    This place is great! My wife and I make the drive all the way from San Diego to see Dre because we know we are in good hands! Dre is a super talented artist and a true professional! His art work is super clean and I respect his knowledge and recommendations. I would highly recommend! The shop is super cool too!

    I took my daughters in to get piercings last weekend for Christmas. Madison was so sweet! She walked the girls through the whole process and made them feel super comfortable. She took her time and did a beautiful job! Thanks Madison!

    Most Cutest Bat Sonny Angel

    Arlene was so sweet and helpful! Had awesome conversations with her while she did the most cutest tattoo ever! She made me feel really comfortable and the vibe was chill and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend everyone and anyone to get tattooed by her! She does amazing work!

    Cover up

    This review is for the owner Brandon who also did my cover up. Brandon was able to did an excellent job on my old tattoo. My husband and I love the way it turn out. Again thank you for your service although I known cover up is not easy.

    Lessly's Piercing

    I'm writing this review for 3 people. The first person I'm going to shout out is Talia (Tattoo Artist). I had been wanting to get another tattoo for a while now and I found blackbird on yelp, so I just casually walked in. Talia was the one that helped me out, and she was super friendly & helpful! Even though she was busy, she took the time to listen to what I wanted and recommended the best artists for the specific style I wanted. I am pretty impulsive, so I was ready to just book an appointment with her, but she strongly recommended I check out the other artists as well. She could've easily just said "yeah I'll take you" and book the appointment, but she didn't and that was awesome. Mad respect for her. The next person that is contributing to this 5-star review is Lessly (Piercer). I had my ears pierced before, but I let the holes close. Also, I made the foolish mistake of trying to re-pierce them myself a while ago (bad idea), so it created some scar tissue. I went to a different piercer about two years ago and she told me I couldn't re-pierce my ears because I had too much scar tissue. Turns out I really didn't have that much scar tissue, and my ears were still able to get pierced. Lessly was dope! I didn't have an appointment (I was there for a tattoo consultation) and she was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend her Last but not least, Andre (Tattoo Artist that gave me the sickest bicep piece haha!) sealed the deal. I shot him over the ideas for my tattoo + the overall end goal of my sleeve, and he came back with recommendations / suggestions that not only made my idea better, but made me feel like he had my best interest at heart. A true professional at his craft. Everyone I've met and worked with at BlackBird is -- excuse my French-- DOPE AS F**K

    Got my Tupac nose ring finally lol

    New to Covina area and overall great experience. The person who was their piercing expert was super chill and super friendly. She was great! Super quick, in and out. First time ever getting my nose done. Really happy with it. Brought in my own jewelry but got one there on site instead that was better fit for me. She is totally knowledgeable and just great experience. If I decide to get more piercing definitely the go to spot. Vibe was super chill. She made the experience perfect

    Love coming here for my piercings, lessly does such an amazing job . Just got my cartilage done and i love it . I would recommend coming here for a more comfortable and fun environment .

    Conch and double nostril
    Samantha B.

    I got my conch and double nostril pierced by Leslie in February and my conch has been my best healing piercing by far. (For reference I have had over 15 piercings) The conch piercing itself was a breeze, and the healing process was even better. Can't wait to go back.

    one new piercing on each lobe + cartilage
    Melissa M.

    I got my first tattoo here from Talia, and three piercings from Andre. So so so happy with all their work. I had my piercings done first and was supposed to go for a 4th cartilage but Andre advised to come back another time for it, just because the first three were so close together that it would be hard getting to the rook so close to two fresh piercings...a thoughtful suggestion for my own sake which I appreciated. He took the time to clean up after I bled a lot too. My tattoo design was pretty simple but Talia took her time with it and made sure all the corners were tight and all the lines were clean and solid. Everyone was very kind and patient to answer any questions I had especially since it was my first time under the needle. If I do decide to fill my crystal with color or shading I will 100% be back here again. Thank you Blackbird.

    Look how close it is to the edge. It's not right.

    Alright I'm a little upset for my gf who came by for a piercing today. Shes been wanting her septum for awhile now, and usually I get my work done by Johnny from kokopelli out of Southgate. But being I no longer live close to the area I called this place, since we stopped by one time for a jewelry change and the young girl was so helpful. Today we showed up and the gentlemen andre who was piercing helped us. He was super chill, she signed the waiver, got the jewelry, he set up and both of us went to the back. He took out the clamps, needle, all was well. He aligned the clamp to her nose, had her breathe and pushed the needle through. Now..she was in super pain, i thought it was due to just receiving a normal piercing but when he added the jewelry I noticed right away how low, and close to the edge the piercing was. I'm thinking, this doesn't seem right. I mentioned it to my mom who was waiting in the lobby so she made the comment. The gentlemen said, no this is normal placement, but, I have my septum and where my dude pierced it, it's more higher, in the bulb area of your nose, just above the cartilage. This who thing bothered me so much being the piercings here aren't the cheapest, that I reached out to my homie Johnny at koko and sent this picture that I took asking him if it was placed properly and he advised no. It's extremely wrong being, it can easily be ripped out. Now what is frustrating is that my girl is now going to take it out after spending $60 bucks and has no interest of going through this again because she is tainted from the second traumatic experience getting a piercing. I hate being this person as the dude was nice, but I'd suggest not coming here, if the young girl is not piercing, so the attached photo doesn't happen to you.

However, when I arrived, I was informed by another staff member that the piercer Paul was running late, which was not communicated to me beforehand. During the piercing process, I felt the experience lacked proper communication and professionalism. I was told he was about to begin, but there was no clear countdown or warning before the needle was inserted. The procedure itself did not feel smooth, as there was a moment where the piercing was not fully through, which added to my discomfort. Pricing was also a concern. The forward helix piercing itself was $70. I then purchased a basic titanium rook jewelry piece for $20 (for a piercing I already had), bringing the total to $90. I added a $10 tip, making my final total $100. Given the quality of the experience, I did not feel that the service justified the cost and left feeling taken advantage of. I chose this shop because of its reputation and familiarity, especially since I was visiting my hometown and opted to come here instead of going to a studio in San Diego where I currently live. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet my expectations, and I left feeling disappointed.
