I went here last month because my tattoo artist, Ruth Bautista started working at this shop. I got a detailed, Rik Lee piece outlined and shaded by her and will be heading back this week for my color. This is my second tattoo by Ruth and I've never felt more comfortable with any artist or in a shop before. I have a very feminine, delicate taste in tattoos and her line work was amazing on my latest tattoo. She's patient, considerate, easy to communicate with, and super open to ideas. Would definitely recommend her for feminine illustrations if any of you are into pieces similar to Audrey Kawasaki's or Rik Lee's. So excited to get my color done!
The atmosphere in the shop is very laid back and the shop itself has an art appreciative look.
David Bautista is amazing! His work thus far is great and I couldn't be happier with picking him as my artist. I am having a black garter with some color done around my thigh. I've researched and analyzed what I want done and by who for months now. I'm very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone looking to have quality work done.
Review Source:I'm usually intimidated by tattoo shops but this place was great!
My friend took me here cause she got hers done at the same place and as soon as I walked in, the workers were very friendly and the environment was really cool.
It was my first time getting a tattoo done so I was pretty nervous but everyone there made it seem chill and Ruth did an amazing job on the hamsa hand that I wanted.
I highly recommend this place for anyone because it'll be worth everything you pay for. I would definitely go back for my next tattoo!
I just got a tattoo from Johnny from Blind Nobility at the tattoo expo in San Francisco, and I could not be happier with how my Frankenstein tattoo came out. Everyone showed me a lot of love from their shop and Johnny is a awsome artist. I will definitely see them again for another big piece in March for the next expo!!! You guys need to check them out !!!
Review Source:Super glad I found this place on Yelp and decided to check it out! The guy who helped me was very nice and helpful. He was also very patient with me while I chose what font I wanted for my tattoo. I'm glad on the outcome of my tattoo and the placement. I would definitely come back here!
Review Source:Searched online around the local SoCal area and even visited an expo, and the work they do here stood out to me the most. Johnny reworked on my 3/4 sleeve for a whole 8-9 hours straight. Not all tattooist are willing to do that but that just tells me how serious these guys are in the profession and the tattoo finish was still clean. When I called in, I was greeted in a friendly, professional manner and was able to quickly set an appointment that fit into the artist and my schedule. The shop was clean and the artist portfolios were easily accessible and the environment was really inviting as the guys in the front quickly welcome you in. Saw a guy walk in for a small tat and the staff sprang up to assist him. Before Johnny worked on my tat, we collaborated and made some last minute tweaks to the idea he sketched to make sure I was completely satisfied. If you are in the local area, don't miss out on these guys if you want some real work done. Johnny has won some pretty dope awards and for good reason. Definitely going back for more work in the future.
Review Source:I got a regretful tattoo that needed to be covered up. So I looked upon yelp and found that this place has a five star rating, also I always pass it on the way to work. Johnny G turned a red transformer into a tiger. He was friendly and so was his staff. And not to mention the parlor was very clean. These guys know what their doing! If I get another tattoo this is the place I will go, again!
Review Source:I discovered Blind Nobility through a friend and was introduced to Johnny G.. I live about an hour away so I did most my research online. I followed them on Facebook and Instagram to check out specifically Johnny's work but also browsed through all the artists creations of art and was thoroughly impressed. Anyhow, We spoke over the phone and I gave him my idea and let him run free with it... Not seeing the drawing till the day of the tattoo, he greeted me like I was welcomed into his own home, showed me what he came up with and without hesitation, I loved it and we got to work. Being there for six hours getting a killer piece, I had time to talk to and see the other artist I have seen online all working on their clients doing great work and all being responsive while using spot on time management with way above average results. Johnny's and I meshed while we sat, the job was done smoothly.. He was "gentle," in that for me it wasn't uncomfortable to sit there in pain having needles dig into my skin, but like a knife through butter! Also noticed that he and other artist had all sorts of  certificates and awards from Tattoo Expos. Testing themselves everyday and mastering the craft and putting out masterpieces are others reasons I am definitely coming back to get more work done. They definitely go above and beyond. At the end Johnny gave me now what is the sweetest and cleanest tattoo I have to date.. Check it on Johnny's Insta page, @inkbyjohnnyg You won't be disappointed going hear. See you guys again soon, and at the next Event you hold.. Water balloon war and beer pong tournament?!
Review Source:First time getting tatted here. Came from Hawaii and wanted to get some work done. The environment was upbeat and welcoming. Workers were extremely helpful and the tattoos I got came out better than thought. While gettin my tattoo they even made sure my friend was comfortable by letting her play games and just made her feel not as bored as she would have Been I she was just sitting around for 6 hrs. My tattoo turned out great! You should definitely make an appointment with David! Coming back to Cali soon and already have another appointment to get more work done.
Review Source:Best tattoo experience yet. Â Everyone in the shop was helpful, honest and welcoming. Â I came in with an idea and Patrick took on the task. Â His station, as is everyone's, is clean and tidy. Â Being there for a 5+ hour session, the time flew and my piece turned out better than I ever imagined; I will be back to add more. Â All the artists working at Blind Nobility are exceptionally talented. Â Even the clients waiting/ getting work done were awesome!
Review Source:Went in last night to get a tattoo last minute and I'm extremely happy with their business! They're super friendly and dope to talk to. Ruth did a piece on my arm and it was perfect! So stoked on the artistry and cleanliness of the shop. I will forever go here for my tattoos! Thanks Ruth!
Review Source:This is an awesome place. It's very clean & they're very professional. My sister & I went in the same day & we were both very satisfied. I got my tattoo done by Ruth Bautista she understood exactly what I wanted & she did an amazing job. She's super sweet & she kept conversating the entire time which made it a lot easier for me & before I knew it she was done. I'm definitely going back to her for my next tattoo.
