    Bathroom decor, love the Edward Cullen

    Always a pleasure, always a treat. Today was my third time at Esperanza Ink and I love the cozy vibes in this place and the artists to death Sydney/Ink by Squid is the BEST! I got a Sleep Token inspired tattoo by her today, and it was the best experience. She takes pride in her work, is incredibly detailed oriented, and creates amazing art. Highly recommended her, I'm very happy with my piece. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

    Let me start by saying the vibe is definitely right. All of the tattoo artists were super friendly and helpful. It's a great atmosphere inside and the artist named "Darren" that works for this tattoo shop did an outstanding job on my Nana's Tattoo! Go check him out @ Artbyleatherface & this tattoo shop out! 10/10 would recommend.

    If you want to get a tattoo come here great atmosphere ! And every artist here has their own unique style , their work is all amazing from what I've seen ! I personally go to Goldie she's working on my sleeve doing a Disney theme w the characters tattooed! But she has done such an amazing job every piece I've gotten so far looks amazing!!!! While you're getting your tattoo done whether it's a quick session or long session you will be super comfortable I watch Netflix every time I come in and before I know it she's already done! They have water and little snacks too. and I shopped around for a while to find the perfect person to do my sleeve and this was the place that popped up and I'm 100% satisfied! The owner gets back to you right away if you have any questions!!! I highly recommend GOLDIE !!!! Here's 2 pictures so far there not done yet but here's a glimpse! Oh yeah I forgot they also do piercings & have a little area in the front that has some cute items you can purchase you will have to come check it out to find out! You will not be disappointed! And last but not least the shop is very clean and decorated super cute!

    What I wanted

    I have been following this page for a while and after seeing a special run by one of their artists for lettering I decided to take a leap and get my first tattoo! I couldn't have been happier with my experience. Booking was simple and easy, there was great communication in regards to the appointment and what the process would be like, upon arriving everyone was super friendly and the check in process was fast and easy. I was able to have numbing cream applied which hasn't been available at other shops I reached out too which was a major plus. I have a tendency to pass out both from anxiety and from pain but Ray was very kind, patient, and understanding with me for the entire process. Any other client probably could have been done faster but I wanted numbing cream and needed a short break half way through (I got dizzy accidentally honestly didn't even realize holding my breath ) but he didn't seem to be bothered at all and made sure I was okay and comfortable throughout the entire process which I appreciated because I wasn't made to feel like I was being a burden or dramatic! I already have a few more pieces in mind and will definitely be back to get more pieces done by Ray!

    Septum piercing by Elisea
    Brianna B.

    I've gone here before for a flash tattoo by Christy, and she was super sweet and did a great job. (Also, of all my leg tattoos, that one was directly on my shin bone and didn't hurt AT ALL. She has a very light touch.) Today my daughter and I came to get septum piercings by Elisea. Elisea was very nice and professional and our piercings came out great! I have a really high septum and have had it pierced incorrectly in the past, but Elisea found the right spot, and did it quickly and almost painlessly.

    Titanium ear piercings

    Nerdy was wonderful! I got double pierced on each ear, and the piercings pictured (titanium stars) is just a couple of days old! I don't feel any pain thanks to her care tips, and I'm extremely grateful for the clean environment at this location.

    Elena is amazing! I got my first tattoos today, she was so great at explaining everything! Made sure all my questions were answered and made sure i loved the design before placing. Her shop is sophisticated and so clean, i loved the decor and welcoming vibe! Her staff are also some of the nicest people I've met! I will definitely be coming back for any other pieces. My tattoos turned out amazing, the shading is so good! And i let her do her thing for the backgrounds and she nailed it. Great color choices and looks beautiful. I can't say enough good things about her and her shop!

    Mostly healed, semi fresh hip and thigh tattoo

    I cannot recommend Esperanza Ink enough. This shop is so welcoming. It is so important to feel safe and welcomed when getting a tattoo and this place goes above and beyond. The staff is incredibly warm and kind, on top of being incredible artists. I've gotten tattooed by multiple artists here and they never miss. I have to give an extra shout out to the owner, Elena Esperanza, who has now done most of the work on my body. I trust her whole heartedly and am always so happy with her work. Can't recommend this place enough!

