First time getting a tattoo and Shaun could not have made the process any easier! Â I came in a couple of times to talk through some ideas and Shaun was incredibly patient and informative each time. Â The store itself was very clean and nicely decorated, not at all grungy like some other places I've seen.
Then when I finally made the decision to go for it, I was so happy...no...lets make that estatic about the design he created incorporating the ideas I had. Â
While I was getting the tattoo, both Shaun and Eva were very comforting as I was a big baby during the tattooing. Â
I love my tattoo and will most definitely be back if I decide to get another one!!!!
If you decide to come here, be sure to ask for Shaun Kyle.
I've been getting tattooed by Grizzly Joe for about ten years. When I was 19 he did a slick Where The Wild Things Are half sleeve (which was my first tattoo). He stayed true to the original artwork, paid attention to all the line work details and seemed to really enjoy his job. It's really important to feel comfortable with the person who is going to put something permanent on your body and I always felt good vibes from Joe.
I live in Downtown San Diego and am totally willing to make the hour long drive to get work done.
The shop itself is great. I feel like I can really trust the taste level of all the artists. When you walk in, each artist has some of their original art and paintings in their work area. The place is clean (which you would expect but can't always count on with other places). The owner is a total character and was entertaining in her own right.
I'll post pictures of an example of Joe's line work so you can check it out.
Easily a 5 star review...
Sea Hag Tattoo Parlour is not only really well decorated (no dungeon-esque tattoo parlour here), but it is bright and clean. The waiting area is comfortable, all the stations were uncluttered, and even the restroom is obviously well cared for.
The artists are all amiable, and when I first spoke with her about my tattoo idea, Eva did not hesitate to let me know the piece I wanted done was better suited to Joe's artistry. In other words, I didn't feel like she was simply trying to make money off me.
Joe created my forearm tattoo from reference photos I shared with him, and the art is spectacular! During the session, both he and Shaun were friendly and kind and patient with all my nervous jabbering. They kept me engaged in conversation so I didn't have to think about the rapid needles stabbing my arm, and my four hour session went by quickly because of this. Joe was very thorough in his cleanliness, as well, changing out gloves any time he handled anything other than his tattoo gun and my arm, and he was very patient with me when I needed a break.
I am only two days out from my session, and already my forearm is getting admiring looks. I wish I had grabbed some business cards to keep on me, but I WILL be letting anyone who asks know that I had it done at Sea Hag by Joe.
You definitely get what you pay for when you choose a tattoo parlour and artist, and the artists at Sea Hag are totally worth your money. As long as Sea Hag is in my area, I will most assuredly be back.
Yesterday was my second visit to Sea Hag Tattoo, and I know this is the beginning of a long relationship with them. Both of my Tats were done by Eva, and I can honestly say she knows her art. I knew exactly what I wanted, but not sure of the colors. She created my calf tat of a mermaid Spot On! Â I couldn't have pictured "her" as Gorgeous as she turned out. Thank You Eva for your time consulting me on the best colors to make her truly original. Â I hope you don't mind, I named her "Eva". Â
I can't wait to make my next appointment. I already know what I want. The shop is decorated so cool, you have a feeling of being in an old time ship. Eva has created a unique atmosphere for her Artists as well as the clientele. I have several tats and have been in many shops, Â at Sea Hag Tattoo... I'm impressed with the service, the cleanliness, the interaction between the Artists and the prices.
Thanks for the great experience.
Got the first part of my half sleeve today by Eva. I have several tattoos already and I must say that this was the most professional and clean shop I've been in. The environment was comfortable and the artists were all really cool and laid back. Eva did an amazing job on my tat and I can't wait to come back and finish my piece. Highly recommend for veterans of tats and newbies.
Review Source:I'm going to assume that you're checking out this page because you need a tattoo and/or a piercing, well let me tell you something, Sea Hag Tattoo Parlour is top notch.
All your basic requirements are in place: clean, sterile, professional. Honestly, those are essential, why would you even chance your health for anything less?
I've never had a piercing performed there, so I can't speak to that, however I have had several tattoos done by Joe. When I decided what I wanted for my latest piece, I contacted Joe and suggested "an elephant". He was totally down with that. I went about collecting source images and after some thinking started adding elements of a trip to Thailand. Joe was able to brilliantly incorporate all of my desired design elements into a magnificent piece of custom art. After 3 separate sittings, I've got one badass new tattoo!
There are hundreds of tattoo shops in San Diego, I assure you that I wouldn't bother to drive up to Temecula for a tattoo if it wasn't flat out worth it. So if you're in the market for a new or possibly your first tattoo, I'd seriously consider heading to Sea Hag. I know I'll be back up that way when I can convince my wife that she needs her first tattoo.
My review will be primarily for Shaun Kyle and then for Sea Hag Tattoo Parlour.
I have traveled long distances to be tattooed by Shaun. I was very happy to visit him at his new home at Sea Hag Tattoo...
Shaun is the best tattoo artist I've ever met.. for multiple reasons.
He is clean and sanitary... seems like a necessity and a norm, but you'd be surprised how many people will answer the phone with their glove on or remove their glove, drop it on the floor and PUT IT BACK ON... ugh! Shaun is clean. He upholds the highest standards for sanitation and hygiene. He throws away every glove he takes off! Sea Hag provides an awesome and clean station and shop for artists.
