    Eric is the piercing artist at Action Tattoo and he is amazing! From start to finish, he kept us informed of the process, pricing and even special ordered exactly what we wanted. The experience was great and he took careful attention to go above and beyond. I highly recommend him!

    Awesome rooster by Roger

    Got an amazing tattoo from Roger! I was able to reach out and email back and forth with him to coordinate exactly what I wanted. He was very responsive and helpful through the whole process. The shop is great and you can tell that all of the staff here are passionate about their art. Will definitely be returning!

    Great experience always. Most of my tattoos are from Rick. He uses my ideas and makes beautiful custom artwork. Awesome and professional artists at Action Tattoo. My 17 year old daughter got her nose pierced last week and the service was great. Highly recommend!!!

    Eric, their piercing, runs "Piercing in Action". It's the piercing artist inside the shop. He did my first piercing ever in my helix and it was a beautiful turquoise stone. Really happy with it and he checks in with me to make sure I'm still happy with it and that it heals properly. FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!

    My daughter has been asking to get her ears pierced for a long time. I knew I didn't want to go to the mall to get them done. I searched through Yelp and found this place. I texted Simba as stated on the website and he was super quick to reply. Within 45min, I had made an appt, filled out paperwork online and got info from Simba. He was BEYOND thorough at the appointment, told my daughter everything he was doing/going to do where she could understand and was really patient when her anxiety kicked in. The place was SUPER clean, welcoming and chill. I highly highly recommend getting a piercing here with Simba! We were in and out so quick!

    I came in wanting an upper lobe and a helix (If that is what it's called) piercing. Simba was friendly, patient, and went over the after care with a lot of details. He's very knowledgeable which made feel more confident in being able to take care of my new piercings. I got both ears pierced. It was pretty quick and painless. On a pain scale for my Upper Lobe I give it a 2/10. For my Helix it was closer to a 3/10. For anyone considering piercings I recommend going to Action Tattoo.

    My original bee that I loved , so nice .

    Was trying to decide for a long time if I should write this review and after a year of considering, I made the choice to write this review. First, I will just explain what happened as factually as possible. When I first came into the shop, I met Ray Herrera, I explained to him I wanted a touch up on color on a bee tattoo I have. I asked if he wanted to see the original photo of my tattoo and he said no. I booked a time slot with him and left. When I came to my appointment I asked again if he wanted to see the original picture of the bee I used for my tattoo, and he said no. When Ray finished my tattoo, it was a completely new bee in size, shape, and figure. I paid with a 20% tip and left. I called back about a week later to tell him I was unhappy with his work as he gave me a whole new tattoo when I only asked for color touch up. He said he could fix it but that he would charge me full price to fix it. The bee was now too big, and I didn't want the fix to make it any bigger. Honestly, I don't know how he could have fixed it unless he could erase what he first inked. I never went back and started the process of tattoo removal on the bee tattoo he did. These are the facts. Now for my feelings based on what happened. First, shame on me. I should have never booked an appointment with someone who doesn't want to see the original picture of the tattoo at any time beforehand. Second, shame on me again because I didn't look once during the process. Unfortunately, I had full faith in him to just do a color touch up. Third I was SHOCKED to see all the adjustments he had made with ZERO communication. I literally almost cried in his seat as soon as he showed it to me. Beyond that, after I called, he could have cared less that he didn't listen at all to what I wanted. That he had destroyed a tattoo I had in remembrance of my grandmother. He did nothing to resolve the issue besides me paying to start all over with him. It was all a bad situation that left me feeling unheard, not important, and needing tattoo removal which is painful and EXPENSIVE AF. Also, the tattoo he did, did not turn out well. The lines were very strange and blotchy. Please see the before photos of my cute, sweet, feminine bee next to the quarter . Then see the bee Ray did, a whole new bee with a new head , butt, antenna, and ugly bug eyes, very masculine, fuzzy, not crisp lines and faded color... the opposite of the look I had and needed to remember my grandmother. I do not at all recommend Ray Herrera from Action Tattoo in Anaheim .

    I got a Friday the 13th tattoo done and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it came out! I was in there for less than an hour, but the artist tattooing me, Brian, didn't feel like he was rushing (definitely efficient). The vibes were great, and I can't wait to come back to get my next tattoo!

    11/28/22:  yin yang matchy-matchy. brought in a picture of what we wanted, BRIAN tweaked it out and gave it life with his super powers.

    8.19.22: It was a quiet afternoon as my daughter and I strolled in. There were two tattoo artists sketching away at the table, and one piercer who was able to accommodate us on a walk-in. My daughter just turned 17 so as a minor they not only require parental consent, but you have to bring a copy of your child's birth certificate to prove your relationship. I didn't see this as an inconvenience, but instead it was COMFORTING to know that the shop owner takes his business very seriously. For this, A+++++ It was fast, in & out in under 20 mins. My daughter said it was painless (smiley piercing), and BRITTANY had a gentle hand. I met BRIAN, one of the artists, and i'm hoping to have some work done by him in the next couple months. The shop is tidy and organized, and in a clean location. It is tucked away in a shopping plaza, away from the main road, which is nice bc you don't get random people strolling in & out. If you're there it's bc you are having work done and are not there to window shop or be an obnoxious kid who doesn't even have money to afford a double-double with fries next door. A good first time experience overall and i would recommend this shop. Note: California law states no one under age 18 can get a tattoo, regardless of parent consent. If you find a shop in California willing to break the law, that's a big red flag.

