I've been coming to this shop for More than 8 years. Honestly the first time I came in was juuust to accompany my best friend to get her first tattoo. There are 3 tattoo shops on Orange Street in Redlands, and as 18 year old girls we had never stepped foot in one till that day. That night we went to Inkfamous & I remember it perfectly! My friend picked her tattoo out and the guy with no tattoos was about to tattoo my friend! I found that interesting and asked him about it, told us he promised his mother when he was a kid he would never get one. He became a tattoo artist and still kept his promise. While waiting we were hanging out with the other guys and they were cracking jokes and hilarious and rowdy! I asked about a hundred questions that night and every one of them got answered. I then had the courage to get one, talked to this guy with a goatee & told him I'd come back. I needed to be sure I'd be happy with my choice of a tattoo. We came back the following week and I got my first tattoo. Then the next week for my second one. To this day I love them both. They have a meaning behind each. We liked the owner Juan & the guys so much that my friend and I kept coming back! And each time we'd just hang out & over the years I've gotten nose & earring piercings, tongue piercing, (did u know not everyone can get a tongue piercing because of the veins that run under the tongue?) I've gotten all of my piercings here... Trust me you'll love them! Over the years, the shop was my sanctuary, the place to just hang out when I didn't know where to go. I've seen people come in and they want tattoos for different reasons. It's personal for them, from the beautiful women who have fought and beat breast cancer, to those showing remembrance of a loved one, to the brave soldier showing pride in the US Military, or just to remember a good night out with those friends who have become family. Each tattoo is personal. It's a part of who you are and the hell and beauty of what you have gone thru. It's beautiful. Inkfamous, thru out the years.. has become home to guys that create amazing works of art. These guys are rowdy and funny and will make you laugh your ass off or maybe you might get offended, and embarrassed at the bluntness, but what do you expect? You want a button down gentleman in a suit? Go to a Courthouse or a Church! But trust me, I've dated those church goers and lawyers, they have more tattoos under their collared shirt than you think. These rowdy guys no matter how rough around the edges they may be, are the best guys I've ever known! And I owe them and love them. I've recommended my family, friends, my coworkers & I'd recommend this shop to anyone! For a tattoo Id suggest you Know what you want, or an idea of what you want. Don't pick it out of a book that night; you need to know what you'd like on you, so the artist can create something you will love always. Its yours after all Read Less
