    I have gotten two tattoos from Lydia and I am very pleased with both of them. The prices are reasonable, Lydia is very helpful and friendly, and both times I got my tattoo without an appointment. The second tattoo she designed entirely, I gave her a few ideas of what I wanted but she came up with something that was absolutely perfect in every way. I really could not have asked for anything better than what she designed on the first try!

    The shop has lots of interesting knick-knacks to look at while you are getting tattooed and Lydia is an interesting person to talk to. Overall, I would recommend Lydia to anyone who is looking to get tattooed.

    One of my ears became so swollen I couldn't remove the earring myself, so I reluctantly went back and had it removed at Ancient Arts (he used a leatherman). Now I'm on a course of antibiotics.

    Don't let this happen to you!

    Absolutely Awful! Terrible Service! Amateur Results!
    I've gotten inked up a few times, and now need to get a massive cover up on the pitiful tattoos I've got. DON'T GET ANY TATTOO or PIERCING from Ancient Arts. They are CON ARTISTS. Lydia and Damian should be put out of business! Please don't support Ancient Arts, there are several other tattoo and piercing shops in the area. Sailer's Grave and Primal Decor in Eureka, CA are much more professional. I HOPE ANCIENT ARTS GETS A REPUTATION FOR BEING THE WORST SHOP IN ALL OF HUMBOLDT! , I've seen several awful tattoos from them, tattoos  that look like they are ten years old after six months. I regret ever going in their and trusting such talentless, inconsiderate, and careless people. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!

    Got a tattoo from the owner. Very professional. He did very good work. The shop is filled with interesting art and decoration. Mood was perfect for a tattoo. I am very happy with both service and quality. Be prepared for the staff to be frank and honest with you if you are asking them to do something they don't think they can do they will work with you, but, when it comes to tats and piercings, trust your artist and if what you want can't be done there, find another.
