DO NOT!!!! Let ARNI do any tattoo work on you!!!! Arni made a mistake on a Moon Tattoo,  Asked that my wife not treat the Tattoo so it can fade and come back in 30 days so he can redo the Tattoo. I then spend 2 months trying to reach Arni at the shop, I emailed and messaged him on IG.  Arni never called or replied back to any of my messages!!!! I eventually reached Arni at the shop, booked an appointment to have the now faded moon tattoo on my wife fixed and Arni left us waiting for 2 hours and never showed up to work. Today 03/06/18 I Spoke with Arni and booked an appointment for 8:30pm and again he was a NO SHOW!!!!!.....Manager was upset and embarrassed so he had Jose Villa fix the tattoo. Jose Villa had a challenge on his hands and executed like a champ!!!! I don't know if I would recommend Lowrider Tattoo based on this bad experience with Arni but if I do! It will be with Jose Villa who took a crap job and turned it into a masterpiece worth showing off.    Arni also did my tattoo the same day he messed up my wife's moon and it needs a touch up. My letters have spots with no ink.... Guess what???? I was told that I must  pay the shop minimum of $100 to have it touched up!!! hahahahaha. Read Less

This is long overdue, but I wanted to review Lowrider today now that my tattoo has fully healed.I got my tat on 10/13/2017. I've never had one done before, so when I saw flyers going around social media about "flash tattoos" starting at $20 on Friday the 13th, I decided why not!The event started right at 11:00 as it would open normally, so I decided to show up around 10:30 since I heard the lines could get pretty crazy. I noticed only one guy waiting outside, but plenty of people sitting and waiting in their cars. Once the doors were open for business, you sign-in on the clipboard to hold your place in line.Along the whole front desk they laid out pages and pages of little pre-drawn tattoos for you to pick, along with the tattoo designer and price stated next to it. And you want to come early because there's only one of each kind, so the later you come the more limited choices you have! I opted for the rose tattoo designed by Danny.The next available artist is the person that does your work, regardless of the tattoo designer. I got Carlos!! (I'm pretty sure that's his name, sorry it's been a long time). He was really nice and explained to me an overview of the waiver. Once I had everything signed, I was free to wait in the lobby area while everything was getting set up. The place looked very clean and professional btw, and I'm glad it was pretty roomy compared to other tattoo shops I've seen.Okay, the section that all the tattoo newbies are waiting for-- the pain. So the tattoo process first began with cleaning the surface. Carlos was really friendly throughout the whole process and very understanding since he knew it was my first time. Yeah everyone always talks about how a tattoo is permanent, it's gonna hurt, yadayadayada.. but it wasn't until the needle started going into my skin that I was like omg what am I doing. I'd say I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but um yeah it hurt!! It wasn't super painful or anything, but since so many people told me "oh yeah it doesn't hurt at all," the pricking into my skin was more irritating than I was anticipating. Of course this will be different for everyone, but if you're like me then it'll be bearable but you won't be able to wait til it's all over. I'm just glad Carlos was really efficient and finished my approximately 1 x 2 1/2 inch piece in like 20 minutes. And I might be a wuss since the tat I got was so small, but I'd rather get all my 7 piercings again than be one of those people getting pricked for 5 hours.After it's all done they'll give you a small paper about how to take care of your new tattoo. They recommended that I go to my local drugstore and get Aquaphor (around $5) and Lubriderm (around $7). I had a really great experience here, and I'd totally recommend it to anyone to get a new piece done or their first tattoo. I can see myself coming back here if I want to get any other work done. I'll attach pictures of my fresh and healed tattoo picks below. Thanks for the wonderful service!! Read Less

After looking at different shops and artists work I decided to come to lowriders and get work done by Arni, when I got there I was really impressed how nice it was in the shop and although it was my first time there arni made me comfortable even though we have never met before, he took the time to make sure I was happy with the size and placement, and I couldn't have asked for a better end result very happy! and I know who I will be going back to for my next tattoo thanks arni and lowrider Read Less

I was referred to Danny from a friend and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The shop is really nice and danny is a humble dude with a good attitude. I've been to a lot of Tattoo shops and have had some horrible experiences so I was pretty nervous. but he did an amazing job and I will definitely recommend this shop and Danny to everyone.

Put extremely simply, Lowrider Tattoo is at the very least one of the best tattoo shops in the entire world. I traveled from Houston to Fountain Valley just to have Jose Lopez tattoo me. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I am a tattoo collector. I have tattoos done by some of the very best. People like me are unlikely to base their decision about a tattoo or a tattoo artist on a Yelp review, so this is not written for the experienced. For people who are new to tattoos and want an extremely intricate piece or for those who plan on walking into a shop and can't decide where to go, congratulations you've found it.  Your search has ended. I've been inside literally hundreds of tattoo shops in my life and very few match the professionalism, cleanliness, and efficiency of the Lowrider Tattoo shop in Fountain Valley. Any good business owner can accomplish those three things. What makes Lowrider so great is the fact that they adhere to the model of any exceptional business while also having the most talented artists, top to bottom. To conclude, Lowrider is one of the best shops in the world and if you're a casual tattoo enthusiast looking for a walk-in or looking for your first tattoo (or your second or your third), you just hit the jackpot. Stop your research here and book your appointment. Read Less

I just got my tongue pierced Saturday and Carlos was awesome he took his time and made me feel comfortable. I loved that it is a family friendly environment. Highly recommend for a quick professional clean piercing. Read Less

