Torch Tattoo

I wanted to do something special for my birthday, so I went to these guys for my first tattoo. Gus was great! Came into the shop with an unrealistic idea and Gus talked me through a few changes to make it a reality. A few days later he sent me a sketch of what he came up with and it was perfect! It was my very first tattoo and I definitely felt comfortable and at ease with him doing it. If I decide to get another tattoo, I’m 100% going back to this place!

This place sucks … Just kidding. They’re AMAZING but they refuse to admit it. Matt and gus totally rock — super friendly and incredibly talented!!! Matt gave me my first ever tattoo and he is amazing & so down to earth! If you’re ever in the area definitely stop by and see these guys

Super nice guys here! Small and clean. Great atmosphere. Kyle did my tattoo and it turned out just how I asked. Very happy! Go see them!

Best Tattoo shop in the Anaheim area and OC in my opinion. I wasn’t a fan of traditional until I saw the amazing artwork by Gus and the other artists stationed here. Very clean shop with walls of just amazing pieces that make you want every single one tattooed on your body. I had my tattoo done by Gus as I’ve been a fan of his work for years, but I also follow Matt and Kyle as they also have exceptional work! You can’t beat the amazing price for the exceptional quality. Everyone is super friendly from the moment you walk in. Gus was awesome giving me his opinion on sizing and positioning, and the sketch was perfect the first time around. My tattoo was finished in only an hour! Gus has the lightest hand I’ve ever experienced, no bleeding and minimal healing time. I’m ESTATIC with the experience I’ve had here and can’t wait to keep coming back. A week later and my tattoo is almost completely healed, the colors are amazing, and I experienced no fall out of color. If you’re looking for an OC shop, this is it!

Love this place! Justin, Kyle, Gus they’re all amazing artists! So clean and crisp. Super friendly too! You won’t be disappointed! Keep up the great work boys!

These guys were super rude and acted like we were a burden.

I would give this place 10 stars if i could. Torch is spotless clean, very professional, competitively priced and friendly. Every time i look at my tattoo i love it more. Kyle Crowell is an outstanding artist and works really hard to get exactly what i’m looking for. He works quickly but the level of detail is unreal! Check out my new tiger!

I have gotten all my tattoos from Justin and his work is out of this world. Such a clean and professional shop.

Finally decided to get my first tattoo and looked on Unilocal for a local place. The reviews were amazing so I gave them a call. They were able to schedule me about an hour and a half later. I was really glad because even though it was an easy one for them, I was a bit nervous, and wanted to get started.
Walked in and agreed with all the other reviews on how clean it is. I was greeted right away and Gus told me he could help me out.
Once he got started, he checked in with me frequently to see how I was doing. I had my husband with me and we talked about all the local places we both go to.
Gus was very clear on what to do until my tattoo was healed. I saw samples of the work they do and I still felt as though I was just as important as someone who was getting a more detailed tattoo. He was so friendly and easy going. The whole thing was over before I knew it with no pain. I could not be happier.

My fiends and I are visiting from Phoenix and I wanted a new tattoo for my 50^th birthday. Justin was very accommodating and patient. We spoke a few times on the phone and he did exactly what I wanted. I am extremely happy with my tattoo.

Kyle Crowell tattooed me.
I found him on Instagram. His work is impeccable.
I emailed him and he responded within a day. I told him my ideas and gave him artistic freedom. I couldn’t be happier! So stoked on my newest tattoo.!!
He smells nice and is really down to earth and made me laugh and feel really comfortable. All the guys at Torch Tattoo are cool and fun to be around.
I spent 4hrs there and they taught me all about Hockey and sticks and beards and stuff. It was a really great time.
I can’t wait to get more work done from Kyle in the future.

We picked this shop from Unilocal reviews and they were spot on. Everyone was friendly, shop was clean and Matt did an amazing job on our Jack and Sally tats. Check out the photo in pics. We will go back if ever in the area again.

I got tattooed today by Jonty. It was my first time visiting Torch Tattoo and my first tattoo appointment with Jonty. The result is amazing! I had such a wonderful experience. Jonty made sure to have my tattoo drawn up ahead of time, the rest of the artists were fun to talk to, everyone was SO NICE. True professionals. True artists. The flash on the walls showed just how much variety these guys are capable of. I can’t say anything bad about this place. I will be back!

