    As you can see, some of the ink is gone.
    Christina Z.

    This place is clean and very sanitized; however, the tattoo I got from this place isn't the best. I came in to get a fine line word tattoo that says, "no rain, no flowers." It looked nice as soon as the tattoo artist finished, but now that it scabbed over, parts of the ink are completely faded or you can say, "gone." The tattoo artist specifically told me that he didn't want to do another layer of ink to prevent scaring. He also said he "HOPES" the ink stays and doesn't disappear. If the tattoo artist isn't experienced in fine line tattoos, he should have told me before I handed over my $100 + $20 tip.

    138 tattooed on my arm and my boo's ankle. We are 138.

    Pete was friendly and accommodating. Me and boyfriend walked in for small three numeric tattoo (138) as tribute to the original misfits since the show was that night. Pete helped us with placement, sizing, and was so enthusiastic about our small tattoo that it made it even more exciting for us! Pete also did a great job making the stencil with the font we picked. He had us fill out the proper paperwork, made copies of our ID's, showed us the new needle in the package and informed us of proper care. We both have lots of tattoos but he still made sure to be thorough. Thanks again Pete!

He was able to tattoo the mandala perfectly on my left shoulder. Couldnt be more satisfied, not kidding. Will be coming back for more, prestine work my friend. Keep it up!

    So my sister and I were walking down the boardwalk and we came across this tattoo shop. There was a note with a number posted on it for appointments so we called and got a response right away. Within minutes they were confirming an artist and a same day appointment. About the artist that was sent, Sall, he was very efficient and professional. We went in with an idea and he turned it into art. He is super talented. I want to get more work done and I will definitely be coming back to sal!

    I look very young I'm a 23 year old female and not like i care personally but they didn't ask for my ID, they didn't ask me to fill out ANY paperwork before they did my tattoo. I don't want work done by people are going to be so unprofessional like that. They didn't even ask my name. I don't recall who did the actual tattoo but when it came time to do it, he rushed and it was very painful (I have other tattoos I know what it feels like) and the final product is one of the worst tattoos i've ever seen. All I got was 3 very small letters on the side of my hand. Nothing complex or complicated whatsoever. When it was done, I got no aftercare instructions. I paid $80 for a tiny tattoo that was supposed to mean a lot to me, that I now need to get fixed. Do yourself a favor and don't go here if you want professionalism and great quality work.

    Anthony has accommodated me both times I came to Los Angeles on a whim from the East Coast. His free hand is sick and his work is amazing!!! He did a koi fish and lotus tatoo for 3 hours on my shoulder 8 months ago and a word with clean lines just yesterday. Brought my girl with me and he did two cute pieces for her as well. This dude is talented, reasonably priced and super friendly.

    Just got my arm done by jane. she did an awesome job on creating a concept i through at her. best tattoo expereience ever. nice little shop with very talented artists.

    Shane was incredibly responsive via both email and text from the beginning and went through multiple drafts of sketches to ensure it was exactly what I wanted. After 8 hours of painstaking (but painless to me!) detail work, the end result is nothing short of stunning! He is a true artist. I would recommend Shane unreservedly. The price was extremely fair, he is careful and clean, of course, and his commitment to his craft is obvious. My piece feels more like a work of art than a tattoo and I couldn't be happier.

    Pete is the man! He's super cool and made my wife and I's experience so cool for being just a walk in. He was really down to earth and made us feel so welcome. Thanks Pete !

    I give Shane 12 stars! He did an amazing awesome incredible tattoo for me. He is so talented and a great artist. I got a tiny little mermaid with all the details from a large tattoo. I highly recommend this artist!

    New favorite place to get some ink. The artist Shane is truly talented. Check out some of the pictures.

    Pete at devocean crushes my tattoos every time. I've gotten 5 done with him and they have all exceeded expectations.

She is incredibly talented, attentive, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. She really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and never rushed me, which I appreciated so much. It felt like she genuinely cared about getting every detail just right. We even decided to go much bigger than I had originally planned, and I'm honestly so glad we did because I am absolutely in love with how it turned out. The whole process was way easier than I expected, fairly painless, and I didn't feel a thing afterward. I've gotten so many compliments on the detail and precision of the work. If you're looking for someone who listens, delivers, and elevates your vision, Olee is it.

He took his time to start. And he was correct it didn't hurt. The tattoo came out beautifully and the way I wanted it. Thank you Max.

    I tried to go to this place several years ago and reviewed them on Google…read more I'm also placing my review here because I saw that the owner responded to me and said that he was there the day that I came. The problem is, I wrote my review several months after my visit and the woman who answered the door told me that she was the only one in the shop. This place has bad business practices, poor customer service, and the owner gives untruthful excuses. My original review: I meant to write this review sooner because I was very disappointed. I went here because I lost my nose ring. I did not realize you needed an appointment beforehand just to purchase jewelry. When the woman came to the door I was informed of the requirement and told she couldn't help me because she was with another customer. At no time did she offer to make an appointment for me or say that I could call to make an appointment later. I don't know if I'm being too sensitive, but I actually feel like it was racial that I wasn't offered any options. I absolutely will not ever in my life come to this establishment for anything. I felt it was very unprofessional and rude or she doesn't know customer service and the skill of attaining new customers.

    Aesthetic Ambition is the best!! All around an incredible shop! Every piercer and staff member is…read moreknowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional. Cleanliness is a top priority and is taken very seriously (as it should be, but wow they are great). The whole shop is clean, so cute, and welcoming. So many details have been so well thought out. The aftercare instructions delivered on a custom made card, the beautiful selection of high quality jewelry, there aren't enough good things I can say about this place. Alejandra and Niche (maybe Eli too? Not sure, I had very specific needs and did a lot of calling) helped make sure I got the appointment properly scheduled and helped communicate an extreme needle phobia to the piercers Amber and (shop owner) Tidus who did a tandem piercing to get it over with quickly. I highly recommend this spot in general and for kids or adults with needle sensitivity/phobia. Huge thank you to my favorite piercing shop in LA/Santa Monica!!
