Big Clint a samurai ninja when it comes to tattoo's.

The music sucks, but I know I am not there to listen to music. Anyway, place is nice,clean, and sanitary. The art that surrounds the walls is awesome. The hand painted sign is awesome, there are some creative people in there. I had my tattoo done by Flan, he is courteous, professional, and talented. He worked with me and made sure I was satisfied with my tattoo. read more

Big Clint is the Man! He's a great artist and an awesome dude I've been getting my work done by Clint for years. Super friendly staff and professional at all times. I've met a few of the artists there Greggo, M Rivera and JOJo all friendly and cool down to earth people. I highly recommend Rise above tattoo chill atmosphere and good ole tattoo work done right! read more

One of the best shops around! I have had four tattoos done out of this shop and am so happy and pleased with each one. Clint and Mike have been the artists I have used and i will continue to do so. This shop is a gem among all those in the inland empire. I will continue to send my friends and family there as long as great artist like these guys are there! read more

Sorry I never seen your reply. Thank you for reaching out. I know it's been a long time since my review. Glad you updated your staff. I have heard good things from a few friends that got work done there. Keep it up and thank you again for reaching out read more

Got my daith pierced by their new piercer mike last week. I went in because of a Friday the 13 promotion they were having. He did a great job! My piercing is healing nicely and no signs of any issues. Even though the shop was crowded because of the promotion, he took the time to make me feel comfortable and decide on the best placement and jewelry. He answered all my questions and did so in a way not to make me feel like an idiot. Some piercer's I've had or encountered can be assholes. Overall very happy with my experience and would def go back. read more

my brother and I went and got tatted by charles. he took his time and did what we wanted. I'd go back in a heart beat if I lived in this area. read more

Highly recommend Jojo. No need to write a long review, her work speaks for itself! Also Mike is the man for all your piercing needs.

I went to get a tattoo for Friday the 13th. I was turned away even tho I called and they said they were still doing them. The guy was rude and i will not be going back. read more

First time here, great overall experience! From the appointment set up to the finished tattoo - which was exactly what I wanted and more - it's been nothing but profesional, good quality tattoo at a fair price, and great customer service :) Good atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience very comfortable! Anyone who disagrees is lame haha read more

Cool little shop with a punk rock/skater/biker vibe, I'll be coming back...and MikeYK is hands down one of the coolest piercer around

First time tattoo and Clint and Andy made it so easy and fun. Will be coming back for more and will be highly recommended. Thanks again and keep up the great work! read more

Sick shop sick people amazing work!! Shawn did an awesome job with my 1st tattoo. Super stoked . I would completely recomend rise above tattoo co. To anyone looking for some ink . read more

I had a full sleeve done at the shop. I have to admit they took more than enough time to work with me on figuring out exactly what i wanted. I will for sure be going back. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!! read more

I'm almost 60 years old and recently got my first tattoo.....and then the second one by Greg, aka, Greggo. The two little darlings in this photo with me are Greg's kids and my grandkids. Greg does excellent work and I highly recommend him, not because he's the father of my grandkids but his work is freaking awesome! read more

If you're looking for welcoming people that create an atmosphere of positive vibes, come here! Everyone was friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to. Andy helped me with my little flame ! He's a great guy and makes sure he captures the tattoo you envision. Will definitely be going there again!! read more

Came in by recommendation of a friend. Since I walked in all of them were very friendly and welcoming. Michael Rivera did my roman numeral tattoo on my wrist. I had an idea of where I wanted it but he helped me figure out exactly where to put it and why I shouldn't put by another existing tattoo. Mike is super cool and knows his stuff. His suggestions where right on! I am very pleased with it and I will definitely be back soon to see Mike again! read more

I got my first tattoo here today. Walked in on a Sunday afternoon. Showed Michael a few photos that I liked and in no time he drew up just what I had in mind. I was nervous but he made me feel at ease through the process. I love my tattoo and will recommend this place and Michael every day. I live in the OC and if I get another tattoo will come back here. Thank you. read more

I got my first tattoo from Shawn in 2011. He has done three of my tattoos and I won't go to anyone else. I've found my life long tattoo artist. I have no desire to go anywhere else. Cheers! read more

I've known Shawn for a long time now, an have gotten work done from him for years in San Jose. I have already gotten a couple pieces done at this location, and it looks great. All the guys working there are very helpful and professional when it comes from old clients to tattoo virgins. They incorporate their own personal advice only to make sure that the tattoo looks the best and is placed in the perfect location. They are all very talented and great personalities to be around, making me feel at ease and in good hands. Great staff, and are always up for walk-ins. I don't go anywhere else, Rise Above has it all: professionalism, talent, and great atmosphere. read more

Best tattoo shop iv walked into ! I told Shawn kind of what I wanted an he was able to draw up a beautiful piece ! It came out very clean and detailed my husband also got a tattoo of my name and his writing is very net and clean, iv gotten so many great comments on my tatt ! I highly recommend this tattoo shop ! read more

I first came to this shop back in October 2013 and got my first tattoo with Michael Rivera and I was very pleased with my first tattoo. I came back a second time with the same artist for a Friday the 13th and once again I was pleased. Earlier this year I went in and got a small simple outline of a heart done with a friend and not only were two of the artists extremely rude but both my tattoo and my friend's came out horrible. The ink of my tattoo looks like it began to spread and the healing process was horrible, felt like really deep cuts compared to my first two and I took care of all of them but the last one was just the worst! My friend's tattoo had the same complication along with horrible scarring and that was her first tattoo. Safe to say neither of us will be coming back for a tattoo and need to find a new shop to fix our simple outlines of a heart. Other than tattoos, Mike the piercer was extremely nice and helped me with piercings I had done else where, I might consider going back to get pierced by him. read more

Just went to this place today and got a cover-up by big Clint who is the man I am so so happy with my cover up of my ex's name with a beautiful flower I can't be more satisfied from the time I walked in I was greeted place was very very clean music was cool and he took really really good care of me you want to get a tatoo then go to this place you won't be disappointed read more

Loved my experience!:) thanks Mike for tattooing my sons name on me! I had a great experience here, highly recommend!

