    drove from the San Fernando valley to get tattooed by the best in town, met charlot last year and saw her talent in social media posts and finally made it out there and she did not disappoint! Her hand was light and work was amazing! I can't wait to get more ink soon! Thank God I found someone so talented and beautiful and thoughtful!

    Charlot is the sweetest and I love her work. She followed up a few days after to ask how I was doing and if the tattoos where healing good, something I have never had with any other artist that did my other ones. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can.

    I had an amazing experience working with Charlot for my tattoo. She was able to take my initial concept and rough sketch and create something even better while keeping the meaning behind it. She has a light touch and is a true artist with her line work and shading! The studio is easy to find and a comfortable and inviting space. Would highly recommend getting your next tattoo from Charlot.

    When it comes to finding the right artist, mutual trust and vibes is a MUST to have the best experience and outcome for life. I have had so many various great experiences with different artists as ive grown over the last 15 years, each one fitting to where I am in my life. I had arrived to Charlot at the exactly perfect time. I've been dreaming of the perfect chest piece and I waited until I found the perfect artist. Im so happy I waited! Where should I begin.. PRE Planning - everything was done remotely, so convenient! Super smooth communication, started off with my very vaguely described vision. She asked for inspiration photos, description, and photos of the area I wanted done, i sent her a few different angles so she had a good foundation to lay a design out. she later returned with a few mock ups that was in alignment with what I wanted, the amount of sessions it would take, her price range. All checked out well so we set a date to meet in her studio. DAY 1- THE SETUP looked over initial mockup together and we played around with all the options to really make it come to life on screen. I put my trust fully in her hands! Super fun process, she gave me a verbal play by play with each step of the process in real time so I never had to guess what was coming next or what she was doing. She laid the stencil on me and when we felt confident it was perfect, it was time for her to get to work! During our session we chatted, she made sure i wasnt in any discomfort at any moment. I was relaxed the entire time. I almost fell asleep. Her amazing apprentice was present to view and learn and it was so nice to witness Charlot teach as she was working on me. She put great energy into the fine details for our first session, so we ended the day to rest for day 2! DAY 2 - TRANSFORMATION I came in and Charlot had mapped out our finale, stencil on, breakfast eaten and back to work! she laid the rest of the design on me efficiently and meticulously until everything was perfect. Again, she made sure I had zero discomfort even though she had worked on me the day before. We shared laughs, she let me vent, cry, and even shared peacefully silent moments. She added the final touches at the end, some of which was challenging but she made it look SO easy and made sure I was comfortable all the way to the end. we were both so worked by the end of the day but you couldnt tell cause the excitement for the outcome was so real. We took pics, and marveled at the final outcome together. Then I went home to sleep so good! My session with Charlot wasnt just a tattoo appointment. It was seriously INK THERAPY. I feel so brand new, I rediscovered a love for myself I had almost forgotten and sprouted so much more love for Charlot. Tattoos hurt its normal! But through the process, She had poured love back into me as I released inner pain I held deep down. I learned to love myself even deeper now! Her passion, compassion and soul manifests through her art and im so excited to wear on me forever as a daily reminder that life is so beautiful knowing there are people still taking care of each other this way. She is amazing and if you ever get the opportunity to book with her please do, and come with an open heart, open mind and ready to trust the process. You may leave the studio slightly shifted in a wonderful way with a beautiful piece of art remind you of your true beauty. Will I come back? Yea always and every time!

    I always have the best experience with Charlot. She's the sweetest. She takes her time every single time and makes sure the tattoo looks amazing. I 1000% recommend her.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Charlot of Ink Therapy! I came in for a crown tattoo and was absolutely blown away by her technique. The fine line detail is flawless -- truly a work of art. Charlot took her time, was so gentle and intentional, and made the entire experience feel so personal and safe. Her care and precision are unmatched. You can tell she genuinely cares about her craft and her clients. Hands down, she is the BEST tattoo artist I've ever worked with. If you're looking for someone with both insane talent and a beautiful soul behind the needle, Charlot is it. Run, don't walk!

    Charlot is fantastic! She did my fine line complicated bouquet tattoo and has done 2 tattoos for my daughter and she is just exceptional. Her attention to detail, artistic ability, and creativity along with her calm, accommodating demeanor make the whole experience one you'll walk away smiling about. I also have a Dr. Woo fine line tattoo and hers is honestly the same caliber. Couldn't recommend her enough. Bonus that she's so kind!! You won't regret going to her and you'll walk away with a work of art.

