Cody is truly an artist. I gave him a few pictures of what I like, but what he drew up  is AMAZING!! His color and shading detail is top notch. Highly recommend to everyone!  The atmosphere is extremely comfortable and clean. I have wanted this tattoo for ever, and I am so glad I did my research to discover Cody!!
Review Source:Before you go anywhere else, check this place out. TJ worked with me through the whole thing, I went in 3 different times, first to get a quote and set the appt, then he told me to come in again to work the sketch out that way we both knew exactly what we were doing, (I thought that was pretty cool) then of course the 3rd time in was getting the actual tattoo done. I was nervous cause I was getting it on my ribs & I heard it hurt a lot, which IT DID. But I got through it, he made me feel comfortable & it came out better then I pictured in my head. I've been recommending TJ since I walked out the door and will continue to.
TJ has 13 years experience, his work is solid and clean.
Walked in for a consult, because that's what they tell you to do. They were busy and basically really didn't have the time for me. They asked me what I wanted and then told me to step to the back where everyone was congregating. I showed them my tattoo and ran some ideas by them as to what I wanted to add, without looking at my pics and barely looking up at me he said nope, that's not a good idea.
I didn't like their attitude not the atmosphere. I will NEVER step foot in there regardless of their quality of work.
Went in today, at first they seemed nice, then when i explained i wanted a quote tattoo their whole demeanor changed like they didnt want to be bothered with it, I was practically draggin information out of them to find out how much and what time they would be available to do it. Long story short they didnt seem to want my business so I didnt give it to them and much happier with the shop I did go to the guys there had much more personality.
Review Source:Worst tattoo shop I've ever been to. Staff was unprofessional and I was not satisfied with end tattoo. I got a half sleeve done by Sean and ended up going to someone else to finish it because I didn't like where it was going. The tattoo artist who finished it said it was one of the biggest messes he had to fix in his career. On top of that I had asked several times during the 6 hours of tattooing to take a break and he refused! Do not go here!!!
Review Source:I've got a bunch of tattoos and Cody here at Flagship is the one that has done 99% of them. He does the style of tattoos I like, and hes a cool dude. I have never been tattooed by TJ but I have seen his work and he is really good as well. The two of them cover just about every style you could want, hands down the best tattoo shop in the Valley.
Review Source:If you're wondering what the capital city of good tattoos is, it's this place! A friend and I came here to both get tattoos from Sean. This was only my second tattoo so I still had the jitters beforehand.
But that ended the second I met Sean - my tattoo artist soul mate. He's very friendly and a pro artist. He has gentle hands and makes you instantly feel at ease. I love my new tattoo and whenever I get another one, I'll be sure to go to Sean.
I asked my brother, who has a good dozen tattoos where I should go to get my first tattoo. Instead of recommending his tattoo artist, he recommended Flagship!!I He said they were a clean shop and great artists.
So I went and had "matching" tattoos with my husband for our 5th anniversary. Â Sean was our artist.
I was very comfortable in the tattoo shop. No raunchy humor etc (I have been to a few tattoo shops years past and would feel very uncomfortable being the only female in the shop).
We were extremely impressed with Sean and his brother T.J. being that they are true artists! No flash work here! Sean was great to work with! I can't wait to go back later and have them draw me another wonderful work of art!
Thanks you guys!
I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS SHOP. Â I was in Palm Desert for a few days this weekend from Chicago and decided I wanted to get some work done. I googled shops in the area and came across Flagship Tattoo. Something in my head just told me I should check 'em out. I really can't say enough about these guys.
The shop was super clean, cool, welcoming, professional. The work speaks for itself. TJ did an AMAZING day of the dead skull on my shoulder with a rose and some lettering and it just looks killer. Sick traditional chops and really vibrant color. And the price was EXTREMELY reasonable! I was in and out in 3.5 hrs. The guys that run the shop are great - when I left around 6pm, I realized my car battery drained bc I left an interior light on. They had me jumped and driving away in literally 5 minutes, so I'm super grateful about that. I can't think of any other shops that would do the same without any hesitation like they did.
If you want killer work done by cool dudes at an awesome price, there's no other shop than Flagship in Palm Desert. Go see for yourself.
