    Daith Piercing!
    Spooky T.

    Piercing by Jingles was amazing! The whole process of getting my daith pierced took less than 15 min! He was able to work with my request of a horseshoe instead of a captive bead, and even anodized my jewelry for me. I even got to watch. Definitely recommend and i will be returning for future piercings!! I payed 60$ for everything!

    Amazing job

    Julius is a legend in my book. Super great guy and fantastic artist. Interesting decor but kinda dug it. Definitely will be back for more work.

    We absolutely love our piercing. This place is very clean and they're friendly. Jingles did me and my sisters noise piercing. I highly recommend him

    Javion did this one. Nothing like the rest and still took my $100

    I went to this shop because of the good reviews and the variety in the art they do. I came and stated I wanted something similar to what I had and maybe something of the fractal genre or biomech. I sent over a few designs that I was intersted in and paid a quick deposit of $100. A week or so later I was sent 2 designs that were completely different. One of which looked like a q*bert game from atari, and the other was something you would see in Assasin's Creed or something. Both of which were far off from what I wanted. I reviewed his insta and it was pretty much only pin up or classic american tats. I asked if there was anyone that could possibly help me Javion got upset and pretty much gave up. Here are the examples I gave to the shop and guess which ones he sent back to me. It might be an educational moment for Javion. I thought that was it but I got bullied by some guy named Julius. He had some good points but still had a serious attitude problem.

    Cant say enough great things about this place. Despite moving to LA it is the only shop I will go to for piercings and tattoos. Everything from the atmosphere to the people working there, is top of the line. I was originally just a walk in for a piercing, and it was such a great experience I came back to start and finish a full sleeve with the owner Julius. His work is fantastic and I always leave more than happy. Somehow he always has the ability to turn my scattered brain tattoo ideas into beautiful artwork. As far as those lame negative reviews, it sounds like you guys seriously need to get a Psychiatric evaluation, not a tattoo.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Julius! He worked with me to get the design just how I wanted it and it is beautiful! He's super chill and was very accommodating, helping to work around my schedule. Definitely recommend him and his shop.

    We found this shop on YELP at 9pm via messaging. They responded quickly and were able to get us in the next day (today)!! We were doing a family day with my son and daughter. My son and I had never had tattoos before. We weren't nervous about the tattoos but about the shop and the artists. Would they get what we want? Would they be clean? Would they be good? Well, Paragon fulfilled all our expectations and then some. I wanted a tattoo that represented my kids passions; photography and music. I knew I wanted a camera and a music note but no idea how! Alan was my artist and immediately came up with the musical note in the lens of the camera. He even asked both of them questions to make sure it truly represented them. He was awesome. Emelie did my daughters tattoo that was an amazing sun for the song "You are my sunshine" that I sang to her as a child. And my son wanted a phrase from a twenty one pilots song with holding hands. They were all fantastic and did exactly what we wanted.

    My second time coming to this place and will continue coming here. Just love it, they make it so easy and fast to get an appointment. Leaving reviews is not my thing but highly recommend this place. Jayvion has done my tattoos this two times I've been there and I have to say he's the best. So far I have done 4 tattoos and I love them all. Definitely going back soon. I'm obsessed with this one!!!!

    This is hands down the most delightful tattoo shop I have ever paid a visit to! The vibe is so friendly, welcoming and warm. Response time is spot on, communication is A+, and overall enthusiastic staff really makes the experience completely comfortable. I had the pleasure of having my tattoo done by Shan(Shanchai) extremely gentle hands is all I can say. I honestly felt like I wasn't even getting a tattoo for a moment. I will 100% be returning . Visiting Tattoo shops have always been a frightening experience for me due to having such an unwelcome feeling the second I walk into most of them. You won't feel that here. Paragon WANTS your business! Thank you Shan! Hope to see you very soon.

    Went for some ear piercings with friends. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Cherry did all three of us. She was beyond friendly and her knowledge surprised me. She could tell I stretched my ears in the past even though they've healed. She takes her time to ensure the placement is right, and that you are satisfied with where she will be piercing before starting. My past experience is getting my ears done at Claire's in the mall so this was like a luxury lol. I got my lobes done and my friends got conch, daith, and 3 on the flat. More daring than me. Cherry was thorough with after care and made sure we knew she was available for any questions are concerns in the future.

    My husband go an amazing piece of art done ( tattoo) .! Julius ,the owner ,was so helpful and made scheduling easy. When my husband and myself went to talk to him about the tattoo he was able to get the feel for exactly what my husband wanted . We showed him 2 pictures of what my husband was thinking . A family of sugar skulls to represent our family . We also told him one of the skulls we wanted to have a cleft lip to resemble our daughter who was born with a cleft lip . Before the appointment Julius send my husband sketches. It took only 2 sessions . 1 for our lining the other for coloring . My husband absolutely loves his tattoo. Thank you Julius .!

    Nose stud & septum
    Frances G.

    I recently went in for a nose stud and a septum piercing. Scheduling with Ryan was super easy. My appointment was right on time, he's great to talk to, and really clean and fast. I thought my septum had completely closed because it's been YEARS since I had a piercing in, but he realized it was still mostly open, ending up not having to pay for that repiercing. Easy to talk to, will definitely be returning for any future piercings!

    This is the only shop I'll go to anymore. I have been working on a sleeve with Julius. He is a TRUE ARTIST. The tattoos I've received from him are really detailed and fine tuned to the shape of my body. If you're thinking of a shop, GO HERE! The shop aesthetic is spot on. Great art, chill people, excellent music.

