The people I was originally speaking to seemed very engaging and personable. Unfortunately the artist I originally wanted to work with was not available and I was referred to someone else. Unfortunately it was not a good experience at all... artist was late, not prepared and I sat there for an hour before engaging in conversation with him. He also didn't know how to get the verbiage I wanted transferred over correctly and when the stencil was placed he had to redo it again. He also seemed very distracted- I was planning on getting a tattoo on my spine so I wanted to make sure it would look good. Place has a lot of great artist! And the energy seemed great. My artist might have been newer or not comfortable with the tattoo I was going to get. I was there for 2.5 hours and only got to placing the stencil on my back- I ended up having to leave because I had an event to be at. read more

Even though the pieces were small, Ken was happy to help - with a HUGE smile on his face. Ken is truly amazing and I would recommend going to him! He was VERY appreciative too.

Went to this place 3 days ago because the usual place I go to was closed and it was late at night. Memo repierced my helix and pierced my conch. I was excited. Now I expected to bleed but not that much. I don't know how good a tattoo artist he is but he's not very good/smooth with piercings. He has a heavy hand. He asked me if I wanted a hoop for my helix and I've been told before that you should start with studs so it doesn't get irritated with all the movement so I told him that and he's like yeah you're right. Next red flag, guy was in a hurry. Should not have done it cuz I could see he was busy and he told me so. Now, I just came back from my regular piercer and he replaced my conch with a longer stud because for the past 3 days my ear has been throbbing and swelling. I would not go to this guy for a piercing. Idk what's standard but I always sign a consent form before piercing and maybe this place doesn't have one? Anyway, maybe he's a good tattoo artist but he doesn't seem to know piercing very well. read more

Thank you to Critical Strike Mike at Wildlife Tattoo! I'd waited so long to get my nose pierced. Just wasn't the right timing or person to do it. A friend at work had recently got hers pierced and told me about how great her experience was. She said (and I'm paraphrasing), "Mike walked me through the entire process, was patient, sanitary and clean. I'm so happy." She sent me his card and sure enough, I schedule an appointment. Everything she said was true! Mike goes above and beyond. He's professional and reasonably priced. I even contacted him a few times since. I'd snagged it, developed a bump and he walked me through the process of healing it. Recently went in again to the shop to have him install a retainer for a surgery I'll be having soon. To top it off, he pierced my mom's nose too haha. Sometimes, you come across people who are really good at what they do and it shows; Mike is one of them. It's not just about the piercing, it's about the experience. Thanks again . His IG: @CriticalStrikeMike. read more

I've had a couple of piercings done here over the past few years, and this shop has always been so great to me! Seriously, I am a HUGE baby about needles. It takes me at least 15 minutes to stop squirming and carrying on. Yet, every time, I finally get it done and the first words out of my mouth are "Wow, that wasn't even bad..." I usually just call ahead to let them know I'm coming. Appointments and walk-ins are accepted, as long as the piercer is there. Cee Los and his staff are accommodating and prices are fair. Note that they don't usually open until 1pm, though, and then close at 10pm. (Sundays are noon to 7pm). I'm not quite ready for a tattoo, but I'll definitely come here when I am. Hopefully, by then, I'll have toughened up a bit... :) Also, the shop is nicely decorated with painted artwork and there's adequate parking in the lot. read more

