I went down for two separate occasions. Christian handled my nose piercing. it was a quick, painless and overall phenomenal experience. my second time down there, I got a tattoo from Matt and that too was not only quick and painless, the conversation was great and it was an overall phenomenal experience. 1000/10 rating and don't forget to tip (; read more

Solid tattoo spot - went with some friends for a quick matching tattoo. Looks like it depends on the artist as the folks who had one artist got a perfect tattoo while the folks with the other have lots of bleeding with not as straight lines read more

Don't get your ears pierced here. They give you 925 silver which is sterling and it's literally frowned upon to heal piercings with anything sterling bc it contains copper ! Idk why they think that's ok! Not flat backs either! My ear hasn't healed and is still really painful to sleep on and i grew concern and had a look at the earrings only to be let down. Piercings should only be healed with medical grade metal, like titanium. Do better dudes! read more

I came back to Newport Tattoo for a second tattoo with Hannah. Hannah was amazing. She did an amazing job with my tattoo, was very kind & easy to talk to but also very focused on her work. It was nice getting to know her and I will only go to Hannah for tattoos from now on! I love my tattoo. The place was very clean & they were very professional. Thanks Hannah! read more

Today's comment is about Hannah! Don't let her youthful look fool you! She is an amazing talented Artist that can actually listen to what you're looking for and make it that much that much better than you can imagine. When Hannah was first starting out she was given a simple line tattoo that friend and I both wanted matching. Though it's very simple it was very meaningful for my friend and I. Hannah was able to get a general idea of what we were looking for and hand sketched right there in front of us, and was able to tweak it based on our conversations. We both love it! read more

I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and was kindly accommodated by this staff. Everyone was so welcoming and attentive. My phone died and they were so patient as I pulled up reference photos of what I wanted on my friend's phone. I only waited about 30 minutes for an available artist and for them to draw a sketch of the tattoo. Her line work was amazing! I was only charged the shop minimum of $100. She did such an amazing job. I am so happy with my newest tattoo! Thank you. read more

My tattoo artist is Jordan Nicole, she is AMAZING with her work. all of my tattoos are fine line and Jordan specializes in that! All the artist here are amazing, and so friendly/welcoming which sometimes Is hard to get in a tattoo shop! love this place read more

I dropped by Newport Tattoo with a few girlfriends on a Tuesday night. We were at happy hour nearby and randomly decided that we all wanted piercings. We called before dropping by and luckily they were able to accommodate us so late. There were two ladies that helped us. Their jewelry selection wasn't great but we all found pieces that we liked. The process was all very sanitary - they cleaned everything beforehand and gave us specific aftercare instructions & contact info in case we had any issues. We all left very happy with our new (spontaneous) piercings! read more

We wanted to walk in to get tattoos and the people that work here are extremely rude and laughed at our tattoo ideas. We ended up leaving without getting any tattoos. I would not recommend this place!! read more