Shaun listens and helps create your ideal tattoo. He is honest and helpful while completing the idea before tattooing you. Â He has tattooed some crazy and challenging pieces on me... all the while being upfront with his abilities (he's very modest) and the likely outcome of complex ideas.
Shaun is a true artist. He puts his heart into every piece of art he does. He works hard and is always open to learning more to better his skill. Â I have had the pleasure of watching him grow for many years now... all of my tattoos by him still impress me and all the folks who see them.
Shaun is also very kind and an amazing conversationalist. He is funny and can keep you entertained while beating away at your skin. Â
Sea Hag Tattoo was a very comfortable and inviting place. Â I look forward to coming back for more and more and more tattoos!
Go get tattooed!!!
I actually went around to a few tattoo shops in the Temecula/Murrieta area (for months) because I wanted to find a place and an artist that I felt completely comfortable with. I came across this place when driving to a friend's house, so I looked up reviews on Yelp... saw quite a bit of good... and decided to check it out.
I was sold when I walked in and looked through the three portfolios. I noticed that each artist had beyond amazing talent. All of them -- Joe, Shaun, and Eva -- were so friendly/mellow. I felt super comfortable, especially with this being my first tattoo. Joe was the artist I chose, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results. Hopefully I will get to work with the other artists, as well. I definitely recommend this place. They are awesome.
Thank you, Joe and Sea Hag. I'll see you guys again.
A friend and I were visiting the area and found Sea Hag Tattoo Parlour on Yelp with great reviews. Â They took us in with out an appointment to get a couple small tattoos. Â My first impression of the shop was that it was very clean, and we were greeted with welcoming smiles. I came in knowing what I wanted, but I didn't have anything printed out. Â Joe went on the internet and found me exactly what I was asking for, and matched it to a design I already had in mind. Â My friend came in knowing exactly what she wanted with only a question on placement. Â Joe helped answer this question right away. Â He prepped the station and even set it up so I could sit with my friend while she got her tattoo and vice-versa. Â Everyone in the shop talked while we were getting tattoos, they had us in stitches (laughing very hard) the whole time. Â They are very friendly and welcoming people. Â The prices were just right as well. Â We liked them so much, we went back a couple of hours later to get more tattoos :o) Â Eva even ran an errand for Joe so he could stay and tattoo us again. Â Now, that is a family! Â We walked away from this place feeling very accommodated, and satisfied with the whole experience as well as our tattoos. Â I definitely recommend this Parlour along with all of the artists even though Joe was the one we worked closely with.
Review Source:I cannot recommend Sea Hag Tattoo Parlour enough. Â I went in with a specific design for my tattoo, but was admittedly a little nervous, seeing as how this was my first time getting "inked". Â The artist Joe, couldn't have been friendlier, or more professional.
Any misgivings I may have had prior to entering the shop, were immediately alleviated, and in the end, my expectations were exceeded beyond belief! Â This decision I made to get a tattoo is one of permanence, so thank you to Joe and Sea Hag, for making this a regret free, and absolutely delightful experience.
I am very satisfied with the work I got done here from Eva! Very detailed tattoo and she did an awesome job taking my " ideas" and incorporated them all into the tatto PERFECTLY. I really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. Can't say I enjoyed the actual tattooing, (still waiting for the tennis shoes) but the results are well worth it. Definitely if looking for a tattoo in the Temecula area, this is definitely a place to check out. Thanks Eva for the beautiful work!
Review Source:Yes, this is now my place to get my ink and holes! Finally a nice clean a comfy shop!I've had as much fun here as you can have while getting tattoo'd. The artist I've dealt with (Eva and Joe) worked with me to get exactly what I wanted, and want. And I'm looking forward to someday working with the other artist Shawn. They all make for a good time. And for the quality of work, hospitality and the nice clean shop, the prices are great too. I look forward to going back. Any one looking for some ink or piercing/s should give this shop a look see. As You will likely stop looking for the right shop, after visiting Sea Hag.
Review Source:This is, by far, the best new tattoo shop in the area! Eva is an amazing artist with a long history in the industry. I've had work done by Eva and by Britta, both are exceptional artists, and give very personal and caring attention to their customers. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants more ink, as well as to first timers!
Review Source:I have been getting tattooed by Eva for over 20 years now. I have followed her from one tattoo shop to the next, and I have to say; she has really gone all out to make Sea Hag Tattoo the nicest one she has ever worked in! All of her efforts in putting this shop together have paid off, because it is just beautiful in there! She has surrounded herself with three other great artists, to make Sea Hag Tattoo the place to go in Temecula for a the primo tattoo experience!
Review Source:Had an awesome experience at Sea Hag Tattoo. The place looked and felt great with a really cool nautical theme. The artists were super nice not like most tattoo places and the prices are actually reasonable. I got quoted twice as much somewhere else for a smaller tattoo with less detail. Britta, my tattoo artist was super cool and my tattoo is amazing! It hasn't even completely healed yet and I'm already getting tons of compliments on it. I've been tattooed by different artists all over the west and I have to say by far this is the best place! I'm going in for another one from Britta this week!
Review Source:Eva is the best tattoo artist I have ever gotten a tattoo from. I have a bunch of tattoos, some good, some bad, but the ones I am most proud of are the ones that she has done for me. She has even added new life to some of my old, bland tattoos. I have a tattoo on my leg that she did 17 years ago and the colors are still amazing. This new shop is really awesome also. Big, new, clean, and fun! Go check it out!
