Quick and easy tattoo. Knocked it out in about 30 minutes before I had work. Came in, they got me done in 30 with no phone call/planning ahead. It's a good tat and I may come back for future work done. Style seems Old Style as its called. Florals seem cool too. Read Less

Jon was awesome. 3 of us went in probably 30 minutes before closing and just wanted small tattoos. He stayed for us. It was quick and it turned out great. I got my father's, who passed away 3 years ago, signature on my arm. My family loved it when I should them. Read Less

me and my friend went in and got tattoos on a whim and we were both nervous about the experience but the guys were super chill about it. It's been a month. Jon did mine. I love my tats, she loves hers! Thank you so much :) Read Less

A great example of what an old school shop should be but with specific attention to cleanliness and safety. I've gotten work from John Kelly (the owner) but all the artists do great work and are easy going, good people. I would highly recommend. Read Less

I have come to this shop for all of my tattoos since I was 19. I have been tattooed by both Jon and Jordy and it has always been a positive experience. The guys are sweethearts, always fair with pricing, and give quick, efficient, and quality tattoos. Read Less

I was referred to Jon by family and I am very satisfied with the work I received. As you can see from the picture I had work that was a mess and needed to be cleaned up and finished. I know a lot of artists don't care to mess with others work but Jon stepped up and made it his own and did an absolute beautiful job. I've never been happier with this piece. It's one that means the most to me and I let 3 different people work on it prior to Jon because I wanted more added to the original and it was very cheap if not free. Get free garage work and see what happens. I'll pay the professionals from now on. Jon will be doing all my tattoos and I've got plenty more I want to have done. Read Less

The few times I've come into olde Tyme I'm greeted and treated with respect and professionalism. So first glance, I love this place. Looking deeper, every artist in the shop are genuinely nice people that are happy to accommodate my needs. I go to Jordy when I get tattooed but every artist in there clearly loves their craft and puts time and heart into the work they do. Any type of tattoo you are looking for, an artist in this shop is willing to do. The prices are fair, and the work is excellent. As I said, Jordy is my artist and he is gentle handed, but none of my tattoos have had any problems a light handed tattoo artist would face. I haven't had a bad experience walking into this shop and you won't either. The level of mutual respect and professionalism alone is reason to come here rather than other shops where you are treated like a second class citizen. Read Less

This place rocks. Tom Clark was able to squeeze in my niece for a last minute appointment on a very short notice. We arrived about 30 minutes early and Tom was just finishing up his previous appointment. The place itself is in a little shopping mall, it is clean and tidy as it should be. As soon  Tom was done he greeted us and ask for we are looking for. My niece showed him some pictures from images online and he said no problem went back into the back and drew his own small drawing. My niece approved of his sketch and on he went. The whole process took just little under 45 minutes and the final results were amazing. We definitely will be back. Read Less

I've been going to olde tyme for all of my tattoos since 2012. I only had two existing tattoos prior to meeting The guys at olde tyme and 6 years later I'm nearly covered head to toe and i only go to olde tyme. Jon and all of the guys are very professional, pay close attention to detail and work with you to make sure the your idea comes to reality in the most creative and comfortable way possible. The shop is extremely clean and gives off a very friendly vibe. I feel 100% comfortable referring anyone looking for the best tattoo experience to any of the artists at olde tyme Read Less

I love this shop. I've had two tattoos done by Jon Kelly and both are better than I had hoped. Jon's not only a gifted artist but a wonderful person and that made the experience even better. Tattoos to me are very personal and who does the work is just as important as the work itself. You will love the work you get done here.I'm hoping to get work done by Tom and Jordy as well. Their work is amazing. Read Less

I am so so happy I chose to come to Olde Tyme to get my tattoo done.  The artist was friendly and helpful as I tried to narrow down the work I wanted done.  The finished piece was so beyond what I had expected and I am so happy with it.  I consistenly get compliments on how colorful and clean the tattoo is.  I will definitely be back for my next one!Also, the place was nice and clean which made me feel super comfortable getting work done here. Read Less

Walked in on a spur of the moment "I need ink and I need it now" type of day. Decided to give this place a shot. Checked out the Artist books and decided to go with Nate as my artist. He was hella polite, friendly and clean af. I legit watched him sanitize his station like 3 times.. which in my head was prob some ocd cleanliness thing But, the cleaner the better haha he listened to exactly what I wanted for my piece. He sketched up the design I wanted rather quickly but it was perfect! He gave me a sick portrait piece that I'm more than happy about. Pretty sure I'm going to stick with him as my go to artist from now on! If you're trying to figure out a place to go, with good artist that hold high expectations for themselves. Go here. You'll find nothing but talent Read Less

