Garrett designed a tattoo for me based on my own painting. Â He did a great job and the representation was just what I wanted. Â The shop is clean, he fit me in to work with my time frame, and he was very polite and down to earth, and he priced very fairly. Â I will definitely return!
Review Source:We live in San Diego and my friend and I wanted to get our first tattoos.
So we called Avalon II because they are top rated on Yelp San Diego. Â
We were able to get appointments 2 days later with their visiting Tattoo artist, Garrett. Â What a great job he did with our tattoos. Â Exactly what we wanted. Â This being our first time, we were scared to death (we are Seniors) and this was on our bucket list (ha ha). Â Garrett put us at ease immediately with his personality. Â
You guys up there in Hathaway Pines are lucky to have him.
Last week a friend and I got tattoos by Garrett, the owner of Black Diamond. Â I was looking for a new tattoo artist and my friend said Garrett was highly recommended. Â
The shop is small but very clean and Garrett took great effort to clean everything prior to starting the tattoo and once he was done. Â He didn't have a pretentious attitude. Â When customers came in, asking questions, he asked them to write down their name and number so he could call them back. Â And then focused on me and my ink -- no distracting chitchat. Â The price was really decent too.
Overall, this was the best experience I've had getting a tattoo -- my fifth one. Â Hathaway Pines (between Murphys and Arnold) isn't exactly close to Livermore (where I reside) but honestly, it's worth the drive to get someone who listens to what you want and doesn't brush off your questions, concerns and ideas.
