Dead Crow Tattoo and Piercing

4÷28÷16 After leaving my original review on this business I expected to be done– but almost a month later, it was really unpleasant and rather embarrassing on this business’s end, receiving an aggressive message from the wife of this business’s manager. From the beginning: I set up an appointment with one of the artists here (April 1^st). The day of comes and the artist messages me saying verbatim «[the manager] is uncomfortable with me tattooing a breast during his session… for respect to his fiancé he does not tattoo any females in the chest area, nor wants it to be happening when he is there.» Now, this is just unprofessional and flat rude. If the owner’s wife wants to discuss the comments and tips on my page, I would like to point out the fact that out of the 21 reviews I have total, only 3 are negative. Unilocal is not just for compliments– it’s meant for the good, the bad, and the ugly. And this business has really showed me it’s not capable of professional work. To be met with this level of hostility and rudeness is just ridiculous.

My friend and I wanted to get a last minute tattoo for fun and I called the place to see if they would be able to take us in. Fortunately they were able to. When we got there we were greeted. We had to wait a bit but the wait wasn’t too long. Our tattoo artist’s name was Kalani. He was such a nice guy! I absolutely love my tattoo! Came out exactly how I wanted and he was willing to make my tattoo a size that fit in with my budget. Kalani has such a light and steady hand. I thought my tattoo was guna hurt like hell since its near my clavicle but nope, it actually felt good! Haha! I will totally come back to get more ink from Kalani!

So yesterday I can back to Tony for this gorgeous piece I had designed by one of my favorite artists. Tony was absolutely amazing as always! We got this done in about 2.5 hours which is insane. I couldn’t stop smiling when I saw it, and can’t stop smiling even now. I am so happy and again so pleased with my experience. Tony, you rock!

Megan has done four of my tattoos within the past year and she is freaking incredible! I found her through a mutual friend and since then I have been going to her for all of my tattoos. I love the style and personality that she puts in her tattoos and that she works with your budget. #brokecollegestudent so thanks for understanding there! She recently did a butterfly piece for me where I told her to style it how she wanted as long as it represented my life story. She showed me sketches after sketches and after the 3^rd time… she did it! Normally when I walk into a tattoo shop, I get stared at because I wouldn’t look like your typical guy to get tattoos and I’m not here to be judged. When you walk into Dead Crow, you are welcomed and not judged at all. Their music on spotify is fire because they play every damn genre LOL
But I so recommend Dead Crow to anybody looking for a tattoo!

Megan has now done four of my tattoos and i love each one of them so much. She’s done script on the side of my foot, shoulder, right above my elbow and she also did my sternum piece. She is quick and light handed so you’re not hurting anymore than you should be! She is easy to talk to and great work with when putting you tattoo together. I was recommend to her by a friend and i’ve recommended her to my friends and mother! Definitely going back!

This an amazing shop full of good artists and talent. I have been going to this shop for several years now. I have been going to see Tony Nguyen since day one. He has always performed jaw dropping amazing tattoos for not only me but some of my friends as well. I have never been unsatisfied with his work and he has always taken his time and made my tattoos look better than I ever could imagine! He gets better every day and it is amazing to see how much he has gotten better over the years. He is a great and friendly guy as well as a phenomenal tattoo artist. I recommend seeing Tony Nguyen you will not be let down and you will leave with a work of art that you will be proud to leave on your skin forever.

I’ve had two tattoos done by Megan and they’re both AWESOME! Had a best friend tattoo done, and as funny as it is, she took us both seriously and made us both feel comfortable. She has the LIGHTEST touch, and she genuinely cares about how her work heals up.
She was also able to take my girlfriend’s handwriting and tattoo it into a small piece that I love looking at every day. She’s the best!