Do NOT get pierced by Christian, you'll waste your time and money! Let me begin with I've got over 10 piercings & most of my body is tattooed. I walked in & asked when I could get my philtrim/Medusa pierced. They told me come back in an hour, I did, Christian took care of me, he was professional THEN, told me to follow him on Instagram to reach out if I have any questions. 3-4 days later my piercing was so swollen it was getting swallowed up on both sides, I was icing and keeping an eye on it & I pass by a mirror & realize that the Diamond broke off from the pressure & now there's only a labret with a broken tip holding my new piercing, I sent Christian a message on Instagram asking him if there's anything I can do to save the piercing with a video of my situation included. He immediately replied asking if I hit it against something "because there was room for swelling when I pierced it". I replied immediately & asked what can be done. One week passes. Two weeks. He couldn't even be bothered to OPEN my message... and not to mention they're expensive for the cheap material they use for piercings they charged me 75$, I handed Christian a hundred so I tipped him 33%, but he can't be bothered about his work! He literally has his Instagram handle framed in the shop so he can get followers but he doesn't care about his work or reputation. I messaged him again two weeks later in disbelief that this is how a shop in a reputable city displays their customer service. He left me on read! Completely shameless, and so you're aware, he was extremely active on Instagram those two weeks. He was having a grand time at the beach, with his dog, even advertised that he was working too, so no he wasn't on vacation & even if that's the case, a real piercer cares about their work & can at least communicate back with their client. I ended up losing the piercing because I had no response as to how to fix this- I had to pull the broken labret out. I just moved here half a year from Florida & was looking for a good shop. They will never see another penny from me. I went to Barbella studios in Costa Mesa to get my philtrim re-done since I lost it, they did a wonderful job and were very professional & have quality jewelry. Do not be fooled by Newports location or trendy interior, I'm also an influencer online & I do not act entitled about it. It's a shame to see places support adult children simply because their online persona is large, but clearly his lack of professionalism shines stronger than his little Tiktok dances. Don't waste your money, sincerely someone that could easily make a Tiktok about my bad experience & ruin this dudes day, unlike him though I'm not petty. read more

My son Anthony was murdered in Denver Colorado a week ago yesterday. We came to Huntington Beach to release his ashes in the ocean. We were feeling very sad and overwhelmed and wanted to do more to honor him so we found Dave at Newport Tattoo on our way back to Laguna Beach where we were staying. Dave was incredibly compassionate and kind and did an amazing job replicating my son Anthony's "Perseverance" tattoo. Everyone in the shop had amazing energy. They are all artists, friendly, and made our saddest day ever a little brighter. Thank you to all of the guys at Newport Tattoo and especially Dave Julie and Courtney Perseverance. My son. Never gave in. Ever. #ONELIFE #JUSTONE #Anthony read more

Please please please ask for Samurai. I had found out about this place from a customer after I asked about her rad tattoo on her forearm. She mentioned she has a tattoo guy in Newport and she could give me the information for him. I ended up messaging him on Instagram of a tattoo idea that I had in mind. He recommend I come in the shop for a consultation. I had this crazy tattoo idea but he was very receptive to what I had in mind. He told me he would sketch up some stuff and would get back to me in a few days. A few days passed and he showed me a few different sketches. He let me know if I wanted to change anything I could and that he wanted me to be happy about my tattoo. I actually really liked the first sketch he did and I went in to get tattoo'd about a week later. I was a bit nervous since this was a pretty big tattoo (for me) and it was my most detailed one to date. He told me not to worry and that he would take care of me. It took a few hours and he allowed me to take a food break. He was very very nice and personable. He genuinely cared and was an amazing tattoo artist. I would recommend him for anyone who is looking to get a beautiful art piece on their body. read more

I called two days ago asking if it was possible to come in on Thursday to get my ear pierced and the guy on the phone told me that would be perfect and said someone will be here to help at any time. I show up and ask to see the piercer, the guy at the front desk called over to the piercer who I could see from where I was and all he did was shake his head and walked away. And that was it. There was only one other customer in the whole place was getting tattooed so it's not like he was helping anyone else. Horrible service. Do not recommend. read more

Very clean shop and they will definitely work their hardest to get exactly what you ask for! read more

I don't know about the other artists or piercers. I just come to get painted by Ariel. I'm not covered but I've been painted by few other artists (Dillon Forte, Miahwaska, Sarah Gaugler, Grace Neutral) here and there. My friend was looking to get her nose pierced while I was seeking a bit of palm ink as a gift to myself, moreso to drop a deposit if I felt a connection with an artist there. Ariel's professionalism impressed me as we walked in and were immediately greeted by him.. There was another fellow there that seemed more shy (he ended up piercing my friend's nose). I knew instantly that Ariel would understand the depths of his own being of the universe so I went ahead and decided to just do it that night because he had time. One thing I notice about Ariel is his mindfulness of sanitation! That's big for me and apparently for him too! I totally respect that. As far as local so Cal artists, Ariel is my source. He is knowledgeable about what would best sustain my palm tattoos, and so far it's still looking good and hardly faded. I love how he bounces ideas with me and creates what I'm looking for. I can't wait to get a bigger piece by him. His work is amazing. read more

