As everyone has already said, billy is the best. Â I wanted to get my first tattoo for my 25th birthday, I found new generation tattoo on yelp and saw that it only got 5 star reviews and that more than half referred to billy as being patient, awesome, and a great artist. Â All of those things are 100 percent true. Â He kept asking me throughout the procedure if I was ok. Â Also, the place is really clean and nice. Â I love my tatoo, thanks Billy! And thank you to all of you who left helpful yelp reviews!
Review Source:Very happy with the over all experience. Â Definitely going back to get the so much anticipated Phoenix in memory of a close family member. Â I walked in without an appointment on a Friday afternoon, and was treated wonderfully by Billy. Â Right away he made us feel comfortable and welcomed.
It really felt great walking into a place with great customer service after visiting several shop that lacked attention and simply made you feel unwanted. I wont mention names but its down Alum Rock, yup those fools sucked skill.
Going back to Billy in no time, can't wait.
Billy, Tan, Khuong & Vi are a fierce foursome to encounter. Â Vi's fiery red hair and personality greet you upon entering this immaculately kept boutique of body modification. Â The three amigos of Billy, Tan and Khuong are either working on drawings for upcoming clients or bashing each other for being Instagram whores. Â This group works hard and plays harder.
On to the work I got today yo. Â Tan started to refurbish my decade old back piece today. Â The table I was instructed to sprawl out on was saran wrapped oh so neatly like mom's casserole for travel to a neighbor's abode. Â After changing into my beau's button-up, Tan set up 3 partitions to prevent creeper glares. Â Huge endorsement goes to Tan and his tattooing skills because not a SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD left my precious body. Â Note: The first time I got my back done, I bled like a virgin for sacrifice. Breaks for potty, pooing and thirst are taken easily without fear of time crunch deadlines. Â My tattoo is solid black and Tan surely delivered the blackout I've been feening. Â One session today and am ready to kill my second session with Tan and the crew in two weeks, get excited for my return guys! Â The tattoo area was fresh and clean to death as well brohams. Â
Want to be one of the cool kids? Â Get tatted at New Generations and disappoint your elders to the point of being taken out the will. Â You know you want to.
Wonderful tattoo shop! Â Billy is very patient, Â thorough and a very impressive artist. Â His shop is modern and clean. Â He accommodated my husband and I calling at the last minute to each get a tattoo and stayed open late to finish us without rushing. Â He was the gentlest tattoo artist I have ever worked with! Â I was very impressed, love my new tattoo and will return when I am ready for my next one. Â Highly recommend.
Review Source:I got a simple band tattoo on my finger. Even though it's not a complex design, I did not want a cut-rate artist giving me wavy lines or lousy shading. Photos of Billy's previous work on here put my mind at ease. I spoke to Billy on the phone before coming in, he was straightforward and up-front, letting me know the potential drawbacks of a tattoo on the finger (fading issues, etc) but I decided to go for it anyway. I definitely appreciated his candor and giving me a heads up about potential issues.
The shop is nice and clean, very well kept, and Billy uses the quietest tattoo gun I've ever heard. The shop stays open later on Friday night than most other shops in the area which was cool, plus Billy did not make us feel rushed even though we went a little past his posted closing time. He has a nice light touch and does a clean and thorough prep. The tat has clean and even lines, I'm totally satisfied. Billy is easy to talk to and seems like a genuine and nice guy. I will definitely be back to him sometime soon to get a bigger piece!
I walked into this place the other day to get my first tattoo- yikes! Â Billy was soooo nice and super patient and made sure he completely understood exactly what I wanted before we got started (which is obviously very important when getting something permanently drawn on your body). Â It turned out perfect and I love it! Â I would highly recommend this place to anyone, especially if they are a bit nervous ;)
Review Source:Five star goes to Billy!
I got my first tattoo from him on April 1st (yes, on April fool's day lol). One of the main reason was because I've seen his portfolio on cherry blossoms from their website, so I knew that I could trust him with mine.
On the day of my appointment, he sat me down and made sure we went over all the minor details of my tattoo before starting on it. We spent about 35 minutes going over the colors, size, and basically every detail so that I would be completely satisfied with it. My tattoo took one session and the price was reasonable. Overall, I'm a very happy customer. I've been getting nonstop compliments from my tattoo, so that's always a plus!
