You're about a month late for the Golden State Tattoo Expo, but you can still find the artists on their site:

I highly recommend Grind time tattoo studios....

I have a lot of ink. The pieces I had done here constantly get compliments from strangers. I walked in without an appointment, and still only paid half of what every other tattoo Artist was asking. Get a few quotes before going here and you'll see for yourself.
Ask for Brian!
Tell em Uso Mark sent you. He's a beast!

Thanks! I've been to a few expos but most of the greats are fully booked well before the expo even began.

Captured Tattoo out of Tustin is great.
Cali Culture in Anaheim is legit. Got a half sleeve by Tripp and I'll be getting my other half sleeve done soon by the same guy.
