Second tattoo, but first big piece here. Done by Bobby who was an amazing artist. Very professional staff and you feel comfortable there. Gave him the basic idea I wanted and it came out better than I could have imagined. Great shop to go to. I always recommend  Bobby when people ask for a good artist around Moreno Valley.
Review Source:I went in for my first tattoo on March 27, 2013 and everything was perfect. I actually spent like a week researching and researching not just within Riverside but even as far as Alhambra. I'm so glad I chose the Rogue Elephant. I went to see Bobby to get a tattoo done on my wrist. He was amazing. He was so supportive. The whole time he was telling me how great I was doing and if I needed anything. He only charged me $60 which was so phenomenal considering I'm a broke ass college student lol. Anyway, if you're looking for a supportive, clean, and friendly tattoo shop I definitely recommend the Rogue Elephant. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo.
If you're curious about my tattoo, it's in my profile picture. He also offered a free touch up if I wanted one and gives you the ointment you need for the tattoo rather than just telling you what to buy. Overall, amazing.
Took my mom here for her 65th birthday to get her nose and cartilage pierced. She'd never been to a tattoo studio before and was pleasantly surprised by how clean and professional the experience was. Danny made her feel very comfortable and confident in the procedure. He took time to answer her questions and address her nervousness. I also had a second cartilage piercing put in and overall, it was fantastic bonding experience with my mom made all that much better by an excellent establishment with a superb Piercing Artist.
Review Source:So I got two tattoos from them back when they still had their Alessandro location open. First time around all the guys there were super nice professional and I liked my tattoo, so I decided to go back to them for a second tat. I took them a design of cherry blossoms I wanted and told Mike I wanted a pale pink with no outline. He kept arguing with me that because of my skin color the pale pink color I wanted would not look good. I REALLY wanted my cherry blossom a PALE PINK color but he kept insisting a darker tone almost purplish would look best on my skin, sighting he was the professional and knew best, so I decided "hey this guy is the tattoo artist wtf do I know".
Honestly, I should of just walked away. I mean its not a bad tattoo I mean its pretty but its not what I initially wanted. the tat looks good if im wearing a bathing suit but say im sitting on the couch and my shirt rises up, you can see the three petals at the bottom of the tat and I kid you not people make a nasty face at me and ask me "what are those red/purple things on your skin, it looks nasty" to which I have to explain "NO its my tat" and have to raise my entire shirt up to show them its a nice tat.
Apart from being given a tat with a color I did NOT want, the biggest reason I will NEVER visit inkaholics let alone recommend someone else to inkaholics is because during my second visit I look my shirt off so Mike could work on my side, I left my shirt on the chair. Bobby comes over picks up my shirt and says, "I BET I CAN FIT INTO YOUR SHIRT" to which I thought he was kidding even tho he walked away with my first. A minute later he comes over and HE IS WEARING MY SHIRT. I was not only shocked but completely livid. How unprofessional! He could tell I was mad and apologize but im sorry Im not a sharer, let alone okay with a grown ass man stretching out my shirt and EXPECT ME TO WEAR IT OUT AFTER HE WORE AND STRETCHED IT. Especially since I did not take another shirt. Paid them, left, WILL NEVER GO BACK.
(paid 250$ for it).
I just got my tattoo here. My tattoo artist was Brent. He is an awesome guy and very skilled at what he does. It was quick, there was minimal pain, and I LOVE my new tattoo!! Brent made me feel completely comfortable and talked with me the entire time, which took my mind off the pain. The place is very clean, has a great vibe, and some cool artwork on the walls. I definitely recommend this tattoo studio and I will be back for my next one.
Review Source:Another great tattoo studio to get work done at. I first came here when Brian was still working out of this location and just loved the feel of the studio. The walls are filled with art work and not your typical flash posters on racks, a nice little change. I believe they even hold art shows at the location from time to time. The lobby is very zen like and really enjoyed my visit there. I have also got work done by Janelle who is a master with the tattoo gun. Shes very nice and puts out great quality work. Her shading is amazing and she actual works pretty quick. If your looking for a low key, friendly environment, clean place, with Fair pricing, I would defiantly suggest you hit up the Rogue Elephant for your next piece!
Review Source:Well, there were three of us. One of my friends went to Dave's Tattoos to get her cartilage pierced, my friend Lexi went here to get her bellybutton pierced, and I went to Paragon to get my bridge pierced. (You can see my reviews on the other two.) All in one night! So, Lexi wanted this place and loved it. It was a great environment, very well kept shop, the people who worked there were friendly and proficient. This was Lexi's first piercing, so she was very nervous, but absolutely loved it. She says he really knew what he was doing, it didn't hurt at all, and the jewelry is adorable. He told her how to clean it, where to get more jewelry and what size to get, and answered all of her questions. He was very helpful and charged her $30. All in all, a great place and well done.
