Altered Flesh Tattoo

Thanks Ray for the great art work on my tattoo for remembering my dad. I brought the idea to you and you delivered 100% and allowed me to even make adjustments, you are super humble and a genuine artist. Thanks for all that you did…

Tried this tattoo parlor for the first time. Ray set up an appointment with me and he was able to get me in a good time. We talked about what I wanted. He was a very humble and down to earth man.
Ray did an amzing job on my tattoo. Crisp line work, shadowing, blends of colors, and the detail work was beautiful and everything about it is great. No cons or negatives about this piece of art. Through the process we talked and he had a good sense of humor and he was very knowledgeable about tattoos and the healing processes. He even debunked what I was told was the best way to heal a tattoo. I’m glad Ray is local and here in SCV. Will be coming back for future work. Highly satisfied.

Got my first ever tattoo from Ray. He was kind, considerate and professional. Made what seemed like a monumental thing in my life very easy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend!

This place is awesome! I got my nose pierced today, and everything went smoothly. ($ 40 + $ 10 to upgrade to the nose ring I wanted, so $ 50 in total). Everyone there was great, easy to get a long with, and my friend and I had a great time! (We also were walk-​ins on a Saturday afternoon, and were able to be seen right away, which was awesome!)
Rachel was very knowledgeable about everything that had to do with my piercing, and answered all my questions, making sure I was okay, and knew how to treat it in the after-​care. It didn’t take very long, I had fun, and overall, it was a very good experience! :)

Joe is the best piercer ever! The shop is super clean and nice. Joe is extremely professional and thorough, also super friendly and funny. My friend and I both went in not positive about what we wanted, and he was so helpful– answered all of our questions, and we both walked away happy. Also he’s a babe.

This place is awesome! Very clean, inviting, and friendly. I had my belly button pierced by Joe and he was great… he has a wonderful bedside manner (I was really nervous) and is very skilled. I am very happy with my piercing and I would go back to him for any other piercings. I highly recommend Altered Flesh!

Ray is absolutely the best! He created my idea, gave me exactly what I wanted, and covered up an old tattoo completely. His work is so great that you can’t even tell there is another tattoo underneath. I highly recommend this place. He is humorous yet humble, and his work is very professional. He only uses the best products to produce the best tattoos. The place is very clean and he is organized. I would never go anywhere else!!!

i am not going back to Altered Flesh. I had a small tattoo done by him about 4 years or so ago and went back recently for a 2^nd one. this one was meaningful and Ray was not only unhelpful with the design, he was pompous about his ability. he should have helped me and made me feel stupid for coming in with out it perfectly decided on. he was very inconsiderate of my time, stopping with me SEVERAL times to talk to people that walked in. as i sat in the chair! i felt he rushed through it and I’m very unhappy. he told me he thought it was perfect but if i felt it needed more to come back. SERIOUSLY? what was supposed to be a moon and I’ve been asked if i have a banana tattoo. NOT COOL.

Ray has done 6 tattoos of mine, easily the best around… great guy with competitive pricing… working on a sleeve now and cant wait for my next appointment.

THE place to go in Santa Clarita for a tattoo. Prices are realistic, unlike the other places around. Definitely a patient and talented man!!! HIGHLY Recommended!

My review is way overdue … … Ray is great!!! Tattooed both my husband and I !! Very clean place — Ray was patient and he is very talented :)

Ray is THE BEST! I have referred many friends to Ray and they all walk out very happy. He is truly an artist and I would not go anywhere else. Make sure you check out his filtered reviews on here as well.
Tattoos are sooooo addicting!

I went in to get my lip pierced by Simon and lets just say AMAZING! He kept me in the loop of everything that was going on. He was so friendly and made the expierence enjoyable. The next day I found out I had to change the ring. Simon went out of his way to help me find a location that sold the size and type of ring that i needed on his day off! He really took the word «customer service» to a whole new level! I will definetely be referring him to everyone i know!

The blonde/​grey haired old man with the lip piercing and the woman with the glasses were extremely rude and very expensive. They WONT pierce minors with parental consent because they don’t want to pay extra insurance. They act like assholes and they act like they are the most best piercers ever .
I went in last year asking about snakebites, after a short conversation, I said alright I will be back, and as I was leaving, he said «Okay, yeah bye, stupid». Stupid? Are you kidding me? Obviously I didnt go back that day.
I hear from many of my friends who experience them being rude, and they are NOT getting my money for just a satisfactory job when they act like that. They act like rude bratty 13 year olds.
DO NOT go to this place.

I’ve sat in Raymond’s tattoo chair 3 times, and am very pleased with each tattoo that I’ve received. I got my first tattoo at this shop. Raymond is very patient, and courteous. He goes over what to expect when getting your first tattoo, and is thorough when it comes to placement of the art. I got my first tattoo in 2006, and it hasn’t faded at all. The following tats still look good as well. He is priced very competitively, considering the quality of work you end up.
During the tattoo, he usually puts on a movie which is a clutch move. Personally, I don’t really feel like chatting it up while the artist is hitting my skin with the needle. The movie helps shift my attention. Getting tattoos obviously doesn’t feel like rolling around on a cloud, but it’s not death either. You don’t have to see Kat Von D for a quality tattoo.

I wrote a review a while ago, but I guess it didn’t post!
Anyways, I went here to get my second piercing in my nose and my friend’s nose pierced. The service was amazing, and I don’t see myself going anywhere else for my other piercings. The prices are much more affordable than other places.
The piercer, Simon, made me feel unbelievably comfortable. His knowledge was outstanding and I feel comfortable to go in with any questions.

I came here for my first tattoo, and Ray was absolutely the perfect choice. I was really nervous — I was mostly scared that it would hurt so much that it would cause me to move and mess up the tattoo. Ray gave me a stress ball to squeeze and calmed me down, and when he did the tattoo it barely hurt at all! He’s been doing tattoos for over 20 years, so he said he’s had plenty of practice having a lighter touch. About halfway through the tattoo, it hurt so little that I remember thinking that I could easily sit there for hours if I had to. Of course the tattoo itself is beautiful, exactly what my sister and I (we got matching ones) wanted. When I finally get a good idea for a way to expand on this tattoo, I will definitely be coming to Ray!

Recently went and got a new tattoo and decided I needed to get my sad little tattoo (from quite a few years ago), redone. Can’t have old ink when the new one looks so nice! I wanted to stay local this time and support business in our community. I asked around and after seeing some great tattoos, one name kept popping up-​Ray at Altered Flesh. This shop ROCKS! Ray was very easy to get ahold of and responded promptly to my emails. He managed to work around my hours even though he is booked pretty far in advance. Ray is a true artist. Since I was doing a redo-​I really wanted to leave it up to him to suggest some options. He free-​handed my design and it was so nice, I had no desire to change it up.
Ray’s shop is clean, convenient to get to, has easy parking and is comfortable. Ray really understands his craft and takes great care in sanitizing his equipment and not cross contaminating. Trust me, just wearing rubber gloves is not enough folks! His personality is professional and friendly. Very important if you are getting a tat in a more private area of your body.
My husband was so pleased with my tattoo that he is setting an appt with Ray to get his done! I highly recommend this shop!
