Sarah Christine is truly amazing! She pierced my daughter's helix and did a fantastic job. Recommend 100x over! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my girl! read more

I have to start by saying I'm not posting pictures yet because my tattoo isn't finished yet because of so many colors it started to muddy up so we had to stop. Which I'm totally fine with. My artist is raven aka sick boy. He's absolutely by far the best most talented person I've let work on me. He has a personality just like mine and everyone I met today has a banging personality to match! This place is great and is a whole vibe. I'm telling you if you're due for some ink therapy this is your place. Make sure to ask for sick boy as he's amazing and ready to help with your next project. read more

Well deserving of their near 5 star rating! All the reviews about Ricky are on point and true. He's so down to earth, nice, patient, and made me feel super comfortable. He's also quick to respond to messages (via Instagram @ricky_gibbs). His work is great and he's honest with his feedback as well. I was a little nervous going to him because I found him through a quick search for tattoo shops in the area on Yelp, found studio 71, searched Insta for the shop, DM'd the artists' profiles, and decided on him because he was quick to reply LOL. But I'm SOOO glad I did, because after looking at his work I saw that he's done a lot of floral and butterflies (which was what I wanted) but his portraits were amazing too! In the end, I was more than happy with how my tatts came out! He's the third artist I've worked with and by far the best and most memorable. HIGHLY recommend :) read more

I've gone to Ricky twice now and have had the best experience both times! I was a tattoo virgin and I'm so glad and happy to work with Ricky bc he def made the experience a lot less nerve wracking! Thank you, Ricky!! Any future tattoos for me, I'm def going back to you! read more

We have come here for more than one tattoo and this occasion was no exception. I brought my son to see Ricky for his first tattoo and his experience was excellent! Ricky was able to get my son exactly what he wanted and make sure he was good throughout the process. While there, Adrian touched up a cover up he did of Stitch on my chest that was showing through. It now looks absolutely amazing and I love it!! He also did my lucky cricket from Mulan on my ankle in about ten minutes after my Stitch was done! My Disney ink looks fabulous and I'm happy! read more

Best shop in the area. The shop is always spotless, staff masked. I have worked with Ricky on two tattoos and love them both. Ricky has a light touch and is a true artist and extremely talented. Whether you want black & white or full color you definitely need to go to studio 71. read more

I have been getting tattooed for over 10 years. My old shop that I got most of my work done closed up and relocated sometime back. Other than the tattoo work itself, one of the main reasons I missed that shop was because it was very welcoming and fun talking to the tattoo crew that manned the shop. In my spare time I'd visit different shops. I came across many talented artists but the shops didn't have the vibe or connection I once had. I visited Studio 71 on my drive home. Right away I loved how the shop was decorated. Guitars on the wall and a rusted car grill and bumper converted into a wall lamp. Complimenting the decor was some traditional trio country music playing in the background, definitely my style. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Adrian. Very easy going and welcoming. I told them that I wanted to tattoo my wife's name on me. I described to Adrian how I wanted it drawn and he said he would have some sketches to go over with me on our appointment. Finally a week went by and it was the day of my appointment. Adrian showed me one of the sketches. My wife and I instantly loved it! He walked us over to his work area and I was super impressed with the cleanliness and organization of his station. We all chatted as he worked on me. He was great in communicating the process of the tattoo. On a side note I believe that's a great quality to have for a client getting tattooed for the first time. After the session was over he went over the aftercare of the tattoo and answered questions. Over all I enjoyed the experience and his art. I definitely plan on returning to get more work done. I highly recommend this shop. Studio 71 keep up the great work guys and I look forward to my next session. read more

Clean, comfortable, and my go to! I originally came here to get a tattoo to represent my daughters birthday and have been back for 7 others since then, Adrian is amazing! His line work and attention to detail shows in his art. I've heard great things about the other artists in the shop as well as saw their work and would highly recommend this place! read more

Today I got my first tattoo done by Adrian. I contacted Adrian through Instagram and he replied so fast. Definitely made me feel really comfortable getting tattooed by him. I showed up at my appointment time and he already had some fonts printed out which helped a lot. He did amazing explained the products and the procedures and was very clear. The tattoo came out amazing. I'm so happy. Needless to say I will be coming again. read more

