    Had initially requested Reina but ended up being referred and getting this fantastic piece by Bryan. This studio is extremely clean, staff is super kind and professional. Pricing is great and I am definitely returning for more art. For those who experience anxiety, this shop should be your go to! I felt comfortable the entire time and everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Thank you so much to Bryan for making this happen and to Reina for getting back to me so quickly. I would personally recommend The Clever Hand to anyone who is looking for a tattoo!!!

    Visited a couple weeks ago with my wife for her newest tattoo. Super cool vibe. Comfortable and chill environment I've been on putting off getting inked. I'm one of the last in the family. Clever Hand's vibe and Reina (my wife's artist) helped me finally make the jump Submitted my artwork to Reina and she recommended me to Bryan (owner) for my work. Needless to say, I went a little aggressive for my first tattoo. Only realized that about 30 minutes in! Bryan got me through it Bryan is a true Professional. So good. He helped me perfect the final design on his iPad and then made it happen on me!!! I'm coming back for more. The Team at Clever Hand is second to none. Good People!

    I had such a great experience at the clever hand tattoo! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and clean, and the staff made me feel completely comfortable. My artist was Bryan and is super professional, listened closely to what I wanted, and brought my vision to life even better than I imagined. Not only is Bryan amazing all the staff are so nice!! He took his time with the details and made sure everything was perfect before we started. Whether you're getting your first tattoo or adding to your collection, I highly recommend this shop. I'll definitely be coming back for all my tattoos!!

    Reina is THAT girl!! I got my very first tattoo with her this past weekend and can confidently say I will be coming back for more. It was super easy to book a consultation with her and show her my idea. The studio itself is very clean and is very welcoming. Reina was extremely knowledgeable and kind when answering all my questions. Her consistent check-in's during the session made me feel comfortable and confident while getting my piece done! Overall, an amazing experience.

    Had been almost 10 years since my last tattoo when I decided to pick back up again. Got my knee tattooed by Reina and kept coming back for more! Honestly, it's a clean place and the crew there never makes it a dull moment. Timely communication regarding appointments and very open to suggestions. Always get compliments on my new tattoos. Will continue going back to desecrate (lol) my body there :) Thank you Reina and Clever hand!

    Reina is my GIRL, shes done handful of my tattoos and the quality of her work is insane. Shes so easy to work with and makes the time fun and creative. You can really feel the love and community they have in the shop it's a great vibe.

    This shop is exactly what I was looking for. It has great artist, a good vibe and it is super clean. I have been going to Bryan Gillott for years and when he started here I could not wait to set an appointment. We are working on a back piece and it is coming out amazing.

    Reina is an amazing tattoo artist! I've gotten majority of my tattoos from her. I love her quality of work and she always makes sure you're comfortable! 10/10, will keep returning to her plus the vibe of the shop is super chill and it's really nice in there!

    Gabe is your guy! He does great tattoos and helps turn your ideas into a solid unique piece. My gf and I have gone to him for majority of our ink and we've never been disappointed.

    First all, the bathrooms are spotless, and that is important to me. It's obvious they are cleaned often, have plenty of toilet paper. This shop is amazing. Gabe has been my tattoo artist for years and I've known Bryan even longer than that. I usually throw an idea at Gabe and be never fails to come up with an amazing idea, I'm confident enough in Gabe's work that I like to give him free reign with the design. Everyone in the shop is super nice. I love that they encourage each other. There is plenty of parking at this location, close to the freeway. I just had my last tat finished 2 hours ago and I am already planning my next one. They have great flash tattoo ideas on the wall for anyone wanting something already designed. The stations are spacious and not on top of each other. lol

    Got my first tattoo with Bryan and I couldn't be happier! The shop was very clean and everyone was so kind and welcoming. I 100% recommend and I'll definitely be back again!

    My sister doesn't have Yelp, so I am posting this on her behalf. She was visiting us from out of town and she and my wife had decided to get tattoos together. Her tattoo came out awesome. She said Gabe designed it and made last minute changes. She loves it.

