Had a good experience getting tattooed here. Dora has a lot of experience, a good eye, great taste, and is very bubbly. I wanted the outline of my dog's face in flowers (sunflowers specifically) and Dora suggested keeping the ears as realistic so I asked for one floppy ear and one pointed ear. I love, love, love the result. My dog means the world to me so despite this being my 8th tattoo, it was the one I was the most nervous about. Dora's creativity and skill will give you an amazing result to trust her and work with her. I attached some screenshots from Dora's instagram where she posted a reel on the start to finish of my tattoo. I absolutely love it and despite having yellow-toned skin (a lot of South Asians do) so made the sunflowers pop perfectly while capturing my sweet boy's orange-red fur. When you go, make sure you're not in a tight schedule as my appointment started almost an hour later than expected, but I took the day off so I was fine. They are COVID conscious so be sure to mask, but they'll encourage you to drink water and snack as needed. Parking lot is small, but I had no issues getting parking. They do a lot of good work so I'd definitely check them out! read more

Me and my husband went today to Do. Art Ink Studio. We arrived for an appointment with Jun for two tattoos. The studio is bright and well lit with many plants. Gives a nice positive vibe and is very welcoming. After we filled out the necessary paperwork, Jun talked to us, showed us the design sizes. He was very professional. The single needle tattoo went smoothly, me and my husband were completely comfortable the entire time. And because Jun was familiar with the subject of the tattoo, it did feel he took extra attention to the details to make sure it was right. Super satisfied with the piece and already thinking about the next one to get. I Definitely recommend this spot. read more

This is a long overdue review from pre-pandemic (dec 2019). I found this studio off Instagram and fell in love with Dora's work. I wanted fine line flowers as my next tattoo and she did an amazing job. Communication was really easy with her.. the spot was very clean. The only thing I didn't enjoy as much was as I was getting tattooed, there were 2 other people in the shop that I was assuming were Dora's friends. They just ate and talked while I was getting tattooed, and not much conversation between my artist and I. However, my tattoo also healed very quick with no issues and it came out beautifully. I'm still planning to come back again for another trip this year for another tattoo! read more

Really nice, relaxing vibe inside the studio. It was a 3 month wait to see Dora, but it was obviously worth it as her work is stunning! Dora accommodated my last minute request to go from partial color to full color, and I think it turned out beautifully. During the healing process, I kept it out of sunlight, avoided activities with sweating, used a hydrating balm, and wore lots of sunscreen. It has only been 1 year, but it looks virtually the same as when I got it. Very polite and professional staff. I plan to go back to finish the half sleeve. read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this studio. I've passed by it nearly every day since moving to Monterey Park and I've followed many of the artists on Instagram for a while -- all of the artists are women which is definitely a big plus when I'm looking for a new studio. I finally booked once I settled on an idea that I thought would be perfect with Zing's style. I'm so happy I booked with her! My tattoo was fairly simple but Zing was really kind as we went back and forth on the design a bit and was totally open to my feedback. The studio itself is bright and clean. The only thing I'll warn you about is it's right next to a dog groomers so you will hear barking constantly but if that's a concern I recommend bringing along some noise canceling headphones and letting your artist know. I did get used to it after about 20 minutes. The tattoo itself took maybe 30-40 minutes (I just got some small lettering on my thigh). It was not too painful at all and I almost fell asleep toward the end haha she really does have a gentle touch and I really recommend booking with her! She is very talented and great to work with. I will definitely be coming back here in the future. read more

I wanted to honor my grandma after her passing by getting a tattoo of a Chinese character from her name. I specifically chose a tattoo artist who was Chinese to understand the significant meaning of the tattoo and female because the tattoo was high up on my thigh (for my own comfort). I was happy to see that Do. Art is female owned and has a primarily mandarin speaking staff! The shop was beautifully decorated and made me feel comfortable, as this was my first tattoo. I spoke to the owner about what I wanted and she recommended Zing. Her work on IG looked amazing so it was an easy decision to pick her. The process leading up to my appointment was smooth. Zing was very detail-oriented and took her time with my tattoo. The tattoo took about 45 minutes. I'm so happy with how my tattoo turned out and I've been getting a lot of compliments after posting it on social media. Thanks Zing!! :) read more

