I've been going to Jeff for tattoo work for 10+ years, and he's absolutely fabulous. His skill, creativity, and attention to detail are unmatched -- every piece I've gotten from him has turned out even better than I imagined. Jeff's calm, professional approach makes every session enjoyable, and he takes the time to make sure you're comfortable and thrilled with the design. My adult kids now go to him too, which says a lot about how much we trust and value his work! If you're looking for a talented, dependable artist who truly cares about his craft and clients, this is the place to go! read more

My son and granddaughter got their ears pierced by Tony. Tony explained everything thoroughly and even though the baby cried, we were prepared and everything went smoothly! He also re-pierced my belly button. I was super nervous since it had been out so long but it was quick and he was very patient. read more

Yer Cheat'n Heart is the place to go when getting tattooed! I've been going to Jeff for 9 years now because his work is consistent and amazing every single time. I'll send him my inspo pics for a piece I want and always give him the creative freedom to draw it up in his style cause he always makes it better than what I send him. He just reads my mind. All the artists there are so friendly and inviting and all do some sick pieces. You cannot go wrong going here! I'll die on a hill before I go anywhere else! I've attached some of my most recent pieces I've gotten done read more

Had a great experience with Darla. Came to her with an idea and she put it all together. It was my 1st tattoo and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! read more

Darla is an amazing artist. I have no artistic skills whatsoever but my minds eye knows what I want. After explaining it to her she turns what I imagined into reality. Can't say enough about this shop... If that wasn't enough, Jeff & John are always there bringing great conversations from old school tattoos, symbolism, history, advice on life or art or just a good joke. The entire place is awesome.. Gotta say tho, Darla is therapeutic to get a tattoo from, she listens then drops a ton of wisdom you wouldn't expect.. read more

I've been going to Yer Cheat'n for 10 years now and always have a good time especially with Darla who's been doing my tattoos since the beginning. She's super thoughtful and hardworking, really recommend to book with her. I've also gotten one of my piercings done here as well by Tony and had it for many years now. Very satisfied and have a lot of respect for the owner of the tattoo shop! read more

This is hands down my go-to tattoo shop. Johnny and Jeff are both insanely skilled and super easy to work with--they really listen and bring your vision to life. And Tony?? Best piercer ever. Quick, clean, and makes you feel totally at ease. The whole shop has such a chill, comfortable vibe, which is exactly what you want when you're getting tatted or pierced. I won't go anywhere else. read more

I absolutely love this place. Johnny is amazing. He draws perfect lines, hes fast and hes thorough. Plus he understands my chaotic brain when im trying to explain things to him . We love Johnny at my house. The shop is super cute in a great location as well. a great way to spend a day. read more

Johnny is so excellent! He listened to me describe what I wanted and he created the graphic right away. The tattoo is perfect. Two of us were walk ins and we didn't have to wait long.

Clean, professional, and kind! We came here for a piercing and got one-on-one service - no rush and had all our questions answered. Since this was our first piercing, we got walked through the process and he was very kind - checked in to see if we were too nervous and still wanted to go on. Thank you for a great experience! read more

The piercer Tony was recommended by a friend who had gotten her daughter's (3 months old) ears pierced. I took my daughter (10 months old) to get her ears pierced. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon. The shop is small, cozy and welcoming. He was super nice and explained everything, making myself and my fiancé feel comfortable. I will definitely go back to get a piercing for myself. read more

The best tattoo shops in the South Bay Area. So many great things to say about them. Their artists are top notch, friendly and definitely super talented. Such a great location that's clean and welcoming. One of those shops you could sit and chat all day with them. If you're looking for an American traditional tattoo this is the place. Johnny Anderson is the my favorite but I'd trust them all! Don't wait hit them up. Why wait on your next tattoo, do it now! read more

I've gotten 7 tattoos and they r excellent I am so happy w the results I am getting two more an ohm symbol is the next one

Second time here at Yer Cheat'n heart on 2/3/23. Came here the first time for my nieces first tattoo a couple months back. I've been wanting to come in myself for a few years now to get work done by Johnny "two thirds" (shop owner) He can do anything really, but specializes and enjoys doing Japanese and American traditional. I've always been a fan of his work, and finally coordinated a time that worked for the both of us to get my first tattoo from him. I came in to get a an old tattoo covered up. Because of its size and saturation, it was going to be quite challenging for any artist... But, Johnny helped me and came up with a great design that came out amazing! Super stoked, with the traditional Panther/Snake design on my right leg... I'll continue to come back to have him fill up the rest of my leg soon! Great artist, great shop, great location, warm welcoming. What more could you ask for?! Thanks Johnny and team! read more

