I had an emergency situation with one of my back dermals and Blue was wonderful! Was ready to help and got me in and out with no stress. Even with the removal process I hardly felt it🙏😩

Got a very small and simple tribute tattoo done by Bri. She was amazing: very kind, welcoming and very flexible and patient with my indecisiveness about the design, as well as my need to change the appointment at the last minute. As I only got a small piece, I cannot vouch for full pricing range, however, I believe that while the prices are on higher side, I don't think that for their location and their staff skill/facilities that it is unreasonable. Would recommend!

Blue is the absolute best! He is the only person I will ever go to for my tattoos now. After he did an incredible cover up for me, another tattoo, and touch ups, it’s safe to say I trust him with anything I bring him! Could not recommend more.

Super professional and friendly people. Very clean space. Loved the work they did for me, and the reasonable price that it cost. Conveniently located in a cool neighborhood just a few blocks from the beach. Really couldn’t be happier with my experience at the Apollo!

This was my first time here at the shop , my tattoo artist was Raa , he was very professional and knowledgeable and knows exactly what he's doing. He is very experience at what he does best... My tattoo came out really good , but I had to go back to get a touch up because for my situation I had a little complication with the healing process, it was my fault for not taking proper care of my tattoo, but I went back to Raa and it actually came out better then the original, so I guess everything happens for a reason... lol no complaints only gratitude for his services 🙏