    Really happy with my tattoo, thanks Roger, you did a awesome job.

    Went to see Roger for my chest piece. Knocked it out of the park. Totally nice dude, super clean shop, very professional working atmosphere. Would definitely recommend, 10 out of 10 for sure.

    Just finished my second tattoo in 2 weeks at Action. I have been tattooed all over the country and I can say that this is one of the best shops I have been to. Roger has done all my work and I can't recommend him enough. The shop is immaculate, well lit, super sanitary, and one of the most comfortable places you can get inked. Roger listens to your idea, creates the artwork and works with you to design your ideal tattoo. I will def return to have more work done here Interesting side note, as my most recent tattoo was being done, the stencil became smudged and almost unreadable. Roger, the consummate professional, didn't skip a beat, knew exactly what he wanted to do, and created a perfect tattoo. You need to get Inked by this guy!

I walked in and picked a set of earrings and off to see Eric, who literally made it painless. He gave me post-care instructions, and asked that I come back in 8 weeks for a follow-up visit and to shorten the posts. We just shortened the posts and it's been great. I've followed their care instructions and have been very happy. If you need a place where they keep standards high to protect you as a client and make things easy, this is your place. It is worth the money.

    While this shop has APP members, the experience of coming to this studio lacks what other…read morestudios/APP members provide. Lots of parking outside. The studio is very small. Because they take walk-ins, it can get very busy. When I went, it was incredibly loud and packed, and the counterstaff did not attend to this issue (they could have asked those not in for a service to wait outside, made the line to the counter clear, etc). The counterstaff seemed friendly (but didn't appear confident when I asked her what size jewelry posts I got after my appointment). There is a good selection of fine jewelry, both titanium and gold which was great. For my downsize, the piercer didn't close the door behind us, so there was a lack of privacy. I also wasn't presented with the new backings of my jewelry or shown that they had been properly sterilized by their autoclave/statim, and it felt very rushed. I got multiple piercings downsized and for some reason, the piercer utilized a backing from my flat to downsize a lobe piercing. I'm not sure why they did that, as 1) the gauges of the jewelry were different and 2) this left a lot of room extra room between my jewelry and my lobe. Please keep in mind that all of my piercings are well healed over 5+ years and I wanted the most snug fit possible, and was not given that. I should have said something in the moment about this, but as a more reserved person, I'm not one to complain when someone already seems like they're rushing me. After the downsize, I went back to my main piercing studio (over an hour away) to get my lobe properly downsized. I really feel like I wasted my time here, both in waiting over 45 minutes for a downsize and in not getting a properly fitting end. I was honestly shocked at my experience due to the reviews this place has. But maybe I am pickier than most when it comes to these things. Bottom line though is at least they safely pierce and have good jewelry. If you don't nitpick like me, you'll be fine going here.

Don't make the same mistake I did coming here.

I appreciate how Simba displays care for his craft, but there were many red flags during my experience. My partner and I had requested stainless steel right away for our piercings clarifying we didn't need a titanium upgrade as we have no sensitivities even after the sales pitches, but once Simba told us the price at the end it was much higher than originally quoted, so we corrected him and he said he pierced us with titanium. Not once in the process was this made known to us. This was an extra $40ish to our total that we had no choice but to pay, when we have no sensitivities or allergies and are used to stainless steel jewelry. Simba was very salesman-y and tried to have us purchase many things until I requested to take them off the total, which I get from a business perspective but it made things a bit uncomfortable. I was familiar with the products too as we sell them at my work, and they are not soundly necessary for piercing aftercare. Any clean saline spray works great. The main problem came with my vertical labret piercing, which the end ball fell out 1-2 hours after he pierced me. I was standing when it fell out, and i didn't even notice until I saw my lip. I had to go back and get it fixed, which I do appreciate that Simba came back to help and screw a new one in. Then, 2 weeks later, my piercing fell out again when I was sitting in a car on a road-trip to another state. I never touched my piercing or did high movements out of caution. Once again only noticed when I saw my lip in a mirror. It was an insanely stessful experience where my piercing came out from the top of my lip and I had to shove it back in with blood leaking down my chin during a food stop in front of my family. Appetite ruined. Though Simba referred me to someone he knew in the area I had to pay to get the ball replaced, and this piercer was amazing. Johnny from Club Tattoo. My body was in shock from everything and I was not all the way there but he was very kind and I wish he was local to the area. He mentioned that per Simba's instructions (which were rather outdated, uncommon, and bizarre: clean the piercing 3 times a day with a spray and then 1 more time with a specific foam soap), I was over cleaning my irritated piercing and needed to let it be instead. I was only spraying it 3 times a day as I thought the soap was overkill, and spraying it 1-2 allowed it to heal better. The real kicker was, once this piercer switched my bottom ball out (Simba was telling me to buy a whole new piercing), it never fell out again! Not even once. I was even worried as the jewelry base was different. And I was very careful out of fear at first but then I started continuing my workouts and being not careful at all, bumping it etc, it still never fell out and lasted me about 5 months, perfectly in fact, until I had the courage to downsize it with The Piercing Shop (they were also very kind, low stress, and told me not to pay more for titanium when I asked as a precaution bc stainless steel works just fine). I even considered going back to Simba to downsize but never got a response. I'm unsure how things could've gone so wrong here, and it was personally a bad experience for me and my partner whose piercing had no room to be downsized as well and hasn't healed well. 2 stars for the early effort in communication at least, but overall a very poor personal experience
