    The poppy was already there and I had the ladybug added

    The guys were quick and friendly every step of the process, thorough in answering questions, and my tattoo is exactly what I wanted! I would have thought their prices would be insane for the location but they're completely reasonable for the service. Loved the space too! Clean and stylish. The tattoo itself turned out great! I'm so happy with it and will be back.

    here's a pic of the back

    Came in to get help reinserting jewelry in my double helix piercings and to get professional advice on jewelry that's easy to remove for medical reasons. Have done it with other piercers before with my conch and it went smoothly. I guess my lucked ran out. The piercer was dismissive and rushed me, but TBH I was willing to overlook the attitude as long as the work was done right. We went with a clasped hoop since it's easier for me to take out. The top piercing went in fine. For the bottom, he said it had closed and needed to be repierced -- okay, fair enough. at this point I just assumed he was gonna go the same way and just open it up again. But when I got home, I realized he had completely changed the placement, and I found out that for fresh piercings, you shouldn't be putting a hoop and make it so snug cause you need room for swelling, I'm a bit frustrated that a professional piercer didn't warn me or think of that when he chose to pierce me. Just no communications at all. Should've at least changed the jewelry right? From past experience with piercers, they walked me through the placement before piercing but he just went and did it. Honeslty was really traumatizing. I'm going to another piercer to get these taken out cause they're swelling and aching, and my ears are bending bc of how snug the earrings are. I came in trusting a professional to guide me, especially given my medical needs around jewelry removal. The lack of communication about changing the placement and not following aftercare best practices for a fresh piercing is what really gets me. Not a great experience. Very traumatizing.

    I've been afraid of needles my entire life, so getting a tattoo was something I never thought I'd actually do. But after attending a transformative retreat, I finally had the courage to get one -- and not just one, but two! From the moment I walked into Cleopatra Ink, I knew it was meant to be. By total coincidence, I ran into a friend who had the same idea -- we both showed up at the exact same time without knowing the other was coming. Later that same day, another friend of ours came back to get a tattoo too. It honestly felt like the universe was giving me a little wink. The staff was so warm and welcoming. They made us Turkish coffee, shared stories about their culture, and created such a comfortable, friendly atmosphere that it felt like we were hanging out with old friends. The whole process was quick, painless (less than 20 minutes!), and surprisingly peaceful. I left with two meaningful tattoos that I absolutely love -- and now I'm already thinking about what I want next. If you've ever been scared or hesitant, this is your sign. Cleopatra Ink made my very first tattoo experience unforgettable.

    Today, right after removing. You can see the piercing was not even in my navel

    I got my navel pierced by Oguz on 12/20/26, but I just had to take it out because it was done so poorly. It was way too shallow, basically on the surface of my stomach rather than in my belly button causing it to constantly get caught on everything. Another piercer confirmed that no matter what jewelry I used, it would never heal correctly. The service was also a huge red flag. Oguz barely spoke to me. He just told me to keep my hands at my sides and didn't explain a thing. When he finished, he didn't even say anything, he just held up his hands to show he was done.

    Ozzy pierced my belly twice and did a great job both times! I am so glad he was the one to pierce me, he is super professional and friendly. The first time I pierced it, it was painless and went very well. I needed it repierced a month later because it fell out, but Ozzy repierced it for me. I am super happy and LOVE my belly piercing :)

    Although I wasn't completely sure about the design at first, the staff member explained everything clearly. Bek did an incredible job, and I've already received many compliments. Thanks to the whole team. I'll definitely recommend this place and will be back.

    Amazing experience. I came for my first piece, and they made me feel comfortable the entire time. I think my tattoo looks amazing! It was powerful, well placed, and and even better executed l executed. Remzi did an incredible job, and I'll definitely come back for my next piece.

    Visiting SF for a week and wanted a tattoo really badly. Stumbled upon this shop by Fisherman's Wharf and asked if they took walk-ins. They do!!! Very clean place, very friendly staff, very cute tattoo! Tattoo came out great!