The Experience: The shop was fantastic, clean, and everyone from the receptionist to the artist were very nice and welcoming. They were timely and the check in process was easy and painless. I wish the artist would have been a little more personable or talkative but I understand that some artists would rather focus on the work and not talk which is fine, I didn't let that affect my review or experience. The tattoo: Got 2 tattoos in one visit from Kimi. One of them (my left arm, first picture) was a pretty standard number '11' and turned out perfect. The shading of the inside was nice and dark and heavy. Exactly what I was hoping for. The other one (right arm, second picture) I gave her a rough idea of what I wanted (a stencil of the 11 and a gradual natural shading going into my skin) and was hoping she would stylize the shading around it to make it look natural. After finishing she had me look at it and I asked if she could make the shading around it more gradual and blend it more. Well, after another 10mins of work she had me look at it again and honestly it didn't look much different so I figured we should stop there and I could maybe have another artist finish it since it seemed like shading maybe wasn't her strength. So I went home and a few days later my girlfriend had observed that the numbers in the 2nd tattoo were UPSIDE DOWN. Fortunately it isn't a big deal and I don't mind it being upside down but.....this could've easily been a really really bad experience. Overall the shop itself was great and the 2-stars is really for the work that was done and the mistake. I'd go back, but I'd ask for another artist other than Kimi if I want something more than just basic lettering. read more

They are extremely unprofessional and money hungry at this establishment. Beware. I've gotten 1 piece from them and it was a good experience so I figured I would come back for another piece. I inquired on a small arm piece, maybe 3 inches max and was quoted an extensive amount of money. I gracefully said, "no thank you, that's a bit too expensive for my taste, thank you for the info and for your time." Instead of responding politely, I received a nasty and judgmental response back. I will definitely never give my business to such an arrogant establishment. So many better options out there for quality work and kind artists with better prices and attitudes. This is just an FYI for the public. Don't come at me. Thanks. read more

Hello all, to who's reading this, I hope you're doing well! Ok, let's begin! This is my second set of tats from this establishment. My review is based on those two visits and my experience with just the one artist. The rest of the staffs are as friendly and welcoming. It can get pretty busy here. An appointment is suggested. The place really doesn't have a lot of parking for the area, where there are other businesses within the plaza. My first visit was a walk-in and they took me. My artist, Zing was so pleasant and patient working with me. She's super friendly and kind! Very professional and helped me designed my tattoos. It took about two hours in all, from start of drawing and design to tat finish. On my second visit, I had made an appointment. Again, from start to finish about two hours, super nice and easy. My appointment was with the same artist, Zing. Zing helped me redesign a piece that I have on photo. She worked on it, converting it onto paper and made it backwards for me. It came out more beautiful and awesome then I had imagined. Thank you very much Zing. read more

I was getting a tat that included a Chinese character so it was really important to me that the artist be Chinese. I was super excited to find this Chinese woman owned tattoo shop with mostly Chinese women artists. I had been following the shop and Kimi on Instagram for a while and finally decided to make an appointment. I emailed the shop and got a response back very quickly. I booked about a month in advance, deposit via Zelle, payment in full at the appointment via cash. It's a cute shop with plants and a sitting area. Small parking lot, but no problem finding parking on a weekday afternoon. Super efficient - we finalized the design, placement, and size while I was there. For a small tattoo (about 2 in x 2 in), my whole appointment lasted about two hours. It came out great, healed perfectly. read more

It's been more than 10 years now and I have not heard from her or gotten my deposit back. When I reached out to her, she tried to gaslight me saying that I missed my appointment. I was never informed of an appointment.

Yeah, this place gets negative stars if I could.

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece. Maybe this tattoo thing is an addiction and will keep you coming back for more.

WOW! Roger is amazing! He spent two sessions with me. One 5 hour and the other 3 hours. It was such…read morea good experience his attention to detail was beyond words! Even though it was painful towards the end he took breaks with me and gave me numbing cream. I have had 14 tattoos and this one was painful at the end by far just cause of all the different coloring! I'm happy with the result and can't stop looking at it. Thank you so much!! I will def be back for more!!!

Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her. Everything went so smoothly and it was mostly painless - only a pinch in the process but no discomfort after the jewelry was already in. My friends and I left with super cute nostril piercings! Highly recommend this studio. Very grateful and happy with the experience here.

