My co - worker recommended In The Skin and said great things about this spot. I had no idea where to go being my very first tattoo. My girlfriend came along for support. The minute we walked in we were greeted by two artist. I explained what I wanted and they gave me great feedback on the placement and layout of my tattoo and I am so glad they did! Anthony took care of me. I couldn't have asked for a better artist for my first time around. He was super chill, friendly, professional, and fun to talk to. Maybe I should have checked out a few spots to compare prices, cleanliness, and experience but I didn't and I have 'no ragrets' read more

Came in for my first piercings, and Andrew did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable and it was a great experience! Will definitely recommend to my friends. read more

Anthony strikes again! This man has been tattooing me since 2011 and he's the best line man i've ever encountered in my 14 years of being tattooed. his lines are consistantly amazing. this man knows how to choose the right needles for the right piece, excellent at placing. he tattooed my mother who had never been tattooed a few years back and she loved the experience. i can't say enough about his professionalism and my total satisfaction with every piece he has done. so glad to see him back at in the skin! hit him up! read more

The owner Buddy is smart, talented, professional, creative and extremely artistic. He and the guys at the shop are all very friendly. The shop is crisp, clean and brightly decorated with art. The atmosphere is welcoming and very cool. The prices are fair and the work is excellent! Best experience ever! read more

I meant to do this a long while ago, however, just got a chance to do it now. I went to In The Skin back in the summer to get a cover up tattoo on my back. Andy was there and he took on the challenge. He listened to everything I wanted and came up with his own design. It was amazing!! This was my 10th tattoo, and by far one of the best. So impressed by this shop and in particular Andy! Thanks again! read more

Had a tattoo done by buddy today, my blood family names in arabic... First time in the shop. Had an AMAZING experience. Buddy is very professional, personable and patient, took the time to understand what i wanted and to make sure i was going to be happy with the result. I loooveee my new tattoo... Thanks buddy! read more

I got my nose pierced here by Andrew, and he did a great job!! The shop was one of the cleanest I've ever been in. I felt just a quick prick, but no pain. Something that surprised me was the price. My belly piercing in Florida cost me $60, but my nose only cost around $40 (I may be wrong, this was 9/10 months ago), but I do remember it being cheaper than my belly. A couple of weeks after I got it pierced, I went ahead and swapped the jewelry out. For some reason, whenever I get a new piercing, if it's not out within 2 or 3 weeks it gets infected. So, I took it out without a problem and popped in a new one. It's been 9 or 10 months since I got it done and I have never had a problem! I'm very pleased with my new piercing and will come back for more. read more

I love Anthony Wayne! I have 3 tattoos by him and tattoos have never felt so good. He's so gentle. I recommend him. Not only is he a good tattoo artist, he's nice to look at while he's tattooing. Ask for him when you come in. You will not be disappointed! read more

So my wife and I came here to get a tattoo done after we got married. It was my 7th tattoo and my wifes first. Our artist Andy did a wonderful job on out tattoos. Before we started I had asked about cover ups, as I had a horrendous tattoo on my right arm that needed to go away in the worst kind of way. Andy saw it and was shocked how bad it was, but he said it wasn't impossible to cover up. So after we got our tattoos I set an appointment with Andy to get the cover up done and again, I was not disappointed Andy did such a good job on my cover up that i was able to finally go swimming without a shirt for the first time in over 3 years. I have come to Andy for all my tattoos since and my wife who now has 4 tattoos including a half sleeve has had them all done by Andy. If you are looking for a Great shop come here and I would highly recommend Andy as your artist. read more

The shops nice an clean all the people that work there seem pretty laid back an nice. Alejandro has been my tattoo artist for a while now, his tattoos are amazing and I couldn't be happier with the work iv gotten from him, I would highly recommend him to anyone getting there next tattoo! read more

Got a naval piercing done today by Andrew and he was absolutely amazing, my 2 sisters and I all went in to get a piercing and he made us laugh and helped us feel more comfortable, plus when we walked in they were playing iron maiden so the good music helped keep us calm. He also took all precautions to prevent infections he used new tools on each of us to make sure it was sanitary, Andrew was absolutely great read more

Got my first tattoo here, & I love it! I got Alejandro (Alex) who is ridiculously funny and honest. He took his time drawing my tattoo on a paper to make sure it was perfect, and asked me if I wanted to add color with no extra charge! He gave me extra ideas if I wanted to add more to the tattoo, in the end, it turned out better than I expected it to be will come again soon & really do recommend this place read more

Excellent customer service, excellent work, very professional and clean. Definitely recommend them. Buddy was awesome.

