Came here not expecting to walk out with ink but here it is. Fresh and forever. It was my bad, I came in ill prepared but luckily they were able to accommodate and worked out the kinks of my design. Took 2 hours, from start to finish. I've only been to.. 3 tattoo shops and this one is by far the best. But they were over a decade ago so sanitary standards have changed. The whole place is inside a cozy little home, converted into a designer place of business. I love it. Adorable. Jimi was there with his girlfriend, also adorable couple and very well mannered. Mine only had 3 colors, black, red and dots of white all in texts. Came out exactly like what I provided. Jimi has a very cool style, Japanese mixed with Chinese, but also versatile. Love his work on the wall. The response time on yelp is really fast. Either Jimi or Jude. And you'll get an appointment and seen as scheduled. If I had social media they'd be tagged. And so far my arm feels very normal and the colors are vibrant. read more

I found Jimmy's work through Instagram one day while scrolling through my discover feed. I'm not sure why, but I instantly fell in love with it. His work is very delicate and detailed. His style is very interesting, the shading is always soft and beautiful and he puts a lot of emphasis on different and varying line weights in order to make beautiful, clean linework that flows with every piece he does. He definitely has his own distinct art style. Every piece you request from Jimmy is a unique, custom depiction of what you want in his very own style. He takes lots of time to create and draw up something original for every one of his clients, and I love how he always puts his own artistic twist to your ideas. The piece I got from him was an Alolan Ninetales from Pokemon with red kitsune markings and a chrysanthemum flower. I was blown away by the design. It was very different from what I envisioned but not at all in a bad way at all. If anything I think what he came up was actually cooler, better and more unique than what I expected (and I already expected a lot seeing his work before since he is so good at what he does!) The piece took 2 sessions. Jimmy really takes his time to make the details of the piece look nice. Both times I flew from NorCal to SoCal and it was well worth it. He is also very light-handed so it was not very painful at all (only towards the end, since I'm not good at dealing with long sessions but that's a me-thing). He was very funny, and made me feel very comfortable and chill during both appointments. I would definitely recommend Jimmy for his artistic creativity, dedication and time creative custom work for all his clients! read more

Found Jimi through instagram and consulted about a sword tattoo, leaving the creative power to him. Tattoo took about an hour (4 inches~ on my abdomen). Looks great and would recommend him to others. Photo is about 1.5 weeks post session. Also, he is very attentive to DMs. Super nice guy and super cool! Very gentle as well. Support read more

I searched Yelp for a tattoo artist that offered Asian artistry and a location that was close to home. I found ING_Tattoo and submitted a consultation request. The response was quick and I was introduced to Jimi. I explained that I wanted to cover a previous tattoo with a profile of a samurai or shogun. Jimi offered a variety of genres and artistic styles. After a couple of days, Jimi presented a design that depicted everything that I had envisioned. I expressed my concerns regarding the amount of detail involved and Jimi reassured me that it would be done. Jimi advised me of the duration time along with any/all breaks that I may want. During the session, Jimi offered a comfortable chair (those massage type chairs) and refreshments. The studio and restroom were clean and well maintained. Once complete, Jimi provided the necessary protection and maintenance care for the healing process. In the end, I could not have been any more pleased with how my tattoo came out. The detail, I believe, is A-MAZING! Thank You Jimi, for realizing my vision and your artistic talents!! read more

I've been wanting a tattoo for a few years, but always a little scared on not liking how it looks as much. Earlier this year I decided to finally go for it, and Jimmy is the artist I decided to contact. With this being my first tattoo I really was extremely nervous along the way, but he was so nice and patient. My experience from discussing the design to the day of appointment was wonderful! He has an amazing sense of creativity and designs. His lines and shading are really delicate but also free and loose. I love the flows that his works present, it's so soothing to the eyes and mind. For the first tattoo, I decided to ask for something that means dearly to me with a hidden meaning behind. Tbh I was a little shy when I presented it to him during our meeting, but he was so understanding. I thought it sounded silly and cheesy, but he actually appreciate it. I'm glad I didn't shy out from telling him. He really took my ideas and likes and transformed them so well, I was really blown away by how gorgeous the resulting design looks. I was nervous sick before the appointment day, but the moment I see his art I knew I worried too much. After that the rest of the inking process was a breeze. I didn't feel too much pain expect with a few moment of shading process. Highly recommended him to anyone who's wanting a tattoo, I assure you can trust his creativity and skill, you won't regret! read more

I've never seen any tattoo artist like Jimmy, full of responsibilities to treat guests, and seriously taking his work. My tattoo was started years ago, during these times he keeps giving me the amendment for a better rendering effect. His creativity and understanding of beauty is not something that average tattoo artist possesses. Sometimes he would give up a lot of his time to discuss tattoo designs with customers, and he did not fool each piece of work. If you are looking for a tattoo artist dedicated and responsible for the guests, and have a sense of beauty, who will design tattoos from your own perspective, Jimmy is your best choice！ read more

I can't imagine any other tattoo artist executing this design with as much creativity and attention to detail. Jimmy is very patient and precise, and it shows in the amazing results. His line-work and shading are very intricate, creative, and well thought out--even after a week of looking at the tattoo I find myself noticing new details that add more life to the scene. He's the kind of artist who shares the customer's vision and knows what he's doing to the point where you can just sit back and trust him during every step of the process. read more

My first tattoo experiece with Jimi was amazing! He walked through my idea with me very patiently and showed me the designs which are definitely one of the best I've seen. He was able to communicate with me efficiently upon arrival and explained the whole process to me depite that I was very nervous since it was my first tattoo. I thought it was going to hurt a lot but I could barely feel a thing. He is a very friendly guy to work with too, even through it was a 4-hour-long process, him chatting with me made the time pass by really quick. The finished work was perfect, honestly I've been a fan of his artwork for a long time and this time he didn't cease to amaze me. I won't hesitate to ask him again if I need my second tattoo. Look no more, he's the one you're looking for! read more

Finding a tattoo artist to trust is challenging, but to find one as talented and reliable as Jimmy was pure luck. Jimmy takes his time throughout the entire tattoo process, it never feels rushed or half-assed. His line work is extremely precise, and his shading and designs are uniquely intricate. I trusted Jimmy to design 2 of my tattoos, and both ended up being my favorite and have been complimented on many times. I highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who likes brush stroke and fine line art, and to anyone who wants a tattoo in general:) read more

Let me just say that this artist is one of a kind for me. Other than having just the outline of a fox, this overall was my first real tatoo experience and it was a great one at that. Jimmy is very patient and kind even with all specific requests I had asked for. What really stood out to me the most was that he drew out my tattoo idea within our first consultation. A lot of other artists would've just sent a draft 2 to 3 days before the appointment date and you better hope to correct them and have it perfect, the way you want it, by the time of the appointment. You get what you paid for with Jimmy. Do I need to explain the amazing work he does because the picture can explain for itself. In love with this work. read more