Wow! I can't be happier with my spine  tattoo done by J.Carlos!! He was very patient & took his time with his work! He's truly an artist & an amazing person !! This place is awesome , everyone is so nice & the customer service rocks! definitely coming back! Thank you J.Carlos!! Read Less

Sadly enough, not what I expected. I have read good things about this place and thought I would be lucky enough to get a clean set of "Dots" (yes, just three dots) and that wasn't accomplished. The dots where not "dots", as in perfect circles and one even faded. I tried going back to get it fixed but I was told no one could help me. Regardless of when it is, (meaning time or day) I think it should have been address or even showed importance in customer service. Also, if I am going to be tattooed by an Apprentice, I would appreciate being told. I ended up having to drive down the road to find another place to fix their mistake and ended up finding by far the best customer service and one who fixed the problem with ease and in just a few minutes. It isn't about the money, it was about the love and pride you put as a tattoo artist to ink someone's idea on their body. Read Less

I've gotten a couple of tattoos in this location, since it's so close to my house. It immediately smells clean and sanitized and is a very nicely decorated shop. The artists are all kind and willing to work with. A little on the pricey side, but the results were high quality. Also, I got my first tattoo here and they never once made me feel like I was annoying for being scared of the pain and whatnot. Definitely a professional environment with very kind staff. Read Less

Showed up as a walk in and wanted to get a cover up tattoo with as much realism as possible. David greeted me and took the time to go over my ideas and we  ended up going with a xenomorph from the movie aliens holding a skull. Definitely came out amazing. David is a master of black and white, and pulled an all night session because I told him I was leaving town in a couple of days.  Really appreciated the fact that he was a perfectionist who wanted to get you the best piece of work no matter how long it took. Will be getting all my future tats here. Read Less

I came here a couple weeks ago, and to start off with, when I first walked in I thought the shop was very beautiful. I came in with an appointment with Jake Masri. I had my first session on my half sleeve. The whole process was pretty painful for me because I have sensitive skin. Jake was very friendly and made sure I had everything done the way I wanted it! Everyone who walked by took a look for a couple minutes or two made small conversation and were also friendly. Overall, the whole shop had good vibes and my first session was great. I'll definitely come back to get it finished, can't wait. Read Less

You never know what your going to get when walking into a tattoo shop. This place is always professional and clean and they have AC. My go to artist is Danny Cee. This guy knows his stuff, very creative and a lot of patience. He specializes in color portraits and lettering but is always open for whatever you're looking for. If you're ever in the need for some ink look him up. This is the only place I'll go for ink. Read Less

Lowrider Tattoo Studios absolutely the best and nicest tattoo shop in Orange County. From the ridiculously beautiful  decour, chandeliers, and amazing art work in the shop. Just the shop itself should convince you to get tattooed here.The artist are all great at their craft and cool people to chat with. Jose the owner is a great guy  and very humble. I had the opportunity to chat with him, and have him check out my tattoos. I've been coming here since I was 18 I am now 23. The atmosphere is very classy and laid back. I have 4 big pieces done by Miguel Ochoa, who no longer tattoos out of this location. Every time I get tattooed, they/Miguel  offer to buy me food and drinks were not taking about McDonald's they get me bomb food all the time. Which is always nice since all my tattoos are 8+ hours long. Love the hospitality. If you want to get tattooed by a specific artist make sure to call ahead and book an appointment, most of the artist have a pretty long wait list so make sure to put in your deposits to secure your date! Most of all the artist at Lowrider end up blowing up and venturing off doing their own thing  For example, Jun Cha is HUGE now definitely one of the best in the game along with Miguel Ochoa and Lil B. Overall, if you come to Lowrider you will not be disappointed, amazing shop with even better artist! Read Less

Chris is the best! Always takes his time and is on point with his work. Very patient and gives you exactly what you want! He can do anything from super girly to bad ass super sick tattoos. Love his work and even after many months, my tattoos are still looking super fresh! Very detailed oriented and sooooo nice! Definitely book an appointment with Chris!! Read Less

Such an awesome place ! Probably the nicest tattoo shop I've ever stepped foot in. These dudes are so welcoming, the vibes inside are awesome. Got tattooed by Jeffry Mendoza, dude is not only a sick artist, but he doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, knows how to hold a conversation. I was getting tattooed for like 7 hours and there wasn't a dull moment! Definitely recommend this place, and really recommend Jeffry too! Read Less

I highly recommend this place! The guys here are all so nice and chill to be around. My artist Jake is amazing to say the least! He really knows what he is doing and has a passion for his art. From the very beginning he made me feel at ease and very comfortable during my long sessions. I highly highly recommend him! I cant thank him enough for giving me such beautiful tattoos! Read Less

It just depends on your artist I have 4 tattoos I've gotten from here Nd I love the energy these guys. Bring its mad chill but when I got my name tattoed on my back part of the tattoo looks awesome! But the other part is awful. They made part of the hand that I got tattoed look fat while the rest is normal....:/ now I have to live with it on my back. It's kinda embarrassing ask to see their art similar to a tattoo you're getting. My mistake was assuming they're all professionals and I trust them...but this was just one experience the rest of my tattoos are great I think. Read Less

I heard about Danny, through my sister. He did an amazing job, this was my first tattoo and he was very patient with me. I absolutely love the tattoo, it was everything that I asked for and more. The service was amazing and everyone at the shop was very caring, understanding and considerate. Thank you so much to Danny and the Lowrider tattoo shop. When I decide to get a second tattoo I will deffently go back to them. 11 out of 10 being the highest I would recommend. Read Less