Andrew is a cool guy. Distracted me when I got my ears pierced. He made the process very easy and got the job done quickly. I love how they turned out read more

I came to get my nose pierced here in December 2016. I don't know his name but it was a man who did it. Went to get it changed at a shop near my place only to be informed that apparently it was pierced 'wrong' so I was advised to take it out and redo it because the 'way it was pierced couldn't correspond with the new jewelry'. My nose has been messed up. I just got it repierced by a well known piercer and they again made me aware that my nose has gone through a lot of trauma due to ill advice and uncareful piercing. Please make sure that you go to a 5 star piercer, do your research to avoid going through what I have! I was told my nose looks like it's been pierced twice when I only pierced it once! That means someone added to the problem without me knowing when I was getting it pierced/changed. So my nose got worse! More swelling and scar tissue. Do your research! Just because they say they're pro's doesn't mean you shouldn't also make sure you know what they're doing. Get good after care too! I use a serum and spray provided by my piercer. It works amazingly and my new piercing looks great. It's safe to say I'm in very good hands now and I won't have any problems anymore with my nose and it looks great again but I went through pain, swelling, scar tissue and discomfort all because I trusted people to do their job right the first time and they didn't! Now my nose has no scar tissue and is still healing very well, but those reoccurring errors by 'professional' piercers who should treat you with care, shouldn't have happened in the first place! Make sure the person is legitimate, has consistent excellent reviews and talk to them first/get a consult. After talking to my new piercer she was able to help and did an excellent job but just unfortunate my nose has been through so much trauma due to carelessness all for a nose piercing which is actually complex because of the vessels in the nose read more

My friend and I walked in around closing time hoping to just make tattoo appointments for later in week, but Buddy was super nice and welcoming and said he could do them right then and there. It was an awesome experience, especially from coming out of town. I highly recommend it and will definitely be spreading the word! read more

Did a nose piercing and they made a 63 yr old comfortable. Would recommend to anyone. Tatoos looked impressive; already have one though. virgie read more

I got my tatoo done in honor of my mother right after her passing. She Loved Roses. I went in and saw Buddy and he did Phenominal job. The rose has some much color and life and I am constantly getting compliments. Thanks Buddy Your the Best! read more

I got my nose pierced here, and I really liked it. Andrew was really calm and professional; he worked cleanly and quickly. I was really pleased with the service I received, and I know for a fact that when I get my next piercing, I will be going back to Skins. It was a cheap $40, and there were a lot of studs to choose from. Definitely recommend going here if you want a good piercing; don't trust any place with a gun. read more

ANDY was fabulous!! It was mine & my sisters first time. He was patient & explained each step to us. Such a sweetheart. Cant wait to go back. Thank you again ANDY! read more

My friend and I went in to make appointments for tattoos and ended up having them done on the spot by Buddy. He was super nice and did a terrific job. From out of town and he made us feel right at home! Highly recommend! read more

Had my newest tattoo done here by Maya. Made an appointment for a Saturday session and showed her what I wanted (highly recommend making appointments!) and Maya was very professional, had my sketch ready. Location is a easy to find but also easy to miss. It's a small stand only building with a very narrow driveway to get into the parking lot which is in the back. Place is very clean and professional. There were two tattoo artists and a piercer onsite. Bathroom was extremely clean, almost like a hospital! I like that they have a big flat screen TV which they had on during my session which made the time pass faster. Maya was extremely professional and really took her time to perfect her work. I had a nice piece done on my inner forearm and she made sure that it was done just right. She was very friendly and asked if I needed a break every so often. I will be coming back to have my tattoos done by Maya from now! Price was just right too! Don't forget to tip your tattoo artists especially if they do a great job because their artistic talent is now a part of you. read more

I got pierced here four times and my ex has gotten pierced and tattooed there too. Really nice guys but don't ask them to pierce you anywhere crazy because they won't do it. They'll give you some crazy look. Go to that place on green at like....somewhere near the college to get pierced read more

Went to have work done by the Highly recommended Jon, and honestly I couldn't be happier with the work & service. As an overall everyone who was there was very friendly - Jon, my artist, was ready for me when I got in. He really honed in on what I wanted. It's refreshing to meet an artist who isn't trying to impose their will on your skin. I am really happy with my tattoo and the experience. Thank you Jon! read more

