The Jade Buddha Tattoo

Went in to get double forward helix piercings done. Christine did my piercings, very sweet and informative. She had a client right before me but the wait wasn't long at all, she was quick. I was expecting the piercings to be a bit more painful just from reading up and watching online videos of experiences people had when they got the same piercings done. Majority of them stated it was quite painful. But surprisingly it felt like a regular ear lobe piercing to me. No bleeding, no swelling, no pain! Definitely check this place out if you're interested on getting piercings or tattoo work done, they offer great prices that won't put a hole in your wallet.

I recognized the shop due to the previous shop, DTS. However it was shut down for whatever reasons. But I'm glad to see that the shop is up and rolling with a new manager.

I came in for a tattoo that was not finished by a previous tattoo artist who was obviously taking advantage of my money by not being able to finish within 2 sessions that I had. I know that in order to have a really good quality tattoo, you'll have to spend a lot of money which I was willing to pay for. It was ridiculous that I spent more than $600-700 for outlining, a few on shading & color and a rose -.-

I messaged the shop via Facebook to get a quote on my unfinished tattoo. The person managing the Facebook's page was really nice and helpful. He explained each of the artist's specialty which are either Jack or Lee. After sending my pictures and all that, it was such a hard decision to choose Jack or Lee because I've seen both of their portfolios an they are amazing but in the end I chose Jack to finish my tattoo. I notified that they will be dealing with a deaf/hard of hearing person (me). It wasn't a problem for the shop or for Jack because they gave me Jack's number to text which is much convenient for me as I suck at understanding people on the phone.

Days later, I saw the Tap Out Challenge on Facebook which got me to thinking that I should take it instead of a regular tattoo session. A tap out challenge is a 9 hours of being tattooed (anything you want and like) from the moment the shop open to when the shop close. In return for achieving the challenge, you get a free shirt. The best part is that it only cost $400 for 9 hours, flat rate! Not many shops can do that deals often!

When my best friend and I came into the shop to make a deposit & confirm for my tap out appointment, this guy, the tattoo apprentice (I assume), was there and he was really cool and nice. Very cute, I must say lol. Lee was also there to discuss about a tattoo with a person. They were really cool with us. Lee being the most interactive person, he was eager to learn and know about me and my friend. After leaving the shop, I notified Jack via texting that I'd come through on my appointment day. We both felt that cool, homely vibe from the shop which is good because not a lot of shops can give off that kind of vibe.

On the day of my appointment (6/28/2014)
I was excited and ready to finish my tattoo! There are private rooms for each tattoo artist and piercer, which was nice so that I didn't have to worry about strangers staring at me. I came here with my friend waiting for Jack to get started. The whole set up is SUPER clean. He was so awesome interacting with me and my friend thru the whole session like, he knew to look at my face to talk to me or use gestures when I didn't understand him. I could tell that he knew how to deal with deaf people. That's a big plus for Jack and his customer service! I was kinda a big baby throughout the session because my skin was so raw and it hurt like a b**** -.- Jack and Lee were so nice in asking me and my friend if we wanted anything (food &/or drinks) from the liquor store. In the end, Jack finally finished my tattoo and did a much better job than my previous tattoo artist. :D

All in all, my experience here at the shop is truly amazing and I'm definitely coming back here for more!

i got a piercing here and they were super nice, professional, and their pricing (at least for piercings) were very reasonable! i reccomeneded this place to all my friends because its affordable for students but it doesnt sacrifice quality.

I met Allan S at a friend's party and he noticed my wrist tattoo and asked me about it. I told him I'd gotten it in August 2014 and it had faded and now looked like a scar instead of what I'd intended! He took my number, followed through and I ended up with a much more beautiful version. He created the exact teal I wanted and it was about 50X less painful than the first time. He also took the time to explain dermals to me as well and also scarification. It was very clean (and as a microbiologist myself that was the first thing I was looking at). Everyone working that day was super professional and also really chill. You could tell they all really like each other and their work environment. 100% happy with Jade Buddha all around. Ask for Allan S, he does beautiful work and is a dope ass mofo just as a human.

Amazing service! I got my tattoo of my ex covered up finally and they did an amazing job here! I'm definitely coming back to get a piercing soon.

Just got my second lobe holes pierced and they're fantastic! Great atmosphere and terrific artists with a chill atmosphere!

I have worked with Allan and he is great. He was very patient with me and took the time to make sure the tattoo I wanted came out perfect. I was nervous at first but after he got started it was really fast. Also he has Netflix in case you will be there for a long time.
