Got my tattoo by mars @acidcasual.tattoo overall wonderful experience and great vibe. Mars & the cryptid inc crew made me feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the duration of the tattoo. I gave Mars a general idea of what i wanted and they went ahead and embellished the piece beyond my expectations. I love my tattoo and i am forever thankful to Mars for making my first tattoo experience and memorable one. (':

I've been tattooed by Mars a few times now & my experience with her is unmatched. If you want someone who is super accommodating, grounded, and talented I highly recommend her

NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME I love Cryptid Ink especially my tattoo artist Nyla (aka sntnanyla.ink on insta) not only is she an amazing tattoo artist just an amazing human being, but overall easy to talk to She always makes sure that her clients are comfortable and very respectful and most of all my favorite part super funny I have six tattoos from Nyla and safe to say I'm not done. She knows exactly how to bring my ideas to life there has not been a single tattoo that I have not absolutely fallen in love with she is super understanding definitely recommend hitting her up if you are looking for somebody with an overall just amazing personality and even more amazing work

I haven't had a tattoo in 3 years so I was nervous at first, but Nyla was the sweetest and made me feel so comfortable. She had the lightest hand because I felt no pain! I gave her such a vague description of what I wanted & when I got there, had exactly what I thought in my head! All the tattoo artists were so nice and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and get another one. Thanks again Nyla for not only the tattoo, but for recommendations on things! Girl you're the best!

First, we love Nyla. Check out her insta @sntnanyla.ink My experience at Cryptid was amazing. I grew up in the area and my oldest son lives out there. I flew in from Washington twice and got work done by Nyla. My son also got his first tattoo from Nyla. She is professional, honest, communicative, and incredibly talented. Her taste in music is pretty damn good too. My only complaint is that I live so far away! I highly recommend her. The whole process was awesome and felt more collaborative than artist directed. She has great ideas too. I get compliments from other tattoo artists and random people daily. Nothing but love for her and everyone I have interacted with over there.

Definitely recommend getting tattooed at this place! Very chill and super clean environment. I got tattooed by Ryan (@ryan._.burger on Instagram) and really enjoyed the experience at this shop! It's a relaxing environment and I got to pick what movies to watch during the tattoo. The tattoo I got looks fantastic and it was an overall great experience. If you're considering getting tattooed here, I'd say do it. I'll be going back for sure! Update: added healed photos

I have been going here for a little over a year for all of my tattoos! Nyla (@sntnanyla.ink on insta) is so so talented and so kind. She works with you and makes sure you get exactly what you want and does exceptionally quality work! I won't be seeing anyone else for my tattoos!

I came to cryptid for the first time a few weeks ago to get my tattoo done by Mars. She, along with the other tattoo artists, made me feel welcomed and made the entire experience very comfortable as my tattoo lasted several hours. Her attention to detail is amazing! My tattoo is all healed now and looks great. I came to her with a vision and she went above and beyond. I receive so many compliments!. I am def going back for more

Absolutely love this studio. The vibe, the location, the lighting and the staff are all so so so amazing. I've gotten three different tattoos from Maria (Mars aka @acidcasual.tattoo on insta) and she always makes the sessions so comfortable and fun! Absolutely insane artist as well. Her linework and artistic ability is beyond perfect. And the fact that its women owned and operated is just *chefs kiss*

Jaybee V.

I've been getting my tattoos done by Veronica for a while now and she does amazing work every time I see her! She's super cool and definitely chill to hang out with and talk to for hours while she's working on me. I went to see her recently for a new arm piece at Cryptid Ink and the shop itself is littered with a variety of cool artwork all over the walls. The artists definitely know their stuff and the welcoming atmosphere makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place! 5/5

hi everyone. this is a review for sntnanyla.ink (nyla)! i discovered cryptid ink through the owner kaitlyn's page a few years ago and have been working with nyla since june 2023 when she completed my "333" as a part of a flash deal. booking with her was a breeze, where she explained her non-refundable deposit policy to secure the appointment/time and that it goes toward the total cost of your tattoo. my first impression was that the shop is clean, comfortable, and very cute! you can tell there's a lot of love put into their craft/overall experience for the client. there's so much diversity with what everyone offers stylistically so there's something for everyone! nyla was (and still is) super sweet and professional. my first tattoo that she completed healed PERFECTLY. my experience with her was so overwhelmingly positive that i decided to work with her moving forward on a full body piece that i wanted to design with my artist. this was a multi session, wrap around laurel wreath that extends from my right arm/shoulder, wraps across my back and thigh, extends onto my ribs, and then down my entire left leg. this took five very long sessions to complete. some of them lasting three to eight hours. nyla hand drew my entire design of each section of my vines/leaves EVERY session. throughout this process, nyla was incredibly accommodating and transparent with pricing. safe to say, i am incredibly satisfied with my experience working with her and cannot wait to work with her moving forward on future tattoos.

