Alright so I'm gonna set the story straight. I fucking love this place. Santos (the piercer) has done my belly and nipple piercings. He is so informative, relaxing and most of all... professional. My biggest fear was undoing my bra and hear immaturity out of my piercer but this was not the case. I couldn't have been more comfortable! I had a pretty bad reaction to the nip piercings (mostly because of lack of dehydration and food) and Santos was so nice and knew exactly how to handle my almost-faint spill. I was in such good hands for all the piercings. After I was done with the nips, Santos (the tattoo artist) blew up a remake of the picture I sent him a week before and fell in love with it. The tattoo looks so good and I love it 100%! He was so nice, patient and helped me a lot! The pricing is better than 99% of other piercing/tattoo parlors and the quality is phenomenal. The environment, the people, the work etc. is everything. You won't regret coming here. I feel like family now that I stop by for studs and more piercings. You won't regret it, take my word.  (I won't be posting the nip piercing because that private) Read Less

I'm a friend of someone who has been pierced and tattooed here. The staff is so friendly and professional and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. She is beyond happy with her piercings and tattoo. Anyone looking for a good, experienced and comfortable staff should come here. If I was willing to get tatted or pierced, this would be my first and only stop and I would leave with 100% exceeding satisfaction. Read Less

I like be this place everyone is friendly and fun to hang out with while your waiting, they won't lie to make a quick buck they'll tell you what will look good and what won't, they make you feel relaxed during the tattoo and piercing process Read Less

My nip piercing came out crooked af. One is lower than the other. I did pierce one at another shop though (he charged me less and did a better job lol) but I mean you're supposed to be a professional. On top of that the guy was being so rough. He made it bleed so much. Also, he gave me a weird vibe. I was very uncomfortable. Read Less

This is a great place to get a tattoo. My friend introduced me to Santos and let me tell you, this man's work is awesome. He is very friendly and he takes the time to make sure you are getting exactly what you want.  He did a fantastic job on my tattoo. I highly recommend him. Thanks Santos for the beautiful job you did on the memorial for my dad.  I will definately be coming back for more work. Read Less

If you need anything you need to come see my dude Eddie! He does awesome work, has a great eye and hand and his pricing is top notch. My wife got some work done by him and she couldn't be happier, coming back to do my arm and shoulder soon! Thanks E!!! Read Less

I have to admit that I fell in love with the artwork of Eddie, he did a great shoulder piece on me and I absolutely love it. I put a tank top on and everywhere I go, I get compliments. Definitely recommend him. You won't be disappointed. Read Less

My nose piercing had just fallen out of my nose so I came here as last minute at night. When I came in he handed me three piercings for my nose. Then he was like "I suggest the fishtail". I'm new to piercings so I let him do it. My nose was fresh and he even said he noticed that it was fresh. As he was putting my piercing on I could see his dirty gloves. He didn't even change gloves to put my piercing on or use any sanitation. Utterly disgusted. Please do yourself and don't come here for piercings !! To top it off he didn't have CHANGE for a 20 he only had 8$ and Charged me ultimately 12$ for just a piercing. So he tipped himself. Do not come here. Read the reviews. Read Less

Just turn around and go. Worse tattoo I've ever gotten. The tattoo artist couldn't even give any feedback to what I exactly wanted, I kept asking him for his opinion all he would say was " it's up to you" 😑. Anyways I had to get a cover up and so please with this new one.Read Less

Thanks Ruben Santos for such a great job on my military tattoo your the best highly recommend this place prices are good and very professional keep up the great work see you soon for more ink work need that Army Eagle to cover tattoo work on it bro from Commander Ruben see you soon Read Less

I've been to other shops before and the artists usually treat you as if you're wasting their time... This is not the case here at Sabotage... I was treated as if I were an old friend!!! Santos is a class act... The real deal and I'm looking forward to seeing him again in a couple of weeks... Six stars for you guys at Sabotage!!! Read Less

I have always passed by this tattoo shop since growing up in the East Los Community. I support this establishment because it is legit and warm/friendly environment. My first experience(March 2013) I came in talked to an artist to get a feather with small birds tattooed on my left shoulder. I can agree with some reviews that tattoos are high priced; however, your paying for quality work that will stay on your body. You have put quality over quantity. My first experience was good at first. I paid $120 for black feather with small birds. The after-care in which the artist had covered my tattoo with a paper towel and tap was not to my liking. My second experience (April 2017) I called into get a Daith piercing from the younger owner Santos. His customer service is spot on and has a humble/stern personality. I have a small ear and the area of a Daith piercing is a difficult spot, but he did an excellent job and didn't hurt one bit. I got a horse-shoe piercing, which is a good size for $35. My ear is almost healed now. I look forward to come back for more. They will treat you the way you want to be treated with respect.  Over all, this is a good tattoo place to go to for tattoos and piercings. I am write a separate review of my third experience getting tattooed by Santos OG another day. Read Less

Just left sabotage tattoo shop. Came to get my nose pierced and Santo (little one) did such a great job. I came back after two weeks because the little stud came off. He offered to replace it for me for free. He is very careful and gentle. Recommend it if ever in need to get anything pierced! Read Less

I been coming to this tattoo shop for the past 5 months. I just finished session #4 out of idk how many. Im getting a really big piece on my arm. Eddie is the artist who is working on it. I must admit, he is a really amazing artist. He doesn't rush his work. He really takes his time. He will make me stand of here and there and take a look at the piece from all angles. I really like this dude, CHILL dude. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO GO TO THIS SHOP!!! ASK FOR EDDIE!! Read Less

