I absolutely loved it here! I came in today for a bear head by Emily & it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. Everyone here was so friendly & accomodating. When I started to not feel good during the process I was given a can of coke, some gum & they turned on the fan for me. I've never had such a great experience at a shop. I will 100% come back here.

First tattoo at Handmade, 17th tattoo over all. I was impressed by Pop's work I had seen online and made an appointment. The booking process was easy, well communicated and fast. The studio itself is very well curated with antiques and has a great classic Americana vibe to it. Day of the appointment Pops was prepared, super nice and chill, very professional and clean. He has a super light touch while still maintaining integrity of the tattoo. His work came out fantastic, fair priced, and had great laughs along the way. The healing process is going great as well. Can't wait to be a repeat customer.

Handmade Tattoo is the best! I will only get tattooed here. Pops did my olive branch tattoo about 2 years ago and recently did some dainty little ladies on my husband. They both turned out perfect. The employees here are serious about their cleanliness, which I really appreciate and find very professional. He's super experienced and never disappoints! They are thorough with aftercare and prices are very reasonable/worth it. The inside of the shop is crazy cool, decorated with unique thrift store finds, antiques, and flea market goodies. I can't recommend this place enough. Their talent, authenticity, and professionalism really do make it Santa Paula's first... read full review
