I've generally don't post reviews. I always mean to but never want to post too early and have something change. As a warning, this review is detailed and talks about all the woes that come from a bad piercing.I went to Jimi's about two years ago and I got my nipples pierced. I had done research and knew what the aftercare would entail, he quoted a good price so I went. I had moved recently so I couldn't go to my usual piercer, a friend got tattooed there so suggested I go for my piercing.The waiting room was really uncomfortable, everything was very dated and there was a window where you could see into his work space. It was also really gross. In the time I waited, I was worried he would just pierce me and I would have no privacy. I had seen him do several tattoos and piercings already, although none so private.When he pulled me back I had a large male friend with me for comfort (nipple piercings hurt more than genital piercings, in my experience). So in the room there was my friend, Jimi, his assistant, and myself. He made a joke, asking if I thought he would just leave everything open as his assistant closed the curtain to the window and shut the door to the room. Feeling better about it, I took off my top and bra. He assessed my nipples and then without gloves, he pulled on them (fairly gently, I'll give him that) to harden them. He worked without gloves up until he started unwrapping the sterile needles and curved barbell. He used a Sharpie to mark where the piercings would be (that's really gross and not at all sanitary) after he used his bare hands to sanitize my nipples. He pierced me, it hurt, and he used pliers (hardware store pliers) to tighten my piercing fully.After he finished the piercing he insisted on the aftercare he had in store, which I purchased. His pricing was fair and I left relatively happy, but knowing I would not be going back for another piercing. He made me feel uncomfortable.I always double aftercare times for piercings, so the 6 months for my nipples automatically defaulted into a year. I had read that discharge was normal so I went on happily. There were a few mishaps when I first got the piercing (shower poofs are bad, things snag and bleeding insues) but I thought it was healing okay.Fast forward to July 3rd, I take off my bra at the end of the day and my nipples were so sore. I couldn't stand anything touching them, my husband said they felt hot, and I actually missed work for it. I didn't sleep well because I'm a stomach sleeper and that couldn't happen. I went to a doctor and they told me it was infected and than I might have to take them out.I went to a piercer I trust and he explained the problem. The barbells are too small, apparently I have large nipples and he placed small curved barbells. After two years of my nipples essentially not healing, they started growing over the barbells. They started swelling and leaking pus. The piercer told me that he would replace them with something larger. He ended up having to cut them off of me after a very painful attempt of taking them off manually. I gave genital piercings and they were a million times less painful than having my nipples repierced. Having them cleaned stung so bad my toes curled, I left that piercer feeling worn out and achy. I ended up having to take a weeks worth of antibiotics and stock up on gauze and saline spray. I essentially have brand new piercings that are slightly in the wrong spot. They leak, get crusty, and I have to spray them down 3 times a day and wash them with special soap and water everyday. They're still slightly sore and I don't have to take them out (anymore) but I wish I had just gone and paid more with a better piercer.

I got my first tattoo from Jimi about 30 years ago. It was a fine line black and grey before anyone else was doing it. I was and still am very proud to wear it. I relocated to Seattle and continued my tattoo collection. Recently I came back to Oxnard for a family reunion and was surprised to find out that Jimi was still in business. After a short conversation he invited me in and offered to help me with a tattoo that is very special to me and something that I have been putting off for some time. I just couldn't find the right artist to do it. Jimi was the only person working and tattooed me without an appointment. The shop was clean and his application was professional and sterile. I would not hesitate going back or recommending Jimi to anyone else. Rock on Jimi! You're the man. Can't wait to cross paths again.

