Highly recommend this spot! I've had the pleasure of getting tattoos from Lo and Kyra. I've gone back to Lo multiple times since 2023. I love the fine lines, the depth, the details. They've all been reasonably priced too. They're also super sweet, down to chat, not chat, maybe sing a little (with a lovely voice). Very relaxed and soft vibes. I've only gotten one tattoo from Kyra but I will for sure be going back. So far, I love the style of flash sheets created. My Glum tattoo healed very nicely :) I'm a sucker for fine lines and Kyra delivered! Big fan of the shading and attention to detail too. Overall, chill vibes and a positive experience. The space itself is inviting, spacious, and always has a good playlist going. read more

This review is a little about Mirage but mostly about Lo, one of my faaaavorite tattoo artists :) Mirage is super spacious, clean, and has a lot of womxn artists, which I love! It's right near Civic Center BART, so very easy to get to. Lo is amazing and i've followed her to a few different shops now. Her lines are crispy AF and she works FAST y'all. She's my go-to artist for fine / medium line and at this point, i'm kind of a walking billboard for her artwork. She's very communicative (a trait I wish more artists had :), super easy to work with, and a pleasure to sit in session with. Already planning for my next Lo piece ;) read more

I've been getting tattooed by Renette for years now and I can't say enough good things about her and her shop! Always good vibes and good tattoos! Not only is she a very detailed fine line artist (as shown in the picture below) she also is always down to do my silly little tattoo ideas. She just plain loves tattooing, her shop, her clients, and her artists. I still get compliments on my little cowboy tattoo to this day and it was done about 5 years ago! The attention to detail is insane and it's held up very well over the years and I know that's not the case for all fine line tattoos. The shop itself is amazing! It's clean, and welcoming to people of all walks of life! There's something for everybody at Mirage and it's a great place to dip your toes into the tattoo world or to get your 75th tattoo!! read more

I came in to get my very first tattoo and it was a wonderful experience! My artist was Lo, and she was beyond amazing. From the time I messaged her about my idea to now 2 weeks after getting my tattoo done, her process has been seamless and she's been wonderful at communicating each step of the way. She made my idea come to life and captured what I wanted perfectly. I absolutely love my tattoo! She was also a very quick worker, so the tattoo session was done sooner than I expected. Lo is a talented artist and a kind soul and she made me feel comfortable, especially with it being my first tattoo. Highly recommend her, 100/10 read more

I want to start off by saying the shop is beautiful and houses amazing artist! I was extremely excited to get tattooed for their anniversary flash event. But, it ended up in a terrible experience because of the person working check-in. I arrived 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment. When I tried to check in, the person at the front told me my artist was busy but that I could wait inside, outside, or check out their shop. So, I stepped outside. 10 minutes passed, then 20, and finally 30 minutes passed. I was frustrated so I went in and asked if my artist would be ready soon. The front desk person told "oh she just stepped out, she'll be back soon". When my artist finally came to greet me she told me that unfortunately I missed my appointment :( I of course started to cry because I was dissapointed and equally as confused. I was told I was not checked in! But, that would be the mistake of front desk person. It was a really terrible experience for both the artist and I. The artist was incredibly apologetic and kind which was appreciated but it was not thier fault. My time was wasted and my artist lost out on money. The front desk person did not apologize or own up to their mistake in any way, in fact they avoided me! My artist was able to get a fellow artist in the show to squeeze me in and get the tattoo I wanted one hour and 20 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. I was told this was not the first time a mistake like this has been made which is super disheartening. It truly ruined my day and on the way I out I let them know owning up to the mistake would have made me feel better. It was only after my own approach that this person gave an insincere apology. I know mistakes happen but this completely turned me off from returning to this shop which sucks because the artists are talented and kind. read more

I adore Mushbunny/Sophie's work. I booked an appointment with her and she spent 5 hours the first day on the design ($50 for design session) and then 5-6 hours on the second day tattooing. She was extremely professional and communicative throughout the whole process and made my design become reality. I will definitely be back the next time I want more ink. All staff members were polite and they have two very calm pups sleeping in the sun. As a heads up, most of the artists are cash only. Sophie accepts Venmo, so ask the artist what form of payment they accept. Like most tattoo parlors, they do not accept credit card nor check. read more