Review Source:I came to Jim by admiring his work on my friends. Â Jim, who is now at the Riverside location, gave me my first tattoo when he worked at the Moreno Valley location (January 2010). Jim was everything you want in a tattoo artist: not too-cool-for-school, approachable, knowledgeable, talented, patient, and attentive. Â My tattoo took over four hours, and Jim seemed, intuitively, to know when I was at the absolute end of my pain threshold and offer a break. Â My colorful tattoo, which incorporated a lot of red (a tough color to work with) came out beautiful! Â Jim's work is incredible - he can do intricate or bold with equal aplomb. Â What I really love about Inkaholics is that nearly all of their tattoo artists are artists in other media - Rogue Elephant is an art gallery where the artists who work in flesh exhibit their non-flesh work. Â For me, this speaks to the talent of the artists and provides even more examples of their work to judge and select your artists. Â I recommend this shop unreservedly.
Review Source:Got my first tattoo here from Bobby and I'm glad my first experience was as great as it was. Really patient and courteous staff, willing to listen to the story behind my tattoo. Â It felt like I walked into a room of people that I had known for years. Â Clean and plenty of space to not feel like you've been pushed into a cluttered room of people. Â Prices were okay, what you'd expect at a shop so no complaining there. Overall, great experience at a great spot.
Review Source:3rd time - definitely a charm. Â
This time, like the 1st time. Â I had a foundation of a design. Â I gave it to Bobby and he did the rest. Â This is a very special tattoo. Â It's a memorial to my husband who passed away a couple of weeks ago. Â
The artwork is great, the color is beautiful. Â

Have I mentioned I have another appointment booked?
Brent Sienkbel Did my daughters tattoo, and it came out like a piece of art. Definitely worth going in and having a professional like him do the tattoo verses some back alley hack. Brent is the best in the industry for Vintage style tattoos, amongst other work. I highly recommend making an appointment with him, you cant beat his consultation either. He isn't afraid to tell you why certain things wont work on a tattoo, or how to get the effect you want, very knowledgeable, and experienced.
Review Source:Hands down best shop in Riverside/Moreno Valley area. Noneother can match the amazing work that comes from this shop, the great welcoming feeling you get when entering, and the down to earth attitudes of the artists that work here. Not a rock star shop at all. You wont pay 500 dollars for a small mediocre piece here. Amazing work that fits the price it's worth. I've been getting tattooed by this crew for over 4 years, have moved to San Diego and make the commute up to continue to collect work from them. Loyal costumer, and friend.
Review Source:Rogue Elephant (Inkaholics studio 2) definitely doesn't have that "tattoo shop" feel when you walk in. It's modern and sophisticated. From the rock/tile flooring to the individual private rooms, your experience there is definitely going to be comfortable, memorable, and addictive. It's not a shop where you can pick from flash art on the walls (there is no flash what so ever). What is displayed throughout the studio walls are individual paintings and pieces created by Rogue Elephant's talented bunch of rad misfits. And the artists themselves are nothing but professional, fun, and patient. Â
What I originally wanted as an arm and shoulder piece, turned into a monstrous back and side beauty on my girlie body, after meeting Jim Warf and discovering what his oh-so-soft-hands were capable of there was so no way my amazing and original work of art could have been done on a smaller canvas. He works fast and his hands work light. The detail and dedication he put into my sketches alone blew me away. And the ease and quickness that brought my awesome tattoo to life will keep me going back for more. Jim Warf is a scruffy angel in a flannel.
I have yet to get tattooed by another Inkaholics artist, but I'd love the chance to get something done by Janelle Cuba or Brian Foster. Both artists set the bar for talent and life-like work.
If you don't have the urge for some amazing new ink, then check out an art show and pick up some new home decor. Either way, you want to be a part of Inkaholics and what they have to offer.
Check them out on Facebook.
No matter what type of tattoo you are looking to get Inkaholics is your one stop shop! With multiple artists to choose from (all with professional portfolios) it's easy to find the artist with the style that fits you best. The shop is also an art gallery with a variety of interesting art. Â My most recent work was beautifully done by Rob Hendrickson. I brought in a picture of what I wanted and he fine tuned it into a beautiful one of a kind tattoo. Bring in your ideas and thoughts and turn them into an everlasting art piece.
