Eye Of Jade

I had a simple tattoo of Roman numerals done by Jeremy and it was such an amazing experience from start to finish. Extremely professional and kind. For about 40 minutes we figured out exactly what I wanted and where I wanted it placed. Tattoo went smoothly and it was a beautiful process. Cannot wait to get another piece done by him! His line work is phenomenal

I had a great experience here. My artist was Bobby and he did an amazing job of making my image into beautiful artwork that has great meaning to me. He has a nice touch and takes pride in his art. Everyone in the shop made me feel comfortable and handled everything in a professional manner.

Jeremy does great work. He was great in creating an original design, reasonably priced and I enjoyed the experience. Some friends came to town and mentioned they were looking for some «new ink.» We headed down and he took them right away.
Great place in town. Clean shop, plenty of options. Very happy. Whether its your first tattoo, your next tattoo or a touch up to what you already have, stop in.

Eye of Jade is the premier tattoo studio in Chico/​Paradise. I have been tattooed by two artists at the shop (Ben and Chris) and am currently working on a full sleeve with Ben. My wife has a full sleeve and back piece done by Max Kilbourne. All of the artists are phenomenal, professional, and masters of their craft.
If you are looking for the best tattoo shop and artists in the area, look no further. I have had an incredible experience with this shop and have recommended my friends and family to numerous artists at this shop. The shop is clean and every artist is great… there is a reason their walls are littered with awards. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I will never go anywhere ever again. This is hands down the best shop. I have been tattooed by almost everyone in the shop. I will always take new people to get tattoos here and will always refer people to everyone at the shop. I have never had a bad tattoo. I see people complaining about how nobody greets you right when you walk in, it’s a tattoo shop. They are busy on a piece of at work. Maybe they didn’t notice you. Say something when you get to the front counter, SPEEK UP! Every time I go here I say hi right when I get to the counter and they usually say someone will be right with you. I love the work I have gotten here, I love the people who work here, and I will always come to eye of jade. So glad I found this shop!

My wife and I found Eye of Jade while on vacation from Alaska. Ben is finishing the full sleeve on my right arm and has started a full sleeve on my wife. This is truly a professional shop with engaged and talented artists. We both plan to continue traveling to Chico to have our work done at Eye of Jade.

I went to eye of jade to get my first tattoo. Bobby was my tattoo artest, he is amazing. He took my idea and changed it, making it 10 times better. His line work is flawless and he makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. I have now gotten three from him and I will continue to get tattoos from him.

Very professional! My backpiece will be featured in the some of the top tattoo magazines across the country. Ben Lucas is a #1 world renowned tattoo artist with years of expertise. Highly recommended!

I had my first tattoo at Eye of Jade in Paradise. I have to say that it was a great experience. Chad Nicely was the artist that did my tattoo and he was great. He did it EXACTLY the way I had it pictured in my mind. I would recommend Chad and Eye of Jade highly to anyone.

Bobby is the man! He took my idea, listening to what I WASN’T saying (how very much my mom liked hummingbirds, how I wanted it to be different than typical tatts etc) and gave me the best tatt of all the 20 I have. I have never had a tatt that has gotten so much positive feedback! I like the vibe and will go back! I highly recommend EoJ for the artists.

I have many friends that have great shops and do great ink so it’s hard for me to bust everyone out and say that Ben at Eye Of Jade is the absolute best! He is a great artist who values his craft and studies the traditions and also cutting edge methods of his trade. He has created a clean professional studio from the ground up through hard work, he is in fact one of the hardest working people I’ve ever known. I’ve been proud to watch his studio and portfolio grow and everyone I know who has had work done has been very very satisfied with their work. Eye Of Jade employs only the best artists and unlike many local parlors, Eye Of Jade makes everyone feel welcome. There is a reason this business continues to grow and expand, it is due to great artists and hard work, dedication and a very clean professional environment. The Best!

Jim re-​pierced my surgically closed lobes and he did such an awesome job! Very precise in the hole placement, helped me relax (I’m pretty chicken!), and was super nice! I totally recommend Eye of Jade!

Okay, so it’s been quite some time since I had my experience here, and seeing how the owner likes to reply to negative reviews I haven’t posted my review on here just because I don’t like drama at all, and I actually would hope to come back here some day.
The thing that made my visit here so horrible was the fact that, even though I was not getting the tattoo done (my boyfriend was) all three of the artists (including the owner) were so painfully rude and arrogant towards us that we never even went back for touch ups on the tattoo he got. The only nice one there was the apprentice whose name I forget. They were extremely belittling, the artist who did my boyfriend’s work barely said anything the whole time we were there, literally said «Well, you just ruined your life» when the tattoo was finished, and the owner looked at it and said «Good luck trying to find a job.» and that was it. I was taken aback by their attitudes the whole time we were there. I mean… I have never been treated that way ANYwhere.
All over a stupid hand tattoo.
The price was not bad but i would never pay anything to go here and be treated this way again, even if the owner does amazing work and now that they have their new artist Jacki (sp?) I would really love to go back, but again the way we were treated was so unbelievably ridiculous and rude I don’t know if I could ever come back here. Which sucks because everyone else seems to have great experiences here and that’s what we were hoping for. :/

Clean shop, professional, personable, pretty much what I wanted when going to a tattoo shop. If I’m looking to get another tattoo I’d go back here and I’d also recommend to others.

Didn’t like this place or the experience at all. For starters, the people are unprofessional, rude, and are not interesting in helping you at all. The guy tried to talk me out of getting my tatoo (which is a tiny simple painter’s pallette about the size of a garbonzo bean. He was rude the whole time, and wouldn’t answer questions. The tattoo turned out shitty and it was over priced. DON’T go here

Haven’t been to eoj yet, but Ben tattooed me at a different shop years ago and I couldn’t be happier. I’m looking forward to future pieces. Don’t hesitate to get tattooed by him.

Jeremy did such a great job! My first tattoo so I was nervous but with his chill personality made me more comfortable. Not to mention he did such a greatt job on my side piece! The shop is very professional and all the artists are very welcoming and played great music also haha. I would recommend this shop to anybody.

Amazing! The service and skills of this place are great. I got my belly button pierced and the guy was very comforting even though I was freaking out. My friend got her foot tattooed and the guy did it in about 15 minutes and it looks perfect! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Jim did a great job! I have had my ear re-​pierced twice before and each time they were uneven or messed up.
Jim did a great job. he was able to work with my scar tissue, make ear holes even and straight.

If you have an opinion about your tattoos. Don’t go to Ben at Eye of Jade Tattoo. He did things that were totally obnoxious! The first thing that he did was tattoo a stem of a lotus flower when it wasn’t there before (in the outline that was actually tattooed on). I asked him to complete a tattoo because I didn’t like the negative space and he said no. I said I don’t want negative space and he said «Yes, you do.» He then made my Ganesh (elephant ears) pink on the inside when the rest of his ears were blue. I asked him to please make them blue and he refused. They don’t even look like ears. I have to go somewhere else to complete my tattoo. Ben is pushy, arrogant and rude. I will NOT go back. I actually asked for some of my money back since I prepaid and left in the middle of the tattoo. What a nightmare!
UPDATE: In regards to Ben’s comment on 7÷10÷13. Ben I like this comment better than the last one where you called me a «failed lesbian» and for me to «Die!» You’re a rude person. If your «breaking up» with me means me walking out of the session because I didn’t want you to tattoo me anymore and you giving me $ 100 back from my rather large deposit then so be it. I had to spend $ 600 going over the tattoo you gave me, but what does my one rating say? You have plenty of good reviews. You just aren’t going to get one from me.
