I recently had a session with Aya at Costello Tattoo for a custom Goddess Isis tricep wrap, and the…read moreexperience was 10/10. From the jump, the shop vibes were professional and clean, which is huge for me working in the medical field. Aya is a true specialist. I was looking for high-level fine line work and she absolutely delivered on the detail and shading. She really understood the vision I had for this piece as a symbol of my career transition and personal growth. The placement fits my physique perfectly and the healing process has been smooth thanks to her solid aftercare instructions. If you're looking for a top-tier artist in LA who handles custom work with precision, book with Aya! :)

Shout out to studio city tattoo for taking a painful, hard day and turning it into a memorable…read morespecial day for my wife. It's the first Mother's Day without her mom and with SAWOOLI and other staff at Studio City Tattoo help we were able to help make a sad day slightly better. The environment felt safe and comfortable enough allowing her to grieve while we waited for SAWOOLI to get the tattoos ready. Thanks again to everyone there this morning. Meant a lot to her. She walked in sad w her head down and walked out smiling and head held high. Made a huge difference

The customer service here is AWFUL! The lady dressed in black who sits behind the register and is…read moreon her phone while people need help has no basic knowledge about the jewelry policies at this shop. My partner and I came in to return a jewelry piece he surprised me with as a gift. I didn't even open the clear jewelry case since I immediately knew this septum ring was too large for me to wear. We clearly told the lady behind the register that we were there to exchange or return the piece. She tells us to wait for the piercer since others were waiting ahead of us. After waiting for over a half hour, I asked again, "do we really have to wait for the piercer to return this piece???" She said the piercer handles the jewelry. We were there for a total of at least 50 minutes! The piercer finally comes to us and tells us that jewelry cannot be returned after it leaves the shop. Why didn't the lady sitting behind the register give us this information as soon as we told her why we came in to the shop, instead of making us wait for almost an hour to just be extremely disappointed after speaking with the piercer? This place sucks, no respect and no consideration for patrons' valuable time. I have never been to a tattoo and piercing shop where the person at the register doesn't have basic knowledge on the shop's jewelry "policies" Back story: my partner goes in to this shop to surprise me with a septum ring. Another piercer helps him with picking out the jewelry. Bless my partner's heart but he knows nothing about piercings. He shows the piercer a photo of what I usually wear and somehow they pick out a piece that's triple the size of what I wear. The piercer never told my partner that jewelry is final sale. This place is an absolute disappointment and not helpful at all! Buy your jewelry somewhere else and go to a shop where everyone in the establishment values you as a customer!

I got my first and only tattoo from 11:11 AD on Ventura Blvd. I had visions of this tattoo for over…read morea year. Luis gave me exactly what i envisioned. A Perfect Equilateral Triangle. I was raised by my mother who has me and my brother, so i always saw us as the three points in a triangle. We group text every single day. We always make sure each other is safe before we go to bed. The Love is Deep. I was a walk in and the customer service was excellent. There was some really good looking guy who may work there too with a shaved head and lots of tattoos. Nice to have something to distract you from the pain. The studio itself is super artsy and dope. It was also very clean. I truly had a great experience getting my tattoo.

Kirk Alley has been tattooing me since 2011, and I don't want anyone else to tattoo me for as long…read moreas we both shall live. Truly. I have two major pieces from him: a full sleeve on my left arm and a black-and-white piece that begins on my lower right ribs and wraps behind to the left side of my lower back. The latter required some reworking of old tattoos, and Kirk executed flawlessly. He has my complete trust when it comes to tattooing. I don't think twice about him drawing on me. To state the obvious: Kirk is an incredible artist -- originally a painter recruited to become a tattooist -- who can execute on any style you wish with flying colors. That's rare in a world of specialists who are limited to one style. You will get a one-of-a-kind piece. Plus, Kirk's a pleasure to be around. It's nice to spend a couple of hours talking to him while he draws on me. I always look forward to visiting him, and I hope that can happen again soon.

She made me feel instantly at ease with her warm energy, professionalism, and kindness, which meant so much, especially in a tattoo setting where comfort really matters. She created such a positive atmosphere from the start and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. Agne was equally amazing throughout the entire process. She was so communicative, attentive, and reassuring every step of the way, which made me feel really taken care of. Her professionalism and ability to make everything feel calm, clear, and effortless truly stood out. You can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and takes pride in giving a great experience, not just great service. Together, Vicky and Agne made such a wonderful team. Their energy, attention to detail, and overall customer care were exceptional. The whole experience felt professional, personal, and comfortable in the best way. I'm so grateful for how well I was treated and would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone looking for amazing service and a great vibe.

I got one of my favorite tattoos here…read more However, when I called to get another tattoo quoted, they said they wouldn't tattoo me. I wanted simple scribe on my neck and apparently traditional tattoo artists only do visible tattoos if you have more... and I have five. Sure that's fine, but with that came a mini lecture about what I'm deciding to put on my body. Telling me to wait a week without asking how long this has been on my mind. It went into as far as telling to consider how I'm profiled in society because of a neck tattoo. I'm a Black Queer Man living in America. Although well intended, I don't need someone at the peek of the social totem pole telling me about being "profiled" in this country. Again, really don't have an issue with refusing to do the service. I know it was well intended. But I don't need a tone deaf conversation when I'm calling to get a quote on a tattoo.

What an incredible experience all around at Paradise City Tattoo! I saw the sign outside and…read morefigured, why not? I sent a message and within minutes heard back from Vinnie, the shop owner and artist. I sent references and boom, I had my appointment, as well as one for my wife, set within a few days. We walked in and for the moment we stepped foot in the door, felt comfortable, welcome, and knew we were in a shop that cared about the art, the process, the product and the customer. Vinnie was patient with my wife who had a very specific idea of what she wanted. He listened and adjusted and made sure it was exactly how she wanted it to be. The tattoo came out so clean - the lines were clean and clear- the design was intentional- easy breezy. It was then my turn and I had a similar experience. The work is beautiful- we call them stickers because it looks like it's been applied that way. I had one piece that I threw his way after getting 3 and he showed me multiple ways to get it done- he's a true artist - he stretched it, showed me, and there were so many different ways for one little thing. Vinnie was so friendly the entire way through. Honest, helpful, patient- couldn't have asked for more. Vinnie- thank you. We're looking forward to our next session with you. Riot says hi.

I pay for parking and walk over a few minutes later and they tell me a group just walked in and I'll have to wait 15 minutes, which was annoying bc I feel like they should have told them they have someone coming in already. Anyway, I wait in their waiting room for 35 minutes and no one comes out to update me. I only paid for 30 minutes of parking so I told them never mind and just left. What a waste of time.
