Two years ago, my husband and I walked in to commemorate our 29th anniversary with American traditional tattoos. Kyle greeted us with a positive attitude, and we walked out with super clean, crisp sharp-looking daggers. Kyle's tattoos were so amazing, we now have 3 each and can't wait to book the next one

JC is super nice everything went swimmingly. My companion went in for a piercing and with no appointment everything went perfect.

JC was the sweetest and so gentle! 10/10 recommend!

JC was the sweetest and so gentle! From helping me pick out Jewlery to aftercare, I was taken such good care of from start to finish! 10/10 recommend!

Great work! My wife and I went to commemorate a trip we were taking for our anniversary. We came in for a walk in and Michael was quick to set us up and very professional. I'm very pleased with the quality of the ink I got. The vibe in the shop is nice, very chill but attentive. Owner & Michael were very warm and friendly. Would absolutely come again!

Decided to get a tattoo while visiting Monterey and came across this place. As soon as I walked in, the place was very nice and kept clean. Kyle was very friendly and was attentive at explaining every detail about the process of getting the tattoo done. I definitely recommend this place! Super comfortable atmosphere!

Tropical Sunset tattoo. I love it!! For my tattoo artist, pls state your name. I have other tattoos I would like you to do .

I didn't know I was going to get a tattoo on this trip to Monterey. I have always wanted a tattoo. Sunset , water , palm tree and something tropical. My artist put everything together and it came out beautiful. I love the way that he designed it. I recommend this establishment because I had a great experience here.

My new piercings!

New: I just got a new tattoo, as always it was a great time talking to her, and get inked by her :)…read more Old: Marlo is simply AWESOME! Her design always amazes me...! It's so honored that I have her artwork on my skin and you will sure be happy about your tattoo too, because she won't put ink on you until you're surely happy with the design.

Recently back for more. And yes it was worth the effort and planning to get an appointment. If you…read moreare reading this review I will assume you are a serious tattoo aficionado who respects/appreciates a true artist. Everyone has their personal opinion about tattoos. And if you are a person reading reviews of tattoo artists hoping to find a person to trust with putting art on your body that is permanent I can't recommend enough the value of coming to this studio to see Marlo. She is a true artist. Tattooing to me should represent a spiritual experience with the artist. Trust in them to put on your body a piece of art that fits you. Something that matches your unique life and personality. Well, Marlo does all that. No stencils. Just free drawing an extension of my heart onto my body to remind me of my strength and resilience. She told me more meanings and I was absolutely touched at the insight she had into me as a woman. She created a visual representation that is so beautiful. Does getting a tattoo hurt? Yes. Of course it does. But Marlo is an amazingly caring professional and will stop as needed to check in on you and take breaks if necessary. But don't go into it thinking it isn't going to hurt. That is just silly. Some parts hurt less than others of course and everyone has their pain tolerance. But be realistic peeps, come on now! Be safe and enjoy life! SYOY!

They have an amazing selection of real gold, rose gold and white gold jewelry. Maddie was a wonderful help at the desk selecting our jewelry and giving us the confidence to make our selections. Mariana pierced us both and was so skilled! I'm not gonna say it didn't hurt but she was quick and explained everything in detail as it was happening. I highly recommend this spot. It is clean and very sanitary.

Dropped in for a walk in appt and was greeted with a smile. The process was easy and fairly quick…read more I signed documents/ waivers and the person helping me talked me through the sterilization process. Once I got into the room my piercer was friendly and very thorough. My previous piercing was not even on both sides and he took the time to show me several placements for my second hole to create the look I wanted. He walked me through some breathing exercises to preform to help decrease the pain. Before my visit I checked out the website which included the cost of the piercing ($80) for a second hole. Additionally, the website mentioned walk ins are welcome from Thursday - Sunday. My only complain about this shop was the lack of transparency on cost. Personally, I'm someone who prefers everything to be clearly listed black and white so I can review the information and make informed decisions without feeling pressured. At this shop, you need to ask about the price of each individual piece, which can be a little uncomfortable. I asked for quotes on a few jewelry options, and when I made my selection, I was told the jewelry would cost $30 but it ended up being $28 per piece, which came out to $56 for both ears. There was also a $36 charge for two titanium threadless labret posts (the backing, I believe), which I hadn't anticipated. On top of that, I was charged $10 for saline spray for aftercare, something that wasn't mentioned beforehand. In my head, I was estimating around $150 total, factoring in the $80 listed for the piercing and some variable jewelry cost. So walking out with a $211 bill was a bit of a surprise. I really wish the full breakdown, especially the add ons, was made more transparent either online or displayed clearly in the shop to avoid that kind of sticker shock. With that said, I'm very happy with my piercing and the overall experience. The staff was professional and kind, and the shop was clean and clearly run with care. I plan on coming back for future piercings and recommend it to others.