To start off, I never review anything on yelp but in this instance I felt the need to share my experience with others. If you're looking for a place that breaks health code violations, overcharges and want to expose yourself to infections you've found the right place! You truly get what you pay for. I made the mistake of coming to Jimi's because it was the least expensive place in my area (yes, my mistake) and because one of my girl friends had came to Jimi before for a piercing previously. I had the intention of getting a Medusa piercing. He did not use proper sterilization techniques. First off, he just used something that seemed like hand sanitizer on my mouth. His tools that he used were unprofessional and not sterile-your piercer should have a sterile tool each time. At least he used a new needle, but that was the only new thing he used. He marked the spot on my mouth with a sharpie. Who knows how many people that sharpie marker has touched. Real professionals use ink and a toothpick to mark the spot. Once he was about to pierce me, he made me hold his own tools in place. Your client is never supposed to hold your own tools for you, that's so lazy! Once he pierced me, he tightened the crappy jewelry super tight with his other tools; so tight that getting the jewelry off would be impossible(more on this later). After the piercing was done it looked okay, but later on in the day I realized that MY PIERCING WAS CROOKED!! I mean he marked the spot and he still managed to make it crooked!! Honestly I have no idea how this place is still open. Fast forward a few days, the piercing got swollen and infected (even after cleaning and take care of the piercing) to the point where it was bothering me so much that I couldn't take it anymore, I had to take it off. As I mentioned earlier, he tightened the crappy jewelry so much that it was impossible to come off on its own; i needed help. There was no way i would go back to Jimi's shop and let him use his nasty toolbox tools (and he would probably charge me xtra to take the jewelry off) so I had to go to another shop, where an amazing woman had to work miracles to get it out. Moral of the story- don't be cheap and go to someone who actually gives a f about you. If you're in the area I recommend that you go down the street to Inkfatuation; they have good prices and the staff is reputable and friendly. I provided pictures of my crooked piercing. I have no idea how this place is still in business, the owner must have good connections. He causes the problem and then sell the solution. So evil.

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST PLACE TO GO SO PLEASE DONT GO THERE. My friend and I wanted piercings done. I had gotten my smiley done and she got her tongue done horizontally. First we walked in, the tattoos displayed were terrible and there's flies everywhere and the smell was kinda weird. Meeting Jimi was kinda getting the feeling he was on coke, honestly. His anxiousness and random babbling was concerning me. But we only went because he said each piercing would be $35. FREAKING AWESOME. But as he was billing us he added $12 for some sea salt spray I didn't even want, charged me an extra $10 for the horse shoe piercing that has two balls at the end and $5 for some numbing cream. I didn't want to pay the extra $12 and $5 but he was extremely pushy for me to do so, I felt uncomfortable so I just said whatever. I hate conflict. Anyways, I went first and asked if he was going to use claps for my smiley because that's what you're suppose to do...he didn't. He had his legit shed tools that were probably out of his tool box which I thought was kinda bizarre on his little working area but whatever. I literally had to sit on this tiny ass WOODEN SCHOOL DESK while he pierced into my flesh. Like I said, whatever. My piercing didn't hurt at all. And it sure wasn't because of that numbing cream, btw he slapped that shit in my mouth without warning and it tasted DISGUSTING, almost exactly like hand sanitizer. After piercing it, I look in the mirror and my piercing is fucking crooked. I was bleeding a lot too. He had pierced it to far deep on the right side...that wouldn't have happened if he used clamps..so I'm in the mirrow moving it to center up with my teeth and smile. It really pissed me off because I have ocd and it should be fucking centered. Anyways..My friend went after, no surprise he didn't use clamps which blew my cap back even more. It took him 10 minutes to put the ball on the end of her piercing which he used his nasty shed tool pliers. Meanwhile while my friend is crying cause the numbing cream did not help her at all, I'm in the mirror smiling at my crooked ass piercing and he kept telling me just stop messing with it. I wasn't messing with it, I was just looking at it. He proceeded to tell us to get tattooed by him and we both were like Uhm, no thank you. We're loyal to our tattoo artist wido at pain parlor by sea rounders in Port Hueneme. So go check his work out if you'd like. THEN he asked if I wanted one of those car stickers. I love stickers so I was like Uhm hell yeah, thanks. This dude was legit wouldn't give me my sticker unless he put the sticker on my car himself. Like no...I was just gunna put it on my laptop or something. I don't want to advertise your shitty shop on my new car...so I told him to keep it. Update to today, I still have my piercing in and I trained it to be Simi centered with my smile. Eventually I want to get it fixed.My friend took her piercing out three days after getting it done because it hurt way to much. Not to mention RIGHT AFTER HE PIERCED HER he was like "yay, I try to advise people not to get this specific piercing done because your tongue is two muscles and it will be hard to talk and chew" WELL SHIT DUDE, thanks for telling now after you just stabbed my friend with your shed tools. Moral of the story, he really honey dicked us with our money and dude does horrible work..