Hannah the piercer is great. She pierced my nipple and she also pierced my best friends nipple. She was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable. This was actually my 4th time getting a nipple pierced and out of all the times I've had this done it hurt the least when Hannah did it and the placement is the best 10/10 will be coming back to pierce my other nipple. I also appreciate having a female pierce me especially when it comes to the lady bits. The tattoo work here is amazing as well I've been tattooed here 3 times and I am so happy with all of the work this shop puts out. Love this place. read more

So my tattoo was typically a more spontaneous tattoo, granted I've wanted it for a while and though its size is small it has major meaning. Walked in, Ryan was doing my tattoo. He was very receptive towards how direct i was and what i knew i wanted. I appreciated that a lot. He was very sweet and really funny too. The team members were amazing. Ryan did a great job on my friend as well! Thank you so much for making that night amazing and putting ink into our skin. read more

I found Ryan through tik tok back in April and decided to make an appointment with him to get my next tattoo. I drove down from Santa Barbara and I was definitely nervous because I've literally only had one other person tattoo me before. But WOW Ryan delivered! He was super professional, took his time drawing out my design, gave me the best advice with placement and created my beautiful tattoo! He is super gentle just like my regular artist and he makes you feel welcome and comfortable! I also fell asleep which is saying a lot! Lol. Tattoos are relaxing for me lol. Highly recommend Newport tattoo! I've actually come across a few other of their artists on tik tok and they all seem like a awesome group of men and women! I will definitely make the drive down again to get more tattoos done by Ryan! read more

If I could give them zero stars I would! Their communication is garbage. When we asked the tattoo artist if she would tattoo all three of our friends she said no I'm going home. That would have been nice if we're told prior to waiting an hour to finish her previous appointment. Definitely do not recommend, if you have the chance to go else where please do! read more

Let me start by saying I have over 30 tattoos - from tattoo shops across the country and internationally - and this is my FAVORITE tattoo parlor i have ever been to. The environment is so fun and inviting and they do not have an exclusive vibe like some shops where they only are nice to you if you look "cool" or have enough tattoos. Here, everyone is incredibly nice and all of the artists are unbelievably talented. They do it ALL. My tattoo artist is Christian & I literally cant stop going back in to get more. Do yourself a favor and get a tattoo here. I've gotten 11 from Christian in the last few months and brought 3 friends to get tattoos and every single piece has been beyond perfect. He does tattoos that are consistently better than my references and he is nice, efficient, and SO reasonably priced for such high quality pieces. Plus he has a cool mustache. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Not only is this where my AMAZING tattoo artist works, Samurai! But it is also home to amazing piercers! I was very nervous to get my belly button pierced but Christian made it quick and easy! 10/10 recommend for tattoos and piercings! read more

