Place was awesome! Went in this past Sunday with my younger sister and we weren't disappointed. Got work done by Trevor and the dude was pretty rad and played some sick jams while he worked. Place was very clean and the staff members we did meet were very welcoming and friendly. Price was very worth the quality of work we got. We'll definitely come back for more. Read Less

2 stars just because the place was clean and I like the way my tattoo came out, but I guess I owe that to myself as I was the one who designed it. I got tattooed by Mike Johnson. I had come in about 2 months prior to discuss the price, placement, and show him my design and then proceeded to make an appointment with him. When I came in to get my tattoo, I had a few revisions so obviously the price went up, which I'm fine with. I wanted a simple medium sized python with 2 roses made up of just line work. No leaves, no shading, just to be exactly the way I had designed it. He obviously had to redraw the design himself in order to create a stencil. When he came back with it he had made a few changes which I wasn't particularly happy with but I kept them nonetheless. When I asked him to make the snake's head slightly shorter and wider, he made a face as if he was personally insulted that I requested any changes. I was being extremely polite the entire time, I mean I didn't really wanna piss off the guy who was about to put something permanent on my body. When I was getting the tattoo, he kept insisting that I get shading, which I didn't want. Also I was just a fan of his line work, his shading for flowers is NOT great at all. He also kept insisting that I put leaves everywhere and in the ugliest placements possible. My friend noticed I had said no about 5 times and so she came over and blatantly had to tell him "Um, no that looks stupid" and once again, he was so insulted and responded "I mean, roses have leaves". Yes, they do, but they also aren't shaded with shitty stripes. Go on his instagram, you'll know what I mean when you see it. I'm not going to get something permanent on my body just because he would have fun tattooing it or just because he'd get a few extra bucks out of me. I would imagine that most tattoo artists understand this very simple concept. I would definitely not go back to him. Read Less

I was driving from the high desert about an hour away so we got up early and made it to the shop by 10:00 like we were told. No one was there and no one ever showed up! SERIOUSLY!!!

In my defense to the bad comment. I'm sorry I didn't bend over backwards enough for you. And the other artist you are referring to is an amazing talented artist. He did you a favor by doing roman numerals for you. Its not his fault .You approved of the wrong dates (design) before he tattooed you. I offered to have have it removed for you. You say I treat people different, well obviously you don't know me at all. But we all can't make everyone happy in this world , believe me I tried with you. No matter what I did for you , you were going nit pick it. But you weren't saying anything bad about the tattoo, when You were receiving it for free. I do remember you praising me for a job well done. And I told you I wasn't finished untill we do a second session. Good luck with that now. You ever heard of the saying " you catch more fly's with honey, than you do with vinegar " my point exactly . Everyone is welcome to the Madd Tatter'z except her. Read Less

Wow I can't say enough good things about about this shop and especially Joel. My fiancé and I came in last week to get a consultation on a coverup on his arm that he's been wanting to get done for 6 years. He helped us right away and gave my fiancé an appointment for the next week. Everyone in the shop to the owner, the artists and apprentices were super friendly. Being in the service industry ourselves we always appreciate good customer service. And the shop itself is a very cool environment and is very very clean. Joel worked on my fiancé for 8 hours and man did he do work! From the coverup to the shading, it was all amazing! The thing that stood out to us is how much he paid attention to my fiancés sensitive skin and did things to make sure he was comfortable with the least irritation possible. Thank you Joel! We will definitely be back! Read Less

Well this review will start off with a 1 star; if written after my initial experience. I went here and set an appointment for a Sunday at 11 am. I arrived about 10:30 am. My artist never showed up. He never answered his phone I was livid. I did my part. I left a deposit, set an appointment, arrived and he didn't. Such a bad experience. I was ready to get my deposit back and another artist came. He saved the day. I guess it was Superman without the cape on. TREVOR IS HIS NAME, GETTING IT RIGHT IS HIS GAME! He didn't defend the other artist, didn't try to make up some lame story, he simply said I can help you if you give me the opportunity to do so. He was willing to squeeze me in that day and stay longer if need be. Either way I set the appointment, he added his flavor to the design, and the artwork is flawless. Maybe a tad bit more shading than I wanted but overall great. He showed up a week later on time and took care of me. The owner was there and he is involved in the process. It was a great experience. I wish the best to this shop. I was giving a discount due to my first initial experience. Read Less

