8th Element Tattoo 8756 Warner Avenue, Fountain Valley, CA 92708

"Frank Tran is an unbelievable tattoo artist as well as a great artist. He can take any picture and make it a masterpiece before creating the tattoo. My wife and I have both received tattoos from him. They both have work in progress tattoos. He has won so many awards, I felt privileged to have him do ours. Thank you Frank."

"The 8th Element shop, led by the exceptional artist Frank, is a standout in every way. Frank's dedication to his craft and commitment to hygiene and precision are evident. The shop provides a royal treatment, offering comfort, drinks, and snacks. Frank's expertise is trusted by both me and my daughter for piercings and tattoos. The shop's cleanliness and attention to detail are impressive, including strict adherence to safety for minors. The quality of their work is outstanding, and the friendly atmosphere enhances the overall experience. Highly recommended for top-notch tattoos and piercings."

"This shop is probably the best I've ever been to. Everything is professional and transparent; you will know how much you can expect to pay from the get go. Everything gets documented so there are no surprises. Frank is an amazing artist and you will absolutely get what you pay for. Hes professional and fun to talk to while he rams needles into your skin 200 times a second. I've never had work done by Alex or Shelby, but they are great people as well, and everything I've seen them do has been top quality. I would definitely consider getting work done by them as well. I really can't recommend this shop enough. Source: I've spent about 40 hours on the table with Frank."

"I got a tattoo 5 months ago by ARTBYDRAPER. The tattoo is now fading in multiple places, and blown out really bad in the densely packed lines. It might be hard to tell in the photo, but many of the lines are fading away. Not only that, almost none of the lines are straight, many are jagged. During the appointment, he spoke about how he couldn't wait to get home, and the appointment felt incredibly rushed. The appointment was less than an hour, and I was charged $800 dollars for this tattoo. He offered to touch it up, but who would go back to an artist who rushed the initial appointment which resulted in low quality art. I was under the impression his designs were hand drawn. That is incorrect, they are digitally generated, which I found out after the appointment by watching his Instagram stories. I cannot in good conscious recommend this artist. Please think twice before having something tattooed on you permanently."

"I went in for my first tattoo about a month ago and had a great experience with Frank! He did an amazing job and was super patient when I was figuring out what font I wanted. I went in for a consultation recently for my second tattoo that have really wanted for a while and had a less than good experience with one of his apprentices. He made me feel a little uncomfortable and made me second guess what I wanted just because of how negative he was. He also gave me a much higher price quote then when Frank came to do the drawing and he gave me a much lower quote. I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t have all the details ironed out or what the issue was. I guess it was just some miscommunication. I still booked the appointment and paid the deposit because I appreciate and enjoy Frank and his talent. All in all a great shop 10/10 recommend."
