Flagship Tattoo

I got my arm piece done by TJ. He is awesome! I had some more I wanted done, but we moved out of the desert to the Bay. It will be hard to replace him. Thank so much !!

Great ace! Professional and very fair priced! Tj has done a lot of my tattoos including a tattoo that he revamped when I got when I was 18. He is a great eye for art.

This is by far the best tattoo shop! I have a full rib piece and one full leg sleeve and working on my other leg. All done by TJ. I constantly get stopped on the streets asking where I get my work done and asking for photos of my art. The colors have not faded (and it’s been some years since they’ve been done) and are still extremely vibrant like they have just been done. They are always extremely polite and professional to everyone who walks in. This is a busy shop and they are constantly booked and everyone puts out amazing work.

The art was really great but the professionalism was way off. I went for 2 sessions, paid for 1. The first session took over an hour to get started, but I felt that was alright due to the fact the man doing the tattoo was the only one there that day and I wasn’t going to tell him to ignore potential clients.
Now the second session is where I had problems. Same with the first session it took him over an hour to get started. While he was putting my stencil on, which he did struggle with a bit, one of his friends came in to chat. He literally walked away from me to talk to his friend for 15 minutes. If he would have worked WHILE talking i wouldnt have cared. finally he came back and correctly placed the stencil. When I went to look at it, I noticed none of the background was there. The entire point of the appointment, which i scheduled and planned with him so he understood i wanted to complete the image. Now all of a sudden he just doesn’t have time (what he told me when I asked about the missing background twice).
Then he needed a cig break, as if he had done any real work yet. He then proceeded to spend another 15 – 20 min outside talking to his friend about his new bike. When he decided he was finally ready to get started I was already fed up. I tried to get his attention twice but he was so involved in his friend he ignored me completely. We had to literally yell at him to acknowledge me, in return he just looked at us (me and my sister) like we were dumb and just said OK. I ended up walking out before he even started.
It became clear he was not interested in my tattoo or me as a client and was trying to stretch it into as many sessions as he could get out of me. The sad part is I do believe this was the owner of the place.

I’ve gotten 3 tattoos and every time I’ve be highly satisfied. I’ll never go to another shop

My fiancée has got all his tattoos from flag ship
I love this place friendly clean great environment. And I have starting getting my tattoos done here now! Had my session and loved the outcome of my diamonds the looked realist and TJ made sure we are happy with our tattoos about to set up my next one!

I have yet to get a tattoo from this shop, but after seeing their work and the creative process they take in making their work would not hesitate to get it done here! Especially since my previous tattoos have been done out of state haha
They’re located off Hwy 111 and you can park out front. They have tattoo sketches all over and the normal tattoo books if past work on the desk. Plus the artists are all tatted up themselves, which is always refreshing to see haha they have a small restroom and a mirror to check out your new pieces or placing of the outlines.
My brother has been coming here for a good minute to satisfy his addiction haha all his tattoos have came out clean and exactly what he wanted. The artists here make sure that your tattoo pops and grabs everyone’s attention in the vicinity. A friend of mine has had a half sleeve and described what she wanted, but also open to suggestions too. The outline didn’t seem like it would come out good, but after he was finished tattooing it… it was a sick looking piece! The colors came at you and the detail was tremendous! The artist really put his effort into it and came out with great results!
Overall 5 stars because they’re a clean establishment and give that tattoo shop vibe upon entry. I would recommend this tattoo shop, along with artists TJ and Cody!

First time in the shop and I’d say this is a success. Cody did two hamsas on opposite arms and the placement and line work are great, very well done. He’s not a super chatty dude, which I can appreciate, but he was great at listening to my vision and adjusting to it. Worth every penny.

I’ve gotten three tattoos here so far, two by TJ and one by Wane-​Kan. They’re both really good artists and are overall cool guys. As long as I live in the desert I will keep coming here to get tattoos.