Me and the girls came to The Madd Tatterz tattoo shop on my daughter's 18th Birthday to get matching tattoo's and Trevor was our artist.  Not only was he friendly and professional but he made our 2 first timers feel not so scared with his charming personality.  In fact, we are all planning out our next tattoo's and bringing some newbies with us.  We gave Trevor an idea of what we wanted and he created something even better and really listened to what we wanted.  The parlor is very clean and in a nice location with plenty of parking. The other artist in the room also indulged us in a special request of "Girls just wanna have fun" playing on the computer.  I didn't catch his name but it was really sweet of him.  In fact, everyone we encountered was really nice to us.  Trevor, we are totally coming back.  I hope you can handle us again and thank you for such great service.

I am going to start out by saying that I had an AMAZING experience at Madd Tatterz and will definitely be going back for any future tattoo needs. I am the type of guy that decided on a tattoo and waited a very long time to actually get it done. Like most I was very nervous about finding the right shop and an artist that will do good work... I definitely found that with Trevor! He was awesome and truly made the experience one I will look back on with great satisfaction. Here's a quick example of his awesome customer service... I was very picky with the placement of the tattoo on my arm and he stenciled it, washed it, and re-stenciled it 4x without any attitude or grief... He did everything in his power to make it perfect in my eyes and make me feel comfortable... exactly what you would want in someone who is about to put a permanent mark on your body! Over 100% satisfied and highly recommend Trevor! Read Less

I have been wanting to get a tattoo done for many years. But, I was def in no rush to get it done until I felt 1000000%  positive about the artist. I have a friend who is beautifully tatted up from head (neck) to toes.  I've always thought his tatts were beyond amazing. Done so right!  One day when I was ready to get tatts done, I asked him where he got his done & the rest was history. He linked me up to Alfred, who is also the owner of Madd Tatterz.Just from communicating w/ him over the phone, I felt confident with having him working on me.I felt ensured he knew what I wanted & it was certain he'd do a great job.After meeting up with him in person, I was that much more certain he was the one who I'd let do my tattoo'ing. The shop was inviting, bright, super clean, spacious, & well designed w/ many unique art pieces he collected from his colleagues.He talked to me patiently, asked questions to get to know me & what I wanted. He threw in helpful ideas as well. I knew I was on good hands.I waited eagerly until the day of my appt.Before starting, I waited at the seating area provided as u enter the shop.I saw him cleaning, disinfecting, wrapping everything. Double checking everything was perfect at the station before I went in.His huge parlor is bright & very well lit throughout the entire two part building. It's all open area, everyone sees everyone/thing ...so it's not creepy at all.He went straight to work using the newest machines & his top of the line "tools(?)". From the moment you walk in til' the moment you walk out, you feel comfortable & confident.I went in for a Religious Tattoo & came out with that tattoo and then some!  He did such nice work, I had to add to it at that same visit!I let Alfred do his thing. I knew he knew best! From sizing, to placement, to style. I could not have been more pleased.There were other ppl getting tattoos done and everyone that walked by totally had an awesome tatt job done.Don't even worry which artist is going to work on you while you're at Madd Tatterz because ALL their skills are way up there! I got my whole tattoo(s) done in one sitting, about 5hrs.I mean ...I did take it like a champ too! This would have taken other artists the same amount of time just for less than 1/2 of what I got done.  Even w/ out having the spectacular details I got.I received many compliments about the details of the piece(s) & I could not be more confident & excited to send them this way.They all put in work quickly, carefully, efficiently, safely, and the best part is that the price is so right!! Madd Tatterz is THEE PLACE to get your tattoo done right! Pure quality!I don't usually do yelp reviews, but MADDTATTERZ one is worth every positive word!I see that all their other reviews saying the same! Read Less

