    Updating my review after my downsize appointment. I appreciate the courtesy and help from the piercers on site to help correct what I got from Joelle here. I still will not raise my review higher though because it's truly alarming that a place can hire someone to shove needles through someone's face and let them slide doing a bad job. After downsizing and healing the placement, hole size, and angle is still wack and the bars still rub directly against my teeth. Every other piercer who has looked at my mouth has said "yikes". My previous review is below.

    Went in for a spontaneous piercing with friends, Elaina took the 3 of us in and got us pierced within an hour. So knowledgeable and very kind!

    Got my 2nd and 3rd tattoos here and definitely booking another appointment soon! Although I do love my first tattoo and the artist did a great job, I wasn't really made to feel very comfortable for it being my first tattoo. The opposite happened when I got my 2nd tattoo here (rose tattoo in photo). Marlon was amazing and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. And his line work is impeccable, I keep getting so many compliments on it. My 3rd tattoo (Jack Skellington tattoo in photo) was done on Friday the 13th by Doug. Same notes as above. I've already recommended this place to several friends. One actually recently got hers done and it looks amazing.

    Rating: I couldn't have asked for a better way on getting a tattoo at Skin Deep Tattoo! The atmosphere was electrifying, and the staff was incredibly talented and friendly. I went in with a vague idea, and the artist turned it into a masterpiece. IG: @peterlumarti TikTok: @peterlumartitattoo

    I had been looking for someone who could create the perfect lovers tattoo design and on a day where I had gone for a piercing by Mike (who is also incredibly amazing) I noticed Chelsie had a beautiful design. I paid my deposit for it and set up an appointment about a month and half later. Chelsie was so welcoming and ensured that I was comfortable throughout my whole session. She's very informative and straightforward about the process. This is by far my favorite tattoo and I look forward to going back for more from her. Sidenote: Everyone in the shop has a bright, fun energy which created a really comfortable environment as I sat through this piece.

    If she couldn't do the tattoo without "killing her" why didn't she say that BEFORE I gave her a deposit?
    Louisa L.

    I set up an appointment here with Chelsie almost two weeks in advance. It was going to be my first tattoo and I made sure to provide reference and be very clear about what I was looking for. On the day of the appointment it became clear that Chelsie had not even begun to design my tattoo yet, and she asked me multiple times if I was SURE I wanted what I asked for (all questions I would have been happy to answer two weeks prior when I booked the tattoo!) I wanted to get a tattoo that would match one my friend has, and Chelsie also offered, unprompted, to "fix" my friend's tattoo (that my friend and I love!) which I thought was very rude. She was friendly at first but the way she spoke to me on the day-of was very off putting, especially as someone getting their first tattoo, and I would not recommend her if you want an original design. I wish she had been upfront about what she likes to tattoo, and recommended me to someone else if she felt like our styles were not compatible. EDIT: She just posted on her Instagram story complaining about us and insulting my friends tattoo again? Your website says you provide a "cool laid back and friendly atmosphere with no intimidation where all are welcome." I can't believe I gave her a fifty dollar deposit to insult me and my friend and not even try to give me the tattoo I wanted.

    I recently went through a very traumatic event and have been on a beautiful healing journey and wanted to get something significant to me tattooed - it was very simple and easy, I had the font and everything ready and I was ecstatic when I moved nearby and saw this shop was within walking distance. I made a call to the shop and was connected to Luna who was super kind and flexible with my schedule. When I went for my appointment, I immediately vibed with Luna and prior to it was able to check out her own original designs. I definitely will be coming back for more of my own meaningful pieces as well as original designs by the talented Luna. The pricing was fair and honestly quite reasonable & Luna had such a light hand that I didn't feel a thing. Mine was just one word, simple but significant to me and this time period in my life, on my hand. I can't wait to return to this shop and get more pieces done by her in the (hopefully near) future!

    Something simple :)

    Kenny did an amazing job. He is calm, cool and collected, and a pleasure to be tattooed by. Will definitely recommend him to anyone!

    Couldn't be happier! Josh did some amazing work Josh was very professional with a clean station in this little hole in the wall shop. He covers it up with a second skin you leave on for three days and after I had no scabbing or dryness. Came out absolutely perfect. The lines are very clean and the design amazing. He has lots of great artwork to choose from. The shop was very clean and had a movie on in the background making it a great vibe inside ***Covid-19 update*** All surfaces (even display case) are cleaned in between every customer. All employees had masks and gloves

    Hand tattoo of Kentaro Miura's cover art for Berserk.
    Zeeshan K.

    The berserk manga was my favorite manga of all time. I was heart broken when Kentaro Miura passed away. I went to Chelsie at SKIN DEEP TATTOO & PIERCING to commemorate his artwork on my hand. She did it exactly that. Every line and dot was there. She honor him well. The environment was fun and clean. Chelsie was skilled enough to have 2 students under her. So they watched her work a masterpiece. I was happy with my permanent result.

    Hi! A set of nipple piercings is $120. That price includes the jewelry. We do have a female piercer who is available Thursday-Saturday

    Are you doing under the mask piercings currently, and if so is it possible to get a nostril piercing with a hoop initially rather than a stud?

    For a belly piercing do i have to use the jewelry in store or can i bring my own?

    You can bring in your own jewelry. Before your appointment, please let the piercer know that you brought jewelry with you and they can assess if its suitable for your piercing.

    Are you guys cash only?

    We accept cash, card, and venmo

    If my friend and I wanted to come in for matching tattoos together, would we have to make separate appointments because of Covid or would we both be able to come in at the same time?

    If u both got work done it would have to be with 2 different artist so u can both get it done at the same time. Would that be ok?

    Do you guys have the promotion tomorrow for Friday 13th?

    Please follow our Instagram page @skindeeptattoola for information on our Friday the 13th promotions and other events!

    We do not

    I'm thinking of getting one, maybe two, new small tattoos. I haven't gone to the shop that I've gotten my previous tattoos in several years. Any recommendations on who to go to at this location?

    My tattoo was done by Bruce, super knowledgeable on his craft. I would highly recommend going through their Instagram profile to check out the different artists and their certain styles depending on what you want to get.

    Hey! How much is your minimum price for a tattoo?

    $60 but design and location determines the price

    Can i come in and have my septum unscrewed? I cant unscrew it myself Is there a charge?

    How much is belly piercing without jewelry ? And when is piercer available

    $50 and she is available Tuesday after 4:30

So fast, just a second of discomfort, and my daughter is thrilled with her new earrings.

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.

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?

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.
