Wildlife Tattoo

Great place for first timers or big sessions. The staff was knowledgeable & courteous, when I explained my idea the artist went through & came up with some cool samples to choose from!
I would highly recommend this place to friends & family

I came into Wildlife with an idea for a tattoo that I had for quite some time. I explained the idea to Cee Los and he was able to express my envisioned idea onto paper. He literally captured my idea as if he was reading my mind. I appreciate his patience with me as I took a very long time showing him different ideas and styles. Long session but well worth his great prices and professional skill. Will be coming back here for my sleeve ;)

At first my piercings were fine and now one is completely infected. The woman who did my piercing wasn’t paying attention and put the wrong ball on my nipple piercing. It is now going into my boob and the woman who did it changed her number. Been calling the store for days and no answer. I now need to pay $ 90 to get them removed and put back in and also need to see a doctor. I completely want my money back and will never recommend this place to anyone.

The price was amazing. Keanu did a great job. Ceelos was awsome. Very friendly service. Really clean professional as well.

Great place. My wife got her first tattoo there today and Greg did an amazing job. He’s not an outspoken guy but he certainly tells you everything you need to know. I mention this because a few of the negative reviews said that the tattoo artist didn’t tell them much. Here’s a hint to those reviewers: if you have a question, ASK! My wife and I asked Greg a ton of questions and he was super patient and thorough in answering them. During the tattooing, he was really friendly and outgoing. He really took his time to make sure the tattoo came out right. In the end it was perfect. He thoroughly explained how to care for the tattoo for the next few weeks and explained to us several times that if the ink started fading anywhere that they’d touch it up for free. He also spent a lot of time making sure that everything was clean prior to beginning the tattooing. Overall a great experience. I’d recommend this place to anybody, especially first timers.

This is a super late review but a few months ago two of my friends and I randomly came here one Friday night and decided we wanted best friend tattoos. I got three tattoos and each of my friends got our best friend tattoo. Since we were doing so many they gave us some great deals. I was nervous to get so many at once but Ceelo talked me through it and was super supportive the entire time. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area.

I love getting my tattoos here it is always a very good experience, and the employees are quite friendly as well. Especially compared to all off the other shops I’ve been to before. Cee Los is the best tattoo artist in the valley, and is the owner of the best tattoo shop in the valley as well. That is my honest opinion, and his prices are a lot more affordable than other tattoo artists as well. I highly recommend this shop to anybody that wants to get some really good quality tattoos.

I walked in there… two guys playing videogames and another one in the computer… I asked the guy in the computer how much he would charge me and he gives me a fair price so I said ok let’s go ahead.
He goes on the computer and basically prints out what I told him I wanted, doesn’t even ask whether I like it or not, being my first experience I figured that’s how they do it…
Then he sits me and places the little print outs on my skin and asks whether I like it. I give him my opinion and he seems puzzled. He honestly looked lost most of the time… then he sits me down and starts tattooing…
I had already mentioned to him that it was my first time and he didn’t even care to explain the procedure or anything. Once he’s done he gives me a little card with the aftercare instructions… doesn’t even take the time to explain it to me and then charges me… :(
I left thinking oh man maybe that’s just how it gets done lol but I told a few friends and everyone else seemed to have such a great first experience so I guess it’s really up to the tattoo artist
It’s been a few months and my tattoo has faded tremendously and is missing some of the outline. I emailed the person who did the tattoo about 8 days ago and I have yet to hear from him. not a good experience

These guys are AWESOME!
The shop is clean, the dudes are friendly, the vibe is great, and the work is top-​notch. Greg is my new go-​to guy for all things ink. He’s tattooed me twice, and both times he has totally exceeded my expectations… truly a talented guy! I will definitely be back here for my next tattoo… probably in the very immediate future. Love this place!

Jocelyn was amazing. She talked me through the whole piercing process. It was quick and painless. Definitely recommend her. Totally going back when I want another piercing.

I’m in town for some family stuff. I grew up here, but live in Portland, OR. I have been planning to get a particular tattoo for a while, but haven’t had the time.
To just drop into a Tattoo shop on the virtue of Unilocal reviews is certainly a risk. But the vibe in this place made me feel immediately at ease, with lots of original artwork on the wall, cool music, etc. While Efraim got my image ready, I chatted with the proprietor, and it was a great talk. This is a guy who is concerned with the environment and wants to use his business do things to help it, which means a lot to me.
Efraim worked consistently and confidently. The ink went behind my left ear, and he had me lie face down on the table which seemed odd but actually was really comfortable. We talked about a lot of stuff, and really I’m always that person who doesn’t talk to people, just sits silently, but everyone there was so friendly I felt like I was hanging out with my friends.
Final judgment of course is the work, and I have to say, it’s bomb. Once I get home I’ll take a pic and add it here, but Efraim knocked it out of the park. It’s exactly what I wanted.
I have another piece of work I want done. Portland is filled with great artists, but frankly, I’m coming back to town in August and I think I’ll wait and head back to Wildlife!

