Came back to continue working on My horror Themed Leg tattoos With Lucas , if I had more free time Id be covered in tattoos already but its important when you're putting something permanent on your body to get it done by the right people my experience was we spent alot of time talking about the tattoo before any ink ever got laid down which is very important especially for bigger pieces Size, Placement , how much of the desired image is actually being used and opinions about where you want it and position if it was up to me id slap them on like stickers but thankfully conversations were had about my future plans so I could make the final decision that worked best for me. I'll be back for more when time allows it! read more

Innerlight Tattoo - My favorite vacation spot. - Tattoo Near Me - Torrance, California

'm really disappointed with my experience at Innerlight Tattoo. The artist tattooed my piece upside down, which is a pretty major mistake for something permanent. What made it worse was the response afterward -- instead of taking accountability, they tried to frame it as a "communication error," which felt dismissive and unprofessional. I understand that mistakes can happen, but how a shop handles them matters just as much as the work itself. I was hoping for honesty, ownership, and a solution, but instead I felt like my concerns were brushed off. If you're considering getting work here, I strongly recommend triple-checking placement and orientation before the stencil goes on. I wish I had pushed harder in that moment. read more

Innerlight Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Torrance, California

I couldn't be happier with my experience at this shop! From the moment I walked in, Damien made me feel completely at ease--he's incredibly professional, but also down-to-earth and genuinely kind. Within minutes, it felt like I'd known him for years. I came in with a loose idea for a tattoo--something inspired by water lettuce and lily pads--and Damien brought it to life beautifully in just 25-30 minutes. His pace was thoughtful and precise, never rushed. You could really see the care and intention in every detail. He also took the time to let me know that the placement I chose might be a bit uncomfortable (gently, of course!), and walked me through the healing process for that particular area. Thanks to him, I felt well-prepared and there were no surprises. To top it all off, I brought my partner and my mom along for moral support--this was her first time seeing a tattoo done--and Damien went out of his way to make them comfortable, even setting out chairs for them and helping ease my mom's nerves with such kindness and patience. The final artwork is stunning. I'm beyond thrilled with how it turned out, and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. If you're looking for not just a talented artist, but someone who truly cares about the entire process, I can't recommend Damien and his shop enough! read more

The space is very clean and welcoming! My tattoo artist Christian is amazing! They take walk-ins and appointments and are very try communicative every step of the way! read more

Went here recently to see Nico experience was great. Felt like he spent a lot of time on detail the placement of the tattoo which was going on my elbow. He wanted to make sure when I moved my elbow it move to. Extra attention to stuff like that is what will keep me going back for more work read more

Amazing shop! I recently went in to get my first tattoo on a bit of an impulse, but I had a great time! I was a bit nervous about my placement, I wanted a small tat on my lower sternum, but Mauricio did a great job with making me feel super comfortable, which is a huge factor in my opinion. He went over the whole process as well as aftercare thoroughly, and I felt comfortable enough to express how I actually felt about the stencil and its placement lol. Super chill guy and I will definitely be back! read more

Damien is amazing. He's got artistic depth, hands that can execute the finest details, and patience to get the work done well. I brought a bunch of reference images for a music-watercolor idea and Damien took his time to really understand and then he executed!! I love my latest tattoo by Damien. He is a kind human, and his prices are great as well. The staff are kind and the location is clean and welcoming. I'll be back for my next tat soon. TY Damien (aka: Valient) read more

Review for Nico- I have been getting work done by Nico for years. He's an amazing artist, detail oriented and extremely talented and professional. He's the only artist I recommend to any of my friends wanting any work. Book with confidence! read more

Been tattooed here twice, both by separate people. The vibe here is nice. I thought Nico was very patient and worked well with the design that I wanted. He had some inputs that went a long way into how the tattoo eventually came out. Thank you Nico! Also shout out to Lucas who tattooed me here as well a few years back. Innerlight Tattoo really has some awesome artists in their mix. read more

Jenn is FABULOUS. I had such a wonderful experience with her. She is so talented, sweet, and professional. I had a genuinely good time while I was there! For the tattoo process specifically- Jenn has a light hand and was super attentive to my comfort level. She made me feel so comfortable to ask to change positions to get more comfy or to take a quick break. The environment of the shop in general is so friendly and all the other artists were super cool and made me feel right at home. And of course, for the tattoo itself- it is easily my favorite out of my 25+ tattoos. Jenn's style, line work and coloring work is incredible. I am absolutely in love with this piece and I get compliments on it basically daily. I cannot wait to come back and get more from her! read more

