He said that he would change to a shorter post if I came back in a month. This was $150, plus tip. After a couple of weeks, the earrings continued to look ridiculous, as they appeared to be falling out of my ears. I called and explained the problem. They said I could walk in any time during open hours. When I did, they said I could get a "discount" and pay $63 to replace the posts that were too long from day one. This did not include the decorative part of the earrings, only the 1/8" posts. At no time, on the day of piercing, or on the phone call, was there mention of additional fees for earrings that were too long when they were 1st placed. If you want to pay a hefty amount and your piercings to look idiotic, here's your place.

I had a pretty disappointing experience at this piercing shop. I understand they were low on stock…read morebecause of the Friday the 13th sale--that's totally reasonable--but what really threw me off was the lack of basic customer service. I asked the front desk worker if she could recommend another nearby studio, and she straight up said that wasn't part of her job. I'm sorry, but if you're working the front desk in customer service, isn't your role literally to help customers? Even just a simple suggestion or showing some willingness to help would've gone a long way. The attitude came off dismissive and unhelpful, which completely ruined the experience for me. Definitely expected more professionalism.

From the start of our conversation on here, Alf was responsive, honest and helpful. I voiced my concern on how it'll be my first and he helped me through the design, the size and helping me feel comfortable when we first started. He lightened the experience by telling me stories, his experiences, and gave me the comfortability of making sure I wasn't in pain while checking up on me during the experience. I got two done and not only was it fast but both tattoos were perfect. I'd definitely go back here for my next one and my other next one. Thank you, Alf!

This is the only shop I will go to in Long Beach (or at all)…read more I have been getting tattooed here for 5 years now and I have been tattooed by Kevin, Austin, and Nick. Every experience has been great. The artists all know how to turn your ideas into a reality and give you a truly custom piece of work. Each artists has their own style and they will direct you to the right person for what you want. Each artist is welcoming, makes sure you're comfortable, and includes you in the conversation. Austin has been working on a full leg sleeve and he has really gone above and beyond with each piece of the sleeve and I'm so excited to see it finished. Everything is fantasy, metal, alien all with a comic book feel. Kevin is my go-to artist to give me any traditional, psychedelic, and pop culture pieces and he's just a fun person to be around so spending time in the chair is super comfortable.

All of the staff was super friendly and helped me check in at the kiosk. I was referred to Charlene by a friend after I saw the beautiful tattoo she had gotten by her. I had wanted an Owl tattoo for years and I felt Charlene could deliver on the detail I wanted. She was very communicative and professional thru the whole process and everything at the studio was done under very aseptic technique. We also really had a nice time chatting during the hour or two she was doing my artwork. I got a bit clammy at the start so she gave me a little break and then I think adrenaline kicked in and nerves calmed and we tired a fan on and I was good to go. Once she was done I was absolutely in love with my new tattoo. He's so cute! I couldn't be happier!! And I'm already healing well. Thank you Charlene and all OL staff!!

Met some of the other artists and chatted with them while I was getting worked on and loved seeing everyone's different styles. They were all preparing for Friday the 13th and I got to see some of their flash pages. Really friendly people to talk to. Thanks again, Brianna. You're not only one of my favorite artists, but also one of my favorite people!

Obsessed with Retro Row Ink -- Andrew, in particular. Ughh I love him! He's so warm and immediately…read moremade me feel completely cozy and comfortable. My little brother has a few tattoos by Andrew and only has the very best things to say, plus his tattoos and the line work look SO so good... so when my sister and I recently visited said brother in Long Beach, we had to put Retro Row Ink on the agenda. This tattoo shop is one big open room with maybe 8-10 artist-stations throughout. Everything is super clean, colorful, and welcoming, and of course there's tons of beautiful artwork by the resident tattoo artists across the walls. You gotta browse and enjoy all the different talent! My sister got a couple small tattoos, some script and then her daughters' initials worked into a tattoo she already has. Andrew sent us a link to a website where we could search and select fonts, but if you need ideas your tattoo artist will definitely have them! I like the idea of tiny tattoos on my hands/fingers, just one tiny step at a time, hahah. I decided to get a single teensy star, which I now call the North star. It looks like a classic, Christmassy twinkle star... or what a single light looks like in the dark when you have an astigmatism, ha. ANYWAY, it's the perfect tiny little sparkle and Andrew was able to draw it with the tiniest, finest little lines. I love it. I'll see how it heals and how the ink takes to my hand-skin, but I'm already making plans for my next Long Beach trip so I can see Andrew again!