2 stars just because the place was clean and I like the way my tattoo came out, but I guess I owe that to myself as I was the one who designed it. I got tattooed by Mike Johnson. I had come in about 2 months prior to discuss the price, placement, and show him my design and then proceeded to make an appointment with him. When I came in to get my tattoo, I had a few revisions so obviously the price went up, which I'm fine with. I wanted a simple medium sized python with 2 roses made up of just line work. No leaves, no shading, just to be exactly the way I had designed it. He obviously had to redraw the design himself in order to create a stencil. When he came back with it he had made a few changes which I wasn't particularly happy with but I kept them nonetheless. When I asked him to make the snake's head slightly shorter and wider, he made a face as if he was personally insulted that I requested any changes. I was being extremely polite the entire time, I mean I didn't really wanna piss off the guy who was about to put something permanent on my body. When I was getting the tattoo, he kept insisting that I get shading, which I didn't want. Also I was just a fan of his line work, his shading for flowers is NOT great at all. He also kept insisting that I put leaves everywhere and in the ugliest placements possible. My friend noticed I had said no about 5 times and so she came over and blatantly had to tell him "Um, no that looks stupid" and once again, he was so insulted and responded "I mean, roses have leaves". Yes, they do, but they also aren't shaded with shitty stripes. Go on his instagram, you'll know what I mean when you see it. I'm not going to get something permanent on my body just because he would have fun tattooing it or just because he'd get a few extra bucks out of me. I would imagine that most tattoo artists understand this very simple concept. I would definitely not go back to him. Read Less

In my defense to the bad comment. I'm sorry I didn't bend over backwards enough for you. And the other artist you are referring to is an amazing talented artist. He did you a favor by doing roman numerals for you. Its not his fault .You approved of the wrong dates (design) before he tattooed you. I offered to have have it removed for you. You say I treat people different, well obviously you don't know me at all. But we all can't make everyone happy in this world , believe me I tried with you. No matter what I did for you , you were going nit pick it. But you weren't saying anything bad about the tattoo, when You were receiving it for free. I do remember you praising me for a job well done. And I told you I wasn't finished untill we do a second session. Good luck with that now. You ever heard of the saying " you catch more fly's with honey, than you do with vinegar " my point exactly . Everyone is welcome to the Madd Tatter'z except her. Read Less

My fiancé and I came in last week to get a consultation on a coverup on his arm that he's been wanting to get done for 6 years.

Being in the service industry ourselves we always appreciate good customer service. And the shop itself is a very cool environment and is very very clean. Joel worked on my fiancé for 8 hours and man did he do work! From the coverup to the shading, it was all amazing! The thing that stood out to us is how much he paid attention to my fiancés sensitive skin and did things to make sure he was comfortable with the least irritation possible. Thank you Joel!

Well this review will start off with a 1 star; if written after my initial experience. I went here and set an appointment for a Sunday at 11 am. I arrived about 10:30 am. My artist never showed up. He never answered his phone I was livid. I did my part. I left a deposit, set an appointment, arrived and he didn't. Such a bad experience. I was ready to get my deposit back and another artist came. He saved the day. I guess it was Superman without the cape on. TREVOR IS HIS NAME, GETTING IT RIGHT IS HIS GAME! He didn't defend the other artist, didn't try to make up some lame story, he simply said I can help you if you give me the opportunity to do so. He was willing to squeeze me in that day and stay longer if need be. Either way I set the appointment, he added his flavor to the design, and the artwork is flawless. Maybe a tad bit more shading than I wanted but overall great. He showed up a week later on time and took care of me. The owner was there and he is involved in the process. It was a great experience. I wish the best to this shop. I was giving a discount due to my first initial experience. Read Less

Me and the girls came to The Madd Tatterz tattoo shop on my daughter's 18th Birthday to get matching tattoo's and Trevor was our artist.  Not only was he friendly and professional but he made our 2 first timers feel not so scared with his charming personality.  In fact, we are all planning out our next tattoo's and bringing some newbies with us.  We gave Trevor an idea of what we wanted and he created something even better and really listened to what we wanted.  The parlor is very clean and in a nice location with plenty of parking. The other artist in the room also indulged us in a special request of "Girls just wanna have fun" playing on the computer.  I didn't catch his name but it was really sweet of him.  In fact, everyone we encountered was really nice to us.  Trevor, we are totally coming back.  I hope you can handle us again and thank you for such great service.

