Fantastic experience. Have had a few tattoos from Trevor now and I am always happy with his work and professionalism. On time appointments and very communicative... works well with you to give you exactly the piece you're looking for. The shop is super cute too and I love looking at the rad artwork around the place. Have recommended him to several people and they all love their work.

I went in there cuz I had a tattoo that needed work. I got this tattoo done by a friend it wasn't professional so it needed to be touched up. It's also my first tattoo so I really knew nothing about the healing process of them. I went in there and there was one guy sitting on a chair and he was watching something. Didn't take the initiate to even get out of his chair. I tried to talk to him about my tattoo and he looked at me like I was stupid. I think he said his name was Trevor. But either way I wasn't happy. I wanted to give them my business after my tattoo got done healing, but now I took my money and business elsewhere.

Long story, short. Cheap tattoos aren't good, and good tattoos aren't cheap. Save your money. Go somewhere else. If you want to hear my story keep reading...Found the artist Adrian on Instagram and liked a couple pieces he had done. Artist was a cool dude. The art he did was not. I asked for a classic piece "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" to be done on my calf. He had drawn it out beforehand and it looked right. But when I told him it was going to be on my right calf he said he was going to need to 'flip it'. At the time, I had no idea what that meant. He took another minute to get a new stencil ready, then he put it on me. I previewed it and it looked okay in the mirror. I'm obviously an idiot because I didn't catch that it was facing the wrong direction in the mirror. I hadn't realized the mistake until I saw his post on Instagram. When I told him that the work was wrong he said he told me that he warned me beforehand.... HE BARELY MENTIONED IT. HE MUMBLED UNDER HIS BREATH. HE WAS STONED THE WHOLE TIME (whatever it's california). I SENT HIM SO MANY EXAMPLES BEFORE I GOT THERE WHY DID HE MAKE THIS CHANGE AT THE LAST SECOND??? THIS IS A VERY POPULAR PICTURE. DO YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK??? This is so effing embarrassing. Need a cover up now. If you know anybody hit me up.

getting many, many more. The man is a dedicated and passionate artist who is serious about his craft and and pours his heart and soul into every tattoo he does. I came to him with some general ideas which he materialized into a piece of art more amazing than I ever could have imagined. I still get super stoked every time I look in the mirror! Getting tattooed at Missing Link has a very chill, kickback vibe. The shop is small but spacious with a dope sound system and a nice big TV. Trevor lets me bump my music while I get tatted which is an awesome experience! Both Trevor and the other artists are super cool, super nice guys and I love going to his shop and walking down to the beach afterwards. Look no further, if you are unsure and searching for an artist, hit up Trevor Burtz and let him pick your brains. You'll thank me later!

My rob zombie tattoo and my evil pope tattoo are impeccable thank you vanilla gorilla who is this memorable experience. My tattoos look amazing. I could not be happier I am definitely going back for my Sheri Moon zombie attack to you and My Corey Taylor Tattoo. He he will finish the tattoo in one run even if it takes seven hours . You can tell he is passionate about his craft. He gets excited about the tattoo that you are bringing to him. He really makes it feel like your One of his friends . If you come in with an idea and he can draw it up really quick. Definitely worth the drive!!!

My experience at Missing Link Tattoo was of the highest quality. I see myself as a friend more than a client. Marco's work was top quality could not have asked for a better tattoo. I had three large pieces done all for low price compared to what others quoted me. The atmosphere at the shop made you feel very invited. I was even bought food and energy drinks I couldn't have asked for more, I continually go and see him for work. You can see his work at Vanilla Gorilla on Instagram and Facebook.

Missing Link is an amazing shop with amazing artists. This shop is a must if you're looking for some badass tattoo artists who are down to earth and you can shoot the shit with all day while you get tatted. I'm extremely picky in who I have do my tattoos and Trevor understood my idea and ran with it. What he has created is 100x better then what I would have ever imagined and I couldn't be happier!

This place is so awesome. My 2 friends and I just got tattoos there as a going away for me and we had a blast. They were very friendly and their work is amazing. I was skeptical because I heard negative things about the previous owners so when I walked in and saw that they had new owners I was so glad we went with them, they are very straight forward about expectations and very professional and they even exceeded our own expectations for what we wanted. Oh and they have the most beautiful pillow on a shelf that was so nice to look at while being tattooed. And they were pretty funny too, which is a plus. Their prices were also very reasonable for the amount of time and effort they put in to making each tattoo perfect. I would recommend them to everyone!!

My boyfriend and I spontaneously decided we wanted to get tattoos together and searched for shops near us and stumbled upon missing link tattoo, reviewed their work online and decided we would give them a shot! I was tattooed by Reed who did an amazing job on me! I am so extremely pleased with his work and so happy that we decided to swing by the shop. My boyfriend got tattooed by Trevor at the same time as me and he did an equally amazing job on my boyfriend. Needless to say we are both pleased and intend to expand our collection with Missing Link. Will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking to get blasted!