Man the vibe of the shop is just overall wonderful, you have two amazing artists Megan And Tony and they are so helpful and talented. I have a small ufo done Megan and I love it. Thanks for being so passionate about your work

Had my second tattoo done by MEGAN, not only is she very good at what she does, she is also extremely proffesional, and will always communicate with you. Oh yeah and she has some of the best deals in OC.
Check her out for awesome work!

This shop has a very friendly vibe. Tony and Megan are both amazing artists. Megan has done 4 of my tattoos so far and I am in love with everyone of them. In the future I hope to get more from her. They make you feel very welcome into their shop. I would highly recommend this shop to people who have tattoos and do not alike. They are highly sanitary and make sure you know how to care for your tattoo after you are done. Both are very willing to answer any questions you have before and after your tattoo. They work very well with their clientele. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ amazing shop to go to!

in the middle of the process of finishing my piece, the artist who started it at another shop ended up moving before It was done!!! so when I was stressed out looking for an artist who I would’ve liked to finish my dragon, I found this place right down the street! The reviews on Unilocal and the talent of the store are no exaggeration! Tony, the owner of the shop, ended up finishing my tattoo and I’d say he is really skilled at what he does! In so happy with the way I my tattoo was worked on and Stoked is way too much of an understatement for the satisfaction I received from visiting dead crow! Tony is now not only one of the coolest artists I know but one of the coolest guys I know and even though I didn’t get the chance of being worked on by Megan she is a blast too! Definitely coming to this shop when I wanna get some ink again no doubt!

I’m incredibly happy with the work on my tattoo so far. Tony is the most incredible artist I’ve ever seen. He’s also one of the nicest. He is a class act all around. All I can say is «WOW!» If you want a custom tattoo, do yourself a favor and call Tony. You will NOT regret it.

They are amazing, I had a tattoo that was faded and just plain bad looking and I needed it to be touched up and Tony was great. I absolutely loved my experience.

I waited patiently for the perfect artist because I knew he was out there somewhere! TONY NGUYEN is by far the best artist I’ve ever known of! My tats are simple but they have deep meaning to me and all that God has done in my life! I KNOW He led me to Tony and I rejoice greatly for that! Tony has he most steadiest hand and therefore his work is clean and precise! I get so many compliments on them and I’m never going to another artist EVER!!! He is passionate about his work and is extremely gifted in this art!!!

I found Tony through one of my Instagram followers and I fell in love with his artwork. I decided to go to him for 3 small tattoos. I’ve been waiting to get tattoos for years because I wanted someone who could do great line work/​small details. His work is so neat, clean, and absolutely beautiful! The shop is in a great location, I loved everything inside. So clean and professional. He was so nice and very easy to talk to. A genuine person and a great artist. I felt completely relaxed the whole time, despite these being my first tattoos. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole day after I left. I’m in love! So thankful I found him. I can’t wait to return for another piece of his artwork! :)

Well here is my update for Dead Crow.
Yesterday morning 10am was when I was scheduled to come in and start the work on me.
When I arrived, Tony was there ready for me. All the documents signed, we looked at the spelling, placements etc. And before I could ask if this thing hurt, Tony was quick to reassure me and get me to relax.
The process started… IT HURT LIKE A *****
But the results was amazing!!!
Both sides of the rib cage…
I don’t regret Tony being the one who worked on me. I love my Ink.
Great design, straight lines, and nice job performed.
Next appointment for the 3^rd one is Tuesday!
Tony… You rock!

Just got back from getting my tattoo done by Tony. Everything you’ve read about him is true. He is kind and down to earth. He made sure to talk to me while I was getting my tattoo done to distract me from focusing on the pain. Their shop usually opens at 12p on Saturdays, but Tony scheduled me to come in at 10a. When someone is willing to come into work early, you know they love their job. Tony was patient with me on where I wanted the tattoo placed and wouldn’t proceed until he got it just the way I wanted it. I absolutely love my new tattoo. It flows so well with my old tattoo that you’d think I got the tattoos at same time. Tony is truly talented and I’ll be sure to visit him again if I decide to get another tattoo.

