It had been a while. I love tattoos but my last piece - which was huge - I got for such an amazing price that I just couldn't bring myself to get spendy unless I really fell in love. And fall in love I did. I have so many quirky interests, I didn't know what to get. All I knew for sure is that I wanted to cover my first small symbol on my ankle with a snake. I just never saw any snakes I liked as they often are more "tough" looking than elegantly dangerous like I wanted. When a friend just got a half sleeve and told me about her artist, Danielle Skye. I starting following her IG page and it took all of fifteen minutes of perusing to find a gorgeous snake that was as beautiful as it was dangerous and super feminine without being girly (does that make sense). This snake was sensual. And I knew my 8 year break from getting inked was about to end - and quickly. The homie let me know the general price range, so I make sure I had enough saved and reached out to Danielle. Her assistant Levi talked me through the process and we agreed on a date, I made a deposit, and within a few weeks I was on Danielles table. She hand draws the art directly on the skin, so I was able to make changes and adjustments, and then punched that ink in so gently and so quickly that I honestly can't believe it only took a few hours. To say I am happy with Danielle's work is an understatement. She is worth every penny plus and her skills both artistically and in application are top notch.

My first tattoo from Rigel (Tattoomancer)
Minghye Y.

Rigel (Tattoomancer) was awesome. She did my first tattoo and it came out amazing. I'll be coming back to get more tattoos from her soon. The studio is clean and good vibes. Definitely recommend getting your tattoo with Rigel.

one day I came across "tatt.chi" or Sam on Instagram. His personal style is what initially caught my attention and I have grown to love as I get more tattoos from him. Sam, himself, is a very friendly guy and just comes across as an older brother that you've never had. His artistic ideas and creativity is something that is admired. From Apprentice to Full-Fledged Artist! the shop itself has its own unique atmosphere. the walls decorated with so much culture and so many lovable personalities in the shop, it gives a sense of community.

A very clean, fun, and friendly tattoo shop! Audrey is amazing! I had this vision of a tattoo and she was so patient and thoughtful! She was honest if something didn't look right or wouldn't be able to come out nicely. She spent the time making adjustments! She did an amazing job! I loveeeee my tattoo! Thank you Audrey

Levi is the besty best! I have two tattoos by her and they are my favorite. This girl heals hearts with her art. I will update with my tattoos after the newest one heals! Thanks, Levi! Love ya girlie! Also if you're disabled, this place is extremely accommodating!! I had 0 pain and I have a severe bone disease. Every other place I've been tattooed at I was in agony within the first flour. Levi made sure I was comfortable the entire time.

Tattoo by JuliaTattulia
Natalie U.

I've been getting tattooed by Julia since she was an apprentice. My most recent tattoo was a floral 7.5hr piece :) Freehand Lilies and Cherry Blossoms The bathroom and overall place is clean :) If it's your first time getting a tattoo make sure to bring snacks and easy to remove clothing depending where the tattoo is going to be placed. I brought a cropped hoodie so I could have one arm out for tattooing and the other half of my body would be warm.

Alexie L.

Absolutely amazing of a place. I was trying to find a place that would take me as a walk in and oni was super excited to work with me and grabbed me an artist within minutes! Miguel was my artist and he did an amazing job. It was my first tattoo but he was helpful explaining the aftercare to me and did such a great job! I was there only hour so it's fast and still does an amazing job. Yes they are a little pricy but you definitely get what you pay for!

Dragon and snakes by @dlamtattoo Kanji in the center by @derektatty
Linda C.

Would 100% recommend booking your next tattoo appointment here! The tattoo artists that work here are incredibly talented and have amazing attention to detail. I've gotten pieces done here by two artists-- @derektatty and @dlamtattoo on Instagram. It's a well kept shop with great vibes (clean, nice decor, nice people). It makes you really feel at home and comfortable, which is important since you're going to be there for a few hours getting your piece done. Each artist there has their own method of booking so I do recommend checking out each artists' Instagram page as their bookings do fill up fast. I had to wait a few months for my appointments but they were well worth!

flash tattoo
Mikayla H.

I came here about 2 years ago for a Friday the 13th flash tattoo event. While the wait time was extremely long (12+ hours), staff were all very professional and had an efficient system to ensure everyone who waited got the opportunity to get tattooed. Though I can't speak to what the flash events have been like as of late, the procedure at the time was that clients were randomly assigned to an artist regardless of what flash tattoo they chose. I was tattooed by Danny (shop owner) and he was very sweet. This was my first tattoo and he made the experience very pleasant- minimal to no pain. The inside of the shop was spacious and clean, and everyone was super welcoming. Artists also gave aftercare instructions and were happy to answer any questions. My tattoo has since healed fairly well with an average amount of care. Definitely would recommend Oni for anyone looking for a welcoming tattoo spot in the SGV!

