    Tattoo by Leo
    Christine A.

    I got my first tattoo done by Leo at Ants Tattoo! For a first-time customer, I had a pretty decent experience. The shop was very clean and quiet aside from the music in the background. Leo was easy to talk to regarding my tattoo and he made sure I was comfortable. But I mainly read and listened to my own music for the most part. I also got to talk to some other artists at the end of my session and they were friendly! There is ample parking as it is located in a small plaza. Overall would visit again!

    My friend and I wanted tattoos, something simple. Found Ants on IG and they were super responsive and helpful. Felt taken care of before we even walked in the door. They were patient with us as we got everything just right, but in and out in under an hour. Happy with the work they did! Didn't realize they had done a bit of renovation, and we definitely loved the pink over the slate grey they had before. Just made for a fun vibe and cool photos when we were done.

    My sister and I came here to get matching fine line tattoos. We found our artist (Jing) on Instagram and she was very accommodating. We had changed our design a few times so we appreciated her patience with us. We were nervous because this was our first tattoo but when we walked in we were greeted immediately and the vibe of the shop was relaxed so it made us feel more comfortable. I have been to other shops for piercings before so I know it can be intimidating walking into some shops. The shop was nice and clean as well. We filled out paperwork and then went over our design and size of the tattoo. She showed us a couple different sizes. She did an amazing job and we both love our tattoos. It was quick and she told us a bit about the aftercare and later followed up on Instagram with the more in depth after care and the Saniderm removal process. I had such a good experience here and would definitely come back to her when I decide to get another tattoo.

    Artist: Dylan Oh Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Thank you so much for the best experience in a while. This was my memorial tattoo dedicated to my twins and Dylan did a phenomenal job. Great communication and a lot of patience with me. He was all smile and laughter which made my nervousness went away. I'm all about the vibes and something that was important with me was the vibe between the tattoo artist and I. Since I didn't get to have a face to face consultation but rather via dm, I'm really glad our first impression was positive. With that said, we made plans for future tatts and I'm excited.

    Had such a great experience here with Jing! The shop was nice and clean. My sister and I came here to get matching tattoos. Jing was super friendly and professional. She made sure we were comfortable and got exactly what we wanted.

    I have gotten two more tattoos at Ants since my last review. I'll start with the disco ball by Leo - I'm completely obsessed and stand by everything I've said about Leo in my past reviews. I've had his work on me for about a year now and it's all healed nicely too. I definitely plan to continue getting future work done by Leo. On the other hand, I got my butterfly tattoo done by Max here recently as well. I really like the end result of the tattoo but experience-wise it wasn't as great. It didn't feel like he was taking the time to make sure placement was straight and whatnot and overall felt a little rushed. He also didn't shave the area before tattooing which felt weird to me. In addition, he spoke to his coworkers in Chinese for pretty much the entire two hours he was tattooing me. This wouldn't have been so bad except he was screaming across the shop at them so it wasn't ideal. Overall, I like the tattoo he gave me, but not the experience. I would say if you're looking for something clean and fine I would 100% recommend Leo though! He's great!

    Ignore the redness - super sensitive skin.

    This place was great. The manager was super responsive to my texts, which were full of questions, and May did a fantastic job. She was kind and very patient (first timer here). She truly cared that the tattoo looked as best it could, and was placed exactly where I wanted it. She gave me 3 size options, using the drawing I brought in, and adjusted the location of the transfer, several times, until it was just right. The studio is clean and you are in a private booth for your session. She gave clear instructions on in terms of the after care, and let me know that if I needed a touch up after it healed, that she offers that at no charge.

    Amazing line work, Dylan was one of the kindest, most professional artist I've ever met. I will be definitely be coming back to this shop. From small to large tattoos every artist at Ants Tattoos will be more than capable.

    $125 (pre tip, I tipped $40 on top of this I think) wonky Boo, fully healed.
    Grace V.

    I was already skeptical about this place because I couldn't find any healed photos from clients out in the wild on Instagram, just crazy detailed anime tattoos over photoshopped backgrounds. All his posts he had tagged himself in so all his tagged photos were the same.They were advertising a summer flash sale so I figured I'd get a little Boo from the Mario franchise because that's about as simple as it gets. The artist (Shun) was nice enough but he seemed very green and the longer I watched him set up the less convinced I was that the art on his Instagram was actually his. Boo is a very round character and the dude did short strokes; I'm sure you can imagine he ended up looking pretty bumpy. The line thickness is super uneven, also. Luckily I have a regular artist and I'm going to ask him fix the outline. Also the vibes in the shop are very makeshift feeling, and every artist had a bunch of printouts of other tattoo artists' original work. I recognized I ton of @Thomasetattoos art pinned up at people's stations which leads me to believe these people are stealing art, beyond just anime art.

    Tat by May. Love my  and reminder to do self care!
    Debbie W.

    Found them on IG to celebrate my son's birthday wish for us to get tattoos together. Phil, May and Dylan were hospitable, professional, and had exuberantly awesome sauce vibes! Definitely going back for more tats! Planning them out My son Pikachu and I am Grüt tats were done by Dylan. My self care frog and retouch up an old tat that I got from somewhere else was done by May---they are perfect and just the way I expected them to turn out.

    Finished tattoo!!