FORMALLY PIER VIEW TATTOO !!!! The shop is FINALLY in the hands of the SAME artists that have ALWAYS been doing the quality work I've traveled here for, yes I make the commute REGULARLY from Northern California to be tattooed by the artists Trevor and Reed, these two guys have styles of art that range across the board, from traditional to contemporary, portraits and sacred geometry black and white or AMAZING color work if your looking for a SERIOUS tattoo it's GOTTA BE Missing Link, plenty of "walk in shops" down here in SoCal, and this shop does that to, BUT if your looking for SERIOUS ART WORK to be done, NOT just another "nautical star" and your looking for something custom you need help with go talk with either TREVOR or REED and they will work personally to create the perfect image.

My rob zombie tattoo and my evil pope tattoo are impeccable thank you vanilla gorilla who is this memorable experience. My tattoos look amazing. I could not be happier I am definitely going back for my Sheri Moon zombie attack to you and My Corey Taylor Tattoo. He he will finish the tattoo in one run even if it takes seven hours . You can tell he is passionate about his craft. He gets excited about the tattoo that you are bringing to him. He really makes it feel like your One of his friends . If you come in with an idea and he can draw it up really quick. Definitely worth the drive!!!

I never thought I would be getting a tattoo in a shop, was always into that garage feel. Missing Link gives off that homie feel and a place to shoot the Shit while getting work done. This is now my 7th time back with Trevor B. I'll let the pictures do all the talking from now on. Thanks Trevor and the rest of the guys at Missing Link!

My experience at Missing Link Tattoo was of the highest quality. I see myself as a friend more than a client. Marco's work was top quality could not have asked for a better tattoo. I had three large pieces done all for low price compared to what others quoted me. The atmosphere at the shop made you feel very invited. I was even bought food and energy drinks I couldn't have asked for more, I continually go and see him for work. You can see his work at Vanilla Gorilla on Instagram and Facebook.

Hands down one of the greatest tattoo shops in San Clemente! I got a piece down from Marco, his work is pretty damn dope. The two other artists have great work also! Every portfolio was full of bad ass tattoos. I will never go to any other shop. Be sure to set up an appointment these guys are always booked!

Missing Link is an amazing shop with amazing artists. This shop is a must if you're looking for some badass tattoo artists who are down to earth and you can shoot the shit with all day while you get tatted. I'm extremely picky in who I have do my tattoos and Trevor understood my idea and ran with it. What he has created is 100x better then what I would have ever imagined and I couldn't be happier!

Visiting from the east coast for a few days and decided to get a tattoo. Called up and they took me right away. The guys here are not only two of the nicest guys I think I've ever met, but they're hilarious and honestly make you feel right at home. The conversation, the laughs, we didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Not to mention they're GREAT artists. Anddddd the place is wicked clean. Can't wait to come back for another visit and go right back into this shop! HIGHLY recommend this place. ������

(we appreciate that a lot being we're from the south) it was a nice experience and when I get the urge for another tattoo I'll be sure to go to him!!! Ps I love my mountains on my foot!!

This place is so awesome. My 2 friends and I just got tattoos there as a going away for me and we had a blast. They were very friendly and their work is amazing. I was skeptical because I heard negative things about the previous owners so when I walked in and saw that they had new owners I was so glad we went with them, they are very straight forward about expectations and very professional and they even exceeded our own expectations for what we wanted. Oh and they have the most beautiful pillow on a shelf that was so nice to look at while being tattooed. And they were pretty funny too, which is a plus. Their prices were also very reasonable for the amount of time and effort they put in to making each tattoo perfect. I would recommend them to everyone!!

My boyfriend and I spontaneously decided we wanted to get tattoos together and searched for shops near us and stumbled upon missing link tattoo, reviewed their work online and decided we would give them a shot! I was tattooed by Reed who did an amazing job on me! I am so extremely pleased with his work and so happy that we decided to swing by the shop. My boyfriend got tattooed by Trevor at the same time as me and he did an equally amazing job on my boyfriend. Needless to say we are both pleased and intend to expand our collection with Missing Link. Will definitely be recommending them to anyone looking to get blasted!

FORMALLY PIER VIEW TATTOO !!!! The shop is FINALLY in the hands of the SAME artists that have ALWAYS been doing the quality work I've traveled here for, yes I make the commute REGULARLY from Northern California to be tattooed by the artists Trevor and Reed, these two guys have styles of art that range across the board, from traditional to contemporary, portraits and sacred geometry black and white or AMAZING color work if your looking for a SERIOUS tattoo it's GOTTA BE Missing Link, plenty of "walk in shops" down here in SoCal, and this shop does that to, BUT if your looking for SERIOUS ART WORK to be done, NOT just another "nautical star" and your looking for something custom you need help with go talk with either TREVOR or REED and they will work personally to create the perfect image.

Andrew is an awesome tattoo artist! Spent some time with my girls here last week getting a few tattoos. They look amazing! The only downside is the waiting area outside ... but the shop is new and they are still getting things set up. They could use another bench or a few more chairs. The owner was very sweet though and offered us a couple more folding chairs. Will definitely be back!