Qilin/Kirin by Dan!
Michelle P.

I worked with Dan and had a great experience! Dan knows what he's doing and executed exactly what I wanted. I gave him a few references of the qilin/kirin and the placement. He showed me the sketch once I arrived and fell in love! He also helped me out with the size and placement on my back since I wasn't sure of the location. I felt very relaxed at the studio, minus when the white ink went in lol. Everyone at oni was friendly and nice. I definitely recommend this studio!

Sonny Angel tattoo done by Hector
Monica W.

Was in LA and spontaneously got that itch to get another tattoo. One of my friends is a LA local and recommended Oni Tattoos! Saw their Instagram page and their work was badass. Their IG page says they welcome walk-ins , but I filled out their appointment form online just in case. Within a half hour Hector reached out to me about what type of tattoo I was looking for. I provided the ref., size, and colors I wanted for the tattoo. He gave me a reasonable price and an appointment time for the following month. I explained to him that I was only in LA for two days and he was SO kind enough to squeeze me in the NEXT day!!! Hector was super down to earth during our session, very easy to talk to and had my tattoo come out exactly how I wanted! Thanks for making my experience an awesome one Hector!!!

I wanted a tiger paired with specific florals (forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and narcissus paperwhites) all kept above the elbow. Angie brought my vision to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. The process at Baron Art was seamless. After submitting a consultation form, I heard back within 1-2 days and coordinated everything with Cat (Angie's assistant) via email. Cat was wonderful, detailed, and quick to reply. On the day of my appointment, I received digital aftercare instructions after I checked in. Before starting, Angie was incredibly patient. She adjusted the tiger's scale on her iPad to match my arm and printed several stencils to ensure the size and placement was just right. She then freehanded the florals, precisely incorporating the negative space I requested to keep the design from feeling too heavy. Angie is incredibly talented and has a light touch. Even the pain in the inner bicep area was manageable. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session, and the result was perfect. This piece means so much to me and is very close to my heart, as it's a memorial for my mom who passed away recently. The forget-me-nots were her favorite flowers, and the narcissus paperwhites and honeysuckle are our birth flowers. The tiger was the first stuffed animal that my parents bought for me when we first immigrated to the US. It was my "guardian" throughout my childhood. Angie, thank you very much for your kindness and for creating such a meaningful, beautiful piece. This was the first of two sessions, and I already love it so much--I can't wait to see how it turns out! Some notes: - Snacks: I brought along Gatorade and was sipping on it before and during my session. I ate some candy and had a protein bar during the breaks too. It helped so much to keep my blood sugar up. - Vibe: So relaxing! The studio was spacious, and they were playing a throwback playlist from like the 2010s lol. I was vibing out and didn't even use the earbuds I brought! Everyone was so friendly too! Throughout the session, I noticed a couple artists stopped by to admire Angie's work as she was doing the tiger :) - Parking: parking in this location wasn't actually too bad. There's a structure about a 5 min walk away from the studio down the street. Just turn right into the little street where the Arrow Lodge Brewing is at. Go in a little bit, and it's on the left hand side. If you reach S Santa Fe Ave, you've gone too far!

We paid 100 dollars each just for hers to come out faded which doesn't seem like 100 dollars worth of work in our opinion. Everyone was pretty close together not much privacy and it seemed like she didn't really know how to do the placement. While doing mine she nearly did the same thing if I didn't speak up about it. With my second cousin her line work was fine but it just came out all slanted, and they kept saying not to pull her lip as much but if she didn't it would've ended up on the edge just like the "$$$" one.

Normally shops schedule a follow up appointment to downsize the bar but I had to find this out through my own research after. I also had to purchase my own saline solution. The actual piercing process was not bad, just the language barrier was difficult to navigate:( and i was not given adequate instruction or information. i'm sure the artists are great at tattoos, just would not come here for piercings.

I finally went ahead and booked a virtual consultation (being in San Diego). From the very beginning of the process, submitting the request to book, through the consultation itself, and coming in to get the tattoo, I had the most amazing experience. I felt comfortable that I was in the hands of the best team at this shop. Rob was super responsive with scheduling and questions. June created a beautiful design based on my references and feedback and added little touches that made it even better. When I showed up to my appointment, I was a little anxious, but it was such a cozy, beautiful studio and I felt welcomed and at ease by Rob and June. June took such great care to cover up the scars I wanted covered and make it look beautiful and flow well with the natural curves of my leg, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. After she finished her work, she brought out the professional camera to get the best pictures possible and promptly sent them to me the same night. You can tell she takes pride in her work (as she should!) I will absolutely be back for more tattoos in the future, and maybe add more to my leg sleeve. It was definitely worth the drive from San Diego to work with the right artist who made my vision come true!
