My 17 YO son got his ears pierced with Fate. I had previously taken my daughter to get her nose pierced by Fate. He was patient, kind, and informative. I highly recommend Fate for any piercing needs. He's awesome! read more

Stopped in here the other day to bring my brother for a quick ear piercing. The guy that helped us out was very knowledgeable and helpful, very friendly as well. Honestly amazing service. The shop itself was clean and they even had an adorable shop bird! Lots of cool decor as well. We were able to come in on a Friday for a walk in around 5:30 with no problem and no wait. They are cash only!!!! The parking lot itself is a bit crammed and it's located on a busy street. read more

Went here on a whim for a belly button piercing because I always wanted one, and I am glad that they took walk-ins here! very quickly done and good client education on how to take care of your piercing as well as contraindications. very well-researched staff here that knew how to keep conversation flowing. I was really impressed by the service done by my specific piercer. Came here again to watch my friend get pierced on her nose because she always dreamt of one. I was impressed until I saw the way that they handled her hypoglycemic shock. She quite literally almost passed out. The only way that she was able to withstand was because I was there to physically tend to her as a healthcare worker. All the staff did was give us a coke, which helped, yes, but they just redirected us on the side to handle it on our own. No check-ups done until we were both able to finally stand up. What? My friend was able to go through the piercing, so yay! I want to rate this place higher because of my experience, but after hers, I cannot :/ Make sure to bring cash when you go here! read more

Had kyle work on my arm for about 4 hours and he absolutely slayed it. His work is extremely precise and he really takes his time to create wonderful quality tattoos. We had great convos and he was super attentive to how eventually my neck would get cranked up and gave me breaks lol. The vibe in the shop is awesome. You feel comfy and safe. They play movies and play good music! Highly recommend going to Spicy Kyle! read more

Everything about the experience today at One Truth Tattoo was wonderful. My sister and I wanted to get a piercing together and called in today and were told we could come in as walk-ins, which was great because we were worried we would need an appointment. We were greeted with smiles, as we filled out the paperwork the tattoo artist who was on break was also super friendly! The whole vibe made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We had FATE as our piercer and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very welcoming! In addition, the price for the piercing and jewelry was very reasonable! It was my sisters first piercing and FATE helped her feel comfortable and she loved the whole experience. We will definitely come back and support this business! read more

I called to see if they were taking walk-ins on a Friday night around 7ish. Over the phone very polite and quick to answer. Upon arrival they greeted me and I had let them know I wanted a traditional spider web tattoo around my already existing spider. They said they would assign me an artists for the tattoo and I was paired with Gordo or Gordon. He was was quick with the stencil and making me feel welcome. Super Nice down to Earth guy. The shop was clean and had a nice vibe and selection of artists. I do recommend this shop for anyone looking to get a tattoo. Will definitely be back! read more

I cannot say enough about Darlene. Professionalism and cleanliness are priorities and she is definitely top tier. Now let's talk about her work. Beautiful lines, her use of color is brilliant, I get compliments daily. I am so happy with her tattoos, I have even had her fix some other tattoos I have that were sub par and she brought them to life!! Go see her and you will not be disappointed! read more

One Truth Tattoo - Chest tattoo by Darlene!! - Piercing Near Me - Northridge, California

Christina down there must not have communicated what she actually wanted to Darlene. I have been going to Darlene (and following her from studio to studio) over the last 13 years. She always delivers and the healing process of her work is never a problem. I just got a new piece last night from her and it is my favorite of all the other 14 she's done! :D Sometimes we just don't pick the right artist for the style we want. Not a reason to give 1 star-- maybe know how to communicate better and shop around. Also, it's a lie about not letting you check. She is excellent at placing tattoos but ALWAYS asks you to check in the mirror. Christina's review sounds more like regret than Darlene's "Bad work". Notice no pic was added lol Love Darlene AND peewee the bird lol :) read more

Went and had my lip pierced 2 days ago one thing I notice was cross contamination with the piercing artist. After he pierced my lip he kept the same gloves on touching clean lip rings for sale. I am a Registered Nurse and I witness an infection control issue. I also felt they were racist and treated me differently. This place is not for people of color and I am a black woman. read more

One Truth Tattoo is such a calm and welcoming place. Each artist is respectful, kind, and professional towards anyone that walks into the shop. Darlene in particular is the only reason I have as many tattoos as I do. She skillfully creates any idea or concept into a reality. I'm continuously impressed by her ability to make my ideas better than I even anticipated. You can tell she commits whole heartedly to every piece she designs. Whether you find an image online, or ask her to create something unique, she'll take care of it. Her style and technique is essentially whatever your tattoo needs it to be. She can do it all. During appointments she takes ample time to ensure the design is exactly what you want and is flawlessly placed before starting. Darlene makes it a point to ensure you feel comfortable and confident with the tattoo. She's light handed and does insane fine line work. I have always been more than happy with each and every piece I've received from Darlene. I recommend her to anyone interested in getting their first or fiftieth tattoo. read more

I've always felt comfortable, listened to, and that my art is cared about. She is passionate and takes great pride in her work! I would highly recommend Darlene to anyone looking for a great artist to trust with their ink! She did my first one years ago and I've gone to her ever since! read more