Shop min is $80, i was charged $120 for a lightning bolt the size of a quarter (never had a shop charge me more than the min for something so small and so simple!) it was so poorly done, it hasn't even been a month since I got it and it looks like a fake tattoo that's fading. Don't waste your time here. read more

I should've wrote this review years ago but I forgot. I was looking for a place for a new tattoo, saw this one in the reviews, and remember what a terrible experience we had. We walked into this place a few years back to get my fiancé's ears pierced. Should be simple enough right? It was a nightmare. They use traditional needle stab instead of the gun, which is fine but not preferred. We paid more here for this service than we would've elsewhere, which is also fine. What's not fine is the attitude we got after the piercing was over. They will not provide you with any after care cleaning solution, they will tell you to go out and buy your own. On top of that, they use cheap metal and that cheap metal caused my fiancé's ears to get infected and she had a swollen lump about the size of a peanut m&m on her ear lobe. The only way we could rectify it was by removing the piercing all together and let it heal. My fiancé never wanted to get her ear pierced again after that experience. I can only imagine how furious I'd be if they did this to my young daughter. When I called them after the fact, they didn't care at all. The customer service was trash and so was the piercing and support that was provided after. Won't step foot in here ever again. You can get a better ear piercing at Claire's or Wal-Mart from the employees who make minimum wage. read more

Had an awesome appointment with Johnny! He tattooed me in a couple of hours, no problem. 10000000% recommend anyone come here! Johnny's a legend and has been tattooing for decades. His designs are always incredible! read more

Yer Cheat'n Heart Tattoo - B&W Realism Floral Tattoo: Gladiolus, Peony & Baby's breath - Tattoo Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

Yer Cheat'n Heart Tattoo has done all of my tattoos except one. I started getting my first tattoo by them in 2017 and continued going for many years for three other tattoos and looking back now I shouldn't have gone back. These tattoos I got were not what I was looking for and do not look like my reference photos I showed my artist. My artist was also very heavy handed and ended up scaring my skin. The thick black lines are raised and feel bumpy because they pressed so hard into my skin. I am disappointed that I now have multiple bad tattoos and am contemplating getting them removed. However, the customer service is nice, the prices are reasonable, and the staff make it easy to feel comfortable if you are nervous. read more

My favorite tattoo shop I've gotten 10 of my 14 tattoos done here. All by Darla. She's easy to work with. I have sent in my own designs and I've sent in some references for her to create a unique tattoo for me. She does a lot of old school tattoos but she has also done all my anime tattoos. I love her work I recommend her to everyone. read more

Super, SUPER chill shop with great artists, (Miles F., Johnny 2/3rds, Chris B. etc.). Can get a bit crazy on the weekends due to the proximity to the pier and Pier Avenue eating / drinking establishments. Shop is a little on the smallish side but they'll always be willing to accommodate you to the best of their ability. Walk-ins are always welcome if you want an "out of the book" piece, but if you're planning on getting a custom and / or large piece done, (especially a first-timer), I would suggest you make an appointment for a consultation first. They'll walk you through everything, from ideas / development all the way through to the proper aftercare. Piercing also available on the premises... Just a fantastic shop!!! My "go to" shop for artwork!!! read more

First thing, I got my nipple pierced at the salon and the piercer PIERCED THE CENTER OF MY NIPPLE TO THE SIDE instead of MY WHOLE NIPPLE which was red flag #1. Second, I scheduled a tattoo with Chris Bowman for two days after my piercing appointment to get a birthday tattoo. Chris made me feel confident in him and his work but I was deeply disappointed with my tattoo. The line work is not anything close to professional, with missing spots and clear spots where he messed up for the small price of $200. I am very upset because it looks like it was one of his first tattoos. I am still so angry and devastated. This ruined my 23rd birthday. read more

This is a super late review. But when I went with my friend last year to the Gardena location on Vermont and Redondo Beach Blvd on a random day to get spontaneous tattoos, we were greeted nicely. Customer service was great. The wait wasn't long and there was chairs inside for us. The tattoo artist who worked on me was kind and did an amazing job. To this day, it's one of my favorite tattoos on me. Highly recommend this place!! read more
