Did a walk in last night to check into a tattoo my husband, my best friend and I designed together. Ended up working with a guy named Benji. All I can say is dude rocks. I showed him my work up and after we discussed color shading and place and sizing he got to work. He was very clean, he disinfected everything properly before starting and after finishing up. He was very kind to help distract me during the less pleasant part by chatting about art and work, and family stuff (my husband and I were in together getting separate pieces done). At the end of it all the work came out almost exactly like the image I wanted with the almost being slight adjustment for the placement and shading to make it pop. So actually better than the image. I highly recommend this shop and in particular Benji or Matt, he did my husbands work and it was also excellent. Below are pictures of mine and my husbands work. The helix was Benji and the lantern was Matt. read more

Moonchild Tattoo - Most recent tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Fresno, California

My sister and I came in on a Saturday morning looking to get matching Calcifer tattoos. We left our name and number then went across the street to eat and relax before we were called. We waited about 2-3 hours before we were called. This was my first tattoo and my sisters second. We told our artist Matt what we wanted and showed him pictures. In no time he had exactly what we wanted with different size options. He was incredibly patient and kind. I think he could tell I was getting a little nervous and started up conversation to distract me. Since it was my first tattoo I don't have any other reference, but he worked with a gentle hand and his line work came out amazing. Definitely planning on coming back for my next tattoos! read more

Moonchild Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Fresno, California

Moonchild Tattoo in the Tower District of Fresno was just what we needed at the right time! I called and talked to Matt, who was very accommodating, friendly, and open minded! Matt told us to come on in...so we did. 3 girls...off the street...looking for a simple cancer tattoo for a memory. Walked in, place was clean, quiet, and welcoming. The attitude of Matt and his helpfulness with me and 2 of my cousins, one which never had a tatt before, was over the top, and very much appreciated! We came with a simple design that our cousin wanted us to get in her memory. Matt not only made that happen, he did it in the least restrictive environment for everyone involved. Worked with my cousin and made her feel at ease and helped her with color choice. I came in with exactly what I wanted, colors and all...and he made magic happen! Matt was very light at his handy work, always checking if everyone was alright. Matt was patient with us acting like cousins that were out on the town, getting a new tattoo. So I thank you Matt for making my "virgin tattoo" cousin feel at ease, and lose her virginity! Looking for some awesome art work....go see Matt at the Moonchild Tattoo parlor! Thanks for my memory! read more

Moonchild Tattoo - Half moon & sun - Tattoo Near Me - Fresno, California

I came in last week to inquire about getting a new tattoo and talked with a young Lady at the front desk about what it is I wanted and when would be the best time to come in , And who would be the best person for what I want it done as far as shading and detail... the answer she gave me was bland.. " Whenever is fine we do except walkins , we're only closed on Wednesday (even though the sign out front says seven days a week) and just get here super early so that you can put your name on the list and we will make sure will get to you, anybody here at the shop can do the tattoo that you want they're all more than capable. so being that as it may hear I am first thing in the morning..five minutes early before 11 AM Tuesday morning and the place is closed ... totally let down.. I tried calling the number on the glass that didn't work. I wait out front for at least 30 minutes in the hot sun and nobody's appearing to show up .. I even asked the next-door bar if they knew when or if anybody would be coming to open up the tattoo shop and he tells me as far as he knows it's by appointment only... well that's not the information that I got last week so that sucks but whatever I'll just take my money elsewhere was planning on spending like $3000 here but oh well read more

How do I in one review describe the love and respect that I have for Joshua Newman? He's been tattooing me for over 8 years now and he's honestly an amazing artist. I've followed him to multiple shops and he has given me the opportunity to love something about my body when I literally hated everything about it. He's an incredible, professional, creative, fast tattoo artist and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who is considering a new tattoo. I will continue to come to him...and drag my friends to him...it's my goal in life to create a huge tribe of people with beautiful creative diverse tattoos and that is what you can get from josh. His work speaks for itself and you won't regret going to him. read more