I have been going only to Jimi since I started my Tattoo journey 12 years ago.
I loved him and only trusted his team and experience.
My husband got his 2nd tattoo last year for his birthday and ended up with a Staph infection.
I didn't think anything major about it, getting a tattoo comes with risk.
But then my husband and I both decided to get new ink in honor of our children.
At this point in Jimi's career his has lost 2 of his main guys. I think he lost with out them. He was not clear thinking, couldn't answer questions never called us to tell is the amount till 2 hrs before we were supposed to be there.
My husband and I love our tattoos but not the mess that came after. My husband suffered a HUGE bruise and swelling and another staph infection.
I have 8 tattoos done by this man and never had any issues. A week later my foot is the size of a balloon, red up to my calf and hurts like heck. I have my first staph infection.
As much has I hate to say it, I think he reign is over.

Got my first parlor tatt from Jimi back in 1984 when he was in Louisiana. Looked so good went back for my second. Couple years later I'm shipping out of Port Hueneme and I see a tatt shop. My shipmates and I dropped in and lo and behold it was Jimi. Had him do some additions I wanted. It's been over 30 years and the color hasn't faded and the lines haven't thickened either. I'd recommend Jimi to anyone.

It is weird reading these comments on her because I went like some years ago and both my sister and I got tattoos on our wrist and Jimi was good to us. We got beautiful sisters in Italian and he said to make sure that it was spelled right and pronounced correctly before he started on us. All his stuff was cleaned and he had it in sanitizer bags then pulled his tools out. I am not sure what people are saying a tool box and nasty tools. But my experience was nothing like that and me and my sisters tatts are still dark and fresh! So for me I would go back again.

I was kicked out because I asked Jim to use a clean needle. I first started to have doubts when he broke out the lawn tools and proceeded to use his greasy cellphone while piercing my friends ear. Nevertheless I was still willing to have him do my tattoo. However when I asked him to use safe and clean habits while doing my tattoo, I pushed him over the edge and was asked to leave. Btw the awards on the wall are fake. Inkfatuation is just around the corner and is not run by people who have terrorist stickers in their windows!

This was the absolute worst place. My two friends and I walked in excited to get a piercing and a tattoo and we were treated like absolute trash by Jim. He was egotistical and all his equipment was dirty and disgusting. He got offended when we were asking safety questions and making sure he was using sterol equipment (since everything looked like it came out of his toolbox in his shed). He threw a full on tantrum and refused to do the tattoo. We were absolutely speechless when he basically threw us out for just asking simple questions. I would NEVER let anyone who I cared about or even hated go here!

I'm just sitting reminiscing on Google Maps, looking at the old places I've been to. I can't believe Jimmy tattoo is still there! I lived in Morgan City Louisiana for years, and took a job on oil rigs in California 4 Tidewater Marine in the late 90s. Got a tattoo at Jimi's. It still looks great. I have a Jimmy tattoo t-shirt also I got some paint on it painting my kitchen and it's a little bit snug but 20 years later I still have it. Jimmy told me he was from Morgan City originally what a small world.

I'm very pleased with the Scorpion (I'm a Scorpio) Jimmy did when I was working on the Toby Tide several years ago in California. I just happened upon his shop, while taking a break from cooking on the boat. His shop used to be right across Hwy 90 from Port Hardware, and Of course that was my Dad's and Pupjoint's Store. It really is a small world after all! Lol.