    Leo was my tattoo artist and he was amazing! He did everything I wanted in the design and took his time. I DM'd him on IG and he would respond within a few hours. He gave me the sketch a day beforehand. The tattoo took 7 hours. As for the facility, AntsTattoo was clean and welcoming. They even offered me water, soda and snacks since I was going to be here a while. We took a break every 60-90 mins and it never felt rushed. This is my first big tattoo and I'm glad I picked the right person for the job.

    Shyn quoted me $1000-$1200 for a 8" tattoo that was supposed to include realistic trees.  This is part of her final design sketch.
    Zed K.

    I was really excited when I saw Shyn's portfolio because it looked like she designed a lot of detailed botanical tattoos, which is just what I wanted. I reached out to her and we talked about a custom tattoo that she would design for me. I wanted a more realistic version of a sketch I'd done with some trees, and anatomical heart, and some other elements. The trees were supposed to represent specific types of native trees and I sent her reference photos to give her an idea of what they should look like. She agreed, we sheduled a day, and she said she'd send me the design a few days beforehand. She quoted me $1000-$1200 for the 7-8" piece on my shoulder. Several of my friends who have tattoos, one of which was from her, were shocked the price was this high. However, I assured them that for the detailed design I wanted I would be happy to pay this. The day before my appointment I still hadn't gotten a sketch from Shyn, so I messaged her. She said she was just finishing some final details. I trusted her and figured we could discuss any alterations when I got there. When I arrived from my appointment, no one was there and the door was locked. At first Shyn said I'd mixed up the dates, until I pointed out the messages in our conversation thread. Then she profusely apologized and asked to reschedule. At the time I was frustrated, since my partner had driven 5hrs to see me get my first tattoo. Still, everyone mixes up dates sometimes and I thought she sounded genuinely apologetic. Two days before my new appointment I asked her again about the concept design. She said again that she was just doing some final touches. At around midnight she sent me a design that looked sloppy and awkward. In the center of the design was a heart that was literally a line by line copy of an image from Adobe images. It wasn't even incorporated into the rest of the design like I asked, was a different style than the rest, and looked really out of place. The trees weren't really more realistic than the sketch I did, some even looked worse. Shyn also left out other elements I asked for completely. When I asked her about copying the heart she lied and said she drew it. I sent her a link to one of the original artists website, and she said "what did you expect" then lied again and said she drew it. It was literally the day before my appointment so I canceled and will commission another artist. If this was some small flash tattoo I probably wouldn't be too mad, except for not really liking her stealing another artists work. But this was supposed to be a custom piece, and not a cheap one. I assumed some of the $1000-1200 was for the time she'd been designing my tattoo, because she said the tattoo itself would only take 3.5-4hr. it looked like she spent maybe 20min on the design. When I looked again at her Instagram, I noticed that a lot of her really beautiful detailed drawings are copied from images online and a lot of her custom designs look kind of awkward. It really seems like she doesn't draw stuff herself and just makes stencils from other artists' work.

However, my boyfriend was present during the appointment and heard the conversation firsthand. The comments about me needing to lose weight were made at least 5 times, which is why they made me uncomfortable. I also found the owner's use of the term "extra flesh" in his public response to be unprofessional and reflective of the concerns raised in my original review. Never once did I mention "extra flesh" so you see they literally body shame even publicly. I stand by my experience. While my piercing healed well with the titanium jewelry I selected, the repeated comments about my body and the pressure I felt to purchase more expensive jewelry are the reasons I chose not to return. -------- I originally booked an appointment here because they operate by appointment only. However, I was surprised to learn that both appointments and deposits are cash only. In a time when most businesses accept cards, Apple Pay, and other digital payment methods, this felt unnecessarily inconvenient. During my visit, I decided to get my belly button pierced. Unfortunately, the experience left a negative impression. Throughout the appointment, the piercer an Asian lady repeatedly commented that I needed to lose weight. These remarks were unsolicited, unprofessional, and made me uncomfortable. For context, I am 5'3" and approximately 123 pounds. Regardless of anyone's size or personal fitness goals, customers should not have to listen to repeated comments about their body during a piercing appointment. I came in for a service, not for criticism about my appearance. After that experience, I decided I would not return. Another issue I had was the constant pressure to purchase more expensive jewelry. I specifically requested titanium jewelry because I had researched it beforehand and wanted an option that is commonly recommended for sensitive skin. Despite this, I felt repeatedly pushed toward more expensive alternatives and was told I would be more likely to experience problems if I chose titanium. In my case, that was not true. My piercing healed without infection, and I was happy with my choice. Six months later, once my piercing had fully healed, I wanted to upgrade my jewelry and visited Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing. The difference in customer service was night and day. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional. They answered my questions without judgment, made me feel comfortable, and provided a much more positive experience overall. I was also surprised to find that both their piercing services and jewelry were approximately half the price of what I had been quoted at Eddie's. On top of that, Platinum Ink accepts multiple forms of payment, including credit cards and Apple Pay, and they welcome walk-ins, making the entire process much more convenient. I cannot speak to the quality of the tattoo work here since I only received a piercing. However, based on my personal experience, I would choose Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing without hesitation. Customer service, professionalism, and making clients feel comfortable should be a priority, and unfortunately that was not my experience here.

I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.
