This is a great shop! Always a good vibe and it is full of really talented artists. I have been getting tattooed by Thea Warden for almost 5 years, followed her to several different locations and this one is by far my favorite. Thea is the most amazing person and artist. Over the years she has given me a full sleeve, an amazing cover up on an old tattoo I thought I was doomed to have forever as well as multiple other custom and predawns she had done. Every session is a good time, she takes her time, makes you as comfortable as she can and is just a fun person to be around. Read Less

Check out Mike Ortiz for some great art! He just added a little California sun to my wrist to go along with my California poppies he did for me last year. This shop has an incredible atmosphere. I felt right at home like I was just hanging out with my friend Read Less

I have been lucky enough to have Tiffany leave her creative mark on me several times. From a cover up of an awful tattoo I got when I was 18 to amazing realizations of my half baked ideas I tell her. Tiff always exceeds my expectations with whatever work I ask of her, and she works with you during the whole process to make sure you get exactly what you want from the drawing to the shading and color. I've had a few pieces from other tattooers at the shop, Goonies, Nate, and Thea, and each of those experiences were absolutely wonderful as well! Read Less

My go to tattoo parlor. Ive gotten multiple tattoos from Nathan and he does exactly what I want each time! I've brought friends as well and everyone has been impressed! Everyone who works at the shop is always super friendly, and helpful! If you have never gotten a tattoo before, this is the place to come. They will help you make a decision that is best for you, as well as what will benefit you in the long run!! Thanks Nathan, you're the best!! Read Less

I've only been to this shop once, but I will definitely be back. This is my third tattoo from Chelsea. She is gentle and has amazing art and technique. She is super fun to chat with too, if you're into that. We had a great time and many of the other artists would come in to say hello and see what she was working on. Everyone was friendly and professional. I especially liked how the shop was laid out. There were quite a few rooms and each room was shared by two artists, I believe. Each artist had their own set up plus a seating area in each room where you could wait and relax. At some shops I've felt like I'm in the way, since there isn't a lot of extra space, but this shop felt very roomy and welcoming. When I was there Thea was doing a flash day and it was amazing to see how quickly she could turn out beautiful pieces. Everyone who came through while I was there seemed beyond stoked with their experience. Read Less

I got my first tattoo here and  my girl  Amanda did it. She was soo patient with me and was really personable and relatable. She made sure I was ok the entire time and I really appreciated it. I've had friends and family recommend this shop for any kind of tattoo at all. They are so friendly and nice!!!!!!!! Read Less

Jeff is the best! I've been getting tattooed by him for almost two years and he has always been friendly and professional. He always takes into consideration what I want and offers great advice. I highly recommend him and I'll definitely keep going back for more tattoos. Read Less

First time getting tatted by Mike Ortiz and gotta say it was a good experience overall. This shop is not like any other tattoo shop. You gotta stop by the shop to experience what I'm talking about. Mikes work speaks for itself. Read Less

See Amanda Armstrong (@lovesicktattooer on ig) !! Her work is amazing and super creative. I've been tattooed by her multiple times and the end result is always way better than I could've ever imagined :) She's really kind and professional and asks if you need to change positions if you're uncomfortable or if you need to take a break. The shop is very clean and environment is relaxed/friendly. 10/10 recommend and I'll definitely keep coming back here !! Read Less

First and foremost, I would highly recommend this shop. My artist was Nathan, and this was my first tattoo.  He welcomed me into the shop and quickly got to work in guiding me through the process (I was a walk-in).  The paperwork was simple, the shop was super clean, and the environment was completely welcoming.  I ended up getting what I had originally imagined, in a different location than I had imagined which I am thankful for! Nathan recommended a better placement for the tattoo and quickly got the artwork sized up.  I had two revisions and Nathan was happy to reduce the size and give me some advice. The tattoo process was quick and easy. Nathan is a fantastic tattoo artist and I can't wait to come back in! 5/5, would definitely recommend. Read Less

My mom and I stopped by for tattoos while on vacation. I had an awesome experience with Madea today at Old Towne Tattoo. She was very friendly and personable and made sure I loved my tattoo before doing it. I am visiting from out of town and would recommend to anyone coming! Read Less

Went there and got tattooed by Mike Ortiz and he's the best tattoo artist I've been too. Very reasonable on the price and easy to work with as far as scheduling. I've gone to him for multiple tattoos and even referred my gf and she's gotten one and we both agreed he's a great guy to work with and doesn't have a heavy hand. The shop overall is friendly and very clean and a great environment compared to other shops. Would definitely recommend this shop and highly recommend mike Ortiz Read Less

