Customer service is bad. Smh I got my nose pierced and they did not tell me how to care for it after piercing. They gave me an aftercare pamphlet rather than explaining to me how to clean it, care for it, etc Read Less

Ear piercing guy is a joke. Was told he would be in at 5 we came at 550 he wasn't there. The douche that was there called him. First off no studs only 16 gauge.....ridiculous. Then the jerk on the phone says it's going to be $70 for him to come in and do it..... I don't think so, I've been here a few times but I won't be coming back. Lazy and horrible customer service. Read Less

The studio is on my way to work n home so its been years, have been planning to get my piercing here since lots of people say its the best n safest way to do. Came inside the place smells nice, chill vibe n greeted right away. $70 buck for two piercings which i think it's pretty good cuz it costs $45 for one. Rob did them for me n i was glad cuz we were joking around (i asked for teddy bear n local anesthesia ) cuz i was nervous. He did it very fast and careful. After that i asked him some info about tattoos cuz i wanna get one and he is very nice when he explained it to me. Planning to go back to Rob for another piercings n hopefully my first tattoo.

Had a tattoo appointment with Rob for a floral, filigree chest piece. The whole experience was easy and Rob was very pleasant to work with. He took all my ideas and created something unique so I could have a tattoo thats just my own without it being a replica of anything else. He stayed in communication from the time I set up the appointment to appointment day texting me ideas to make sure he was creating something with styles that I liked best. The tattoo process was very comfortable. He was light handed which makes a difference because I have worked with artists who are heavy handed with the needle and it makes the process way more painful. But Rob was light handed which helped me to stay relaxed and sit through the whole thing without any discomfort. We only did line work this session but I look forward to finishing the piece.

I have gone to them for four different tattoos and each time I have been unhappy with the way they have turned out. The artists are not very friendly and in my opinion not very skilled. So far I have gotten two of the tattoos covered up with tattoos from a different studio. I am also planning on getting one more covered up. If you want a nice tattoo done right and done by friendly people go somewhere else. I so regret ever going there. Read Less

Rob was extremely rude to us when a friend and I came in for small tattoos. Charged us $60 each for tattoos that are uneven. I asked him for red and he told me he didn't want to do it because it would fade or bleed which to me means he's obviously not confident in his own skills. He seemed extremely uninterested in what he was doing and very unfriendly. Got a scorpion and you can tell that in one of the claws and the tail that they are much thicker than any of the other lines. Read Less

My daughter just got a piercing here a couple of days ago. They told her to clean it with alcohol. Alcohol dries it up and slows down the healing. Anyone with piercing knows this. Very disappointed in them. Read Less

Im super happy with everything at this location. The price was great, the shop was really clean and smelled amazing and I couldnt be more happy with how my tattoo came out with Rudy! Yes I will be back for more now that my brother and I have discovered this place. Read Less

So I walk in wanting to get a tattoo and there's a bunch of women sitting in the lounge area. I walk up to the front desk and there's the tattoo artist sitting there drawing something up.  Dude doesn't pick up his head once to acknowledge me.  I had to ask him if he's available to do a tat.. he mumbled in about 45 minutes still not picking up his head. So I was like screw this I'm out! Unprofessional AF! Read Less

This was my first time at the shop and I had a great experience! Rudy did my tattoo and I absolutely love it! He was super chill and genuinely cared about doing a good job, I will come back here when I need another tattoo. Read Less

This shop is awesome!!! It was clean, the staff was nice and polite unlike other tattoo shops. I went to get my nose pierced on Memorial Day and I could tell that they probably was doin appointments only but as a walk in they was able to squeeze me in real quick!! I will come here again when I ready for body art!! Read Less

This tattoo shop rocks! Jon was my artist and he is AMAZING! He's a master at shading and colors. So personable and fun. He made the 3 hour session fly by. The music they play rocks! Keep playing my classics Jon that's what real rock n roll sounds like! Thank you so much for my masterpiece! See you soon. Read Less

I came here for my first tattoo which I recieved from Jon, I cannot begin to describe how happy I am. His positive demeanor and ability to communicate put me at ease and I am very happy with the tattoo that he did for me. The shop was clean, you have a complete view of the artists working so you know they have nothing to hide. I went to 3 different shops before coming here and I knew this would be my new tattoo shop. Thanks Jon and Claremont tattoo, you earned a loyal customer :) Read Less

Great shop very cool vibe. The Artist I use is Jon. He has worked on me for 40+ hours. And more to come. He is talented, open minded and good guy to bounce ideas off of with out the rush attitude. He is picky, he wants to make sure the client is happy with what they walk away with. So not a "shot gun"tattoo artist, details and clients satisfaction is his thing. Read Less

