Bad Influence Tattoo - Fountain Valley, California

Kirk Miller

My wife and I had an idea for a unique couples tattoo for our anniversary based on an in-joke from an online comic strip. When researching tattoo shops near us, we came across Bad Influence and were not disappointed. Bob Nguyen, the owner, responded quickly to my inquiry and was super accommodating with the reference images we sent in and we made an appointment.

The day of, we came into the shop where artist Phuong showed us the mock-up of the tattoos and helped us figure out placing. We wanted the tattoos to line up while we held hands and with Phuong and our other artist, Bobby's, help we figured out the perfect placement.

Bobby worked on my wife's tattoo while Phuong did mine. They were very professional and worked quickly but not by sacrificing quality. The tattoos turned out great and we immediately loved them. We did discover when we got home that, because of some adjustments needed during the actual tattooing, a small part of my wife's tattoo that should have mirrored mine was off (our fault for not noticing). However, Bobby was super great at responding when we reached back out and we made an appointment for a small touch up to better align the tattoos. We just had this appointment (after waiting for the original tattoos to heal) and it was a quick fix without issue.

Our entire experience was great and the artists at Bad Influence were amazing and so friendly and welcoming. When either my wife or I are ready for another tattoo, we will definitely be going back to Bad Influence. We cannot recommend them enough.

I’ve been to two other places aside from bad influence and all I can say is the atmosphere that you get at bad influence is the best. They make you feel welcomed that makes you want to come back. Their work there is amazing. The whole staff is amazing, Bob, Chey, Valerie, Leandra, and everyone else. You won’t regret it.

Viet was super nice and cool. I got my 1st tattoo and he made sure I was comfortable and relaxed the whole time. He spent so much time showing me on the iPad how it will look and it came out perfect

Wanted to get a 2nd & 3rd Tattoo on my birthday. This place was referred from a friend, and I'm so glad they had the availability to schedule me the same day. Which made my Birthday fabulous.
Viet did a great job,
he is very professional and patient.

I will definitely be back!

My tattoo artist was Phoung Nguyen! She was very sweet, nice to talk to and very flexible and approachable. She gives you a quote for future tattoos which is VERY convenient!
The tattoo was quick and mostly painless! She was more lighthanded so it was a very smooth sailing session! Her line work an and detailing is beautiful and she has the cutest flashes available. I’m very satisfied with her tattoo!

My latest piece by Leandra! I've been coming here for a while now and happy to get my first manga panel done. It's always a great experience every time I come in for a session.