Cons:Unenthusiastic artists that only care about making extra bucks. I had 8 lines size of a baby's palm took about 15minutes of their time cost me $100. Every time I asked for their professional opinion they took it as a joke in the back when the artist was sketching out the letters. I could hear jokes such as "I can't believe you're charging this kid $100 for 8 lines" and so on.Wore Plastic Gloves  ---- AND THEN CHANGED THE TRASHCAN WITH THE SAME GLOVES AND THEN TATTED ME. TALK ABOUT SANITATION ---- WOW this disgusted me.Didn't take me as a serious customer until I took out the money. Only paid because I wanted to prove them wrong. Pros: Was quick about it Not sure if this would be  a good thing or bad. got to see after the work is healed to see if there's any missing spots. Had a light hand meaning that it didn't hurt at all compared to other artists that tatted on me. 'Most of the work they have is Old Time work. as in outdated or very umm how to say narrow. they don't have a good selection or a variety of different styles. most of it would be the same. definetly would not recommend. also tried to charge me $100 more every time I tried to haggle the price down because the same artist wanted to give me a bigger piece for the same price. come on. does that make sense? not at all. they are there just for the money. don't go to this spot. Read Less

I've gotten two tattoos with Jordy and I've never been happier! He always has no problem working with me on any changes I might want or need and he's always nice and gentle with me. I personally don't ever stop talking but jordy has no problem keeping the conversation going. I've always hated needles and my first tattoo with a different artist (who was horrible compared to the lovely jordy) was very painful, but I found jordy and he makes them feel like nothing. Honestly, I could probably fall asleep in his chair while he's doing my tattoos. I can't wait to go back for my next tattoo and I'm gonna bring in my husband for his first  keep up the good work jordy! See ya soon! Read Less

This was my first experience with tattooing. I researched several places until I found the art I liked. My tattoo is dedicated to my family, those still here and those gone. It turned out beautiful, feminine and delicate like I wanted it. Thank you to Tom Clark who was able to capture my vision! I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a good outcome. Read Less

John Kelly was exceptionally professional and accommodating. John took a basic idea I had and turned it into a fantastic piece. He was also incredibly fast (which definitely makes a tattoo much more affordable!), and was so kind and gentle in the process.I recommend Olde Time Tattoo for anyone in the OC area who is looking for a piece to add to their collection.

When you find the perfect tattoo artist, you never want to go to anyone else.  I hadn't had a tattoo in over seven years, and wanted one as a memory of my Cocker Spaniel Molly that passed away a year ago.  Fortunately I was able to find where Tom was now working... at Olde Tyme Tattoo.  It was great to hear his voice on the phone and explain what I wanted, and then set a date for my new ink.  Tom has now done five of my tattoos and fixed another one.  Tom is SO CREATIVE!  You tell him what you are looking for, what you would like to have in the tattoo, etc... and he works his magic to create the most incredible art!  He did a portrait tattoo of my dogs back in 2008.  This time I was there to get a tattoo in memory of one of the dogs that had passed a year ago.  When Tom finished my tattoo, I looked in the mirror and cried.  IT WAS PERFECT!  I highly recommend Tom Clark if you are considering your first tattoo, or if you are planning to get more tattoos.  You will not be disappointed.  I did meet the other guys at Olde Tyme Tattoo, they stopped to see my new tattoo and chat.  They are all very friendly there.  So, again, this is the place to go for tattoos.  Thank you Tom, you truly are the BEST!!!!!

I am so grateful for the beautiful job my tattoo artist did helping me figure out my first tattoo. I love it so much. It is better than what I had originally planned. It is perfect. Thank you, Tom Clark. Read Less

Been dying to get a Bowie tattoo so I went down to Olde Tyme Tattoo. Nate was in, so he drew up a sketch of the picture I showed him, sized it on my arm, and immediately went to work after I filled out the form. He was super cool, held conversation, yet was still professional. It didn't take long at all and turned out really nice! The healing process took about a week and I'm obsessed. Can't wait to go back for another. Thanks Nate! Read Less

This work of art took two sessions total, done by Ronnie O. Highly recommend Ronnie as an artist. He is super friendly, experienced, and relaxed. He was very understanding and patient whenever I needed breaks, and he's very easy to talk to! I am so happy with the end result, and plan on coming back for more! The shop itself is super clean and comfortable to be in. The other artists are all cool and friendly. Read Less

