This is my second or third time at Whittier Tattoo and they get me right every time. So many skilled artists and the whole place is a vibe. Thomas did my tattoo, his line work was exceptional. I got a smiley face. Not everybody can tattoo a perfect circle, but he did exactly that. His gun was super quiet, his hand was light, and he finished in maybe 10-15 minutes (and that's probably me exaggerating). I loved that all his accessories were pink and smelled good. He was a whole vibe. All three of my friends got tattoos too, each by different artists. And honestly... we're already planning to go back next week. All of our tattoos were between $60-$80 each. read more

Chiko is an amazing tattoo artist. It was a while ago but I went as a walk in on Monday after the Friday 13th deals. I was still able to get the price set for Friday the 13th deals. They have two different shops. Just across the street from the main shop. They made me felt welcoming. Great music choice. I went into the main shop and they sent me into the 2nd shop to get tatted right away. Chiko was amazing. He helped me figure out the placement and size I was comfortable with. He was very patient and gave me advice. Will definitely be going back to him if I ever want to get something else tattooed. read more

Val is amazing and helpful So I had got my nipple piercing done at another place and I started to experience issues around the nipple because of bad jewelry quality. I came here to ask for another piercers advice and she helped me out SO much. She switched me to titanium and gave me some advice about what else could be the issue. Few days later my nipple went back to normal really do recommend coming here. Everyone is very welcoming and Val helped me feel super comfortable with no judgment at all :) read more

Called beforehand to see if they were still doing piercings, said yes they were till closing, show up and put our names down and then get told they just left. Really disappointing read more

Went for their special flash Sunday this weekend and it was all over the place and disappointing. Really scattered and unorganized. It also took around 3-4 hours before we even got seen because most of the artist left the building to get tacos and didn't even tell anyone. Me and my group didn't even get to have tacos or enjoy the music outside because they wanted everyone signed in to stay in the building. Like can you believe the hypocrisy?? My name was on the list and apparently someone took my spot because they only took first names, no numbers no last names. Insane. The vibes were definitely hectic and rushed for the whole experience after having to wait so long. But the only upside was when I finally received an artist, Megan, she was super personable and kind. She made my tattoo exact way I wanted and was super fast with it. The only complaint I have from her experience was she never made me sign a waiver like I saw everyone else in the whole shop do. So kinda a red flag for the shop? I also realized after she was done was that she never sanitized the area where I got my tattoo done before starting. So keep that in mind when you go there, they might skip on steps to rush your process, so watch out. Nonetheless thank you to Megan for my awesome tattoo. But would never come back, really bad experience. read more

It is unfortunate to have to write a review but after numerous attempts to contact the artist so that he can touch up the tattoo for the simple fact that it was not done correctly, a lot of the ink did not stay on the skin after it healed you can definitely see a lot of the shading part was done rushed or incorrect and the letters of the tattoo are not correctly outline. I have attempted to reach out to the artist and have been ignored numerous times, honestly do not recommend this place if this is how they treat customers, its very inconsiderate. please take your money elsewhere, Artist @Tattoobenny_rambo. read more

I've been told not to go to this shop by numerous people, but decided to give it a chance since they were one of the only shops that did piercings in Whittier. There was absolutely no sense of urgency from anyone who worked there. Customer service was lacking & wait times are ridiculous with no sort of updates on what's going on or how much longer you'll have to wait. My sister left a review on Google after we didn't get the service that we planned to get there due to the long wait time & the owner must have went through her friends list on IG or something because he claimed she knew someone who used to work there LMAO. Grown men lurking through people's social media after getting a less than satisfactory review ... interesting take your money elsewhere. read more

So.. this is my second time.. and last time ‍ Ended up paying 100$ because artist said that the flash on iG post was not 40$ and referred me to '40$ flash binder' but I decided to go with my first choice even if I had to pay more.. I hate making reviews but such a not amazing experience - also first time bleeding from tattoo - tattoo is a little wonky read more

