I have gotten two incredible tattoos from Trevor Burtz, and look forward to getting many, many more. The man is a dedicated and passionate artist who is serious about his craft and and pours his heart and soul into every tattoo he does. I came to him with some general ideas which he materialized into a piece of art more amazing than I ever could have imagined. I still get super stoked every time I look in the mirror! Getting tattooed at Missing Link has a very chill, kickback vibe. The shop is small but spacious with a dope sound system and a nice big TV. Trevor lets me bump my music while I get tatted which is an awesome experience! Both Trevor and the other artists are super cool, super nice guys and I love going to his shop and walking down to the beach afterwards. Look no further, if you are unsure and searching for an artist, hit up Trevor Burtz and let him pick your brains. You'll thank me later! read more

This place is so awesome. My 2 friends and I just got tattoos there as a going away for me and we had a blast. They were very friendly and their work is amazing. I was skeptical because I heard negative things about the previous owners so when I walked in and saw that they had new owners I was so glad we went with them, they are very straight forward about expectations and very professional and they even exceeded our own expectations for what we wanted. Oh and they have the most beautiful pillow on a shelf that was so nice to look at while being tattooed. And they were pretty funny too, which is a plus. Their prices were also very reasonable for the amount of time and effort they put in to making each tattoo perfect. I would recommend them to everyone!! read more

My boyfriend and I spontaneously decided we wanted to get tattoos together and searched for shops near us and stumbled upon missing link tattoo, reviewed their work online and decided we would give them a shot! I was tattooed by Reed who did an amazing job on me! I am so extremely pleased with his work and so happy that we decided to swing by the shop. My boyfriend got tattooed by Trevor at the same time as me and he did an equally amazing job on my boyfriend. Needless to say we are both pleased and intend to expand our collection with Missing Link. Will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking to get blasted! read more

The vibe in this shop is awesome. The shop is quaint and the guys are genuinely talented artists. Marco is my go-to guy. Since I found him over a year ago, I won't even consider getting tattooed by anyone else. He's done incredible cover-ups of my past tattoo fiascos, as well as amazing new tattoos. Now, he's working on what will become a full sleeve on my arm. He's the best. Not only is he a spectacular artist, he's also one of the nicest guys I've ever met. And he's vegan - and uses cruelty free ink! He's all kinds of awesome. (IG is @vanillagorillatattoos) read more

My experience at Missing Link Tattoo was of the highest quality. I see myself as a friend more than a client. Marco's work was top quality could not have asked for a better tattoo. I had three large pieces done all for low price compared to what others quoted me. The atmosphere at the shop made you feel very invited. I was even bought food and energy drinks I couldn't have asked for more, I continually go and see him for work. You can see his work at Vanilla Gorilla on Instagram and Facebook. read more

I went in last week for a tattoo. I was helped by a gentleman named Marco. He was very professional and clean! This was my first time getting a tattoo and he was so sweet! He explained to me the entire process from start to finish! My tattoo was perfect!! I'm so excited to show all of my friends! He was recommended to me by my sister who absolutely loves his art and style. I give him five stars!! If you need someone trustworthy and patient and fast, see marco at Missing Link Tattoo!! read more

Missing Link is an amazing shop with amazing artists. This shop is a must if you're looking for some badass tattoo artists who are down to earth and you can shoot the shit with all day while you get tatted. I'm extremely picky in who I have do my tattoos and Trevor understood my idea and ran with it. What he has created is 100x better then what I would have ever imagined and I couldn't be happier! read more

Andrew is an awesome tattoo artist! Spent some time with my girls here last week getting a few tattoos. They look amazing! The only downside is the waiting area outside ... but the shop is new and they are still getting things set up. They could use another bench or a few more chairs. The owner was very sweet though and offered us a couple more folding chairs. Will definitely be back! read more

Andy did an amazing job making us feel welcome! He was nice and professional! He made sure he took the time for us to get to know him and for him to get to know us! (we appreciate that a lot being we're from the south) it was a nice experience and when I get the urge for another tattoo I'll be sure to go to him!!! Ps I love my mountains on my foot!! read more

Hands down one of the greatest tattoo shops in San Clemente! I got a piece down from Marco, his work is pretty damn dope. The two other artists have great work also! Every portfolio was full of bad ass tattoos. I will never go to any other shop. Be sure to set up an appointment these guys are always booked! read more

I went to a few artist and showed them my ideas for my cover ups. They all turned me away because they thought it was impossible to cover the color I had. Marco looked at them and with no hesitation told me he could do it. He took my vision and made it happen. I can't wait to get my more work done by him. read more

Andrew is amazing. He listened to my ideas and when i showed him what i would like, he responded with a beautiful piece to remember my grandmother. The whole crew inside the shop are very friendly and are amazing to be around. They will definitely make you feel comfortable in their shop. read more
