I love Nat he's been around since the 90s back when, I got belly button piercing decades later he's still the best and his staff ! That he mentors they are very professional . Nat was out hopefully on vacay . Decided to let Zara do the piercings they were so on point and even though we were nervous all our questions were answered with knowledge and amazing patience! I honestly have tried diffrent places but always come back here kindness customer service knowledge about after care patience and professionalism matters!!

Great experience here with my daughter. We had been planning getting pierced for over a year. My daughter heard about Nathan's toy drive and that pushed us to go in. We arrived early and met Zara. She was great! Very knowledgeable and gave us great advice. We both felt very comfortable. Store had cool display on walls and enormous selection of titanium, diamond, gold and silver jewelry. Very clean and sterile workspace. We both walked away with a sweet memory as well as helping get toys for children at Christmas. We plan on returning as soon as we heal from this piercing for another round. Thanks Zara & Nathan's tattoos and piercings. I highly recommend them.

Navel piercing
Chen C.

Sasha pierced my navel on short notice and was very kind and encouraging but also precise and focused on making sure everything was symmetrical which I greatly appreciated. She also assessed my anatomy and ensured the piercing would best fit my navel type. I appreciated her honesty, good vibes, and dedication.

Flat and stack piercing
Shawna S.

I came in on Friday night and immediately felt good vibes in the place. I was greeted right away and everyone was really friendly even though they were busy with plenty of walk ins. I liked Zara and she did my flat and stack piercing for me. She was professional, kind and very informative about aftercare. I picked a piece of jewelry that was on the more expensive side, but still reasonably priced compared to some other stores I have looked at. It definitely doesn't seem like they are trying to overprice things. This is the place I'm coming to for my future piercings without a doubt.

Memorial tattoo in original handwriting
Naomi K.

David LeCompte did a really meaningful tattoo above my ankle to honor my dad who passed away. He was very kind, encouraging, and efficient. I absolutely love how it turned out and am so thankful! The whole team at Nathan's were filled with joy and made it a very special experience. 10/10 highly recommend the artist and the tattoo shop!

Popped in for their "Galentine" Event 2.9.25 and was welcomed warmly by Crystal and E V E R Y O N E there before the first glass of Korbel hit my hand! LOL When I explained it was my first time, Crystal walked me to the front and gave me the run down of the layout and displays. Then she showed me pieces spotlighted, and curated specifically, for this event by Buddha Jewelry. Since I perused Buddha's website the night before, I pulled up my pic of the piece I was interested in getting, but wanted suggestions for placement. Crystal was again, VERY HELPFUL in using a clear ear guide with the piece attached to hold up to my ear and show me her suggestion. I loved that she suggested the flat of my ear, so the piece would have the movement I wanted and my rook would still be available for a future piercing. I only started multiple piercings last year for my birthday. Now that I have a better understanding of healing time and the suggested curating 1 pierce at a time, it's can see this being my new BDay tradition. lol We then selected a pair for a third lobe piercing, since the lobes heal easier and can be done in multiples and because, darn it, I wanted a third lobe! For that she showed me a great collection of titanium studs. I chose a set of sparkling crystals and she again used a tool to find the proper size. Once my choices were made, she started the paperwork and spelled out everything I should expect so I'd know of my investment ahead of time. At this point, gals started coming in waves for the event, so she took my pieces to the Autoclave sanitizer and let the tech, "Zoo", know I was seated and awaiting piercing. As others have reviewed, Zoo is a doll! She checked for latex allergy before grabbing gloves and then explained the process we'd go through, from marking placement to final cleaning. Once the placement was determined, the piercing began. Third lobe first, to warm me up, then she changed out my backings from a year ago to downsize to a more comfortable, threadless size. Finally, gripping the chair and deeply inhaling, Zoo hit me with the main event. Quick and painful - but QUICK! lol I am SO THRILLED with my new ear art and I'm excited to venture back in on a less exciting day and plan some future adornments. The vibe is casual, but professional and these artists seem genuinely pleased to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for their work. After I was rung up, I was presented with my Buddha Jewelry goodie bag and a cheerful 'So glad you came in and we can't wait to see you again!' Indeed! I shall return! Cheers! "CC"

I've been coming to this shop for about 10 years now, and I recently got a new piercings done by Angel he's absolutely amazing! He's so professional, gentle, and makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process. I barely felt any pain at all! Angel truly knows what he's doing and takes his time to make sure everything is perfect and clean. He's honestly the only person I trust with my piercings. Every experience with him is smooth and stress-free. Nathan the owner is so nice and did my nose piercing years ago. I love this place and jewelry selection is amazing! I've also want to thank Nathan the owner, recommended Javier to me, and I'm so glad he did I've now gotten 11 tattoos with him, and every single one has turned out amazing. Javier is incredibly talented, especially with fine line work and detail. He's patient, professional, and always makes sure I'm comfortable and happy with the design before starting. You can really tell he cares about his work and his clients. I'm so happy I found this place Nathan's shop is my first choice for tattoos and piercings. I can't recommend Javier enough!!!

