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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is the premiere studio to get your Ink on and if you want to get that piercing your at the right place.

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 read more

Brought my kid in to get some new piercing jewelry but it wouldn't go through. Miguel took a look and we learned it had been done incorrectly and at an incorrect gauge. He repierced it properly and gave us a great deal with the correct jewelry. Thanks, American Ink. I have a feeling we'll be back. read more

Miguel did my Septum piercing and 3 earrings. The septum was honestly super easy and almost painless compared to what I thought it would be. He was quick, professional and a total master. Would recommend getting pierced here anytime. Didn't have a chance to get any ink from Rask but hopefully one day soon. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Getting a tattoo, for some people is never an easy decision. Probably because of how permanent it is. When I first met Dan, which was at my place of work not his, I didn't even realize I wanted a tattoo. When speaking to him, he just has this way of making you feel comfortable. His work is awesome, meticulous, and he doesn't finish until you're happy! The shop itself is immaculately clean and fun with all the little pictures and artwork everywhere. I'm definitely going back to get another piece done by Dan very soon! read more

Amazing experience ! Doesn't matter who you are interacting with, they are all friendly and accommodating! Not to mention, it's all worth it in every way!!!!!!! Please hit my people up!! read more

Dan is the man! Seriously, he's great. So personable and funny. My first tattoo and he made it a very enjoyable experience. Not gonna lie, it hurt...but Dan made the process actually fun. He spent quite some time making sure I was pleased with the drawing & size. Walked me through the process, and ensured that I'd be happy with the final product. He used a stencil to figure out placement. I walked in, but I recommend you make an appointment. Pricing is $100 minimum, but worth the time he takes with you. I really enjoyed talking to Dan, and he's got years and years of experience. Thank you Dan! read more

I got a tattoo a year or so ago from here and was quite disappointed. The tattoo artist was nice and had clearly done good work but not on me. Within a few days of healing I was told I might have used a bad "soap or lotion" that caused it to be blown out. Which is not true I have many tattoos and had them all heal fine. The artist was nice enough to try and fix it but now a year later the tattoo is blown out and ugly and now need to fix it someplace that is not American Ink. read more

Carl was amazing! He's so silly and made the process of getting my eyebrow pierced easy. Highly recommend :)

Alex treated me very well on my first-tattoo ever appointment. If I had a higher threshold for pain I would have finished my tattoo in the first sitting, however I had to come back a few times within a span of two months to get it finished. Overall I'm satisfied with my tattoo :) I'm not sure if I'll ever get a tattoo again but if I do I'm willing to explore other interesting talented artists all over LosAngeles to get a feel for style variety! :D I would recommend Alex personally to any person who is getting their first tattoo, he was gentle with me and I can't express just how much patience he also had with me as I can imagine I was rather difficult to work with, haha! Thanks Alex :) read more

A friend of mine had been pierced before at American Ink Tattoo so I thought I would call before I went in. I spoke with Miguel who was so nice on the phone and gave me all the information I needed. When we walked in we were greeted by one of the tattoo artist who was very welcoming. Miguel then was very meticulous about how clean and sterile his piercing area was and changed his gloves several times. He was super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The piercing was quick and pretty painless. After the piercing he explained after care. His detail to cleanliness and precision is remarkable. I highly recommend Miguel and this shop. Dan who is there has great jokes and the staff is very entertaining while being professional. What more can I say but go to American Ink!! read more

I wish I could give more stars than 5!! I live in the neighborhood and was having some issues with my piercing. The staff was immediately welcoming, accommodating, clean, and happy to help. I couldn't be more thankful. Dan is the man! Thank you so much!! read more

I LOVE American ink and literally don't want to go anywhere else. Jay is my go to tattoo artist who is extremely talented and super light handed that I hardly feel when he is tattooing me. Not to mention the shop owner Miguel who is super cool and a great piercer. I have gotten my Marilyn pierced and my tongue pierced here by Miguel and the experience was seamless and he made me feel very comfortable while getting pierced. Not only that but since I have been coming here, I genuinely have gotten to know the artists at the shop and they have the best personalities that they make you feel at ease in a naturally stressful situation and make you feel like family. I think their prices are better than most shops and the quality of work that they produce is unlike any other shop I have visited. I won't go anywhere else now and told my tattoo artist he's stuck with me now that I'm committed in doing an entire sleeve and have received nothing but compliments on the work that I have got at this shop. It looks classy, sexy and the colors stand out in a way that no other artist has been able to attain on my light colored skin. I highly recommend this shop and wouldn't take a chance on other shops in the area either. American ink also has an girl that that can do tooth gem's, if your looking to do something different and too afraid to get something like a piercing or tattoo. Stop in and tell them Jessie sent you and you won't be disappointed!!!!!!! read more
