    Went in on Friday the 13th to get ink done by Nikki & a nose piercing by Noni (sp?)the staff were amazing & friendly. I will definitely be back to get more ink done by Nikki, she is extremely talented & she didn't make the time awkward either (lol) Overall this tattoo shop is worth checking out.

    I absolutely recommend going to california ink studio. Packo has been my tattoo artist during which I have received 3 tattoos from him which have included new pieces and cover-ups, packo is incredibly talented!! I literally get stopped on the road and in the store and am complimented on my ink regularly. Not only is he talented, but he is incredibly professional and a really great guy all around. He is constantly finding new and ingenious ways to modernize tattooing. get tattooed by packo and none of would ever consider going anywhere else. If you're looking for a truly talented and professional tattoo artist I wouldn't recommend turning anywhere other than tattoo artist of california ink studio. Will be back again to this shop!!

    I got my Domestic Violence Awareness ribbon done here, I gave the artist an example of what I wanted and he used his great artist experience to bring the example tattoo to life and made my ribbon look so realistic. I LOVE it! The artist name is Mike, I saw some more his other art work on his Instagram and it's amazing! I definitely recommend him! Check his Instagram out nvme_artist

    I came in to get my ring finger tattooed as well as my husbands. Everyone at the shop said hello and seemed involved in their own work, I came to personally get tattooed by Karina Badillo and not only were we comfortable the entire time but the California ink was stocked with snacks and drinks at either side of the shop ( vending machines ) my personal experience was nothing but great I know both me and my husband will be returning to this shop to get more work done.

    Paw the tatt artist is the man!!! Ck him out

    I went in to get my tragus pierced a few days ago by Noni, she was very light spirited & made me feel at home.

    I asked for the reference photo from my artist Iddy, and I still havent gotten it. I am over it…read more Let me share something else. Overall, every time I see my forearm I get annoyed about how bad the service ended up being, the end result of the tattoo, and just over all bummed af. Lets make things clear, I reiterated exactly what I wanted a couple times before finally booking her 100% and show up in person. To start off she was late about 45 minutes. My morning time is very important cause I sleep at 430am every night and waking up at 10am is low key a mission. I meet her, she is kind, just chatting away with friends, fine, no problem, it is what it is. BAM, finally she shows me the image of the character I want, but the problem was that the character moment, image, was something completely different from my original reference. It felt like she was just joking, but no, it was serious. So I proceed stating that, I want exactly what I showed her, MANY times. She tries telling me something like, she can't do exactly that image cause thats not sometime she made. That this is HER art as well that she wants to be proud of, etc. etc. She could have EASILY dm'd me that from the beginning ( I would have not even wasted time moving forward) Cause I know what I want and I been wanting this for A LONG WHILE. She seems to suck it up and finds a image that is KINDA like the one I want. At this point I already gave a deposit. I already set aside the time of day to do this, I already woke up and showed up. Her reference photo had the "right moment" I wanted. Zenitzu doing thunder breathing first form. but the shading of the image she found was low key trash. WHY did I think she was going to just use it as a reference and do the nice SIMPLE, lighter shading like my reference photo? THAN she places the stencil on my arm, continues to ask her coworker friends what they think, and they all say "its great!" and she says , "great I will be back" and left to go get a drink. Was this another joke? why didn't she ask me, the client, what I thought of the placement? OR better, before placing it, ask me what my thoughts were? She comes back, I stick up for myself, and I share my thoughts, and bam almost 3 hours and one adjustment later she finally begun with the first touch of ink on my skin. Almost 2pm at this point. On top of the many social interruptions throughout the session, it's now 9pm and she has another client coming in now. She tells me it'll need a second session - I am low key exhausted - hungry, so I respond SURE. Long Story Short, she tries to charge me the full quoted price again. Essentially doubling what she originally quoted, not to mention my time, drive, nor the pain of it all again. Man, I can go on and on about all this. BUT it is done. Now I have this character with horrible shading that irritates me. The worst thing is, I think she did ok in her emulating the shading, she just used a shitty reference and this could have ALL BEEN a decent experience if she just actually prepped, and did what I have asked for from DAY ONE. Yes, I honestly feel like this outcome is her fault. Yes I could have said , NO, No, No again and again. I just cant believe I had to be in that position to stick up for myself at all. I even offered her Starbucks on day one, food on her break, and tipped her like $60, which isn't a lot I guess but DAMN. Just annoyed af. Also I stopped myself from writing this review more than once, I just continue getting upset about the whole thing to many times, not to. Who ever wants to see the outcome, feel free to dm me.

    my friend and i stumbled across skin design when we stopped by the food market to get coffee and…read moreimpulsively decided to get some tats. the manager was really welcoming and friendly, our artist ramon did both of our tattoos as soon as he came in. the whole crew was extremely informative and helpful which i appreciate so much! the open concept of the space can be a bit intimidating at first but the environment was so comforting! definitely coming back here for more ink. thanks guys :)