I was recommended this shop by three friends so I went here for my first tattoo, three six pointed stars on both of my ankles, and I was disappointed. While filling out paperwork it became clear to the guys working I was a "newbee" and didn't have much tattoo experience. They charged me a ridiculous $110 fee for six TINY stars when I could have easily gotten them elsewhere for $70 or less. I was with a friend who got a large quote on her leg which they also charged $90, a whopping $20 price less than mine. Now that I have some more tattoo experience I am thoroughly disappointed I was ridiculously overcharged for not only a SMALL tattoo, but tattoos with mistakes. One of the stars only had five points instead of six and none of them are completely filled in. Nice guys but don't be fooled by prices.

My hubs and I were vacationing in Oxnard, celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary! After doing some research of the different tattoo places we were near... I found that Jimi's out shined ALL THE OTHER PLACES! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a fist bump and a smile. Of course I was extremely nervous... but they took the time to walk me through the process and had it completed in little time. It came out so good my hubs got one also! We have decided that we will definitely drive the 1.5 hours the next time we decide we want another tattoo, because his work, the staffs professionalism, and calming nature was well worth it!

My husband and I have both been to Jimi's several times...I got my 5th tattoo from them tonight and could never go anywhere else. Besides their professionalism and awesome Tattoo shop they are the best bunch of guys around. We always look forward to our sessions and it's never dull!
I get endless compliments on Jimi's work and have brought two of my girlfriends in for tats and they were just thrilled with Jim, the guys, and of course the beautiful work.
The best part is when I go in unsure of what I want (color/size wise) Jim just seems to know, and it always comes out absolutely perfect! There is nobody better in town and it's worth the drive if you're out of the area....one of my friends came from Vegas! You'll be thrilled you went to Jimi's! Thanks Jim, Greg, & Johnny...you guys rock!

I have not had a tat done here, but rather a piercing some time back. Jimi pierced my eyebrow, and down the road, when I had trouble changing out my jewelry he was sweet enough to do this for me as well. I felt totally comfortable in his shop, and recommended him to some friends. These 2 ladies called and set up an appointment, then went and had matching ankle tats done by Jimi...they were both thrilled when they came back and showed off his work!! I would highly recommend Jimi's Tatoo Shop to anyone looking to get tatooed or pierced. Great vibes, friendly folks, and beautiful work!! It doesn't get much better than this!! Thanks JIMI for all you do!!

Don't do there. I went to Jimi's to have my Wife's name and a rose put on my right forearm as a commitment to our relationship. The tattoo blew up like a fish scale and to add insult to injury my wife said no thanks on reviving our marriage, I went back to Jimi and he said, ":Oh all tats look like that at first its fine don't worry," I saw my primary doctor two days later and showed it to him, he said, "What the hell is that thing?" he wrote me a scipt for heavy duty antibiotics and luckily it healed without having my arm amputated After it healed I went to Johnny's Tattoo in Simi Valley and had it covered up. I do't know if the same Jimi runs Jimi's Tattoo, this happened in 1993, but I would not take a chance, The dude damn near had my arm amputated. Horrible work and covered his work up with a lie.

Many times I brought my Own designs and they were tattooed exactly like I wanted. The stencil gives you the opportunity to get it right, Jimi and Crew care about getting it right, afterall, you'll be wearing this a long time. The Crew are fun & friendly, they all contribute to a Fine product. I knowthere is a slew of Tattoo parlors that have cropped up over the years but I return tothe place I call my TATTOO HOME-THANKS.