Billy is a top notch guy. He's really easy to talk to and super patience. You know he is  focus and a great listener, so I had no doubt from him whatsoever. He cares about the longevity of the tattoo, what more can you ask from a tattoo artist?
The environment there was really fun to be around, at the same time you know that there serious about their work. While I was getting my tattoo, I enjoyed talking to the adorable receptionist and the other tattoo artists.
I'll definitively come back if I ever decide to get another one. Thanks again Billy, forever grateful!
Once again, my fellow Yelpers have not steered me wrong. Â I called New Generation Tattoo and Billy was kind enough to squeeze me into his busy schedule same day. Â Super nice guy. Â I indicated I had sketched out a design and he asked me to email it to him so that he can get a head start on design and improving it if needed. Â Already right off the bat, communication was going great and I have not stepped foot into the Tattoo shop yet. Â When I arrived, everyone was warm and friendly and I got a great vibe immediately. Â Billy spent time explaining to me what size he recommended and where it would be best located. Â Over all my tattoo came out clean, detailed, and exactly how I imagined it to be. Â Billy is clearly a experienced artist and the PLUS is he is extremely friendly and tries to be as accommodating as possible with my requests. Â I will definitely return to New Generation Tattoo if I have that itching need to be inked again! Â Thank you Billy for the awesome experience! Â I will be back :)
Review Source:Okay so I got my tattoo a year ago from Shao and he was amazing.
Professional, respectful and has such a light hand. He did a simple black heart and scripture on me and he was so patient with me because I kept changing the sizes and fonts.
My best friend and I had him tattoo us one right after the other and we felt at complete ease.
She's had 4 tattoos done by him. This  was my first and not my last since in planning on making an appointment next week!! Can't wait!!
Quality is what you get with Shao!
So I came into New Generation after work and Billy was just done tattooing a client. I asked him to help fix the heart tattoo that I had on my left wrist. I had the tattoo done a year ago by a friend of mine, but it didn't turn out so great.
I heard that Billy is really great at clean lines and small tattoos, so I gave him a shot to "fix my heart." He was very patient with me because I wanted him to clean up the lines on my original heart AND to add a smaller heart next to the heart I already had. He drew/found the perfect cute little heart and did a sample next to my original heart...
The end result? Billy did an excellent job on my wrist. He made my original heart look like an actual heart and he did a great job integrating the small heart next to the big heart. I couldn't be happier. Now I am more confident in showing my wrist off. It also didn't hurt as bad as my first time getting the tattoo. So kudos to Billy for that!
I would definitely come back if I were to ever get another tattoo... I am suppose to come back for a touch up soon, since I got this done on Jan 31st. Thanks a lot New Generation!
I went here to get a tattoo to fit it into the limited of space I have on my wrist. Â Billy was amazing to be able to fit it in to the limited area that I had. Â Also, with my indecisiveness of deciding the color later. Â He was very kind and let me pick a lot of different colors to see what I liked.
I would definitely recommend this place to my friends, they are clean, friendly and a very professional crew.
I love my new tattoo and can't wait to come back for more!
First off I want to thank the guys at New Generation Tattoo. Truly genuine people who works there. Been wanting a finger a tattoo for awhile but was holding it off. Came in and Billy helped me right away. I had a hard time deciding what font I wanted but with his help he knew what I imagined the tattoo to be. Yeah crazy! Exactly dead on. Thanks New Generation!
Review Source:I got my first tattoo ever from Billy! I went in told him what I wanted and he took the time to make my design perfect. He gave me a flat rate of $200 for what I wanted. I came back a week later and felt nervous, but he made everything go smoothly. In just one hour, I got a pretty detailed peacock feather on my upper thigh and it didn't hurt one bit. Maybe its my tolerance for pain or maybe it was the newer needles he has that hurt less? Regardless, I had a great experience. Everything is super professional and relaxed there. I highly suggest you come here for any ink that you may want. I'll be coming back for sure!
Review Source:Came in on a Monday night around 7:30, wanting to get my fingers tatted. I've been here before trying to get the same tattoo, but Billy refused to do it because it was looking out for the tattoo's future. Since finger tattoos don't look pretty for very long and wear a lot faster than tattoos on any other part of the body. He warned me plenty of times before actually giving me the tattoo since I wasn't backing down.