My experience with Angel Dust Tattoo The tattoo itself is somewhat decent at first glance, but the execution has several issues. I came in with a clear idea and communicated exactly how I wanted it done, but the artist largely dismissed my input and proceeded with his own interpretation instead. There are also noticeable technical problems with the work. The line work is very inconsistent. In some areas where there should be solid, clean lines, it looks more like uneven shading. In contrast, areas that were supposed to be shaded ended up filled with solid lines, which changes the intended look of the design. Communication before the appointment was also frustrating. Messages were often unclear or dismissive, and asking questions or giving feedback felt like it was treated as an inconvenience rather than part of the process. During the session, I also felt uncomfortable asking for basic needs like breaks or using a stress ball, and those requests were not met with understanding. Because of the issues with how the tattoo was executed, I now have to spend additional money with another artist to correct parts of it. I also noticed concerns regarding the overall environment of the shop, including cleanliness. Overall, while the artist may have decent work in other cases, I would not recommend him, especially to younger clients or anyone looking for an artist who will closely follow and respect their vision. read more

Kyra is a wonderful artist!! She's done 3 of my tattoos as well as a few of my sisters tattoos. She's super professional and clean and collaborative. It's clear that she wants the client to be happy with the tattoo she is so patient and awesome (: read more

Experience: Lo Gwynn was very high frequency and matched my energy. I really enjoyed her presence and connecting with her. It helped me embrace the tattoo experience with passion instead of having it be a burden. Post tattoo experience: this photo is taken after 15 days. I bought the recommended soap and moisturizer and applied it every morning and night. They came out perfectly read more

I cannot recommend Lo enough! She was super responsive through her IG and provided an early design review. It was easy to schedule an appointment and send the deposit. Her pricing is reasonable, and she delivers a very high quality of work. I was running late and under estimated parking but she was so understanding and chill about it. She has key attention to detail and won't ignore things like whether it's even, the size in proportion to the location, and even small line details within the design. She knocked it out quick too which I appreciate because that of course can influence cost. I am so excited to have found an artist who I trust and can now return to! Mirage tattoo is a very large space yet it still feels private. Just take into account parking will require extra extra time. read more

I had booked a lower back tattoo with Jo. I found her on instagram and loved her work. She quoted me at a very good price and her work was amazing! She was kind and polite the entire time. I absolutely love my new tattoo. It is my biggest piece so far and I'm glad Jo was my artist. I sent her inspo pictures and she captured the idea perfectly. Already have an appointment set for another with her soon :) read more

Lo is a fantastic black and gray tattooist! She has incredible attention to detail and genuinely wants her clients to be happy with the outcome. Not only is she a talented artist, her ability to design the piece so it fits perfectly on the body is unmatched. I just received my third tattoo from Lo and I plan to go back for more. There is a great level of trust that goes into getting a tattoo and I can say with confidence that you are in excellent hands with Lo. Beyond her incredible tattooing skills, she's a lovely person with a calm demeanor. She's very thoughtful with her suggestions and ideas while at the same time being very open to feedback. The perfect combo! And it doesn't hurt that she has a light hand! Thank you Lo for the beautiful art and fun conversation! Until next time! read more

I have 8 tattoos by Lo, and more to come! First off, they have an incredibly calming presence and were super responsive while we were chatting about my design ideas. Lo has a very good sense of how to adapt illustrations for longevity, and worked with me during our sessions to get the most perfect placement. Lo also excels at pulling fine lines (no small feat), and is SO FAST without sacrificing detail. My tattoos have healed beautifully and overall the entire experience has been incredible, I would highly recommend Lo! read more

Mirage is absolutely the best tattoo shop I've ever been too. Always super clean, super professional, super personable tattooers. Absolutely love Renette and Austin (I'm up to 8 tattoos with him now) and Lucinda, they're so nice and so gentle, my work has healed up great from them. Amazing studio, incredibly talented artists (every time I go in I see what other artists are working on and am super impressed every time, want tats from everyone), I cannot recommend this place (or Renette and Austin!!) enough. read more
