Perfect Tattoo from Flanders
Tim S.

Thank you so much to Flanders from Secret Kingdom. He worked with me to get a tattoo that I have been wanting to get for years. He was great! He spent time explaining everything to me and made me feel right at ease. The tattoo itself took about 3 1/2 hours and he had a great rapport throughout. Flanders is the one that I will go back to again and I highly recommend that you come to or call Secret Kingdom and Flanders for your tattoos. Thank you Flanders!

Not only is the studio badass but the artists are are as well. Good people and good vibes in there! Jake Cron was my artist and he did a badass job! Couldn't be happier with the way my tattoo turned out. He's a good dude and a better artist, I will definitely be recommending him and his studio to others and if you see this I suggest you get your next tattoo here!

Twenty years ago, I made a promise that if the Philadelphia Eagles ever won the Super Bowl , I would get an Eagles tattoo. I have been a loyal fan of the team for 35 plus years, and honestly thought I would never see the day. Guess what, the Eagles did it this year, and my friends and family held me accountable. Needless to say, I wasn't exactly prepared to call a tattoo shop, make an appointment , and actually go through with it. A friend of mine showed me some of Kevin's work on Instagram, and recommended that I check things out for myself. I called Kevin the next day, and ask if I can come in to talk to him about what I envisioned. I was really nervous when I walked in. Wait- is that a needle? Kevin had a calm confidence about him that I found comforting. Any fears that I had walking in quickly vanished after talking to Kevin. As a result, I booked my appontment for Valentine's Day, and was actually starting to look forward to it. I showed up for my appointment eager to show my friends and family that I was a die hard Eagles fan , and that I could endure any pain for the love of my team. And then this happened...... Once the needle hit my skin, I knew I was in for a long evening! Holy S**t! I read online that a tattoo on the calf was supposed to be relatively painless. What? People actually like getting tattoos? Who in the hell thought this was a good idea? I am not ashamed to admit it, I was flopping around like a fish out of water. Poor Kevin! He had to wrestle my right leg while trying to maintain a steady hand to work on my left leg. I swear I almost kicked him in the face a few times. Truth be told, I may have shed a tear or two , and am pretty sure I cussed him out the entire time. Sorry about that Kevin! Since it has been almost a month since i got my first (and only) tattoo, I have decided to forgive Kevin -Haha. I mean it wasn't his fault. I am the one who opened my mouth and promised "out loud" that I would get an Eagles tattoo if they ever won the Superbowl. The pain is still too fresh in my mind to ever get another tattoo. However, if I decide to do this again, you better believe I will come in to see Kevin at Secret Kingdom Tattoo.

Was originally scheduled at Sacred Owl tattoo, drove an hour from my home to make the appointment only to find that the tattoo artist no showed us. Very unprofessional. This tattoo was a memorial for my older sister who had recently passed away, and my little sister and I were getting it done on her birthday in honor of her. I called Secret Kingdom, and the owner answered the phone and got us in within the hour. He was patient, helpful, and listened to all of our ideas to come up with the perfect piece. I will be going here for future work and referring people as well. This is how you run a business and treat people. Other shops should take notes.

I've had 3 tattoos done by Kevin (2 are pictured). He is such a great artist. He's fast and does super clean work. I always get so many compliments on them and how great the line work is. I have a lot more work to do in my arm and I can't wait to get back in.

So originally I was planning on getting a tattoo at some parlor in Nevada city, due to inclement weather, Their power went out and that didn't end up happening. I also felt as if that shop charged out of the @$$ anyways. (Possibly a sign to go somewhere else) So I DM'd Jake on instagram, he was very good at responding quickly, I sent him a photo of the design that I was looking at, he got me in as soon as he could, and he absolutely killed it for sure. Not to mention, Pricing is unbeatable at this shop. Hands down the best shop in Northern California. If I could rate higher then 5 stars, I definitely would.

I love this place, Flanders who works in this shop did a phenomenal job, not only did he do a great job but the prices here are very reasonable. I would highly recommend that if you're looking for a great place go in and check him out. He is an extremely great artist and went above and beyond what I asked for. Thank you so much for the time and detail that you put into my tattoo.

Kevin is absolutely amazing. He has done three of my five tattoos, and one he did a partial cover. I have been going to him for 7 years and I would not let anyone else give me a tattoo. Not to say the others at the shop aren't awesome but Kevin is my tat guy. His line work is amazing and how he can put everything you want together in such a beautiful way...its just...crazy! Since I am not creative, I tell him what I want and he lets his mind go to work. If something won't work, he will tell you. If you decide to do it... thats on you or he won't do it! I just got a sleeve(will be adding to it ) and I will get another on my other arm, but he knew how much I had saved for it and made it happen. No pressure. Not just his artwork but his personality is why I recommend him to everyone I know. My opinion, he is The best!!!!!!!!

