From the jump, the shop vibes were professional and clean, which is huge for me working in the medical field. Aya is a true specialist. I was looking for high-level fine line work and she absolutely delivered on the detail and shading. She really understood the vision I had for this piece as a symbol of my career transition and personal growth. The placement fits my physique perfectly and the healing process has been smooth thanks to her solid aftercare instructions. If you're looking for a top-tier artist in LA who handles custom work with precision, book with Aya! :)

Shout out to studio city tattoo for taking a painful, hard day and turning it into a memorable…read morespecial day for my wife. It's the first Mother's Day without her mom and with SAWOOLI and other staff at Studio City Tattoo help we were able to help make a sad day slightly better. The environment felt safe and comfortable enough allowing her to grieve while we waited for SAWOOLI to get the tattoos ready. Thanks again to everyone there this morning. Meant a lot to her. She walked in sad w her head down and walked out smiling and head held high. Made a huge difference

The customer service here is AWFUL! The lady dressed in black who sits behind the register and is…read moreon her phone while people need help has no basic knowledge about the jewelry policies at this shop. My partner and I came in to return a jewelry piece he surprised me with as a gift. I didn't even open the clear jewelry case since I immediately knew this septum ring was too large for me to wear. We clearly told the lady behind the register that we were there to exchange or return the piece. She tells us to wait for the piercer since others were waiting ahead of us. After waiting for over a half hour, I asked again, "do we really have to wait for the piercer to return this piece???" She said the piercer handles the jewelry. We were there for a total of at least 50 minutes! The piercer finally comes to us and tells us that jewelry cannot be returned after it leaves the shop. Why didn't the lady sitting behind the register give us this information as soon as we told her why we came in to the shop, instead of making us wait for almost an hour to just be extremely disappointed after speaking with the piercer? This place sucks, no respect and no consideration for patrons' valuable time. I have never been to a tattoo and piercing shop where the person at the register doesn't have basic knowledge on the shop's jewelry "policies" Back story: my partner goes in to this shop to surprise me with a septum ring. Another piercer helps him with picking out the jewelry. Bless my partner's heart but he knows nothing about piercings. He shows the piercer a photo of what I usually wear and somehow they pick out a piece that's triple the size of what I wear. The piercer never told my partner that jewelry is final sale. This place is an absolute disappointment and not helpful at all! Buy your jewelry somewhere else and go to a shop where everyone in the establishment values you as a customer!

I got my first and only tattoo from 11:11 AD on Ventura Blvd. I had visions of this tattoo for over…read morea year. Luis gave me exactly what i envisioned. A Perfect Equilateral Triangle. I was raised by my mother who has me and my brother, so i always saw us as the three points in a triangle. We group text every single day. We always make sure each other is safe before we go to bed. The Love is Deep. I was a walk in and the customer service was excellent. There was some really good looking guy who may work there too with a shaved head and lots of tattoos. Nice to have something to distract you from the pain. The studio itself is super artsy and dope. It was also very clean. I truly had a great experience getting my tattoo.

Kirk Alley has been tattooing me since 2011, and I don't want anyone else to tattoo me for as long…read moreas we both shall live. Truly. I have two major pieces from him: a full sleeve on my left arm and a black-and-white piece that begins on my lower right ribs and wraps behind to the left side of my lower back. The latter required some reworking of old tattoos, and Kirk executed flawlessly. He has my complete trust when it comes to tattooing. I don't think twice about him drawing on me. To state the obvious: Kirk is an incredible artist -- originally a painter recruited to become a tattooist -- who can execute on any style you wish with flying colors. That's rare in a world of specialists who are limited to one style. You will get a one-of-a-kind piece. Plus, Kirk's a pleasure to be around. It's nice to spend a couple of hours talking to him while he draws on me. I always look forward to visiting him, and I hope that can happen again soon.

From the moment I walked into the studio, Vicky and Agne made the entire experience feel so…read morewelcoming, comfortable, and special. Vicky did such an amazing job setting the tone right away. She made me feel instantly at ease with her warm energy, professionalism, and kindness, which meant so much, especially in a tattoo setting where comfort really matters. She created such a positive atmosphere from the start and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. Agne was equally amazing throughout the entire process. She was so communicative, attentive, and reassuring every step of the way, which made me feel really taken care of. Her professionalism and ability to make everything feel calm, clear, and effortless truly stood out. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in giving a great experience, not just great service. Together, Vicky and Agne made such a wonderful team. Their energy, attention to detail, and overall customer care were exceptional. The whole experience felt professional, personal, and comfortable in the best way. I'm so grateful for how well I was treated and would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone looking for amazing service and a great vibe.

I'll start by saying that I LOVE tattoos. So when my tattoo artist retired I was devastated. I…read moredidn't think I could ever find another tattoo shop, let alone a tattoo artist that I would trust like I did Stephanie. When I was finally ready to maybe try a new place I reached out to Stephanie, and without hesitation she said I had to see Robert. OMG! Was she right! It was love at first tattoo! Robert is immensely talented, so much so that what started out as a single peony turned into a whole sleeve. And I'm sure I'll be added more in the years to come. Robert is not only talented, but he is funny as hell and the cherry on top is he loves glasses and dogs as much as I do. I would highly recommend him to the whole universe! As for the shop itself, it's always super clean and well looked after. All and I do mean all the tattoo artists that work there are amazing! They all welcome you in. I especially love how they bounce ideas off of each other while working on their own unique pieces.

Needle Pushers was hands down the best experience ever. Rolando pierced my 1-year-old daughter's…read moreears and made the whole process incredibly fast and as painless as possible. He was calm, gentle, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing, which made us feel completely at ease as parents.

I'm writing this review to warn parents of infants…read more I brought my 3.5-month-old baby here to have her ears pierced, and the experience was very disappointing. From the start, the staff member we spoke with was very dismissive and unwelcoming. We were told the wait could be an hour or more and that the process itself could take another hour. What was most concerning is that we were told if my baby became fussy or cried, they would not proceed and would make us come back another day. With a baby, that's always a possibility, and it was said in a way that made it very clear they did not want to deal with infants at all. After waiting about 30 minutes with no movement and seeing how packed the shop was, we decided to leave because it didn't feel like a supportive or appropriate environment for a baby. We ended up going to Claire's, where the staff was kind, patient, and very professional, and my daughter's ears were pierced quickly and smoothly. If you have a baby or young infant, I would not recommend this place. This may be fine for adults, but it is not a baby friendly environment.

I wanted simple scribe on my neck and apparently traditional tattoo artists only do visible tattoos if you have more... and I have five. Sure that's fine, but with that came a mini lecture about what I'm deciding to put on my body. Telling me to wait a week without asking how long this has been on my mind. It went into as far as telling to consider how I'm profiled in society because of a neck tattoo. I'm a Black Queer Man living in America. Although well intended, I don't need someone at the peek of the social totem pole telling me about being "profiled" in this country. Again, really don't have an issue with refusing to do the service. I know it was well intended. But I don't need a tone deaf conversation when I'm calling to get a quote on a tattoo.
