Outlaw Art Gallery and Tattoos — Local services in Pasadena

Let me start out by saying, the owner, Sean, is an amazing and friendly guy and I've heard his work is really good. Actually, everyone in the shop is very friendly. The two star rating goes on my experience alone. I won't mention my artist's name but he started a cover-up for me and it's not good. I paid a $100 deposit and scheduled my appointment. My artist had to move my appointment, which was okay, but in a message, he said he was almost done with my stencil. I asked to see it when it was ready but he never replied. Anyway, I arrived at my appointment early and my stencil was NOT ready and I waited over an hour before we got started. Overall, considering all the distractions, I got less than 2 hours worth of ink but still had to pay $300. Their price is $150 an hour. After the high of getting a new tattoo wore off and some healing, I am not happy about the work at all. The old tattoo is completely showing back through, a lot of the lines are shaky and the shading does not match the reference I picked, which is why the old tat is showing back through.

After digging around with the 16 gauge she went and try to insert an 18 gauge piece and after all the digging around she did with that one she couldn’t make it go through. And she said she had to re pierce it to which I said no. She was nice and apologetic but messed up 2 nose piercings back to back, she should stick to ear piercings if that’s her...

These guys are hilarious and really skilled artists. I love how friendly and professional this shop is. If you want to have a great tattoo experience, this is the place to go. Here is a photo of a Boston Terrier that one of the artists, Aaron, drew with prismacolor pencils and markers that took me about 10 hours total, over the course of about a month. They are just as funny as they are skilled, artistically. Come say hi to us, I mean them... just to discuss your next big piece or to schedule an appointment. You won't be disappointed....
