I decided to do hand tattoos for my first tattoo, and she just made me feel so comfortable, made sure that I understood how hand tattoos heal. She definitely made my first experience feel so heartwarming. I fell in love. The moment that I saw her on Instagram after I discovered her through ChatGPT, I completely fell in love with her artwork. She definitely is exactly what I was looking for, especially for my hand tattoos as they are fine line and super tiny. I would definitely recommend her 100%. I love the fact that her studio is a one-on-one kind of appointment setting. I definitely felt the attention to detail and the one-on-one experience with her.

It's been about 2 weeks and I love my tattoo, which has been healing nicely. Hana was able to answer all my questions and communicate clearly with me, from the initial email discussion to appointment day. The communication aspect is important to me and I'm happy to have found an artist that matches that. Thanks again Hana and I look forward to working with you in the future!

This is important to me, since this was out of my comfort zone & I'm an anxious person. The artist, St. Mary, was wonderful.

Thank you to all!

A close friend of mine and I came here in January. Getting piercings together was our third stop…read moreduring our girls day in the OC. Unfortunately, parking at The Camp isn't all that great. I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

After 9 years, I decided to go for my second tattoo. This one was going to be more visible, and…read moredeeply meaningful, so I put a great deal of thought and research into which artist to go to. My friend Sheila recommended Charlot after having great experiences with her, and today I finally had the pleasure of meeting with Charlot! I can't recommend her highly enough. Throughout the whole process, Charlot was communicative, professional, creative, and such a fun person to be around. Her studio was so pretty and a lovely environment to be in. We made the surprising discovery that we both speak Italian! For this part of the world, that's a unique thing to have in common! So fun! I can't stop looking at my tattoo. It is exactly how I imagined it. I will absolutely be going back to Charlot in the future and highly recommend her for your next (or first!) tattoo!

I was nervous I would be able to find someone able to capture the love I had for my cat. Charlot made it happen. It was better than I could ever imagine.

Her studio is beautiful and inviting. She makes her you feel comfortable. Her work is absolutely amazing. My whole family is in awe of my tattoo and all say she really captured our cat. Thank you for the beautiful piece!

Got my conch piercing from Nat! She was amazing. I was able to talk through all of my questions…read morewith her and she was very kind & informative that I felt very safe getting my piercing. Nat was also very honest & thorough in her assessments, as I had a previously failed double helix that I wanted to get it re-done, but she pointed out that it didn't heal well enough to do it so I ended up getting the conch instead. Many cheap piercing places won't be as thorough and honest about what's possible vs. not safe, just to get more money out of you. So her honesty was not only reassuring & professional but refreshing!! We did a walk-in with a group of 6 but she still provided service for all of us so I was very thankful for her patience :) The location itself is well put together, and the restroom was very clean & vibey. The front desk helper was very kind as well. Definitely would visit again! Make sure to bring your physical ID (as you should when going to any piercing shops)

Great communication and a lot of patience with me. He was all smile and laughter which made my nervousness went away.

Since I didn't get to have a face to face consultation but rather via dm, I'm really glad our first impression was positive. With that said, we made plans for future tatts and I'm excited.

I came in with a general idea, and she took it to another level with her creativity and attention to detail. Throughout the whole process, Keena made sure I was comfortable and informed, explaining each step and checking in to see how I was doing. My tattoo turned out better than I ever imagined, and I've gotten so many compliments on it already! If you're looking for an artist who's talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, Keena is the one. Highly recommend--can't wait to come back for my next piece!

However, my boyfriend was present during the appointment and heard the conversation firsthand. The comments about me needing to lose weight were made at least 5 times, which is why they made me uncomfortable. I also found the owner's use of the term "extra flesh" in his public response to be unprofessional and reflective of the concerns raised in my original review. Never once did I mention "extra flesh" so you see they literally body shame even publicly. I stand by my experience. While my piercing healed well with the titanium jewelry I selected, the repeated comments about my body and the pressure I felt to purchase more expensive jewelry are the reasons I chose not to return. -------- I originally booked an appointment here because they operate by appointment only. However, I was surprised to learn that both appointments and deposits are cash only. In a time when most businesses accept cards, Apple Pay, and other digital payment methods, this felt unnecessarily inconvenient. During my visit, I decided to get my belly button pierced. Unfortunately, the experience left a negative impression. Throughout the appointment, the piercer an Asian lady repeatedly commented that I needed to lose weight. These remarks were unsolicited, unprofessional, and made me uncomfortable. For context, I am 5'3" and approximately 123 pounds. Regardless of anyone's size or personal fitness goals, customers should not have to listen to repeated comments about their body during a piercing appointment. I came in for a service, not for criticism about my appearance. After that experience, I decided I would not return. Another issue I had was the constant pressure to purchase more expensive jewelry. I specifically requested titanium jewelry because I had researched it beforehand and wanted an option that is commonly recommended for sensitive skin. Despite this, I felt repeatedly pushed toward more expensive alternatives and was told I would be more likely to experience problems if I chose titanium. In my case, that was not true. My piercing healed without infection, and I was happy with my choice. Six months later, once my piercing had fully healed, I wanted to upgrade my jewelry and visited Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing. The difference in customer service was night and day. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and professional. They answered my questions without judgment, made me feel comfortable, and provided a much more positive experience overall. I was also surprised to find that both their piercing services and jewelry were approximately half the price of what I had been quoted at Eddie's. On top of that, Platinum Ink accepts multiple forms of payment, including credit cards and Apple Pay, and they welcome walk-ins, making the entire process much more convenient. I cannot speak to the quality of the tattoo work here since I only received a piercing. However, based on my personal experience, I would choose Platinum Ink Tattoo & Piercing without hesitation. Customer service, professionalism, and making clients feel comfortable should be a priority, and unfortunately that was not my experience here.
