REVIEWS FOR JUAN
Brystin D. 9/18/2024
This shop is clean, chill and welcoming. Juan is a great artist and has worked on a leg sleeve from start to ...still filling in. Scheduling is easy, the vibes are calm and there is zero intimidation/unwelcoming feel. 10/10 recommend.

I’ve had majority of my tattoos done by Juan.he has great line work and I get compliments on my
Tattoos all the time. Juan has always made sure I was comfortable and at ease.(slightly nervous person here, I don’t handle pain very well) but he always makes sure I’m doing good. And keeps the conversation going. Very professional, his station always well kept clean and organized. Never had any issues.

I’ve gotten several pieces done by MrLerc (Juan Guzman) across several years. He always creates a comfortable and safe session and gives me great ideas to strengthen the concepts I bring to him. For my last one, I was able to described my vision and the meaning behind it and he drew something that exactly fit all the parameters. He’s the first artist I recommend especially for first timers. Will keep going back!

I've been going to Juan G before he even started at Mechanical Concept, he gave me my first tattoo, And my most recent tattoo(s). I definitely need to get another one really soon. He is very tentative asking if i was doing ok, also very patient. He has been my only go to for tattoos tbh.

I found this shop while staying in HB after I was let down by a previous shop. I met Juan, told him what I was looking for, he designed and delivered same day and it turned out spectacularly!
Since that date, I will only let Juan and Mechanical Concept tattoo me. I've repeated half a dozen times and the results have been great each time.
I highly recommend this shop and Juan is a master of his craft. I'll be back!

I've gotten several incredible tattoos from Juan and am always impressed by his work. This shop has such a great atmosphere and the staff are a large part of that. If you're looking to get your first or fifteenth tattoo, this is your place and this is the guy!

My wife and I have been going to MCT for a few years now. I great Tattoo shop. The artist are all great and very professional. Juan Guzman has done 7 pieces on me and they are all my favorite. He makes the time enjoyable with great conversation while there is needle piercing my skin over 1000 times but who would know. I have recommended Juan to my family and friends and I recommend him to you. I will see soon Juan for my next one.

I have always wanted tattoos but never pulled the trigger until my Pops passed and I wanted a memorial piece for him. Spoke to Juan and I could automatically tell he was good fit. I now have half my arm done and I can’t wait for more! Highly recommend the shop and 100% recommend Juan.

From clean job to well done to very nice , to wow! to a good job!!! He is very professional and it is very relaxing while having a tattoo with him. So far he has made 7 of all my 10 tattoos . I recommend him without doubt.his art work varies from old school to modern.

Everyone in the shop is always a vibe, super nice and welcoming! I live about an hour away but it’s worth my drive. Juan is my go to guy! Juan has done my whole half sleeve, he never disappoints.
Stylist: Juan is amazing ! Majority of my tattoos are done by Juan. When I met Juan he was closer to me but once I found out he moved locations I had to follow him. I trust in his work, he never disappoints! So it’s worth the hour drive.

Elizabeth R. 8/5/2024
My tattoo artist was Juan. I came in for 2 tattoos and left with 3. He was very patient with me. He made sure to ask every 10 minutes if I was okay and how I was going. His work is phenomenal. I was very pleased with the outcome of my tattoos! He's very respectful and super sweet. I usually get so nervous or scared before a tattoo but he definitely made me feel comfortable. The whole vibe in general of the place was great!

If you’re looking for a talented and dedicated tattoo artist and tattoo shop, I highly recommend Juan at Mechanical Concepts! Juan is truly the best tattoo artist I’ve ever worked with. His creativity, precision, and attention to detail are unmatched. He will take your vision and turn it into a stunning piece of art that exceeds all expectations. Juan is professional, friendly, and makes sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process. The tattoo shop is very clean, and has a welcoming atmosphere which adds to the overall experience. Juan continues to be my go-to artist whenever I am itching for some new ink!

Lovely shop, nice people, good tattoos, and very affordable. I go to Juan when I’m in town and he also gives me exactly what I want, always a good time with him and I will always go back to him
Keri N. 8/5/2024
Juan did a FANTASTIC job interpreting my book nerd/plant lady idea into what is my favorite tattoo. I have been back for three more tattoos by him since then. He is always kind, funny, and professional. Love Mechanical Concept Tattoo!
Jade R. 8/5/2024
Juan G. Has done two of my tattoos and i couldn’t be happier. One is a really pretty rose that i get compliments on all the time and the other is a memorial piece for my mom. Not only did he give me exactly what i wanted and more in my tattoos, he’s also such a good person. He made me feel super comfortable the first time i met him, and made sure to check on how my tattoos healed weeks and months later. I can’t wait to go back for more soon!

Great shop and all the guys made me feel totally comfortable which is important for us ladies! Found Juan Guzman on Instagram and have 2 tattoos from him now. I’ll be back for more I’m sure.
Sidney W. 8/4/2024
Juan is my go to guy at Mechanical Concepts! He’s always down for my ideas and absolutely kills them every time. Highly recommend him! I can’t rave enough about Juan and the shop itself. Not your average tattoo shop - atmosphere is unbeatable, and it’s always clean as can be. No complaints here!
Amanda G. 8/4/2024
I'm so happy with the quality work this shop offers, Juan is a fantastic artist and I feel super comfortable when I'm in the shop!