    Very dope place.. Love the work done. I definitely will recommend coming here. I can't wait to get my next piece done. Thanks Jovan.

    Taylor N.

    I have so many good things to say about this shop. It is always clean and everyone that works here is super friendly and helpful. I have gotten work by Elena and Josh. I highly recommend them both! I also love the Tattoo Lovers aftercare that they have. These products work so much better than your usual gold dial and aquaphor.

    Julie H.

    Christy did an amazing job bringing my daughter's artwork to life! She has a light touch and does amazing line work. She is personable and professional and I will definitely be back for other tattoos. I love that this business is female owned. The vibe is edgy, chill and professional, they have a cute lil coffee station. The prices are reasonable and they take walk ins and have some really cute flash tattoos. Definitely visit this shop, you won't be disappointed.

    Brought my friend here (my absolute go-to piercing place ) since we both wanted new piercings…read more Today, I got my rook and tragus, and she got her rook and snug. One thing I always appreciate about here is how friendly, caring, and informative everyone is. Whether I have questions about anatomy or aftercare, they always explain everything clearly and never make me feel rushed or confused. And honestly, the piercing process is always way faster and smoother than I expect. I'll mentally prepare for it to hurt and then suddenly they're like "all done!" and I'm sitting there like "oh, that wasn't bad at all" haha. That's also why all my cartilage piercings (3 helix's, 2 tragus's, conch, daith, and rook) have been done here!

    1/30/26 - Called about information for a walk in to get my septum and a pair of lobe piercings…read moredone. They were very informative about hours and pricing. Most importantly they were able to do the piercings I wanted the same day unlike the other shops I called. When I arrived, the store was empty, very clean and quaint. Just the two workers opening the store for the day. I filled out the consent form and about 10 minutes later I was called to the back by Melissa who measured my existing piercings to mark them on my other ear. Very happy with her attention to detail. Everything seemed to be sanitized properly as well, at least to my untrained eyes. She went ahead with the lobe piercings after letting me see the spots she marked using a handheld mirror and they turned out great. I had the same experience with the septum as well. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience here at Mint Condition and Melissa's work, and will always consider this place first when I'm ready to get my next piercings!

    Best anime tattoo artist in SoCal!…read more I recently got a tattoo from Wilber (@supa_way_tatt) at Scratch and I cannot recommend the artist and studio enough!! I took a VERY long time to dig through countless portfolios of tattoo artists - there's obviously many talented artists, but so many anime artists heavily reduce the detail in the piece (remove the shadows/lines, simplify it) and often the faces are just the tiiiiiiniest bit off and I really can notice it. It was deeply important to me to find an artist whose portfolio I felt like nailed EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. and with incredible attention to detail, no matter the character, no matter the size. I wanted a tattoo of Levi from Attack on Titan's eyes - specifically where his 1 eye is bandaged and I was very insistent that ALL detail from the frame I chose would be included. every tiny line, every little shadow and detail. and Wilber NAILED it and got everything to absolute perfection. I was confident with my choice going into the tattoo but I was still floored by how perfect Levi's face turned out. I also was trying to avoid just getting a straight up anime frame and so wanted to put Levi within a bird silhouette (so it was a bit more subtle) and Wilbur was incredibly receptive to my notes and preferences and took literally everything I wanted into account and blended his face into the bird PERFECTLY. It looks seamless and even better than I envisioned. I couldn't be more pleased. The studio is super great vibes - perfectly clean (without feeling clinical or sterile), modern, spacious, easy parking, chill music playing, and overall just really nice vibes. I felt welcome and comfortable and when you're kind of nervous pre-tattoo, that's really important. If you're deciding between a few different artists/studios, trust me, go with Wilber @ Scratch!!!!!
