I've been here twice now: once getting my lobes repierced, and once to fix helix piercings done elsewhere. The other piercer used studs that were too short and my ears were growing over the backs of them. I was DREADING getting them fixed, but John was quick and very gentleβI was expecting an 8 out of 10 in pain and it was more like a 3 or 4. After this I'll be coming back to Red Wave for any future piercings; I just trust them to do a solid job of it.

Me and my friend got our first tattoos there from izzac and the guy was so cool and friendly and did a amazing job for both of ours tattoos. Definitely would go back and recommend to a friend.

Professional, clean, fair pricing and courteous. If you're looking for a tattoo that stands out and stands alone this is the place to be. Any style anytime. Richard is a true artist, along with all the others. No scratchers working here, just award winning artists doing award winning tattoos.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I went in with my own artwork, however I had asked the Tattoo ARTIST to help me make it a little more wispy or softer if you will. I had made the appointment weeks in advance and remained in contact sending several pictures and ides trying to make it perfect. All I ever received back was "rad". I was apprehensive about going in, however my husband and I participated in the Toys for Tots special they ran and I had 2 gift certificates about to expire. I decided to just go ahead with the tattoo. Worst mistake of my life! The artist sat me in a metal folding chair, proceeded to inform me about how mad he was about a previous customer complaining about the cost of their tattoo and how he is the only one who ever does anything at that shop. I tried to make small talk, I asked him what his favorite things are to draw/tattoo and in the middle of mine he declares he does not like doing superhero stuff.... Being that my tattoo was superhero related, that would have been good to know from the start. By the time he was done, there was blood running down my arm and it continued to bleed until the next day. I have never bled from any tattoo. When it was all said and done, the artist missed several spots, messed up the pattern and did not even use the right colors! He changed my tattoo alright but not for the better. It was terrible. I was in complete shock. A month and a half later I went to another artist and was able to repair the damage. He said I have a lot of scar tissue because the other guy dug into my skin. Do not go to Red Wave. If you do, do not get Will as your artist. You will regret it. There are far more better places in Fresno.

Really nice place, sterilized everything and place was clean, John pierced my eyebrow and was very professional and communicated with me through every step, and explained aftercare instructions very well. Would definitely go there again if I ever want to get another piercing.

Iβve had work done by Will and Richard. They obviously do different styles but they are both awesome! My most recent piece was done by Richard and I gotta say he is the absolute best. I will continue to go to this shop for tattoo only.
Samantha Balderrama
clean professional shop. Richard is awesome!
Update: my original artist Richard has been ignoring me for over a month, have not been able to get in for a touch up. I've decided to take my business elsewhere.

Everyone is dope, strong work done here. Everyone is cool too. Prices are up there but if u want a quality long lasting tattoo, pay up. I see Johnny Rockit. Super cool cat, easy to work with, and bad ass with the needle