Just before I start this review: I looked up the business on Instagram. There I was able to figure out the name of the individuals who I encountered in the shop. I was literally yelled at today, by Matt. He raised his voice at me. I understand I might have been a little difficult, because I asked questions and because I wanted a lower price for a small tattoo (he wanted to change me minimum $100-$120 for a tattoo about as small as three inches and I was just wanting to understand why another tattoo artist of the same shop would have charged me only $150 for a tattoo that covered my whole forearm, hence why I wasn't understanding). I already had so many bad days lately, and i wanted to get tattooed to make me feel better. He's just like everyone else I come across every day of my life. This individual today could have handled himself in a more controlled and professional manner. I even tried to walk away from him to talk to the other tattooist that was present there, his colleague Edgar. There were no other customers present during the short 10min or so that i was there, around 5:30PM on Saturday January 29, 2022. I was hoping I could get away from Matt because he was bothered by me and I could not speak to someone who has their voice raised in anger at me. So I turned to Edgar, and I said to him that his colleague was rude (that was an understatement, it was more like abuse and I should have walked away but I was giving Edgar a chance at customer service as a role model to his co worker) and what was Edgar's response? "I am rude, too" The people in this establishment are beyond belief. I even posted them I was so excited to get a tattoo there. I almost cried, but they're not worth my tears. I hope nobody gets yelled at there. I know I am a small girl, but they didn't have to treat me that way as a potential paying customer. But it's okay, now I know that people are rude, no matter if you're giving your confidence for them to mark your skin. Imagine If he got mad at me during the tattoo process? I wouldn't want a bad memory of someone ugly outside and inside to stay in my skin and memory. Let me just add the amount of time and research it takes to find a great tattoo artist with a great personality who isn't all about money, but who is also a good person and makes you feel confident about giving them your time and yeah, money. Actually I am now driving home and crying. Every time I leave my house, someone always ruins my day. No one seems to treat other people with respect and dignity anymore in this world. I guess I'll just never get any tattoos. No one needs tattoos anyways. I had high hopes here because they have good ratings and the previous tattoo artist I spoke to a few months ago wasn't like these people today. Instead of a tattoo, I have tears. Thanks. What a shame. read more

I don't recommend coming here I waited for two hours so I can get a tattoo in Roman numerals just so the can tell me that they couldn't do it which was honestly stupid if it was already written on the paper what I had wanted! read more

Went in for a tattoo and was told by the tattoo artist that she was going to sit down and eat and couldn't do a tattoo at the moment. Asked if an appointment could be made to get the tattoo and was told they don't make appointments for small tattoos. Not sure the shop wants business. Maybe that is why no one was in the shop getting a tattoo. read more

The gals that answer the phones to help you with your questions EXCELLENT. Tattoo artist, Edgar absolutely horrible, arrogant and an idiot. I will continue to post reviews about his horrific attitude and lack of skills. My one month old baby can tattoo better than Edgar. He's obviously miserable and takes it out on his "client" if he's having a bad day. Which seems like all the time! I have tattoos completed from tattoo artists from all around the nation, done professionally with NO COMPLAINTS. Hands down, Edgar gave me a tattoo that was beyond pathetic. The worst tattoo artist EVER!!!! I'll take it to the grave and Tattoo Nation magazines if needed to so that no one else is stuck with shoddy work completed by Edgar. He's an embarrassment to tattoo artists done in the central valley.,, RUINED MY BODY PART FOR LIFE. So now, i will be gladly return the favor via reviews in every app or social media possible. ANY QUESTIONS? Please contact me and I will be HAPPY to fill you in with the TRUTH. God is my witness and am 101% utmost honest with this review. Thank you. read more

I came in at 3pm for two days in a row as a walk in and sat in the shop for 5 hours until they closed just to be told that there would be no time for me, both days. It was very disappointing and unfair. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Walked in around noon to ask about setting up an appointment. Benji said he would be available at 4:00 to get the lettering I asked about. He asked for my phone number so he could contact me if he wouldn't be able to keep the 4:00 time. I showed up at 4:00 and he said Oh man, I'm not gonna be able to help you. Would have been nice to get a text or call so I didn't have to drive so far for nothing. Not professional at all. read more

Josh has done 99% off my tattoos. He has done a full sleeve in color and is currently in the process of doing my other sleeve again in full color. His color holds really well. Josh is a artist first and I trust a artist I normally give josh just an idea of what I want and I let him create. He is always spot on. I get so many complements to my left arm sleeve I can't wait until he finishes my right arm sleeve. He owns the business and you can tell he and his staff take pride in the cleanliness and environment of the shop. The staff/artist he has are really cool and great artist as well. I would recommend this shop to anyone. read more

My first tattoo and second were done by Josh from Moonchild. He has a light hand, he's super quick and the quality is amazing. Great prices. Free touch-ups if you're unhappy. My first tattoo I was a little nervous because I have keloid scars on my back due to acne. My dermatologist told me a tattoo could form into a keloid if I were to get one. Josh went out of his way to text me when I would send pictures asking if the tattoo was healing properly. My two have turned out beautiful. read more

I was fortunate enough to get an appointment with Josh Newman in a timely manner and was so happy with my experience! The shop is clean, unique, and vibrant. They sell records, CDs, and cassettes. Guests are able to read the cool coffee table literature about tarot cards, palm reading, etc. while they wait. As Josh worked on the designs for my tattoos he continued to check in and really worked with me on what exactly I wanted. Rates are very fair and I cannot wait to go back for my next tattoo! read more

Josh did me and my boyfriends tattoos, it was both our first time getting a tattoo and he was nice and kept asking how we were feeling. After that we've just kept going to him and he's really the only person we trust to tattoo us now. Everyone at our work compliments the work and always asks for his number. He's great at what he does and his pricing is awesome! Wouldn't trust anyone else or go to anyone else! read more

This shop is great get all my work done by Edgar. He's very professional and you can tell he cares about the work he does. His prices are good, his work is worth it.

Don't bad mouth because you didn't get tattooed. read more
