My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary at Disneyland but wanted to end the night getting tattoos together. Kind of random, I know! I did a Google search for local tattoo shops and came across Torch Tattoo, which was only a mile from our hotel. After reading the consistent excellent reviews, especially for Justin Warn, I had a really good feeling about this place. I browsed through each artists photos and Justin's work really stood out to me. We called the shop to see if he had any availability that day, since we were heading home the next morning. We were told that he was completely booked but that they would ask him if he could fit us in later that night, since they knew we were from out of town. We figured we wouldn't hear from them again, but to our surprise, we got a call back about an hour later. Justin was very accomodating and squeezed us both in after his last appointment late that night! How's that for customer service?
When we arrived, we noticed how clean and well kept the shop is. Justin greeted us and let us know he was finishing up his last appointment, which we appreciated. I went first and immediately felt comfortable and confident that my tattoo would turn out well...and it sure did!! I got a small fleur de lis on my wrist and it looks amazing; perfect lines and shading and beautiful detail. My husband redid his tattoo of 12 years and we couldn't believe the difference! It looked amazing as well!
Justin is an exceptional artist, a good person with a relaxed and cool personality and is very dedicated to his work. It was a pleasure hanging out with him during the 4 hours we were there. He worked on us until after 2:00 a.m. to accommodate us since we were leaving the next day. That really says something! We hope for the continued success and growth of Justin and his business!
Justin Warn is amazing!! All the guys in the shop are great and they make you feel so comfortable--no matter where your getting ink. Justin's work is impeccable! He has such an attention to detail and really listens to you to make sure you get exactly what you want!! If care about what goes on your body and if you have high standards for your tattoo then this is the place to go. I have not been tattooed by Kyle but I have seen his work and it is just as amazing! Justin also has a very light hand and that makes the healing process sooo much nicer!!
Review Source:OMG, wanted to get tat today, so called this place to ask if I could walk in...was told they dont do walk ins, need consult first and could not make appt over phone. so no appt over phone, no walk ins and must have consult first. Â Tat in mnd is two words on my wrist,,,very easy, but they could not help. Ended up going somewhere else.
Review Source:Eric Jones moved from Gold Rush in Newport/Costa Mesa to this shop in Anaheim. He travels a decent bit and does most of his work by referral. He can do this, most likely because he has a loyal base of customers- and rightly so. He has done 4 tattoos on my right arm and his work in black and white is incredible. He'll take a piece you like and play with it to make it look good. He's not pushy- but will give good advice. Very cool guy that is laid back. I haven't had anyone else work on me- but seeing other work, his is superb. Make an appointment- send him some artwork or meet him at the shop. Don't go cheap on tattoos- Eric is 'affordable' by comparison to other good artists- but his work is well worth it.
Review Source:Eric Jones is the best! His color, lines and shading are like no other! This shop is the best, there is no lame walks or random foot traffic. Just artist working so it very easy and comfortable to get tattooed there. All the staff is nice and knowledgeable, no cool guy attitudes here.
Review Source:After seeing the amazing work Kyle Crowell did on my friend's sleeve, I knew I wanted to come to Torch for my first tattoo, which I had been anxiously planning and putting off for going on seven years.
From the moment I walked into the shop--which is bright, open and clean--Kyle went out of his way to make me feel welcome and calm my jittery nerves. When it came to the tattoo design, he really took the time to collaborate with me and make sure it matched my vision, testing out different sketches and placements. Once I was on the table, I knew I was in good hands--Kyle just makes you feel so chill and relaxed, and we talked about everything from video games to Disney during my almost three-hour session.
Best of all, the finished product is even more awesome than I had hoped, sharp and colorful and distinctive, and it healed beautifully. I absolutely love my tattoo (and I get compliments on it all the time) and couldn't have asked for a better first time experience!
Eric Jones is Amazing!!!!  I have been going to him for years and get compliments all the time.  He is the master.  I have never seen color look so bright before.  He is not only an amazing tattoo artist but an incredible painter as well.  He just moved to this shop from Gold Rush Tattoo in Costa Mesa. Everyone here was super friendly and made me feel right at home.  He has very reasonable prices and is a total sweetheart. You can see some of his work on his website: <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.palehorsetattoo.com%2Fsite%2Fpalehome3.html&s=39ac794414753fac7d3a0a98848830e4ec4e99ed1b7c12ebba4450b87b079bf4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.palehorsetatt…</a>
Review Source:I started on my half sleeve exactly a year ago with Kyle. Despite my constant hesitation and OCD, he was patient and understanding the whole way.
Not only does his work speak for itself, he is just a rad dude after my own heart. We talk about comics, music and movies and the hours just fly by! The shop is immaculately clean and always comfortable. Plus, Justin and Kyle are cool about me connecting to their iTunes from my phone and choosing the music :P.
Now onto the art! Kyle executed my vision to the t. It's colorful and fun (just like me!) and I couldn't be happier with it. I receive compliments and get stopped by folks to see. I hope he knows that he's stuck with me as a customer for years to come!