Innerlight Tattoo - Chappell Roan Pink Pony Club tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Torrance, California

I've been a returning customer, after initially finding this shop about a year or so ago. I've used artists Sandy and Lucas. Both who are personable and do amazing work. I stopped in today for touch ups on both my left and right hand from Lucas, as well as a few smaller additions to my hands, back of ear and bicep. The shop as always, is clean and all of the artists are extremely welcoming. If you're looking for your next tattoo, this is the place to go to! I wouldn't hesitate to get work done by any of their artists! They do take walk ins, but it's best to do a consultation and set an appointment date as they can get pretty busy. Don't hesitate to stop in! Only good vibes here. read more

Parking lot clear, obviously due to covid. Walked in and waited due to customers before me. Every artist had someone in their chair. Open stations, neat and CDC guidelines in order. Starting rate is $80. I ended up speaking with Sandy and the owner, and both were beyond personable and professional. Sanitized environment, overall great experience. read more

Innerlight Tattoo is the shop you've been looking for. It was for me, anyway. The shop is very bright and super clean, and the staff and all the artists are very friendly and approachable. Innerlight has a diverse panel of artists and they all do exceedingly well in their own style and craft. I have both of my arms, my back, my chest and part of my legs done, so I don't have a lot of room left, and I have a lot of experience with different artists in shops. I went in last month and spoke with owner Damien about starting some work on my hands; a huge undertaking to me as it's obviously a very visible spot. Damien has taken my ideas and done absolutely beautiful work on my hands. These days, there are a lot a very good artists to choose from, especially in the area we live in. But to find an artist that not only has excellent craft, but is such a friendly and thoughtful person who not only wants your tattoo to be the best outcome possible, but also wants to make sure the experiences as pleasant as possible as well, that's not an easy task! If you're reading this review because you're thinking of going in and getting some work done from these guys, I wouldn't hesitate. You won't go wrong here! read more

Friend and I were looking for a place to get some impulsive tattoos. I called ahead to see if they'd be able to take us a walk-ins and even over the phone they are cool and helpful. Walked in to the shop, greeted off the bat and got linked up to an artist almost right away! Mauricio hooked it up and gave us exactly what we wanted. Top notch artist, worth cheating on my usual artist haha. Super cool shop, super cool artists. read more

GO TO SANDEE!!!! She has done now 4 of my tattoos and they're all amazing! She did this amazing daffodil on my forearm and she offered a free touch up when needed. It's been 2 years since I got it and it looks exactly like I walked out of the shop. She's amazing and I highly recommend her. read more

My apologies as this is over 1 1/2 months overdue. I got in touch with Mauricio from Innerlight Tattoo over the phone with a new idea, and asked if he could do it. Thankfully, he said yes. Just as before, no hassle whatsoever. I sent a few pictures and we were both on the same page with the idea. Pictures speak a thousand words....take a look and just know that I am totally satisfied with Mauricio's talent and would again highly recommend him for your art work. Thank you once more, Mauricio!!!! read more

Love going to this shop, easily one of the best in the area. Nico especially has been awesome across multiple pieces for me.

Innerlight Tattoo - hand tattoo from jenn - Tattoo Near Me - Torrance, California

Walked in and was greeted with a lot of hellos. seemed nice enough until suddenly one of the women seated at a center table got up and came towards me rather aggressively. I felt a sense of intimidation and a potential for violence in her. I explained that I was looking for a tattoo and wanted to see the wall art for inspiration and she just blankly stared at me, still with a sense of intimidation. Very uncomfortable experience to say the least. So I left immediately and as I tried to express my feeling of uncomfortability for howni was treated and recommend she not treat others the way she did me to ensure sh doesn't lose potential clients she just strangely smiled and said goodbye dismissively. Wouldn't trust this shops integrity or it's it's work. Seems like a bunch of phony droids who wish they were on some kind of reality show they're not. lol read more

Went and had my tattoo done by Lucas. Because I was late for my appointment, he still accommodated my request. Did not regret it a bit. Place is clean and staff is friendly. Price is reasonable. read more

