Mortuary Tattoo

The entire experience was fantastic! I'm obsessed with my tattoo and my tattoo artist because he truly is an artist

I've gotten three tattoos from Alex Pulido at this location and absolutely love them all! Fairly priced, clean work, and awesome staff! 10/10 would reccomend

First big piece being done masterfully by Alex. Absolute beast of an artist, hit him up.

It's hard for me to write this because I really think there's great potential here, but the artists haven't been tattooing as long as I thought. Some are still learning, and that's okay. They're talented for the amount of time they've been tattooing when it comes to clean lines and vibrant colors, I really want to see them improve their craft and grow. But there are some things I want to be honest about so people don't make the same mistakes I made. My boyfriend & I take good care of all our ink and stay attentive throughout the healing process, because we respect an artist's time and work they put into it.

I was recommended this shop by an old high school acquaintance. Several acquaintances went here so I figured I'd follow their choice. They do beautiful designs and that's what got me hooked. I personally never had issues with healing when it came to Ashley, but my healing process was not normal with Joelle which I'll explain later. I love my small pieces, but my big custom pieces I wish I would have done more research with artist wise and had a lot more patience with. "Cheap big piece? What have I got to lose." I look at them and feel sad. I'm scared of going out in public and showing them off. They're great pieces, just wasn't what I originally imagined they would look like when finished I guess. As much as other people like them, I'm depressed. It's my fault for not being more thorough before it was on my skin though.

They have really open schedules, which I thought was great, but I feel like maybe it's because they're still new to the industry. I got so much ink done too quickly and I didn't realize the impulse until it was too late. Ashley originally told me to put aquaphor on day 1, I had no issues when I did this to each one. I was told to put lubriderm lotion on the tattoos day 1 with Joelle's. It had white/yellow ooze from the thin layer applied, and became hard as a rock and crusty, with a yellow/brown glossy tint for a little over a week. I couldn't move my arm for a few days that's how bad it hurt. Joelle insisted it was normal, but I really don't think it was after my boyfriend's experience. He wanted to get a logo on his calf and he also said it was the most painful tattoo he's gotten compared to another artist who tattooed his chest and spine. His other tattoo on the same calf by Ashley barely hurt him, no issues with healing. (Using aquaphor like I did day 1 instead.)

After he got his tattoo with Joelle, he couldn't walk for several days. He was literally crawling in pain that's how bad it was. Just like I couldn't move my arm for several days, but worse. He had the same healing reaction I did, but it started to break out with red dots all over 2-3 weeks later. He went to the doctor and they said it was Staff infection and he had to take antibiotics and ointment to treat it. It took a few months for the redness to go away. He kept messaging Joelle and she never took responsibility for it. He put a thin layer of lubriderm on his tattoo day 1 like he was told. Another artist said it's too fresh to put lotion in the pores the first 2 days and it can get clogged, and the pores should be able to "breathe." He followed her healing process 100% correctly I can vouch for, cleaned with antibacterial soap everyday. HIS FOOT WAS LITERALLY SWOLLEN! He never covered it at night with a blanket, but Joelle said it's probably because he wore a sock. The sock wasn't even near the tattoo. He stopped wearing socks, still wasn't improving. He even bumped into her at a convention and she never said anything to him. The ink rejected around the discolored, hardened areas just like my ink in the same areas rejected. An artist at the convention said the face should be facing towards him and was backwards. He asked another artist "What's wrong besides the infection here?" "Oh, it's backwards." It just wasn't fair or acceptable. I'm finally going to come out and say it so people are careful. I mean no harm writing this, but I'm afraid this will continue to happen unless they change something. They're just too heavy handed.

I love all the artists & art here that's why I give them discounts at my shop, this place rocks! I wish all tattoo shops were like Mortuary but none are, this place is a diamond in this desert.

Please don’t host Friday the 13th deals if you’re not able to honor them or have decent organization practices. Half of the staff was friendly, the other half was very unprofessional. Couldn’t imagine how the situation would go if they happen to mess something up that isn’t easy to fix. Go at your own risk.

Got this super cute tattoo with my daughter. Jorey is an awesome tattoo artist and I highly recommend her. Very clean and sterile place and very reasonable prices

Great place. They made me feel welcome and was very informative. They didn’t make me feel like i was just a number and they didn’t make me feel like i was asking too many questions.

after getting tattooed four times by the same person, i was scared of going anywhere for another tattoo even though i was dying for one. so glad i came here. chill and welcoming environment.

This place was amazing I got a tattoo by Mark that is a beautiful watercolor rose and later that day came and got my septum pierced by Marah! I will be back for more art!!!
