What a beautiful studio, inside + out. I came to Good Omen Tattoo for a large and detailed botanical tattoo, on my ribs. I ended up choosing Felipe for the piece and what an artist and person! .Felipe is so SO kind, gentle, detail oriented, and personable. So humble but so talented! He did an absolutely outstanding job on my tattoo, took SO much time to make it just how I wanted, down to the last stroke of color-he REALLY takes pride in his work and wants you to LOVE it which of course I do! Thank you FELIPE, forever grateful and honored to have your work to enjoy forever!.The studio is a very cool, artsy space-every detail has been carefully curated and it's really shows! And Tim, the owner, is a truly good person-Everyone made me feel completely comfortable and it was a great experience...I was there for a pretty long time and enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you FELIPE, thank you Good Omen, thank you for being YOU-- your passion for your work shows! Read Less

Decided on a whim to get a tat while on vacation in Santa Cruz.  Reached out to Good Omen, and they were able to get me in on short notice.  Very cool vibe and atmosphere! My artist was Tony, and he knocked it out of the park.  He had some ideas ready for me when I walked in, and they were almost perfect.....just what I was looking for.  I asked for a couple of minor modifications to the design, and he immediately and gladly made them.   Very reasonably priced for EXCELLENT work.  Thanks Tony and all at Good Omen!

This is a fantastic shop with a great staff! I came in this past weekend to get my first tattoo and Heather was accepting walk-ins. I had been considering this tattoo for the last few months but was nervous as to how it would come out. All I had to do was send an email with a Word document attached and voila! - Heather KILLED it! She was really nice about easing me into the process of getting tatted and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The script looks exactly the way I wanted it and the peace sign accent looks amazing. I couldn't be happier and it's healing up perfectly! She also offers a sort of "lifetime warranty" for any touch up work you might need which I thought was an incredibly generous thing to include.Good Omen is a kickass business and I would definitely recommend them to a friend! Heather Jacobson is a great artist and if you'd like to see some of her work then you should look her up on Instagram!@heatherjacobsontattoosThanks again, can't wait to come back when I decide what to get next!

I decided to go to Good Omen for my first tattoo on my 18th birthday and I'm so glad I did. Felipe is truly an artist, and I definitely won't be able to stop looking at this beautiful tattoo for quite some time. He was so kind and accommodating and stayed WAY past closing to finish my tattoo. I feel very lucky to have had this great of customer service and such a wonderful experience altogether.

No newbie to tattoos. Not naive to the pain.  For me the artist and ambiance have to be just right or it's not going to work. I was in town to celebrate a friends birthday and we wanted to get new tattoos.  We were checking out reviews and Good Omen Tattoo kept coming up.  We said to ourselves if it was meant to be it would be at Good Omen.  I called and spoke with Tim.  Instantly the personality clicked.  Then scheduling clicked.  Exchanged a few ideas and set. Tim was able to take us earlier and was stoked.  The studio, the other artists personalities all clicked.  I sat down and am stunned at the outcome.  My friend needed a little cover work and expanded art....also....He killed it on every level.  SUPER excited and couldn't be happier with the experience and our new tattoos. Will definitely be back and highly recommend this place and Tim for sure!!!! Read Less

So this is a little late. In January - I was researching tattoo shops in the area, looking for my first tattoo.  I wanted to start with a decent size tattoo and I  wanted to make sure my 1st experience was a good one.  Not only did I want a good tattoo artist, but someone I could connect/relate to on some level.  So looking at yelp reviews, I decide to go talk to Good Omen Tattoos on pricing, black vs color ink, big vs small size tattoo, pain level of areas, etc..I came in with my wife and was met by Tattoo Artist Heather.  She was able to answer my questions and made some suggestions as well.  I was very pleased with her assistance and made an appointment for the next day. We came back the next day and went over placement, size, and couple different options for my tattoo that I had emailed her yesterday after I left.   Once we started the tattoo, Heather made sure that I felt comfortable from the start and throughout the process.  This made me feel good, since it was my first tattoo and not knowing exactly what to expect.   Heather conversed with my wife and myself throughout our time with her, which made the time go by faster.   She went over how to care for the tattoo and what to expect in the following days.  She also told me to call her, text, or email with any questions. Which made me feel a lot better.  I did text her a couple times just to double check I was doing alright with caring for the tattoo and how it was looking. She always got back to me in a timely matter.  I'm happy with my first Tattoo, my experience with Heather, and Good Omen Tattoo !!   Robert Read Less