Jon Kelley really is an amazing artist. I was more than blown away with how creative and skillful he is and I will be back to do more pieces later on.I scheduled for an appointment and had my tattoo done in a day. The price is reasonable and the most notable trait you see in the shop is how clean it is! My first tattoo was so hassle free and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend! Read Less

Jon Kelly is the dopest, most professional, tattoo genius in existence. I've tries a few places prior to finding Jon, and once I found him, it was a done deal, I will never be tatted by anyone else. I've brought him a few odd ideas a handful of times and each time he executed it perfectly, better than anything I could hope for. His line game is unparalleled! He is consistently amazing, price is beyond fair, and I have never been more comfortable. There's no intimidation what so ever, the shop is clean, Jon is super responsive and really works with you. He's quick, zero BS, and I leave happy every single time. Read Less

Such a good experience and wonderful work by Ronnie!!! He covered up an old tattoo with a beautiful Hamsa he sketched for me. I could not be happier! Very nice and relaxed atmosphere and Ronnie was very patient when I had to take breaks a few times during the tattoo. Read Less

Ronnie did an amazing job on my tattoo. He was able to bring so much detail and boldness to my idea and the result is amazing.   Ronnie is an outstanding artist, very friendly and professional.  The shop is clean and professional.  If you are looking for a tattoo, especially a cover up, Ronnie is the best!  Thank you so much - I could not be happier!

So ive been going to Jon for about 2 years now and he as good as it comes. always exceeds my expectations with an idea that i shoot his way. i have 13 from him so far and they are always getting compliments from people on the daily. every other artist at the shop is extremely friendly as well. just all around a great experience, great response time, great price, and great work. what more could you want. theres a reason it has a 5 star average on here, because it deserves it. come here, you wont be disappointed Read Less

Ronnie is awesome.  He's super talented and mellow; there's no pressure, no hard sell.  He does really great work and I always get compliments on the work he's done for me.  I made the mistake of getting an impulse tattoo in Los Angeles with my best friend ... um, ya, Ronnie to the rescue! ... he fixed everything!  I will never go to anyone else again.  I highly recommend.

Stopped in the shop on Yelp recommendations and was greeted by Mr. Kelly. Talked for a minute about my ideas to honor my late wife and Jonathan really got it! He took my idea and went to the drawing board and came back with exactly what I had envisioned. I couldn't have been happier with the results. I was a little intimidated cuz this is my first work done. Whole process took a little more than an hour. I have had nothing but compliments on his work! Will definitely think about returning. Thank You Jonathan. Read Less

Just got a tattoo done by Jon and I LOVE IT. Nice, professional, and great pricing. Easy to book an appointment. The shop was clean and other tattoo artists were nice to me as I excitedly admired my new tattoo. Read Less

This place is great!  After my old tattoo artist kept flaking, I finally took my friend's recommendation and came to see Tom.  He was super nice and professional.He did an awesome job on the tattoo and the price wasn't nearly as high as I was thinking it would be (this was the most detailed and colored of all my tattoos).I'll definitely be going back for more. :D Read Less

I walked into Olde Tyme Tattoo after 4 hours of Yelp researching and my expectations were BEYOND exceeded. I spoke with Jordy who is super nice and explained to him what I wanted. No pictures, just described my vision in a few words and he got it. I am sooooo in love with how my new tattoo turned out and I can't wait to go back to Jordy for my next piece! Read Less

Thanks Jordi,   Got two Sailor Jerry tattoos this past week. Jordi's interpretation of both were spot on.I couldn't be happier. A great artist and professional. Both done at a fair price and a good experience. I'll be back soon to finish the first one. Read Less

I was looking for a tattoo parlor that was a friendly and professional environment that also has talented, well trained artists. When I walked in to Olde Tyme Tattoo, I was greeted immediately. Although I was a walk in, Ronnie immediately tried to find a time that worked for me to get my piece done. He found a time that day to get me inked. During the tattoo, there was minimal pain and he finished very fast. When I saw the tattoo after I was very impressed of the results I got in such a little time. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely go back. Read Less

Wish I would have gotten a tattoo tried twice to come here first time was told to come back while two people sat there waiting for clients, came back two hours later waited 40 mins wasn't even greeted. I'm sure the arts great but wanted to pay $120 for two dime size tattoos, that's maybe 30 mins of work. Oh well guess money doesn't matter enough to be on time or even offer to reschedule. Amazing artists loved the work really disappointed in the shop management. Easy money but if I don't deserve your time you don't deserve the business. Look books were amazing will try some of these artists if they leave this shop! Read Less