I've generally don't post reviews. I always mean to but never want to post too early and have something change. As a warning, this review is detailed and talks about all the woes that come from a bad piercing.I went to Jimi's about two years ago and I got my nipples pierced. I had done research and knew what the aftercare would entail, he quoted a good price so I went. I had moved recently so I couldn't go to my usual piercer, a friend got tattooed there so suggested I go for my piercing.The waiting room was really uncomfortable, everything was very dated and there was a window where you could see into his work space. It was also really gross. In the time I waited, I was worried he would just pierce me and I would have no privacy. I had seen him do several tattoos and piercings already, although none so private.When he pulled me back I had a large male friend with me for comfort (nipple piercings hurt more than genital piercings, in my experience). So in the room there was my friend, Jimi, his assistant, and myself. He made a joke, asking if I thought he would just leave everything open as his assistant closed the curtain to the window and shut the door to the room. Feeling better about it, I took off my top and bra. He assessed my nipples and then without gloves, he pulled on them (fairly gently, I'll give him that) to harden them. He worked without gloves up until he started unwrapping the sterile needles and curved barbell. He used a Sharpie to mark where the piercings would be (that's really gross and not at all sanitary) after he used his bare hands to sanitize my nipples. He pierced me, it hurt, and he used pliers (hardware store pliers) to tighten my piercing fully.After he finished the piercing he insisted on the aftercare he had in store, which I purchased. His pricing was fair and I left relatively happy, but knowing I would not be going back for another piercing. He made me feel uncomfortable.I always double aftercare times for piercings, so the 6 months for my nipples automatically defaulted into a year. I had read that discharge was normal so I went on happily. There were a few mishaps when I first got the piercing (shower poofs are bad, things snag and bleeding insues) but I thought it was healing okay.Fast forward to July 3rd, I take off my bra at the end of the day and my nipples were so sore. I couldn't stand anything touching them, my husband said they felt hot, and I actually missed work for it. I didn't sleep well because I'm a stomach sleeper and that couldn't happen. I went to a doctor and they told me it was infected and than I might have to take them out.I went to a piercer I trust and he explained the problem. The barbells are too small, apparently I have large nipples and he placed small curved barbells. After two years of my nipples essentially not healing, they started growing over the barbells. They started swelling and leaking pus. The piercer told me that he would replace them with something larger. He ended up having to cut them off of me after a very painful attempt of taking them off manually. I gave genital piercings and they were a million times less painful than having my nipples repierced. Having them cleaned stung so bad my toes curled, I left that piercer feeling worn out and achy. I ended up having to take a weeks worth of antibiotics and stock up on gauze and saline spray. I essentially have brand new piercings that are slightly in the wrong spot. They leak, get crusty, and I have to spray them down 3 times a day and wash them with special soap and water everyday. They're still slightly sore and I don't have to take them out (anymore) but I wish I had just gone and paid more with a better piercer.

I got my first tattoo from Jimi about 30 years ago. It was a fine line black and grey before anyone else was doing it. I was and still am very proud to wear it. I relocated to Seattle and continued my tattoo collection. Recently I came back to Oxnard for a family reunion and was surprised to find out that Jimi was still in business. After a short conversation he invited me in and offered to help me with a tattoo that is very special to me and something that I have been putting off for some time. I just couldn't find the right artist to do it. Jimi was the only person working and tattooed me without an appointment. The shop was clean and his application was professional and sterile. I would not hesitate going back or recommending Jimi to anyone else. Rock on Jimi! You're the man. Can't wait to cross paths again.