Got an angel tattoo on my forearm. Mike was able to cover up a few scars I have on my wrist that were a constant reminder of the emotional battles I've experienced in the past.  Mike was unaware of those scars but had prepared a sketch for our scheduled appointment. I didn't notice how the tattoo would completely cover up those scars ! I realized this after I took a good look at the finished piece. I am happy to be able to look back at my tattoo today and know that all of this is now part of the past. I'm looking forward to better days, better opportunities, and a happier life. Thank you Mike for making me feel comfortable through the process, for applying the love & passion I see in your art on this specific piece. Read Less

Matty is one of the best tattoo artist I've had the pleasure of working with he not only listen to my ideas and picked up little things that I didn't even know I wanted in my tattoo. He is an artist through and through and a perfectionist and making sure that he does a thorough job not only with the art but with the sanitation process. Read Less

I brought my brother here today who's visiting from Chicago for his first tattoo and my third! I called and they were fantastic on the phone! I got in contact via text with Nate and he answered all my questions and even scheduled the appointment for me!My brother had Nate do some script on his forearm and Nate did a great job!! Super fast and super pristine! I worked with Matty and he did such a perfect job with mine! I couldn't be happier! After he finished he even made sure he did all the color I wanted and asked if I wanted to fill the eyes with blue and then did for no extra charge!!! So so happy with this spot! Definitely will be telling all my friends to come here and I will for sure come back for more tats in the future!!! Thanks again to Matty and Nate for being so awesome Read Less

This tattoo parlor is not your typical tattoo joint. It is very clean and quiet. The light mint walls are very calming and serene. I felt like I was at a day spa. My first time coming here was in April. I was fortunate to have Chelsea Jane finish up a tattoo on my foot that another artist started. Not many artist are willing to do this and I was having a hard time getting someone to finish up my rose, let alone getting a hold of the previous artist. Chelsea came highly recommended. I'm so happy she was willing to work with me! She was so kind, friendly, and super laid back. I felt at ease with her right away! I loved the way my rose came out and I just knew I had to come back to her for some more work. I booked an appointment with Chelsea to get one of her pieces from her sketch book. I'm so in love with my Moon Woman.....she's BEAUTIFUL!!! Chelsea is an amazing artist and her style is unique. I will definitely be coming back to Chelsea. I found my new Tattoo Artist! Read Less

Go to Amanda!! She's super laid back and although my tattoo was small did an awesome job. Letters are clear and don't blend together. It looks amazing, I love it and definitely recommend going to her (-: Read Less

About the shop itself:Just before the Orange circle. They have limited parking in the back, however street parking is easily available. The shop is four rooms that are all connected. Very clean. About the artist I had and my tattoo:I came in one evening just looking for a quote so I can start my sleeve. I was immediately introduced by Matt. He is very friendly and of course knowledgeable. I have these three small tattoos on my arm that I wanted covered because if I start my sleeve they're just kind of in the way of having a flowing piece. And by the time I left I already left with an appointment. It was $100 to secure my appointment. Understandable. I was quoted $600 for my piece and that $100 that I put down would be going towards my piece. Matt was extremely easy to work with and always responded to my texts. (I have had a artist in the past that started a large piece and I never saw him after that session, so I had to find a new artist to finish it.) So I definitely appreciate how responsive he was. When it came to my first session we made it an easy day and just did the outline. Which I won't lie, I wasn't too fond of my lion's face in the outline, but kept telling myself it will all come together when it's shaded and completed. It healed in just under two weeks. My second session was yesterday and we honestly weren't sure how much I could handle. We were both impressed that he was able to finish the entire shading! After almost three hours all the shading was completed. We took about a 5/10 minute break once an hour. Which I appreciated! But after those three hours it was completely worth it! After being worried with the outline, the trust that I put in to Matt paid off. I am beyond happy with my tattoo! I will definitely come back to Matt for future tattoos. And definitely recommend him! Read Less

I had a session with Nathan at the shop, one of the kindest and most detailed artist I have met to date. He helped me pick out designs that I was incredibly happy with and made me feel comfortable when I was feeling nervous on getting my first belly and chest pieces lol. The staff are friendly, the shop is clean and organized as well as layered with beautiful art from other artist there, it is truly an exceptional place to go for anyone who wishes to get a piece of art they will love.

