All the artists in the shop are great and super nice.  I've has Cj  tattoo me several times and he's done a fantastic job.  I make a 10 hour drive to get to bakersfield, and even in my unplanned surprise trips he's managed to fit me in. He also has a realy light hand while tattooing Read Less

Got a large piece done in 2013, (seventh tattoo) Color has faded and lines are so light I have to get his worked laser removed. If you decide to go here get something small, that way when the ink falls out you can at least cover the bad work. Read Less

Best man Tom to do ink work miss you dude. When you were in Bakersfield California you did ink work on me and my wife are names on each other and you did a purple rose for my wife and a butterfly in memory of her mom. Read Less

This tattoo shop is the most unprofessional shop in Bakersfield . CJ Jones not only did a horrible job on my daughter's tattoo he treated her like dirt after she tryed to tell tell him how unhappy she was with the tattoo. And Joe the manager has done nothing. When my daughter used her $500.00 that was her graduation gift only to end up crying because of how horrible it looks and the so called artist and I use this term loosely refuses to give her a portion of her $ back ... so she can go elsewhere to have it fixed is not a decent person.!! I promise I will make it my goal to let every person in Bakersfield know how this shop treats people. CJ you are a unreputable very indecent and disgusting person for how you have treated my daughter and you will not like what's going to happen to your name now I will make it my absolute personal business to see that every single person in that town knows what a piece of crap you are and the shop you work for. If I have to picket in front of that shop every day until something is done about it trust me I will have a great day CJ Jones you piece of shit. Vezi mai mult Read Less
