Emelio is the most laid back guy ever, made an actual attempt to engage conversation and made the process from idea, sketch, layout, and ink very straight forward. Good pricing and straight lines, very happy. Will be back

I had such an excellent experience at Inkyard Tattoo, with the owner/proprietor, Emilio, or Emo, as hes known. Totally chill guy and shop. He was so accommodating, fitting me in that day. I ended up having to postpone the appt until the next day. It was no problem for him. Couldnt be happier with his work! Not to mention the fact that hell do what he can to work within your budget. Awesome tattooist and fair prices. THE place to go in Laguna... Thanks, Emo!

I started researching tattoo shops in Laguna Beach in November of 13. I knew that I wanted a complicated piece that would take a lot of time and money so I wanted to find the right shop and the right artist to do the work.

Walked into the Inkyard tattoo shop. Emo was very nice greeted me took in my request for 2 micro finger tattoos. Made me feel comfortable and showed me the new packaged needle that he was going to use on me. Im extremely happy with his work. Want more ink done by him. Hes very talented his work is spot on.

I have been going to emo for years and he always gives the best prices and does super clean work.

All my tatts are by Emo

Ive been going to Emo for years and i wouldnt trust anyone else to do my tattoos honestly. He pays attention to detail. You can bring him your own sketch, show him a pic on google, or have him be creative with your own ideas and he will create a beautiful masterpiece!! He can do cover ups, black or color just as well, and is 100% honest on his opinion. Hes been tattooing for almost his whole life and knows what hes doing. Call him and give him a try, you wont regret it!

I got my first tattoo here. The owner was so friendly and we came with our request and he made it at the same day without appointment.

Chill staff and skilled art. Left the shop overly satisfied with my work

My sister & I wanted to get tattoos. They didnt tell us it was cash only or that they werent closing soon . It was a HUGE waste of time. Honestly, dont waste your time. Go to a better shop!!!

The staff is great. Emo has done my last 4 pieces and i love each one more than the next one. My next piece will the same!

Emo was great! so glad i was able to get in on my visit to newport

Awesome staff. Conveniently located on the boardwalk

Worst tattoo artist and so lazy and slow. Never going here again!!!