So I called around a couple places and wanted a very simple heart outline tattoo on my wrist. A lot of places that I called had a minimum of $100 and I honestly didn't want to spend that much. I called Wildlife Tattoo and the person that I spoke to on the phone was so nice and so helpful. I unfortunately didn't get their name. I made an appointment with Greg for around 5-5:30 PM on Sunday. When I showed up for my appointment, I parked right in front of the shop. Greg wasn't around but I ran into Randy who was extremely nice and helpful and told me to come on in. He took care of my tattoo right away. I showed him what I wanted, I was super nervous, but Randy made me feel very comfortable and worked with me to get me the exact tattoo dimensions that I wanted. Another worker, Alex, came around and gave me moral support since this was my first tattoo and they were both cracking jokes with me, which made me feel very at ease. My tattoo took two very quick minutes. I have to say, tattoos hurt! But the pain didn't last long. They give you after-care ointment and tell you how to take care of your new art. I was in an out of there in 15 minutes. Thier interior is super nice and they just rennovated their offices. Randy has a cool private space in the back so I felt very special when I got my tattoo. They take credit card and cash so the transaction was nice and easy and they gave me a great deal for a good price. I came out of here feeling amazing and so happy that I finally got the tattoo that I've been DYING for!! Definitely recommend this place. They make you feel so comfortable and it was really fun coming here and crossing this off my bucket list. I'm very happy that Wildlife Tattoo could be a part of that. read more

This is a great tattoo spot the line work shading and coloring is on perfection . I used to pay twice as much money for a tattoo artist that thought she was the best and needed to overcharge. her name is Alyssa and works at Queens of Needles. I would never recommend her she overshades everything and always messes up my tattoos she will not fix it on the same session she wants me to come back for another time when she could've just fixed what she needed to fix in five minutes. The tattoo artist that I recommend is Dylan Vanyo he is a great tattoo artist who has done five outstanding tattoos within a a few days time. His Instagram is:@DVIANT_ART. 747-206-6959. The shop is called wildlife tattoo. I'm recommending all my friends and people who ask about my tattoos to Dylan for sure. read more

In February 2026, my husband Rob passed unexpectedly, one month before we would have celebrated 49…read moreyears together. I have been in shock, my sleep is sporadic, and grief has consumed me. Then, two weeks ago, I woke up from a dream in which Rob's name was being tattooed on my arm. I knew immediately that I needed a memorial tattoo. With Rob's 79th birthday approaching--my first without him since he turned 30--I was dreading it. Yet somehow, I knew I needed to receive the tattoo on that day. In my dream, Rob's name was written in English, but I wanted his name and my message to remain private--cryptic. Our son suggested Sanskrit for the text because Rob felt honored and privileged to spend several years in Mumbai teaching the Method to drama and film students in Bollywood. Sanskrit! An ancient language of India, considered one of the oldest languages in the world. Perfect! Then I found artist Joon Thomas, an expert in calligraphy from around the world. Using Devanagari script for the Sanskrit, he translated, designed, and penned two tattoos for me--one featuring Rob's name and the other bearing a message. I was overcome with joy when I first saw Joon's exquisite calligraphy! But then came the challenge of finding the perfect tattoo artist to bring it to life. With so many talented artists in Los Angeles, I turned to AI for help finding someone with experience working with non-Latin scripts. It led me to Cacho, whose fine-line precision matched what I was looking for above all else. And then--kismet. Cacho had an opening on Rob's birthday! The moment Cacho welcomed me into his studio, my pre-tattoo anxiety dissolved. I was immediately struck by his warmth and by the genuine appreciation he had for Joon's calligraphy. Collaboration is clearly a priority for Cacho, and his patience is astounding. I asked him repeatedly to adjust the sizes and reposition the images until everything felt exactly right, and he never once made me feel rushed. Having Cacho tattoo my Sanskrit text was a spiritual experience. I was entranced by his steady hand as he brought my words to life on my inner forearms. He captured every nuance of the calligraphy with extraordinarily delicate, precise strokes. I floated out of Cacho's studio. I am mesmerized by these delicate works of art on my arms--timeless expressions of my heart and proclamations of my eternal love for my soulmate. Cacho took something deeply personal and translated it into art that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. He inked it flawlessly, delicately, and indelibly. I could not have entrusted Rob's memory to a more gifted and sensitive artist.

