[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere and friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Angela hooked it up with a beautiful and quick tat, for the walk-in.

Came in to have my daughter get her belly button pierced! What can i say!? EXCEPTIONAL service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was greeted at the door with GREAT service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Michelle took care of my daughter, who was a bit scared but she made sure that my daughter was in good hands.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She was clean, polite, and most importantly professional. Everything was sterile and clean. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Dota Ink for taking care of my kiddo!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]My first tattoo experience was so good! Thanks to Zil.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] She is relaxed, professional, skilled and detail oriented. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am very pleased with the results and already thinking about my next ink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parlour is cool and has a great vibe. Book with Zil, you will be happy.

Art did the filler tattoos of the hourglass with wings, the scythe, trowel and acacia leaves this session.

I went to Dotta Ink to see Art Gallardo. Cool shop. Clean, a bit gothic styled and nice and open. Art is known for his great American Traditional Style but is great at Black and Grey and other styles too. My favorite part about him is his custom work. He loves to draw on the client to make it fit the body and spaces so well. That's why I continue to see him. He has done cover ups, fillers and blast overs on me and I always get compliments. Dotta Ink is a cool spot located in Downey near Portos. Get a rad tattoo and then some awesome pastries next door. Everyone in the shop is so nice. It's awesome to find a welcoming tattoo studio.

Camilo did an amazing job with my daughter. She wanted her second earring on her lobe. He was very paciente and kind. Will definitely be back because he did a quality job!

Leslie (lilith_artjunk) did two of my tattoos at Dotta ink and they came out so perfect. She pays incredible attention to detail and makes the experience very comfortable. She helped me figure out the best placement for them on my arm and made everything work well together. The tattoos are healing beautifully and I am absolutely in love with them. 100% recommend going to her for your tattoo needs!!

This tattoo shop is phenomenal!! From the moment we walked thru the doors we were greeted with welcoming smiles. The shop is beautiful and comfortable. We had an appointment with Arturo Gallardo and his work is beyond amazing. I was u sure if what I was getting so I had my husband go first. The conversation is always interesting and even the other artists are easy and fun to talk to. When it was my turn I gave Art the idea and he freehanded the tattoo on me. He does beautiful work and I highly recommend him. Book your next appointment with him, you won't be disappointed.

Leslie is an incredible artist and such a sweet person to talk to! I've gotten tattooed by her twice in the past. :) I came in on Saturday as a walk in and luckily she was finishing up with a client,so she was able to assist me afterwards.I ADORE my new tattoo! Highly recommend going to her and this shop,everyone is friendly and attentive!

I can't say enough amazing things about Dotta Ink in Downey, CA! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, clean, and professional. Every single tattoo artist there is incredibly talented. You can really tell they take pride in their work and care about bringing your vision to life. The detail, creativity, and precision they put into their tattoos is next level. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A special shoutout to Maricela, the piercer -- she is AWESOME at her job! She's knowledgeable, gentle, and makes the whole experience comfortable and stress-free. She explains everything clearly and makes sure you feel confident and at ease before, during, and after your piercing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And of course, the owner Angela is an absolute girl boss! She's amazing, professional, and has built such a strong, talented team. You can see her passion reflected in the whole shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's inspiring to see a woman-owned business thriving like this. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo or piercing, Dotta Ink is the place to go. 10/10 recommend! read more

The piercer here is disgusting. Doesn't clean the skin before piercing. Doesn't tie her hair up. Wears long ass nails. My sister went in the other day to get a piercing reinserted. She said she would use a catheter to reinsert her jewelry and instead gave her a new piercing with a needle. She can't even tell if it's the same hole anymore. I'm not sure if she just wanted to scam her for $50 because she's so desperate. My sister had that piercing for years and the jewelry was out for less than 2 hours. Never asked my sister if it's okay to use a needle just went ahead and did it. Go literally anywhere else. read more

This is my personal favorite tattoo shop in Downey. I walked in and met with Bennett Loc who took care of the design I wanted and even came up with a better design than I originally planned. His style of tattooing is phenomenal with an incredible attention to detail. Out of all my tattoos I can say the one he did for me is the best and my favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bennett has great follow up with his customers after getting the tattoo and even offers really great advice on how to take care of it as it's healing and how to take care of it after it's all healed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I appreciate the work Bennett did a lot. He kept his station really organized and maintained properly which was really awesome. The shop overall has great vibes and is a great place to get tattooed. read more

Best place to get your lashes done. Beautiful building, great location and plenty of parking. The building looks so pretty..... like a castle to me I always walk out feeling great and rejuvenated. You get the full lash treatment here. The lash bash is so refreshing. I always forget to check-in on Yelp but I've been getting my lashes done by Angela since day oneI absolutely love getting my lashes done, Angela is so good and light handed that I always fall asleep at some point of my session. When I don't fall asleep I get to talk to my dear friend Angela and catch up with everything!!!! Feels like therapy sometimes......bottom line I love it here. Her lashes stay on and they are light and natural looking. The Acadèmie is so beautiful you have to check it out!!!!!! read more

Meet the Business Owner: Vamp Z.

