Big Daddy’s Tattoo & Piercing

Don’t ever get tattooed by the Cambodian looking guy named nick he’s awful and sloppy… he was drinking on the job, also He had my friend waiting while he took in walk ins just to end up passing her to another artist which ended up a complete disaster, she now has a scared tattoo, the color never held and it’s only been 2 months… I went in today and nick was a complete asshole, he refused to give me the name or contact information of a supervisor

I am so happy with my latest nose piercing. After the last round at another Tattoo shop I was expecting pain and swelling. I am thrilled that there was not any after effect except for compliments. Jason Eusse is an artist. Kind and considerate he guided me through the entire process and I am a big baby but no whinnying this time. Quick and easy and the best price in town. I highly recommend this stir for all your personal body decorations

Very nice staff. The guy who did my piercing was very nice. It looks great too, love it! The shop was clean and very organized. I definitely would go back there again for more piercings!

Jason was a terrible piercer, he pierced my medusa and it was completely off. It was slanted and not straight. He also would not issue a refund just took it out and asked me to come back. I will not come back because he has no clue what he’s doing. I recommend anyone in the southbay who wants a piercing to go to DannyCups in Redondo Beach at Envy Body Piercing. DO NOT GO HERE! They also opened up late, 12:45pm. Didn’t open shop on time. They were 45 minutes late. I was waiting in the parking lot and when they arrived they had pizza and coffee. Extremely unprofessional. Never coming back to this place. They suck.

Big Daddy’s is awesome! My sister and I both went to Big Daddy’s for the first time in the middle of March. The date was important to me as it was my son’s birthday — my son who had died of cancer 3 years ago. He was 36 and promised to come back to visit as a butterfly — and it took me three years to figure out how to honor that. So I shared my idea of the butterfly I wanted and Maddie made the design on paper beautifully, and helped me determine where to put it, ended up upper back/​lower neck area. Also, if this was not sad enough our mother had just died on March 9 and my sister photo copied her hand writing from the bottom of a letter and planned that tattoo with Nick. First, as a tattoo virgin I was very pleased to see how clean everything was — gloves, new packages of stuff being ripped open, even Nick cleaning stuff and wrapping tables etc., in plastic wrap! So, Maddie prepped me and began the tattoo — it went quickly and when she was done, I was blown away — it is so beautiful. It as been two weeks and it has healed nicely and is even more beautiful. I love it. My sister also was so pleased with Nick, he captured our mom’s handwriting perfectly, and made recommendations as to which size it should be so it would look the best. It looks so awesome, Nick did a great job. I already have my next two tattoos planned and will be going back to Big Daddy’s and Maddie.

Had a great afternoon — time and money well spent with the sweetest couple, Madeleine & Jason — who have a genuine gift and talent in tattoo artistry! Thank you for your generosity & pension towards cleanliness — my wife and I highly recommend these guys.
Don’t forget to inquire about special military pricing, #HOORAH!

Awesome shop! Great tattoo artists! I recommend Liz for all your tattoo and piercing needs. She takes her time, and does a great job! And she has a very friendly personality, which makes the experience that much more fun!

This place is honestly a hit or miss. Overall though everyone I have spoke with was super unprofessional, awkward, or just rude. I went with a friend once for a consultation and we waited over 20 mins before someone even acknowledged us then waited another 20 mins for someone to talk to us. I went in to ask about their jewelry since they do piercings too but the guy working there seemed like he had no experience to deal with a customer but had piercings himself. He didn’t even know what kind of metal they were selling and talked down to me when I said I wanted a clicker. Saying if I wanted one I could go to a mall kiosk. Good for last minute quick and cheap but nothing that merits quality.

I had my dermal face piercing for 3 years and I called him up and asked him if he was able to remove it and he said yeah so I went down there and he got it out with it having just a very minimal scar now! Good work! Clean shop! Thank you so much bud!

I love the people at Big Daddy’s they are so nice and funny and really cool to be around. They are also very clean and sterile and i appreciate that. They conduct business well and make you fill out the proper forms before you are able to get whatever it is you’re going for. I have been pierced and tattooed there many times. I always got fair prices and quality work done there. My tattoo artist is John Lewis and he is AMAZING. He is such a talented artist and he always makes getting tattooed an experience. His humor gives me something to focus on besides the pain and he’s really upbeat. I have 3 tattoos done by him and i will ALWAYS go to him for anything i need done. He always makes sure i get exactly what i wanted and it always comes out beautiful and more that what i expected. So if you’re in the harbor area and your passing between PCH and Bell Porte stop on by and get tatted by John hes AWESOME You will NOT regret it !!!

