California Electric Tattoo Parlour

May 2019

I came here a few years ago back when Corey Buck was an artist here. He was finishing a half-sleeve for my friend and I wanted a small wrist piece (an eye of Horus) for when he was done. Corey gave me exactly what I wanted and was kind and professional in the process. This was my sixth tattoo, Corey being my 5th tattoo artist. Wrist tattoos are notoriously difficult because there is so much movement of the skin in that area (like fingers or feet). So far, it's held up well and I have a great vibe for the shop in general. I'm considering returning for another piece with one of the artists that remain.

I've been getting Tattooed for over 50 years. In the past, I have either gone over the hill, or got them while I was out of the area. I just had Thad do one for me, and it turned out awesome! I didn't even have to leave my hometown which made it even better. My first experience with Thad was great, and I'm sure I'll be returning. Look forward to my next one right here in Soquel. Thanks Thad!

California Electric is one of my favorite tattoo shops! I've driven all the way from the East Bay to get tattooed here. I have four tattoos from Stefan and one from Herb. All of the artists here are super talented and put out outstanding traditional/neo-traditional work. They're really friendly and the shop has a great vibe to it. Highly recommended!
