English Tattoo Company

I have had nothing but great experiences with this shop. I had 3 tattoos done by English
1. Cover up of an old crappy tattoo
2. A touch up of one of my favorite tattoos
3. A brand new original tattoo
The level of skill and service has brought me back for more work. I highly recommend checking them out for your next tattoo.

Got my first tattoo done tonight and it came out amazing!!! I got my dog’s paws on my chest and Alex did it she is just amazing. I didn’t feel any pain (given what I was told by people) she made me feel right at home and I was so relaxed knowing that I’m in good hands. I someday want to get my dog’s face done on my chest and Alex would be the one I would go to. Thank you Alex for doing just a great job.

English has been doing most/​all my tats for the past. almost 15 yrs or so! I love my tats and he is suuuper cool! I highly recommend English!

This is the ONLY place to go get a tattoo in Orange County. I have a few tattoos and I can’t say that I’ve been happy enough with the overall satisfaction of the «tattoo experience» to go back to one shop… until now. English is professional, takes away the anxiety of getting a tattoo, and most important doesn’t dig & hurt! I came in, scheduled an appointment, emailed an example of what I wanted and he brought it to life using his artist skills. He doesn’t pressure anything, he’s open and honest. 3 days later, my tattoo is healing beautifully, and I can’t stop looking at it. His line work is awesome, and shading in all the right places. I am very pleased and can’t wait to come back for more.
Thank you English!

I’ve received four tattoos from English, and I will be back for more. Great atmosphere, conversation, and incredible ink!!! None better!

I just got my first tattoo and it was done by Alex. She was so nice and did a great job calming my nerves. She has a light hand and created really crisp lines, the design is really small but she did a really great job. I couldn’t have asked for a better first tattoo experience.

My husband and I have been getting inked by English for years. His line work is insane. English will take the time to talk to you, find out what you want, draw some custom artwork for you and schedule your appointment. His shop is not full of people standing around watching friends get tattoos, he limits how many people can be behind the counter. He does do specials on occasions, Sailor Sundays, where it is walk in service however, he mostly does tattoos by appointment. Stop in, talk to the guy and make an appointment. You will not be dissapointed.

English just recently did a piece on my shoulder and it came out AWESOME!!! Shop is in a great location and has a great vibe. Looking forward to going back many times! Won’t ever be looking for another tattoo artist.

An awesome shop, very professional and the artists are very talented. I get all my work done by Alexandra. Beautiful custom work!

I was not impressed by this shop all around. The staff was very dismissive and difficult to communicate with. The tattoo I got ended up turning out very poorly and have started laser treatments to get this damn thing off my body!

Great experience, and awesome people working there. I will definitely go back and recommend this shop to anyone.

English does amazing work, he’s got a heavy hand but the line work is so crisp and clean. He is affordable and has a great location. His shop is also really professional and nobody is wandering around smoking pot or drinking, like I’ve seen at other shops. I’ve had 3 pieces done there, and am going back today to get more work done on my back piece (which is my ENTIRE BACK).

Been going there for years! Super friendly and super clean! Just got something done last night! Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else! Walk-​ins are welcomed, but I advised having an appt. and your ideas ready! Prices aren’t bad, either. But, it’s the artistry you want — and this place is a goldmine!

English is one of the best tattoo artists I’ve seen since I’ve been getting tattooed (2003). Let’s just say that I keep two or three of his business cards on me at all times; I’m constantly having people compliment me on my tattoo’s, specifically the vibrant color of the ink. When I came to him in early 2008, I told him I wanted sleeves. Since then he has tattooed six Sailor Jerry-​esque pieces and the count continues. On my right arm I have: a pirate ship, mermaid, skull and crossbone (my favorite), anchor, and swallow with my daughter Audrey’s name in the banner. On my left arm I’ve started a peacock, which I plan to finish within the year. I’ll never go to anyone else. English has the expertise and British manner that I love. I’d highly recommend him.
He specializes in: Sailor Jerry style, realistic, Japanese, detailed sketch and the like. He’s great at bright color as well as black and white. Definitely check out his portfolio and Facebook Page (for newer tattoo’s). He’s great at coming up with original ideas as well as mimicking a photograph or graphic verbatim. His pricing is very competitive and reasonable, especially considering his 10 plus years experience.

Met English and his crew through my girlfriend. Saw what good work English does and decided it was time to get some new ink. Had not been worked on in almost 15 years. Brought English my designs and he turned them into art. His work and skills are amazing. The shop is the kind of place you don’t want to leave. Just kick back, watch whatever flick they have going, and get some work done. English Ink is the tattoo experience you are looking for!

I have a very large piece on my back designed by English… He does AMAZING work! He is very good at shading and making fine lines, color, black and gray, pretty much anything! I can’t wait to get back in there for all of my other tattoo ideas that I have. Highly recommend this shop. If you want a perfect tattoo that you are not going to regret, go here!

I have a beautiful tattoo on my back and honestly love it! Thank u English for taking my simple idea of a cross and turning into a beautiful piece of art! I highly recommend coming here!

I have been going to this shop for ten years. Great artists, Jason is excellent just about all my work has been done by him. Very professional and clean shop, personable. If your in the area I definitely recommend stopping by this shop and checking it out!

great place for tats. creative, openminded and awesome work. if youre looking for a cappucino and croissant-​go somewhere else. tattoo shops are for tattoos and if you have a stupid idea, youll get a stupid response. if you know what you want and let the artists do what they do, you will be very happy here. prices will fluctuate on how much of a douchebag you are.
dont forget to leave a generous tip!

My friend came in trying to get a tattoo and the artist was completely rude. He drew a mediocre looking design and when my friend asked if he could change it a little bit to her style he said that he’s not going to change anything and that she could leave if she didn’t like the design. SO WE LEFT! Don’t go here for the service.
