The shop is always empty, so you'll never have to have wait in line long. Like ever. But- You're going to have a horrible time unless you speak Spanish because if you don't look bilingual, then the receptionist/tattoo artists will casually talk s*** about you in front of your face in Spanish. Got two torso tattoos here. First time I went, some skinny dude in thick glasses tried to overcharge me on the quote, went to another artist on a different day for the same tattoo plus another and got priced over $100 less. The tattoo artist pressed extra hard & only stopped when i looked down at him. The receptionist kept hovering over us, making weird faces and comments. When it was over, I walked to the counter to look at piercings, she tried to make awkward small talk with me to the point where the tattoo artist actually had to come over, audibly whisper & tell her "he knows you're f***ing with him" to get her to stop being weird and sarcastic. One of the socially most uncomfortable experiences I've ever been through while getting a tattoo. I wouldn't even send my enemies here. read more

I really love this place I got my anti eyebrow and nose piercing here and they are really sanitary! The only problem was that on my nose piercing I got a bump but it's my fault because I didn't clean it right but overall this place is a 9/10 read more

DO NOT GO! Tried getting my septum pi there, the lady (piercer) was doing evrythjng wrong. she put the needle in too low. not only that but she took out the needle before the adding the septum part. she manually tried putting it in on her own, she ended up damaging my septum and I left bleeding and shaking. she then tried to blame me because I was shaking. she did everything wrong! none of the workers told her what she did wrong and just watched, she tried doing that for more then 5 minutes before I told her to stop. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!! I got some hand tattoos that peeled a few days later, then when I asked the artist If she could tell me what ink was used due to my skin reactions she said it happens with all red ink but all my tattoos until now have been red and this was the first time I had a reaction I was GHOSTED!!!!! I call the shop and they send me to voicemail every time!!!! Please save yourself the head ache go somewhere else' the most unprofessional shop I've even gotten work with. read more

NEVER GO HERE FOR PIERCINGS Went here to get my eyebrow re pierced after the piercing had fallen out while i was sleeping. Whatever bar the piercer used was way too thick. She forced the new piercing in further ripping my eyebrow and barely leaving any skin remaining between the two wholes of the piercing. My piercing looked NOTHING like this before she had extended the whole twice as much. She then warned me that it was barely hanging on . I wish the piercer just told me no because i had no idea how thick the piercing was compared to my whole. It should not be my job to figure that out. The piercing has now ripped out the skin in between and is gonna leave a permanent scar on my face. Don't go here they have cheap piercings that they will make fit in ur face instead of just explaining to you it's not possible like a proffesional should. You ruined my fucking face when you could've just left it TOLD ME BEFORE IT WAS DAMAGED AND ALREADY IN MY FACE and let me go to a place with less thick piercing bars. read more

My best friend and I came here after looking on Yelp for some local places. We were in south la/huntington park area. We called ahead of time to make sure they could take us and they said they could. Parking is a bit rough, you need to find street and we went after 4pm so a lot was not available. We found some on Vermont for 1 hr. The shop was small, organized setup, clean and the prices were reasonable. Danny was the piercer who helped us out and he was a sweet guy, explained everything and was thorough. I got my ears done a 3rd time on my lobe and my friend got her lip. I went with Danny's recommendation for placement. He was super gentle, I didn't even feel it! Glad I found this place and I'd definitely come back for more piercings with Danny. read more

Female owned shop, gotta support! I did a walk in and had a tattoo in mind. "Lazy" the tattoo artist talked me through sizing and positioning of the tattoo. All in all great experience, reasonable prices (they accept cash and phone payments only) I will follow up on the thread in the coming weeks after the peeling/healing stage is complete. read more

This is my 2nd time getting a tattoo here and I am extremely pleased with the service and the quality of the tattoo. I did a walk-in this time so I did have to wait less than half an hour but the atmosphere of the place is really nice so I didn't mind the wait at all. The tattoo artist who did my tattoo was efficient and I loved the quality of the tattoo. Since my first tattoo here healed without any problems and still looks pretty, I'm sure this one will heal well too. Definitely try this place because both their price and the quality of the tattoo is amazing! read more

