I took my daughter to Gina at Anaheim Ink for her very first tattoo, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, Gina's communication was clear, patient, and very understanding, which really helped ease any nerves. She took the time to make sure my daughter felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. The artwork itself came out amazing, exactly what we were hoping for, but what impressed me even more was her customer service, top-tier for sure. She's professional, kind, and genuinely cares about her clients having a great experience. I highly recommend Gina at Anaheim Ink, especially if it's your first tattoo. read more

Quick note: this review will be from Dec Friday the 13th first and also from my most recent visit on Jan 10th 2025 Parking overall is small but I can say that if you struggle a bit definitely worth it December Friday the 13th tattoo flash was definitely an experience as I had never done it. Everything was very well organized. There was a table outside to do check in whether it was tattoos or piercings. The girls there were great and explained the whole process, despite being packed, they were definitely cool, chill and provided great customer service. My kids were getting piercings and I was getting a small tattoo. Once it was our turn to go in, we made our payment and waited for a few more minutes. For my tattoo GinaVee was my artist that night and she was awesome. Tattoo placement was perfect. As for piercings Travis was their piercer and I have to say that every single staff member were still courteous and gave good vibes overall. Cleanliness overall 10/10 Now as for most recent visit, I had scheduled an appointment with tattoo artist Apolo for mom & daughter tattoo sesh. It was my daughter's first tattoo and he made her feel comfortable and was very professional. She was looking for a specific color to get done and Apolo did give a suggestion in regards the color due to skin color. My daughter took suggestion and Apolo did some color mixing and was able to get a color to her liking. Now it was my turn to get inked and for me, this was not first time obviously but it was my first time getting tattooed by Apolo. Again, he makes you feel comfortable and is professional. I felt he was done in a blink of an eye with both me and my daughter. I mean it was a small tattoo but only because I didn't want my daughter to do something bigger being that it was her first tattoo. I did schedule with Apolo again for February. I will definitely keep ya'll posted then. Let's wait and see what will be done on me Highly recommend this place and definitely recommend Apolo for your tattoos as well as GinaVee. You can find them also on IG as apolo_tattoos , ginavee_inkart , and you will also find anaheimink714 Also don't forget to get your piercings as well here and you can find Travis on IG as crabbytravipiercings :) Ps If you're always cold like me make sure you take a blanket lol because they blast the AC full on lol read more

WOW!! Came in as a walk in, on my way to Thriftyland lol and had the best experience. The shop itself is beautiful. Very open, organized, and plenty of flashbooks offered near the front desk. The girl at the front desk was super chill and kept up with my banter, which I appreciated. Edgar was my artist and he was AWESOME. I have had some bad experiences with artists causing some scarring from having a heavy hand and it was quite the opposite with Edgar. I was so worried about getting my knee tattooed again and his touch was so light that it was truly painless compared to some other tattoos I've had done. His lines are super clean and his work is precise and QUICK. He had me out of there in under 30min. I also appreciated how much time and care he took making sure I was pleased with every aspect of my tattoo before starting. He was patient and gentle throughout the process. I'd recommend him for anyone looking for an easy experience for their first tattoo. I'll be back for sure, especially to get something new from Edgar! read more

The piercer is not professional , he used a short lip ring and it ended up imbedding inside my lip, and I had to go somewhere else to get it fixed because when I text him that the jewelry was hurting and the jewelry was too short he said he used a long one, I told him I would wait a few days and keep him updated to see if it would get better, but it didn't. It got worse, and when I text him, he never replied back and mind you I tipped him. I don't know about the tattoo artist, but don't trust the piercer horrible experience.!! read more

10/10 from the get-go! Messaged the shop on Instagram for recommended artists for my tattoo and was told to consult with Rick Star. I got in contact with him, and he is super friendly and approachable, even just through messages. The pricing is fair, the deposit was fair, and the quality of work is stunning. Next month (today) I went in for the tattoo and was immediately greeted by both the ladies up front and Rick himself. You don't get that often, I really appreciate such a friendly and comfortable studio. We get the tattoo started, and it took only a few hours (12:30pm-4pm). Very quick and efficient! Summarized key points of my experience here: * friendly, sociable, professional, fun tattoo artist * professional & clean studio with kind ladies up front * timely and efficient work on the tattoo itself * fair pricing *Will update with picture of it fully healed when ready* read more

love it here!! fav tattoo shop in the oc! great service, vibes were great and the staff is amazing. this shop has so many talented artists, highly recommend coming here! read more

REVIEW ON PIERCING- I came down to so cal to celebrate my bday a couple weeks ago. My mom and I met up with my sister and found out she wanted another piercing and was gonna search around for a place. I took that as a sign for me to get one cause I was never the type to just get a piercing/tattoo just cause. I really thought about it for YEARS! also cause my cultural background lol anyways... We searched and called a handful of places that either did not take walk ins or was very weird and/or rude. Then we called this place; no issues at all and good feelings talking to the person who picked up and they accept walk ins! The universe was still telling me it's time to get a piercing! Lol if this call didnt go well I wasnt going to get one. We walked in and was greeted right away. It wasnt busy at all for it being a Thursday in the late afternoon. It was the usual tattoo parlor and it was clean. There was one customer ahead if us and the wait wasnt long at all. The guy that pierced us was really funny. He made it comfortable for us even when were got a bit nervous. He was super patient too cuase I kept asking stupid questions even after he answered them lol he wore gloves and made sure he used sterile tools; he is very good on changing out his gloves every time he touched something else. I would definitely reccomend this place to whomever wants a piercing!! read more

