Mikey V. Super kind and creative. He was able to deliver exactly what I wanted. He took the elements that I brought in and elevated them by incorporating his expertise to give me a piece that surpassed my expectations. This is my 2nd piece done by him and the experience has been well worth it. Everyone in the shop is kind and super talented. I have dark skin and he was able to give me color that worked well with my skin.

Best tats in Cali. Ritual pagan tats are rare, but you can get them here. I have been going here for 5 years. 2 full sleeves, 2 chest tats, and a neck tat later, they are the best. MIKEY AND JOY 4 LIFE.

My wife, son, daughter and I all got tattoos at Paper Crane while on vacation in Long Beach. I can't say enough about the talent and professionalism of Ruben and Mikey. They are both highly skilled in their craft. The follow up email to check on our satisfaction with their work impressed me all the more.

Mikey did a fabulous tattoo on my arm...he's a very nice Guy that cares about his customers..I love the bunny tattoo, it is so awesome...also it heals so fast... The studio is very clean and the people who work there are all very kind and it is a very great atmosphere. I would for sure come back and get another tattoo when I am back in Long Beach one day! Thank you Mikey!!!

Great experience! Mikey is extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. He took his time and we bounced ideas off each other until we came up with the perfect design. Also had great conversations along the way. The other artists are very nice too! The shop is welcoming and has a cool vibe & atmosphere. I would recommend Paper Crane to anyone looking to get an awesome tattoo!
