“Miguel is a great artist and communicates very well! Definitely recommend coming here and getting work done especially if it’s your first time getting a tattoo!“

“I went to Classic Tattoo today for the Mother’s Day Flash tattoo sale.I got 2 tattoos and Will did a fantastic job as always.That’s why I keep going to him.Thank you again Will I love both of my tattoos“

“Chuck is a damn artist. I came in with this idea in my head—something meaningful to me—and somehow, he just got it. No over-explaining, no second-guessing… he took what I was envisioning and made it even better than I could’ve imagined. It felt like he saw what I was thinking before I could even fully explain it.

The vibe was laid-back, professional, and real. You can tell Chuck puts his heart into every piece he does. He’s already done work for my fiancé’s friends and family, and now I see why everyone trusts him. There’s just something about his style, his energy, and the way he connects that makes you feel like you’re in the right chair with the right person.

This won’t be my last tattoo from Chuck. Not even close.“

“I got tatted by Nikki she did a great job and everyone working was super nice I recommended this place to some friends“

“I cannot recommend Elaine enough! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable and confident in the process. She took her time mapping out my brows, listened to exactly what I wanted, and gave me her professional guidance to make sure the shape and color were absolutely perfect for my face.

The results are incredible. My brows look natural, symmetrical, and beautifully defined. It has completely transformed my look and saved me so much time getting ready each day. Elaine is not only highly skilled, but also so warm and caring. You can tell she truly loves what she does and wants her clients to leave feeling their best.

If you’ve been on the fence about microblading, go see Elaine, you will not regret it!“

“I had a great experience! I had gotten my septum pierced here they were very gentle and quick with it! 10/10 recommend“

“The owner does a really good job on tattoos and I would recommend him and the shop to anyone“

“So happy with how it came out. Originally had a simple cross and my prior tattoo artist made it a bit uneven. Tony not only fixed the cross to make it even, but he was kind to allow me to choose something to add in addition to the cross (with no additional charge), and I chose a minimalist butterfly. Minimum cost is $80 and it was worth the price because Tony took his time with perfecting the design and altering it to my liking. Tony was very patient and kind to change the design when I wasn’t feeling it. Environment was very clean and Tony straight up showed me the needle in its sterile packaging. Definitely something every customer wants to make sure of, that they’re going to a place that’s clean to prevent contamination. Overall, amazing job from Tony and I will only be going to the City of Angels for any tattoo I get after this.“

“I had Nicole for my first ever tattoo; she was so amazing! She made me feel so relaxed and helped calm my nerves. She was so friendly and extremely gentle and quick while tattooing; she allowed us to pick the music that played while she tattooed. She did an amazing job on my tattoo I love it. We absolutely loved her I will be going back to her! KEEP HER FOREVER!!!“

“I absolutely loveeeee it here!! Jess does the most fantastic work. the atmosphere is amazing and always good vibes. i’ve had 3 pieces done by jess and they look beautiful❤️‍?“

“I had an excellent experience at this tattoo shop from start to finish. The space was incredibly clean, professional, and had a relaxing vibe with great music playing.

Smiley was my artist and he was very easy going and did not rush through the process. I felt comfortable the entire time. What really stood out was how much care he put into the design. He even took the time to consult with other artists in the shop to get their input, which shows how dedicated they all are to their craft.

His talent is truly amazing. He transformed a very dark tribal sun tattoo into a beautiful, vibrant cover-up—you honestly wouldn’t believe it was a cover-up unless you had seen the original.

Before this, I also got a small fine line tattoo done by Lia, and that turned out just as beautifully.

They also have an artist who specializes in permanent makeup, which I’m really interested in trying in the future.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experiences here, and I’m already looking forward to going back!“

“I had such a great experience at Orpheus Tattoo. The shop was clean, welcoming, and had such a relaxed vibe from the moment I walked in. Devin did an incredible job on my flower tattoo; the detail, shading, and pops of color are absolutely beautiful. You can really tell how much pride they take in their work and how much they care about making sure you’re comfortable and happy with the final result.

I’ve gotten so many compliments already, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a talented artist who brings your vision to life, I highly recommend Devin and the team at Orpheus! ?“

“my mom and i have been coming to this shop for a few years now and everyone who works here is amazing! Savannah helped me get my nose & belly piercings back in after surgery - she was so sweet and has such a friendly vibe so she was super easy to talk to and banter with. Joe usually does my mom’s tattoos but I’ve sat with her while she got them done and he’s such a cool guy man. We got to vibe to music downstairs and yap about random stuff. The name of the shop is very fitting lol I always feel great leaving. Everyone has a great head on their shoulders and always ensure you’re comfortable. Y’all are great never change who y’all are!! ?“

“It was amazing!! Everybody was so nice and my piercer, Gonzo, was very extremely understand and calm. It was super enjoyable experience!!!“

“Absolutely the best place around. The entire team there is phenomenal. Besides having incredibly talented artists there, it's an amazing environment. Its not one of those pretentious shops. It's legitimately an enjoyable time everytime I'm there. I have some work done by majority of the artists there, so you really can't go wrong, but Greg is who's been helping me get my sleeves done. No matter who you choose, you know you'll get clean, excellent work at extremely fair prices. Got ideas? They'll draw up something amazing. There's someone there that can do what you need regardless of style. Do yourself a favor and go to Monks. It's easier to get it done right the first time than to have to get something fixed.“
