Ink Gallery

The owner is unprofessional and the staff are condescending towards each other. Also their best artist (Jay) is gone. Didn’t realise how bad this place was until I went to another shop.

I was there and know the owner locked his stuff away and refused to let him retrieve it. It was confirmed by me and all the other artists at the shop. I should say «former Ink Gallery artists» because almost all of them quit after what the owner did to this artist. Who btw, has an alcohol and drug problem. If the owner really cared about Marines, he would have let the artist continue tattooing at a different location with all of his supplies.

Very professional work! I’ve been coming to my artist Marco for several months now and I must say his work is flawless. I would highly recommend him to anybody nervous about getting inked up, hands down the best artist to go to for all your ink needs!

I’ve been coming to Lucky for 8 months now… he is a creative genius. His work is incredible. He never lets me down… everything he does comes out better than I could ever imagine… thank you lucky, you are a true artist.

This place is one word: amazing. They take great care of their customers, no matter what size tattoo you’re getting. I came with my friend, and they sat down and worked with her until she was satisfied. She was nervous, of course, but that didn’t stop the people there from making her feel comfortable. They were no pressure, and that was a nice change. The prices match their quality — they did an outstanding job on her arm! I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great artists. They know what they’re doing.

Highly recommend this place. Freddy is an amazing artist who comes up with the most creative ideas. Very clean shop & always good vibes.

Best shop around!!! Andy D is the best around!!!

Me and my wife went here a few months ago & got work done by Andy D. Andy is very professional and does great work. He has actually been tattooing me & my wife for over 10 years now. I also met a few other artists who were all really cool & The shop has a really good vibe. I would defiantly recommend going here and getting your ink done.

Got my very first tattoo from Jay Hanson. A few words to describe his work: flawless, perfection, detail oriented, talented. You can view his artwork on his wall, and that is an indication that the guy has a gift. He is truly passionate about his work. Jay will take his time to ensure that your tattoo is done right. He comes highly recommended. They say once you get your first tattoo, you will want more. Very true. Will seek him out in the future to complete my leg. Awesome work Jay.

I came In here for a Friday the 13^th tattoo & was so pleased I came back.
The 1^st time I came in it was Friday the 13^th, me & my bf wanted to have some fun and get a $ 13 tattoo, so we stopped in. They had a full page of flash art, all 13^th related. We got lucky cuz we’re the last couple to get tatted before they called it a night. We chose our tats, filled out our paper work & were welcomed to sit in the lounge & hang out. 13^th J was our artist & even tho it was late he made sure to pack alot of detail into my bf’s tatt. I gotta finger tatt & J made sure to be detailed but not go heavy handed, so as not to blow out the lines (which is easy to do on a finger tatt) J was awesome he was friendly, talkative, professional, & thorough. We couldn’t be more happy with our tattoo’s.
The 2^nd time I came in it was for TI 22. Of course I chose 13^th J to do my piece, he gave me options for my stencil even when I had chosen the size I wanted he was patient as I made requests for change in the placement & a change in style of the 22. Needless to say it came out awesome! J is very detail oriented & truly loves his craft. I’ll definitely be coming back a 3^rd time!

Andy D is the most professional, detail oriented artist I know. He takes the kind of care you could only hope for in an artist. His chair manner is of the utmost professionalism and makes you feel completely at ease. My art work healed perfectly with wonderful bright colors! The layout and design was all him and I couldn’t be happier. I added my picture above for reference. Butterflies and love note on forearm. I can’t wait to have more done! Thank you Andrew

Not your typical shop. Everyone there was warm and friendly. Music wasn’t to loud… :) John did my art work, I think at least 6 times. lol… I kept sending him back to make lil changes. He never once complained or got an attitude. He was very patient with me. Thank you John for a job well done and your patience. :)

Three of us went to have a very simple lightening bolt done, in a light grey. They were glad to take our money, but after the tattoo’s became infected, and it was obvious that the ink was bad, the manager Ryan, could not pull together enough customer service skills to have us come in. He returned a call once, but would not leave his schedule, or when we could come in to talk about the next step. Even after multiple calls, we got the big blow off-​. As a result, we have botched tattoos with missing color and the color looks like a glow in the dark stick on. So still can’t get a return call, and basically have scars I say go somewhere where they stand by their work and have the skills to talk to customers.

This is my first experience with getting a tattoo. I’ve looked on and off for the last 15 years, but never inked.
One of the main reasons my daughter and I chose this shop was the way it looked from the outside. It is clean, well lit and displayed their work so that it felt more like an art gallery than the shops in San Francisco where I had looked previously.
My daughter (adult) and I were looking for mother/​daughter tattoos. The men who ran he shop answered all our questions and didn’t try to push for more than we wanted. This was my daughter’s 3^rd tattoo and my first. We chose the outline of three stars descending in size. She had hers placed on her inner arm and I went with my lower rib. We felt those were age appropriate decision.
When it came time to actually do the tattoos, the men who ran the shop were quick, painless and careful. They were able to do us at the sometime. Mine took less than 10 min. from the time the stencil was placed until he was finished.
Five days later I am still happy with my choice and following the careful directions we were given for care, until the skin heals

Awesome shop, awesome employees, amazing tattoo work! Been trying to find a badass, moderately priced tattoo parlor and I think I found my new shop! Awesome job guys keep up the good work :)

My husband and I go to Jason Grant for our tattoo needs. I’m so glad that he is now located in San Clemente… I love this shop. The atmosphere is cool and clean. Everyone is friendly and the artwork speaks for itself… pictures soon to come. Thank you for your awesome lettering and impeccable traditional style Jason!

Went here on recommendation from a friend. So word of mouth does work. Met up with Adam who quickly greeted me and introduced himself. I gave him a fed pictures of my idea and he sketched something up. It was perfect. I gotta say its the cleanest shop in town. And even if your not in to tattoos they have some cool art to check out
I WILL be back to get some more work done.
