    Today I got my first real tattoo with Nina and expressed how nervous I was. She was so sweet and patient with all my questions and thorough with explaining the process. I love my tattoo she did for me and it was nowhere near what I thought the pain level would be. Nina talked to me throughout making sure I was comfortable and not in pain. I absolutely loved getting my work done with her and would recommend her in a heart beat. She even touched up an old small finger tattoo I had. Also when I got the finger tattoo it was super painful but when Nina did it, it was nowhere near the pain level that I originally had getting it done the first time.

    Tried to get most of it. But pictures can't do it justice. So happy with it!

    Nina went above and beyond, I originally just booked with her to do a little birthday scorpion for myself but after examining the area she noticed my previous rooster above and offered if I'd like for her to touch it up. But that doesn't do it justice. She completely transformed it and made all come together as one tattoo, gave me good after home care instructions. It was so nice because she understood the pigment changes and with being on the more tan side she understood my concerns and in general how the ink can heal. I look forward to coming back and working with her on many more projects. That aside, the shop is so clean and very open and have a calm feel when you enter. I haven't removed the bandage just yet. But wanted to still show a picture.

    Super responsive and helpful, made me comfortable for my first tattoo and was just an awesome experience. Highly recommend! Definitely coming back, she truly loves to make art into reality and had respect to what I wanted but also gave me guidance.

    Nina is AMAZING! Worth the 60 miles to get tattooed by her again. She got the concept and changes down on the fly and and knew what I wanted exactly. Love her definitely the only person I'd let ink me.

    I reached out to NinaLoweCrow tattoo to get a tattoo fixed. I asked her to get it done before certain date and she agreed. I provided the design and agreed with her about the price, $100 deposit, $300 tattoo. She never mentioned how many sessions it will take and I paid everything upfront. The first session I got a moon design (photo) and we needed to schedule a second session. For the second session I had an emergency and needed to reschedule. She gave a new date but I couldn't make it due to work obligations. She was not flexible about date and times and could not accommodate me before the date we had agreed initially. I don't recommend her services and she charged me for a tattoo that wasn't completed. She is not an experienced tattoo artist at all - see photo, the moon is her piece. She mentioned there was a policy but did not want to return the money. She offered the deposit back but she kept the rest of the money for a unfinished tattoo. Never heard from her about a refund. She kept my $400.

    5 out of 5 , wish I could give more ! Great service, Nina is amazing, and so is her boss . I was extremely lucky to get my first tattoo from here from the moment you walk in they treat you like a friend not a customer. Throughout the session she makes sure you're doing ok , she puts your comfort above getting the job done fast. I loved my experience here , definitely will recommend!

    Fenrir Tattoo by Nina

    I had the pleasure of being tattooed on my left arm by Nina -- after a very quick, efficient, and simple process of making an appointment. Cut to a week later, what an unexpected surprise my visit to Nina's tattoo parlor was. I'd like to mention the cleanliness of the shop -- this isn't always the case when visiting tattoo parlors. It was in an immaculate setting, and I am always glad to walk into a shop that looks as clean and great as Nina's. During the tattooing, this kind former nurse truly took care of me. She checked to make sure if I was doing all right, ensured that I didn't catch any sort of infection, and even reduced some of the swelling that occurred in the process. The process took about five hours or so, and it was full of line-work and complicated curves that Nina had no problem just plowing right through. A steady hand by Nina and wonderful topics of conversation by the both of us went on that evening. It has been a full month now since I received my tattoo from Nina, & I'd like to add that it's one of my best. I proudly display my Fenrir tattoo on my arm and if I ever run into Nina again, I'd implore her to tattoo me again. Please visit her shop and see for yourself! You will walk away with one of the greatest tattoos on your body.

    Had some great touch up / add on work done last week. My biggest pet peeve is when tattoo artists is that they have terrible customer service skills and make the whole ordeal feel impersonal. Will be coming back for more work

Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her. Everything went so smoothly and it was mostly painless - only a pinch in the process but no discomfort after the jewelry was already in. My friends and I left with super cute nostril piercings! Highly recommend this studio. Very grateful and happy with the experience here.

    I was going to leave my review as is but i will not be called a liar about my experience then…read morepressured to delete my review entirely. "Regarding your wait time, management confirmed it was significantly shorter than stated" - attached are photos at 6:20pm on 4/11/26 aka the time i went in & upon arrival i asked to use the restroom, i took a selfie amongst other pics & the date & time can be found on each one. When leaving, i was asked for my information & to enroll in ur $5 off coupon which was at 8:16pm on 4/11/26. almost exactly two hours, not sure which manager looked into that but i did not randomly chose that number. Consultation - Tabitha asked via phone if i was given the option or made aware of threadless vs threaded jewelry, i was not nor was I given the option between the two. (Im assuming since you guys only carry threadless anyways.) Lacy said the piercings could get expensive when downsizing multiple sizes & when custom jewelry becomes a thing (she gave me an example of hers that have a wide flat back) which i understood. I was never told the jewelry on hand would be so flimsy or else i would have left with a spare set. or why wouldnt that be offered if its a known thing that theyre just going to break soon after? "our management team has reached out multiple times" - Tabitha called me on 4/20/26 at 2:03pm post yelp review & asking me to elaborate which i did. she apologized & said she would investigate & immediately followed up asking if i could "take down the yelp review" I initially agreed but im so glad i didnt. All that was asked of me was to pick a date & time & she will have someone replace the jewelry that broke at the el monte location but she would have to call me back & let me know if there was someone at that location who COULD do it & that she would call back. when she called back at 2:38pm 4/20/26 she stated ordering a threaded set would take 6-8 weeks & that she will order my downsize. we agreed on that solution & hungup. Then 4/28/26 Tabitha texts me & there was no solution so we could agree on so thanked her & left it at that (screenshots attached as well) "waived fees" - crazy cause you guys swear this is something special. when i get my nails done & one breaks theyre quick to fix it FOR FREE & not keep reminding me that breakage could happen nor badgering me that IM at fault for it/knew the risks. Theres no fee to waive if i want to put the jewelry in my own face for free which you guys denied me of because u didnt want to mail them to me. "we offered appointments at our other locations with free parking lots" - text attached of Tabithas convo but she definitely stated STREET parking, exactly how the LA location is so.. not sure where the "Convenience & Options" were. sorry it came to this Leo, maybe ask both sides next time instead of just listening to one.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.