    Getting a tattoo is always an experience, but when you have Charlotparis, it is a very intimate setting and you feel comfortable. During my first visit, it took all day and she was so nice to get dinner and provide some candy throughout the day. She does amazing line work and I uploaded the final photo. If needed, numbing cream is available. I did come by for a touch up and Charlotparis was just as nice as the first time I met with her. I definitely recommend stopping here to get a tattoo. The shop is clean and there is ample parking.

    Charlot did an amazing job on my new arm piece!! 10/10 She nailed it!!

    Charlot did an amazing job on my new arm piece!! Was looking for someone to do fine line work and she nailed it! She was very patient and took her time with me so we could put together every idea we came up with! 10/10

    Charlot is amazing. Not only is her work immaculate, she makes sure you're comfortable and happy with every step of the process. She is a true professional who takes pride in making sure you're leaving with what she deems, a great piece. I was impressed seeing her work online, and even more impressed with how she executes it. Our session was around 5 hours and the entire time, I felt like I was catching up with an old friend - the time went by so fast; I felt bad we were there so late, but she assured me that she wanted me to be happy with what I was leaving with. She made some changes to the original concept I provided her and it made me love it so much more!

    Such a sweet and amazing person. From the moment I booked the tattoo, until the very end. Love her vibe energy and transparency. I'm not much of a talker, but talked through most of the appointment. Her attention to detail and making sure it looks just right. I plan on getting more tattoos and will be going to her. Love that I made a new friend in the process!

    Yesterday I got my first tattoo with Charlot and man, 10/10! I was a bit nervous going in since it was my first tattoo but as soon as I met Charlot, she instantly made me comfortable with the energy she puts out. A few things that stood out to me was that she acknowledged it was my first tattoo so she took the time to explain how the tattoo gun works and how the skin absorbs the ink. Everything was cleaned and sanitized and she made sure she kept that up throughout the whole session. Before we got started, she took the time to make sure the design I wanted and size was up to my standard. No gun touched my skin until she knew I was happy with what was created. Once we were done, she provided me with an after care baggie with everything I needed for post care and even some sweet treats! She explained what I needed to do for the next week to make sure my tattoo healed efficiently! If you're thinking of getting your first tattoo or even adding another piece, go to Charlot! Thank you again and I'm already thinking of #2!

    I am absolutely in AWE with how Charlot designed my most recent tattoo! I sent her a Pinterest board of general things I wanted and she easily surpassed how I imagined it! She made sure I loved every bit of the design, reassured that she can add/remove/change anything, and made the overall process very easy and relaxing. The studio itself is clean, well maintained, and has such a cute vibe to it! I already can't wait to book future appointments with her!

I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

He also gives cat stickers every time (love cat enthusiasts) and he makes you feel so safe and comfortable no matter what you're looking to get done. Couldn't recommend more! Recently got my nose ring in after he advised me to keep my stud in for a long time. He's also done my conch and inner helix. All fabulous experiences and I will keep coming back!

Together, we fine tuned the piece and I was told the price, time it would take and who would be doing the piece based on expertise. The process was streamlined and smooth.

It was extremely clean and I trusted the process entirely. The price seemed steep given I have gotten the other tattoos in the Midwest. But I truly believe you get what you pay for and this piece is priceless. So grateful for Alex, the artist, Nat and other staff that helped me get this done. Highly recommend Cleopatra Ink!

My appt time was 10:30am on Sat 2/21/26, and they asked me to be there 10 min early, so I was. They checked me in and pointed me to the couches, then just ignored me for 45 min, and finally took me 50 min after my scheduled appt time. No offer for water or coffee/tea, no acknowledgment about the wait (until the very end of my wait). They opened at 10am and weren't doing a damn thing the entire 50 min wait! Two were playing chess when I walked in. When they finally took me, they didn't inquire about my "why" regarding the piece; they just asked for a description and some inspiration examples. They then drew up the design digitally, which was good but not epic. I was only getting black and grey. The price... $2,500 for 8-16 hrs in the chair. Wtf. Even if the piece takes 16 hrs (which I don't think it will), it comes to $156.25 per hr, before tip. Umm, that seems rather steep to me. Their work, from what I've viewed, is good. Studio is professional. Their handling of me for this appointment was offensively impersonal and unprofessional. I will never go back, and hope this review hits a button for them on their lack of care on the customer experience.
