Very pleasant and personable. All the staff there are so laid back and make you feel comfortable in their shop. I needed quite a touch up on a tat I got done by someone else, and I couldn't have imagined a better work of art to be done! You definitely need to see my before and after picture to believe it! (It's the one with the leaf/birds) Thank you NorCal ink! Thank you Cat!

I have no idea how this shop earns a high rating. He's a nice person, but he's ham-fisted and has…read morea child running around the shop all night while he works. The end result is a rushed tattoo by a completely distracted single dad who overworks the heck out of the tattoo area. It took months for my skin to heal. The tattoo areas were so overworked that I have been battling a losing fight against tattoo granulomas. I have several tattoos and have never had an immune response before and now I'm looking at having to endure laser treatments and immunosuppressants until resolved/removed. I take responsibility too. There were several times I should have walked away, before and during my tattoos. I should wife walked away when I spent an hour entertaining his child. I should've walked away when he had to continuously interrupt our session to deal with his daughter. I should have stopped when I realized that the tattoo was looking to be completed in less than half the anticipated time. I should have stopped and walked away when I saw the texture of my skin began to change mid-tattoo and literally constrict and tighten right before my eyes. But then didn't, because I didn't know why... His daughter is adorable and he seems like a nice guy, but he is not putting the care and safety of clients first, either that or he's just really inexperienced. My tattoos are a disaster. They itch. They hurt. They bleed. It's been months and my road to recovery is barely beginning. And that's only one aspect. A behind the ear tattoo recover he did has left me with marked physical changes to the mastoid bone and it is undetermined still as to whether or not I will require invasive treatment to repair it. All my other tattoos from other artists remain fine. So my issues are not a systemic attack against the inks themselves or I would have issues with other tattoos as well. My issues are self-limiting to his work: Go elsewhere. Don't take the chance. It's just not worth the risks.

If you look at the picture, you can see where he blew out the lines in several places. I sat like a rock as I know how important it is and expected such a simple tattoo to come out clean.

Two of the truly nicest people that you will ever meet! Don't take a chance on getting that tattoo from someone who you will regret going to later, go to a shop you can trust to do it right like First Love! And they do it in a friendly, clean and sanitary environment. And just wait until you see the shop, it is an amazing experience just by itself! I now have 20 tattoos, and Juan has done the last 4, and they are the best tattoos of all of them. I can't rate the experience I have had there any higher than this, and to just say thanks to Juan and Tracey for everything, and for giving me tattoos that I am so proud to show off. SIX STARS!!!