The environment was outstanding and the whole crew are friendly… got my full sleeve finished up by Kyle Crowell and it looked better than I imagined! I already recommended the place to my friends and I would definitely come back again to get more work done… I highly recommend the place… if you want a great looking ink and it is done right then Torch Tattoo is the place for you!

Good ink ain’t cheap, and cheap ink ain’t good. Come in for the consultation, make an appointment, come back get your ink done right.

So, being a cancer patient, I have to be extremely careful about the environments I expose myself to. To celebrate my 5^th cancerversary and survivorship, family from my Relay for Life team decided to get commemorating tattoos right after the event. Torch Tattoo is incredibly clean. The front waiting area, the bathroom, and the artists stations were all neatly organized and every tool that was used during the session was packaged and clearly sanitized.
Justin (our amazing artist) was made well aware of my special needs and he had no problems accommodating requests. I didn’t realize until after our session that he had booked us on Sunday, his day off. This was a really nice thing to do because it isless exposure for me. He even helped us come up with the simple design of a cancer ribbon incorporated into the word ‘love’ that was provided in my handwriting. No judgment on his part regarding our lack of creativity ;) LOL. He was incredibly patient with the nervous members of the group, and he was more than supportive of the spirit we came in.
He was well aware that my tattoo was being paid for by my wonderful, amazing, beautiful and single aunt. Since I wasn’t paying for it anyway, there was no reason to do what he did. He refused payment for my tattoo. Look, the guy has a shop to run, employees to play and bills just like we all do. I would absolutely never ask an artist for a $$$ break– they have it tough enough in that career field. That was an incredibly touching moment. He was totally supporting the fighting spirit that we had come into the shop with. He should have stopped there, really– but no. He donated his tip towards fighting brain cancer! This guy deserves a humanitarian award, really.
I know you want info on the actual tattoo, and yes, I do realize it’s a review of a tattoo shop and not of amazing folks, but I couldn’t help it. But seriously, his talent matches his heart. The design was simple, but nonetheless, he perfected what we could only imagine. Everyone of us was extremely happy with the outcome. Apparently I chose a pretty painful part of my body to tattoo, my palm. But Justin prepared me and talked me through it. He offered me a couple of choices with the coloring of the heart, but helped me pick the right color. I love it. The tattoo, the meaning, and the experience are all dear to me. I cannot thank him enough for being a part of these memories I was able to create with my family. Support Torch Tattoos. Simply put, their work rocks as much as the values they practice. And don’t be tight with your tips. These guys give back where it counts ;)

Absolutely amazing shop! I can’t say enough about Justin, his artistry, gentle hand, and kind heart!!! He opened for us after hours just to do our tattoos honoring our beautiful Angelina!

GREAT shop! Very clean, the artists are personable and don’t have that «I’m a rockstar» attitude you get from most shops!
My Brother-​In-​Law passed away in February and my wife and I wanted to get a tribute tattoo. They were very accommodating and drew up our design in minutes. The work was spot on, detailed and the cold was bright and perfect. The tattoo healed quickly, which is always a great sign!
My wife and I will be back again and again!

Kyle Crowell is a great tattooer. Takes time to bring your ideas into fruition and executes them beautifully. I have three tattoos by Kyle and my husband has two (but the ribs probably could count for at least three). Beautiful work, great guy, highly recommended.

I love Torch Tattoo! I found Kyle Crowell after seeing his work on Instagram … A lot of mutual friends and other tattoo artists would «like» his work and I started following him. I was immediately impressed and decided to make contact in the real world for an appointment. His first tattoo he did was bats across my upper stomach. I’ve since gone back for five more pieces from him. Every time I present my idea he sketches it out better than I imagined, and always on point. He’s also super nice, and everyone at the shop is professional, and spotless clean. For my birthday he have me some prints in celebration. All in all I’m super proud that it’s Kyle’s work decorating this canvas of mine, and would recommend all of the dudes at Torch for your tattoo needs.