Fresh conch. All the piercings except lobes were done at Nathans
Heather M.

Yet another top notch experience! I've been in several times since my original review and I've never been disappointed. I've now had 9 piercings done at Nathan's and a tattoo and each time I've been impressed with how friendly, warm, and communicative everyone who works there is. This is a great team that clearly enjoy what they do and enjoy working together. The shop itself is super clean, welcoming, full of waaay too much super tempting jewlery and just an all around pleasant place. Highly recommend!

I wanted to personally write this about Sasha, she was so awesome! She pierced mine and my cousins ears, I just got a flat and my cousin got 2 helix piercings. Very professional but also love her personality, thanks so much Sasha we love our piercings so so much. I love Nathans the vibe is amazing!!!!

Left helix piercing

10/10 - I had an absolute great experience. This shop was recommended to me by a friend. I was a bit nervous walking in (first time being inside a tattoo/piercing shop) but I was immediately welcomed by friendly staff and shop owner Nathan. Nathan explained everything in detail and gave me great suggestions. Our conversation never felt rushed despite the fact that more and more customers were walking in. He was in tune with the flow of his shop and simultaneously made sure other customers were being helped. Finally, we did the piercings. I had two piercings done on my left helix. Felt pressure and a bit of a sting but no pain. Everything done in a clean sanitary manner(very impressed) So I will definitely be back for my right helix and I've already recommended Nathan's to others. Thank you Nathan!

Do you allow folks to bring their own jewelry for ear piercing?

No they start with a stud then after it heals you can move to a hoop to prevent it from infecting or having any other complications

Hi there! I am planning to get a 3 inch long writing tattoo in black ink saying "Love yourself first". Can I please get a quote for that?

It is $35 for the ear piercing itself, plus the cost of jewelry. But if an apprentice pierces your ears, that rate goes down to $15.

What is an estimate on a tongue piercing?

Honestly it really depends on the quality of the jewelry you select. I can't recommend Nathan enough. My wife was told 20 years ago that she couldn't pierce her tongue and although Nathan saw the same thing he assured us that it was safe. He was…

She was so kind and professional the entire time, made sure I was comfortable, and the piercing itself was done painlessly! When I mentioned wanting to possibly switch to a hoop one day, she went back to make sure the piercing spot was perfect for my future plans. Also, when I mentioned that I was a little dizzy post-piercing [my fault for not having eaten anything], she immediately had a capri sun in my hand, and made sure I was completely fine before leaving. All in all I could not have asked for a better experience, and will definitely be going back for future piercings!

My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.

Messaged her and was able to get an appointment within a week. I told her what I was wanting, and the inspiration behind it. She was able to take those parameters and come up with a piece that I really liked. I was super nervous, having not done this before. She was reassuring and fun to be around.

In February 2026, my husband Rob passed unexpectedly, one month before we would have celebrated 49…read moreyears together. I have been in shock, my sleep is sporadic, and grief has consumed me. Then, two weeks ago, I woke up from a dream in which Rob's name was being tattooed on my arm. I knew immediately that I needed a memorial tattoo. With Rob's 79th birthday approaching--my first without him since he turned 30--I was dreading it. Yet somehow, I knew I needed to receive the tattoo on that day. In my dream, Rob's name was written in English, but I wanted his name and my message to remain private--cryptic. Our son suggested Sanskrit for the text because Rob felt honored and privileged to spend several years in Mumbai teaching the Method to drama and film students in Bollywood. Sanskrit! An ancient language of India, considered one of the oldest languages in the world. Perfect! Then I found artist Joon Thomas, an expert in calligraphy from around the world. Using Devanagari script for the Sanskrit, he translated, designed, and penned two tattoos for me--one featuring Rob's name and the other bearing a message. I was overcome with joy when I first saw Joon's exquisite calligraphy! But then came the challenge of finding the perfect tattoo artist to bring it to life. With so many talented artists in Los Angeles, I turned to AI for help finding someone with experience working with non-Latin scripts. It led me to Cacho, whose fine-line precision matched what I was looking for above all else. And then--kismet. Cacho had an opening on Rob's birthday! The moment Cacho welcomed me into his studio, my pre-tattoo anxiety dissolved. I was immediately struck by his warmth and by the genuine appreciation he had for Joon's calligraphy. Collaboration is clearly a priority for Cacho, and his patience is astounding. I asked him repeatedly to adjust the sizes and reposition the images until everything felt exactly right, and he never once made me feel rushed. Having Cacho tattoo my Sanskrit text was a spiritual experience. I was entranced by his steady hand as he brought my words to life on my inner forearms. He captured every nuance of the calligraphy with extraordinarily delicate, precise strokes. I floated out of Cacho's studio. I am mesmerized by these delicate works of art on my arms--timeless expressions of my heart and proclamations of my eternal love for my soulmate. Cacho took something deeply personal and translated it into art that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. He inked it flawlessly, delicately, and indelibly. I could not have entrusted Rob's memory to a more gifted and sensitive artist.

Really talented artist and very communicative. Can't wait to go back next week for my other piece.read more
