    This is hands down the place to go for all tattoos and piercings. We popped in from Arizona today and were blessed with the greatest tattoo/piercing experience. The owner was so attentive and friendly. We felt comfortable as soon as we walked in the door. My husband got a tattoo from Chris - genuine, welcoming, talented, took his time but he was also so quick. My piercer Laura was just as genuine and kind. She went out of her way to make sure I was happy and prepped me for what to expect. This was my first piercing experience and I will 100% never go anywhere else. Will be traveling to LA for all our tats and piercings. Thank you!

    Had difficult location for design, but Dave came through with as close as possible outcome. Really appreciate all the information, being my first tat. Super talented and real nice guy.

    Amazing service and really accommodating! I requested an appointment via yelp and the response rate was both quickly and timely. I work pretty late and they were able to fit me in at a time that coordinated with my time off. We sat down and came up with a design that would fit my sleeve and manny (I believe was his name) printed out multiple sizes to make sure I was completely satisfied with it being integrated in my sleeve. Prices are a bit higher expensive; however, the quality and ambience are amazing (you get what you pay for). I even enjoyed the small talk! I will be back soon

    Laura pierced my 11-year-old daughter's ears for the first time. Laura was very detail-oriented and professional. She took her time and the piercings look great. My daughter had very little pain as well. It was a great experience. The owner, Dave, was also very friendly and helpful. Quality spot with a chill vibe. Highly recommended!

    How much is the shop minimum?

    Minimum 100 200 per hour

    Whats the cover-up policy here? I have gotten a tattoo here a year and a half ago from here but would like to get something else on it.

    Do they do septum piercings?

    Yes. But during the pandemic no piercing shops are doing lip or nose piercings at the moment.

    What's your rule on tattooing minors?

    No reputable tattoo shop will serve anyone under 18.

    Who's the best person to talk to about a cover up?

    Are any of the artists experienced in covering scars?

    hello they are many to work it seems to me 14 artists do not hesitate to write to them they are really very professional

    What's your hourly rate for tattoos?

    $150 hourly $85 minimum

    Are there any Friday the 13th deals this year?

    Regarde il ont publié une annonce qui explique tout 😉

    Best parking for a late night appointment?

    Street parking in front or across the street is free after 8 I think! I parked there until 3am for my tattoo. Or a block behind the tattoo shop there's parking

    Is the tattoo minimum still 80 & 150 per hour? & Are we able to request Dave as our tattoo artist if its a japanese themed tattoo?

    I'm afraid I'm not sure about either of your questions, but suggest you call the shop directly - they're super nice and helpful!

    How much for regular ear piercings?

    How much for a quarter sized tattoo?

    Shop minimum is 80 I believe

    Do they do tattoo removal?

    I don't think so but I am sure some artists do cover ups.

    How much would a dime size outline of a heart cost?

    i believe the shop minimum is 80.

    I am currently 17 1/2 and turning 18 in about 3 months will you guys still tattoo me if I have parental consent?

    Hey there in the state of California you have to be 18 years old to get tattooed we cannot have parental consent it’s the A.B. 300 law you Have to be 18 years old Thank you. Please let us know if you have any other questions

    How much is a nose piercing, with and without the jewelry? Also, what's the smallest gauge for nose piercings/jewelry?

    What artist would you recommend for a small fine line tattoo?

    Mike

    Is it still $150 an hour for tattoos or $180 now? ty!

    Hi there thank you for contacting Generation8tattoo still $150 an hour

    Who would you guys suggest for a simple armband tattoo? I wanna get it done on my arm and I heard that it's a pretty hard tattoo to do.

    Just send them the picture they will tell you who can do it. They have different artists for different styles.

I wanted a tiger paired with specific florals (forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and narcissus paperwhites) all kept above the elbow. Angie brought my vision to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. The process at Baron Art was seamless. After submitting a consultation form, I heard back within 1-2 days and coordinated everything with Cat (Angie's assistant) via email. Cat was wonderful, detailed, and quick to reply. On the day of my appointment, I received digital aftercare instructions after I checked in. Before starting, Angie was incredibly patient. She adjusted the tiger's scale on her iPad to match my arm and printed several stencils to ensure the size and placement was just right. She then freehanded the florals, precisely incorporating the negative space I requested to keep the design from feeling too heavy. Angie is incredibly talented and has a light touch. Even the pain in the inner bicep area was manageable. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session, and the result was perfect. This piece means so much to me and is very close to my heart, as it's a memorial for my mom who passed away recently. The forget-me-nots were her favorite flowers, and the narcissus paperwhites and honeysuckle are our birth flowers. The tiger was the first stuffed animal that my parents bought for me when we first immigrated to the US. It was my "guardian" throughout my childhood. Angie, thank you very much for your kindness and for creating such a meaningful, beautiful piece. This was the first of two sessions, and I already love it so much--I can't wait to see how it turns out! Some notes: - Snacks: I brought along Gatorade and was sipping on it before and during my session. I ate some candy and had a protein bar during the breaks too. It helped so much to keep my blood sugar up. - Vibe: So relaxing! The studio was spacious, and they were playing a throwback playlist from like the 2010s lol. I was vibing out and didn't even use the earbuds I brought! Everyone was so friendly too! Throughout the session, I noticed a couple artists stopped by to admire Angie's work as she was doing the tiger :) - Parking: parking in this location wasn't actually too bad. There's a structure about a 5 min walk away from the studio down the street. Just turn right into the little street where the Arrow Lodge Brewing is at. Go in a little bit, and it's on the left hand side. If you reach S Santa Fe Ave, you've gone too far!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

I heard about this place from other moms at her school, and I'm so glad we went. They squeezed us in immediately and were just great. Always spoke directly to my daughter, explained the process. Went though jewelry, explained all of that. I didn't get the name of the person who did the piercing, but he was amazing. He described everything to her, had her do deep breathing. It was done quick while also taking his time with everything. She felt secure and brave, I'm just so happy with her experience! I will definitely be going back after looking at some tattoo work as well, it all looked great.