Went here for a Fundraising event for Kitty911. Got 2 tats an infinity symbol and a kitty cat. This shop is very good. They follow all legal and ethical procedure. It's very clean and well maintained. My artist Ricky Gibbs was very caring and will ask how you are doing during the process.Both look really great. Ricky is a new artist he did these simple tats easily. other pieces, I explained that I needed a piece ( a butterfly I have re- inked. I did have that done later at another date. In any case I was impressed with shop and would recommend it to a friend. Update: I have noticed that my lines are not straight on these pieces. The paw print was not filled in darkly enough. I've since had the infinity symbol re inked by a different artist. I would recommend the shop but I couldn't recommend the artist. He may have gotten better since last year at this time. read more

The shop is very clean and I felt comfortable from the time I arrived till the time I left. If you want a tattoo, go to Studio 71!!! read more

I've been getting tattooed since I was 15 and needed a lot of work fixing things when I moved to Cali. I've been getting tattooed by Ricky for over 5 years now and by far he's given me the best customer service ever. He's patient and even will recommend other artist. I'll follow him to any shop he goes too! read more

I've been looking for a tattoo shop for the past year and based on the reviews decided to stop by and check them out. I'm glad I did. The place is very clean and the staff are kind and down to earth. I met with one of the artists Tony to discuss my vision and what I wanted. Tony is extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional, and his work is top notch!!! I'm very happy with the final results and would highly recommend him. Thank you so much Tony :-)) read more

Fantastic Tattoo Studio 71! Love my new tattoo! I would highly recommend Adrian. He was professional, friendly and did a fantastic job.

10/10 recommend !! the artists were all very friendly, super informative and laid back ! The setting alone is enough to make you feel at home , but the kindness and quality is beyond my expectations ! This will be my new home shop - shout out to Adrian for killing it !! read more

I went in yesterday for a small tattoo. Awesome shop!! I walked in and was greeted by Ricky. We talked about what I was looking for. He drew it up as we chatted. This is honestly the best interacting I have EVER had with an artist. He was super down to earth. Never ever seemed annoyed with the tattoo I wanted (I've had this happen before at another shop). Once he drew it up I asked him to make two very small changes with the script. With no hesitation he made the changes. He again chatted during my tattoo so it wasn't just awkward silence. I will for-sure be going to him for another tattoo!!! Love his work and he was just an all around great person to deal with. read more

I have been getting tattoos from both Ricky and Tom for several years now, ever since they were at their old location. Now that they have moved to this location both of their work has drastically improved. You can tell that they are happy and it truly shows in their work. The shop itself looks very clean and tidy and the color scheme is very relaxing. The lighting is wonderful and the surrounding area is nice as well. Same parking lot as the Brentwood LMC and across the street from an awesome hookah lounge and pub. And right next door to a barbershop. They fit in very well with the surroundings. Everyone I've talked to about the work done by these guys have all agreed their work has improved so much since they moved here and I can't wait to continue working on my tattoo projects with these guys. read more

I stumbled across this place when my normal spot was booked. What a blessing. Adrian does fantastic work. He took my very vague idea and turned it into a beautiful tattoo. He was mindful of my pain tolerance, and was patient if I needed breaks. He's easy to talk to which is a great distraction when you have a needle on your skin lol. He also gave my sister her first tattoo- and she was stoked with the result- and that it didn't hurt the way she expected it to. Since April 2019, I've been back 3x. The staff is always very friendly and the place is super clean. Can't say enough good things about this place or Adrian as an artist. read more

I've been going to Tom ever since he worked at the Flying Dutchman. Tom now has his own shop in Brentwood called Studio 71. The shop has a great vibe, atmosphere, and killer music. Tom has never done me wrong as far as tattoos are concerned. If you have a design in mind or need some inspiration, stop by Studio 71 and talk to Tom! read more