My son wanted his first tattoo to be the most most seamless process possible. First year at Chapman- why not?!We found Old Towne Tattoo Parlor on yelp and wanted a consultation. Turns out we met with Paul Reza and he was extremely friendly and walked us through the process and said he could tattoo my son right then!! The image we wanted was intricate and Paul did an amazing job replicating the drawing we brought in - great work, minimal pain and completed faster than we expected.Tattoo looks amazing - I highly recommend Paul Reza! @oldtownetattooparlor Read Less

This is my favorite tattoo parlor!  Go see Matty - he's tattooed me twice now and I've been super happy with the results both times.  Hope to have him work on me again at some point.  The shop is super clean, professional, conveniently located and everyone is super friendly. I highly recommend! Read Less

Came in to get a cover up of a really bad 90s belly tattoo and Matty exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. Came up with a far better idea to cover it, drew it up within the hour, and about 4-5 hours later I walked out with my latest piece. Highly recommend Matty and his work. Light hand, creative, reasonably priced, and I literally healed up within a week-can't say enough good things - and I will be coming back for the other pieces I have planned. Read Less

Nathan gave me my first tattoo & he did a sick job! The lettering he did was really awesome. My girlfriend also got a tattoo done by him & she left very happy by the results. I'd definitely recommend Nathan he's really talented & a super chill dude! Read Less

I had an idea from the Internet that I liked. I've always been told an artist with integrity won't copy someone's work directly. Medea customized the work I showed her to my liking, and she hooked it up. She's dope and yet another artist I felt like I can vibe with during the session. The flash on the walls from the other artists in this place looks great, but I really dig Medea's style. I'll be back in the near future and post the pics when I do. Read Less

Holy shit!!! Big shout out to La Goonies!!! She is professional, punctual and oh so talented!!! I am beyond in love and awe at my lady; she's my first arm tattoo and goonies put my mind at ease! It wasn't even painful at all she literally has the lightest hands on earth. Definitely kitty paws! Haha after we finished she put this awesome cover and let me just tell y'all it's a fucking game changer! This cover has been on me for 4 days! I work as a massage therapist and I was my hands and elbows constantly and maaaaaaan this cover pulled thru!! Thank you so much old towne!!! I'll be seeing you in the future! Read Less

My sister and I were referred to Paul (the owner) at Old Towne Tattoo. We had a great experience. Paul took great care to get our art just right and to talk to us about the process. These were our first tattoos. He did a great job, and it didn't hurt. The shop is very nice, clean and comfortable. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Tip: Bring cash. Read Less

Had an appointment with Pokey and as soon as I got there he was already set up and ready to start. Good conversation and super friendly staff. Clean and professional shop. I'm beyond stoked with my tattoo and already putting together ideas for my next one here. Wish I could give a few more stars because this place deserves it Read Less

I adore this place!!! I went here for my first tattoo yesterday and the staff is super friendly!! My tattoo artist, Chelsea Jane was the sweetest So calm and very informative!! Great artist too Definitely getting another piece done by her in the future. Read Less

I was there for my daughter’s 1st tattoo. What a wonderful experience. The staff is friendly. The tattoo artist is excellent and made my daughter feel comfortable. I am coming back for my first tattoo. Read Less

not sure who i spoke too but it was a male.. i simply asked about touch up on tattoos from his shop (as it WAS my shop where i got all my tattoos done). i was cursed at, threatened than again this man said for me to come get tattooed at his shop after threatening me with physical violence . and be aware if you call make sure you have all your questions on hand or you will get cursed at and be told you're "harassing" them. (tattoos are less than a year old and the artist guarantees there work and this is the way your treated) do you're self the favor and go to "fine tattoo work" they are aware of what customer service is! i hope you have a good day old town tattoo :) Read Less

Writing this review as I walk out the shop! I'm so glad I decided on Nathan Yoon (IG: ny00n)  to do a sternum piece I've been longing for. He designed a dope dagger after I picked one out that didn't quite work. We tried out different sizes and he offered really good insight on which size would work great with my body shape. I'm so glad I trusted him! He was very courteous and offered me water and let me take breaks, but also powered through even though he had to stand mostly for two hours to complete the piece. can't recommend him enough. Everyone in the shop was really nice and they played awesome music. Going to come back in the next few months. I have a feeling I'll get most of my tattoos from here in the future. Read Less

Great tattoo shop, got my first tattoo done by Nathan! Highly recommend him, his work is freaking phenomenal! Super nice guy definitely check him out! Will be going back to get more work from him soon! Read Less

Love this place! Friendly and super talented artists. Ive gotten some of my favorite tattoos done here. Matty has amazing colors and Tiffany does the most beautiful flowers!! Definitely worth checking out :) Read Less

Was looking for a tattoo artist and I was referred to Matty Higgins through a family member. He just did my second tattoo. Very awesome dude and easy to talk to when coming up with ideas. Sweet environment at Old Towne too. Nothing but good vibes since I've been coming here. Definitely going to keep on coming back. Read Less

I've been in 7 or 8 times now. Best tattoos I have are from here. More specifically Matty Higgins. Great dude, incredible artist. He will draw up anything for you and work with you until you love it. I have tattoos from other shops, but none are as good as this place. This is my go to spot for ink. Walk ins are more than welcome! Read Less

