This is a sleeve I've been working on for a client from Garberville. I was given the pretext of having daisies, petunias, a butterfly and a hummingbird and allowed some artistic freedom to design the tattoo. I'm excited with how it's coming out. I've been working for years on perfecting vines like these.

Don't waste your money. I can't say for how the artwork is, but I wasted $100 deposit for a neck tattoo. I changed my mind on that, and asked if I could put that to finishing another piece I have. Ok, another artist started that piece. But like I'm not contractually obligated to that neck tattoo. And the dude didn't even do a sketch of that. But....when I was hesitant on the idea of an artist I never worked with tattooing my neck, I had second thoughts. But when I was mulling it over and trying to mention I'd rather have some work already done to be filled in, Galen just

We called last minute for a two-fer tattoo. Not detailed and small. Fly by tattoos are never best case scenario. I enjoyed the ambience of the shop, the artists were super chill. A little heavy handed as it appeared it was not a super seasoned artist. Still quite pleased with the outcome, the price was steep. It’s also in old town Eureka so the price while steep is what I would expect for downtown artists. 7/10 recommend.

Had my very first tattoo here and I couldn't be happier with my choice! I was very nervous and scared going in (I was quite afraid of the idea, but wanted to overcome that fear as well as get something I really wanted on my body), but both Shane and Galon made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Their artwork is fantastic and you can tell they genuinely care about what they are doing. They are easy to talk to, friendly, and very professional. Would recommend this place to anyone who brings up getting a tattoo, and I am definitely planning on getting more in the future from Galon.

He suggested I use knumbing cream, so my next appointment I put it on and I was more comfortable. We listened to old 90's music and I relaxed the whole time while he tattood. I Really appreciate him re shading an old tattoo, some shops won't. I need so much work to get done and he seemed stoked about it :) looking forward to scheduling an appointment with him again as soon as I'm ready to start. P.s. I want all my roses purple. And recolor as many other tattoos on my arm purple to match.

Great spot to go for all types of pieces! i walked in with an idea about matching beet tattoos and the next day he had it all sketched and ready to go. Its been about two weeks and I've got to say its healed up incredibly well and looks even better. Galen earns his respect by doing quality work, while creating a great environment. It was my lady friend's first tattoo and he treated her great. As for myself, i can only give him praise because of how satisfied i am with my newest tattoo!

Was trying a different tattoo shop since I'd been going to another since I've been living here for 4 1/2 Years, and wanted to try a new place. Galen was super friendly, worked with my ideas to find something that a really wanted (kind of important, since it went on my face) and it's probably one of my favorite and most meaningful tattoos to date. Great pricing and amazing line work. 12/10 will be coming back.

Can't say enough good things about Galin. Was passing through on a road trip and he worked around our schedule. I wanted to go with him specifically because of his ability to create clean lines and clean designs. It's been ten years since my last tattoo, I've never wanted to pick a piece of flash art off the wall and slap it on with mediocre accuracy and disregard for how it will look long term. My wife came up with the concept and Galin took the time to create an original piece from ideas my wife had gathered. If your looking for something original and well executed look no farther

My sister and I are on a road trip on the coast and decided we wanted a tattoo to remember the trip by. We looked at all of the different tattoo shop names and figured this sounded the coolest. The shop is easy to get to and has easy parking outside. The inside is very clean and neat.
Galen was a very chill guy and worked with what we wanted. We both love the tattoos we got.... Definitely stop in and see this guy if you're around!!

My friend and I both booked appointments and went in on the same day one after another. Galen was great with both of us. My friend is a foreign exchange student so she was a bit nervous getting her first tattoo in America but the experience was fabulous. He worked with both of us to get exactly what we wanted. I got a lotus flower on my ribs after going through a difficult transition in my life so I wanted to make sure it was done perfectly and he delivered! He was welcoming and made me feel at ease even when it hurt a bit. My friend got a feather on her wrist and loved it as well! I will be coming

Definitely miss Bohemian tattoo being closer to me! Started out finding Galen for my son's memorial tattoo to honor his friend. I was so impressed by him that I got several more pieces and recommended him to friends that got work done too. Next I had him spiff up some older tattoos of mine and he did an excellent job. Maybe he'll put in an appearance down here soon, if not I'm gonna have to find a way to get up to Fortuna, he's worth it.

I am thrilled with my first tattoo of a beautiful redwood tree on my back. I'd been thinking about one for a while, but on a recent camping trip among the trees, I thought it would be appropriate to have someone local do it. Luckily Galen was available. Thank you, Galen, for taking me as a walk-in. You are very talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with. The shop is a clean, welcoming environment. I hope to come back for more work in the future.

Went to Galen to fix a failed tattoo attempt by another local artist. Galen was understanding and helpful with his ideas for how to fix it, and he not only salvaged it, but it turned out way better than I had hoped. Amazing talent. I only wish I had gone to him in the first place. He made me very happy today, and I'm definitely going back for more :)

I had called late on a Friday night and it so happened that Galen( the owner ) was just drawing and hadn't had any clients lined up. I had seen his shop during the day and quicky looked him up. Privately owned, family man, passionate artists. Everything that a client could care to ask for in a tattoo artist. I walked in 10 minutes later, had a quick chat and I was in and out of the chair in no time. Be sure to ask about the minimum, it is privately owned afterall.
Shop is clean, equipment is clean, saw the autoclave in the back, everything checked out. Couldn't be more pleased.

I want to start off by pointing out the fact that everyone that is complaining about the prices should understand that you get what you pay for. I had my chest piece done by Galen. I was greatly pleased with his artistic ability and really enjoyed the upbeat atmosphere. He is now working on my first sleeve and I have nothing but good things to say about this experience as well. I highly doubt I will go anywhere else to get art done. I highly recommend him if you want great art done that will surely be noticed and envied by others.

Galen is the bomb.com! I heard about him from a good friend of mine and I am so thankful that i had the pleasure of him tattooing me! He's so passionate about his work and makes sure makes his artwork is perfect. He's very artistic, professional and made me feel very comfortable! I would highly recommend him if you are interested in getting a masterpiece on your human canvas! I can't wait to get my next one!!

Galen is a really great artist. I have had him do 3 tattoos for me up tot his point, 2 of which have been extremely detailed and one of the even 3D. He's done such a great job on the 3D that people constantly stop me to ask if they can touch it, where I got it done, etc. He's also really great about helping you turn your idea into a reality. I have recommended him many times and I definitely recommend him to you now.
