    I have given Johnny multiple tasks on his art work. He always goes up and beyond my expectations. If your looking for a great artist at Venice. Look him up. U won't be disapointed.Thank you Johnny!!

    I was extremely satisfied with the tattoos. I got here! Located right on the Venice beach boardwalk, their prices are very affordable! Johnny Tijuana was my tattoo artist, and he was very friendly, and did a great job! I'll definitely be back again for more! Highly recommended, easy walk in, no appointments needed!

    My husband passed away a few weeks ago and I wanted to get a small tribute to him. Back in the day he played football so I got his Jersey number. This was before cell phones so when he would page me all he needed to do was put in his double didget number and I knew to call him back. His Sister and I came down here and saw Jay. Who happened to be someone Charlie coached football to. What I liked was Jay got to know us before he gave us our ink. And he's a talker forsure. Jay knew I was kind of uneasy about getting a tattoo. He made sure I didnt steer away from my original plan and just got the number. Very small, very girlie. As we were talking two of my husband's and mine random songs, very random songs happened to play. My tattoo is just a special number towards the bottom of my ankle. It was perfect for me. It was exactly what I wanted. Located smack in the middle of Venice where all the excitement happens. I guess they call it a boardwalk but it's not really a boardwalk. Parking is hard, if your lucky you will get street parking. If not then you can park in a $10 lot. Anyways if looking for ink this place is cool. They close early though at 7:00pm.

    Great bunch of guys that are friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are competitive and the artists keep their work stations clean and sterile. They take walk-ins and appointments as needed. With many other shops located nearby this spot stands on top. If your looking for good quality art work stop here and give them a try.

    quality over quantity you can go to a 1000 parlors but you won't get an experience like buzzbomb @ venice beach !!!!! shoutout to joe, caesar, danier for my work.

    I've gotten 3 of 4 tattoos from this place and I've never been disappointed! Benji did an amazing job on my last one and I'm absolutely in love with it. He did a great job with drawing out exactly what I wanted and making sure I was happy! Definitely recommend this place and Benji!

    Okay to preface this: I knew what I was getting myself into. This shop definitely isn't the most professional piercers around and the jewelry they have is low quality. The ends of my septum ring kept falling out so I ended up buying a new piece of jewelry and changing it just about a week after I got the piercing, which was not ideal but I also could not get the jewelry to stay together. The piercings still healed fine (mine and my friend's), but I have now been told at piercing shops that the placement of my septum is so crooked that if I want the look of tight, straight hanging jewelry I will need to re-pierce it (which is still possible because the original piercing is so far back/down in my septum). I wouldn't say not to go here, but just know what you're getting yourself into.

    William did my tattoo and he was cool quiet and worked really fast. He gave me exactly what I showed him and the tattoo was as painless as it could be for getting a tattoo, the eyes and nose can use some more he because my skin still peeks through but I couldn't be happier. Whenever I'm in Venice and feeling spontaneous again, he'lll be my guy

    WILLIAM IS THE BEST!

    William, he did such an amazing job! Gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. He was so quick and my tattoos look beautiful! I definitely recommend going to him!!

Cleanliness is a top priority and is taken very seriously (as it should be, but wow they are great). The whole shop is clean, so cute, and welcoming. So many details have been so well thought out. The aftercare instructions delivered on a custom made card, the beautiful selection of high quality jewelry, there aren't enough good things I can say about this place. Alejandra and Niche (maybe Eli too? Not sure, I had very specific needs and did a lot of calling) helped make sure I got the appointment properly scheduled and helped communicate an extreme needle phobia to the piercers Amber and (shop owner) Tidus who did a tandem piercing to get it over with quickly. I highly recommend this spot in general and for kids or adults with needle sensitivity/phobia. Huge thank you to my favorite piercing shop in LA/Santa Monica!!

    I'm sure they do good work and maybe this was a one off, but this was my experience…read more Popped in today 5/24/2026 around 3 pm to replace a lost 16 gauge segment/seemless/clicker ring for recently pierced upper/2nd lobe. The person assigned to assist me (I don't recall names/faces well) put the new segment/seemless/clicker ring in the lower lobe/1st instead of the upper/2nd lobe spot. I don't now how they missed the 2nd lobe because I had a light blue plastic place holder in the 2nd lobe so it wouldn't close up, we talked about it to confirm which one it was, and they saw me take the blue plastic out. Yes, I should have asked for a mirror once they finished to confirm they did it correctly but I trusted they knew what they were doing. I didn't notice, my friend pointed it out a bit after I left the shop, my friend moved it into the correct spot for me. Customer service was normal when I first went in but I didn't feel like driving back, finding parking, and blah blah blah over this. Think this was the breakdown, they didn't provide a receipt and I paid cash. Cost was $30 for the sterilized segment ring, $5 for the service, and I gave a $5 tip.

    I had gone to the Mejuri store at The Americana in December 2025 since they were doing free…read morepiercings. You had to buy their earrings which were $100+ per stud. That location has temporarily closed down their piercing studio and the only one with a piercing professional was this Venice location. They have a post-piercing follow-up service to change out the post to a shorter one 6-8 weeks after you had your piercing. Parking - OMG. Impossible as it's street parking. Give yourself 30-40 mins minimum to find a spot!! Store - it's located at the edge of the main Abbott Kinney rows of stores. Clean, bright, lots of employees helping customers. It's Valentine's Day so it's busy busy! Piercing Studio - Marley was FANTASTIC! I was late to my appt by an hour - traffic horrific & parking horrendous. However, Marley gave up her lunch break to accommodate me. She explained clearly what she was going to do at this follow-up. It was to replace the flat back to a shorter one since it's healing well. It took less than 3 mins & no pain or tugging. Marley told me The Americana location is hiring a new piercing professional & Piercing Studio will reopen ver soon! Overall, I would recommend any Mejuri location as customer service is top notch! Their jewelry is modern & has clean, crisp look to them. Not that affordable but they do have some pieces that even I can afford. LOL!

We didn't have an appointment, but the front staff was incredibly accommodating and got all three of us set up for piercings without any hassle. Two of my friends got helix piercings, and I went for three, a hidden helix, high midi helix, and a conch. The entire team had such positive energy, and the vibe in the shop was honestly amazing. Everyone was so sweet and made the experience really fun. My piercer, Gia, was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to cleanliness and sterile technique. As a nurse, I pay close attention to hygiene, and I was really impressed. She even re cleaned my ears after I accidentally touched them before piercing. That level of care meant a lot to me. We all left smiling, feeling great, and with some new sparkle in our ears. I highly recommend this location and especially Gia if you are thinking about getting pierced!

The process was smooth and fast, he confirmed the spots before I get pierced. I chose Studs because they offer flat-back screw for their earrings and use piercing needles manually instead of a piercing device. So the healing is better comparing to using a piercing gun. This place is definitely on the pricey side, especially their jewelries. I personally wouldn't get my jewellery here, I'm just here for the piercing and got a titanium stud for now. Will get my proper studs elsewhere.

However, the staff are unfriendly and seem to be "too cool" for everyone else. Feels like snobby high school popular girls who judge you and have better things to do with their time. I was asking help on which piercing to get, and they kept chatting amongst themselves despite my presence being known. Another time, I went in to get downsize, and the young woman said she'd only give it to me for free based on when I got pierced, but that she'd need to make a note otherwise the manager would go "what the hell", and she said this as if it were a huge inconvenience and my fault. A snobby and condescending attitude. I don't feel comfortable going back, seems like they just want your money. Not friendly or cordial, clearly just want to sell things.