I absolutely LOVE this shop! Let me preface by stating that I do not live in or near the area--I come down from the Bay Area to get tattooed by Rick and it's worth every mile! I found this place by accident when a fallacious tik-tok led us to the sadness that is thriftyland101. After an extreme disappointment at the thrift store, I came across some of Rick's vday flashes and was stoked to get one! He unfortunately was off that day but they gave him a call and he made his way to the shop to tattoo me ON HIS DAY OFF. I've had such bad experiences before with ego-driven artists who aren't easily relatable but Rick was friendly, humble and very intentional with his pieces, and it definitely manifests in his art--they guy is HELLA TALENTED. Aside from the phenomenal experience that I've had with the artist, the shop is VERY clean and is even 420 friendly which is definitely clutch when getting a big piece. Overall they have amazing customer service--not to mention the playlists hella slap so it's definitely a vibe. I loved my ghost boy so much that I have been back twice and on two separate occasions to get a pair of portraits of Lilly and Herman munster which look insane, so much detail and color! I even brought my bestie and we got matching kawaii candy canes--perfectly executed! 10/10 recommend to get tatted here, and if you love horror and a bad a** artist like me, hit up Rickstar, you will NOT be dissapointed!! read more

Not gonna lie I still have ptsd from this place from Friday the 13th. They were taking cash but wouldn't do change, you had to bring the exact amount which is a BIZZARE practice. When it was time for our tattoo this group of ladies that work there accused us of writing a one star review before we got the tattoo. There was 4 or 5 of us and none of us did it. They kept on going back and forth with us so we basically wasted 20 minutes of our time arguing with them because of the accusations. They said they won't tattoo us because of the review and but eventually they did because they couldn't prove who did it or not and we already paid. They were basically stalking the yelp account of who left the one star review and it was shocking to see as a customer......they were hurt because ONE bad review. We are a group of black girls, I was told after I left they kept on refreshing the yelp page to see if the review they got was removed. Overall, I would not recommend coming here they are extremely unprofessional. The tattoo I got was blown out anyway. I regret big time. The customer service was atrocious, the accusations over a review and the integration from it was uncalled for. Please learn some hospitality. read more

This tattoo parlor is absolutely wonderful. It is extremely clean and spacious. Gina was my tattoo artist and she was just wonderful. Her line work is so clean and the detail she puts into her work is breath taking. I was able to get a matching tattoo with my best friend as he is getting g ready to be rests in the UK. I got one as he got 2. She is absolutely wonderful and has got such a fantastic sense of humor. M read more

I went to Anaheim Ink on Friday the 13th looking for a simple tattoo. The artist I got took an hour and a half to do a 3 x 3 tattoo and it came out terrible. There are multiple lines that are not supposed to be there and half the shading is not even shaded in. This isn't my first tattoo and I took care of it and it still ended up scarring in almost every spot. Easily the worst tattoo I have ever seen. If you're looking for a good tattoo shop go to Black Palm in Tustin. They did the picture of the skull with a snake wrapped around his head in 35 mins for the same price as this tattoo($100). I can't stress it enough, I have a permanent shit show on my arm. DONT GO HERE! read more

This shop is very unprofessional and doesn't know how to communicate well. Scheduled an appointment on Friday the 13th and they tell us we can come back another time. I did make make another appointment and they tell me they can't see me and it's my fault that I won't work with them. Like y'all got me all the way f*cked up FRREAL. There is no way your gonna take my money for the time I reserve, tell me y'all actually can't do it, won't give me a refund and then y'all gonna say "well you aren't working with us" after I try to reschedule it again. The worst tattoo shop by far in Orange County, go to another place that actually respects their customers cause this place ain't it. read more

I recently ate my snake eyes ball and I was so scared it was gonna close and I couldn't find any in store so I called this place and to start i didn't catch her name but the girl at the front desk was so sweet and helpful she had an amazing personality and at first she didn't know if she had the jewelry for me but she told me to come by anyway to see if anything would fit. I'm so happy I did when I came she had the whole booklet out trying to find the one I needed and honestly it felt so good having someone put in that much effort to help me you really don't see people do that now and days she was so kind and welcoming and I would be so screwed if she wasn't there I really recommend this place! best most welcoming visit I've ever had in a tattoo shop read more

I found this shop by browsing and let me tell you, they have the best personnel very professional, they are very kind answered all my questions, I scheduled an appointment with Edgar and he did an amazing tattoo I loved the detail and the fact that he made sure I was okay wirh the placing and was checking up on me asking if I was okay. The receptionist was soo kind as well when I arrived she took care of me and offered water she even played a movie I like while was getting tattoo. I would definitely recommend this place I am returning for another tattoo. If you are looking for talented artist and great clean shop I would definitely recommend you go here. read more

I had an appointment today to get a tattoo and we called numerous times no answer! So we drove down and it was CLOSED! How do you not give me a call to say you guys aren't open??

It started off a recommendation, I walked in the tattoo shop for my first time came out with an appointment , now I finally got my first tattoo done with Apolo , if you ever walk in to Anaheim ink ask for Apolo does great work , listens to your suggestions and makes it an easy environment. Definitely going back very soon read more

I heard amazing things about this place, when I called to request a consult they were very polite and professional I was stoked to find a talented female tattoo artist and I was excited for my new ink. I scheduled an apt and gave them a 50 dollar deposit for my design to be drawn... on my way home from the apt my daughters heart specialist called and said they only had that same day and time available so I called Anaheim ink to reschedule which the graciously did. No issues. Well a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant so I had to reschedule again and so I messaged them and they told me I had to forfeit my deposit and they would not be drawing me out a tattoo, that once I had the baby I could come back in and give them another 50 dollars and they would then draw out my design. All because I had already rescheduled my tattoo once. That is something beyond my control and it's completely unprofessional to treat someone like that because of a pregnancy. read more

I had been looking around the area to get a few tattoos 2 stores said they would be about $1000 but when I came here they priced it at $500.
