Guardian Art Gallery — Attraction in Orange

I drove over an hour & my plans were actually to go to another tattoo shop & drop off my deposit. Well, I arrived & the place I had planned to go was not open. I googled tattoo shops near me and Guardian Art showed up. Their work looked really nice & their reviews were great.

I walked in and you could tell this place was several steps above any shop I had ever stepped foot into. Very clean & visually appealing to look at. I was instantly greeted by the woman at the front desk. Turned out they were able to take me that day as Alex had finished up his last tattoo earlier than planned. I was asked to check into their very professional program & sign wavers. I was amazed at the professionalism right away.

Once Alex took me to the back to get started I was amazed again at his room all the extra lighting & a tablet he scanned my picture onto that he kept In front of him to follow the picture to a T. After he got my design on my arm (I had expected him to hand me a little mirror & ask if it was okay. ) he had me get up walk out of the room & check the placement in a huge mirror. After that we got started he was finished in a good amount of time. This is the first time I got a tattoo where I felt all attention was on my tattoo. Usually in shops the artist stops & talks or gets up & take forever.

When I was done I was given a cart sheet to take home & was told to call if I had any questions. I honestly couldn’t have been anymore happy with the whole package from the moment I walked in into the moment...

I’ve gotten a few tattoos in the past at different shops but nothing compares to the experience of getting my most recent tattoo at Guardian Art Gallery! There’s a great vibe as soon as you walk in the door. Alex was super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Not to mention she treats you like you’re family! The walls are decorated with Angel’s art work which is so exciting and reassuring to look at such talent while you’re waiting to get tatted. Angel (the artist) is INCREDIBLY talented, and more than exceptional at what he does! He’s a genuine guy that makes you feel safe and comfortable the entire time you’re there and produces beautiful work! I would recommend this tattoo shop to everyone and will continue to go here for any...

Speaking as a person who works here, coming from other shops in the past, i can't express how happy i am with this shop. To work here feels like working with family, the clients we have come thru the door are really incredible people. The bonds I've formed with some of these people warms my heart. I'm a very upfront person so if i wasnt happy with the way the shop was run, you'd hear it. But i really genuinely love the vibe here, i love seeing how happy our clients are from our services/ our location. It means so much to me to have people give us feedback on their positive experiences here! Thank you all for helping us thrive and create more lovely memories...