To start off, I never review anything on yelp but in this instance I felt the need to share my experience with others. If you're looking for a place that breaks health code violations, overcharges and want to expose yourself to infections you've found the right place! You truly get what you pay for. I made the mistake of coming to Jimi's because it was the least expensive place in my area (yes, my mistake) and because one of my girl friends had came to Jimi before for a piercing previously. I had the intention of getting a Medusa piercing. He did not use proper sterilization techniques. First off, he just used something that seemed like hand sanitizer on my mouth. His tools that he used were unprofessional and not sterile-your piercer should have a sterile tool each time. At least he used a new needle, but that was the only new thing he used. He marked the spot on my mouth with a sharpie. Who knows how many people that sharpie marker has touched. Real professionals use ink and a toothpick to mark the spot. Once he was about to pierce me, he made me hold his own tools in place. Your client is never supposed to hold your own tools for you, that's so lazy! Once he pierced me, he tightened the crappy jewelry super tight with his other tools; so tight that getting the jewelry off would be impossible(more on this later). After the piercing was done it looked okay, but later on in the day I realized that MY PIERCING WAS CROOKED!! I mean he marked the spot and he still managed to make it crooked!! Honestly I have no idea how this place is still open. Fast forward a few days, the piercing got swollen and infected (even after cleaning and take care of the piercing) to the point where it was bothering me so much that I couldn't take it anymore, I had to take it off. As I mentioned earlier, he tightened the crappy jewelry so much that it was impossible to come off on its own; i needed help. There was no way i would go back to Jimi's shop and let him use his nasty toolbox tools (and he would probably charge me xtra to take the jewelry off) so I had to go to another shop, where an amazing woman had to work miracles to get it out. Moral of the story- don't be cheap and go to someone who actually gives a f about you. If you're in the area I recommend that you go down the street to Inkfatuation; they have good prices and the staff is reputable and friendly. I provided pictures of my crooked piercing. I have no idea how this place is still in business, the owner must have good connections. He causes the problem and then sell the solution. So evil.

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST PLACE TO GO SO PLEASE DONT GO THERE. My friend and I wanted piercings done. I had gotten my smiley done and she got her tongue done horizontally. First we walked in, the tattoos displayed were terrible and there's flies everywhere and the smell was kinda weird. Meeting Jimi was kinda getting the feeling he was on coke, honestly. His anxiousness and random babbling was concerning me. But we only went because he said each piercing would be $35. FREAKING AWESOME. But as he was billing us he added $12 for some sea salt spray I didn't even want, charged me an extra $10 for the horse shoe piercing that has two balls at the end and $5 for some numbing cream. I didn't want to pay the extra $12 and $5 but he was extremely pushy for me to do so, I felt uncomfortable so I just said whatever. I hate conflict. Anyways, I went first and asked if he was going to use claps for my smiley because that's what you're suppose to do...he didn't. He had his legit shed tools that were probably out of his tool box which I thought was kinda bizarre on his little working area but whatever. I literally had to sit on this tiny ass WOODEN SCHOOL DESK while he pierced into my flesh. Like I said, whatever. My piercing didn't hurt at all. And it sure wasn't because of that numbing cream, btw he slapped that shit in my mouth without warning and it tasted DISGUSTING, almost exactly like hand sanitizer. After piercing it, I look in the mirror and my piercing is fucking crooked. I was bleeding a lot too. He had pierced it to far deep on the right side...that wouldn't have happened if he used clamps..so I'm in the mirrow moving it to center up with my teeth and smile. It really pissed me off because I have ocd and it should be fucking centered. Anyways..My friend went after, no surprise he didn't use clamps which blew my cap back even more. It took him 10 minutes to put the ball on the end of her piercing which he used his nasty shed tool pliers. Meanwhile while my friend is crying cause the numbing cream did not help her at all, I'm in the mirror smiling at my crooked ass piercing and he kept telling me just stop messing with it. I wasn't messing with it, I was just looking at it. He proceeded to tell us to get tattooed by him and we both were like Uhm, no thank you. We're loyal to our tattoo artist wido at pain parlor by sea rounders in Port Hueneme. So go check his work out if you'd like. THEN he asked if I wanted one of those car stickers. I love stickers so I was like Uhm hell yeah, thanks. This dude was legit wouldn't give me my sticker unless he put the sticker on my car himself. Like no...I was just gunna put it on my laptop or something. I don't want to advertise your shitty shop on my new car...so I told him to keep it. Update to today, I still have my piercing in and I trained it to be Simi centered with my smile. Eventually I want to get it fixed.My friend took her piercing out three days after getting it done because it hurt way to much. Not to mention RIGHT AFTER HE PIERCED HER he was like "yay, I try to advise people not to get this specific piercing done because your tongue is two muscles and it will be hard to talk and chew" WELL SHIT DUDE, thanks for telling now after you just stabbed my friend with your shed tools. Moral of the story, he really honey dicked us with our money and dude does horrible work..