Really friendly tattoo shop! I've been here twice.Tiffany is AMAZING, she did beautiful flowers and bees on my arm. She really listened to the kinds of things I wanted to have in the tattoo and offered her own input as an artist, which I was grateful for. She was also very patient when I needed breaks. I'm positive I'll be going back to her in the future.Chelsea is also SO talented, she does amazing flash art, which is where I selected my tattoo from her. Her style is so cute! She's also extremely quick, so even though my tattoo is fairly big, it took maybe only an hour.The other artists who were in the shop while I was there were also very kind.I don't have a single negative thing to say about either of my experiences. Tiffany and Chelsea are stellar. Read Less

Carl was friendly and helpful while my girlfriend and I created and choosed our designs. He was very patient as we had him resize and move them multiple times before we started our sessions. The staff there were friendly and interacted with us and keep the energy up.  Over all very positive experience and I plan to come back.  Thank you for the help! Read Less

Tiffany did an amazing job on my tattoo.  I sent her a photo of what I was looking for and she drew up two options, both where amazing.  She listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations.  I'm in love with my tattoo, most importantly my mamma loved it too!  The shop is super clean and people are really friendly.  I'm happy I found Tiffany, I now have my go to person!! Read Less

Clean shop with good friendly people. I live in New England and have come here on 2 separate occasions to get tattooed by Matty. I've known Matty for over 20 years, when I found out he was tattooing I had been trying to find the right time and place to get some work done (just look at his art work). The first time Matty inked me was when my wife and I stopped through on a return trip from our honeymoon. I was so impressed by his light touch. Lines are solid and bold. Color is packed in and the shading adds just the right effect. I hadn't seen him in 15 years and I've now seen him twice in the last 5 months. Just finished another piece by him tonight and I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a solid tattoo that will hold up, go see him...you won't be sorry!! Read Less

Boyfriend and I were down from Montana visiting and stoped in to get get some tattoos! Very very pleased with the art that Matty did! It is the best tattoo I've received so far. Very clean establishment and very nice people! Definitely coming back next time we visit! Read Less

Tiffany is literally the best. She knows how to get me exactly what I want, when I trust her judgement. The key to a great tattoo is, letting the artist pick things out. They are, after all, the artist. Thank you for continually giving me what I want. Can't wait to come see you again! Read Less

I was recomnded y a frend whos had most of his done by Rando here so I was already sold bcause I loved his artwork on him. I brought a smallpeice of my own art to get as a Tattoo and couldn't be more happy with it. Not olny did he make sure it looke good but trid tomake it lok awesom by addng shading and little touches. I don't think I'll go anywhere alse. The place was also cleanand evryone was freindly. Couldn't find a better place Read Less

I've gotten both my tattoos done by Nathan here and am a fan.  Nathan makes you feel really comfortable, and listens to exactly what you want.  I was a big baby both times because i got them on sensitive spots, but he was super patient and sweet throughout the entire process.  I am super happy with my pieces, and am already planning the third :P The shop is clean and spacious, and everyone is always super welcoming.  Would definitely recommend!

Paul Aka Pokey had all my tattoos done and when i called him told him i wanted the bands and to get samoan wording for a tribute to my wife and the culture he came up with bamboo the Guy is great i recommend him thanks man The Wife and her Family love it. Read Less

I can't believe this is only my 2nd tattoo with Paul at Old Towne Tattoo Parlor as it already feels like I've known him forever! The atmosphere is open and inviting, the music is great and everyone there is friendly! I especially love how Paul and his peeps are able to put on an event that brings clients, friends and family together like an old school block party. Read Less

This is an amazing shop with an amazing staff!!! I will be a forever client. Very clean, honest and professional!! Tiffany Lynn did an entire stomach piece and was so sweet making sure I was as comfortable as I could be. She was patient with me when specific stops were harder than others!! Absolutely love her 💕 Read Less

Update: They saw this review and because of this cuppa thug and her gang of thugs jumped me. All because of this review. Talk about pathetic. I never said ANYTHING about his work but obviously you knew your work was crap to attack some one for this reason. Lame ass thugs. Never go there!! Original post: My wife and I wanted to get our sons name and date so we went to the tattoo shop. They said they could do it for like $70 a piece. So we did and she clearly told them 3-4-16 they accidentaly wrote it down wrong as 3-14-16 and we didn't notice tell the next day because at first we thought it was a slash so now we both have the wrong date on us ok so granted they showed it to us and we did not notice but it looked like a slash at first and when we came in to tell them about it dude got super defensive and RUDE. All we wanted was to fix it and for a couple of little TINY lines they wanted to charge another $60. I get it was BOTH of our mistakes but it was the next day, it meant A LOT to us and they could have just been nice and fixed it for us... Read Less

Cupa will take care of you! She Is sweet and has loads of talent! I just got a huge cross from covering almost half my arm for $220!

Unprofessional i regret referring friends and family to this place. Look somewhere else. Read Less
