By now I've had 4 tattoos from Mike, and he upgraded an old tattoo of mine that was completed by someone else, and we're working on finishing my sleeve. This is the only man I trust to finish my arm, and it's definitely worth the 2.5-hour one-way drive!
I've been with him since before the move to Thousand Oaks, and let me tell ya, he is the chillest artist; he has his craft down to a fine art and has the patience of a saint.
The tattoo in the picture was my first with Mike and it came out perfect!
As for the shop, it's very clean and all the staff is friendly & organized. There's always music playing in a wide variety of genres, and I've also been asked what I wanted to listen to while getting tattooed.
Can't wait 'til my next visit!

I got a realistic tattoo here of a butterfly and i absolutely love it. Mike the owner did it and i will definitely be coming back for more in the future not only by him but by some of their other artists! I have my eye on Gavin next!

Mike and his crew are top notch.
My wife and I have both gotten Tattoos from this location. I wanted a tattoo of my dog that I lost a few months ago. Mike knocked it out of the park .
Ani did an amazing flower / butterfly tattoo for my wife. (Her first tattoo)
We both felt very comfortable at the shop. Striking up conversations about daily life / kids/ families/ business .
Do not hesitate to get a tattoo from MD . Actually call or text them asap !
Thanks again guys!

His name is Mike D and he gives respect. Giving you a great tattoo is what you will get!!!
Mike D is an amazing tattoo artist. His work is out of this world!!! Let's not forget the other artist because their work is amazing as well!
If you're looking for a tattoo (I think they do piercing as well), I HIGHLY recommend this place. I promise you can't go wrong.
This place is AWESOM!!!

I researched many Tattoo artists to find the best 3d Realist. I narrowed down my choices to 2. After reviewing their work and reading reviews, I chose Mike Devries, owner of MD Tattoo Studio. I am glad I did! Mike wasn't the closest to me, over 4 hour drive each way; he wasn't the least expensive of the two, about the same; He was just the best in visual results and honest reviews. After my first tattoo with Mike for a difficult 3 demensional Rolling Stones tongue tattoo; I was quick to return for a second one 2 months later. I am extremely pleased with the results and glad I chose Mike at MD Tattoo Studio. The shop is modern, clean, and bright. The staff is friendly. The results speak for themselves. Thanks Mike! See you again soon!

All the artists here are top notch. Making an appoint was very easy for my nerdy Nintendo tattoo. If you want the best realistic tattoo Mike will make sure that what you want is placed perfectly and more importantly, will make sure it's done beyond your expectations.

I'm very appreciative to the owner, Mike, for reaching out and mitigated my concerns. I figured my deposit was a lost cause but he was highly hospitable with me in getting my deposit back. It says a lot on how he runs his business. Sometimes it's the people, sometimes it's the job. Just have to discern which one.
Thanks Mike!