This used to be a good tattoo shop. But Blake turned into a total ass. He kept arguing that I missed an appointment that we didn’t even argue 4 TIMES. I missed it one time and he just kept arguing. So there’s that. And it’s for a reshade. How can you trust him to not mess it up if I showed up. Greg was the man. But he’s got his own shop. Good luck with the attitude.

Pete Colombo is an awesome artist ! Very Cool, listens to the customer wants and needs and very courteous. He is very talented. I got some work done and it was awesome. I highly recommend people to go get their work done from him.

After a consultation with another professional I was sadly informed that my septum was not actually pierced but rather the edge of my nose. Basically, there’s a big chance that my piercing could reject because of the improper placement if not removed soon. I’m sad that I wasted money getting pierced here. Lesson learned.

As soon as I walked in with my girlfriend for her to get tattooed, I saw one of the artists walking out of the front entrance with a small marijuana plant in his hand and marijuana wrapped in a swisher cigar in his ear. I would have left but my girlfriend really wanted the tattoo at that moment so I stayed while she got it. I don’t find it very professional that the artists would be handling marijuana like that out in the open. They make a big deal by having you sign to get your tattoo and not be under the influence but at the same time are doing it but for

Don’t even waste your time or money… Over priced and terrible customer service. Don’t believe their supposed «hours» since they do not honor it. I came in with 30 minutes before closing for a nose piercing and they told me they didn’t have enough time… Didn’t even bother to keep my business. I’ve had two piercings done by them to later find out I could have saved $ 30 off each piercing.
Don’t bother coming here, horrible customer service

I’ve gone here to get both my bellybutton piercings re-​done and it was amazing. I was expecting a lot of pain because of scar tissue but it hurt less than the first time and they’re doing great!
I also got my front helix done which hurt like a bitch but it was over quickly and it’s doing really well.
Both people who pierced me were awesome, made me feel comfortable, and have excellent piercing abilities.
I’ve been meaning to go back for a tattoo! And of course more piercings ;)

I did lots of research on medusa piercings and after looking at so many reviews of so many tattoo/​piercing shops I came across Big Daddy’s. I was a bit nervous about the pain and I had seen many videos online. There were different methods when piercing this spot… I had seen some just shove the needle through and pulling the lip with their hands. Scary.
Mr. Pete Colombo did my medusa piercing. I had my Monroe piercing before but it was 10 years ago and it was completely closed so I didn’t really know what I was in for… Pain wise. Pete was awesome. After communicating with him on Instagram I was finally able to stop by. I felt like it happened within seconds. Easy peasy! I’m very happy with my piercing! Thanks Pete!
Everyone in the shop is very professional, the place is clean. You feel welcomed when you come in. This is definitely the spot, have questions. Stop by these guys are there to help!

Pete «TigerShark» Columbo tattooed my forearm with a design that exceeded my expectations. He helped combine 2 existing tattoos into my new nature inspired sleeve. PeterHe is a super chill, talented artist. He worked really efficiently and made the whole experience perfect. I’ll follow TigerShark to his own studio for more ink in the future! Thanks Pete!

I LOVE Big Daddy’s!
Thanks John and Pete!
I went in yesterday with my mom to get a tat for her birthday. I decided to get one too. My mom got a heart with an arrow through it and a rose vine around it. It came out badass!!! I got a dreamcatcher one my upper arm. John did our work. He really made it his own. I loved that he wanted me to have a unique and individual piece because there are many dreamcatcher tattoos out there. He gave me an incredible price too! Most shops would charge over $ 500 for the piece! He really works with your budget and he’s all about the results. He wants you to be thrilled with your new ink!
He did a great job. He was fast but it came out great. I’m very happy with it!
The next day (today) I came back, and I got 2 dermal piercings on my collarbone! Pete did the piercings. Even though this is supposed to be one of the most painful piercings, Pete got it done and over with extremely fast. He also made very sure that the dermals were lined up properly. He checked and rechecked several times until he was sure they were going to be perfect.
I’m very happy (and very sore!) with my new ink and piercings! Thank you guys so much! I will definitely be back, and I will recommend my friends to you

This place came highly recommended by one of my buddies so we decided to come here to get our dear friend an ink virgin inked up.
In true nerd form she had her artwork done in scale to her arm. Tattoos are personal so I won’t get into the details but it would have been a beauty. Unfortunately, it was too detailed really small… The tattoo artist was really nice and not pushy and explained to her what it would look like in a few years of she went with that level of detail with that scale (not pretty) yep skin does stretch. They worked On a couple of suggestions and now she is back to drawing board and has a few decisions to make.
I was really impressed with the service and attention he gave us and appreciate his honesty. Honest artist, he is about the the craft and end product and not chasing the dollars.
