I went in and had my artwork done with Taylor. Super rad dude! I gave him my vision and even though it wasn't his "style" (his is neo traditional), he drew up (freehand) what I wanted and executed a masterpiece. He was professional, knowledgeable, caring, courteous, and always checked on me through the session to make sure I was doing ok and would filled me in on what he was doing and what he wanted to do to keep me in the loop. 10/10 would recommend and will be back to get the rest of my arm done with him!

Going into a tattoo shop can be super intimidating and these guys made it super easy. They gave their best advice on what would look better but always reminded us it was our tattoo, our decision.

So basically if you are looking for a new artist and you're so lost on who to go to, I recommend you see Taylor. He's so professional, does some bad ass work and makes sure you leave with a tattoo you'll love forever. He's done most of my ink now and I've seen him every couple weeks so far to work on my neotraditional sleeve. He has killed it with each tattoo he's done for me(even brought one back to life) I won't ever go to another artist again, I found the one! Thanks Taylor! You should definitely check him out you won't regret it! Read Less

Started the process of getting a Japanese style half-sleeve on my left arm about a month ago. Until then, I had only some lettering on my left bicep. Did my research, checked out shops in the Long Beach area, and was interested to see what Ace of Hearts could offer. I called ahead before my visit to see which artists specialized in Japanese sleeves and was referred to Austin B. I visited the same day and Austin was able to speak with me right away to start the consultation process. I told him what concepts I wanted to integrate, (symbols, color, etc.) and he told me he would start the design and would have it ready by the following weekend. During that week, he was very receptive and responsive on his IG account, as I would shoot over some pictures of sleeves I liked and he would offer input. By the time of my next visit the next week, lo and behold, the design was ready and looked great. It would be a koi fish swimming upward, with a hibiscus at the bottom of the sleeve. The design would leave the pre-existing bicep tattoo alone by having a cloud surrounding it. He had the design drawn out, but did not need to stencil it on my arm; he did it all freehand by referring to the drawing, in order to scale the design appropriately. Austin started the lining and shading process, and finished a large proportion of it in a very efficient manner. He advised me to come in 2 weeks later to finish all shading and color the design in. Normally, these half sleeves would take 3-4 sessions, but I powered through them and got it completely done in two. Austin was quick, professional, and did very well with the line work. I trusted his vision for how to color in the sleeve, and it turned out great. Thanks man! I would highly recommend anyone looking to get a sleeve to ask for Austin. The lines will be clean for sure. His flash designs are pretty dope too. Read Less

Austin (dude w the long curly hair) was very welcoming. My girlfriend and I were first timers and all the workers didn't make us feel like noobs. They're fair with the pricing and break it down for you as to why they price it at what it is. They are not cheap but they are fair! But the work is very high quality and they take their time when editing ideas for your tattoo vision so its worth every penny. They also work quick, my girlfriend and I were both walk-ins; her tattoo took about 15-20 minutes and mine was about an hour but it went by fast. The shop itself is pretty sick with art all over and hilarious sayings. It's a comfortable atmosphere and the people are great. All in all my first tattoo experience couldn't have been better.

Did a little bit of research before getting my first tattoo with my girlfriend and we couldn't have picked a better place. The staff was friendly and extremely patient. They worked with our ideas and once a design was chosen, they went to work quickly. My tattoo was done by Jason and it took about 15-20 minutes. The lines were clean, he made sure i wasn't nervous, and he talked me through the process. I am from out of town and would love to come back and get another tattoo done by this shop! Read Less

I can't say enough good things about the kind and welcoming staff here. I had a tatt that had aged poorly and Jason V was the only artist of several I asked who said he could make something that wasn't just a giant black ball/Mickey Mouse head/large black heart.

I have been to this shop twice. Once for myself and once with a friend.  We worked with Jason Paul.  He is an amazingly talented artist and a wonderful person.  He takes a tattoo idea and not matter how simple gives it dimension and style.  During my visit, he patiently worked with me on placement and design.  My tattoo healed quickly and looks amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better personal experience.  Two weeks later I brought my friend in for her first tattoo.  He provided her with the best experience.  The shop environment with clean, laid back and professional.  Every staff member I have met has been friendly and not pretentious.  Bonus: there is a nice bodega across the street and coffee shop 3 blocks down.

My husband and I came in on our year anniversary looking for finger tattoos. When we first walked in they were very welcoming and honest with us notifying us that fingers fade.  It was the first tattoo for both of us and couldn't have been more pleased!!! The numbers came out really clean ( we got our wedding date on our ring fingers ) and I actually got an additional spur of the moment tattoo. I explained to Jason what I wanted and he came up with something way better!!!!! I would highly recommend this place! And if I decided to get another one I will definitely make the trip to come here!

Walked in with an appt with Jose who is absolutely amazing and super welcoming. The shop was clean and the bathroom is seriously fabulous especially if you are into vintage. The tattoo Jose did for my brother in law was great and you see how much time he took to make sure he was satisfied also interacted with us on a personal level which made it feel super comfortable.

