    Amazing tattoos and piercings done at this place. Don't think just do! Josue did some cover up work and some original stuff like the Virgin Mary on my bicep and did an amazing job!

    Called yesterday for Walk In availability and spoke with Jay. Came in with my girlfriend and we each received exactly what we wanted. Jay was fantastic to work with - great conversation and really took the time to work with us on exactly what we wanted as well as answering any questions we both had. Not to mention the incredible artistry and detail of what he did, we were both very impressed and throughly enjoyed the experience. Both for the pieces as well as the personality of the artist. Cannot recommend highly enough. Jay is now my go to guy. Thank you again!

    I got matching tattoos with my hubby here tonight. A simple walk-in. Greated with friendly staff. We were lucky to get one of their sharpest tattoo artists named Rask. He was professional and precise. His craft is tailored down to a tee. He and the owner walked us through on how to go through the computerized system to select our font since we were getting each other's names on our forearm. We paid $120 per person. The experience was golden. A quick in and out process.

    Honestly, I am not to write reviews other than good ones. I had called prior to find out pricings for " a pair of second lobe piercings" and was told "$20 for the piercing if you have the jewelry and $60 for both piercing and jewelry" so before hanging up I also clarified that it would be $60 for both ears plus jewelry. Mind you I've gone to other piercing spots that do them for $50 (both ears) with flat back earrings. They actually use the butterfly backs here and that should've been my first red flag but chose to ignore it. After getting pierced with my sister and was getting ready to pay, Dan told me that it would actually be $80 per piercing ($160 for both ears) ($320 for both my sister and I). Another thing, the earrings weren't in sterile packaging. They were all in the box up front with all other types of piercings. The other spots I went to had them in sterile packaging with each individual earring. Another red flag I should've noticed but chose to ignore. Honestly, make sure to get the actual quote or pay before. Because I had spoken to Dan and clarified what was told to me and instead said "$60 for a piercing + $20 for butterfly backings" it doesn't make any sense. Not to mention, the piercings aren't even close to being symmetrical and we had adjusted the spots too.

    I got my first tattoo ever at American Ink Studio in Sherman Oaks, with Dan, he guarantees a top-notch experience. The studio is known for its professionalism and welcoming atmosphere, largely due to the owner's kindness. Dan's artistic skill ensures your tattoo vision comes to life with precision and care. Overall, it's a place where quality artistry meets exceptional customer service, making each tattoo session memorable. 10/10 would definitely recommend, they also gave me anti bacterial soap for after care. i am 1000% returning for my next tat i couldnt be more happier and grateful for my experience

    I've had nothing but positive experiences getting pierced by Miguel. Out of the 6 piercings i've gotten from him, he would always make sure to keep everything as symmetrical as possible. This guy is an expert in his craft and always has interesting stuff to say. Everyone that works here create a welcoming environment, sometimes I drop by just to chat and enjoy the vibes. This place is my go-to!

    Jay is very knowledgeable when it comes to his work! Always makes sure you're comfortable & walks you through his process! Thanks for the awesome art work!

    Great place, great atmosphere, got my first tattoo here Dan was super nice and made the whole experience as comfortable as possible. Came out great!

    This guy , all he had to do was a portrait of my mom ,who had just died! He messed it up so bad that my dad cried when he saw it ,he wants to come down and take care of it himself! This tat took him less then 5 minutes, no more tears by Ozzy was the only song that played! This idiot charged 320 bucks! I would have taken care of it sooner, but have been out of town for 8 months! Something needs to be done!

    See all

    Miguel then was very meticulous about how clean and sterile his piercing area was and changed his gloves several times.
