This studio was recommended to me by my wife's uncle and cousin. I was not disappointed. Chuck has created an amazing zombie full sleeve that constantly gets commented on. Chuck and Pops are both talented and professional artists and I cannot recommend this studio highly enough.

Pops is amazing. I had a bunch of crappy tattoos from when I made bad decisions as a kid and he's been slowly but surely covering all of them with beautiful art. Some are easy to cover than others, but all turn out amazing. I was terrified of getting tattoos for years because of a bad cover up job when I started trying to fix my mistakes. But the skill and professionalism that pop's has changed that.

I walked in to ask about piercings and the guy was very unprofessional, he didn't allow me to finish my sentence before he was already saying no. I feel that they should allow a possible client to finish asking what they want to ask before they yell across the room or make assumptions. Simply rude.

Pops is the man!! Recently had another piece done by Pops. I had a Crimson Ghost done on my forearm 19 years ago. There was a lot of black ink in it and when it healed there were a few spots that needs touching up. But over the years life got in the way and other things in life took priority over getting it touched up. Things managed to work out and I asked Pops what he might be able to do to add to and re-ink my Crimson Ghost. He came though with a simple but amazing addition of framing it in with a coffin and some flowers which has made it look like a completely different and kick ass tattoo. Both Pops and Chuck are not just amazing artists but great guys as well. If you want great work done, I highly recommend talking to Pops and Chuck at Classic Tattoo

Pops has worked on several of my friends and I've always been impressed with his work. I needed some touch up work done on a tattoo, and he was able to do walk-in service for me the same afternoon I called. He gave me a great deal and crafted exactly what I wanted done with my piece. Thanks Pops! I'll visit again soon.

Chuck is amazing! I got my claddaugh tattoo a little over 3 years ago on my upper back and neck. I couldn't believe the vibrant colors and how everything stood out and looked perfect. It hurt like hell when the color was being put in the heart, but it was expected. I had to come in 2 times and it was a great price. I moved to Murrieta in 08 and haven't had a chance to get back to him. He does a great job and makes sure it looks perfect.

(Chuck wouldn't let my wife put her purse on the floor, because he was concerned it would get dirty. Now THAT'S commitment to cleanliness! Which is something you want to see in a tattoo shop). After shopping around and being disappointed by the options in the Ventura area, we were delighted to come across Classic Tattoo, and will definitely be going there again. Thanks guys!

I got a tat done there awhile back, it's of a black cat in a crescent moon. I kind of had an idea of what I wanted, but after looking through the flash, I didn't see exactly what I wanted, so I discussed it with the artist and she changed the closest image to EXACTLY what I wanted, without charging me more. I've recommended this place to several people & they're all happy with the work (and the cleanliness.) I'm going back after I've lost some weight (and saved up some dough) for another!