Went in to get a little quote on my wrist, nothing hardcore. Cody was the only one in the shop and luckily no one else was in there getting a tattoo. So I didn’t have to wait. Shop min is $ 80. I wouldn’t say that Cody has no personality, he’s just introverted. Which doesn’t mean he isn’t outgoing people, just means he doesn’t need to yap your ear off. He was really nice, and I loved his his work. Even though it was nothing compared to some of the stuff I’ve seen him do. I get personality is nice to have, but sometimes people get so wound up on the energy of a person, they neglect to look at the actual work. Being outgoing and talkative doesn’t mean you’re going to have banging art work. I would definitely return and have Cody do another piece on me. Shop was very clean, and I felt comfortable that Cody wasn’t going to fudge up my wrist. Easy going guy which I think made me more relaxed. Didn’t put his opinion in much unless it had to do with positioning.

I showed Cory what i wanted and thats what I got. He did a great Job. Im glad i came to this shop.

Wane is a true artist. Took his TIME to make sure placement was correct for both of the tattoos I got. Placed and replaced the stencils until everything was perfect. His steadier-​than-​steady hand, professional demeanor, artistic eye and inherent talent are a boon to this shop. I’ll definitely be back for more and couldn’t recommend him more highly,

I’m relatively new to the desert and decided once I got out here that I wanted to take the plunge on finally getting a tattoo. Very glad that I was able to discover Flagship!
As soon as I walked in off the street, their artist Wane was there to greet me and ask what I was looking into getting. I explained to him my initial idea and how I was new to this whole tattoo thing. He was super cool about it and walked me through the whole sketch deposit process.
Fast forward a few weeks later to Wane coming up with a crazy awesome sketch and us finalizing a date and time to get inked. We knocked it out over about 3 hours on a Saturday. The entire time we had a great casual conversation that made the constant dull pain of the tattooing process way more bearable. Once we had wrapped things up he didn’t rush me out the door and instead took the time to walk me through the process of taking care of my tattoo while it was healing. Very informative and greatly appreciated.
All in all, Wane provided high quality work at an affordable price. My experience at Flagship was a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ thanks to him and I’m already making plans for a new piece that I want done there!
Bottom line: Check out Flagship and schedule an appointment with Wane. I heard TJ and Cody are exceptional as well. So you really can’t go wrong with any of them!

TJ was great, got us in. He was a perfectionist with my tattoo, making sure I was totally happy before getting started. On top of all that, he’s a funny guy :)

TJ was great. My sister and I got matching tattoos. He worked hard to make sure we got just what we wanted! Thanks TJ!

Wane, Cody and TJ are three of the best tattoo artists in the desert! I have had several tattoos from each one of these guys and it has been an excellent experience every time. VERY, clean, professional, talented and approachable. Wane and Cody are exceptional at american traditional. Wane also specializes in Japanese style designs as well. TJ has re-​worked some shitty old tattoos I had done years ago and is a wiz at portrait and photo realism. I just can’t say enough good things about these guys. If you are looking to get tattooed in the coachella valley there is no question about it, Flagship Tattoo all the way.

Go for the excellent artist Wane Kan. I contacted him a day before and explained to him what I was looking to design, right away he had came up with my design. I had a few adjustments that he easily understood and designed quickly. He was professional and did a beautiful job on my first tattoo! If you want to get a tattoo, I would definitely recommend Wane Kan at Flagship Tattoo. I totally trusted his input on where it would be placed and he really cares about the client! Check out his artwork at

I was on a girls trip… Unilocaled it, went in and Cody was my guy. Talked to him about what I thought I should get and he said that it wouldn’t look good. So after some searching I found what I wanted. Very happy customer

I love this tattoo shop. I have gotten my last 3 tattoos from Cody. It is always a very cool and mellow experience. I would highly recommend this shop.

Before you go anywhere else, check this place out. TJ worked with me through the whole thing, I went in 3 different times, first to get a quote and set the appt, then he told me to come in again to work the sketch out that way we both knew exactly what we were doing, (I thought that was pretty cool) then of course the 3^rd time in was getting the actual tattoo done. I was nervous cause I was getting it on my ribs & I heard it hurt a lot, which IT DID. But I got through it, he made me feel comfortable & it came out better then I pictured in my head. I’ve been recommending TJ since I walked out the door and will continue to.
TJ has 13 years experience, his work is solid and clean.
