Walking into unfamiliar territory, not knowing what to expect, I walked into Golden Eagle Tattoo and asked for Justin, based on a recommendation from a friend. A young man with a lot of tattoos walked up to me an introduced himself as Justin. I was SHOCKED!!! Justin had to be one of the kindest, most attentive, present, professional human beings I have ever met!!! Justin walked me through the whole process and the tattoo outcome was far beyond my expectations. Justin is AMAZING!!! and he will forever have all of my recommendations.

I had such a great experience at Cleopatra Piercing! Yilmar did both my nose and helix piercings,…read moreand I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire experience comfortable and easy. Everything was extremely clean, and Yilmar took the time to explain the process, placement, and aftercare. He made sure I was completely happy with the positioning before doing the piercings, and both were done quickly and smoothly. I absolutely love the results! I highly recommend Yilmar to anyone considering a piercing. I will definitely be coming back to Cleopatra Piercing for any future piercings. Amazing experience from start to finish!

The guy who pierced me was nice however the setting is very unprofessional and I don't feel like…read morethey are legit. They use very low quality jewelry and the most glaring red flag for me was that I came in with a group of girls and he had us only signed one waiver and didn't even ask us for ID or our ages until after he had pierced us, which he's lucky because both me and the other girl who got pierced are over the age of 18 and had he pierced somebody who was under the age of 18 without parent permission He would have a huge lawsuit on his hands. Nothing is wrong with my piercing, but I would not come back here just because of how they do business.

A few years ago, I would have given this place 5 stars. I think the artists are excellent, and do…read moregreat work. However, they have become too "Santa Barbara." My sister and I wanted to get some work done, so we gave Sebastian a picture. He drew up a version of his own. We requested a few edits, and he sent another one that still wasn't quite right-if we're getting a tattoo, we want it to be EXACTLY what we want-and it was nothing complicated, a simple animal design, but the details were a bit off and we requested a couple more simple revisions-again, nothing major, the placement of the tail, the angle of the head, that kind of thing. At this point, Sebastian informed us we needed to find a new artist who could bring to life our "ideal" as our patronage was not worth the effort he was putting into the tattoo, time and money wise. After only TWO revision requests. Now, my sister and I have both dealt with other tattoo artists (and ended up moving on to others after this) none of whom complained when they had to re-draw a design a half dozen times. They were totally willing to work with us to make sure everyone was happy. We were very sad, having had work done by both artists before and been happy with the work. THEY DO VERY GOOD WORK. But it's still a customer service industry, and the customer is most certainly always right in this instance, as they have to live with the results forever. Sis and I both have "people" jobs and know how difficult working with customers can be, but we were not being demanding or rude or bossy or anything-we treat people as we want to be treated. So we were baffled by the bad attitude. And Sebastian got what he wanted, we stopped going to him for tats. How nice that Otherworld is doing so well they can shuck off loyal customers.

BEST TATTOO SHOP IN SB/VENTURA! Went to this shop after researching basically all shops from Santa…read moreBarbara to Ventura. They have the best reviews and I can see why. The shop is clean and professional, and the artists were super down-to-earth; no pretentious vibes. Felt totally welcome here. Their prices are also without a doubt the most reasonable. Unlike other places I got quotes from, here I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of on pricing just because it's Santa Barbara. Enrique (@enriqueillustrates) tattooed me. I got the text "AMOR FATI" in black Times New Roman on my left arm. (Full phrase was 6" long; 1" in height; 1mm in thickness/boldness of letters.) If you're looking for text, go to Enrique -- but honestly, I'd say go to him for anything. His line work and shading were so clean! My go-to tattoo artist from now on. Another artist named Brenno (@ressarectink) was also super kind and helpful. The shop is on Instagram under @slang1ng1nk. Such good vibes from this place. 10 OUT OF 10 IN ALL THE WAYS! (P.S. They have a few parking spots in the driveway/lot right beside the shop. Keep an eye out; not easy to notice. They do take walk-ins, but call first. Also, bring cash. You have to pay for the tattoo/piercing in cash. How you tip -- cash or Zelle -- is up to you. But the right answer is cash ;-) )
