Remington Tattoo Parlor

First off, Remington Tattoo Shop has the most professional staff that I've met at any tattoo shop. The artists are well trained. Their equipment are well-maintained. Also, they have a high degree of sterility with their methods-including OSHA health compliance.

The quality of their art speaks for itself-brilliant custom designs in color or black and grey. Terry did an amazing job completing two full biomechanical sleeves (wrist-shoulder). When I had a concern with a detail to be changed to my liking, he would adapt and improve the design.

This is a premium quality shop that I would recommend to anybody.

LOVE this place! Cozy and intimate with amazing artists. Jasmine Worth has done most of my pieces and I continue to get compliments daily. Her background in oil painting really shines through in her tattoo work and I am looking forward to visiting her at Remington again in the near future 🖤

Terry and his crew are the most dedicated, hard working, and professional artists around. Working on a half sleeve with Terry and he has been so friendly, informative, and collaborative with my ideas and designs. I understand why all the artists are in demand. The shop itself is clean, comfortable and really home like. I LOVE my experience there. You will too!

Terry and the rest of the crew are true professionals. The atmosphere is calm, clean and focused on making high quality art.

I've had 2 pieces that became 1 done by Terry, and going back in December to start a new one. Terry's illustrative style combined with traditional is vivid and colorful and bold that is definitely going to hold for years to come. I came to Terry with a few ideas and a couple references and he brought my vision to life, and for that I can't thank him enough.

Can't recommend Remington enough to anyone who will listen.

I got the honor and privilege to get my first tattoo with Terry Ribera. I went with a biomechanical sleeve. I didn’t know what to expect but, I was pleasantly surprised. Terry is very professional and easy to talk to. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I told him what I liked and he just started sketching away on paper. I was blown away at his thought process and how it all just came together. The man is a true artist, which is evident by just sitting in the shop. It’s like an actual art gallery with a lot of throwback memorabilia and his own paintings and artwork. I am beyond stoked about my sleeve and have already scheduled for my next one! The wait is about 10-12 months, but if you see his work, you’ll know why!

Remington Tattoo Parlor - My artist was Terry Ribera.

let me start off by saying, i got a tattoo cover up done by Terry.

Before even finding Terry and Remington Tattoo, i contacted SEVERAL tattoo artists to see if they could get the job done, what my options were and had many questions about the process in general.. Many emails going unresponsive - never hearing from them, or when the few artists finally did respond (took several weeks), pretty much every artist told me a cover up would not be possible and i would need to do laser removal first. No one wanted to work with me. At that point i had lost hope that this was ever going to be possible.

Then comes my experience with Terry. Frustrated and a little upset that no one wanted to work with me, i had googled something like 'best cover up tattoo artist', seeing as i need to find someone who has a lot of experience with covering tattoos. Google referred me to Remington Tattoo... i looked through Terry's portfolio, loved the art and his work, and i read that the shop specializes in things like this... so i said, ok, lets send a message. This is probably the last bit of hope i had left.

i believe it was literally 1 day later. i received a really lengthy, well composed, very informative and detailed response from Terry. Not only saying he would have no problem doing the cover up, but also went into such detail about the process. Like, deep into the technical details of why he would do XYZ when doing the cover, going into black&grey theory, etc!. I was shocked... every other artist wasn't giving me the time of day, and the various vague responses i got all told me to just laser it off first. Here comes Terry, with this extremely personal, detailed, lengthy email message, you could immediately tell "this guy loves his job". He took time out of his day to really make me feel comfortable. i didn't hear from an assistance just telling me to come in. He took his personal time, which essentially is what won me over.

And every experience after that was just as professional and great. We met up for the consultation, pre-covid, so he can take a look at my existing tattoo. In person, he was extremely personable, it felt like i was hanging out with an old friend. He was super confident. I brought some example images i found on google for brainstorming and idea sharing. He immediately began drawing right in front of me and came up with a really wicked tattoo idea which i was extremely happy about. Went home that night feeling not like just another customer at a tattoo shop, but as if i had made a friend.

it took us 2 sessions, about 6 hours, Terry works extremely fast and efficient. He gets the ink in and gets you out there, no fooling around. i left with an awesome tattoo, that is a very unique style, and honestly, couldnt have been happier with the overall experience. I have had other tattoo's done before, and i can say, this experience was not like any other. This was the most comfortable and positive experience i have ever had in a tatttoo chair. Even after leaving, and being done, a few texts messages of Terry sharing pictures of the final product and his sincerity about having me as a client... it went a long way in my book... considering, for me, the communication was superb from the very first email, you can tell it was genuine.

the shop was extremely clean, everyone was very nice and professional, and there's really not a bad thing i could say about the shop.... well, other than the drive. I live in Orange County, and going to San Diego was a bit of a trek... but not too bad, that is not the shops fault.

10/10, would recommend Remington and Terry 100%. great experience, great vibes and i will be going back to get more when time, money and ideas of what to do next allows... Thank you Terry.

I got a tattoo covered up that was on my foot and it was great. It was affordable for the great quality. My tattoo artist Terry was careful, safe, and very hygienic. I recommend him to anyone, he’s quick and efficient. He pays attention to every detail, and doesn’t waste any time. I truly recommend him. You won’t regret getting a tattoo from Remington Tattoos.

Great shop with awesome and talented people. Jasmine is an excellent and professional artist. She really cares to bring what you want to life and translates ideas to design with skill. I highly recommend her as a tattoo artist.

I have hired Terry Ribera, the owner of Remington Tattoo, to do the bulk of my two full arm sleeves over the years. He is an excellent artist who listens carefully to your needs, and he plans with you in advance the artwork that you wish to have done. He is patient and thorough, and he does his best to accommodate you with his busy schedule. I will soon be going back to Terry to begin work on two calf sleeves.

Terry, he is the best artist I have ever meet. I have to agree with others, Terry takes the time and sit down, and he draws your art work right in front of you no cut and paste with him. I have been to other high end shops and their artist are stuffy and want to charge you top dollar for average art work. Wish all of my tattoos were done by Terry. Terry is worth the wait.