Pricing was great and the tattoo came out great. Billy had lots of patience with me because when it comes to tattoos, I'm the most pickiest person ever. I'm very detail oriented and he went back multiple times just fixing the parts that bothered me.
Thanks Billy!
My mom and I have been planning on getting a mother-daughter tattoo for a while and when we found New Generation not far from our house we checked it out. I met with Billy, the owner, and he helped me set the appointment and everything up so I could surprise my mom with it. A week later my family and I brought my mom in and surprised her. Billy took a lot of time to make our idea come to life and gave his opinon on what would look good and what wouldn't.
We highly recomend Billy and his shop because he was so helpful and made us feel comfortable especially since it was our first tattoo. He talks you through every step and keeps his shop extremely clean! The prices are resonable and the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming.
So just an update, they've got some brand new tools and it sounds as quiet as ever. You can practically fall asleep if it weren't for the "stinging" sensation of getting the tattoo!
If you're afraid of getting a tattoo based on the sound it makes, this is the place to go because it is very quiet.
Shao Linh was the perfect choice for getting my 18 year old son, Christopher, his first tattoo. After wanting a specific design for over one year, Shao Linh created a design for him that fit  his arm perfectly. I can't say enough about the artist. I would highly recommend anyone who has been afraid of getting hurt to go to him. Shao Linh has a light touch and glides over the skin. My son's tattoo never oozed blood the first night. Amazing!
Review Source:Came into this shop not knowing what I wanted. After spending a few hours with Billy and giving him ideas on what I wanted. he understood my style and drew up something I had in mind. The work he did was tremendous, lines were perfect and the coloring was spot on. Very vivid colors and the detail was as if the image is popping out at you. Billy is a great tattoo artist and he isn't there to yank your chain. The number one thing about it is that he listens to what you want, rather than other places that force what they think is right for you. Billy is a good listener and his skills translated well onto my skin.
Would definitely recommend this artist to anyone looking to get a piece on themselves. Best in town hands down.
Ok so I have been tattooed by Billy 4 times and he is simply amazing! I have been tattooed by a few people and no one is nearly as talented as Billy is. I recommend him to everyone that ask me about getting tattooed. He is a true artist and his touch is very gentle. I would strongly recommend you check out Billy as he is totally awesome!
Review Source:i got my last 2 tattoos done by Linh! He is super good! he takes his time, and makes sure its done right. he also has a really light hand so when your getting tated it dosnt feel like the dude is dragging a knief threw your side he is awesome i love my new tats i will never look else where.
first tat he covered up over a cover up and fixed it and made it look nice and clean
second tat he gave me a cross and a heart
love both of them!
also the staff working there are really chill i love the atmosphere!
Went in for a walk in tattoo (was referred by husband to this shop) with my sisters to get our sisterly tats.  They were very professional!  My tattoo artist Shao "Linh Ngo" was AWESOME!!!  Not only did he get my tat right, he had a light had and the experience was great!!!!  Thx Shao Linh!!!!!  Tiff  =0)
Review Source:I've known Shao Linh forever & there was nobody else who I would trust to do my Son's 1st tattoo. He had a sit down so my son could tell him what he wanted. He came up with an amazing tattoo for my son. He took his time explaining the process to me & my son since it had been a min since I had my last tattoo. Opened up everything in front of him to show how sterile it all was. Took his time with my son. No other place I would recommend. Shao Linh is working on several pieces for me. he is updating a piece on my back & I've given him total control. I can hardly wait.
It is best to make an appointment that is for sure.
My Boyfriend & I got our first tattoos here.
My Experience: I got a small outline, probably 4x4 inches at most on my shoulder blade of a paper crane (basically an outline). Linh was my tattoo Artist & he was very careful and showed a lot of urgency and attention to the fact that this is my first tattoo and i'm nervous & scared. He made sure i was comfortable, his work station was clean and i was done in a jiffy! I love my tattoo, and i would definitely recommend this place :)
My Boyfriend's Experience: My boyfriend got a more complicated piece, which he charged by the hour. It was a whole sleeve on his left leg of a tradition money frog piece. This piece was also completed by Linh and he was extremely down to earth & understanding of my boyfriend's needs and always asked if he needed a break during sessions.