We were just driving though and spontaneously decided to stop here and get a tattoo. Making an appointment was super easy and the artists were very helpful in helping me decide on the details of the tattoo I wanted.I got my tattoo done by Buddy and I'm completely obsessed. It turned out to be such a beautiful piece and I cannot wait to come back and get more work done! Read Less

checked in with Lawrence/Buddy, who is the owner and cover up specialist. I had an old faded Raider tattoo on my upper left arm i wanted to cover, i thought since it was mostly black that we had limited options but Lawrence showed his mad skills and did an amazing job. After several text exchanges i settled on a design and after 4 hours it was complete. If i decide to add anymore this is the place I'll be coming back to, Thanks Lawrence! Read Less

Great place! Have passed by it several times a day for years. Stopped in on a recommendation from my Aunt. Super clean and uncluttered! Everyone was very friendly. Buddy was my artist and gave me exactly what I wanted. Couldn't be happier. Will definitely be back and have already told some friends who will be going in. :) Read Less

so happy with my experience and my tattoo. I've been tattooed by Jon and Buddy. Today Buddy was my artist i had a consultation with him and set up an appt (they do take walk ins)  very nice people and Buddy is a really cool guy. Very clean and profressional, they're wonderful at tattooing -overall love this shop. Read Less

I have been coming to this shop for about 7 years. Rob is my go to. He is versatile in styles, listens to you, and quality tattooing. Anyone you meet in this shop is always polite and easy to talk to. Always great conversations while you’re being worked on. I am always referring people to Rob and Claremont tattoo. With my profession I am glad I don’t need to cover them up anymore, I get complemented through the day on my work. Thanks Rob for always giving me my morbidly beautiful work. Read Less

This is by far the most talented tattoo staff in the entire Inland Empire area, not to mention San Bernardino county. I get all of my work done by Rob Morales, but the other artists are just as good. If you're looking for a clean portrait or a unique piece, this is the place to go to. If you've never heard about Claremont Tattoo, it's the hidden gem of Rancho Cucamonga... by far. Check my boy out on Instagram @ blackheartartistry. You won't be disappointed. Read Less

So happy I came back here for a second tattoo. Buddy did an AMAZING job on perfecting a coverup piece . It hurt like hell but sooooo worth the 3 1/2 hours of pain. The shop is super clean, friendly staff and art work that goes beyond expectations. Definitely going back here for my next session and any of those after. Read Less

Words can not explain how AWESOME this shop is. So clean, sanitary, organized and comfortable environment. I especially love that they are open 7 days a week so that is super convenient even for those that work odd hours. Everyone is extremely personable, professional and does outstanding work. My Artist is Rob and I have been seeing him for a few years now. He corrected a botched tattoo that I had done elsewhere and exceeded my expectations. We are now working on finishing full arm and I could not be happier with the results. He is quick, straight to the point and always makes sure I am 100% satisfied from the sketching to the finished product. Prices are more than reasonable considering the quality that you are getting. All of my tattoos have healed beautifully and the experience alone is the best I've ever experienced. So if you are looking for a tattoo home Claremont Tattoo Studio should be it! Follow on Instagram and/or Facebook for more pics of their work. You will not be disappointed!! Read Less

I went in for my first tattoo, as soon as I walked in I was greeted by the staff and my artist Rudy would be taking care of me. Rudy helped me pick the right size for my tattoo. Rudy took the time to explain the process to me and showed me the instruments. The shop was very clean and all the artists were friendly. I will be returning to Rudy for my next tattoo. Read Less

Good team of guys. Old school meets new school.... Rudy did my first and second tattoos.. Treated me with nothing but respect through the whole process. He was great, answered my questions and just made me feel comfy and at home. Clean place and sanitary.... sidenote. I'm a wheelchair user which can sometimes throw people off. However not here. Certainly not Rudy. I have a service dog that stayed in the waiting area because of sanitary reasons. I really appreciated that actually. But they let her stay where I could still see her and talk with her. I have really bad spasms which Rudy repeatedly reassured wasn't and wouldn't be any issue. It wasn't at all. We figured out how to deal with the spasms. Which are more painful than both of my tattoo sessions combined... Thank you Rudy & team..... Looking forward to some more work.. Read Less

Very professional, Clean environment, EXTREMELY TALENTED ARTISTS. My tattoo artist is Buddy, who's been working in the biz for decades, He even tattooed my mom when she was young. He's a total sweetheart. I love his work and Jon is very creative. I see their work on instagram and facebook and its just incredible. I love this place and will always go here for tattoos! Read Less