Walked in to buy a replacement nose ring. No one acknowledged me and 2 girls actually walked passed me to go out to smoke..saying nothing to me (probably racist). The shop was completely empty of costumers. A 3rd person eventually asked if I needed help and then said the piercer is only in on certain days and they "deal with the jewelry". Did not feel welcome- so awkward. I'm new to the area but will not be getting my next tat or piercing here. read more

this spot is top notch. i have come here for my last 5 pieces over 2-3 years and definitely not going anywhere else. the artists know their stuff and have experience, i've gotten all mine from buddy. the spot also has a cool relaxed vibe and there's no pressure. going back for another asap. cheers. read more

What an amazing experience my sisters & I had with Andy!!!!! I didn't know what to expect going into today as this was all 4 of our first experience getting a tattoo but Andy made us feel so comfortable & made sure we knew what was going to happen. He was so patient with us & fun toooooo!! Everything was so thoroughly clean with everything that he used. I lost track how many times he changed his gloves to put on some new ones lol thanks Andy so much for today!!! We can't wait to be back for some more :) read more

I just got an awesome tattoo at in the skin. I had a wonderful experience there -- Buddy my artist made sure I got exactly what I wanted! Andrew -- the piercer and greeter could not have been more welcoming. The studio is super clean -- right down to the bathroom sink! The price was right and was definitely more competitive than anything I saw in Hollywood. I was impressed with the experience and plan to get another one in a month or two. read more

Great tattoo work, my daughter got her tattoo here very clean very good work. Love it.

Randomly felt like getting a double helix and found this place on Yelp, and I'm so glad that I chose this place! I called in beforehand and once I got there I filled out a form and got straight to it! Love how Andrew took everything slow and made me feel super comfortable. He checks in often to make sure that I was OK and to tell him to stop if I ever felt uncomfortable. Totally love this place it's super chill!! I HIGHLY recommend In The Skin Studio (and Andrew)!!! read more

Whoever answered the phone was unprofessional and rude. We dove half an hour to not even be acknowledged after standing there for about 40 min. We've gotten tattoos from there before and we are glad we left to get them somewhere else. read more

Whatever you do, don't schedule an appointment with Anthony Wayne!!!!! Had an appointment with him that was scheduled a few weeks in advance, tried to get a hold of him 2 days before the appointment to confirm and no response!!! Tried to get a hold of him again multiple times the day of the appointment and again, no response!!! Very, very, unprofessional and just straight out rude!!! Would never recommend him to anyone!! Take your business elsewhere or at least to a different artist! read more

I LOV E this place and it is the only parlor I will go to. Brandon is my guy, however Buddy also did one of my tats. They are very detailed and creative. I came in with a backpiece idea a couple weeks ago, and Brandon took it to a whole other level. I really recommend this place! read more

Been going to In the Skin for years now and want to spread the word on how legit this shop is. Buddy is the owner and is supremely talented and super chill. Highly recommended shop for tattoo rookies or veterans. read more

Andrew was awesome. He gave my best friend and I tattoos (my first, her sixth). He was patient and accommodating.

Every tattoo I have that I like has come from this shop. It is clean, professional, and reasonable. If you listen to the advice the artists give you will be happy. I have received countless compliments on the art that has been put on me from this place. Every artist I have had has been easy to handle (pain wise) and no one can believe how long ago I got tattooed because the colors have stayed so vibrant. My latest artist was brandon. He was really cool, fair and professional. read more

one of the best tattoo shops in southern california. anthony is freakin awsome. one of the most talented artists in the business. if you want a tattoo you can be proud of for the rest of your life look no further. anthony your the man-payback- read more

I have many tat and one by them unfortunately. The tat they did is very visible and it turned out horribly. The person who did it, (I cannot remember his name) did not even follow the drawing he originally did. He was also constantly stopping to answer his cell phone because he was remodeling a room in his house and thought that it was more important then concentrating on doing my tat. I have been to other artists to try to get it repaired however because of the poor job he did it is unrepairable. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone unless you want an awful tat. read more

I got my first tattoo at In The Skin Tattoo about four months ago, Buddy worked with me on my design and it turned out exactly how I wanted it. The prices are really good and the quality of the art is amazing!! I got a full color fairy sitting on a music note on my shoulder, the way he shaded it and blended the colors looks awesome! I'm in love with my tattoo and I will definitely be going back to Buddy get my next one. read more

I got my second tatoo from Buddy and he is an absolutely amazing artist! I would recommend to anyone who might be afraid of the pain, forget about it!! I laid on the table to get my tatoo on my shoulder and I almost fell asleep. Great tunes and the shop including the bathroom was spotless as well. read more
