I just went to get my second tattoo done here a few days ago--what a positive experience! Tattoo is clean, elegant writing, took less than an hour from sketch to completed tattoo; it's now healing great. The shop had a really modern feel to it, Joel was very respectful and calming, 'n the whole thing was a totally positive experience.
Oh, and the best part--that tattoo would have cost twice as much money at Zebra.
Seriously. If you're looking for the best tattoo place in the area, hands down, this is it.
I'm already planning my next tattoo. I will absolutely be returning here to get it.
I would give this place WAY more than 5 stars if I could! Â Lourdes did all 3 of my tattoos and I'm telling everyone to go in there! Â She is very detailed, takes her time, you feel comfortable having her work on you and the shop is super clean. Â What more do you need? Â Old Faithful rocks!!!
Review Source:My friend and I woke up one day and decided, we should get another tattoo. We yelped nearby shops in the concord area and Old Faithful popped up. We got there before the owners (women and man) arrived. They both greeted us and directed us to the room on the right when we first walk in. Both of us decided to get quotes as tattoos. I wasn't sure what kind of font or the placement of the tattoo should be. The lady let me skim through the Internet to find the font I desired. The artist gave me this vibe where I was taking too long and I felt really rushed. It wasn't like she had customers waiting either. When I figured out which font and placement, she put it not to my liking. I requested to have the sketch replaced on my body. she let out a sigh* (like she was annoyed or having a bad day). I got up and told her, "I don't feel comfortable getting something permanent on my body if the artist is being rude, unprofessional, and impatient."
I'm so thankful I left and didn't spend my money at this place. The man that was next door to her room was really nice though. I most likely will not come back to this place nor recommend it to anyone.
