Fantastic experience: I recently got an eyebrow piercing at this spot and had an amazing experience. Despite initial nerves about the area, the piercer was incredibly professional, experienced (over 20 years), and super patient. My mom and I both felt reassured and comfortable throughout the process. Overall, I had a much better experience here than at a dessert sky which I had multiple piercings at. Highly recommend it as I will make this my regular spot if I want any more piercings!

Fantastic experience: I recently got a tattoo done here and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.

Fantastic experience: my boyfriend walked in and got a tattoo from carlos and he was very chill and did a great job on the tattoo :)

Fantastic experience: Good people Good vibes ✨️ I get my tattoos and piercings there they are the best places to go

Fantastic experience: West Side Tattoo has always been my number one tattoo shop, and the only place I will continue to return to. Gilbert, the shop owner, is not only highly talented but also a man of compassion who truly listens and understands your needs. Whether I’ve come in for a walk-in or scheduled an appointment, the shop has always been accommodating and professional. I’ve personally received small tattoos here, and I’ve also seen larger, more detailed pieces done by Gilbert and his team; every single one has been high-quality work. Gilbert’s skill, knowledge, and artistic eye set him apart, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients’ satisfaction. The shop itself is clean, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable no matter what type of tattoo you’re getting. I strongly recommend West Side Tattoo to anyone looking for excellent artistry, professionalism, and a shop owner like Gilbert who stands behind his work 100%.

Negative experience: We were almost side-swiped today by a company truck with Westside Tattoo’s logo all over it. The driver got aggressive when we had to merge, then dangerously cut off multiple cars in traffic, nearly causing several accidents. This kind of reckless driving puts people’s lives at risk. If this is the behavior of someone representing your business, it reflects very poorly on your company.

Positive experience: Only get Gilbert he did my tattoos years ago and not only did he not pressure me to get it how he wants it done. He educated me and told me to watch everything he was doing. ( there is another dude here that did not follow what I asked for and tried to pressure me into a design he wanted and not the one I asked for I went two separate times months apart and both times same dude, both times pressured into his idea of what I wanted. Both our times were wasted)

Fantastic experience: My fiancé & I got each other's names on one another & right from the gate the service was amazing!! Felt like we were just chilling with a good friend. Impeccable work, amazing atmosphere, great service!!! Will definitely be back to see the owner Gilbert Tovar.

Positive experience: My friends and I came here just looking to get quick bee matching tatoos. We were quoted crazy high at 1 other place so decided to stop by in here. SO GLAD WE DID!!! The owner and his crew were inviting, fun and professional! The shop is clean and comfortable and the vibe makes you relaxed. Thank You for making our girls weekend even better!!! 10 out of 10 EDIT: Sadly my tatoo faded and looked so so bad after 6 months. I did notify the owner with my concerns and he absolutely offered to have it touched up, but I live pretty far and its so out of the way I just had it done somewhere else. The owner is a good vibe tho, just not happy with the outcome

Fantastic experience: Was awesome. Went in, showed and explained what I wanted. Got it done. Artist touched up a previous tatt for that was done by someone else. Definitely going to be spending my "mulah" here more often. ❤️

Fantastic experience: gilbert pierced my tragus for me and everything was good . i loved his positive and enthusiastic vibe i will definitely be back and i highly recommend this place also price is well and the atmosphere was clean

Fantastic experience: Ive been to West Side Tattoo shop for all of my tattoos, it’s very rare to find a business owner who’s so passionate about their work and able to share their passion with employees and customer. All people in this shop are welcoming, and make sure you’re comfortable. From what I am aware of this is one of the few tattoo shops that will let you pick your own design on special deals. Each artist does is impeccable work and it’s affordable!! If you are wonder if you should pick this shop, yes you should!

Fantastic experience: I got my very first tattoo by Nico it came out amazing!! I came back again wanting him to do my second tattoo but he wasn’t there. I let someone else do it, it did not come out how I wanted it. It was crooked and the color was fading away but Nico fixed it and it looks better than how it was before. Thank you Nico!

Each experience is unique but just as fun as the last, and the artists make it a comfortable place to be. There is lots of skill and talent in that shop and it will always be my favorite place to get ink. The artists are open to suggestions and always willing to make adjustments to their work when asked.