LOL at all the other reviews. Hmm just seems like people want to complain about time when it comes to this locations flash sales tattoo. I'm just going to say that if you go to any place that does flash sale tattoos, it's always going to be a wait. Same thing you would expect at any other place during Friday the 13th, long waits. Anyways... before I read all those bad reviews. I want to give a huge shout out to Izzy here who did mine and my mom's tattoo. We got them both done with Izzy on two separate occasions and I just absolutely love the outcome of it. The tattoo my mom and I got were different but very sentimental to us and we wanted to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. And Izzy was definitely a trooper. He was kind and patient and always willing to make changes for us in real-time. Meaning, we sent him an idea of what we wanted but when we showed up, there were specific changes we needed before getting the tattoo done. And he was more than accommodating to make those changes for us. His prices were fair and the details on the tattoos is what made it all come together. I got a piece with my late father's writing and it was important to me for his writing be transitioned properly. And that it was I got. My sister even said it came out way better than she expected. lol and the cherry on top of it all was the kind words that Izzy had left me with afterwards. He told me he hoped that mine and my mom's tattoos offered us some peace in his passing because he knew how much he loved us by the way we talked about him. And those words alone did offer me a sense of comfort. So thank you again Izzy. I hope to come back and receive more work from you in the future. read more

Zero quality , poor professionalism, non-chill Aggro vibes. Better off getting a tattoo at in your basement by an apprentice.

Follow on Instagram and it says $50 flash sale. So I go thinking I can get it for $50. Put my name down on the waiting list, waited 2 hours, meet my tattoo artist but turns out a little tattoo is $100... why do you advertise on social media wrong prices?? And when I put my name on the list they wouldn't confirm the price with me because apparently it's different depending on whatever artist you get. Then I decide to go through with it because I already waited. My guy was annoyed that I didn't like the placement of it so I wanted to move it higher on my leg and I can feel the tension from him. Didn't know it was such an inconvenience to make sure something on my body for the rest of my life was in the right place. Then, the final straw was my tattoo was so mediocre. Flowers were messed up, petals were missing, straight lines were crooked. Really bummed about this one but it is what it is, I had red flags and decided to go through with it. Would never recommend and would never go back read more

My friend went to to get a tattoo. Shady was the tattoo artist he consulted with first. My friend asked if he could do a portrait lion and showed him a picture of exactly what he wanted. Shady convinced my friend that he would be able to do it. My friend agreed to let Shady replicate the the tattoo on his hand. My friend paid $400 plus dollars up front . What my fried received was a very sad cartoon clown lion, that looked like something a four year old would draw. My friend was not happy at all, especially for how much he paid. Shady told him to put some Neosporin on it and let heal. Unfortunately that does not fix crappy work. Tried to set up an appointment to fix Shady's poor excuse of a portrait. Shady ignored my friends texts. When my friend did get a hold of Shady, he was dismissive and just down right rude. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

I came in on a Saturday morning during their September Horror Flash Special. We were a group of 4 and we were greeted and helped right away. All four of us are fairly tattooed and were looking to add cute little ghosts to our collection. Each one of us had a great experience and our artists were fast and friendly. My artist, Luis, was really friendly and he gave me exactly what I wanted. His lines are clean and I could tell that he really cared about making it perfect. I would definitely come back and recommend this shop. read more

My sister and I came to get matching tattoos and we had such a great experience. We had an idea in mind and the artists brought it to life with ease. The wait wasn't long and it was nice to come up with a tattoo that we all loved. The place had such a cool vibe and it was a lot to see. Which helped when we started getting out tattoos lol. Will definitely be back! read more

Don't go here! We went for a flash sale tattoo & my first red flag should have been none of the tattoos were actually priced like they said ($40) but I did want a little bigger so whatever, I paid $100 (not including tip) & not even 2 months later, all my ink is falling out. I am aware of this spot being sensitive and made sure so take extra care of it. I think the issue is most of everyone there are apprentices although I was not told that prior which I think it's pretty important to know. I'll be getting it fixed somewhere else. read more

