Jesse Hernandez is the absolute worst. He's a liar and an a**hole who can't even keep his promises. When I saw his artwork online, I thought he was amazing. When I looked up his profile, I thought he was a chill guy. Ha! Don't believe everything you see on the internet kids. Seriously, the butthole is so desperate for money he lies about when he'll give it back, then ignores you when the day comes. I originally asked him for a back tattoo. He told me his price, $150 an hour. But he wanted $300 upfront. Just to make sure I'd show. I said cool. But he claimed he didn't know how long it would take to complete. He said he'd only do realism, which is totally understandable. So I sent him a phoenix which he seemed happy to do. The next day, he confirms it was a phoenix but wasn't happy about the hibiscus flower at the end. So we agreed to remove it. Fast fowarding: we got into a bit of a disagreement. I simply wanted the tattoo from the picture and he wasn't too happy about it but agreed. On the day before the tattoo he told me to bring cash. I told him idk how much to bring because he never said how long it would take. He claimed I'd be there 11+ hours. Something that should have been said the first day we spoke. I said, I couldn't afford it and he was UPSET!. He claimed I wasted his time and that I should have thought about my budget before coming to him. I knew it was going to be about $800, maybe $1000 but not $2000+. He went on and on about being a professional business man and so forth. And because I made him cancel on everyone else that "supposedly" reach out, he was keeping $150. He agreed to return the other half, but he has yet to do so. He's been avoiding me. It makes me wonder if I can sue to get the full amount back. Read Less

I've had the pleasure of being tattooed by Jared Shaw for most of my tattoos and he does absolutely amazing pieces. Great experience, great work. You won't regret getting work done. I will continue to go back for every other tattoo I plan to get. The shop is newly renovated and looks amazing. Definitely recommend. Read Less

Cali Culture Tattoo is the place to be. Whenever I am getting tattooed at this establishment, I can sincerely say that I feel at home. Each and every time that I shop around at other businesses, I do not feel wanted. The whole staff is welcoming and professional. If you want some traditional and original work done anywhere on your body, I highly recommend that you stop by and check out this shop! Read Less

Please don't go with this guy Louie he starts tattoos but doesn't finish them, The worst thing is that he'll act like he is but then  hide from you once he has your money, I'm not hating on this place because I love the owner Sebastian if you could get a tattoo, you have to get it from him! Read Less

If I can rate this place a ZERO I would, I've had my tattoo for over a year now and I honestly can say this was the worst experience  ever for it being my FIRST tattoo! They guy "Smiley" fucked me up for life! Have you ever heard of a blowout? Me neither, until I got one myself. He was heavy handed while tattooing he went to deep Into my skin and caused the ink to spread. It's very sad and embarrassing! It's been a year and I honestly wish I'd never gotten a tattoo from this place! Read Less

I flew out from Boston and decided to get a tatoo at the last minute. The artists here are not only talented, but also welcoming and hilarious! The shop was clean and provided a good atmosphere. The tattoo was done incredibly well and it was very reasonably priced. I would recommend this place to anybody! Read Less

The artist I booked with bailed at the last minute while I was there waiting. The guy that was there did everything he could to try and get me in and even to a different studio, but no luck. Tattoos looked clean, it's backed on to a dispensary so that's a bonus Read Less

I have been here a few times and have had Louie help me each time. I cannot express how amazing I think he is!! His art is beautiful and he is clearly gifted. I live about a half hour-45 minutes away, but wouldn't go anywhere else. The atmosphere is super chill and the artists are great. I couldn't imagine someone walking out unhappy with their experience and their tattoo. Call them to set an appointment and ask for my boy Louie! I'm sure I'll be there again soon Read Less

Bad service, you don't get what you pay for.... horrible experience. I got ripped off after paying 280 for someone who refused to finish my tattoo. They cancelled on me 2 times, on the 3rd scheduled appt, I had stomach issues and still went in because I didn't want to cancel and took the guy a gift for his daughter because he said it had just passed and that's why he cancelled on one occasion.  The first time he had a blown tire, I offered to uber him so I can keep my appt. All in all I tried accommodating them and got a big F you in the end. Super disappointed! This was over a year ago. Just try to say forget it. Read Less

I got a New York Yankee's tattoo and it is fabulous!! The colors are beautiful so it really stands out!!! I've gotten nothing but positive comments about it! The tattoo artist was very professional and the price was lower than I expected!! Using his computer to search for just the right image made it much easier to icl out what I wanted. Hope to get another one there next time I'm in the area!! I'd recommend them to anyone!! Read Less

Does very good work and takes his time. He makes sure all his work is 100% done and that you are very happy when u leave. He also make u feel like family and not just a customer like a lot of the other tattoo place I have been to. He loves what he does and u can tell by the work he does. Read Less
