Cat tattoo by Jenn

I got a memorial piece for my kitty from Jenn and you can definitely tell Jenn really cares about the design with high standards, because my tattoo was so detailed! The flowers are so pretty!!! I'm already looking forward to more pieces by Jenn!

I love this place. The space is gorgeous and a really cool place to get work done. The artists are really cool. Caleb did my first piece, it healed perfectly in a week or so and I'm dying to go back to get more done. Now my wife and friends are planning on going here asap.

This place is da bomb. Warm inviting comfortable atmosphere. Mostly female artists. Queer friendly, vegan friendly. Lots of blackwork, stipplework and line-work.

My two sisters and I took our mom to Black Penny this past weekend so that we could get matching tattoos for her 80th birthday. We worked with Henry, and he was awesome! He has such a nice way about him, and really connected with our family. He did wonderful work and we will definitely go to him in the future. The studio is awesome! Loft feel, open, airy, industrial modern. It has such a good vibe. We did a Yelp search to find a studio and could not have been happier that we ended up at Black Penny with Henry. He made a special occasion even more special, and we will never forget the day.

I drove out to get a traditional American tattoo from Wolf and it was great. He took the time to listen to my ideas about what I wanted and executed it to my liking with real professionalism. The shop is very cool and Wolf was great. While I was there I saw two other people get wonderful tattoos so take my 5 star Yelp review as a rating of all 3 artists. (Sorry I don't remember your names)

No skill. Rude. Inpatient. Prices all over the place. Only open to the style they like.

The cleanliness of the studio, the friendliness of the artists, and even the thoughtful amenities in the bathroom were all top tier. I've been to many different tattoo studios, and De La Luz has been the best experience I've had thus far. And now, the tattoo speaks for itself! Fernando did an absolutely amazing job and was extremely professional throughout the entire process. Thank you, Fernando and De La Luz, for such an amazing experience! I'll definitely be back!

I recently scheduled a follow-up appointment with him for a touch-up. As the appointment date approached, the time was changed without any explanation, which was already inconvenient because I had taken the day off work specifically for this appointment. I then drove 58 miles--over an hour--to the studio to see Uriel specifically. When I arrived, I was informed by the employees that he was not there due to an emergency. I completely understand that emergencies happen, and that was not the issue. What was disappointing was the lack of communication and follow-up afterward. One of the employees was kind enough to perform the touch-up for me, which I appreciated, but it was not the experience I had scheduled or driven there for. I made the trip specifically to have the work done by Uriel. Even after the appointment, I received no follow-up message or apology. As someone who has supported Uriel's work for years and has remained a loyal client through his move from Hollywood to his new studio, I found the lack of communication and consideration extremely disappointing. I believe longtime clients deserve basic courtesy and communication, especially when they have gone out of their way to support an artist over the years

Extremely disappointing and distressing experience with piercing services…read more Unfortunately, my experience with this piercer was deeply upsetting, and I feel it's important to share the details so others can make an informed decision before booking. I had two piercings done, a septum and a navel, and both experiences raised serious concerns about the piercer's technique, judgment, and professionalism. One piercing was performed despite concerns about whether I had the appropriate anatomy for it. I was assured that I did, but the experience left me questioning that assessment. Both piercings were extraordinarily painful, and the jewelry initially used was too small. During the original piercing appointment, the piercer also made comments about my body that I found sexual in nature and inappropriate in a professional setting. This added another layer of discomfort to an already distressing experience. When I returned to address the jewelry sizing, the piercer offered to replace the jewelry if I purchased new pieces. I agreed, but the replacement process was equally concerning. He called over a coworker who had already finished their shift and appeared to be in a considerable hurry to leave. During the attempted replacement, my concerns and requests to stop were not respected. Pliers were used to manipulate the jewelry, but the attempt to grip it appeared unsuccessful, and my nose was injured in the process. The bleeding was substantial enough that I was sneezing out blood clots for days afterward. There was also an attempt to upsize my navel piercing just two hours after it had been pierced, apparently because the appropriate longer bar was unavailable. Rather than obtaining suitable jewelry, the piercer attempted to force a larger piece through. I found this deeply concerning, particularly given how recently the piercing had been performed. When things went wrong, I did not feel that my concerns were taken seriously. Instead of taking responsibility for what had happened, the piercer ultimately placed the blame on me, and I left without an apology. I was also made to feel at fault for the jewelry situation, despite having initially been pierced with jewelry that was too small. I understand that piercings involve discomfort and that complications can occur. My concerns are not simply that the experience was painful or that something went wrong. They are the combination of questionable technique, inappropriate comments about my body, disregard for my request to stop, and a lack of accountability afterward. I cannot speak to the quality of the shop's tattoo services, as I have no personal experience with them. I can only speak to my experience with its piercing services, which I found profoundly disappointing and distressing. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering getting pierced here to ask careful questions about anatomy, jewelry sizing, and procedure, and to ensure that their concerns and boundaries are respected throughout the process. This happened on my birthday, making an already upsetting experience particularly difficult to forget. I genuinely wish it had gone differently.