The environment in the shop was dope, I didn't feel out of place at all. Louie did tattoos on both of my arms which I love. He was super precise with the details and you can tell he really enjoys his job which made the time super enjoyable. I got my work done by Louie so I definitely recommend him and I'm sure the shop as a whole does great work as well. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE I wish I had read the Yelp reviews before going and saved myself the irritation. I only came here because it was kind close to campus but STAY AWAAAAAY 1. THEY WORK HIGH! I was there yesterday and their piercer was HIIIIIGH as a fucking kite, after showing up HOURS late. He literally couldn't even communicate properly. He couldn't do the work because he was so high and THEN refused to give me a refund. If there was a manager or someone who had some sense maybe it could've been resolved but it was clearly a old boys club where they cover for eachother no matter what. On TOP of being a damn on-the-job addict, this guy is a certified CREEP, commenting on womens bodies, saying inappropriate things, just living in the 1950s. Idk how long this place can or will stay open operating like this. If you've had issues, you can file a complaint with the CA department of public health. Just dial 2-1-1 and rhwhll take your complaint, send you an email confirmation, and they handle all the work for you. This place needs to be shut down! ** I wound up going to Somatic piercing in Long Beach and it was like a breath of fresh air. They use MUCH better quality jewelry(surgical grade), they're cool as hell, the shop is spotless and the staff are more than competent. They did the work NO PROBLEM and I was out the door in less than 10 minutes. read more

I really wanted to love this place but after getting my nose piercing and cleaning it properly, the hole got infected. Additionally, the shiny jewel fell out shortly after. I was also told that the size of the hole was too small for any standard nose stud. I decided to just let it close up :( read more

great spot for piercings with the gal in the front i have gotten multiple piercings with her . i got a really bad tattoo here years ago with a young latino guy but i met someone that i think will do a much better job there im looking forward to coming back read more

Honestly i liked this place because of the other times I've gone for a piercing but today I was very disappointed in how my experience went. I went in for a lip piercing and I was taken in the back to get it done, some guy didn't catch his name was doing my piercing and he went to go grab the jewel for me and came back with hoops, I've been told that a stud is better for lip piercings because of the healing process and because of the fact that it's straight and once you get a hoop it curves but he assured me as long as I clean it, it'll be fine. We get the needle through and everything is going fine but then he puts in the jewelry and it feels forced and I end up gushing out blood. I ask him to take it out and he does and while that's happening I'm still pouring out blood. It's about 3 napkins after that i stop gushing out blood and finally he goes to get an older guy from the front to come see or something. The older guy was asking the other guy to refund me my money but the guy just says no because of the fact that I had already gotten the piercing through. I understand about the policy of no refunds and how sometimes people don't like it and wanna take it out and wanna get a refund. But it wasn't my fault I started gushing out blood. I've gotten an eyebrow piercing with some very sweet girls but this guy just made me very disappointed honestly. (Update: after a few hours my inner lip is bruised and now i understand why I bled a lot. in picture shown the bottom is needle hole and on top there is a bruise. The jewelry was not inserted correctly.) read more

Love the mermaid I had done yesterday! Joe hooked it up and it came out proper! The best part is it barely hurt. I was a little nervous because there weren't a lot of color traditional style tattoos in the books but the artist was excited to do the piece and it really looks amazing. I have to admit the neighborhood looks a little sketchy but everything inside is totally on point. read more

I really like this place. Nice people. I came here for the first time in like 2007 to get a eye brie piercing. Since then there have been many changes. Today I went in to get a tattoo for the first time. To my surprise it didn't hurt much. Only at the end when he was doing the final touches. At the beginning I was very nervous because of a video I had seen. Then when I got to the shop their was a guy there who was getting a tattoo in the same place as I wanted to and he was crying. I got a little discourage but glad I got over it because I love my tattoo. read more