I began my journey in beauty back in 2017, starting from home with lash artistry. By 2019, I opened Dame de Lash in Downey, California, becoming a lash educator and growing my business. My path into tattoo artistry came through permanent makeup—ombré powder brows and scalp micropigmentation. By 2023, I expanded that passion into Dotta Ink, where we now house 15 talented artists. Our luxury location ensures every client experiences a high-end atmosphere. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s helped me along the way. And trust me—this is just the beginning; the fun is only getting started!

He is an amazing listener when it comes to your ideas, he is beyond confident in the most humble way and I genuinely trust him 1000% when it comes to ink because hands down his work is clean and he is patient with the hands of an angel. So far Ace has done about six pieces on me and they all came out higher than my expectations, everybody knows he's my guy fs. -one

I recently had my first two appointments with Michael after being referred to him by family members…read morehe's tattooed. Their tattoos always looked clean, professional, and creative, so I felt confident booking with him. For my first tattoo, Michael was able to take me as a walk-in, which I really appreciated. Even though I didn't have an appointment, I never felt rushed. I explained what I wanted verbally, and he immediately sketched up a design that was exactly what I had in mind. From start to finish, I was tattooed in less than an hour. It's been a few weeks now, and it has healed beautifully. I went back for a second tattoo, a small rib piece. I had sent him the font I liked beforehand, and when I got there, he whipped up a few size suggestions to help me choose what looked best. He took the time to make sure everything was spelled correctly and placed exactly the way I wanted before we started. Both experiences have been fantastic. Michael is professional, clean, efficient, and genuinely cares about the quality of his work. His workstation was spotless, and for my rib tattoo, he even used a clean drape on the bed to make sure I was comfortable while lying on my side. If you're looking for a tattoo artist who is talented, creative, detail-oriented, and respectful of your time, I highly recommend Michael. I've had two great experiences with him, and I'll definitely be working with him again on

She spent $1000 for her piece and it looks like her tattoo is about 10 to 15 years old. It looks more faded in the person than this picture that I post . It's still beautiful, but I think it wasn't enough ink deep enough in the skin.

As a cosmetologist that has taken many courses to add to my services, this is hands down the most beautiful and clean training facility. I absolutely love the aesthetic and the space! It's great for learning while social distancing. My training was facilitated by the owner herself, who took all precautions. We are talking sanitizer at the door (and every room), two sinks, and spacious stations. I appreciated that she wore and recommended a face shield (on top of mask) as you are in very close proximity to your models. I took the lash lift (perm) and brow lamination course, and I liked the technique and added kit tools for pro tips! We had theory for an hour, a mannequin demo, and live model practice. (Ofcourse you bring your own, which is great during these times for peace of mind.) I was happy that I got the attention I paid for. I had constant monitoring in a class of 4, and kept being corrected to improve my speed as this process is time sensitive and there's no room to build bad habits! I got a lot of feedback and all my questions answered. I enjoyed this class and training center so much that I signed up for the eyebrow threading course this Sunday to enhance my work. Wish me luck y'all! read more

So initially I noticed Dotta Ink when I was driving through downtown Downey. I came in as a walk in to get nipple piercings. The person Rice at the front door was very nice and welcoming when I came in. Even though they were in a meeting, he tended to me right away with a smile. You know checking the vibe of a place is always important but they definitely checked that box for me. The piercer Chris came over and asked what I was looking to get and was sooo professional. I signed a form and I was able to voice my concerns. He double checked everything, he was also soo nice and explained the whole process to me. Chris also spoke to me throughout the process and kept me relaxed. Everything went easy and simple. Kind of felt like home honestly. I loved how easy and comfortable the process was. The shop also accepts Zelle so that was a plus! He cleaned me up and gave me aftercare instructions. Even offered further help with any trouble healing. This shop is definitely a vibe! And even upon leaving Rice made sure I was satisfied! I will most certainly be back for any other needs. I highly recommend!!! read more

I had the best experience anyone could have artist Julio Calderon . was very professional and understanding of the type of work I wanted and needed . I had a coverup that needed to be done asap . Artists julio Calderon made this experience smooth for me and gave me confidence in him as an artist . His knowledge and experience in this field of work Was very reassuring. Not only did I feel comfortable, but the work that was done was above and beyond . The pressure of his hand was so bearable, light handed, clean lines, and honesty of what to expect when getting a tattoo. This is the type of artist you need someone that's going to be realistic with you someone that is going to go above and beyond to make your experience, enjoyable, someone that understands that this piece of art is on your body for life I will definitely be returning to him, and I will definitely have him to be the only artist working on my tattoos. If you guys are looking for an honest artist, this is the person to go to above and beyond Julio Calderon at Doda Ink. read more

Ladies and Gentlemen if your looking for a professional school and setting for lash and brow training! DAME DE LASH Academy is it. I received my training from the Master herself in a private one on one class and it was the best investment I've ever done on myself. She took her time to explain the fundamentals of being a Lash Artist there's so much more to just placing a lash on a client. She made sure I understood what I was getting myself into and definitely gave me all the tools I needed to be successful in this industry. So if you want to get certified learn the proper way, YouTube will not get into detail with it, trust me I tried. It's been a years later and I still feel comfortable reaching out for anything I may be struggling with Dame De Lash continues to help me strive and be a mentor in my life, Thank you Angela! read more

