I almost never leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. I've been to many different…read morepiercers but no one compares to Allen. I came in with an irritation bump on my forward helix (my own fault for trying to take it out myself) and he helped me remove it for an MRI I have coming up. I've been here before as well and he's always been so extremely kind and caring. It's so hard to find someone that is genuinely knowledgeable about piercings and truly cares about the customer, so I'm beyond lucky to have met Allen. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend!

My second time back at Aura Piercing & Fine Jewelry and I'm as pleased as ever…read more I came into the shop because some of my previously purchased jewelry from another retailer fell out and I lost the flat backs. I came into the shop as a Hail Mary just to see if they carried something that would fit the studs I already owned. Not only was Allen able to help me and replace the flat backs on my existing jewelry, he also informed me that my naval piercing that fell out months ago wasn't closed. Instead of having to re-pierce Allen advised me all I needed to do was buy or bring in jewelry and he'd insert it for me. I love the honesty and how helpful Allen was! His advice saved me some coin and I'm so grateful this isn't a money grabbing establishment. This is my now my go-to spot!

Shout out to studio city tattoo for taking a painful, hard day and turning it into a memorable…read morespecial day for my wife. It's the first Mother's Day without her mom and with SAWOOLI and other staff at Studio City Tattoo help we were able to help make a sad day slightly better. The environment felt safe and comfortable enough allowing her to grieve while we waited for SAWOOLI to get the tattoos ready. Thanks again to everyone there this morning. Meant a lot to her. She walked in sad w her head down and walked out smiling and head held high. Made a huge difference

The customer service here is AWFUL! The lady dressed in black who sits behind the register and is…read moreon her phone while people need help has no basic knowledge about the jewelry policies at this shop. My partner and I came in to return a jewelry piece he surprised me with as a gift. I didn't even open the clear jewelry case since I immediately knew this septum ring was too large for me to wear. We clearly told the lady behind the register that we were there to exchange or return the piece. She tells us to wait for the piercer since others were waiting ahead of us. After waiting for over a half hour, I asked again, "do we really have to wait for the piercer to return this piece???" She said the piercer handles the jewelry. We were there for a total of at least 50 minutes! The piercer finally comes to us and tells us that jewelry cannot be returned after it leaves the shop. Why didn't the lady sitting behind the register give us this information as soon as we told her why we came in to the shop, instead of making us wait for almost an hour to just be extremely disappointed after speaking with the piercer? This place sucks, no respect and no consideration for patrons' valuable time. I have never been to a tattoo and piercing shop where the person at the register doesn't have basic knowledge on the shop's jewelry "policies" Back story: my partner goes in to this shop to surprise me with a septum ring. Another piercer helps him with picking out the jewelry. Bless my partner's heart but he knows nothing about piercings. He shows the piercer a photo of what I usually wear and somehow they pick out a piece that's triple the size of what I wear. The piercer never told my partner that jewelry is final sale. This place is an absolute disappointment and not helpful at all! Buy your jewelry somewhere else and go to a shop where everyone in the establishment values you as a customer!

I recently had a session with Aya at Costello Tattoo for a custom Goddess Isis tricep wrap, and the…read moreexperience was 10/10. From the jump, the shop vibes were professional and clean, which is huge for me working in the medical field. Aya is a true specialist. I was looking for high-level fine line work and she absolutely delivered on the detail and shading. She really understood the vision I had for this piece as a symbol of my career transition and personal growth. The placement fits my physique perfectly and the healing process has been smooth thanks to her solid aftercare instructions. If you're looking for a top-tier artist in LA who handles custom work with precision, book with Aya! :)

We got here and was welcomed by Jazmine who set us up with all the tatts we wanted and some custom ones to to her style and we loved every bit of them. For a small but very humble and friendly shop was more like being family and friends while being there for 2 days getting work done. Everyone is chill including the owner herself and everyone else that we met there. Probably the most enjoyful tatt experience I've had in a long time and I will be coming back when I go back out there. With Westside having a light hand I felt almost nothing while getting my arm done and most of us felt almost nothing. For those of us whom was on their first tattoo got reassured and made sure was ok as the piece was being done. I respect this heavily as a lot of places do not do this anymore. Time was taken and all came out beautifully exactly how we wanted the pieces to be. We even got a few of their flash sale tatts done. We locked in and so did they! If you havnt't already been here I recommend going on a heavy note. Check in and talk to them and get some work done it's worth it! Thank yall for the great experience given to my family!

I went in for a Septum piercing and was so terrified that I went in the day before just to ask…read morequestions and look at the jewelry. Marv, one of the piercers, was there and not only was he incredibly reassuring, but he was also hilarious. I got no sleep the night before because I was so scared it was gonna be so painful. But, he, again, reassured me by letting me know that this is the piercing that put him on the map. So when it finally came time, he did it so fast that all I felt was a slight pinch. It did not hurt much AT ALL. A 2 outta 10 I would say. Anyway, if you are in the area and want to get a piercing, Marv's your guy!

Tattoo artist review only. Christina Hock tattooed me 3 different times. She's a good tracer... but…read moreshe goes WAY too deep!!! This isn't something that can be expressed immediately because obviously you need a little time to see the tattoo set. I got all 3 tattoos within the same year & they are ALL blown out now. You can't even make out what they're supposed to be and there is literally no detail left at all. Just really fat, thick, blown out lines. It's a horrible thing to discover outside of a reasonable time to complain, but for all of you potential customers, I would steer clear. All 3 tattoos are unidentifiable at this point & I have 4 other from a different artist from years before hers that still look bold and clear. Just a warning... i'm sure most people just chalk it up as a loss by the time they see their ink spreading but for me to have gone through it three times and now be stuck with three horrible tattoos I think it's worth mentioning. Also! Never... ever let an artist working on you without a price set ahead of time. I made this mistake of letting on of their artists work on me without a set price who turned a 6 hour $1000 tattoo into a grueling $3400 18hours using a ridiculously time consuming method of solid black fill while getting stoned every session. Real pros here.

I pay for parking and walk over a few minutes later and they tell me a group just walked in and I'll have to wait 15 minutes, which was annoying bc I feel like they should have told them they have someone coming in already. Anyway, I wait in their waiting room for 35 minutes and no one comes out to update me. I only paid for 30 minutes of parking so I told them never mind and just left. What a waste of time.

I just got my septum pierced with Bruce over the weekend and it was a wonderful experience…read more The pricing was extremely transparent and reasonable. I was really nervous after having a horrible first time septum piercing where the piercer pierced my septum crooked, hit the cartilage and then blamed my nose shape. I've wanted a cartilage for quite some time so I decided to get a second opinion and I'm really glad I did. Bruce was extremely knowledgeable and re-assuring. He took a look and told me I could probably get one but he would verify once he was able to check my nose. He was able to immediately determine the septum spot was higher up. The pain was extremely minimal. I really appreciated that Bruce walked me through every step of the process. I'll definitely be back.