Not only is this woman one of the most talented humans alive, but she is such an amazing and kind person and getting to be tattooed by her has become such a highlight of my life. When I first met her, I was in a really bad place with my health. I was living with some very serious health issues and was just overall struggling so much and truthfully, I felt like a foreigner in my own body. I first got a Wicked tattoo done by her and when I walked into Supersweet, I was so nervous. I had many other tattoos but I was just in a very vulnerable place and at that time, everything made me anxious. When she sat down with her designs, what she had come up with took my breath away. It was so much better than I could have ever imagined and it was the most stunning design I'd ever seen. As we sat down to get started, she could tell that I was nervous and was so gracious, gentle, compassionate and understanding, and really took her time to make sure I felt safe. This meant the world to me. After that, I was scheduled to have a tattoo with her again, and I needed to cancel bc I ended up having emergency back surgery. She was, again, so kind, loving, understanding and supportive. I have since come in and gotten quite a few more tattoos with her and for the first time in so long, my body feels like my own again and I am excited to look down and see my beautiful tattoos done by her. I fully intend to be her client from now until, honestly, however long she'll have me. Her work is stunning and I have so much fun at our sessions. She is someone I deeply appreciate and I truly couldn't be more grateful for Alexa! She's such a kind human, that my husband, who SWORE he would never get a tattoo started warming up to the idea because he finally felt safe and comfortable and that was solely because of her. He officially just got his first tattoo from her. I am so excited for more tattoo fun and I HIGHLY recommend booking with her!

After I sent over my deposit, I met with her virtually to go over ideas for my design, and she worked up the art before my appointment. She even moved the appointment up an hour to give us more time to finalize the design and placement. As for the work itself, it's amazing. Iryna is clearly a very talented artist, and it shows in her work. She was also very attentive to making me feel comfortable throughout the 6+ hour appointment, which was really great. The shop itself was very clean, and my interactions with the staff and setting up the appointment were professional, smooth, and easy. I mostly corresponded through the shop's email, and they were very accommodating with scheduling and answering my questions. They also took my photos and general intentions for Iryna to be able to access during our appointments. I really appreciate them scheduling the virtual consultation before I came in-person. They also gave me a very reasonable estimate for the work! All in all, it was a super pleasant experience. My final note is only to do with payment. Mantle offers several methods to pay your balance, like venmo, zelle, and they have a credit card reader. Through no fault of the shop, Zelle blocked my transfer attempt, so a piece of advice to clients is to have backup payment methods available to save time. The credit card option was a nice backup, but the credit card terminal does charge a service fee.

I was actually referred to THS by multiple people so I looked into them and found Endry. His work really impressed me and my boyfriend who was also a tattoo artist back in the day. So I booked an appt to have a very simple roman numeral tattoo done under my collarbone. The booking process was actually very easy and the shop worked with me. There's a $200 minimum and there's a $100 deposit that you Venmo before the appointment is made. I honestly found the booking process super smooth and easy. If you can find it, there's metered parking right in front of the shop which is super convenient. I honestly love the vibe of this place. Endry was so kind and welcoming and made my first tattoo the best experience it could've been (also want to note I have a needle phobia so this is a legit compliment). I have since seen Endry multiple times for more extensive work. Endry is truly an incredible artist who really puts care and consideration into each piece. You can tell he really cares about his craft and I have so much respect for that. Working with him has been a pleasure and I look forward to my next session with him. I actually recently got my forearm done with a beautiful fine line floral wrap and I am still in awe at the photorealistic detail in the flowers. I found my artist and my place and I would 100% recommend going here whether it's your first or you're looking to continue on in your tattoo journey.

Showed him a few AI examples and he had me send him one that he/we thought looked cool. I didn't really put a ton of thought into it just figured "sure. Do your thing with it." I probably should've noticed the AI flaw in the stencil, but, as my regular artist pointed out, he definitely should have noticed, especially since he had the original photo. A little miscommunication but oh well. On top of that it's really really light so I'm going to have to have my normal artist fix it and touch it up. I wasn't even going to leave a review because it's partly my fault, and I don't really care that much, but like my normal artist pointed out, he's supposed to notice these kind of things. Then I realized the only reason I don't really care is because it's somewhere not normally visible. If it was on my arm I would be horrified. Other than that, they were cool, the booking process was easy, and reasonably priced. Also the shop was super clean which is important to me so 3-stars
