really smooth and quick ! great spot and really friendly place nice aroma. Got my conch for 90 jewlary included 4 day Update: Ok it's been a couple days about 4 since my piercing and it hurts SO bad. I had to take pain killers, i'm having trouble sleeping, and it's really red and painful to touch. I don't know if it's the length of the bar or what but something is seriously wrong with it. I later realized i received no aftercare instructions or spray aside from the "wait 6 months to change" 6th day: Had to end up getting the piercing removed at another shop. The bar was too short and the screw part being on the outside causes damage to the soft tissue in my ear. Couldn't even get it replaced i'm really disappointed and upset
The guys were quick and friendly every step of the process, thorough in answering questions, and my tattoo is exactly what I wanted! I would have thought their prices would be insane for the location but they're completely reasonable for the service. Loved the space too! Clean and stylish. The tattoo itself turned out great! I'm so happy with it and will be back.
I've been afraid of needles my entire life, so getting a tattoo was something I never thought I'd actually do. But after attending a transformative retreat, I finally had the courage to get one -- and not just one, but two! From the moment I walked into Cleopatra Ink, I knew it was meant to be. By total coincidence, I ran into a friend who had the same idea -- we both showed up at the exact same time without knowing the other was coming. Later that same day, another friend of ours came back to get a tattoo too. It honestly felt like the universe was giving me a little wink. The staff was so warm and welcoming. They made us Turkish coffee, shared stories about their culture, and created such a comfortable, friendly atmosphere that it felt like we were hanging out with old friends. The whole process was quick, painless (less than 20 minutes!), and surprisingly peaceful. I left with two meaningful tattoos that I absolutely love -- and now I'm already thinking about what I want next. If you've ever been scared or hesitant, this is your sign. Cleopatra Ink made my very first tattoo experience unforgettable.
Came in to get help reinserting jewelry in my double helix piercings and to get professional advice on jewelry that's easy to remove for medical reasons. Have done it with other piercers before with my conch and it went smoothly. I guess my lucked ran out. The piercer was dismissive and rushed me, but TBH I was willing to overlook the attitude as long as the work was done right. We went with a clasped hoop since it's easier for me to take out. The top piercing went in fine. For the bottom, he said it had closed and needed to be repierced -- okay, fair enough. at this point I just assumed he was gonna go the same way and just open it up again. But when I got home, I realized he had completely changed the placement, and I found out that for fresh piercings, you shouldn't be putting a hoop and make it so snug cause you need room for swelling, I'm a bit frustrated that a professional piercer didn't warn me or think of that when he chose to pierce me. Just no communications at all. Should've at least changed the jewelry right? From past experience with piercers, they walked me through the placement before piercing but he just went and did it. Honeslty was really traumatizing. I'm going to another piercer to get these taken out cause they're swelling and aching, and my ears are bending bc of how snug the earrings are. I came in trusting a professional to guide me, especially given my medical needs around jewelry removal. The lack of communication about changing the placement and not following aftercare best practices for a fresh piercing is what really gets me. Not a great experience. Very traumatizing.
Place is awesome everybody was very friendly very professional and they did a fantastic job. Kan did mine and my wife's tatt's perfectly. We are coming back
Ozzy pierced my belly twice and did a great job both times! I am so glad he was the one to pierce me, he is super professional and friendly. The first time I pierced it, it was painless and went very well. I needed it repierced a month later because it fell out, but Ozzy repierced it for me. I am super happy and LOVE my belly piercing :)
I got my navel pierced by Oguz on 12/20/26, but I just had to take it out because it was done so poorly. It was way too shallow, basically on the surface of my stomach rather than in my belly button causing it to constantly get caught on everything. Another piercer confirmed that no matter what jewelry I used, it would never heal correctly. The service was also a huge red flag. Oguz barely spoke to me. He just told me to keep my hands at my sides and didn't explain a thing. When he finished, he didn't even say anything, he just held up his hands to show he was done.
Although I wasn't completely sure about the design at first, the staff member explained everything clearly. Bek did an incredible job, and I've already received many compliments. Thanks to the whole team. I'll definitely recommend this place and will be back.
In the city this afternoon and decided to get some ink with my boyfriend Kevin! He did a little tribute tattoo for his dad and I did a script tattoo. Their minimum is 150 so my 2 line script was awesome and only 150 excluding tip for your artist of course!!! (Always tip your artists!) The vibe is prime! The music is upbeat to get some edge off their clients especially if it's their first which in this case it was Kevin's first. It helped that the music is very upbeat and lively. The Owner and the Tattoo Artists are also very cool and friendly and listens to you. The design edits were very straight forward. The tattoo artist that did my script was Memo and Kevin's was done by Essie and they were both awesome! The owner was such a vibe, I didn't get his name but shout out to him and his awesome personality, it made us comfortable especially it was Kevin's first time.
Amazing experience. I came for my first piece, and they made me feel comfortable the entire time. I think my tattoo looks amazing! It was powerful, well placed, and and even better executed l executed. Remzi did an incredible job, and I'll definitely come back for my next piece.
Emre helped me design this beautiful tattoo on my left shoulder blade from a song I absolutely love. Bek did my tattoo and he was super fast and completed everything within 2 hrs. He gave me two breaks of 10 mins and went back to work to complete this beautiful piece
Visiting SF for a week and wanted a tattoo really badly. Stumbled upon this shop by Fisherman's Wharf and asked if they took walk-ins. They do!!! Very clean place, very friendly staff, very cute tattoo! Tattoo came out great!

I visited Cleopatra Ink San Francisco and had an amazing experience. Ozzy helped me from start to finish--he was super professional and made me feel comfortable right away. I filled out the consent form, and then got five piercings done: two double helix, one conch, and two earlobe piercings. Everything was very clean, sterile, and done quickly but carefully. Ozzy also explained the aftercare in detail, and I followed everything he recommended (I even took a photo of the aftercare instructions). My piercings healed perfectly without any issues. I'm really happy with the results. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of service. Big thanks to Ozzy--highly recommend! read more

Amazing from start to finish! As my second tattoo, I've experienced various shops, artists and customer service. And Cleopatra Ink was a shot in the dark - seeing if they could reimagine my design.. As an artist myself, I also didn't want to be that annoying know it all prick and to let the artist do their thing to come out as a piece that was me and dedicated to the personal struggles I have gone through. And they did exactly that! (Tho if you're looking for a shop to hear your sob story for a long time this isn't the place for you.) I was a bit ambitious to suggest color and for the placement on my rib cage and def underestimated how long I would be sitting for or the pain... & ended up being around 6 1/2 hours. I ended up paying $$$ but it was worth it to have it reimagined and for the quality and care and service they gave to me. But why was also the best part getting told that I sat well and made the tattooist personally comfortable. Truly loved how it turned out in the end!! (Currently in the healing phase which is going well with no chopped up skin lines!) And highly recommend!! Artist: -Anastassiya Ozdemir @parrtridgee read more
My husband finally got his first tattoo. He said that Cleopatra Ink was calling him in!! The shop was spacious and clean. Emre greeted us when we came in and we sat down with Him to look for the tattoo that my husband envisioned for his upper arm. Emre was super nice and patient with us! They were busy, so we came back a few hours later and Mehmet Aktas, did a fantastic job on my husband's tattoo! And it wasn't too painful! Lol!! We are back in Dallas and my husband loves his tattoo. It looks great and healed beautifully!! Prices are great too! Thank you Emre and Mehmet! Everyone here is super friendly!! read more