I have been going only to Jimi since I started my Tattoo journey 12 years ago.
I loved him and only trusted his team and experience.
My husband got his 2nd tattoo last year for his birthday and ended up with a Staph infection.
I didn't think anything major about it, getting a tattoo comes with risk.
But then my husband and I both decided to get new ink in honor of our children.
At this point in Jimi's career his has lost 2 of his main guys. I think he lost with out them. He was not clear thinking, couldn't answer questions never called us to tell is the amount till 2 hrs before we were supposed to be there.
My husband and I love our tattoos but not the mess that came after. My husband suffered a HUGE bruise and swelling and another staph infection.
I have 8 tattoos done by this man and never had any issues. A week later my foot is the size of a balloon, red up to my calf and hurts like heck. I have my first staph infection.
As much has I hate to say it, I think he reign is over.

Got my first parlor tatt from Jimi back in 1984 when he was in Louisiana. Looked so good went back for my second. Couple years later I'm shipping out of Port Hueneme and I see a tatt shop. My shipmates and I dropped in and lo and behold it was Jimi. Had him do some additions I wanted. It's been over 30 years and the color hasn't faded and the lines haven't thickened either. I'd recommend Jimi to anyone.

It is weird reading these comments on her because I went like some years ago and both my sister and I got tattoos on our wrist and Jimi was good to us. We got beautiful sisters in Italian and he said to make sure that it was spelled right and pronounced correctly before he started on us. All his stuff was cleaned and he had it in sanitizer bags then pulled his tools out. I am not sure what people are saying a tool box and nasty tools. But my experience was nothing like that and me and my sisters tatts are still dark and fresh! So for me I would go back again.

I was kicked out because I asked Jim to use a clean needle. I first started to have doubts when he broke out the lawn tools and proceeded to use his greasy cellphone while piercing my friends ear. Nevertheless I was still willing to have him do my tattoo. However when I asked him to use safe and clean habits while doing my tattoo, I pushed him over the edge and was asked to leave. Btw the awards on the wall are fake. Inkfatuation is just around the corner and is not run by people who have terrorist stickers in their windows!

This was the absolute worst place. My two friends and I walked in excited to get a piercing and a tattoo and we were treated like absolute trash by Jim. He was egotistical and all his equipment was dirty and disgusting. He got offended when we were asking safety questions and making sure he was using sterol equipment (since everything looked like it came out of his toolbox in his shed). He threw a full on tantrum and refused to do the tattoo. We were absolutely speechless when he basically threw us out for just asking simple questions. I would NEVER let anyone who I cared about or even hated go here!

I'm just sitting reminiscing on Google Maps, looking at the old places I've been to. I can't believe Jimmy tattoo is still there! I lived in Morgan City Louisiana for years, and took a job on oil rigs in California 4 Tidewater Marine in the late 90s. Got a tattoo at Jimi's. It still looks great. I have a Jimmy tattoo t-shirt also I got some paint on it painting my kitchen and it's a little bit snug but 20 years later I still have it. Jimmy told me he was from Morgan City originally what a small world.

I have had 2 tattoos here done almost 20 years apart.. Both are amazing and the one I got done 20 years ago looks as good as the one I got yesterday. I won't go anywhere else but here from now on. Jim gets to know each client and makes you feel welcome, he is knowledgeable and has the experience to back that knowledge up.

I'm very pleased with the Scorpion (I'm a Scorpio) Jimmy did when I was working on the Toby Tide several years ago in California. I just happened upon his shop, while taking a break from cooking on the boat. His shop used to be right across Hwy 90 from Port Hardware, and Of course that was my Dad's and Pupjoint's Store. It really is a small world after all! Lol.