My daughter and I went in to get matching tattoos before she went back to college. The staff here were very professional and nice. Rudy was the best! He designed our tattoo and did an awesome job! Thank you so much! Read Less

Walked in this afternoon to a very clean and kept shop, and only waited a few minutes before Lawrence (the artist formerly known as Buddy) to look at the image I wanted inked. He was very clearly experienced and calmer/kinder than he needed to be with me, so if your new or nervous he must be an awesome tattooer for the job. Anxious to see what he renders for the piece I want to get done next!! Read Less

Super awesome tattoo shop... we have worked with Rob and Jon and we love them both! AwesomeRates and talented artist.. here are just a few pics of the work we have had done.. we have also go piercing and those have healed wonderfully too... Read Less

I went today for the Friday the 13th special. There were 150 designs to choose from and three tattoo artists. I got Buddy, who was nothing but professional and friendly! He eased any anxiety I had and made me feel more relaxed. The tattoo looks amazing and exactly what I wanted!! I would come back and see Buddy for any of my tattoo needs in the future! Highly recommend!! Read Less

Rob is amazing I had a very simple idea for a tattoo and his pick of colors made it amazing. He was very patient with me being picky about the exact placement of my tattoo. I will definitely be getting another tattoo here. His artwork is amazingRead Less

I recently went in and got a quote and a new tattoo, Rob was very friendly and did an amazing job, he took my ideas and sketched me something really cool. It turned out really good! The place is really clean as well. Read Less

Went in yesterday for a first visit, I had to wait for Rob to even acknowledge that I was in the building I thought another guy worked there because he made eye contact in a weird kind of way. So I start asking him a question and he says he doesn't work. Then Rob starts talking and the first thing he says is he doesn't have any appointments for today and I say I didn't want one for today, just wanted to get a price on what I would have wanted, but not there. Wont get my business or my money. First impression is everything remember that Rob. Read Less

I just wanted to take the time & write something. I got my Daith pierced a few days ago by Rob & everything went great! I was in and out without any problems. Got a few tattoo quotes & his card. I've had no pain or any problems with my piercing & I love it. I just wanted to write something because their former piercer messaged me on Facebook & told me to come to her new place of work because Rob sucks & so on. I was taken by surprise by this because Rob was GREAT. Super friendly & gave me a few tips & insight. This is not my first piercing (6th to be exact) I also have several tattoos... So to hear negative things about someone so chill was ridiculous. I would definitely recommend it. Great pricings, completely fair in my eyes. Keep it up guys! Read Less

Came here about two months ago and got a tattoo of an octopus by Robby at the last minute. Super efficient and more than capable with what I had in mind. I love my tattoo, the healing was cool, and the design was amazing. Read Less

I'm 57 years old and came here for my first tattoo. Jon was my artist, he was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. He was easy to talk to and my tattoo turned out beautiful!   I would recommend Jon to anyone who is a little nervous about that first one! Read Less

Came here for the second time since moving out here and this time Rob M was the artist on duty.  I told him what I wanted and made an appointment to come back the following day.   He did an amazing job.  He work was so good that a few days later I brought.my neice in to get some work done.  He is detailed and knows his stuff.   Great artist, I highly recommend this guy. Read Less

I first came to this place years ago when I got my lip pierced by Rob Morales. Since then I've gotten 5 tattoos done here and i love them all. The whole staff is pretty friendly and the Owner- Buddy is an amazing artist. I was just here for their Friday the 13th Tattoo Special. The first time they had it, it was a little crazed, but this time around they seemed to have everything organized. I got Rob to do my tattoos and I am totally in love with them and they are healing nicely. I can't wait to have him do some of my future. Read Less

Got my belly button pierced here. I filled out the paperwork and was called back with no wait. Rob was so nice and patient with me for being so nervous lol. He asked me if I wanted him to count to 3 or to just do it. So obviously he cares about his clients. The explanation aftercare was not explained really all that much. He just told me to get saline for it. My friend that I went with told me more about the aftercare. Anyways, when I was paying, Rob kept asking me if I felt okay, making sure I wasn't dizzy or anything. He was so nice! The place is also very clean. Read Less

Very disappointed!!  I was really anticipating getting a lot of work done at this shop, but unfortunately the level of professionalism that one of their artists had expressed was deplorable.  I don't have time to wait for an artist to show up when they feel like and unprepared for my appointment, which was made 3 weeks in advance.  Even after giving my artist a chance to redeem himself, I was left with further disappointment.  There was no excuse for lack of preparation for this appointment.  It is a shame because there is a lot of talent at this shop.  Despite my artists (lack) punctuality and readiness,  Buddy and Jon were very professional.  Jon was more sympathetic about this situation than my own artist.  Needless to say, deposit refunded and my time wasted!!  First impressions do make a difference, even at a tattoo shop.