We were walk ins for their February flash sale. Not sure why so many negative reviews but my experience went well. The wait was not long and we were done within an hour of being there. Our tattoo artists were amazing and welcoming, even the front staff as well. The vibe was good too, and we will definitely be going back for more tattoos. read more

Came in to get a flash sale tattoo. Showed Denise the tattoo I wanted she had me take a seat. Came with my sister, she is getting her tattoo done and People are coming in getting tatted and leaving. I had to ask her what happened and she completely forgot about the fact that I wanted a tattoo. I sat there for 2 hours waiting for anyone to approach me. I will never come again. This place is highly unprofessional read more

Don't go to Mario! he's so lazy. On top of that, cant come up with an agreement with out him getting bothered if you tell him you're not like g the out come of the tattoo. Remember ya'll, tattoos are for life and you're not going to like it if it comes out unpleasant. I really wanted to give him a chance but the moment i stated that there was something off about the pattern he was bothered. Cant work with someone like that. I ended up finding another tattoo artist who is patient and understanding of my needs and brought my tattoo back to life.. Mario, you need to change that negative attitude smh. customer service bro read more

I drove an hour in traffic to this place after work, excited to get tattooed, just to end up disappointed and frustrated 4 hours later when I walked out without one. My name was written down as soon as I arrived and even got checked up on twice. Once was to get down my tattoo idea and location. It was pretty busy so I knew I had to wait a while before getting called by an artist to get started. But instead got ignored the rest of the night till almost midnight! At the end I was told someone wrote down their name but didn't call me. The whole time after they took down my tattoo idea I thought an artist was working on the stencil. They need to be more aware and attentive of their customers. Poor customer service. 4 hours of my time wasted that I won't get back! read more

Me and my wife went to this shop to get a tattoo got seen by a male artist at 12:00 midnight, my wife express what she wanted a small name with 4 letters 2 different fonts that are on there flash, he said got it let me work on it came back 30 mins to 45 mins just show her 3 sizes that look exactly same .Then we said the M is a little to big he like let me make it smaller 1 am pass 1:30 am pass and 1:40 am and i didn't see the artist at all at the shop ! we waited patiently all night and decided to leave did no one let us know if he left or nothing didn't ask we were okay nothing i highly recommend they have a set closing time cause not fair for ur artists work long hours and then bail on clients without letting them know if you guys do go to this shop expect to wait long hours ! crazy thing wen we went wasn't even busy ! we were the only ones waiting besides another girl that was sent to the other shop! read more

I recommend this place if anyone wants to be ignored for 2 hours, recorded for no reason/without consent, forgotten about while your artist walks out the door nowhere to be found, overcharged and lied to about a 50$ flash (tried to charge me 100$ for a 2 inch flash), and have your seat taken from you so they can go smoke on it outside. Not sure how y'all are still in business, but I'm so relieved that I walked out. read more

A hit and miss. I know it was friday the 13th but Stevo man you should not be drinking so heavily and tattooing, you messed up so many people's tattoos. And the pricing is super inconsistent, lack of communication. Don't get tattooed by Charlie Velez, he will over charge you while the other tattooers were amazing and reasonably priced. Just do your research on the artists as always before going to any shop. read more

I went in because I saw ads on Instagram for $60 flash (bangers) tattoos, but when I went in the shop I didn't love anything on the flash sheets. I showed my artist a simple picture of a cowboy boot and he drew one up by hand and it was exactly what I was looking for. He quoted me $80 which was more than the usual flash but the tattoo came out exactly as I was envisioning and I'm stoked! Xavier Martinez was my artist read more

We waited for over an hour for the tattoo artist to show up. When he finally showed up he took over an hour to draw the stencil. Since our daughter is 18 the stupid little man that calls himself the shop manager kicked us out of the shop because guests are not allowed, however they didnt have an issue with us waiting inside while their tattoo artist took an eternity to draw a tiny picture of the sun and moon. This shop is REDICULOUS. I would avoid this shop at all cost. There are many tattoo shops in the area. This tattoo shop is mediocre at best read more
