Whittier Tattoo — Local services in Whittier

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT COME HERE.

The owners responses to these reviews will say enough

My friend and I made the mistake of choosing this place for matching tats.

This is definitely an apprentice level shop.

We were given some girl with no experience . I thought the tattoo would get better or the girl would stop shaking …it got worse as we went along . I had to ask her to stop and I would go to someone else to fix what she did .

I’m absolutely disgusted with the results and the fact that it’s operating . The girl was high , with extremely shakey hands, and could not follow a simple stencil. She didn’t wash her hands one time while we were there .

We were there for 2.5 hours for 3 simple words. “No Matter What”

The management and staff seemed to be offended when I was upset about the lines and quality . The owner even said “oh she didn’t tell you she was an apprentice?? My bad “

I understand we are in a pandemic and people need jobs but not everyone should aloud to do tattoos let alone manage”””” , without being over seen by someone training them .

I was going to pay half initially and then the second manager asked me to leave after , She told me she couldn’t respect the things I was saying about the quality of work and the shop“” . I wish I reacted the way more harshly I but I have something this shop does not . STANDARDS.

Minus all the details about poor management skills , professionalism , and lack of experience ; Please anyone looking for a shop, PLEASE HEAD THE OTHER DIRECTION.

Response : I never spoke about going with someone cheaper , I clearly said I would go to someone with EXPERIENCE because the 1st manager asked if I wanted someone else to fix it . I pay for quality. I have other tattoos. I was not asked””” to leave I chose to leave after requesting it be cleaned by the second manager . No one was aggressive and no one intimidated the artist . Why would anyone be rude to someone especially if they are getting a tattoo..I had to speak up and ask her to stop politely because her shakes and I was too uncomfortable finishing the tattoo at the location . Like I said earlier in the review I wish I reacted...

At the studio - Had an amazing experience here especially for our first time. The entire staff were very welcoming and fun to hangout with. The vibes were amazing. We felt super comfortable and movies are constantly played there so you can relax. You can really feel the dedication and work every artist has poured into the shop. Each station is so unique to the artist and every detail of the shop has a piece of art. 10/10 will be coming back again.

Our artist - We were nervous but she was very calming and patient. Cas was so sweet and kind. Amazing skill set and was super efficient too. Her price point is very reasonable especially for her experiences and artist level. We loved talking and sharing this amazing experience. She was kind, respectful, and very sanitary. I can’t wait to get another tattoo from her. 💗 [Our fresh and healed work is below]

I recommend her to anyone especially first-timers and to give them a follow!

Discriminatory service. Refused service to my niece after making appointment and paying a small deposit. I asked if I could stay with her during her tattoo since she has a hearing disability. They said they have a no guest policy due covid. I explained she would have difficulty understanding him if he spoke to her because of the music. Apparently no exceptions. We said ok. Since the ‘artist’ Steven was not wearing a mask, I asked if he could just make sure to speak clearly so she could read his lips. He said, “No, thank you. I am good. You guys can go somewhere else.” and was already pulling out cash to refund the deposit. We were not trying to be difficult. He was unwilling to work with her. He opened the door, we left. I can’t believe they were just so unwilling to accommodate such a small request. Disturbing that someone wouldn’t take a few extra minutes to help a client who is deaf. Terribly...
