Great shop and excellent, excellent work by Gavin McKee. The shop is clean, everyone is friendly, it's a very mellow and easy vibe inside the shop. I felt comfortable, safe, and am so happy with my finished tattoo! I came to Gavin with variant comic book covers of Poison Ivy and his design of her for my leg blew me away. This was one of the best tattooing experiences I've ever had (and I have well over 10 tatttoos). Here's a photo the shop took of my finished tattoo. read more

MD Tattoo Studio - Poison Ivy holding a skull by Gavin McKee - Tattoo Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

Absolutely love this place. Very clean and friendly shop. The artists at MD are all amazing and all do exceptional work. My daughter and I go to Sima. Sima is an amazing artist her work is stunning. Would not go anywhere else to get a tattoo. Thank you Sima for my beautiful tattoos. read more

Angelique is THE BEST!!! So incredibly talented and experienced. I went to her for a cover up. She answered all of my questions and then designed a perfect drawing of exactly what I wanted and the size I wanted. I had originally gone to a different studio (bad idea) and they said they couldn't do a cover up the smaller size I wanted. Angelique was a complete sweetheart and explained everything she was planning to do and after spent a lot of time making sure I understand the after care instructions. I can't recommend her enough. Thanks Angelique!!! read more

Insanely beautiful shop and even better ink work! So glad I found this place and so surprised I didn't find it sooner. Ani was our artist and she was so kind and welcoming. My mom and I got matching tattoos and we are in love with the detailed line work! Definitely will be back and might just have to get a tattoo from each artist! Thank you MD Studio! read more

From start to finish, my experience at MD Tattoo Studio was absolutely incredible. I recently got a very meaningful tattoo in honor of my beloved dog who passed away, and I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Damon as my artist. From the moment we started discussing the design, Damon was kind, non-judgmental, and truly collaborative. He answered all of my questions with patience and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. What stood out most was how genuinely excited and honored he was to create this tribute piece. Knowing that he understood the emotional weight behind it made me feel confident and at peace with my decision. The final piece exceeded all of my expectations--it's stunning, detailed, and radiates the love I had for my pup. Damon's care, passion, and talent are evident in every line and shadow. I've received so many compliments already, but more importantly, I feel like I carry a part of my dog with me in the most beautiful way. Thank you to the whole MD Tattoo Studio team for creating such a welcoming environment and for making this experience unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for not just an artist, but someone who truly gets it. read more

Took my niece here to get a helix piercing and we had the best experience. She was very nervous about the pain, but the piercer did a wonderful job calming her down and doing the piercing at her pace. She gave us super clear instructions about what to expect both during the process and after. My niece is very happy with her new piercing and we will for sure be back here again! Highly recommend! read more

I booked a touch-up on a very faded and smudged 15+ year old tattoo hoping there was something (or anything!) that could be done to bring it back to life. Damon went above and beyond to restore the line work, pick out the little details, and honestly get this piece looking BETTER than it did originally. I was incredibly impressed with his perfectionist attitude, and the care he took to make this shine. Touch-ups are probably not the most fun or exciting jobs for artists, but Damon seemed to be genuinely invested in the process. The studio was clean, bright, and welcoming, and the staff were all super friendly, patient and helpful. 10/10 would highly recommend* * worth noting that they do film / photograph in the space while folks are being inked. I had no issue with it, but it's something to point out. I am sure they will refrain from doing so if you ask. read more

Gavin was amazing. Clean, busy shop. Lots of clients which made me feel good about my shop choice. Comfortable environment. I am not much of a talker when I'm getting ink done and there was no pressure to talk and Gavin was great at letting me know what he was doing and what work was left. Definitely will be back. read more

By now I've had 4 tattoos from Mike, and he upgraded an old tattoo of mine that was completed by someone else, and we're working on finishing my sleeve. This is the only man I trust to finish my arm, and it's definitely worth the 2.5-hour one-way drive! I've been with him since before the move to Thousand Oaks, and let me tell ya, he is the chillest artist; he has his craft down to a fine art and has the patience of a saint. The tattoo in the picture was my first with Mike and it came out perfect! As for the shop, it's very clean and all the staff is friendly & organized. There's always music playing in a wide variety of genres, and I've also been asked what I wanted to listen to while getting tattooed. Can't wait 'til my next visit! read more

I wanted a memorial tattoo to honor my girlfriend, who passed away in April. I met with Ani last week, and after discussing what I was looking for she sketched something out for me. Went back today and got inked. Ani is methodical and professional. The finished piece turned out just beautiful and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this shop. Thank you Ani. read more

Getting my very first tattoo, I was a bit tentative and did my homework ahead of time. I went to a few different tattoo studios before I went to MD Tattoo Studio. I checked out each artist's portfolio and was blown away. The tattoo I wanted had tons of detail so the owner suggested Angelique who is the queen of detailed tattoos. I couldn't have been happier. Her patience and attention to detail is amazing! I'll definitely be back for more work! read more

The environment and staff are all outstanding. This was my first tattoo and I didn't feel out of place at all.

Thank you! read more

Can't say enough good things about MD Tattoo Studio! My husband and I were lucky enough to have gotten such great tattoos done. I had a cover up done on an almost decade old tattoo done by Pedro. The attention to detail was incredible. He is one very talented artist. My husband's was done by Jim. It was simple Roman numerals of our son's birthday with his initials. It is absolutely perfect. I'm really looking forward to my touch up appointment next month at their new Thousand Oaks location! Highly, highly recommend MD Tattoo Studio! read more

Got my tattoo by Ani with my mom. She was super quick and it was almost painless. Already booked with her for my next tattoo 10/10 will be doing again. read more

First tattoo and it came out amazing! Thank you Gavin! Came out better than I could picture .

Ani did an absolute brilliant job on my tattoos. Everyone here was so friendly and talented. They play awesome music in the shop. Netflix on the tv. Everything is so clean. They sold creams and wipes for aftercare. I was eyeing the merch hoodie hanging on the wall. And they had a bowl of candy at the check in desk. Literally couldnt have asked for a better experience. So glad they had time for me!! Will be going to Ani now anytime I need fine line tattoos. Just look at the detail on that butterfly!! read more

Great experience and perfect tattoo! Gavin did an amazing job. Highly recommended MD tattoo studio

I researched many Tattoo artists to find the best 3d Realist. I narrowed down my choices to 2. After reviewing their work and reading reviews, I chose Mike Devries, owner of MD Tattoo Studio. I am glad I did! Mike wasn't the closest to me, over 4 hour drive each way; he wasn't the least expensive of the two, about the same; He was just the best in visual results and honest reviews. After my first tattoo with Mike for a difficult 3 demensional Rolling Stones tongue tattoo; I was quick to return for a second one 2 months later. I am extremely pleased with the results and glad I chose Mike at MD Tattoo Studio. The shop is modern, clean, and bright. The staff is friendly. The results speak for themselves. Thanks Mike! See you again soon! read more

After a long wait (4 years) from my first tat at MD, I finally had the chance to get my second tat (by Jim Parchen) today. I'm so grateful for Jim and his expertise. He made my tat look 100% better with his recommendations and placement. Jim was a true artist, he was patient, cool, and super nice. He checked up on me throughout the process. It was seemless and painless (personally). I made an appointment, showed up, and bam Jim did the rest!!!! Thank you Jim!!! See you soon!!! read more