Review Source:The staff are really cool. No egos or douche bag attitudes here. They're all characters and are guaranteed to make you laugh while you have one of the most pain inducing experiences of your life. ;) The store is really clean and organized, which is one of the most (if not the most) important things to consider when shopping for tattoos. Dylan Smith has worked on my thigh piece for the past few weeks now and I'm really pleased with the way it's coming out.
I really enjoy this tattoo shop and plan on making it my go-to spot for ink.
I got my tattoo done on Tuesday 1/8/2013 by Johnny G and I went in with a sketch of what I wanted and I had no clue what type of writing I wanted and I told him that I wanted girly hand writing and he nailed it perfectly what I had envision. This was on my side and I thought it was going to hurt but Johnny was very gentle and took his time with me. The shop was very clean and the people that worked there are very professional and friendly. Yes they are a little pricey but it is well worth it because the quality of the tattoo is amazing and the artwork of Johnny G is fantastic, I will defiantly be coming back and recommending Blind Nobility Ink to my friends
Review Source:ADRIAN is my boy. I just finished my full color hair/ makeup sleeve last month, & it took roughly 4 months to finish due to our schedule and I love every piece of it. His art work is amazing and never a dull compliment. If you want realistic art work ADRIAN won't let you down. I'm married to the ink
Review Source:To start off, I didn't get a tattoo here but I was with my friend while she was getting hers done. Â However, the whole experience was so badass I felt compelled to write this and actually made a Yelp account so I post.
My friend and I went in at around 9 pm with a general idea but without much to work off of. Â Jonny G pulled up some pictures and helped her decide exactly what she wanted. Â Once they figured it out, he did some weird tattoo black magic and came out with a stencil and mocked it all up. Â Pretty standard shop procedure from what I can tell, but what do I know. Â
The magic began when he started laying down the ink. Â The tattoo was of a lion family crest thing with a rose bud next to it on her side/hip and over the course of the next few hours, it went from some smeared blue stencil to a crazy ass lion that looked like it could eat my face off. Â I watched him work (in the least creepy way possible) and I kept thinking, there's no way that can look more awesome than it already does, but holy balls, it kept getting better. Â He had a really delicate touch the entire time, which my friend verified from the receiving end, and it was apparent that he genuinely cared and enjoyed his work. Â We got to know him a little better throughout the process and the more we learned, the more respect we gained for his talent. Â Jonny truly loves what he does and it's obvious from the moment you talk to him. Â If that wasn't enough to give you a chubby (or lady chubby, I'm equal opportunist), he's also nice as a mofo. Â He was super patient and accommodating for my friend. Â Need a ten minute break from getting shanked repeatedly with a tiny needle? Â No problem! Â He worked at her pace and was polite and cool for every minute we were there, despite the fact that he ended up working way past closing. Â
The owner of the shop (Jonny's brother) even hung out with us for a bit and he's just as cool. Â Speaking of which, the facility itself is really clean and nice. Â Looking around, you'll notice top notch equipment and comfy chairs. Â The guys here put a lot of effort into making sure you feel welcome and confident knowing that you're in excellent hands.
The bottom line is this: Â If you're going to subject yourself to hours of painful injections of ink, you'll be hard pressed to find a place that will offer the quality of work, cool atmosphere, and great company that this place has.
My Husband and his friend who is home from the Army went in and met David Acosta. Â He was very friendly and professional. Â Gave them a great deal for their "rainy day special". Â His set up was very clean and organized. Â He was very personable and made sure that they were comfortable during their session. Â My husband talked to him about future tattoos he wanted done and gave his advise/opinion on what he was able and not able to do. Â He was very honest about his capabilities and didn't BS. Â Will for sure go back to David for future sessions.
Review Source:Went in two weeks ago to give very rough sketches of what I wanted done. Met with Johnny G, put my deposit down and made an appointment for two tattoos in the same day. The ink came out more beautiful  than I could have ever dreamed. He managed to make one of my tats look like a photo with how much detail he put into it. Will be back for more work in the future and will tell everyone I know to go there. Clean shop, really friendly staff and excellent work. Can't be beat.
Review Source:Read a couple of reviews before calling to check if they were open on Black Friday. Lucky for my friend and me, they were having a deal--$20 for any piercing. Adrian pierced my naval and there were no problems! He didn't really explain the cleaning procedure, but he probably noticed my nose ring and assumed I knew how to clean it. They've only been open a couple weeks, but their shop is clean and is very professional. Super cool and friendly staff! I definitely recommend Blind Nobility and I'll probably be coming back soon. Thanks guys!
Review Source:Met up with David Bautista (tattoo artist) to negotiate custom work i wanted done on my back. the work I wanted done was intricate, detailed, and was a huge picture that would complete the other half of my back. David was very receptive to the input I wanted to get done and still had the creative freedom to add his own flare to it.
David was clean, neat, organized, and very meticulous with his set up. If the outline wasnt placed perfect, he wouldn't tat it was what he said. During the sessions, he constantly tries to keep your mind off things and always asks if you need a break/ time to breathe chill, bathroom etc; most ppl getting tatted appreciate that. You can tell that he takes his time to incorporate all the feedback you gave by the work that he does. Amazing stuff this guy produces.
I definitely have 3 more of my friends asking and lining up for this guy. He's young, fresh, talented, and genuinely just wants to please. Great customer service and fair prices... you get what you pay for! I will go back for my next ink sesh for sure. Check out his work on fb and drop him a call, he always responds back in a timely manner. Thanks again David!