To start off, I have had many piercings done by many different piercers, and I even did a few myself when I was a teenager. Bad idea, I know. Point is, I have never had so much trouble with a piercing.When I was 15 I pierced my nostril any my own lip twice. My lip swelled a bit but other than that I never had any trouble and had the piercings for a long time. I currently have top and bottom belly button, both nostrils, septum, tongue, industrial and lobe piercings. All of my nose piercings and my bottom naval were all done by my usual piercer but yesterday I had a strong urge to go get a new piercing and my piercer was out of town. I made the mistake of going to a piercer that I don't know and trust, but after reading the yelp reviews I was under the impression that the old piercer was pretty clueless but that there was now a new one.So I go in for a basic lip piercing. Simple. I've had my lip pierced 3 times before, like I said two I did myself and one I had professionally done once I was of age and realized that I should not be piercing myself. The place is fine, I was greeted and everyone was friendly and the place looked clean. I fill out the paperwork and lay down to get pierced. For those of us who have been pierced multiple times, you know that it's usually pretty quick. Skin is different depending on the body part/presence of cartilage and what not, I get it. But having had 18 piercings in my life, 15 of those done professionally, I know that getting the needle through should not take more than a few seconds even in an area where the skin is tougher. After I was cleaned and clamped and he initially started pushing the needle through, I was in the chair for a solid ten minutes before i had the jewelry in. I asked what was going on and he just told me it was being difficult. After a few more minutes I ask again and he tells me to calm down. I'm not nervous about piercings. I was calm. I simply wanted to know why he was fiddling with my lip for so long and what was going wrong. He tried to explain that the needle was sticking as if it was not lubricated and that he wouldn't be able to get the jewelry in but that the needle was now all the way through.He takes it out and says that I can either leave or that he can try again. I figured that since I had already gone through the pain I might as well tough it out. My mistake. He had to pierce it again, I'm not sure if it went through the original hole he made because it hurt like hell the second time. Until yesterday, I have never had a lip piercing that was more than a slight pinch.So he finally gets the jewelry in and my lip just looks extremely irritated and a little swollen. He tells me it's free because of all the trouble. I thank him and leave. About an hour later the jewelry falls out, the ball just came right off the stud. I tried to put it back in but couldn't. Went back in as fast as I could and he told me he could put a horseshoe in. After 5 more minutes of forcing that through my lip, I leave again with an extremely sore lip. He told me several times  that sometimes the balls fall off of the jewelry. As I said, I have had 18 piercings. I am well aware of this. But an hour after I get it, it shouldn't already be falling out.So in the end here I am with an incredibly swollen lip. The only piercing that has ever swelled was the lip piercing I did myself with a safety pin and no clamp, but that was not nearly this bad. So here I am debating whether I should take it out after all that pain or wait it out and risk having a f****d up lip.I don't know what the hell happened yesterday and maybe he usually knows what he's doing but I will not be back.

Back in 2002 I made a bad decision and got tattoos on my feet. It took years to figure out that they didn't mean what I thought they did, so of course I started searching for the possibility of a coverup. I was referred to Brian at Claremont Tattoo and I couldn't be more pleased. He covered my old tattoos with beautiful roses and it looks great! He took his time to make sure it came out right and made the whole experience such a pleasure... Actually all of the guys there did! They have a great staff of employees! I would definitely recommend coming here and plan to go back again when I decided on my next tattoo. Thank you Claremont tattoo! & special thanks to Brian for an awesome experience and beautiful tattoos! Read Less

I have been going to buddy well over 6 years now and I have never been disappointed. Not only is he well priced, he has always worked with me on my tattoos. He has listened to my ideas about pieces and always politely offered his advice and opinion. He does beautiful work, a good price, and flexible with his hours. I have always recommended him to my friends. So far he has done a tattoo on the back of my neck, almost my full back, my ribs/thigh piece, tattoo on my stomach, ankle, and we are currently working on my sleeve..I love his work! Read Less

These guys are so nice and so professional! They are always helpful and they won't do a tattoo if they think it will not turn out the way it should. There was a guy at the front of the shop named Robert and he is so sweet and amazing! He is very knowledgeable and very articulate. Go to this shop!!! Read Less