Came in because I saw the great yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. Jordy-O drew up my tattoo for me and it came out super dope. Reasonable prices as well for the great work you're getting. Clean, chill, and friendly. Totally recommend it, i'll definitely be back for another tattoo. Read Less

Amazing artistry and vision at Olde Tyme. I was referred to Jordy through my best friend and was totally impressed. I got my first tattoo last year at a random shop and wasn't very excited with the way it came out. I had no idea about what i wanted to add onto it, but I told Jordy the kind of tattoo styles i liked and he said to hang out while he drew up an idea. 20 minutes later, he came out to the front of the shop with a beautiful, one of a kind art piece. He knew exactly what i wanted even though i didn't! I am so in love with my tattoo and can't wait to get more from him in the future. Thank you Jordy!! Read Less

Tom Clark. A man of few words. Bearer of masterful hands. He's incredible, a perfectionist, and SO professional. I was a bit unprepared to get a tat on my leg, so I ended up getting mine in my chonies. But Tom did not make it feel awkward at all, not for one second. Love him. I sent Tom a couple pictures to give him an idea as to what I was looking to do. As soon as I saw his mock-up, I knew that HE knew what I wanted. He even made the font look prettier and added a cute bow! :-) It was my first tattoo ever, and kind of a big one (about 7 inches tall and the widest part is about 4 inches). I'm also a huge wuss. I moved a couple of times...oops...and we had to take several breaks. But we did it. Poor guy. Tom was AMAZING and SO patient with me AND he worked super fast! Got it done in under an hour and a half. Color and everything. The lines are beautifully done and crisp, and the shading and coloring...I love it all. Especially, this white highlight he made on my waffle cone. Excellent touch. Go to Tom! I love him! And you will love him, too! Read Less

I am from California but live in Florida now.   When I was back for a friend's wedding I wanted a tattoo to celebrate my youth in California.  Tom Clark was awesome with collaborating on the design over the internet and giving me a ballpark price.   The day of the tattoo,  the shop was very clean, Tom was on time,and did absolutely amazing work,  and the vibe of this shop was one of inclusive acceptance.   Tom did absolutely awesome work and months later,  I am still thrilled with my tattoo and choice of shop.   I only wished I lived closer to get more work done by this shop.

Jon is a miracle worker and I'm grateful for him taking me in and finishing my rune stave in such a quick, yet well-crafted manner. Very affordable, highly recommended, and would gladly come again in the near future. Read Less

Came to this shop as a walk in.

Sagent Staygold has been my artist for over a year and a half, he has always attend to my needs Sagent is very professional as well as the shop.. I would recommend him to anyone that wants at tattoo best artist around! Thank you Sage Read Less

Went in for some info and inquiry and the artist came up to me high af. Kept trying to make my design bigger and more expensive than what i wanted. Wouldn't listen to me. By all means, the art was nice, however I wouldnt trust someone higher than a kite to put permanent ink on my body. Read Less

Tom Clark is my tatoo artist.   I found him and this shop here on Yelp!  I'm so glad that I did because he's an amazing tatoo artist as well as a super nice guy to hang out with while you are getting ink.   In the last six months I have gotten five separate tatoos plus a large grouping of roses that covers about 1/4 of my arm. Each tatoo is exactly what I asked for,  very well done,  meticulous and of the highest quality.   I get compliment after compliment on my arm since it is color.   I couldn't be happier with Tom's work.  I've referred many others to him and he's done amazing work on both my nephew and his girlfriend. He has the experience and talent to do fantastic work. I was so nervous about getting my first tatoo but Tom was great and super patient with me.  I was totally shocked how little it hurt compared to what I'd envisioned and worked myself up about.  It's not a pain free process but it's really not a big deal either. Great shop.  **Very** clean.  Very friendly staff. Read Less

Got my first tatoo. Jon, the shop owner, was fantastic and walked me through the entire process. He made me feel at ease from the start and before you know it he was done. Great shop. Very clean. Great staff! Thanks Jon! Read Less

Definitely my #1 place to go get a tattoo! Their shop is so clean and the employees are amazing artists! My experience was great for it being my first time. Ronnie made me feel very welcome and comfortable as he walked me through the process of getting a tattoo. Best shop in all of Orange County! Going back again soon! Read Less