I wanted to get something done all in one day.... called this place, the person on the phone was super helpful, he said they take walk-ins and it's on a first come first serve basis. So that afternoon I went, Christina was available (keep in mind that I just went by the pictures on yelp and didn't really have any particular tattoo artist I wanted to see, I just really liked the work I saw and I thought this place would be the best for what I'm looking for). Anyway, I brought in pictures of what I wanted, she sketched it out, adjusted some, and the final product speaks for itself. She brought my ideas to life! I am beyond excited about how my tattoo turned out... way better than I pictured in my head. If you're looking for a tattoo artist that's easy to talk to and great at their craft, definitely stop by and see her Tuesday-Saturday. Christina Platis is amazing, super sweet and super friendly!! Go see her, what are you waiting for???? Read Less

Austin (dude w the long curly hair) was very welcoming. My girlfriend and I were first timers and all the workers didn't make us feel like noobs. They're fair with the pricing and break it down for you as to why they price it at what it is. They are not cheap but they are fair! But the work is very high quality and they take their time when editing ideas for your tattoo vision so its worth every penny. They also work quick, my girlfriend and I were both walk-ins; her tattoo took about 15-20 minutes and mine was about an hour but it went by fast. The shop itself is pretty sick with art all over and hilarious sayings. It's a comfortable atmosphere and the people are great. All in all my first tattoo experience couldn't have been better.

Did a little bit of research before getting my first tattoo with my girlfriend and we couldn't have picked a better place. The staff was friendly and extremely patient. They worked with our ideas and once a design was chosen, they went to work quickly. My tattoo was done by Jason and it took about 15-20 minutes. The lines were clean, he made sure i wasn't nervous, and he talked me through the process. I am from out of town and would love to come back and get another tattoo done by this shop! Read Less

I can't say enough good things about the kind and welcoming staff here. I had a tatt that had aged poorly and Jason V was the only artist of several I asked who said he could make something that wasn't just a giant black ball/Mickey Mouse head/large black heart. He is a cover up genius!! I plan on going back to him again and I would recommend any of the staff there. They all were doing great work while I was there. Read Less

I have been to this shop twice. Once for myself and once with a friend.  We worked with Jason Paul.  He is an amazingly talented artist and a wonderful person.  He takes a tattoo idea and not matter how simple gives it dimension and style.  During my visit, he patiently worked with me on placement and design.  My tattoo healed quickly and looks amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better personal experience.  Two weeks later I brought my friend in for her first tattoo.  He provided her with the best experience.  The shop environment with clean, laid back and professional.  Every staff member I have met has been friendly and not pretentious.  Bonus: there is a nice bodega across the street and coffee shop 3 blocks down.

My husband and I came in on our year anniversary looking for finger tattoos. When we first walked in they were very welcoming and honest with us notifying us that fingers fade.  It was the first tattoo for both of us and couldn't have been more pleased!!! The numbers came out really clean ( we got our wedding date on our ring fingers ) and I actually got an additional spur of the moment tattoo. I explained to Jason what I wanted and he came up with something way better!!!!! I would highly recommend this place! And if I decided to get another one I will definitely make the trip to come here!

I got an amazing traditional tattoo from Jason Paul today and I could not be happier! His work is absolutely incredible and he is fast and light handed. Friendly, easy to work with and he quickly came up with a design that was even better than what I could have imagined. Not my first tattoo, but definitely the best one I have. I will be returning soon! Shop looks amazing too and the staff is very friendly. Thank you so much! Read Less

Walked in with an appt with Jose who is absolutely amazing and super welcoming. The shop was clean and the bathroom is seriously fabulous especially if you are into vintage. The tattoo Jose did for my brother in law was great and you see how much time he took to make sure he was satisfied also interacted with us on a personal level which made it feel super comfortable. Also a pleasure working with him and will come back soon for more amazing work. if you are looking for great work and be comfortable with your artist look no further!!! Read Less

I wanted to get something done all in one day.... called this place, the person on the phone was super helpful, he said they take walk-ins and it's on a first come first serve basis. So that afternoon I went, Christina was available (keep in mind that I just went by the pictures on yelp and didn't really have any particular tattoo artist I wanted to see, I just really liked the work I saw and I thought this place would be the best for what I'm looking for). Anyway, I brought in pictures of what I wanted, she sketched it out, adjusted some, and the final product speaks for itself. She brought my ideas to life! I am beyond excited about how my tattoo turned out... way better than I pictured in my head. If you're looking for a tattoo artist that's easy to talk to and great at their craft, definitely stop by and see her Tuesday-Saturday. Christina Platis is amazing, super sweet and super friendly!! Go see her, what are you waiting for???? Read Less

This place has such a good vibe. This was my first tattoo and my tattoo artist Bill gave me such an awesome experience. I gave him a template of what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations and did so with great service. I was comfortable, wasn't scared, and he made sure everything was alright. Bill is the man. I trust his judgement, and he's an amazing artist.  He really made my day. Awesome guy, awesome shop, and would definitely recommend to my friends who wants to get tatted.