Everyone is so nice and kind. my piece took about 4-5 hours and it was a very clean and warm environment. especially for my first tattoo. definitely working on some future pieces here by Nyla. She really made my piece as amazing as i imagined. I'm definitely getting loads more done at this location. Hopefully by other artists that are just as amazing as nyla. But for sure can't complain. There are some very talented artists . All love for Cryptid Ink

I've been to quite a few shops before this one and I knew immediately I'd be coming back here forever! Nyla is the best ever! She is insanely creative and makes all of my tattoo dreams come true. Can't recommend her enough!

Had a great experience at Cryptid Ink! I was looking for a place in the area to get my next tattoo and this place was recommended by my friend. After looking at the shop and their artists' work on Instagram, I decided to reach out to Dannon. I loved her style and several of her pieces spoke to me! I wanted a cute snake with a cowboy hat on, and Dannon nailed it. It was exactly the vibe I was going for and turned out great! The shop is in downtown Santa Ana, it's woman owned, and has some great artists that have space there. Great vibe, very friendly. I would definitely recommend checking the shop out and especially checking out Dannon's work on IG (@dannonphantom) read more

Joe Hultman has always responded enthusiastically to any request I've made for my next tattoo. This time was no exception. One of my third grade students from last year gave me a farewell card that I was completely captivated with. This is the work of an eight year old boy, mind you. Today, Joe made it permanent for me and he nailed it. Perfectly The pictures tell the story. Joe is one of the owners of Bemidji's newest tattoo shop, Cryptid Tattoos. The shop is fantastic. Spacious, clean, comfortable, and welcoming. And at a convenient, quiet spot on the edge of downtown B-town. Cryptid has everything you'd like a tattoo shop to have. that can't be said for all of them. Total class. it's a beautiful thing he and his partner are doing for the Bemidji inked. I recommend Cryptid and Joe to anyone. Bless them! read more

I've been to Cryptid Ink three times now and only get tattooed by Katelynn. She is amazingly talented, especially for someone so young! Her fine line work is phenomenal, and the reason I keep coming back to get tattooed by her. I often feel bad when getting a new tattoo, because I make several requests to change something here or there, and I know each minute is valuable in every session. Katelynn, however, is always very patient and accommodating, ensuring she wants me to be completely satisfied with what I am getting. She is a sweetheart, and I highly recommend getting your next tattoo with her!! Oh, and she has a cute little surprise for her clients at the end of every session! read more

Couldn't be more happy with our first tattoo experience with Cryptid Ink! Have heard a lot about this place and many friends have had great experiences so wifey and I decided to just go on a whim for their Walk In Wednesdays and had a great experience. Immediately walking in, we were greeted and asked what we're thinking about getting done. Gotta give Yaz a special shout out for walking us through tattoo placements, different sizes and making the tattoo we wanted come to life. This place had a cool vibe and they are all very welcoming. Come check them out, and follow their social media too, take a look at their great work. Come check this place out! read more

She even had me come in for a quick, in-person consultation beforehand, which was fantastic because it made collaborating and aligning our visions face-to-face so much easier. On the day of the session, the process was amazing. MJ constantly checked in to ensure I was comfortable. She has a remarkably light hand, there were moments where it felt like nothing at all.

I was really nervous about choosing an artist, but Nathan was responsive and ready to answer my questions! I saw his style a few years ago on Instagram and seemed to be the exact style I was looking for. I was just nervous that maybe the photos are retouched or edited (had a bad experience in the past), but I was 100% wrong. IN PERSON, the tattoos I received stand out amongst all of my other pieces (the contrast/the bold sharp lines). His tattoos are DARK & have a high attention to detail making it even better close up. I booked him a second time about 8 months ago and again last month for a script and symbol and was blown away by his attention to detail. I asked him to make it look more "street" and he customized it to add the flair I asked for. Safe to say I've found my artist to finish my whole left leg (maybe my right arm when I'm done) He has his own flare and style and is an original artist that knows how to put together a canvas. I wasn't sure about the placement but after talking w Nathan he reassured me he can reprint and move it around without rushing. Every piece I've gotten from his has lasted longer than any other artist. Thanks again Nathan. You are THE HUMAN PRINTER. I can't wait for my next!

