Gold Rush Tattoo,

1775 Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa, CA 92627

"Gold Rush was great! The people were nice, the artists really listened, and their hours are super convenient. I was in SoCal for just a week’s vacation and my guy worked me in twice!"

"Got my first real (machine) tattoo here and I'm in love. Came in as a walk-in today (Friday) and they were able to get me in on the spot. Super friendly and welcoming atmosphere and the woman who helped me at the front was very knowledgeable and helpful. My artist was @onelungjustin and he made the entire experience as painless as a tattoo can be. Incredibly professional, great attitude, and an even better artist. He talked me through the whole process ahead of time and made sure I knew exactly what I was getting before getting to work. Felt super comfortable and relaxed the entire time and the end result is amazing. Highly recommend this place and will be back very soon."

"Did an awesome job! This was my first “real tattoo” and I couldn’t be happier! Highly recommended for sure!"

"Pass by shop every day so decided to check it out and see if I can add another spot to my collection. I describe what I wanted and the receptionist goes back and forth and tells me the price will be $150! I was shocked and I asked again if she said $150 and she confirmed and that I had to put a deposit towards it to book my appointment and to note that if I miss it and/or not call to advise I am arriving little late I will forfeit it. I am cool with that and wait for the day. I get there, the guy that does the tattoo seems chill and gets to work. A lot of beautiful pain to get something I wish I had the balls to do in my early years. After the job was done I was ready to pay but he gives me a different number. He comes to $375!!!! I was not happy and struggled a bit but just decided to just pay (since I didn't bring the paper that said the price I basically screwed myself there or else I could get arrested. I liked the artwork but not for that price. This is why I asked. Lesson of the story, take a picture of the quote you were given and when your appointment comes, double check the price that you agreed. If they come back saying differently, dispute it and don't be afraid to stand your ground. You can say no that's not what you agreed and they may threaten that you'll lose your deposit but you have documentation that the price was quoted differently (Hate being a Karen/Kevin but video record the conversation and have them repeat the new price they are giving you and take them to court. I know I should have done these steps but my phone was dead by middle of job, I didn't have my paperwork and I was not expecting to be ripped off in the last minute so hope that this works as a PSA."

"Marc gave us our matching tattoos when we came to visit for our anniversary trip! He worked with us and very patient and his work was amazing,very happy with the finished look!"