Cacho is an artist of the highest caliber. He was able to not only understand the chaos in my…read morebrain, but decipher my abstract thoughts and ideas into a beautiful piece of art. What he created has surpassed any of my hopes, dreams, and expectations for a tattoo. I am absolutely in love with his piece. Cacho took the time to really understand what I wanted, and why I wanted it that way, offering his help and ideas as needed, and never once made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. He is a true artist and master of his craft - anyone considering getting one of his pieces should not hesitate to do so!

im honestly struggling to find words big enough for how incredible my experience was at Wildlife Tattoo. From the second I walked in the vibe was just immaculate, clean, and very welcoming. The shop itself is stunning it has some sick art there on the walls. They even have a sick ass playlist that made me wish my session lasted longer. The Owner CEE LOS is hands down one of the most genuine talented artist I've ever met he's patient n understanding when it comes to his work. he was able to take the idea I had in my head and make it become a reality he's done this over and over again turning my arm into something amazing. I trust his process I've had all my work done here n I've never been disappointed. All my work is high quality clean art good lines very nice. what made this place different to me was how much they really care and try to help you. they give you there opinions on placement and make sure that it is perfect for you. there very friendly at WIldlife tattoo and very organized n clean. if your looking to get some ink done I highly recommend booking a appointment at Wildlife tattoo. I already have my next appointment booked I'm so satisfied with his work I wont let anyone else even tattoo me. they have a loyal lifetime customer from me read more

One of my friends knows Diana. My best friend and I decided to go check out the shop one day to speak with her. We told her what we wanted (basic scripts) and she said she was available the next day for us to get them done! I was ecstatic because I had been wanting this piece done for almost 2 years. The next day, my best friend (who decided he wasn't going to get his done) and I went to see what Diana had drawn up. Both pieces were written beautifully and so clean! Needless to say my best friend changed his mind on not getting it once he saw how perfect she had written what he wanted. She was very fun, friendly, and professional - everything you would want in a tattoo artist. The other staff members were also very welcoming. It was a very comfortable experience for me considering my experience during my first tattoo (which was done elsewhere) was not that great. Highly recommend! Diana is an incredible artist :) read more

I have to say that I anticipated a much more proffesional experience. I was recomended by a friend who was tattooed there once before. Apparently the artist that worked on her was no longer there. Instead I was persuaded into getting a horrible tattoo. One of which was promised to be done with proffesional skill level as the example that I managed to provide through photo referance. Its unfortunate because when going over these reviews I cant understand as to how they have more than a single STAR. Before actually stepping in thru the door I was completely submerged in the smell of drugs. Thumbs Down Guys. read more

I got a tattoo from Cee Los, yesterday actually, and I was impressed on pretty much every level. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I knew what I liked and he helped me come up with such an awesome piece I was blown away!! He re-drew my ideas in no time. I'm more then satisfied with not only my kick ass tattoo but the experience as a whole. I would definatley recommend this shop to anybody that wants to get a quality tattoo that they're going to be happy with. I will return to Wildlife for future ink too. Good Guys there!!!! read more

I love going to Wildlife Tattoo's, they always make me feel so at home. They are humble, funny and very caring. CeeLos always has shown support to the scholarship foundation that I run. He has helped us do fundraisers and events such as a toy fundraiser for the kids that are residing at St Jude Hospital. I get all my work done there for the last couple of years. I only let CeeLos do all my saint tattoos lol the rest of the guys are awesome also, they all have their specialties. I love Wildlife and highly recommended to many people .:) read more

I came in the shop scared because i was going to get my belly button pierced. Not gunna lie, i was NERVOUS, but the guys in the shop were super nice! they helped me get over my fear by joking around so that was a plus for me. I also askd the apprentice if he could hold my hand meanwhile i got it, since all my lame FRIENDS didn't want to come with me. N he did! so yeah i would definitely say the shop cares ! I will definitely go their for my next piercing and if i have enough guts for a tattoo of hello kitty! read more

I love getting my tattoos here it is always a very good experience, and the employees are quite friendly as well. Especially compared to all off the other shops I've been to before. Cee Los is the best tattoo artist in the valley, and is the owner of the best tattoo shop in the valley as well. That is my honest opinion, and his prices are a lot more affordable than other tattoo artists as well. I highly recommend this shop to anybody that wants to get some really good quality tattoos. read more
