    Love my new tongue piercing!
    Nana L.

    I got my tongue pierced FOR THE FIRST while the piercer was in (best to call the shop before walking in!) and I gotta say the process was amazingly smooth.

    Two nose piercings
    Lece B.

    I had an amazing experience! Ms Nana is so fun she made me feel so comfortable and she is hilarious...all my piercings will be done by her from now on! She sings she dances and she just an all around hoot

    Came back for another tattoo with Sevada and I'm so happy I did! He makes you feel so safe and comfortable. He really takes his time with it and makes sure you love the result and won't let you leave until you're 100% happy. Couldn't recommend this place enough

    double helix!
    Lenz C.

    absolutely GOATED piercer here! went to so cal ink to attend their friday the 13th deal, $31 piercings and $50+ tatts! the wait was extreme for piercings but went quicker for tatts! but IT WAS WORTH it, seriously.. asked for double helixes, "Nana" is the piercer and she was amazing! immaculate vibes, humorous woman and so quick with piercings! i felt so comfortable with her, so much so that i'm definitely making this place my to-go now!

    I can't recommend So Cal Ink enough! From the moment I walked in I was impressed by how clean and welcoming the shop was. Sev is incredibly talented and did an amazing memorial piece for my cat. He takes great pride in his work and it is more beautiful than i could have ever imagined! Every detail was perfect. If you are looking for a talented artist that takes great pride in their work, Sev is your guy!!

Very clean atmosphere and the staff were super welcoming. Trevor was my piercer and was super kind. He picked the placement of my double flat piercing and made me feel comfortable to give feedback until I found a placement I enjoyed. He told me exactly what was happening during the piercing and I found it virtually painless (maybe 0.5-1 second of pain for the initial piercing). Highly recommend.

They reassured me that all the piercers were well-equipped to help kids (and anyone) through their nerves, and he was 100% correct. When I said I was planning to get my nose pierced in solidarity and to ease her nerves, they counseled me to do her piercing first, because sometimes seeing the process can add to nerves rather than ease them. Appointments were easy to schedule online, and we booked with Dee, who was fantastic. Very calm and patient, explained everything she was going to do and talked us through it as she went, helped us to breathe through our anxiety, and then it was over. So fast, just a second of discomfort, and my daughter is thrilled with her new earrings.

I requested a quote from several vendors and Allen was the first to reply and was super prompt with my follow up questions. At the shop, you can expect a sterile environment, but the vibes are wayyyy cool. Allen was thorough with his explanations and quelled any nerves that I had. He was very knowledgeable and his years of experience was comforting. I ended up with a gold 2mm stud and it looks great. Did it hurt? A little, but I feel like I get hurt when I get up from a long nap, so what do I know. Definitely would recommend this shop and Allen. He's great vibes, funny, super clean and very professional.

I came into the shop as a Hail Mary just to see if they carried something that would fit the studs I already owned. Not only was Allen able to help me and replace the flat backs on my existing jewelry, he also informed me that my naval piercing that fell out months ago wasn't closed. Instead of having to re-pierce Allen advised me all I needed to do was buy or bring in jewelry and he'd insert it for me. I love the honesty and how helpful Allen was! His advice saved me some coin and I'm so grateful this isn't a money grabbing establishment. This is my now my go-to spot!

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.

I had to wait a year to get my appointment because of how talented Bryan Ramirez is. I walked in, very hyped up, with a tiny 3x4 old ID picture of my father. Bryan treated the image on his computer, expanded it, and kept in touch throughout the process. After a few visits, he carefully listened to my project vision, embraced it, and, most importantly, provided real feedback about size, positioning, and expectations.

His attention to detail is incomparable. If you're searching for an experienced, skilled, detail-oriented tattoo artist, look no further. Contact Reservoir Tattoo Studio and speak with Bryan Ramirez, though I'm sure any artist linked to this studio is just as talented and professional. Can't wait to return for a future session.