Freaking AMAZING, each and every time I've come here everyone is respectful and concerning about what I want they listen, take their time to listen and design exactly what I in-vision in my mind BUT so much better than I ever thought it could be when completed! The atmosphere is amazing super chill vibes and low key. We came in with a bridal party and each one of the 6 of us left with amazing tats! We were so happy! The pricing is fair I hate to say it but for the quality of work and talent they probably low ball themselves seriously talented artist here! We all had different style work done and each was amazingly over the top! Some of the girls fell asleep while getting work done saying they could hardly feel anything. I drive over two hours but would drive across the state to get work done here!!!!! read more

Nico is amazing at what he does. Took his time on the placement to make sure everything would come out looking right, and his attention to detail is what makes a great tattoo. Definitely coming back. read more

I could not have asked for a better first tattoo experience. My brother had gotten a sweet tattoo from Vitor here last year, so I decided to browse a bit. I was going in for what is essentially a cosmic jellyfish with a watercolor flair, so I knew I needed someone with clean linework and a lot of practice with good color. After browsing through Instagram, I came across Damien's work, and upon seeing his work on beta fish, a mermaid, and some floral watercolor tattoos, I knew he'd be able to do what I wanted. Gave it some time to marinade, and then in mid-February, I scheduled a consultation. As far as first impressions go, the shop was CLEAN. Simple set-up and clear work areas separated by a long stretch of light tables where you can see the artists at work. I was greeted by some of the other artists, and then Damien came to the front desk. Real brief consultation, but real brief was all he needed. I showed him the rough idea I had, some of his pieces that I really liked style-wise, and the placement, and after a couple minutes I had an appointment scheduled and a fair quote. All I had to do at that point was wait a couple weeks. Then came March 7th, when I got my tattoo. We spent the first hour finishing my stencil. Damien had the majority of it worked out, but he consulted with me to make sure the text was to my liking, and pitched some ideas for the tentacles. Once that was sorted out, he sat me down and proceeded to put in some great work for about three / three-and-a-half hours with a half-hour break after the linework (first picture). Damien was really focused on the work, but he would check in with me about the pain and apologize for some of the longer pulls he had to do - those were entirely on me since I picked a tattoo like this, but I appreciated that he was concerned about me. The final result is PHENOMENAL (second picture). Really crisp lines, clean text, and gorgeous coloring (ESPECIALLY the bell, which was so cool to watch unfold - how often do you get to see someone piece together a galaxy???). Everyone I've shown it to has loved it, and I intend to show it off once it's finished healing. Whenever I get a second tattoo, Damien will be my first choice, but based on what I saw in the studio when I was there, the entire shop has earned my trust, as well as my endorsement for those of you looking to get a tattoo. read more

The quality of your tattoo will entirely depend on who you get as an artist. My friend and I got matching tattoos here. We did a walk-in appointment and assumed we would be okay with whoever would be available. We were wrong. We got a simple text tattoo for context and had 2 different artists. This was also my first tattoo. My tattoo artist gave me inconsistent lines (one line is thinner than another when they're supposed to be the same thickness), uneven spacing between letters, and overall a sloppy job for a relatively simple font. Also, I got my tattoo a little over a year ago, and the tattoo is still raised and not flushed with my skin. I recognize this could be due to my own body chemistry and maybe I'm more susceptible to scarring, but this was the cherry on top of the already shitty tattoo. I took really good care of it as well during the healing process. My best friend got an amazing artist. His lines were crisp, and he approached the whole process in a more professional manner than my artist. I felt he was more detail oriented and really cared for the quality of work he was producing. I regret not having him do both of ours, but it is what it is. Overall, the shop isn't bad but I would proceed with caution and research the artists a little instead of walking in blind. It's a hit or miss. read more

I've gotten a few tattoos done by Lucas. All great work and exactly what I wanted, which is why I kept coming back and will continue to keep coming back. Lucas is a talented artist and the same goes for his coworkers! Great vibes and I was always comfortable. I definitely recommend going to Innerlight Tattoo. read more

Best experience. Love the art work. You guys are awesome. Very kind, friendly and so helpful from the door. Then the artist, shout out to Mauricio. I hope I got that right. I showed him a pic. He said, he can do it. He told me where to stick it. I said, let's do it. I sure was nervous at first. But it wasn't bad at all. I appreciate his knowledge and professionalism. Thanks to everyone at the Innerlight Tattoo. read more