I came in based off the "Good" reviews only to come in and meet a guy with a tone and bad vibe. Mind you I also called before driving 30 minutes to this "reputable" piercer.

Then had an attitude about it, didnt apologize for wasting my time nor tried to offer anything else to help the fact I drove over for piercings he knew he couldn't provide.. He didnt care at all. All he had to say was well bring the jewelry yourself- which was pretty unprofessional. Although he stated he had what I needed on the phone. Either way, I definitely don't recommend this guy if you're a minority. He's only "nice" to the people who look like himself if you understand what I mean :) -3/10 surely He will try to change his behavior towards customers after someone leaves a review about it.

    Steven Gonzalez of Artistryy Tattoos/ Mo Val Inked in Moreno Valley, CA is a liar and a thief…read more I came to Steven with a custom back design I drew myself. He praised the artwork, even called over another artist to admire it, and quoted me $800. I explained that I had hired a previous artist who had butchered my vision by swapping my original work with generic clip art, and I wanted someone who would honor what I had drawn. He seemed very excited to do the work, and said he loved my design. Steven assured me he would do it right. He promised to provide finished digital lineart two weeks before the appointment so I'd have time for revisions if needed. I booked two months in advance and paid a $100 deposit. Two weeks out--no lineart, so I messaged him to ask for it. One week out--he sent a tiny, half-assed sketch made of--you guessed it--more fn clip art! I waited. Another small fragment came in several days later. Sloppy, generic, and clearly nothing like my design. My original drawings, including two of my pets, were reduced to cookie-cutter garbage. I was losing sleep over the stress. I really wanted this piece to be done correctly. Still, I tried to trust him. His portfolio on Instagram was gorgeous, so I wanted to believe in him. The day before the appointment--still no full lineart. I asked to reschedule when he had time to do as he had promised: provide lineart I could approve of or request changes to before the appointment. He gaslit me and insisted that his other clients trusted him. I explained my concern and said I wasn't comfortable getting inked without seeing a complete draft, especially after my previous experience. Which he KNEW. He told me to come in anyway. He said I could at least try on a stencil. When I arrived, he was scrambling to slap something together on his iPad at the last moment. Not the whole thing, again, just one element of it. What he printed wasn't even close to my design. He took an elegant, feminine design and turned it into a back alley biker tattoo. It was thick, coarse, and ugly. When I politely told him this wasn't even close what I wanted, he said, "I'm not the artist for you," and then refused to refund my deposit. He immediately blocked me on Instagram and updated his bio to say deposits are non-refundable. Let's be clear: I didn't flake on the appointment--he did. He had two months to deliver on his promise. He lied, stalled, copied cheap clip art, and gaslit me to guilt me into coming in, wasting my time as I had to clear the entire day for nothing. He took my money, but did no real work. It felt like it might be his MO: take your deposit, string you along, ignore your design, and his own promises, and deliver garbage he knows you'll reject so he can pocket your money without lifting a finger. My husband said it seemed like a scam, and I agree. Steven Gonzalez is not a professional--he's a liar, and a thief. I now have serious doubts as to whether any of the art on his Instagram is even his. If he'll steal money, he'll steal credit too. Avoid this shop at all costs. Don't trust Steven with your time, your money, or your skin. Big mistake. Enjoy your $100 review, Steven!

She was raving about Alyssa and her work with nano brows, which she said is far better than microblading. Then I read all her highly rated reviews and followed her instagram for months before finally making the decision to do it. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Alyssa is an absolute gem and amazing at what she does. She felt that I was nervous being its my first time and she immediately put my mind at ease. It never seemed like she was rushing through the appointment. She was very thorough in explaining each step in the process and answering all the questions I had. From the moment I walked in, I loved how clean and comfortable her place was. She makes you feel very relaxed by putting a wedge pillow under your legs and providing a warm blanket. She was so patient with me during the outlining in making sure I loved the shape and look. Alyssa is very skilled at her craft, she studies the shape of your brows, how it fits your face, works with you every step of the way to perfect the look, and then delivers the final result even better than you could've imagined. I am so pleased with how they came out I couldnt stop staring since they looked so natural. I've recommended all my girls to Alyssa and confident that she'll take care of them. The process was seamless and she walked me through the phases of recovery that I would go through as they heal so I knew exactly what to expect. Now makeup in the morning is a breeze and I have brows that slay all day. Thank you Alyssa xoxo

Mike did my first tattoo back in 2022, and I've been going to him ever since. I will forever refer anyone to him who asks for recs . I was going through a very hard time in my life and basically embarrassingly spiraled in his shop during a consult for a back piece that I was unsure of. He is so patient, kind, considerate, humble, and such a safe space dude. There was NEVER any pressure, no negative energy/vibes, not EVER pushy or "sales"-y or do something other than you asked for because he "feels like it" or thinks "it would look better this way." He wants to make sure you're happy before proceeding with anything. Final boss of professionalism. All of my tattoos are from what my late Dad had, but I made each one my own in a traditional style and Mike has helped me bring the last pieces to life every time, every session. I'm truly grateful to have met him and greatly appreciate the person he is. May all tattoo artists take a page out of Mike's book and be like him. If you're hesitating on getting another one or if it's your first one- DO IT. GET IT DONE BY MIKE! K TYVM BYE!
