The detail work he pulls off at a small scale is genuinely hard to wrap your head around until you see it up close. I've had strangers stop me just to ask who did it. The shop itself is a whole vibe too. It overlooks the ocean which already makes it one of the coolest locations you could ask for, and the interior matches that energy. It looks sick in the best way possible. Everyone there is super welcoming and easy to talk to, just good people doing great work. If you're serious about getting tattooed and want someone who actually cares about the craft, go see Danny. He's the real deal.

Where do I even begin with Bare Bones Tattoo? I've been getting tattooed here for years, and I can…read morehonestly say there isn't a single tattoo I've gotten from this shop that I regret. Not one. Every piece has been done with care, professionalism, and a level of artistry that keeps me coming back year after year. What makes this place special isn't just the quality of the tattoos--it's the people. Claudio and Zane are genuinely some of the best individuals you'll ever meet. At this point, I don't just consider them tattoo artists; I consider them brothers. From the moment you walk through the door, they make you feel welcomed, respected, and comfortable. Whether it's your first tattoo or your fiftieth, they take the time to listen, offer honest advice, and make sure you leave happy with the final result. The atmosphere at Bare Bones is exactly what a tattoo shop should be. Professional, laid-back, and full of talented artists who truly care about their craft. There's never any pressure, never any ego--just good people creating amazing artwork. That's becoming harder and harder to find these days. I've recommended countless friends and family members to this shop over the years, and every single one of them has thanked me afterward. That's how confident I am in the work they do. If someone asked me where they should get their next tattoo, Bare Bones would be my answer every single time without hesitation. In a world where tattoo shops are everywhere, Bare Bones stands in a class of its own. Claudio and Zane have built something special, and it shows in every interaction, every tattoo, and every client that walks through their doors. I couldn't recommend this place more if I tried. If you're thinking about getting tattooed, stop looking and book an appointment. You'll understand exactly why I've trusted them for years. Proud to support these guys, proud to wear their work, and looking forward to many more tattoos in the years ahead.

I chose a small tattoo from the enormous selection of flash art they have displayed on their walls. Zane was amazing and did it exactly as shown. I couldn't be happier and plan on returning in the future to have a custom designed tattoo done.

I went first and he gave me my first tattoo, which I've been regretting for the past 2 years and cry over it almost every time I see it. His line work SUCKS and it's uneven. I have a picture of it right after I got it and when I saw the picture, I almost started crying and I immediately regretting it. His coworkers were so much nicer and before I saw what it looked like, they mentioned they'd do touch-ups for free. Before I even got home I started contemplating it, but ultimately decided I never wanted to go back there.
