    Layla is amazing!! I've made an appointment with her via instagram and showed her some reference pictures, she told me the price for the piece and today was finally the day for my tattoo! I love it so much, she always made sure I like the size, shading etc, she is super friendly and nice, she made me feel very comfortable and talked with me. Couldn't be happier! Definitely going back

    Really unsatisfied, recently got a tattoo here and after a few days I've really notice how uneven the lines are and crooked the overall shaping is. Paid $120 for this... I feel a bit ripped off and super unhappy, now I have to find someone to fix ts because of how unprofessionally done it looks.

    right after it was done

    I came here on a whim of getting my first tattoo and we just took whoever was available who happened to be Splinter. I didn't realize until a few days after that some blowout had occurred in the beak area.l, some of the lines are uneven in thickness and the same goes for my boyfriends tattoo that he got. Both of our tattoos were in an etched style which is not Splinters normal style so I understand if he's not used to doing tattoos like this and it reflects on the quality I just wish he would've mentioned it or said something about the blowout. I did reach out to the shop and Splinter on instagram but didn't get a reply. I don't think anyone here is a bad artist, would just recommend staying within their style.

    my review is for Layla! i was bored one day and saw she had availability and wanted to get a little tattoo on my leg. she responded very fast and got me in an hour later. she has a lot of cute traditional flash to choose from if you're into that. she's super sweet, professional, and my experience was pleasant.

    Got my first ever tattoo her as seen below! The artist Fernando hooked me up and I won't forget him. He did a great job customer service was on point! I came in late and the owner was tired after a 5 hr tattoo but he arranged fir an artist to come in and do mine instead if turning me away! I am really thankful for the service and it cost me $150 but I tipped $50 because he did an amazing job

    This is two months post op! What a Masterpiece! I would follow this artist around the world! Even my surgeon was in awe!

    Josh is absolutely the best! He knows his job and he is very creative and just knows what to do! I met him when he was working in Cypress and I have a long scar on my knee from 2 knee replacements so I thought long and hard about getting a water lily tattoo on my knee. So I went to see Josh and talk about it we came up with a bunch of colors that we both thought would look good. Then I had a laminectomy and a fusion from my C5 to my T3 and that looked really bad so back I go looking for Josh and they told me that he had moved to Long Beach Ink Assassins so I went looking for Josh and showed him my new ugly scar and we talked about what would look good there so I will put the before and after photos. Josh is absolutely the best and God forbid if I ever have another surgery I will find Josh wherever he is! Even my Surgeon and all the office staff was admiring my neck!

    So check it, i came here to get my first tattoo, and it was a great experience. Splinter was the magnificent artist that helped me out. He did a great job, its a year later, and i couldn't be happier with my ink. one thing that i really respected thought, was that he made sure this wasn't a decision i was just rushing into. he made sure i knew this was something i was going to have on me for life. I came in there knowing what i wanted, but it was nice to see that he wasn't just trying to make money off me. that this is a craft he obviously enjoys and respects. i cant wait until i can save up enough cash and come back.

    Piece by Ed (Diablo). I randomly walked in and he was kind enough to do this one for me.

    "Diablo" did my elephant tattoo and what an amazing job he did! I told him what I wanted and he drew something amazing real quick. He was gentle and kept up a very nice conversation. The lines are clean and I know I have to go back soon to touch it up. They are very accommodating of my walk-in and I will definitely be back for any future endeavors.

    I hope that nobody has to go through the shit that I am with an infected tattoo from this shop. I am not the only one that got a tattoo that night and is infected. My friend and I went to get tattoos and theyre both infected and the ink is coming out of mine. It is a lot of pain and discomfort and now is scarring. There isnt a negative star rating or else it would be at the bottom plus some! HORRIBLE ASS TATTOO ESTABLISHMENT! Only because it wont let me post without a star that star is for negative rating.

    Got my first (very small, but very meaningful) tattoo on my wrist yesterday. Danubio was the artist, he answered all my questions, very patient with an undecided customer like myself. He has a very gentle hand & he's hilarious. Definitely made my experience a good one. I will for sure go back to him for any future tattoos.

    Oscar started this the other day. Also did the snake and both my sleeves.

    Smelled like a reggae concert. But the staff was chill and really nice. Solid place, just in a sketchy part of town.

    The rest of the crew were affable and friendly (hi, Splinter!) and it was a good experience all around.

    I love this shop! They have done 3 of my tattoos so far and all of them have healed wonderfully…read more Ben took me in and just did this piece on me along with my other piece from a year ago. His professionalism and attitude matches his work and I will go back to him. I couldn't be more happy with it! Thank you Port City!!!

    Came here about 6-7 years ago after following Damien King from another shop. Great experience and…read morethe tattoos he did still look nearly brand new almost ten years later. Bad experience with Jack Mauk. Gave a deposit for the first tattoo, a geisha with a dragon that takes up the entire outside of my thigh from knee to hip. Ended up being exceptionally cheap for how big the tattoo was and how long it took him to complete. During the tattoo he made kisses towards the vagina on the geisha that he was tattooing. Pretty weird and red flag. Second tattoo, no deposit required for some reason, but he charged me double the amount of the first tattoo for a much smaller and wayyy less detailed tattoo on my calf. I guess not responding to the kissing towards the tattoo or being receptive in general to his weird vibe caused a pricing change for the second tattoo. When called out on the pricing changes and cringy "flirting" he told me I was not welcome back to the shop. At first I was really upset by his treatment, especially because I wanted to return to see Damien for another tattoo, and was going to contact Tom, the owner. But I have found better artists at shops like Classic Fullerton and Roseland Tattoo that would never dream of treating a client the way Jack treated me. Not the smartest business move and just all around weiiiirrdd.