I four tattoos that needed fixing three being cover ups and one needing to be fixed and added color. I took my time Googling since all the other tattoo spots I've been to in the past weren't that great. I came across Studio 71 and read the reviews. The owner Tom has great reviews so I decided to give him a try. I went by some time in June met him and set up an appointment. The shop itself is very neat and clean and welcoming. Tom was professional took some pictures of my tattoos and scheduled me. I went to see in for my first cover up. Tom has a poker face but once he starts working on you he's actually fun to chat with. I felt very comfortable and he went easy on me. So easy he asked was I ok cause I haven't kicked him yet, lol. I talked to him and his other artist and then before you know it I was done! Came back this Past Thursday to get my wrist done and my shoulder tattoo recolored. He spent some time on my shoulder and I thought he was just coloring it with the same colors. Boy was I wrong! He changed it and made it so pretty and realistic! It was like a new tattoo! I was so happy! We didn't get to my wrist but I go back at the end of this month! I can't wait! I love the fact that he listens to what you want, but he's the artist he takes the time to bro h your ideas to life. I recommend Tom to anyone looking for a great tattoo that you are sure to love! This will be my forever shop although after my tattoos I don't think I'll be getting anymore but you never know! Thank you Tom! Thank you Studio 71 for being so professional and friendly! read more

I love Ricky, he's such a cool dude and he's super funny. Made me feel right at home and made sure I was 200% comfortable with how I was positioned. He talked with me about my tattoo, got insight, and was able to adjust it when I asked him to. He's a great guy, and the place is so freakin' sanitary I could have continued to lay on the platform I was on haha. I recommend this place and, if you can, GET RICKY! Love this place, coming back in January for my No Face tattoo :) read more

I love this new shop! I've been going to Tom for about 3 years now, and his creativity and artistic insight continues to amaze me! It's great being able to look through the other artists' e-portfolios to see their unique style and flare, and ask questions about future work. It's clear that everyone is proud of their art and has pride in this shop--which makes me as customer feel comfortable and happy! Great job guys! read more

For real, please don't go to Adrian. I got a tattoo done by him in October and the second I took the bandage off, I cried. I originally wanted a script that said "With Pain Comes Strength" and he completely went out of the stencil I gave him, it was crooked, splotchy, and unprofessional. I called and asked for a refund and they refused. I'm now spending hundreds of dollars getting it removed because of how bad of a job it was. I am extremely disappointed and very sad. Wish I would of gone somewhere else. Now tattoos are ruined for me and I will never get another one. Again, don't go to Adrian. read more

Tom did a super job with my grandson Brody's portrait on my left arm...truly an artist!

My husband and I went to Studio 71, we had the pleasure of meeting and working with Jr. He was very nice, professional, and understanding of what my husband wanted. He was patient and walked us through the entire design, including his professional opinion on what may or may not work well on the skin and detailed description as to why. He was very knowledgeable and patient. Jr was able to come up with an awesome theme for our daughters name. Seriously, he is a really a great artist overall with his lettering and the details! The tattoo process was smooth and efficient, we were very pleased with the artist, his work, and the tattoo shop overall. The shop has a very cool vibe all through out Studio 71 they make you feel comfortable and chill with their music play list and the chill vibes. We definitely found our go to place for any future ink. The price is very reasonable for the quality of work as well. Thanks to Studio 71 for an amazing experience, we can't wait to go back for the next tattoo! read more

Ricky rocks. My mom passed away. I gave him an idea of what I wanted. He improved it and went to work. When he was done I was amazed. The color, details and lining was perfect.

Tom was recommended by a friend while at another shop. We were very pleased with his work. When we heard he opened his own shop, we immediately followed him and continued with more artwork. Between my wife and I we have had more than 15 tattoos by Tom and have been pleased every time. We are no longer in the area but will be making the hundred mile drive to continue the artwork. read more

I've been going to Tom for 2 years now and he is amazing! I was very excited to hear about the new shop. The place is badass. They have an awesome setup, extremely clean, friendly, and they really make you feel welcome. All the artists are so talented - it's nice to see their art work in addition to the tattoos. I've never seen a bad tattoo from them yet! They also really care about their clients and always make time for them. Whether it's a consultation, help on what to buy for after care, or even advice for future tattoos, they are always willing to help. They make themselves available for any questions and they never rush you. I've gone to 3 shops for previous tattoos and this is the place I'm going to stick to. I have 9 tattoos by Tom and the count will continue to go up. I'm so comfortable in this shop that I almost fall asleep every time I'm getting work done! Lol! Make an appointment at Studio 71!! You won't regret it! read more

Tom's a real genuine guy and an amazing artist. His studio is super clean and nice. I have many tattoos by him and get compliments all the time. If anyone asks who to go to, I tell them Tom!! If he's not available then I'm sure the other guys there are amazing also because there's no way Tom would have artists there who didn't meet his standards. read more