The place is clean and all of the employees are so friendly, the piercer Jocelyn is very patient and careful. Absolutely love this place!!! Highly recommended

I recently went in and got my nipples pierced and I am so pleased with how they turned out, it’s only been a month and they have healed so well. Jocelyn was the piercer and she did a great job… she also took her time with me which was awesome. In addition to piercing me she also took the time to help me out with switching out my tragus rings and she helped my friend switch out her belly ring at no charge. The rest of the staff was also very friendly. Highly recommend checking this place out for tattoos and piercings :)

Went in for a ear piercing with my friend, and Jocelyn is the best! She’s super friendly, great customer service, got just what I wanted, very professional, will definitely go back for more piercings. The best part is she made my friend feel
Very comfortable since it was her first piercing. Also very clean place, super professional.

Love this place! Came in to get some body jewelry and they hooked me up with some beautiful pieces and everyone was super nice! Deff coming back for more

I have to say this shop is amazing. I went in for a tattoo that I wanted to get the same day and was turned away by other shops. They took care of me right away. Efra had my design ready to go in a matter of minutes. and it came out beautifully. Thank you Efra. I highly recommend this shop and will continue my business there. Thanks again!!!

The guy came to my pizzeria had some food and he has nice tattoos on him so I asked where he got it from and he said he’s the artist I went to him for some art work I have to say this guy was amazing it’s really hard finding the rite artist and I thank god for finding him

We went here to get tattoos and they were very friendly, prompt and were quick to get our ideas drawn and get the stations set up. Tattoos are both amazing and we are very happy with the whole experience. Gregg did an amazing job on my arm tat that was unfinished for 2 years and completed it with amazing shading and amazing colors! Could not be happier.
The artists are definitely skilled and are very receptive. I will plan on getting all of my future tattoos here as well as putting my faith in them to fix another not so awesome tattoo that I have.
Check out Wildlife Tattoo for sure if you are near the valley and need some bad ass ink!

The first time i came to wildlife was six years ago after those asses at kustom kulture made me feel pissed off. These guys at wildlife made me feel welcome. Carlos, the big boss, was nice enough to do my tattoo (Los Angeles on my wrist) and i didnt realize it was such an honor until now to have him do it :-)
He did a great job and even edited the wording for me, since I like having the artist encorporate their own work. I was probably being a pain in the ass about it, but he put up with me. I must say i cant recall the price.
I came back to the shop about a month ago to get my stupid, done-​in-​a-​friends-​bedroom-​tattoo covered up. I had hit up Carlos on FB to make an appointment. When I arrived all the guys in the shop welcomed me. Then they ran away cuz i scared them by saying I wanted a cover up on my neck. Just kidding. They all checked it out and Raul was nice enough to help me out. I sent my ideas to his email (a giant rose and some celtic knots) and while he was setting up Carlos came in. He said thanks for coming back. It felt good knowing he cares about his customers.
Raul did a great job on the tattoo and my neck was sore from being in a forward position for three hours, but life is pain. The shop is a great, cool environment. They seem to care about animals which is a bonus. Ive seen a gecko and i think a cute little beagle came in a few times. Lucky was his name, I think. They can get a little rowdy at the shop but it keeps me entertained. You shouldnt pick your shop based on the artists behavior, but based on their level of work. Not saying I dont like their behavior, but im warning the other more conservative people out their that its not always rainbows and butterflies in any tattoo shop. So far no problems at Wildlife for me. I actually find all the people there to be very nice and also pretty cute :)
Wildlife is my go –to– tattoo shop. My boyfriend and I love getting tattoos and ive been trying to convince him to get away from the pussies at Kustom Kulture and join the Wildlife side of the force. I recommended my friend come here for her first tattoo and she loved it. She got an Ankh on her forearm. She drove down from Isla Vista to get it.
Raul charged me too little for my tattoo ($ 150) so I gave him a lot of tip $ to make up for it. When I go in for my second session I will pay more. Thats how happy these guys make me. A thousand stars. I will recommend this place to people forever. Love you guys :)
–pros: great staff, great tattoos, phenomenal pricing
–cons: nothing so far. Id get tattooed more often but im a chicken lol
Also they recently lost a fellow artist, so if you go in soon be sure to pay your respects (see their facebook/​instagram)

Really really cool tattoo shop. What i enjoy about this shop is how friendly and at times family like it is to be here. Ceelos, the owner personally greets all who walk into his shop, which for a business owner is a must!!! He is also a very talented artist. He also does piercings.
