After years of wanting to have my eyebrows microbladed, i finally got to have it done. Michelle…read morecame highly recommended by my hair stylist. It took a bit to get an appointment because she's that awesome and yes, that busy. So, plan ahead. Think about your activity and the weather. I was traveling in December and knew I didn't want to focus on new brow care while traveling. Summer wasn't good me for either because ....sun! I arrived on time and Michelle was waiting in the shop. A nice shop she shares with her husband who's also a local tattoo artist. Soon to be in her own new joint though... I've heard. First off is paperwork. It's fast, legal eagle stuff. She takes some time to explain the process. Then it's lie down and left the drawing begin. She drew out a shape she felt matched my face shape etc. She will show you so you can say yay or nay. I said yay. Then it's down to business. First a topical pain cream so you don't feel much. She goes over each brow three times with color. I did not see the tool used but it lays color onto brows, and into the skin. These are my layman's terms! It was pain free for me (except for the plucking part, which I find funny). You can hear skin pulling or scratching as she moves along. I felt very little pain during the process and even later in the day just a little pain was present. The end result was soooo worth the time and investment in myself. I go back soon for my 6 week touch up. People definitely noticed the change and many are asking for her information. Overall fantastic experience. If you are on the fence, pull the trigger you won't be sorry. Using Michelle's photo of my before and my after shots.

I can't say enough good things about True West Tattoo and especially about Lisa! My partner and I…read morecame in for a last-minute walk-in, and Lisa was so accommodating. This was my very first tattoo, and I was honestly really nervous, but Lisa made the whole experience so much easier. She was kind, compassionate, and patient with me, which I truly appreciated. On top of that, her line work is incredible--I feel so grateful that she's the one who did my very first tattoo. The shop itself is also amazing. I've been to other tattoo shops where the vibes felt off, but True West was the total opposite--friendly, professional, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. I left not only loving my tattoo but also feeling like I had such a positive first-time experience. I definitely recommend Lisa and True West to anyone looking for quality work in a great atmosphere!

I messaged the shop through Instagram about 3 hours prior to coming in to see if they had time to…read morefit me in, they said they did so I came through. Literally had zero plan. Just wanted to get something done. Looked through Woods' flash book and went with a little snake guy. He decided he wanted to draw it on, rather than using the flash, so it would fit the spot we were putting it in better. From start to finish it took a little over an hour. Woods was so nice and professional. The other two guys there were helping other customers as they came in. Also super nice and helpful. The shop is beautiful, with tons of natural lighting. This is by far one of the best shops I've been to in the many years I've been getting tattooed. 100% plan on making my way from the bay to get another tattoo from the guys here again.

Had to take it out today because I went to a different piercer to get a different bar and she told me I should take it out because of how crooked it was. The lady that pierced me was very nice and comforting but the quality and safety of what she did is not okay. And the tongue is a very serious thing to pierce and it should be taken seriously. I understand everyone makes mistakes but she shouldn't have let me walk out seeing how crooked it was. I've never left a review on a business before but this kind of thing is too important not to share. Everyone was very friendly so no issue on that.

Letters... no creative design , cut and paste .no Color , no shading and no difficulty. . One hour from start to finish. Most of that time being, him prepping and doing placement on his iPad. I almost puked when he told me how much it was, especially since I was paying cash I set the money down and walked out the door. I am in the Salon studio business. Even with him quoting me $150+ over the phone. I thought plus + what $? OK ,whatever ,I have to remind myself that the economy is different from a year ago from my last tattoo i.e. the cost. I am an overly generous tipper, so thankfully, I walked in with only a minimal amount of CASH , double the amount quoted because I DID intend on adding a few chochkies....not feeling bad , more feeling bamboozled, about giving him just a $25 tip. I felt bad for 30 seconds before I left. Eeeeesh Lordy this is a shot right to the kooter....lesson learned. Get a $$$ finished* amount ~ before the needle hits the skin. Dang it During the phone call I did ask him what his shop fee was and I was just told for the tattoo,I'm looking at $150 / $175 ... Call me I'll give you my dudes number in Encino, the most epic little shop with a rad vibes and of course, the tattoos are legendary I'm just gonna go on living my best life, but throw caution to the wind and get a solid price . Ps he wrapped my arm and plastic wrap. I usually get the saniderm or the Tagaderm since I am a stylist.