Just a day ago my friend found out that her mother was diagnosed with bone cancer. Her mother has four days before they start her treatment. And my friend and her mom decided that they would get matching tattoos to keep their bond strong and supportive during her cancer treatment. The problem is that most tattoo artists are booked up for months in advance. I called the shop and let them know what was happening. And they took care of us. Heather was awesome! She made time in your busy schedule and was very kind and supportive to my dear friend and her mother. Thank you thank you thank you! So yes.

This is a fantastic shop with a great staff! I came in this past weekend to get my first tattoo and Heather was accepting walk-ins. I had been considering this tattoo for the last few months but was nervous as to how it would come out. All I had to do was send an email with a Word document attached and voila! - Heather KILLED it! She was really nice about easing me into the process of getting tatted and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The script looks exactly the way I wanted it and the peace sign accent looks amazing. I couldn't be happier and it's healing up perfectly! She also offers a sort of "lifetime warranty" for any touch up work you might need which I thought was an incredibly generous thing to include.Good Omen is a kickass business and I would definitely recommend them to a friend! Heather Jacobson is a great artist and if you'd like to see some of her work then you should look her up on Instagram!@heatherjacobsontattoosThanks again, can't wait to come back when I decide what to get next!

No newbie to tattoos. Not naive to the pain.  For me the artist and ambiance have to be just right or it's not going to work. I was in town to celebrate a friends birthday and we wanted to get new tattoos.  We were checking out reviews and Good Omen Tattoo kept coming up.  We said to ourselves if it was meant to be it would be at Good Omen.  I called and spoke with Tim.  Instantly the personality clicked.  Then scheduling clicked.  Exchanged a few ideas and set. Tim was able to take us earlier and was stoked.  The studio, the other artists personalities all clicked.  I sat down and am stunned at the outcome.  My friend needed a little cover work and expanded art....also....He killed it on every level.  SUPER excited and couldn't be happier with the experience and our new tattoos. Will definitely be back and highly recommend this place and Tim for sure!!!! Read Less

So this is a little late. In January - I was researching tattoo shops in the area, looking for my first tattoo.  I wanted to start with a decent size tattoo and I  wanted to make sure my 1st experience was a good one.  Not only did I want a good tattoo artist, but someone I could connect/relate to on some level.  So looking at yelp reviews, I decide to go talk to Good Omen Tattoos on pricing, black vs color ink, big vs small size tattoo, pain level of areas, etc..I came in with my wife and was met by Tattoo Artist Heather.  She was able to answer my questions and made some suggestions as well.  I was very pleased with her assistance and made an appointment for the next day. We came back the next day and went over placement, size, and couple different options for my tattoo that I had emailed her yesterday after I left.   Once we started the tattoo, Heather made sure that I felt comfortable from the start and throughout the process.  This made me feel good, since it was my first tattoo and not knowing exactly what to expect.   Heather conversed with my wife and myself throughout our time with her, which made the time go by faster.   She went over how to care for the tattoo and what to expect in the following days.  She also told me to call her, text, or email with any questions. Which made me feel a lot better.  I did text her a couple times just to double check I was doing alright with caring for the tattoo and how it was looking. She always got back to me in a timely matter.  I'm happy with my first Tattoo, my experience with Heather, and Good Omen Tattoo !!   Robert Read Less

Just a day ago my friend found out that her mother was diagnosed with bone cancer. Her mother has four days before they start her treatment. And my friend and her mom decided that they would get matching tattoos to keep their bond strong and supportive during her cancer treatment.