I popped in here real quick looking to pick up some jewelery since I lost mine. I pulled up my Yelp…read moreapp and looked for a body jeweler shop. Raven's came up! Now, I have been up and down all over Fairway Drive back in the day.. so this shop was new to me. When I first walked in... I had to pick my jaw up of their floor. This has got to be the most beautiful tattoo/body piercing shop I have ever been to. If you are a plant lover, your going to be in heaven! Find something to pierce or tattoo just so you can enjoy the feng shui space they have created. I felt peaceful and with harmony.. I first spoke to Jay. Rad dude! He was tattooing an octopus when I walked in. Then I met Tessa. She helped me find my jewelery and even installed it for me to help me get on my way faster. While here, I got to meet Athena, who's tattoos I have seen in Instagram before coming here, so it was very cool to meet someone I have only seen online. I will be back to pierce something or to get a tattoo by Jay, lol. See you guys soon!

First off, this has to be the cleanest shop I've ever been in. Every inch of that place was…read morehygienic. From the moment we walked in, staff were super friendly and eager to help out. I also noticed them taking special care to consult with and guide folks who were new to tattoos without coming across as condescending, which was really awesome. A huge shout out to Travis. He was super friendly and communicative and really collaborated with me to nail down a design I loved. He executed the tattoo to perfection as well and added a bunch of details that made my memorial tattoo really sing. He even took the time after I left to message me with some aftercare tips. I can't recommend Travis enough.

I've lived 5 minutes from this place for nearly 10 years and wish I had started way sooner - I…read moredon't know why I hesitated for so long - just pure laziness. Which is so silly because making the appointment is so easy through their website. I've now had 5 total piercings at DV8 over the course of the last year and a half on my ear curation journey. All are healing well and I'm very happy with the placements.  Keep in mind the jewelry is not included in the piercing fee, and it can add up quick if you're a gold lover. But if you're getting subsequent piercings, they allow you to bring in any previous jewelry that you've already purchased from them to use for future piercings. Just keep in mind that your appointment may take a little longer because they will need to sanitize the jewelry. I'm most impressed with the detailed aftercare instructions. I was horrified by the lack of instructions my sister received after being pierced at a VERY POPULAR piercing place in Berkely on Telegraph Ave (you know the place). She came with me to one of my appointments at DV8 and said, wow, they didn't tell me ANY of that stuff at the other place. And I was like, I KNOW - that's why I only come to DV8. They are also certified by the Association of Professional Piercers, so I feel confident that everything they do is safe and sanitary.

Friendly staff and clean environment. However, pricing on their website was very deceptive. I got…read moremy earlobes pierced, which was listed as $25. This turned out to be $25 per ear, which does NOT include the price of jewelry. I picked some of the simplest studs they offered, and those plus the backing came out to an additional $86. We were told they would not use outside jewelry- which is fine, but with prices like these? Ouch!! Overall quality was acceptable, but $136 before tax and tip is much too high for a basic piercing.

Fast forward to Christmas Eve, I text her and said, "Let's go the day after Christmas. No excuses." I searched for a tattoo shop with good reviews and found Lucky Buddha Tattoo. Since it was Christmas Eve night, I couldn't get ahold of anyone (understandably), so we decided to just try our luck the next day. The shop is located off San Juan and Madison, which can be a busy area, but there's parking right out front... huge win. When we walked in, we were greeted by their apprentice, Sophia, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming. We explained what we wanted and hoped we could get it done that day. Our original idea was to place the tattoo on the palm area, but Sophia was very transparent about how ink usually doesn't hold well there. She suggested an alternative placement that still worked perfectly with our vision. After discussing the price, we decided to go for it. Luckily, she had availability right then and there. She was so patient, making every tweak and edit we asked for without hesitation or attitude Absolute gem. While she was designing, we hung out up front and got some unexpected puppy therapy! their sweet pit bull wandered over and decided my friend was her chosen human. She jumped right into her lap and chilled, which was especially adorable since my friend is normally scared of big dogs. Instant icebreaker. The entire vibe of the shop was warm, friendly, and chill. The owner even came out and chatted with us for a bit, which just added to the good energy. Once we finalized the design, Sophia got to work. She had a gentle hand, and each tattoo only took about 20 minutes. We walked out beyond happy. the tattoos came out perfect, and the experience was even better. Thank you Sophia, for your awesome work! I'll definitely be coming back for my next one.

I absolutely adore my tattoo from my artist (Ashley). She did such a wonderful job and I recommend…read moreif you ever need a tattoo to go try out Lucky BuddhaTattoo the facility is very clean very welcoming. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel at home. Great prices.

It's also a lot closer than the other shop I was used to going to. Fallen Angel is a tattoo shop and the set up inside is gorgeous. I liked how the tattoo stations were set up facing the windows and the clients getting tattoos had movies playing for a nice distraction. There didn't seem like much room, but maybe it was (since I'm not the expert, lol). Everyone looked comfortable! We met Shannon! She walked out with gorgeous long purple & blue hair and a big smile. I instantly loved her personality! After introductions, she went to go sanitize the room so we could all get pierced. One by one and we watched each other all get pierced, Shannon took her time with each of us. We all did something different. My daughter got a floating halo, her grandmother got a flat, I think?? I got the conch. Right before Shannon pierced us, she offered to count down if we wanted. I needed a count down, lol! How funny is my daughter that as I decided on the conch, she whispers the word "ouch" to me before I was pierced, lol! Yeah it hurt, but it also felt great! Shannon was quick with it and handled my ear worth care. Shannon also explain to each of us the process of keeping it clean daily, a few times a day with saline. We all took it like Champs! I am super happy with mine! This is definitely my go-to shop to get pierced from now on!