Ambiance: This tattoo Parlor is fairly new and everything is very clean, even though it's completely run by guys. The restroom is nice & stocked and their work stations are very clean as well :) The staff are extremely wonderful, down to earth, friendly, and understanding of a customer's need! Plus, the environment is very clean w/ upbeat music to make everyone comfortable! What more can you ask for in a tattoo parlor? 5 stars! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)
This is one of my favorite tattoo parlors in town, a little hole in the wall place, i always drove by it and one day i deiced to to drop in to see whats its like, my buddy got his tattoo done by Billy , Great guy , easy to talk to very knowledgeable, pretty he knows what hes doing, i'm in the process of getting my 2nd piece done there by billy(turtle). The shop its self is very clean , machines are up to date, hes time on your work and the prices are reasonable,  he'll work with you. Overall i highly suggest if your considering   getting some art work done i would talk to anyone in that shop you wont regret it!  oh and also the after care he sell is legit too h2oceans heals it up fast . thought id throw that in there :)
Review Source:You know those shady, hole in the wall tattoo studios? The one you see in movies? The little gangster places you think of when you hear "tattoo parlor". Well toss that out the window, New Gen. Tattoo is anything but that.
Nice, clean, professional studio.
I walked in thinking it was a 5 star day spa. The only thing that gave it away was the beautiful art work on the walls, of really beautiful tattoos.
The owner, Billy, is a great guy to work with. I had a few pieces done by him and referred a few friends. No let down so far. Nice guy, doesn't rush you or anything. It's art ladies and gentlemen, he understands that. He also understands that it'll be apart of your body, far longer then what you had for lunch today.
I came in with a few ideas for my very first tattoo, SHOT DOWN. Well, not entirely, he told me that its nice ideas, but he revamped it into something so much better, basically he told me the style I wanted would be nice now, but down the line it'll bleed together and wont look nice. He knows his shit, and his shit be tattooing.
I always come back for more. Billy be the best.
Oh and ladies, sorry, he's married.
I am new California and have been looking for a new tattoo artist as mine is many miles away. I have very discerning tastes and have been adding to my body art for the better part of 20 years now.
I was so pleased to find this shop. I went in and met Linh. The first thing I noticed is that the shop is very clean and has a very comfortable environment. (Some tattoo salons have a draw to a rough crows, not this one.) This tattoo shop is attractive to the professional crowd and has a comfortable lounge area where my husband waited while I had my appt.
Linh was conscientious to my needs. He listened to all my requests and created an individual work of art. He did not rush through the process and checked with me frequently to make sure his vision matched mine.
Linh gave me a great deal on my tattoo which is a 5 X 5 arm tattoo or a chrysanthemum. My tattoo has several colors from yellow to red and a great deal of detail. Linh gave me great aftercare instructions and told me to call with any questions and come back in two weeks so he can check my tattoo and schedule for the leaves to be done.
Linh is such a professional artist that my husband was impressed (not an easy sell) and so he is scheduling work forthwith.
I will be returning to New Generation for all of my work. I am so pleased.
Got 2 tattoos done by Billy. He's one of the best artist in town, very easy going, took his time with his work. made sure that i LOVE the design. His skills are excellent. Got tons of compliments on my tattoos. The price is reasonable =) i would definitely go back to Billy if i decide to get more tattoos!!!
Review Source:Got my first tattoo yesterday from Billy and it turned out great. Great experience, new shop clean friendly staff working there. Billy is friendly easy going guy, took his time and kept me informed during the session. He doesn't book more than one or two appt per day so I felt he took his time to give me great tattoo. I would definitely recommend him and already have idea for my next Tattoo from Billy.
Review Source:Was referred here to billy by two different people. He is a easy going guy that is really easy to talk to. He dosent rush you or pressure you into anything. He will take his time to make sure you love your tattoo. My husband just recently started a new piece. He liked a few different sketches and billy actually took everything that he liked to make one whole new piece. He also free handed some of the parts of the tattoo to blend in with the rest of my husbands tattoo.
Great prices in a clean friendly enviornment. All the guys there are friendly and pretty much funny so it makes the time there go by so fast.
Would totally recommend everyone here!
It's a new location in a plaza which can be missed if you are not looking for it. It is right next to a hooka lounge and a salon.
They don't open until 1pm.
they are also baby friendly since we always take our newborn with us =D