I was going to leave my review as is but i will not be called a liar about my experience then…read morepressured to delete my review entirely. "Regarding your wait time, management confirmed it was significantly shorter than stated" - attached are photos at 6:20pm on 4/11/26 aka the time i went in & upon arrival i asked to use the restroom, i took a selfie amongst other pics & the date & time can be found on each one. When leaving, i was asked for my information & to enroll in ur $5 off coupon which was at 8:16pm on 4/11/26. almost exactly two hours, not sure which manager looked into that but i did not randomly chose that number. Consultation - Tabitha asked via phone if i was given the option or made aware of threadless vs threaded jewelry, i was not nor was I given the option between the two. (Im assuming since you guys only carry threadless anyways.) Lacy said the piercings could get expensive when downsizing multiple sizes & when custom jewelry becomes a thing (she gave me an example of hers that have a wide flat back) which i understood. I was never told the jewelry on hand would be so flimsy or else i would have left with a spare set. or why wouldnt that be offered if its a known thing that theyre just going to break soon after? "our management team has reached out multiple times" - Tabitha called me on 4/20/26 at 2:03pm post yelp review & asking me to elaborate which i did. she apologized & said she would investigate & immediately followed up asking if i could "take down the yelp review" I initially agreed but im so glad i didnt. All that was asked of me was to pick a date & time & she will have someone replace the jewelry that broke at the el monte location but she would have to call me back & let me know if there was someone at that location who COULD do it & that she would call back. when she called back at 2:38pm 4/20/26 she stated ordering a threaded set would take 6-8 weeks & that she will order my downsize. we agreed on that solution & hungup. Then 4/28/26 Tabitha texts me & there was no solution so we could agree on so thanked her & left it at that (screenshots attached as well) "waived fees" - crazy cause you guys swear this is something special. when i get my nails done & one breaks theyre quick to fix it FOR FREE & not keep reminding me that breakage could happen nor badgering me that IM at fault for it/knew the risks. Theres no fee to waive if i want to put the jewelry in my own face for free which you guys denied me of because u didnt want to mail them to me. "we offered appointments at our other locations with free parking lots" - text attached of Tabithas convo but she definitely stated STREET parking, exactly how the LA location is so.. not sure where the "Convenience & Options" were. sorry it came to this Leo, maybe ask both sides next time instead of just listening to one.

She is really a miracle worker! I left with my nails feeling stronger than ever and I felt so pampered by her homemade scrubs, lotions, and serums. She is the kind of nail artist that puts the quality and health of your nails over everything. I can tell how meticulous and thoughtful she is as she works on my nails. After just a couple of weeks, my nails are already feeling stronger thanks to her service and nail oil. Her studio is small and cozy with a peaceful vibe; her playlist was so soothing I almost fell asleep! Christa is also just a sweetheart of a person -- really friendly and easy to talk to. I can't wait to return and keep growing my natural nails out. Thank you so much, Christa!

And she has an amazing selection of colors and product--Christa is a next level tech. Some of the products Christa used I have never even seen at other places. I could tell she cared about the quality of product she puts on her client's hands. I had reviewed her prices beforehand, and she told me her mantra was "nail art for all." I ended up going with black gel and a little negative space, and it looked amazing. I had random people on the street ask me today where I got my nails done. I am so happy with my nails! Thank you Christa!

I chose this salon expecting a professional experience. When a business advertises licensed…read moreprofessionals and charges premium prices, I expect professional-quality work. Unfortunately, this appointment fell well below that standard. I was originally quoted $80 for a Gel-X set, but once I arrived I was told there would be an additional $10 charge just to remove my existing Gel-X. From there, nearly every option came with another surcharge. Glitter was an additional charge, and placing the glitter at the base of the nail instead of the tip increased the price even further. The pricing structure felt confusing and constantly changing, making it difficult to know what the final cost would be. After hearing the additional charges, I decided against getting a new set and paid $45 for a manicure after the Gel-X removal. For $45, I expected my natural nails to leave looking polished and professionally finished. Instead, I left with: * Jagged, uneven nail edges that were not properly filed * Visible product residue still left on multiple nails * Uneven nail surfaces * Dry, unfinished cuticles * Nails that looked incomplete rather than professionally manicured I took photos immediately after leaving because I couldn't believe this was the finished result. The service itself was also disappointing. My technician, Annie, repeatedly stopped working on my nails to answer phone calls and attend to other matters. The appointment felt interrupted and rushed instead of relaxing. A manicure should feel calm and focused. This did not. The salon also raised concerns for me. The supply/storage area visible to customers was cluttered and disorganized, and I observed nail files being reused, which made me question the sanitation standards. Even checkout was frustrating. I wanted to leave a tip for the technician who performed my pedicure because she did a nice job, but the payment process made it difficult to direct the gratuity to the correct person. The biggest disappointment is that none of these issues should exist regardless of the price. Whether a manicure costs $25 or $45, customers should leave with nails that are smoothly filed, free of leftover product, and professionally finished. Those are basic expectations--not luxury extras. I left feeling disappointed, overcharged, and with nails that I could have filed more carefully at home myself. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this salon.
