The shop is clean, organized and beautifully decorated. Please stop in!

I take the opportunity to walk around. Stopped in at the Los Poblanos Norte bar/mercantile, go in to Shrine/ Ex Voto and I bought a very nice gold diamond stud I figure will be a great piece for my new piercing. Go back to ikigai, it's now an hour later, no one is back. Bottom line, waited two hours and I see people entering the shop, I go to enter, and they inform me that they are closing early. So disappointed. They might as well close for good if that is the level of professionalism they can muster up. I will never go back there or recommend to anyone.

Loved my experience and would 100% come back again…read more I came in without and appointment on June 19, 2022 to get a Route 66 tattoo. I was traveling with 40 women on motorcycles for the "Chix on 66" event which began on June 12th in Chicago, Illinois and went all the way to Santa Monica, California. I wanted to get a tattoo somewhere along the way. Santa Fe was sandwiched between two of the shortest days on the trip so I thought this would be the perfect place to get my tattoo. And it was! I had actually spoken with another studio in the area weeks earlier but those plans never panned out as their communication was severely lacking. If you can't bother to get back to me in the weeks leading up to the appointment, I'm not exactly comfortable with the idea of you poking me with a needle and permanently marking my body. Then when I got there they weren't even in the studio at the time we'd agreed upon. Bye. So I left that place and found The Dungeon. Like I said I walked in without an appointment and upon arriving I spoke with the owner who said Joaquin could take care of me when he finished with the customer he was with. I agreed, walked back to my hotel room at the El Rey Court, and came back about an hour later. I found Joaquin to be approachable. He asked me questions about what I wanted (I knew I wanted the road sign for sure and something motorcycle related - maybe handlebars? but I wasn't sure, so I was open to suggestions), what my expectations were (I understand the care involved and that tattoos don't look like photographs), what kind of motorcycle I ride, and then he went to work designing my custom tattoo. He came up with a silhouette of a touring bike that was similar to mine but with some differences. I said that's close but mine has a windshield not a faring and-- then I pulled my phone out and showed him a pic of my motorcycle. He said "send that to me" so I did and he put it into his design program on his tablet and worked up what you see in the pics. It's done in shades of purple watercolor and I am absolutely in love with it. I get compliments on it ALL THE TIME. The coolest thing about it is that it's MY bike!! Even my husband who isn't a fan of tattoos thinks it's cool!! Haha! Joaquin gave me excellent advice on how to care for it especially since I still had 6 days to go on the road before I reached the end of Route 66 at the Santa Monica Pier in California. This was not my first tattoo, it was actually my 4th but I got the first three more than 20 years ago and ideas and standards of care have changed since then. And I knew that riding a motorcycle through the Mojave Desert in the end of June with a fresh tattoo could be tricky. But he made sure I knew what to do and what not to do. I followed his advice and it healed beautifully and without incident. Of all the souvenirs I came home with from that trip, this tattoo is my absolute favorite. I will be forever grateful, Joaquin. Thank you so much.

The employee who helped us was very attentive and my mom was the 2nd customer waiting. The piercing is free; however, you must purchase a pair of earrings (cheapest pair was 40.00). The employee (didn't get her name) was very patient with my elderly mom (80) and very nice as well. Overall, the entire process probably took 20 min or so and my mom was very pleased with the process.