So glad I came across this shop. Jojo did my tattoo exactly how I wanted it! It came out even better than I imagined! Definitely recommending friends read more

Awesome tattoo shop! Got my first tat done by Michael, who I was referred to by a friend of mine. He did an awesome job on my chest piece. Then I came back a second time, Michael was off but he referred me to Chris, who also did an awesome job on my second tat. I'll be back again soon, both guys are chill and pay very close attention to every single detail! You won't be disappointed! read more

I have been pierced by Riss twice. She has pierced my nipples and tragus. Both experiences were completey pleasurable and I recommend her to all my friends. My experience with my nipples was painless. She talked me through the process and it was over before I knew it. Of course it was painful but after she was done, I didn't notice them much. By the next day, I didn't even notice they were pierced..I felt no pain. My tragus was easy as well. I had no complications with either piercing. Her hand is so light which made getting pierced less stressful. I am definitely a faithful customer of hers! read more

Jo Jo was amazing. I came in with an idea of what i wanted but wasn't too sure how to describe it. Jo Jo continued to draw it out until I liked it and had a lot of patience during the process. She listened and shared her own personal story which helped me to feel comfortable. Thank you a bunch Jo Jo read more

Joanna (JoJo) is definitely the one you want to see at Rise Above Tattoo. She does amazing work with color and she's so personable!! I went in with a very specific idea in my head and she definitely delivered!! I dragged my boyfriend in with me so I wouldn't be scared during my foot (ouchie) tattoo but honestly I had a better conversation going on with Joanna he didn't even need to be there haha...She's honest, tells you her professional opinion, and actually works with you on what you want. Definitely can't wait to go back to her!!! read more

Clint is the guy to see if you want a tattoo! He is super friendly and always does great work. Just saw him for the third time and I am always impressed by what he does. He has a light hand and will make the experience as enjoyable as possible. Plus the shop is cool - lots of art to look at and great music! read more

First time at the shop and the vibe was so welcoming. Everyone's work looked great from their books. Greg did mine and he made me feel totally comfortable and did such an amazing job. Highly recommend this place. read more

I have been seeing this tattoo shop over two years now every time I go to the gym I park sort of in front of their place because I trust that if anything were to happen to my car or myself they would do something about it. So I finally came in to check the shop out, it was wonderful! Very clean, bright, and fun decor. The employees were even better! The guys were so happy nice and very welcoming when I came in. They hung out while I got my work done. And not to mention but the tattoo artists are very good to look at. That always helps when pain is involved. Some nice eye candy . Anyway my artist was the talented Chris and he was friendly and upbeat. He drew up the coolest tattoo I could ever imagine for my ufo I told him a few things I wanted and had him do whatever he felt like to make it as unique as possible! He nailed it I can't wait to come back for more! The price was perfect just like their staff!!! So ignore the rest of the bullshit bad reviews because they don't know what they are talking about! Trust me, try this place!!!!!!! read more

Rise Above Tattoo - A few seconds after finishing a bit red. But so damn rad! My artist was the amazing Chris!!! - Tattoo Near Me - Montclair, California

My sister and I went to Rise Above Tattoo and Piercing last Saturday! First, Shawn Phelps is AMAZING! He is so nice and such a great artist! He has done other tattoos on us before and we are always so happy with the results! I highly recommend Shawn to anyone! As for the shop, it is so nice and VERY clean! All who work there are so warm and welcoming! We had good laughs and a great time! Plus, I LOVED the framed artwork all over the walls. SO COOL! If you want a tattoo, go to Rise Above for sure. You will not be disappointed at all. Reasonably priced, nice atmosphere, and you will love the tattoo you choose to get! It is really easy to get to as well since it is so close to the 10 freeway. Rise Above Tattoo is better than Excellent!! I truly mean that. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone!! read more

I have been looking for an artist who would create a piece to cover up an old tattoo that I have been wanting covered up for years. All I wanted was detail and color done right. Shawn was spot on. I'm going back soon for a brand new piece. Its the kind of studio that you can trust will listen to you. He took his time and the dragon came out bad ass. J.V. read more

All of the artists in this shop are amazing! Really friendly and talented! I personally go to Clint and highly recommend him,he does all my work, he is professional and honest just an amazing person! read more

A lot of respect for the tattoo artists here. They have standards about placement of your tattoo if they feel it can compromise your future, and they aren't afraid to speak up. Its nice to know they are more concerned about the person than their money. Christopher is very professional and keeps a sanitary work station (which is a must for me). I recommend them to anyone getting a tattoo, especially if its your first. We will be returning soon. read more