They are the worst!!! All the way around, from their customer service to the shop cleanliness to the horrible tattoo artist they have. I tried the shop because it's very close to my house, the first time I walked in i spoke to and older man. Which was not very helpful and made me feel like he did not care about getting my business. I first asked for the person that does the dermal piercings. They have a big sign that says "piercing" he said she's not there. Then I asked about tattoos, he was very cold and didn't seem friendly. He told me the lady that pierces will be back tomorrow. So I came back the next day. Only to find out she wasn't there again. So I came back third time, this time I talk to a younger male. I asked about the piercing again he said she wasn't there and basically she comes in when she feels like it, so they have no schedule to tell their customers. And that's what I really wanted to get done. Very unprofessional. So I also wanted just a simple 5 letter name. He told me he's a tattoo artist he was the only one there nobody else was there. So I asked him if he had nice handwriting, he told me he did. So I agreed to get the tattoo by him. I thought that he would trace the name and show me first, well he decided to do a free hand on my arm. I was uncomfortable with this but I assumed he knew what he was doing. When he first drew it on my arm it looked OK I was satisfied with it. As we got started he seemed like he a erased it and re drew it which I didn't get to see. So the final product looks like crap! He did not have good handwriting Like he told me! It's ugly and doesn't look good but you can barely tell I already had a tattoo there I just want to add my babies name to the tattoo. read more

This was my first visit here and I regret not listening to my friend and going somewhere else They are nice people and make you feel comfortable and that's why I gave them 1 star, if I could give it 0 i would have though. The girl that did my piercing seemed so rushed, she didn't even measure where the center is supposed to be and the piercing came out SO crooked, she struggled a bit when she tried getting the needle through and let it go for a bit, that's where I think the crookedness came from. She didn't even give me any advice at the end, just told me to use sea salt water to clean it and THAT'S IT. I'm really disappointed, I was supposed to love the piercing and now I'm too embarrassed to show anyone because the crookedness is very noticeable, my mother noticed it in one glance. read more

Nice and good looking shop i give them that bad by far the worst experience of my life walked in after coming to this shop a few times seemed like they stay busy but the decision i made that day wasnt the best i made my tattoo that i got at at this place didnt turn out like i expected not to mention my tattoo artist seemed like he didnt want to continue half way down the the tattoo at the end he did a few lines and turns out those lines he made end up becoming scars, i thought coy fish tattoo had higher expectations and took theyre time and atleast put some passion into theyre work thank you very much now i got a dam tattoo that is embarrassing to even show worst of all its on my hand smh -_- a 140$ tattoo thanks coy fish tattoo shop read more

Adam was very detailed. Enjoyed the experience of getting my first tattoo

Getting out of the car and walking down the street to this place, you might think it's shady. Which it is--the neighborhood, I mean. However, inside, the place seems very sterile, especially the piercing room. I came here with my friend to get our belly button piercings done and the lady piercing us was really nice and calming. We were so nervous but she talked us through it and I didn't feel a thing when she pierced me. The only thing I could say about my piercing is that it was a little crooked...which some people told me happens when the piercing is adjusting to your skin, but I couldn't help but seeing the crookedness all the time. My friend's piercing turned out great and she still has it today, without infection or anything. However, I stopped taking proper care of my piercing after about 9 months and it slowly came out of my skin! the piercing slid more and more out and eventually, the skin it was pierced through looked like it could break any day, so I just took the piercing out. It wasn't painful or anything, and I feel like it could've been better if I had just taken proper care of it. Overall, I like this place. They're sterile, really nice, and not expensive! read more

All the employees were really sweet & seemed genuinely interested in my life, which was cool. I came here to get a new stud for my nose, the only thing I'm somewhat un pleased with was their variety of metal. They only had sterling silver & while I strictly use sterling silver for my ears, I'm scared of how my nose with react. But I have no choice since this is the only shop within 2 miles of my place & walking further would be stupid. Otherwise, the piercer put my jewelry in for free basically & the stud was only $5, I tipped $3 & would done more if I wasn't a starving college student & that wasn't my last $8.... Anyway, really sweet lady! If I don't have a reaction I'll come back for more read more