My husband and I took our baby and waited 30 min past the appointment time, but Danie never showed up. She did not even call the shop to let us know if she was running late or to postpone-- just didn't show up. What a flake, poor customer service here. Would not recommend. Edit to reply: No, I was not contacted whatsoever after the fact. I called for information and to set the appointment, in which nothing was ever mentioned about a deposit. I was there in person, at the appointment time, and again, nothing was mentioned about a deposit. Danie simply did not show up and didn't even communicate about it. Please train your staff better because they're only making you lose money with potential customers and making the shop look bad.

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.

He was super patient and made me feel really comfortable, even though I changed the placement like 4-5 times. He didn't seem annoyed at all and took his time making sure I liked how it looked. It was also pretty cheap compared to other places. Overall, really good experience and I'd definitely come back!!

Ive gone to many waxing studios around orange county; from sugaring studios to corporate waxing…read moresalons. Those places, even when I would consistently get wax, never had the consistent workers. I decided to try Sea Spa which is just a 5 minute drive fr my house here in GG! And i am so happy that I decided to do so. Nancy did my Brazilian and was very detail oriented and quick. She used the hot wax and paper method with small sections. I appreciate the small sections she did! The salon it self was very inviting, beautiful, and relaxing. They offer other services like body and scalp massages, mani and pedis, and even lash extensions and semi permanent makeup. Cannot wait to schedule my next session!

Fleur Nail Spa

This was my first time visiting Fleur Nail Spa, and I had a wonderful experience!…read more The spa is decorated so cute and has a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. As soon as I arrived, I was offered a beverage, which was a nice touch. Abby was my nail technician, and she did an amazing job! I showed her a picture of the nails I wanted, and she was able to replicate them perfectly. They came out exactly how I envisioned them. It was also my first time trying Gel-X nails, and I absolutely love them--I will definitely be getting Gel-X again! Crystal did my gel pedicure, and it also came out perfect. Both technicians were professional, friendly, and paid great attention to detail. I also loved their use of technology. The check-in process was simple, and I really appreciate that their system keeps track of your service history and the technicians you've seen. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and highly recommend Fleur Nail Spa. I will definitely be returning!

Unfortunately, the quality this time was very poor. I later found out they were not planning to charge me for the repair, but I was fully expecting to pay either way. It honestly felt like they did not put much effort into the service because it was going to be free. Instead of repairing the messy overflow into my cuticle, they gave me a buffer to repair myself. I still gave the nail tech a tip for her time. Very disappointed with the quality and experience. I may give them another try but it may take some time.

Excellent tattoo shop! Located in Santa Ana! I went to this tattoo parlor since I wanted to get a birthday tattoo done and I was a bit nervous since the design I was going to get was quite big. Elise made me feel comfy throughout the whole process and the environ ent was very clean and well kept. Also the staff was really friendly and there is a Starbucks right in front so you can also treat yourself as well. Overall the experience was great and I was asked comforted throughout the whole process. read more

I got a cool custom designed tattoo by Devon Rae @eyesaliva and had a great time in this clean, cozy tattoo shop. The healing process and ink retention was great and booking with her was really easy. She was very careful when tattooing me in a sensitive area above my belly, and was kind to notice when I needed a break or refreshments. The other artists were very kind and supportive of each other and made the whole vibe of this place even better! read more

Mars did my very first tattoo and the process was so simple and underwhelming! I was sent her instagram by a friend over a year ago who has gotten multiple pieces done by her, and one day I just decided to get one of her flash. She is so sweet and friendly and I will definitely be back for more pieces. Loved the setting and friendly environment of the tattoo shop and artists as well. read more

@sntnanyla.ink made my 1st tattoo experience an unforgettable one! She's so sweet and was very understanding of my worries. The overall vibe was so calming and pleasant due to her being super easygoing and keeping the music at a comfortable volume (she has very good taste btw). I cant wait to get more done by her, she's truly one of a kind:3 read more

Great experience! read more
