Red 5 Tattoo

Love this shop. Have 3 other tattoos but this is the first time I visited Red 5 and it's the best experience I've had thus far from 4 different shops. My sisters and I came in for a sister tattoo and 2 of them did not have a tattoo before this. Our artist Jude was fantastic. He worked on all 4 of us and made my sisters feel so comfortable and made them laugh to help calm them down. Awesome pricing too. Will definitely be returning for more in the future. Thanks!

Came in for a walk in & they were on it! Amazing staff, great artist.

Robert is the guy to see! He did a great job with my tattoo. I was nervous and he made me feel better through the whole process & was patient with me. Love my tattoo (and my friends as well). Will recommend Robert to friends (or if I toughen up & get any more work). Thank you Robert!

I don’t normally write reviews but, i’ve got to say that this place is amazing. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and comfortable. Also, i was a walk-in! They accept walk-ins! Not many places do that. Thank you Red 5 for my tattoo. Yes its small but it is perfect! I’ll be back for more!🤙🏽

Best Tattoo shop I’ve been to so far! The whole environment inside was relaxing and staff were great! JUDE did my girlfriend’s and I tattoo today and let me tell you, he went above and beyond with my tattoo design! I originally had something in mind and he made my design look even more better! HIGHLY RECOMMEND JUDE and everyone else at Red 5 tattoo. Had an amazing experience!!

I had such an enjoyable and memorable experience at Red 5 this evening. I stopped in with my husband just looking to get a price quote on a small cross for my wrist, I was not expecting to be tattooed today. My first impression was how clean and stylish the shop was. Martin greeted us, gave me a quote and offered to do it on the spot as he had an opening. He was extremely patient and kind which made me feel more relaxed as I was nervous since my last tattoo was over two years ago. He drew up the cross and altered it to my exact liking and was personable the entire time he was tattooing. I would recommend Red 5 and Martin 12/10! Thanks for such a good experience!

I had to wait a long time for my appointment but it was worth it. After searching for an artist for months, I knew I wanted Chris Garcia to do my work. The wait was worth it. He was able to bring my ideas to reality. He completed a memorial tattoo for my son. It turned out amazing. This place is professional and so much talent.

Clean and strict on social distancing...which I love! I walked in and my tattoo guy made time to talk to me and now have an appointment set up. Place is really professional but laid back as well definitely will recommend

Red 5 is an absolutely beautiful, breathtaking shop. When you walk in the door the decorations, front desk and furniture are stunning. The shop is clean and immaculate, and the artists that work there are extremely talented. I’d been looking forward to getting tattooed at this shop for months, and have heard a lot of really good things about them over the years from other artists in the area that have tattooed me. However, I left there recently after receiving a tattoo feeling sad, deflated, and unimportant. An idea that I was very excited about and had been sitting on for years I finally entrusted with somebody whose work I really admired. Although I had not been tattooed by them before, I trusted they would put in their best effort and creativity as an artist into the piece. Overall the tattoo I received is a good quality tattoo, however it is not what I asked for and the artist seemed unwilling to work with me on making minor changes. Throughout the session I was not once asked how I was feeling and I was given no say in the color palette for the tattoo. Unfortunately this individual had a somewhat closed off demeanor and I did not feel comfortable talking to them about these things in the moment, as it genuinely appeared to me that they did not want to tattoo me and wanted the session to be over. The experience has left me feeling very sad and disappointed.

EDIT: I have now had about a day and a half to observe the tattoo, and I’m realizing that it is not a very good piece. It is extremely clear that the artist was rushing the piece as there are lines that go to nowhere, lines that do not meet, EXTREME shading inconsistencies, and mistakes that he tried to cover with shading. I’ve come to the conclusion that this artist was not interested in doing a tattoo that day and had somewhere else he would rather be instead, especially due to the fact that he asked me to come in an hour early and finished a tattoo he quoted four hours on in two hours.

EDIT 2: I really would’ve loved to be able to change the star rating on this from a 2 to 4, but instead I bumped it down to one. After talking with the owner of the shop, I did not have any of my concerns validated, was not offered any solution (although I admit that I was not able to think of one myself) and he ended up splitting hairs with me about money. A friend stupidly posted a negative review on Facebook without asking me and I had her to take it down immediately, but the response that he left was passive aggressive, accused me of “enlisting people” to slander their business, and also stated that they are “not certified in mind reading.” It really bums me out that a business owner could be so flippant and condescending.

Decided to give this place a shot, I'm usually really picky when it comes to which shop I go to and who does my tattoo. But I was not disappointed at all. They walked me through my entire tattoo, helping me pick out the font. The whole nine yards. Joven was an amazing artist. He was dedicated to helping me find a good spot and made sure it was straight and even. By far my new artist I'm going to. This place was amazing. And the staff is super delightful
