    Visit Nat! To get your piercings!!!! The store was clean, she sanitized after each client, recommend this shop. We absolutely love our piercings.

    Tattoo beginning

    I went in for my first tattoo, first: Nat at the front put me at ease not to be nervous and made sure when I filled out the waiver that I should eat something beforehand. Second: Neyla was my tattoo artist she did my tattoo from what was designed and planned, put me at ease and to relax and prepare for a 4 hour tattoo. Environment was relaxing chill and they were prepared and courteous. I have other plans for tattoos and plan to come back for more

    A friend and I came in for a couple piercings. Walking in was impressed. I don't think there is a speck of dirt in this place. Super good vibes. Good music. The piercer took her time and made sure everything was perfect. They do take walk ins. Definitely recommend this place. I'll be going back soon.

    Flew in for work from the East Coast and they found some time on the schedule for me. The shop is extremely clean, comfortable, and professional. The designer helped me transform reference image into something 10x better than I was imagining. Alec brought it to life incredibly. The precision and detail are executed exceptionally. I'll be back for sure! The picture is immediately after, so I'm so it will look even better in the coming weeks...

    Vibes were immaculate The tattoo artists were just so cool and helped make my experience great. I came for a Friday 13th deal and they were great! They treated us all like full paying customers and helped talk us through which ones would look good. All the staff was great. Alec did my tattoo and was so light handed and quick. Loved how delicate the lines came out. Parking in the back, don't be a lazy and try and park in the front like I did.

    First time here and I loved it, Nelya is a great artist! My tattoos look amazing! This place gives such a pretty vibe, the artist are really nice and for a Halloween event the price was nice. Thank guys for a first great impression and thank Nelya for my tattoos.

    Left outer forearm tattoo

    Working on a sleeve to represent my career. I am traveling here for work and found Cleopatra ink tattoo and met with Firat who set me up with a free consultation to design my idea. I was only in town for 1 week and he was able to get my idea on paper and fit me into this artist schedule. The vibe of the shop was very comfortable and modern and super clean. When I arrived for my appointment I was promptly greeted and over project time was not lot long. I am highly satisfied with the service and quality of my tattoo.

    Best piercing experience i've ever had with Nat! She is super knowledgeable and Will check your ear to make sure a piercing is right for you- she saw a piercing i had gotten ~2.5 years ago was not properly pierced and helped remove it. A super friendly and clean space- Menu price includes the earrings. Will definitely come again!

    Maddy R.

    Been here twice now and Nat is great. Had 3 cartilage piercings, x2 second lobes for new jewelry, and a tragus and all have had minimal swelling and great healing time. Can't wait to come back for the next time I get a piercing itch. Thanks Nat!

    Went in explained what I wanted and they designed it perfectly and was tattooed same day. I love it!

    Ask the Community - Cleopatra Ink Tattoo & Piercing Orange County Studio

    Do you guys do temporary tattoos ?, l get nervous about permanent ones!

    Unfortunately we don’t offer temporary tattoos

    Has anyone ever had an allergic reaction to tattoo ink? I have allergies and am just curious.

    I personally had no allergic reaction, it varies from person to person . I'm sorry I can't give you a clear answer in general but my own.

    Do you do cover ups?

    Yes we do!

    Hi Emil, i have a tiger tattoo on left arm that i would like to have more color make it better. Is that something you may help with?

    Hi, yes we can do that! We have a designer at the studio that can take a look at your previous tattoo and determine how to touch it up 💛 Our artists can then retouch it for you!

    Do they take credit card? Or only cash?

    We accept cash and card :)

    I hate to misspell and forget names, but Cat (my piercer) and a blonde sales associate with the…read moremost beautiful purple crystal earlobe gauges helped me out last week to find a glass retainer for work (I'm so sorry I forgot your name if you're reading this). I made a call during my break and was immediately given an appointment, they were so accommodating and patient with me when I came in and gave me different options for more conservative jewelry for work. And bless both of their souls, they stayed a little bit past closing and didn't pressure me into buying something I wasn't sure would be approved. Also, Cat did an awesome job when I first got my piercings with my boyfriend, he now has a nostril ring and I have a vertical labret which we got done about 3 years ago on our first Christmas together. Both have healed wonderfully, especially given the sensitive area mine is in. And mind you, I STRUGGLED to take my jewelry off, I used gloves, bare *washed* hands, and even a paper towel to try and take off my previous bar and when it was switched, it was so effortless and painless, I almost didn't tell when the retainer went in. Barbella studios is kind enough to let you know when a piercing won't work (was advised that a brow piercing is a no-go but the vertical labret was perfect), humorous when they give you aftercare advice so you'll for sure remember, and most importantly are clean, careful, and mindful for their client's safety and budget. Getting pierced by a professional will range widely in price no matter where you go, but with their experience, advice, cleanliness, and support, just know you can never go wrong with this studio. Sure, it may be a little pricey, but that price comes with a lot of accuracy to ensure your body is pierced properly, and has suitable jewelry for the healing and movement your body goes through. It's worth investing in the best if you want the best for yourself

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.

Mason helped me again today when I couldn't get my navel piercing put back in. I had left my jewelry out for a week and I couldn't install it into the piercing by myself because the piercing had collapsed and trying to put the a piece in was painful, really tight, and dangerous to do by myself. They walked me through the process and were able to quickly and sanitarily install a piece into my piercing using a tapered tool. Once again, he made me feel very comfortable with knowing what to expect and making it happen as painlessly as possible.

It was a little out of the way and was super expensive so I searched around Yelp to see which ones nearby use needles and saw Paradigm's account. After seeing their straightforward pricing on their webpage, we decided to give them a try. Since our daughter was under 11 months old, we called ahead and were thoroughly informed about what to expect. Pediatric piercings are done on Sundays, which worked perfectly for our schedules. Her pricing already includes the earrings, which was a plus. The entire experience was thoughtful and professional. She first applied numbing cream and let it sit for about 20 minutes. She then placed a headband on our daughter to keep her hair out of the way, carefully marked both ears, and had us verify that the placement looked even before proceeding. Our daughter cried at first, which is to be expected, but once she saw her reflection afterward, she smiled! We really appreciated how gentle, patient, and detail-oriented she was throughout the process. It made what could have been a stressful experience much easier for both baby and parents.