I was recommended this shop by three friends so I went here for my first tattoo, three six pointed stars on both of my ankles, and I was disappointed. While filling out paperwork it became clear to the guys working I was a "newbee" and didn't have much tattoo experience. They charged me a ridiculous $110 fee for six TINY stars when I could have easily gotten them elsewhere for $70 or less. I was with a friend who got a large quote on her leg which they also charged $90, a whopping $20 price less than mine. Now that I have some more tattoo experience I am thoroughly disappointed I was ridiculously overcharged for not only a SMALL tattoo, but tattoos with mistakes. One of the stars only had five points instead of six and none of them are completely filled in. Nice guys but don't be fooled by prices.

My hubs and I were vacationing in Oxnard, celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary! After doing some research of the different tattoo places we were near... I found that Jimi's out shined ALL THE OTHER PLACES! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a fist bump and a smile. Of course I was extremely nervous... but they took the time to walk me through the process and had it completed in little time. It came out so good my hubs got one also! We have decided that we will definitely drive the 1.5 hours the next time we decide we want another tattoo, because his work, the staffs professionalism, and calming nature was well worth it!

My husband and I have both been to Jimi's several times...I got my 5th tattoo from them tonight and could never go anywhere else. Besides their professionalism and awesome Tattoo shop they are the best bunch of guys around. We always look forward to our sessions and it's never dull!
I get endless compliments on Jimi's work and have brought two of my girlfriends in for tats and they were just thrilled with Jim, the guys, and of course the beautiful work.
The best part is when I go in unsure of what I want (color/size wise) Jim just seems to know, and it always comes out absolutely perfect! There is nobody better in town and it's worth the drive if you're out of the area....one of my friends came from Vegas! You'll be thrilled you went to Jimi's! Thanks Jim, Greg, & Johnny...you guys rock!

I have not had a tat done here, but rather a piercing some time back. Jimi pierced my eyebrow, and down the road, when I had trouble changing out my jewelry he was sweet enough to do this for me as well. I felt totally comfortable in his shop, and recommended him to some friends. These 2 ladies called and set up an appointment, then went and had matching ankle tats done by Jimi...they were both thrilled when they came back and showed off his work!! I would highly recommend Jimi's Tatoo Shop to anyone looking to get tatooed or pierced. Great vibes, friendly folks, and beautiful work!! It doesn't get much better than this!! Thanks JIMI for all you do!!

Don't do there. I went to Jimi's to have my Wife's name and a rose put on my right forearm as a commitment to our relationship. The tattoo blew up like a fish scale and to add insult to injury my wife said no thanks on reviving our marriage, I went back to Jimi and he said, ":Oh all tats look like that at first its fine don't worry," I saw my primary doctor two days later and showed it to him, he said, "What the hell is that thing?" he wrote me a scipt for heavy duty antibiotics and luckily it healed without having my arm amputated After it healed I went to Johnny's Tattoo in Simi Valley and had it covered up. I do't know if the same Jimi runs Jimi's Tattoo, this happened in 1993, but I would not take a chance, The dude damn near had my arm amputated. Horrible work and covered his work up with a lie.

Just left Jimi's Tattoo with another "Satisfaction-Guaranteed-My-Own-Self-Approval-Tattoo". I've been coming back to Jimi;s for many years. They have alwaystaken care of the important stuff-Hygiene, info for after care, etc.It's always been a pleasant environment & experience. Many times I brought my Own designs and they were tattooed exactly like I wanted. The stencil gives you the opportunity to get it right, Jimi and Crew care about getting it right, afterall, you'll be wearing this a long time. The Crew are fun & friendly, they all contribute to a Fine product. I knowthere is a slew of Tattoo parlors that have cropped up over the years but I return tothe place I call my TATTOO HOME-THANKS.

Love Jimi's, everyone's really cool and actually interested in what you want. Really solid black work, no scarring, blurring or blue fading like my other tattoo. I've seen my friends tatts from other houses in the area and they're totally warped looking, he's the only one I trust my skin to.