Hello Everyone, I am 34 years old. I have 7 tattoos. Most (5) of my tattoos are from the coolest person I have ever met. My go to at this shop is Tattoochick. Been following her since the good ol Myspace days. Since the first tattoo done by her, about 10 years ago, I have been following her around. Wherever she goes, I am there. Her tattoo style is cool, girly, fun. Her tattoos are so perfect: nice thin lines. Her watercolor tattoos are my favorite. Her color tattoos reflect her vibe: so vibrant, so fresh. She stands out by her work and her personality. I recommend getting tatted by Ms. Tattoochick. You need a cover up, a color tattoo, any tattoo, book an appointment with Ms. Tattoochick. Make sure you schedule it quick because she gets booked fast. read more

Great experience at this shop when I took my daughter in for a piercing. The staff was very professional from start to finish, making sure we both felt comfortable and informed throughout the process. Communication was clear and reassuring, which really helped ease any nerves. Angela was great friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. She took the time to explain everything and made sure my daughter felt at ease. The piercing itself went smoothly, and everything was done with care and attention to cleanliness. They explained aftercare thoroughly and answered all of our questions without rushing us. Overall, a very positive experience I'd definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a safe, professional, and welcoming place. read more

I chose Dotta Ink because my brother has gotten multiple tattoos with Luis and always speaks highly of his experience. I was looking to get a tattoo and texted the number on their website, they reply quickly and were able to get me in early the next day. I really appreciated this because I've had to book tattoos weeks in advance at prior tattoo shops. I was paired with The Doctor, who was very nice throughout the tattoo session. He was very mindful of making sure I liked the placement and sizing of the tattoo or if I needed a break throughout the session. You can tell he's very passionate about his work. The overall atmosphere of the tattoo shop is great as well, all the tattoo artist make you feel included. read more

Let me start off by saying that Academy is beautiful! It's very vintage-girly with a touch of goth and I'm obsessed with her designing. The academy is well kept, throughly cleaned, and frankly a pleasant environment. However, that's just a bonus, the classes are spot on. Angela is very detailed about the learning process and she isn't just someone is going to take your money and send you off. She continuously checks up on her students and their progress and she there to contribute to help even after class is over to make sure you succeed as an beauty artist. By far the best at what she does, hands down! read more

I came in on a Friday night and had a really great experience. David and Marisela were super helpful Marisela helped me right away and she even put my favorite music (she could tell I was nervous) I showed him what I wanted, and he gave me exactly that. His work is very detailed, and you can tell he really knows what he's doing. The whole experience was smooth and comfortable. I would definitely go back to him and I'm already planning my next tattoo with him If you want a good, detailed tattoo from someone experienced, I highly recommend going with David. 10/10 read more

Maricela was absolutely amazing! She did my daughter's anti-eyebrow (surface) piercing and made the entire experience calm, professional, and reassuring from start to finish. She took the time to explain the process, answered all of our questions, and made sure my daughter felt comfortable every step of the way. Her attention to cleanliness, placement, and detail was outstanding. The piercing came out beautiful, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. I would 100% recommend Maricela to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy piercer. read more

Alright I couldn't wait to write a review lmao. I got my vertical labret done by Chris not even an hour ago and he is honestly SO comforting and talks you through the piercing, he tells you what he's doing and explains it to you before he even starts. truly such an amazing experience, I was honestly nervous cause I haven't had a piercing done in about 4ish years, so i'm glad i came here!! so comforting and I even saw a very pretty woman who works there with pink tattoo equipment so comforting and a very nice vibe. thank you read more

It's difficult to find an artists that does such amazing work, atleast for me. After looking at so many instagrams, tiktok reels, facebook market place lol I finally stumbled upon Priscila (Inkmonic) -- right away I loved her energy, her patience in talking about the design, and making the imaginative idea come to life. Not only does her work speak for itself, but her light hand was also helpful and less painful. I have gotten two tattoos from her so far. But I can't wait to get more. She IS that girl. read more

I came in to get a piercing and I had the pleasure of being pierced by Luis. He was so kind and patient with me! The piercing looks great too. I ended up getting tattooed my him multiple times. His tattoos are amazing and he always knows how to give me exactly what I want for in a piercing AND tattoo. He even checked up on me after ti make sure the tatt is healing well. The vibes are so cool here at that shop. If you come in, I highly recommend Luis. He shows actual genuine care for his customers. read more

I took the Lash Class last year and fell in love with everything!! I was able to work & practice right after taking this class. Angela makes you feel more confident about lashing, she's so sweet and fun! Not only you leave the class with knowledge but with a beautiful kit full of everything you will need to start lashing. Her lashes are so beautiful & beginner friendly for those who are starting to create fans. I also went back and took her brow & lash lift course! Best decision ever! read more

I was literally obsessed with her decor. 10/10 recommended read more