Always a five-star experience. Every artist here is a master of their craft. This is the only place I go for tattoos in the SFV because the shop is the cleanest, and every artist takes their time to make sure your tattoo comes out exactly as you want it. Each artist brings their own talent, so make sure you look through the books in front to find what style of art you are looking for. Matt has done the majority of my work, but recently, I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Gordo, and I was not disappointed! My husband has work from Matt, Gordo, and Kyle. Every tattoo has been just what the doctor ordered. While getting tattooed, you'll also be able to check out all the cool artwork on the walls. I see something new every time I come in. They have amazing tattooists, amazing piercers, a fun, friendly, SAFE, CLEAN, relaxed but professional environment, which is all equally as important as the tattoo itself. Oh, and they accept walk ins! Go here!! read more

Great tattoo shop great people Darlene has been my artist for over 12years she's super nice , talented, and super knowledgeable .

My daughter and I had a great experience here! The shop is clean, the artists were attentive and easygoing. Matthew tattooed roses along my collarbone and Kyle gave my daughter her very first tattoo. It's been a lonnngggg time since I've gotten a tattoo and I was pleasantly surprised of how painless the process was. I love the final result and already contemplating getting another tattoo. There's lots of tattoo shops in the valley and I can't say how they are, but I can tell you that One Truth Tattoo definitely deserves the high ratings it has on Yelp. read more

First and foremost, everyone here at One Truth is absolutely amazing! The service is above and beyond. Never have I met a more welcoming group of artists! Darlene is the utmost sweetest and always delivers on what I'm going for. She gets my gibberish roundabout way of explaining what I want. I've left the shop squealing with pure excitement for some of the art she's done. Communicating to her what I want with references and she's got it done. The creativity this woman has is beyond words! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Darlene did an amazing job on my tattoo. There was a lot of fine line work, and it came out amazing. I didn't lose any of the detail in healing either!

One Truth Tattoo is my go to place. I've been seeing Darlene since I was old enough to get my first tattoo and I can't imagine getting ink by anyone else. She has done every tattoo on my arm and created one cohesive arm piece that I'm so in love with. She has put in time helping me design and create exactly what I envisioned. I'm always getting compliments on her work and I'm so happy and proud to show it off to others. Darlene is not only incredibly talented but after years of going to her I can vouch for the quality of her work and her dedication to her craft. Communication with her is easy via email. I would have general ideas and send her inspo pics so she can have an idea of what I what I want. She drafts and pre sends what your design will look like prior to your appointment so any concerns you have or changes you want can be made in advanced. On the day of you get to work with her on sizing and placement. I've never had any issues at this shop and Id highly recommend them to anyone and a huge thanks to Darlene for being amazing! Can't wait for my next appointment. Attached images are all fresh ink done by Darlene +1 bonus pic of my tattoos healed. read more

For over seven years, and three shops later, I have entrusted Darlene with all of my ink. From the very first tattoo, to my latest addition, Darlene has consistently surpassed my expectations, elevating my tattoo journey to new heights. Not only does Darlene adapt to the different styles and ideas brought to her, but her passion and care for the art of tattooing is evident. Every design, whether large or small, is approached with the same level of creativity and dedication, resulting in tattoos that are not only ink on the skin, but reflections of my personality and experiences. Darlene creates an open and welcoming atmosphere from the friendly smile on her face, to her willingness to listen to ensure that every session is not just about getting a tattoo, but about forging a connection and walking away with a piece that you are proud of. Whether you're a first-time tattoo enthusiast or a seasoned collector like myself, I wholeheartedly recommend Darlene. read more

Just came back from the shop, and Matthew did an amazing job! Called in around 3pm to see if they had any open availability for a walk-in tattoo. They got back to me quickly for an opening at 5pm. I previously edited and emailed an illustration of orchids with orange details. Matthew was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process. He made sure the placement of the piece was exactly where I wanted it and helped me choose the right mix of colors. I appreciate the small tricks and details he explained to make parts of the flower stick out. He was very accommodating to my comfort, and we had great conversations throughout the process. I've had a couple tattoos done previously, but this was by far my favorite experience. Lastly, I love how perfect the piece came out! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! read more

Ok. We can Not recommend this shop enough. The family came down to Northridge for our grandfathers memorial service and decided that day to get some memorial tattoos. We called around to several different shops and they were the only ones who would get us in. Walked in with 6 of us and they were already set up. Took our idea and ran with it and gave us 6 size options and whatever colors we wanted. Two of them got all 6 of us done in two hours and it was THE BEST experience. Gordo and Darlene were so so welcoming and even touched up some other tattoos at the same time. The vibes in the shop were so great and you can tell everyone there loves what they do. Will definitely back the next time we are in town. read more

Easily my favorite shop in the valley. All of the artists are vert talented and have a wide range of styles under their belts that they excel at while also have specialty styles that they are known for. My go-to is Gordo. He's a lot of fun and will make you feel super comfortable while getting your tattoo. I have been working on almost a full sleeve with him for the last few years and he's done a few coverups for me as well. As for piercing, Ryan is fantastic and fast and efficient and will make you feel like you're making great choices and he is charming as hell. Overall, 10 out of 10, would recommend. read more

PLEASE COME TO THIS TATTOO SHOP! I found this shop on Yelp and went in for a small tattoo. The place could be more welcoming, but it's not like the artist are rude.