I had the best experience Here right when I stepped in the door. Meg was so polite from the start to end and really heard what you had to say. She listened to details and worked with you every possible way she could she’s genuinely nice overall. The environment is super clean knowing this because while I was getting a tattoo
Some guy left before me and tony was sterilizing practically everything. it looks amazing throughout. I got two rose tattoo that came out perfectly and for a decent price as well. I will be coming back without a doubt.

All my tats that I have on me are done by Tony Nguyen. He is a phenomenal artist along with the rest of the other artist there. I would not trust anyone else to put ink on my body. If you need a tattoo done get it here!

Tony is an amazing artist. He is the nicest tattoo artist I’ve ever met and makes you feel extremely comfortable. I’ll definitely recommend him to everybody I know interested in getting a tattoo. He’s also very reasonably priced which is a huge plus.

I came in to get a tattoo done by Megan and am so happy with how it came out!
She pays attention to what you want and makes sure you’re absolutely comfortable with how everything looks before she starts. She didn’t make me feel bad whenever I asked her to place the «stencil“in a different area or to try a different size. She’s awesome! I love my new tattoo and it’s healing so nicely. I love her work too and am definitely coming back to her for future pieces!
I also decided to get my nose pierced while there. Selena is the coolest!!! She gave me all the details on my piercing and how to care for it. I’ve had my nose pierced once before at a shop in the mall and it started pushing out — a week later it completely rejected itself. I was super bummed and worried that may happen this time too, but it didn’t! Here I am almost 3 weeks later and it’s healing perfectly! No swelling, no irritation, and it’s right where it’s supposed to be — no rejecting (:
Come and see these guys!
Clean shop, great service, very chill environment.
I can’t wait to come back (:

I stopped in earlier this evening to check out portfolios, chat about concept, and get a price estimate. I was kind of nervous because I’ve never gotten a tattoo before, but the shop was extremely clean and very inviting. Tony greeted me when I walked in, and though he was with a client at the moment, he was super welcoming and it definitely put me at ease.
I had checked out pictures of his work from online before I went in, and have been searching for a while now for someone I can trust to get what I’m going for. After chatting with Tony about what I want, he really understands my concept, and I’m excited to get to work on it.
I’ll update once the piece is done!

Tony has been my tattoo artist for years now and I refuse to go anywhere else. The shop is clean and friendly and Tony is amazing at his trade. If anyone is looking for an amazing tattoo artist and an amazing shop this is the place to go. I have my tattoos and piercings done here and couldn’t be happier. I recommend all my friends to go here and all of them love his work and are proud to have him as their artists.

My experience here was amazing! David was my artist and he took my tattoo to a whole new level. After consulting with him on a piece I wanted and showing him a few images and finally left confident that he would draw up a great piece. When I saw him a couple weeks later he had drawn up a masterful mix of my thoughts and his art! I work in the men’s hair industry and am in contact with hundreds of people, on multiple occasions I have been asked who does my work and I don’t hesitate to tell them how wonderful David was. I had someone tell me today that it looks as if he could touch my tattoo and it would come to life! I will be returning to David very soon, with big plans for future art!

I’ve gotten four amazing leg pieces by Chase Fiedler and they were all priced very well!!! His artwork is incredible and is always helpful with my design ideas. He even adds to it and makes it even more better! Everyone at the shop is super nice and I’m going to be going back for many more to come.

Tony did my tattoo in April 2014. I would have never imagined myself getting a tattoo but when my dog got really sick in March I decided I needed something to always have her near me. I’ve had my best friend since I was 5 yrs old and this was going to be a remembrance for her. My baby just turned 17 years old and I’m so happy I went to tony. I searched for lily flower tattoos online and finally found something I wanted. I showed him and he said he could do it. Went in a few weeks later and it came out beautifully. Thanks Tony ! I couldn’t have asked for anything better !
