Old Glory Tattoo

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  I've gotten a few tattoos by Matt and they turned out great!  (details on the tats further below if you're interested).
  
  Old Glory Tattoo, his shop, is a chill place to get work done.  I love the design of the shop and always feel at ease when I'm there.  It's always super clean, which is something everyone should look for and value in a tattoo shop.  Matt is laid back and makes sure you are comfortable as he proceeds throughout the tattoo process.  He takes the time to carefully create the design first, then will discuss the design, size and placement with you before laying ink to skin.  
  
  Matt works by appointment only, so make sure you call ahead to discuss your idea with him and book your appointment.
  
  My tattoo details if you're curious:
  
  - First was a specific design which I requested he make a replica of, it is an 8-bit style video game design which is pretty tedious and difficult to pull off, needless to say it turned out perfect!  
  
  - The second tattoo is in progress: a calf sleeve of a colorful phoenix in traditional Japanese style.  For this one I wanted to give Matt more creative freedom and my only instructions were the subject (phoenix) and location (calf sleeve).  It is nearly done and I'm loving how it is turning out, tons of detail and beautiful color arrangement.  I'll post pics once it is complete.

  Been going to Ben Miller for years and he does an amazing job every time.  I'm not very artistic at all and he takes my rough ideas and turns them into great pieces of art.  The shop is great.  Very clean and inviting.  I would highly recommend anyone check this place out and you will not be disappointed.

  Matt is a very talented tattoo artist who always gives me a great piece of art. Works with your ideas and makes it fit you. He was my first tattoo artist an he'll be mine as long as he keeps working! Recommend to everyone!!

  So out of all my tattoos few have any real meaning. I decided to have Matt at Old Glory Tattoo one of the meaningful ones. He did an amazing, I mean amazing job on my nieces name. The spot sucked but he talked me through it and made me feel ridiculously comfortable. I now call him "The Tattoo Whisperer". Amazing tattoo artist, great shop. Highly Highly recommend.

  AVOID this place at all costs. First the owner Matt cancels on me last minute. Against my better judgement I re-scheduled.
  
  -Appointment was at 5, took off work early to get there on time.
  -He said it would take around 20 minutes to sterilize the work area (What?! You knew you had an appt why didn't you do this earlier?)
  -I sat inside and waited for him for an hour until he asked what I wanted (When I already submitted pictures).
  -He takes another hour to draw up the artwork
  -His drunk friends stop by the shop while he's working and he stops, chats with them and leaves the client still waiting.
  -Starts on tattoo at 7 p.m (remember appt was at 5 p.m.)
  -Shaky outline work as he had an uneven hand
  
  Overall bleepy (rhymes with schmitty) experience and would not recommend. This sucks too because a lot of my friends knew what I was getting and were going to visit this place to get a tattoo based on my experience. Based on what I got he charged $150 an hour.
  
  If you look at his portfolio it looks good and based on his drunken friends words he would be nice to you if you were his friend. Which leads me to believe friends with this guy means you'll get respect and the effer will be on time and second of all give you a positive tattoo experience.
  
  Hopefully the next person reads this yelp review and thinks twice.

  I have gone to Matt's new guy, Ben Miller, for several tattoos.  The guy does phenomenal work, and the atmosphere at the shop is great.  I will continue to have Ben do all my work from here on out!
  
  In addition, I've watched Matt on several occasions and his work is top notch.  There is no other place to go for a tattoo in Orange County.

  I had a horrible tat.  I met Matt Cornfed.  He made my tattoo into a piece of art.  This guy is the real deal.  Super nice, super clean place.  Great conversation.  I get compliments now when before people felt sorry for me.

  Where to begin. First met Matt about 7 years ago when he worked at Aces High and have been devoted to him ever since. His new shop is spacious and uber swanky! Matt is a stand up guy and is truly an impressive artist. I love looking at his sketches and have even chosen a piece that was sitting at his desk once. Can't even remember what I originally came in for! ( I chose a beautiful day of the dead pin up ) I have traditional American pieces and they don't look lik stickers or flash from the wall. All my pieces look very unique and vibrant. I absolutely love my tattoos and get compliments all the time. I am looking forward to our next appointment for my back and just know the end product will be stunning. Thanks Matt for all you do and see ya soon!!!

  I may not be the world's authority on tattoos but one thing I do know is that Matt "Cornfed" Wheeler of Old Glory is one amazing artist.  "Artist" is the key word here because he is one in every sense of the word; skin just happens to be his canvas.  I have one of his pieces of work on my body and I am lucky enough to own three original pieces that hang on my wall.
  
  There is only one tattoo shop in Placentia and this is the only one they will ever need. If you want great work done by guys that are true artists then go here.  You will not be sorry!
  
  PS - Matt's portraits are amazing!!!!!!
