High Class Tattoo & Body Piercing

Write a Review559-222-2252

I went in earlier for an industrial piercing and I'm extremely glad I ended up at High Class Tattoo. I was really nervous about the piercing but Tim answered all of my mom's questions, explained the whole procedure to me, and told us which shops we should avoid when purchasing jewelry. The shop is really clean, the employees are really kind, and it was a great experience.

Had the best 4 hours of my tattooing life with Reno. I sat for one session, he did 2 cover ups, one on each arm. His work is just great (shading, color blending etc.). Lines very tight and straight, just can not get any better. He has a very light touch. His price is very reasonable. Highly recommend.

The second I went in High Class, I was greeted by a nice gentlemen. The piercer Tim, was great as I was very nervous about getting my tongue pierced. He was very reassuring and made me feel very comfortable. If you want a great atmosphere along with professional piercers who are very knowledgable, go here.

Was I happy? HELL YES! I've had work done all over CA but I can honestly say this place is the most professional tat shop I've ever been to!!

Contrary to the bad reviews, High Class Tattoo is one of the best shops in Fresno. The artists are friendly and knowledgable in their trades. For the quality that you get, the prices are a steal. I have been coming to this shop since day one and will continue to keep my business here. I recommend that if you want your tattoos or piercings done right the first time that you come to this studio.

Tiny Tim and John are badass and I will go there for all my future piercings and tell all my friends to go there too! Love the friendly attitudes and glad to give all the info we needed and answer any questions...awesomeness!

The only good artist here is audie. But theres still something of his work, i don't know if he does custom work, cuz all i see is biting. come on whats your tattoo style?

High Class is a great shop! If you did your homework you should know this. Everyone at this shop is professional thats why they have a gob at High Class. Maybe mom-with-kids should ask herself and tell all of us the REAL reason she went back ????? Time & time again ???? You must be a moron to keep going back if you were not happy with the work. We know why ya did it dont we ! None of the High Class Crew is violent! Must of been the hubby! High Class is just that :)

othis place blows!!! I did SOOOO much research before i went in and thought the tattooist i was getting was the ne who did all this art we see, i asked if i could speak to the artist of the shop and he said "thats me" and started taking all my info down of what i wanted, (i had a whole portfolio for my sleeve) <-- he wasnt the shop artist, his name is RENO for all of you who dont want to get stuck with child art.

I went in for my first few sittings, which were ok, i liked the art on paper, but once it was transfered, the face of the girl looked completely different. the next few sittings i went to were ok, since they were only in black and white and the art was good, there were monarch butterflies and a dragonfly that came out fine... each time i went in i was spending between 100 to 200 dollars for a 4 hour sitting that didnt even dent the piece. then they started getting whack. he no longer had artwork waiting for me, he would draw on my arm and say "it will look different once i finish"... there was supposed to be a river flowing thru the piece and he did some swirls also saying it would look different (i assumed it would be waves or something) and it turned out tribal blue ? and there was supposed to be ferns in the background, i also got green tribal swirls? he drew dragonflies, and they look NOTHING like the first dragonfly he did, and THEY DONT EVEN LOOK LIKE DRAGONFLIES!!! he did an monarch butterfly, drawn on my arm, looks nothing like the rest of them.... not to mention, he changed needles through the middle of the sleeve and my arms started to scab and drain the ink... i stopped wanting to go cause i didnt want my arm to come out this way...and i had even gone in a few times and he would tell me, "i was supposed to finish this guy, im really sorry," im almost done with it, theres only background color that needs to be done, and he told me after sitting 9 it was all paid for... yes, it has been almost a year since ive been in, but i also own a business and have kids... not to mention he cant draw... so when i call he makes no remark of me needing to pay and sets the appointment.

i come in with my husband and am sitting on the couch waiting to be called back, (he has nothing ready for our appointment) and after 10 minutes calls us back, still hasnt set the needle in the gun poured ink, done anything. starts to tell me hes starting a childrens book, (is this so im ok with my child art arm?? lol) and then puts on his gloves and says "OH, did i mention you are going to have to pay for this sitting?" LOL ive already paid in FULL?! and i have to pay more?? ok.. so, not only are we dealing with liars, i ask audie, the owner of the shop (who is standing right there) what i should do and he tells me what ever goes on between me and my tattooist is my OWN problem??!!! well, guess what!!!! its also going to be his problem when high class gets sued for the rest of the amount it will take to finish... --->>>which isnt that much... like i said, they could have handled it like real business people and took care of the customer... in our shop, if someone comes in a whole year later, we have their sales order on file... THEY DONT LEAVE WITHOUT WHAT THEY PAID FOR....

IF YOU GO HERE DONT GO TO RENO!!! HE ISNT THE ARTIST OF THE SHOP!!!!!! AUDIE IS THE OWNER!!! THE ART YOU SEE IS HIS AND ONLY HIS; REMEMBER; RENO MEANS CHILD ART, his books will attest.. AND NOT TO MENTION, THEY TRIED TO JUMP MY HUSBAND FOR STICKING UP FOR ME!!! THESE GUYS ARE VIOLENT LIARS!!!! DONT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wanted to leave zero stars but they wouldnt let me
