Love my tattoos that I received. However, they did not use their time wisely at all. When we arrived, there were no other customers in the shop, and there were 3 artists present. We spent 3 hours in the shop for a few small tattoos. There were other walk ins who came in an hour after us, who had all their tattoos finished before my friends and I did. The artists were very friendly there, however towards the end of the evening they had friends coming into the shop to drink. We were told a shop minimum the day prior, then ended up having to pay more the next day. Read Less

How about finishing a tattoo that was paid for? It's a bad look to ignore a customer who has already paid you for the work. Ray Corona stole $240 from me. @cactustattooparlor

Would have chosen no stars if it was an option. Mike gave the WORST customer service. He made us wait 2 hours before barely discussing details about tattoo. He was less than enthusiastic about doing the job. He finished in about 30 min and clearly put minimal effort into the tattoo. When we attempted to discuss what could be added to make it better he was extremely arrogant and refused to work with us. His 2nd and 3rd place plaques plastered all over his work space are indicative of his lack of passion for the trade. He was ok 8 years ago but straight downhill since. Read Less

Do not come to this shit hole of a business, it's a joke. Myke rios gets down on portraits sometimes but he sucks at everything else. If you want anything other than a portrait he will just overcharge you so you can say no, he's not man enough to say I am not good at those. Actually he thinks he is God at tattooing and will tell u that, and try to intimidate you into agreeing with him but no, hes a punk and if you can't leave the valley to get a portrait done then I guess go to him but don't take his shit. And that troll working for him can't tattoo so stay away from her Read Less