This is my go-to place for most of my tattoos, Juan is an amazing artist and this shop has a very cool calm atmosphere I enjoy!
Lane. 8/4/2024
I've been going to this shop for about 10 years and I've gotten all my tattoos done here. It's so comfortable, clean, welcoming. And as a woman I never feel intimidated or talked down to here. They respect everyone who walks in the door. Juan is the artist I go to and he is a genuinely nice guy and a great artist.
Malena D. 8/4/2024
I booked with Juan and he did such a great job! He has the lightest touch of all the tattoo artists I’ve been to so far which I really liked. Cool vibe in the shop too, very clean. Highly recommend booking with Juan 🙏🏼
LaToya G. 8/4/2024
Awesome experience at Mechanical Concepts every time I go! Clean environment, quality but efficient tattooing, and solid customer service overall. Juan has been my artist for a couple of years now, and after 5 or 6 from him (and counting) I never had to scramble and scroll to figure our who I want to work on me. I just take it to him and the shop. If you have the ink itch, take it to Juan and MCT.
Cleanliness: Always clean and being sanitary is a priority
Stylist: Juan is amazing, great artist, personable, wants you to have the tattoo YOU want
Kira E. 8/4/2024
I was referred to Juan a few years ago by a good friend who has received several tattoos from him. Hers look amazing so I wanted to go to her guy. Juan is very sweet and professional. I gave him my ideas and he ran with them. I absolutely love the tattoos he’s given me and I’m already planning more.
Every time I go in the shop is clean and everyone is very welcoming. I’ve been to shops where you feel like you’re interrupting their day and you barely get a “hello”.
If you need a tattoo covered up, touched up or just want new artwork, go see Juan!!
MICHELLE H. 8/4/2024
Juan Guzman did a perfect 5 inch cover-up for me on my upper chest. He helped design the tattoo, choose complementary colors and correct placement. Very clean, comfortable atmosphere, friendly and professional. I will definitely be back again.
Alexandra L. 8/4/2024
I moved to California from Chicago 6 years ago, and Juan at Mechanical Concept Tattoo has been the only artist I’ve ever trusted to tattoo my skin. Hands down, Juan is by far the most detail-oriented, professional, down-to-earth, and insanely talented tattoo artist and human being I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He takes any and all of my spur of the moment ideas and brings them to literal life through his work. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to wear these beautiful tributes on my skin for the rest of my life. Whenever I let Juan know I have an idea, he’s undoubtedly ready to tackle whatever I bring to his desk, and it always feels like I’ve been hanging out with a lifelong friend whenever I step into the shop. Forever and always a loyal MCT customer. Juan, you are incredible. Thank you for your service, my friend. Your beautiful art heals something in those of us lucky enough to experience it.
Carly G. 8/4/2024
I love this shop. Juan is my guy! I’ve also had work done by Billy as well. Both are so awesome, accommodating and friendly. Not one time have I been intimidated by this shop. When I was referred to Juan to complete some work a retired artist wasn’t able to finish, it was like I met my Brother from another Mother. I can go to him with whatever random manic idea I have and he kills it every time! The new Owners of this shop are so amazing as well and give back to their HB Community. They have done a great job giving the shop a new vibe too! I highly recommend this place. It’s rad all around!
Micah R. 8/4/2024
Best tattoos I’ve gotten have been from this shop specially from Juan Guzman. Great tattoo artist. We always have the best conversations and he is patient and doesn’t mind if you use numbing cream.

Had a great experience here getting a new tattoo from Juan. He listens to what your ideas are and truly brings them to life with great detail. Juan is friendly, talented, and super easy to work with. I will absolutely be reaching out to him in the future when I am ready for additional work. Highly recommend!

Clean shop, nice people, very accommodating, and affordable. My tattoo was done by Juan and he had good insight to what would look good in regard to size and shape. Very pleased.
Katrina K. 11/12/23
I absolutely love this shop! Extremely professional and very talented artists. Fair pricing and quality service. I'll be getting my ink done here. Thank you. Knew the owner before he opened up this shop. Had trouble with other artists in professional attitude and skill at other locations. Came back here after learning some hard lessons. Here's my first tattoo correction by the amazing Juan G, aka Mr.Lerc. I highly recommend this shop and all of its artists. Everything is clean and straightforward. Can't wait to post some original artwork by Juan.
Danielle J. 10/29/23
Juan recently did my first tattoo and made the whole experience a very positive one. He took his time to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted and discussed options to make things look even better. He is very attentive to your needs and makes sure you are as comfortable as possible. His talent and skill is apparent in his attention to detail, the cleanliness of his lines, and his excellent vision that made my desired tat look even better. He is very friendly and personable and I highly recommend come to Mechanical Concept Tattoo and having Juan work his magic for you.

Lauren S. 6/21/20
I was referred to this place by some friends and I was really impressed! Juan made me feel so comfortable and was super professional. I was really nervous since it was my first tattoo but he was great with making me feel at ease. Very clean place and very nice people!
Cindy I. 7/26/19
Got my first tattoo at 56. My appointment was with Juan. Walked in and was met by him. He's such a cool guy! I was afraid my tattoo would be too boring for him after seeing some of his work but he took the time to make sure my plumeria was everything I wanted. Not only is Juan a talented artist, he's professional and so patient! He made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My plumeria turned out better than I thought it would. Loved the way he shaded it. I'm so happy with it!
I highly recommend Juan! I'm already thinking of a second one!
