Breakwater Tattoo 4130 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90807

"Justin Was amazing, from begging to end! He showed me the stencil, made sure the placement and size were to my liking, took his time to clean up his station throughly before I was able to get in there. He was very light handed while doing the tattoo! Had a great conversation about why he moved away from Chicago!! Tattoo still healing and peeling but I really had a great experience! 10/10 will definitely visit the shop again!"

"I had such an incredible experience the 5 sessions I have gotten tattoos by the owner, Justin. The shop is very clean, always has great music playing, and the team is very welcoming. Every artist is extremely friendly and they all take time to see what the others are working on. My experience with Justin was amazing. He’s a super friendly and kind guy and his work is incredible. I consistently get compliments for my half sleeve that was done by Justin; when we spoke about what I wanted, he delivered far beyond my expectations. 10/10 recommend this shop to anyone looking to get incredible work done. You will not regret it."

"I found Breakwater through traveling to Long Beach for a work trip and have absolutely loved my experiences here. I came for my first tattoo of substantial size by myself in a new city, and felt safe, comfortable, and left with a tattoo from Justin Tauch that was beautiful and healed really well. Also commissioned Justin for a piece of artwork when the world shut down for Covid and its the nicest piece of art I own. I had such a good experience I came back for another tattoo when work brought me back to LB. Highly recommend Breakwater if you're in the area, although I'd check to see in advance if they'll have time for an appointment as they stay busy!"

"I’ve had 7 pieces done by Tan and love every single one of them. Justin, Tan, and the rest of the staff are the perfect balance of friendly and professional. The studio itself is spotless and cozy, can’t recommend highly enough!"
