I went to Sacred Tattoo last week and had such a great experience with Brad. He was super personable, easy to talk to, and really listened to what I wanted. The tattoo came out exactly how I pictured it, and the quality of his work is seriously impressive. I'm really happy with it and would definitely recommend Brad to anyone looking for a great tattoo artist! Also the shop is like none I've ever been to! Super clean and has a completely different vibe than other tattoo shops. Relaxing and so peaceful. read more

I had a really great experience at Stay Sacred in Lake Forest. While we wete waiting for our car across the street, my wife and I were just sitting on the curb. The owner (I assume) came out to check if we were waiting for someone in their building. When we said we weren't, they came back with cold water and offered it to us. It was such a kind and unexpected gesture that really made our day! read more

Getting tattooed by Ashley was an awesome experience from start to finish. She was honest, punctual, and most of all funny, which made the whole process super comfortable. Ashley gave me great recommendations and guidance for my back piece, showing how much she really cares about bringing a vision to life. The vibes in Stay Sacared Studios were the perfect balance of professional yet chill and easygoing, making it feel welcoming the moment I walked in. Definitely a hidden gem in Lake Forest, SoCal--if you're looking for someone talented and down-to-earth, check out her IG @ashleygreenetattoos. read more

Jon is a true professional tattoo artist! I was a little bit apprehensive about getting 2 tattoos that I had selected. Jon explained the procedure and answered all of my question. I felt very comfortable & confident in his technical skill & expertise. Jon did not disappoint. I love my new ink and have already received several compliments! In addition, the price was very reasonable and certainly worth the money. The studio was very clean & professional in appearance. I highly recommend Jon & Stay Sacred Studios to anyone who is interested in getting a new tattoo! 5 Stars... read more

I searched IG for an artist that does the style I like, and I found Brad. I scheduled two full days back to back and made plans to fly across the country. I've seen and experienced the unprofessional and unreliable artists in the tattoo world, so naturally I was concerned about how this would all go down. Of course I had to make sure he knew I was coming! Thank goodness for the reassuring and prompt email responses! As soon as I walked in, I knew it was going to be an awesome day. This place is the brightest, most beautiful, most welcoming, cleanest tattoo shop I've ever walked into and I've seen a lot. I gave Brad my ideas and the freedom to make it flow. By the time our two days were up, I had damn near a full sleeve and was forever changed. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the whole experience. I'm kind of blown away with how dedicated Brad is to finish what he set out to do for the day. I mean this guy wasn't watching the clock and ready to kick me out when my 'time' was up. If I could sum up the whole experience, it's like the tattoo industry meets the service industry in a beautiful mash up at Stay Sacred Studios. The whole vibe is chill and not weird like most shops. Everyone here felt like a friend, it was actually fun. The search is over for a professional, talented artist who gets the job done. read more

From the moment you enter this space you can tell that love went into every last thing in its place. Everything is beyond beautiful and meticulously placed. The studio itself feels like a work of art which adds to the exemplary experience and compliments the amazingly talented artists that own and work here as well. My guy Brad is one incredibly talented artist and his work speaks for itself. I booked a full day session with him and couldn't have been more happy with the result. After a quick consultation he sketched my piece rather quickly and he got to work in no time. Although I believe he mainly does work in black and grey he was happy and willing to accommodate my one request of including a bunch of color in my piece. My only regret is not having the funds immediately available to book another full day session right then and there. I have a lot of ink on my body and I can easily say without a doubt this is my favorite piece and I truly feel like I'm walking around with a constant display of living art. I get compliments every single day. Will be back ASAP, and if you've been waiting to find the right artist or the right spot, you can put that to rest because it will not get any better than this. Thank you guys, and see you soon. read more

I came to John with a forearm piece that was ruined at another shop. I was so worried He wouldn't be willing to take me on because of how jacked it was. He worked with me from start to finish and gave me exactly what I was looking for from the beginning. Worked his magic on what I already had and I had him finish the rest of my arm. My only regret is not beginning my tattoo journey with John. Great guys, super chill and professional shop. Trust these guys and give them creative freedom and they will blow you away! read more

Jon is a very professional and talented artist. He has tattooed my wife and I extensively and each time we walk away with premier art and a great experience. The shop itself is clean, bright, and inspiring. The apprentices are on point in assisting both Brad and Jon. Being tattooed at Stay Sacred is the way forward. No more need to go to funky looking shops with artists who size you up, treat their clients as a mere cash transaction, or who speak inappropriately. Quit settling and get tattooed at Stay Sacred. The shop and the talent should be the model for tattoo studios here on out. read more