    Emre helped me design this beautiful tattoo on my left shoulder blade from a song I absolutely love. Bek did my tattoo and he was super fast and completed everything within 2 hrs. He gave me two breaks of 10 mins and went back to work to complete this beautiful piece

    Amazing from start to finish! As my second tattoo, I've experienced various shops, artists and customer service. And Cleopatra Ink was a shot in the dark - seeing if they could reimagine my design.. As an artist myself, I also didn't want to be that annoying know it all prick and to let the artist do their thing to come out as a piece that was me and dedicated to the personal struggles I have gone through. And they did exactly that! (Tho if you're looking for a shop to hear your sob story for a long time this isn't the place for you.) I was a bit ambitious to suggest color and for the placement on my rib cage and def underestimated how long I would be sitting for or the pain... & ended up being around 6 1/2 hours. I ended up paying $$$ but it was worth it to have it reimagined and for the quality and care and service they gave to me. But why was also the best part getting told that I sat well and made the tattooist personally comfortable. Truly loved how it turned out in the end!! (Currently in the healing phase which is going well with no chopped up skin lines!) And highly recommend!! Artist: -Anastassiya Ozdemir @parrtridgee

    In the city this afternoon and decided to get some ink with my boyfriend Kevin! He did a little tribute tattoo for his dad and I did a script tattoo. Their minimum is 150 so my 2 line script was awesome and only 150 excluding tip for your artist of course!!! (Always tip your artists!) The vibe is prime! The music is upbeat to get some edge off their clients especially if it's their first which in this case it was Kevin's first. It helped that the music is very upbeat and lively. The Owner and the Tattoo Artists are also very cool and friendly and listens to you. The design edits were very straight forward. The tattoo artist that did my script was Memo and Kevin's was done by Essie and they were both awesome! The owner was such a vibe, I didn't get his name but shout out to him and his awesome personality, it made us comfortable especially it was Kevin's first time.

    DO NOT GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS…read more i want to preface this post that jake is not apart of the association of professional piercers (app) which should be the first red flag. since there are not a lot of regulations regarding piercings, i would suggest only going to one that is apart of the app because of their commitment and dedication to safety and sanitation standards. i am honestly disappointed having to write this review since i had high expectations given the other reviews. i got two piercings and one is healing well. however, the other one is not after getting it pierced nearly a month ago. i went in to have it looked at and the interaction was very unpleasant, giving me a reason to write this review. his first comment was "do you know how long it takes to heal" after asking if he would take a look at it. he then was gaslighting me saying i wasn't cleaning it and he would give me an aftercare sheet. he THEN proceeded to back out so quickly and said i needed to go to a doctor and he's just a piercer and it's unethical to give me medical advice LOL. he did not even try to help remedy my piercing at all. anyways i went to another piercer to get a second opinion and all that was needed was the correct jewelry for my anatomy. there was no infection, it was simply irritated. jake actin like i got some disease for real. disgusted by jake's customer service and unprofessional behavior given HE WAS THE ONE WHO PIERCED IT.

    I've been to this store a few times now and they have a great selection of jewelry…read more Over the weekend I came in to purchase a bracelet I was eyeing online and to get a permanent bracelet. They don't have any prices for their permanent bracelets so I had no idea what to expect but I knew I wanted 14k gold, and I was most interested in a Cuban chain. This could have been a case of miscommunication coupled with the fact I don't like confrontation, but when I asked about the price I swore I was told ~$250. That seemed reasonable to me, I've been looking into Cuban chains and that was the price point I was seeing for about that size in 14k. When it came to checkout the price was $2,450 for just the permanent bracelet.....I was in a rush and again, don't love confrontation, so I paid and left but I feel like I seriously over paid for this tiny light weight chain. I was planning on getting more bracelets and jewelry plus some new piercings but after this I don't know if I trust their prices. I think I may use them to find cool jewelers, but purchase elsewhere. It's my fault I didn't double check the price, I take ownership in that. I would just caution against the permanent jewelry, at least learn from my mistake and get the price in writing not just verbally. Update: wow that was a super fast response! They reached out to me after seeing my review. Thank you so much Nadia for your call. I can tell you all really care about your customers. Looking forward to coming back this weekend. Additional side notes, I really appreciate the care they put into fitting the jewelry for customers. I've also have had things shipped to me and their packaging is lovely with nice presentation. Even their shipping box feels lux. Those little details and the quick response to my post has brought me back around and I will absolutely be a repeat customer. Can't wait to get more unique jewelry and piercings with friends! :)

My…read morefirst lobe piercings have stretched with wear and time to the point that almost any earring looks like it will rip out of my earlobe. I arranged a consult with Ben, who asked detailed questions, assessed my current stack and suggested I had enough lobe health to do a piercing stacked on top of my first piercing. This will allow me to wear studs together or to wear a statement earring in the new hole without the issue of more stretching. He recommended jewelry options based on my style, then brought me back to do the piercing same-day (it was a Monday morning, so the store wasn't busy). He was meticulous in the setup and talked me through every step of the process. Easy and done. It's been two weeks and my new piercings are healing beautifully and I am already loving the placement and the options it affords me. When worn with earrings in my original first piercings, the two stacked together actually detract from the stretching. Ben is a total pro. If and when I get more piercings I absolutely will ask for him.
