Marc’s the man!
Marc at Above All Tattoo is the real deal. I’ve been going to him for a while now — from a cover-up to touch-ups and color pieces — and every session has been solid. His creativity and professionalism really stand out, and the vibe at the shop is always chill and welcoming. If you’re thinking about getting some ink done, definitely hit up Marc.
Great service!! It was a quick one since we were visiting. Thanks again Mark!
I am a super happy and satisfied client with the work that Waffle did on my tattoo. The first one for me personally, I can say that they have excellent service, the best quality and are super professional. 100% recommended to all my friends and acquaintances and everyone in my networks.
Marc did the most amazing job on this mini mask for my finger!! I can’t believe how perfectly it healed and how easy the whole process was. He was so fun to work with, and I couldn’t have picked a better spot to get a tattoo. If I lived in PB, I would be a weekly regular here!! Incredible experience and technique,…
Great clean shop! Artist was chill and let it be a quiet tattoo session and just vibe to the music (thank you Kipper). Was super impressed with color choices for my design and appreciated the attention to detail. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments already. If I was a local, I’d make this place my preferred shop.
Above all tattoo far exceeded my expectations on a “walk in” appointment! Highly recommend!! My son & I were vacationing in California for the week and on our last day, we spontaneously decided to get matching tattoos! We picked them from google with the many years of experience being high on our wish list. Within 5…
Walked in for tattoo and helped me right away, it was my first one so I was a bit nervous but Kipper did an excellent job of guiding me through it. He did an excellent job and finished in a small amount of time and I really enjoy it!
I had an excellent experience. This was my first tattoo and Alex was very patient with me. I recommend him for any tattoo work.
Tony was great. I came in asking for a 4 inch flower tattoo for my son and he delivered. I was very impressed with the details that he was able to get into such a small tattoo. He is very friendly and does great work. 100% would recommend and I will absolutely be coming back for my next tattoo.
Arjun was amazing! Made the whole experience super fun and comfortable. I absolutely love the work he did on me and will continue to come see him and highly recommend to everyone to get your tattoo work done here!
amazing work done by arjun. super professional, quick, with attention to detail. thank you!
my guy tony took my boyfriend and myself in and drew up our designs quick! his work came out delicate and beautiful. Tonys color work and soft lines made the design of my partners tattoo 10000% better. He was awesome and very very helpful as well as a blast to talk to while he worked on the both of us!! We walked…
I went in and saw Chop to get a watercolor tattoo. It was my first tattoo but he made it super easy. I reached out to him the night before and he saw me first thing the next morning. When I got there he was ready to go and the whole process was great. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The aftercare…
I got my first tattoo with Niko and I was so happy with my results! Niko made me feel very comfortable and made my experience 10/10. My boyfriend also got a tattoo with him and we both love our tattoos. Niko let us ring the bell for first time tattoos on our way out and it was very fun and sweet. Highly recommend…
Tony did a great job on my tattoo!! Its been a couple months and it has healed great, the colors are vibrant and vivid, details beautifully done, 10/10.