I got my first tattoo yesterday 6/22/17, it was pretty big for my first tattoo (upper half of my back). Joel did it for me and he made my experience perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better day. I was comfortable with everything and everyone was extremely nice. The shop was clean and I was happy with the set up. Being a nurse cleanliness and sanitary practices are important to me. But most importantly I felt that Joel was very caring and made sure throughout the whole day that I was comfortable and doing ok, which I was. I think I want more!

I am going to start out by saying that I had an AMAZING experience at Madd Tatterz and will definitely be going back for any future tattoo needs. I am the type of guy that decided on a tattoo and waited a very long time to actually get it done. Like most I was very nervous about finding the right shop and an artist that will do good work... I definitely found that with Trevor! He was awesome and truly made the experience one I will look back on with great satisfaction. Here's a quick example of his awesome customer service... I was very picky with the placement of the tattoo on my arm and he stenciled it, washed it, and re-stenciled it 4x without any attitude or grief... He did everything in his power to make it perfect in my eyes and make me feel comfortable... exactly what you would want in someone who is about to put a permanent mark on your body! Over 100% satisfied and highly recommend Trevor! Read Less

I have been wanting to get a tattoo done for many years. But, I was def in no rush to get it done until I felt 1000000%  positive about the artist. I have a friend who is beautifully tatted up from head (neck) to toes.  I've always thought his tatts were beyond amazing. Done so right!  One day when I was ready to get tatts done, I asked him where he got his done & the rest was history. He linked me up to Alfred, who is also the owner of Madd Tatterz.Just from communicating w/ him over the phone, I felt confident with having him working on me.I felt ensured he knew what I wanted & it was certain he'd do a great job.After meeting up with him in person, I was that much more certain he was the one who I'd let do my tattoo'ing. The shop was inviting, bright, super clean, spacious, & well designed w/ many unique art pieces he collected from his colleagues.He talked to me patiently, asked questions to get to know me & what I wanted. He threw in helpful ideas as well. I knew I was on good hands.I waited eagerly until the day of my appt.Before starting, I waited at the seating area provided as u enter the shop.I saw him cleaning, disinfecting, wrapping everything. Double checking everything was perfect at the station before I went in.His huge parlor is bright & very well lit throughout the entire two part building. It's all open area, everyone sees everyone/thing ...so it's not creepy at all.He went straight to work using the newest machines & his top of the line "tools(?)". From the moment you walk in til' the moment you walk out, you feel comfortable & confident.I went in for a Religious Tattoo & came out with that tattoo and then some!  He did such nice work, I had to add to it at that same visit!I let Alfred do his thing. I knew he knew best! From sizing, to placement, to style. I could not have been more pleased.There were other ppl getting tattoos done and everyone that walked by totally had an awesome tatt job done.Don't even worry which artist is going to work on you while you're at Madd Tatterz because ALL their skills are way up there! I got my whole tattoo(s) done in one sitting, about 5hrs.I mean ...I did take it like a champ too! This would have taken other artists the same amount of time just for less than 1/2 of what I got done.  Even w/ out having the spectacular details I got.I received many compliments about the details of the piece(s) & I could not be more confident & excited to send them this way.They all put in work quickly, carefully, efficiently, safely, and the best part is that the price is so right!! Madd Tatterz is THEE PLACE to get your tattoo done right! Pure quality!I don't usually do yelp reviews, but MADDTATTERZ one is worth every positive word!I see that all their other reviews saying the same! Read Less
