LEFTY'S TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING REVIEWS

Excellent service and very professional. I've gotten 2 tattoos here and both are still awesome like I got them done yesterday. Going to get a third done here very soon.

We had a wonderful experience getting our ring finger tattoos. Great service with a smile. His sister next door should take some lessons from him.

This has been my go-to spot for the past 23 years for all my piercings and tattoos. Always professional, clean and friendly.

CAL STATE CREW REVIEWS

I’ve been coming to cal state and have been tattooed by Saul a couple of times. He’s always very friendly and willing to work with any tattoo ideas I have! He provides the best service and I’m always happy with my tattoos. Highly recommended Saul for your next tattoo.

If you are looking to get a tattoo done, go to Cal State Crew and ask for Billy. He's an amazing artist, with lots of talent, professional, and willing to work with any tattoo idea. He is patient, does not rush through his work, and is on point when it comes to detail. You will be well taken care of.
