- JCJonah CreekJun 15, 20265.0Andrew was very helpful and reassuring. Could not ask for a better place for a first tattoo
- JMJennifer McBrideJun 8, 20265.0Place is awesome!!! Two other artists came in while I was getting tattooed and they were both soooo nice. Tattooed by Tommy—awesome design, great communicator, and continuously checked in with me during the process. Will be coming back again🤘🏼😉
- JJJLuvMar 20, 20265.0Tommy, great work, services with a smile🤣 Ask for Tommy if you need a new piece! Appreciate your artistic talent, years of work! Don't wait, call on Tommy🫶
- AGAnna GibersonFeb 13, 20265.0Rachel is awesome!! Super sweet, super talented! She loves her job and I love her work❤️ was there for Friday the 13th Valentine’s addition!🦚
- CVChristian VillacorteJan 14, 20265.0I stumbled upon this tattoo shop because I was looking for a place to get my first tattoo and this place is super local to me. I talked with Charlie and he made my first tattoo experience so smooth and easy. I was nervous coming in initially but that quickly went away after how chill the vibe was inside. Rachel, the owner, was also there and they both were super nice and friendly which really made me feel at home and like I've known them for years. I always knew I wanted a snake and when I let Charlie know what I was going for, he created a piece of art that completely exceeded my expectations. I was a bit hesitant on adding color at first but glad I trusted Charlie's recommendation and he picked the perfect color palette. Overall I couldn't be happier with my experience and I'II definitely be coming back for more!
Frequently Asked Questions About Aces High Tattoo
What is your shop minimum?
We have a $100 minimum for all tattoo services at our shop.
Do you take walk-ins?
Absolutely! We're happy to accommodate walk-in clients.
Do you do piercings?
We don't offer piercing services at this time.
Do you offer free tattoo touch-ups?
Yes! We offer free touch-ups for the first 6 months after your appointment to ensure your tattoo heals perfectly and looks its absolute best. This applies to all styles, from our fine line work to large traditional pieces.
How much does a custom tattoo cost?
Beyond our $100 shop minimum, our tattoos are priced either by a flat rate for the design or by an hourly rate for larger, custom pieces. The total cost depends on the size, placement, and complexity of the design. We always provide a clear estimate during your initial consultation.
How old do I need to be to get a tattoo in California?
In accordance with California state law, you must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo. We strictly enforce this policy and require a valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license or passport) at the time of your appointment. Please note that parental consent cannot bypass this legal age requirement.
Do you specialize in cover-ups or tattooing over scars?
Yes, our experienced artists specialize in a wide variety of custom work, including tattoo cover-ups and tattooing over healed scar tissue. We recommend setting up a consultation so we can evaluate the area and design a custom piece that seamlessly masks or integrates the existing mark.
How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?
To ensure the best possible experience, we recommend following these steps before coming in:
Get a good night’s sleep before your session.
Stay well-hydrated and eat a solid meal 1–2 hours before arriving.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the tattoo placement area.
Do not consume alcohol or blood-thinning medications 24 hours prior to your appointment.
What is your policy on booking deposits?
For custom designs and scheduled appointments, we require a non-refundable deposit. This deposit secures your time slot with the artist and goes directly toward the final price of your tattoo on the day of your session.
How do I properly take care of my new tattoo?
Proper tattoo aftercare is vital for the longevity and clarity of your body art. Keep the initial bandage on as instructed by your artist, then gently wash the area with lukewarm water and antibacterial, fragrance-free soap. Pat dry and apply a thin layer of recommended aftercare ointment. Avoid swimming, soaking in hot tubs, and direct sunlight for at least 2–3 weeks while your tattoo heals.