I was a bit of a wild child, to be sure. My nickname was "King Snake" (but these days, you can call me "Donald S"...or "Mr. S"). So it seems appropriate that I should still occasionally "take a walk on the wild side". It's a short walk, but a "wild side walk" never-the-less! And I encourage my family to fire-walk with me when they get the chance...so with that in mind, we dropped by Newport Tattoo a few weeks ago to get some fresh ink! "King Snake" in big, bold letters! The Beautiful Carin has never had a tat before, while my lovely daughter, Whitney has several...or maybe more than several...I don't really want to know about some of them. But Carin and I were first timers in the intentional permanent bodily disfigurement arena! And that's crazy, given my misspent youth! All of my permanent disfigurement has been somewhat "accidental" in nature. In fact, before my visit to Newport Tattoo, the closest I had gotten to getting a tattoo was when a long lost girlfriend of mine stabbed me in the arm with a BIC ballpoint pen...the pen broke off in my bicep and left a blue and white spot that never really went away. It was just a misunderstanding about me and one of her girlfriends. So my history with getting inked hadn't been that great...up until now! After a little dinner at Mutt's (to sort of set the mood) we ambled over to Newport Tattoo and chatted with our new Newport Tattoo ink consultant, Arie, about tattoo designs, pain levels, costs, pain levels, sanitation, pain levels, after-care, pain levels and (of course), pain levels. Carin and Whitney each had chosen a short phrase that they had already written out in their own lovely handwriting, and Arie was able to transcribe those phrases into beautiful body art with a minimum of muss and fuss (and limited pain, at least according to my sweet girls). There were several other people getting their ink on at Newport Tattoo that evening, but we didn't have a long wait. And seeing some of the phenomenal body art that others were getting done was (in its own way), "inspiring"! The tattooing process was quick and clean (and I mean scrupulously clean) and accompanied by lively and entertaining commentary, encouragement and conversation between everyone in the shop...so fun! Arie is an incredible tattoo artist (and a patient one, too)...the tattoo's he did on my girls are beautiful...and exactly as they wanted them to be! Arie explained everything that was going to happen (including sanitation procedures, the tattooing process, aftercare and follow-up) as well as keeping up a running commentary during the tattooing process. Before we knew it, the girls were done and taking pic's of their respective new tat's and SMS'ing them to everyone in their contact lists. Then it was my turn! I selected the phrase "Undaunted Courage" ("King Snake" seemed too much like I was "advertising") in 3 inch high letters, to be tattooed in "prison blue" across my pasty pink chest. You know...for street cred. But the Sharpie that Arie used to outline the letters tickled so much that I ended up with just "Undau" in black Sharpie...at least for a few days...until it washed off. But Carin and Whitney were extremely happy with their tattoo's and I was happy with service, cleanliness, friendliness and prices (since I was the guy paying the bill). So when (not if) I do get my ink done, you can rest assured that the inking will be done by the great folks at Newport Tattoo! read more

I came here to scratch my spur of the moment itch to get a tattoo - my favorite Latin phrase on my left side. I didn't really have an appointment, so I called and asked who the person is that is best at tattooing letters. They responded that some guy (whose name I can't remember is) and I asked whether he was available. He was not. So I asked who was available and the guy said Crystal. I drove over, sat down with her, and she sketched out the tattoo and asked if I liked it. I did, so she stenciled it on. Once it was on my side, I decided that it was too small. No problem! She took no issue with redoing the sketch and stencil to my liking. She has a very light hand, and I LOVE my tattoo, even two years after the fact. The cost was reasonable and she absolutely did a fantastic job. If I ever have another tattoo itch that needs scratching, I'll be coming here to meet with crystal. You should all do the same ;) read more

The location of this place is brilliant. Plenty of times I have strolled in here after one too many next door and have always left with great work. Last night I made the sober decision to come in and get a tattoo before one too many this time and the work is as great sober as it is when I'm not. Matt did a few small hearts on me but my absolute favorite are the tiny Mickey ears behind my ear, they came out so dainty and perfect. The shop is clean and everyone has a great sense of humor and are fun to be around while getting worked on. No doubt we will be back sooner than later. I would highly recommend Matt and Christian, fun ass personalities and great skills. read more

I'm so glad I found this shop. The vibe is friendly, it's extremely clean, my artist was on point, and they are very reasonable. Being a female, I have found that getting tattooed (especially without a buddy) can be very uncomfortable, and usually my friends aren't interested in sitting through a session with me, but going to this shop I never once felt uncomfortable being there, I felt safe and the artist was extremely respectful. I also appreciated that he was very spot on with the art that I wanted. I will be recommending this place to anyone who is looking for a new artist and a good shop. Oh and my artist was @KareemTattoo - I definitely recommend checking him out! read more
