Thickness of the lettering is uneven, and you can see how messy the writing is.

Update: 7 months since I got my tattoo. My tattoo artist did hit me up after seeing my review and offered to touch up and fix my tattoo after seeing my review a few months later. I did do all the proper care for a tattoo (as I do have many, so I should know), but at this point I think I would need more than just a touch up for this one (see updated picture).

Came in CLUTCH! I was visiting family and my tragus piercing mysteriously fell out of my ear, so I did a quick search and found this place! I called ahead to see if they'd take me as a walk in and they were super friendly on the phone and just as friendly in-person. In just a few hours my tragus piercing had almost fully closed but the piercer rescued my piercing and helped me pick out new jewelry as well :)

I should have been suspicious when Riggs asked for a review before we left his shop. I gave the review as requested and if course whe. The ink was fresh, it looked great. I followed the aftercare as he explained. Within a mmonth, half of the heart outline had completely faded and the other tat is faded out in spots too. My wave design is a dotted line. I messaged the shop recently to ask about getting them fixed when I am in town and didn't get a response.

My daughter got to pick the color and size earrings she got. They are acrylic avoiding any metal allergies.

Ear piercing review for Amber Amber is fantastic! I went to her in December to get my closed holes re-pierced and to "scope out the situation" before bringing my daughter in for her 7th birthday. Amber was very patient and answered all of my questions and educated me beyond my expectations. I got my holes re-pierced in December and then brought my daughter back with me so I could get a 2nd piercing on my lobes and get hers pierced for the first time. She is GREAT with kids and ensures they don't see the needle. Everything is so clean and I had no qualms whatsoever. My daughter is thrilled with her hot pink earrings and I am loving getting to wear earrings again! The whole studio is clean and friendly. It's not built for kids, so I get the music choices and decorations. Luckily my daughter wasn't fixated on everything else happening around her. All the staff were kind and helpful- allowing my daughter to look around and play some video games. I highly recommend Amber and Irvine Ink for your child's piercings (or even your own!). It's clean, and it's educated & skilled unlike going somewhere that hands a teenage a piercing gun that is effectively shooting blind with a loud pop in their ear.

Great hospitality and vibes of the place! Had such an amazing experience with the artists! Came and had a walk in with some friends and they were more than willing to take us and to help us out, and everything turned out amazing!

This is my favorite place to get any ink work done! Riggs has been my go-to artist for years now. He's done the majority of my back piece, and recently my shoulder and a coverup piece on my wrist. He's beyond talented! I highly recommend his shop!

I've been getting my tattoos done by Riggs for years and he always does amazing work! He's covered up some of my old tattoos for me even. I highly recommend getting your work done by him! He's super fast which is nice too because it's less painful for me

Riggs is the man! I've seen him 5 times (and counting). he always does amazing work and makes sure his customers get exactly what they want. I will always be going to Irvine ink tattoo for all my tattoos. if you're looking for a great place to get a tattoo, all the artists at this establishment are extremely talented!! The atmosphere is awesome too. Lots of awesome artwork to look at and everyone is super friendly.

came w my two friends all got little tattoos and all had the best experience!

best vibes, easy quick small tattoo at a great price. came in as a walk in and became besties w all the artists and got serviced so quickly. only my second tattoo in 2 years and was made to feel so safe and confident in what i was getting! definitely recommend and will be back!

I have been coming here on and off for nearly 8 years now and Riggs and the team have always been nice and accommodating. They treat everyone that walks through the door with the utmost respect. They also deliver a high quality of product/service while keeping fun conversations every single time. I will be continuing to come here for years to come and I highly recommend anyone in the area to do so as well.

How much for my 2nd ear piercing?

It was around $50, super cool spot to do it too. One person in our group had had her ears pierced a couple of times but it would never heal. The piercer here knew her stuff and my friend has had no problems with her piercings at all.

Best spontaneous decision ever! Christian did my mom's nose piercing and was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. Honestly, everyone in the shop was so friendly and made us feel taken care of. Zac did my sunflower tattoo and Nate did my mom's, and both turned out beautifully. They even helped us draw out the matching design we wanted so it came out exactly right. On top of that, the shop is super clean, aesthetically pleasing, and has such a good layout and vibe. We left obsessed with our tattoos and really grateful for the experience. We'll definitely be coming back!

He's versatile in all different art styles and has never failed me. The price is worth the quality. Even if your tattoo didn't heal right, he'll happily fix it up for no additional cost. I was nervous when it came to getting my first tattoo, but Travis was very patient and explained the process step by step. He made sure I was comfortable and before I knew it, he was done and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Its truly a judgment free zone. No matter what you look like or the type of tattoo you get, you'll never feel judged or uncomfortable. As someone who's insecure about their body, Travis helped me feel confident and empowered. If you want a tattoo artist with good vibes and genuinely loves his job + the people he works with: Stick with my man Travis

Huge thank you to David for adding to my canvas! The piece he did was actually my biggest and he…read moretold me that it was his biggest piece as well. I've been following a few of the Baron artists on instagram for a while. I really like most their style is fine line. I found David and really liked his style of gentle smoke and transitions. It was easy to book with him through their website link. David's a bit shy but when I came for my appointment, we worked together to lock in the final design. It was a smooth session. The studio is very open and close to other chairs so I appreciate that he had a screen set up to make our session more private since the piece was in my upper thigh. He provided a complimentary first touch up.

From the very first consultation to the final touch-up, the entire experience was professional, comfortable, and stress‑free. The artist took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and turned my idea into a design that was even better than I imagined. The linework is clean, precise, and super detailed; the shading is smooth and natural, and the overall composition is perfect. During the session, the artist was gentle, patient, and checked in on me regularly to make sure I was okay. The studio was clean, hygienic, and had a really relaxed atmosphere. I'm absolutely in love with the result. It's beautiful, meaningful, and done with so much skill. I highly recommend this artist to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and caring tattooist. I will definitely be coming back for my next piece!