    Bottom is the old tattoo - top is the tattoo Mike did to fix it.
    Nicole N.

    Amazing amazing amazing work! Mike is amazing. My husbands tattoo is amazing! Did I mention amazing! Hubby said Mike has a gentle hand. But he isn't afraid to pack the black. Also it didn't have that slimey plasma stuff that tattoos have when you remove the plastic wrap. After about 4 hours we removed the plastic wrap and washed it with dial soap, when I went to dry it off no ink leaked onto the paper towel. In all the tattoos we've had combined I've never seen ink not come off on a paper towel the first time you wash it. Like it so much went 4 days later and put another deposit down for another tattoo. You know someone is a good artist when they are booking 3-4 months out. Again thank you Mike, amazing!

She was kind enough to give me an appointment only a couple days after I filled out the request form. Vanessa is amazing at what she does and is such a professional. She works efficiently and I feel she truly capture the essence of our little girl. She did such a good job with her that I had her do one of my first boy who passed away 13 years ago. I had always meant to do it, but just let life get in the way. I was a little picky about placement but she dealt with me with absolute grace and patience. I was blown away by her work of my little girl and just as impressed with her work of my boy. Thank you Vanessa! No words can truly describe how appreciative I am of how she handled my tattoos. ‍

I was really nervous the first time, I waited ages because I was so in my head about it; but there was no judgement or attitude or anything. Vanessa was patient and professional.

One thing I always appreciate about here is how friendly, caring, and informative everyone is. Whether I have questions about anatomy or aftercare, they always explain everything clearly and never make me feel rushed or confused. And honestly, the piercing process is always way faster and smoother than I expect. I'll mentally prepare for it to hurt and then suddenly they're like "all done!" and I'm sitting there like "oh, that wasn't bad at all" haha. That's also why all my cartilage piercings (3 helix's, 2 tragus's, conch, daith, and rook) have been done here!

Most importantly they were able to do the piercings I wanted the same day unlike the other shops I called. When I arrived, the store was empty, very clean and quaint. Just the two workers opening the store for the day. I filled out the consent form and about 10 minutes later I was called to the back by Melissa who measured my existing piercings to mark them on my other ear. Very happy with her attention to detail. Everything seemed to be sanitized properly as well, at least to my untrained eyes. She went ahead with the lobe piercings after letting me see the spots she marked using a handheld mirror and they turned out great. I had the same experience with the septum as well. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience here at Mint Condition and Melissa's work, and will always consider this place first when I'm ready to get my next piercings!

    Even though I made an appointment, I still ended up waiting, and walk‑in wait times at this studio…read morecan be long -- usually around 45 minutes before you're called, even on a slower day. Unfortunately, the wait wasn't the only issue during my first visit. When I finally got in, the interaction with one of the staff members felt uncomfortable. I asked a simple, genuine question about whether piercings on each side have any meaning. He said he didn't know, which was perfectly fine, but the way he responded afterward left me wondering if he was being sarcastic or mocking me. It felt unnecessary, unprofessional, and honestly made me hesitant to return. These days it seems like you can't ask anything without someone turning it into something political, and that's not what I came in for. I did go back for a second visit, and that experience was completely different -- much more easygoing. I guess it really just depends on who you get. Still, that first impression was annoying enough that I've never looked back since. If you decide to visit, I recommend coming with a friend, especially if it's your first time. Having someone with you can help avoid misunderstandings, give you clarity, and make the whole experience feel more comfortable and supported.

They really make sure to listen to exactly what you want, check the area to make sure they can actually give you what you want, and provide recommendations as you choose out your jewelry which is well-priced. My piercers have also been very gentle and take cleanliness seriously--everything is very sterile from the moment you enter the building to the piercing room. I plan to get my 5th piercing here in about a month once I come back in to downsize my 4th. Please consider coming here if you're looking to get pierced yourself or if you have a family member wanting to get something new.
