I had never had a tattoo before. My sister and I wanted to get matching tattoos and we already had a design in mind. We had gone to another tattoo shop first where the artist was very zen, and tried to talk us out of first our placement and then our design trying to get us to buy one of her designs, that would end up costing a lot more than we had wanted to spend, besides the fact that they were very generic. We were trying to combine elements from our indian and celtic heritage. instead of even looking at what we wanted she proceeded to try and sell us her indian designs which i have to say were designs of indian heritage by people who didn't know anything about it. very ""how white man"" . We left and saw the Classic tattoo studio up the street I had been in there once for the taste of fullerton nights and has met a couple of the artists there. When we went in we showed them the pictures of what we wanted and the guy we were talking to went and got one of the arists who then designed a tattoo based on what we showed him. It was gorgeous!! My sister and I loved it and they made up two stencils of it and we sat down and they started. The artist who did mine was Shawn and he started out really slow so that i could get accustomed to the pain (it is on my inner wrist). He was very considerate during the tattooing and the shop was very clean. My sister and I are both in the medical feild and we felt comfortable with their safety and cleanliness there. It was a great experiance for someone getting their first tattoo.
Pros: Great customer service! they really listened to us and responded to our needs
Cons: small parking lot but there was parking was available
