After many hours and discussions about life, family, passion, why some disney characters wear clothes while others don’t, etc etc; I come out with a beautiful sleeve. Thanks @justintauchtattoos will def miss vibin at the shop
—————————————————————————
I had a full sleeve completed over several sessions. From the first contact to developing concept and design, to execution and finish; Justin was amazing.
He’s professional, kind, funny, passionate about his craft.
He was able to translate a vague vision in my brain onto my skin. Before we even began, he has already put in hours of work.
The shop:
Clean, bright, comfy, cozy, decorated beautifully. Fantastic music.
The artists:
Don’t let their super chill vibe and warmth deceive you. They are talented and fiercely dedicated to their craft.
This is now six months later, my sleeve healed beautifully. I still find myself staring at this beautiful artwork I get to carry around with me wherever I go.
PS
I sent my kid to get her first tattoo with Justin. She sent her bf to get his first tattoo with him too.
I’ll def send my other kids to him when the tattoo bug hits them.

Possibly the worst tattoo studio in Long beach! Don’t get me wrong, the studio is really well decorated; however the artists are just awful so RUDE!!! They all act like they are famous celebrities; point of fact is they are all just your normal tattoo artists NOTHING special. I saw the work on IG because it looked so nice!! and wanted to go have a look, funny enough even with the attitude they have, a customer was also their complaining about a tattoo they got, guys and warning to potential customers this tattoo studio spends more time photo editing the tattoos than the actual tattoo they have done, the customer show me what he got and what they posted on IG wow so different!!
The owner, Justin Tauch, is just a terribly rude, very ill-mannered and uneducated individual, however very good Photoshop skills, studios like this should be called out!! Rude and too much editing on the tattoos they do!!!!!!!

I got a small birthday tattoo from one of my favorite band last week. Justin did a phenomenal job and I am in love with the new addition. Also, I am getting a lot of compliments! He was quick and careful. Justin and Carla made me feel comfortable and welcomed.
Make sure to make appointments, no walk-ins.
P.S. I am so happy for Justin, who just opened his shop in the area! The shops really represents him. His tattoo style is distinctive. I highly recommend him for your tattoo needs.

Okay not sure who mister troll face is down below, but this tattoo shop only deserves 5 stars! Justin is so talented and very professional. He strictly adheres to all safety measures and sanitary practices, and the shop is so clean but doesn’t feel sterile and cold. As a healthcare professional, I’m super picky and pay close attention when I get any work done anywhere. I’ve never felt anything but comfortable at Breakwater. PS, love the cool photos and artwork on the walls! Looking forward to getting more work done soon!

This tattoo shop is the best place to get your first or even 2nd, 3rd, 4th tattoo or etc however many! The artists there are extremely helpful and they know what they're doing! Tan is super friendly and will walk you through the process. Never has there been a dull moment with the staff here!

Best tattoo shop ever! Justin created a custom piece for me and it’s beautiful. Shop was clean, service was professional, and I would recommended this place to anyone looking for the same.

Tan is an excellent artist and walks you through everything from the artwork through to the actual tattoo. Excellent work and I will be going in soon for more tattoos in the future!
