“To say I LOVE is an understatement, I’m obsessed with it, and this meant so much to me I’m so thankful that Brenton was able to see my vision he was so patient and took his time, it looks so pretty :)

I will definitely be coming again ❤️“

“Great attention to detail and creativity. Will be recommending Tony to friends and family! ?“

“Super cute studio, really clean with a lot of natural light. I got a flash tattoo with Anna Schafer and it was a really great experience. She made me feel super comfortable and welcomed. We changed the stencil a bunch of times to make absolutely sure it was perfect. Probably my favourite experience getting a tattoo.“

“Where do I even begin? Klarissa absolutely exceeded my expectations when it came to permanent brows! My eyebrows are really tricky so I know I was giving her a challenge from the start but she effortlessly killed it. This was the most life changing thing I have done in recent memory!! Klarissa and everyone at Cyprus are so sweet and talented and accommodating! 11/10 would recommend“

“Jason was awesome. Great artist and a really interesting guy to talk with while getting inked.“

“Artists Lindsey & Vanessa were very helpful, attentive & easy to talk to about what I wanted & gave great suggestions. Will definitely be going back once I figure out my next Tat“

“Genuinely such a great place. Me and my friend went to get matching tattoos and it was our very first time (we were so nervous) however we were helped by Irene who was such a welcoming and supportive artist who ensured we were very comfortable the entire process. Truly a great experience and I would definitely recommend to any beginner looking for a welcoming environment and affordable tattoo!“

“Beyond 5 stars for my brow experience with Elsa! For context, I never write reviews (my bad…I should) and Elsa never asked for a review. That’s worth something. Despite my initial concerns about pain and not knowing the outcome, Elsa made me feel completely at ease and delivered results far beyond expectations. Elsa’s warmth and professionalism are unmatched, and I couldn't be happier.“

“Legitimately amazing vibe in here. Talented artists, lovely music selection, and the owner was really nice to talk to too. Shoutout my guest artist, Mente!“

“My best friend and I wanted to get matching tattoos to commemorate our 40+year dream to drive cross country and stay in the redwoods. We finally did it last year, along with our husbands and her son. Tattoo Boulevard made it possible for us to do it while she was in town, and Bill, our tattoo artist, adjusted our picture to add one more tree (five trees to represent the five of us). Bill did an excellent job, and was genuinely interested in the significance of the tattoo for us, and our trip. We are doing the Route 66 road trip next year, and will be coming to Tattoo Boulevard for our tattoos to commemorate that trip. So glad these two senior citizens found both the place and the artist who know how meaningful tattoos are, and craft the perfect one. I smile every time I look at it.

Cleanliness: The studio was very clean and Bill took great care in keeping it that way.

Stylist: Bill was our stylist, and he was awesome. He took great care to make sure our tattoos were exactly what we envisioned and that the placement was perfect. Bill was also very personable and fun to talk with during the process.“

“This is place is sick. The staff was really chill and the shop has insane amounts of tats to choose from. Big s/o to Kiki for bringing my vision to life and laying down to some amazing line work on my tattoo. It was my first time getting ink in years and will definitely be coming back soon. Thanks again!“

“The first time tattooed, Louis B. covered my wrist. I'm super happy with the results as well as the healing process. I was scared about having permanent ink on me for the rest of my life. I have zero regrets and could not be happier with the finished product. Would highly recommend…getting bombarded with positive feedback. It's flatteringServices: Fine line tattoos“

“They were professional and courteous with my piercing. if I have one minor quibble it is that they only accept cash.“

“Full sleeve from Rob and he did a great job. Some was clean skin, some cover up, and some refresh involved, all of looks fantastic.“

“Brian and staff are very friendly and take the time to work with you on your designs. During my visit never had a bad experience with the way they work. Good talent and very professional about their art work. Highly recommended and very reasonable.“

“Jay did an amazing job with my daughter tattoo. He took his time and he has great communication skills. He made her feel comfortable during the whole process. He did a great job with my cover up as well. I will be back again. He is top tier“

“I had a mixed experience at this shop and wanted to share my honest opinion because it didn't match how they represent themselves or what these other reviews say.Good: My tattoos came out great. I'm especially happy with my snake tattoo, which is exactly what I imagined.Not so good: I wanted some slight tweaks on my second tattoo and the artist was kinda rude about it. They were very clearly annoyed about having to adjust the design that was gonna go on my body forever. I only asked for changes to the sparkles around the design, so I feel like it would have been VERY easy to ask me some questions and show some different options, but they made the whole thing feel like such an inconvenience.I ended up with a design I like, but didn't appreciate the artist's attitude and it was disappointing since this shop bills itself as a super welcoming space. I think an inexperienced person would have been pressured into just accepting it. Putting a design on your body permanently (and paying a lot for it) is a big deal for most people, so I wish they'd be more understanding of that.“

“I saw Ally for my first larger visibility tattoo where I asked her to design a Holly branch. She did such a phenomenal job - it completely exceeded my expectations from what I originally envisioned. The healing process went incredibly smoothly as well. I am blown away by her artistic ability and handiwork with the tattooing. I can’t stop looking at it. She’s a true artist - I could not recommend her more! Would certainly go back to her for any tattoos in the future!“

“This is now the 3rd piece I've done with Joe, and he is an absolute legend. He is a perfectionist, does such beautiful fine line work, and is really a master of his craft. The studio is beautiful and peaceful. I honestly don't trust anyone but Joe to do this type of detail work. I read through the other comments on here, and regarding the 1-star reviews, this has never been my experience. All I can say is that Joe is wildly creative, he has a process and a vision. You go to Joe because of his style and his expertise in his style. You give him direction, but you trust that he knows best what's going to work. He has the vision you won't necessarily see or understand. I show him pics as inspiration, we talk about my like/dislikes, then I let him go and do his thing. That's what I'm paying him for! I'm not bringing in a design and asking him to copy it. You don't go to someone like Joe for that. You go to Joe bc you love his work and trust that you're going to get a design that is unique and specific to you. I've never been disappointed after 3 pieces, and I have plans to go back for 2 more. His current pricing at $250/hr is 100% worth it and reasonable. He's been tattooing for a long time and is a pro.“

“Darryl is an outstanding artist & was able to give me exactly what I wanted. HOOYAH SHIPMATE ???‍☠️“

“I cannot say enough good things about Dawn! She is kind, patient, and talented. Her shop is welcoming and calming. I felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time, even though I was nervous since I got my first tattoo in over 6 years. I would recommend Dawn to anyone! If you’re looking for an artist who is skilled and genuinely cares about her craft, Dawn is the perfect choice.“

“Amanda was amazing. It was my first time getting a tattoo and I was very nervous. She was not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable but made sure I understood the process and precautions taken to ease my mind, and was not only approachable and easy to talk to, but highly communicative. She's a very versatile and talented artist, and worked very patiently with me to get the design and placement to look perfect. I love my tattoo and am glad I had the opportunity to work with her!“

“I absolutely love this shop I have 5 tattoos from them and they never disappoint. Adrian and Andrew are amazing artists and really take care of their customers! I HIGHLY recommend this shop!!!“

“Jeremy could not be nicer, accommodating me and my family for a late night walk-in - thank you Jeremy !!“

“Our artist is Garrett and he's absolutely amazing. A true artist for sure with a strong attention to detail and an absolute perfectionist. We've had a few pieces done by him and my husband and I couldn't be happier. The rest of the guys are also amazing and are now part of our family. Pony, Raf, Tom and Gary are all brilliant artists and just a lot of fun to be around. The environment is so welcoming and chill.“