This place sucks! The people there were rude and the guy made me and my friend uncomfortable af , he pierced my ear so wrong, it got so infected so did my friends. He couldn't get the the earring in my friends ear and kept cursing because it won't go in. My friend was in pain, her ear was bleeding so much, to top it off he wanted us to tip him. DON'T COME HERE!!!......And their tattoo sucks too Read Less

My friend just came from there had a HORRIBLE experience. First of all they have a high turn over with their artist so if you start your tattoo with one artist chances are that person may not be there to finish it. So the owner Santos agreed to finish it then he started BITCHING that he's not getting nothing out of it so she bought him a Jack Daniels bottle he drank it & he was still bitching that he don't get nothing out of it. Then he said he didn't like the cobwebs my friend said I don't care what you like I paid for the cobwebs I like the cobwebs. So he took it upon himself to shade in the cobwebs but he gave it a DARK SHADING & he used a HEAVY HAND ON PURPOSE. Do NOT PAY FOR YOUR WORK UP FRONT OR ALL AT ONCE ESPECIALLY IF YOU NEED MULTIPLE SESSIONS THEY KEEP CHARGING OVER & over. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Read Less

I came here to get my septum pierced and the guy who did it pierced it crooked! I went back to tell the guy that he did it wrong he was telling me that it's just my nose he was looking at it from the side saying it's not crooked but I was looking at it from a downward angle and you can totally tell that it was crooked. I was getting so frustrated and after about 5 minutes of arguing with the guy he finally decided to take out the piercing and give me my money back. Don't come here for piercing in general!! Totally unprofessional and it's not sanitary at all. The set up is just some computer chairs and he doesn't sterilize anything before he uses them. Read Less

Went to this place cause a friend of mine wanted her nipples Pierce, we should of walked out before we even decided to get anything done after we seen the guy who was gonna do it,  this guy was nothing but a pervert, who made us all uncomfortable making little sexual remarks, and to top it off he wanted to take a picture of his work after he was done, my friend refuse saying "she was uncomfortable" but he kept persisting I decided to walk out because I didn't want to say something to him because of his unprofessionalism and that was a mistake he finally got a pic of my friends nipple piercing I asked her if he had shown her the picture and she said no, I was pissed not knowing if this person who took a picture of her face and to top it off right before we were leaving he said "oh I forgot can you sign the consent form" she didn't have an ID and he asked if it was okay if I posted mine. I just wanted to run out of there, not only did he make remarks to my friend, but he made some to me ewwwwwwwThey say you should never judge a book by its cover but this cover was loud and clear and we should have seen the warning signs!!!!!First impressions is the best and this guy was far from it!!! from cursing, making sexual comments and the way he was dressed I am not a judgmental person but this time I have to say something to warn you all!!!!! Read Less

My nipple piercing closed over night so I decided to call this place to see what they can do. I spoke to Santos on the phone and he was really helpful and recommended some ointments that will help my piercing re open since it wasn't that long or he suggested for me to go in so I did. We decided to pierce my nipple again and I screamed/moaned. He asked if it hurt. I said yes, he replied saying well you sounded good. I completely ignored his comment. My piercing didn't stop bleeding so he kept putting on clean tissue. I was already uncomfortable so I avoided eye contact. He then had the nerve to start asking if my boobs has always been big. I said no, I had work done and he grabbed my boob holding the tissue saying they felt real. I had went alone and pretty much felt violated. At that point I decided to lift up my shirt as much as I can and hold the tissue myself. Thank god someone walked in. When he was answering their questions I got a new tissue and decided I'll just hurry and leave. Unbelievably unprofessional, DO NOT come alone if you're a girl. Also his seats are computer seats and he has his jewelry in atool box. DO NOT RECOMMEND ! Read Less

A tattoo is for life! I paid $700 for my work. It was a few years ago, but now that I'm inked up, I know the difference between good and bad work. The artist who did the outline left the shop without finishing the tattoo. Santos finished it for me, but I had to pay another $80 for partial color when the agreement I had with the original artist included the color. He only colored the most visible part. The flower on my shoulder. He was gowwed out through it all. He stopped several times to have private meetings with random people who kept showing up. I get it. You have something going on on the side. Get your hustle on, but my tat sucks! It's dark, blotchy, and unrecognizable. I wish I could go back in time! Read Less

Great place with plenty of experience. They've been there 15+ years. Owner/Artist Santos has 30+ years of artwork and tattooing experience himself.If you're looking for quality work at reasonable pricing this where you wanna go! Read Less

This is a very bad tattoo shop. The artist are very heavy handed. They made me bleed for a few days and pierced my skin and I was bleeding for days and it messed up my tattoo and they didn't want to fix it for free since they messed up. Plus don't pay for your tattoo's up front because they just going to keep your money. Don't ever go there Read Less

I was very impressed with the talent of art these guys have, i watched as they tattooed my friend, they were very nice. The place is clean, and their display of art was outstanding. i would recommend Santos Martinez to anyone looking for a good tattoo, and his staff is quite good too. Read Less

I had one of those "did it when I was 14 years old" tattoos, you know the one you wish you never got! Well it was this huge Mickey mouse head on my ankle. I went in to Sabotage Tattoos to see if they could help me out. I went to other places and they told me I would be better off lasering off the tattoo. Well Sabotage was able to give me exactly what I wanted. Not one person has been able to tell it was a cover up!! Santos was able to cover it with a flower and stars, a design many other artists told me was impossible! If you want great art work, visit Santos at Sabotage Tattoos. I recommend ALL my friends and family and not one has been disappointed! Oh yeah, and the prices are great! Read Less
