Google won't allow me to give 6 stars.
I've gone to Ryback twice! If that doesn't say enough, keep reading. Not only is everyone professional, but they also make you feel so welcomed. I've been to shops that made it seem like customers were an inconvenience, Red Buddah is the total opposite. Friendly, clean, good vibes.
Ryback's work is IT! He's quick, so there's less pain but he's precise. He really cares about his art...and if you have tattoos, you know that's important!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking this place out.

I got tattooed by the owner ryback and it was a great experience. Not only was his work amazing, but the customer service was also very welcoming - especially his apprentice Tee.

don't usually leave reviews, but i've been so saddened and upset by the way I was treated and spoken to by Nolan. I was a walk in and asked for something small- took a bit of time to pick out a font and once it was printed we worked on placement and that's where it all went down hill. He placed it in one spot I went and checked it out then asked to move it slightly down- he says "well what if you want to move it back?" and I said um we move it back?? so I look at the placement and decided he was right and the first placement looked best and I asked to move it back and he huffs and puffs and says "oh come on!". He aggressively wipes the stencil off then places it back in the right spot. I so wanted to walk out and cry but the people pleaser in me felt guilty for all the work he had done regardless of how rude he was. Perhaps he was having a bad day, but when it comes to a tattoo clients should be able to move it as many times as they want without an attitude. With that being said he did do an excellent job, lines are sharp and it looks great. Just wish I didn't have to look at this tattoo and think about the not so great experience.Service: Tattoos

I've looked everywhere to find an artist that could do Japanese art as a tattoo. I found his store through yelp walked in and he helped me out! I made an apt with him and got my first big tattoo! Noodles is such a good tattoo artist I've even traveled from AZ to have him tattoo me again! Not only does he do Japanese art but he is also very knowledgeable about the Asian arts within tattooing. He did the first part of my sleeve and I liked it so much I got a full sleeve! He's very fast too and responsive! I got my first two tattoos in the newport location and finished my sleeve at the LakeForest location! You should defiantly check out his Instagram! I traveled twice from AZ to have him as an artist! I def would recommend him to everyone!

RyBack is the artist to see at this parlor. Light handed and makes sure you're comfortable as he goes. Highly recommended for sure.

Rybacks tattoos are sick he has a new location 25411 trabuco rd in lake forest above the barber shop, his shop is worth a drive if you want artwork on your body. Progress on my sleeve turns out better and better every time I go and he makes the appointment fun with good conversation and a chill atmosphere.Services: Tattoo design

Ryback is a very chill dude. Let him know what your ideas are and he will help you bring your idea to life. If you have been debating on whether to go to Red Buddha or not consider this your sign. Go make an appointment Ryback will get you right.

Went here with a friend while we were out exploring the surrounding area and we both got our septum pierced. Good environment, good people and the piercer was an awesome person and good at her job.

Super satisfied! Our artist David was extremely patient and knew what he was doing. Very experienced. He does great fine line tattoos and keeps things professional.

When I walked in, I made it abundantly clear that I've never gotten a tattoo before and that I knew less than nothing about it. David helped me with the design and we agreed to proceed. On the day we inked it, I failed to proof the stencil beforehand. But, importantly, David didn't offer to have me proof it either. When I got home, I noticed a key element was wrong. And when I called David to discuss, he questioned why I was bringing it to his attention "after the fact". And when I asked if it could be fixed, he gave me an option at my expense. These guys are probably awesome for an experienced person, but newbies need to beware. Another big mistake is that I never discussed price. Even before noticing the error in his work, I felt he added an extra $100 on at the last minute. Combine that with his error, his "after the fact" accusation, and his solution to fix it at more expense to me, I'm extremely disappointed. Something I'll live with.
