    Love my new tongue piercing!
    Nana L.

    I got my tongue pierced FOR THE FIRST while the piercer was in (best to call the shop before walking in!) and I gotta say the process was amazingly smooth.

    Very pleasant experience with Nana!! ^_^ Got my 2nd piercing ever a nose stud and Nana was very sweet and informative about the process!! I recommend

    I had an amazing experience! Ms Nana is so fun she made me feel so comfortable and she is hilarious...all my piercings will be done by her from now on! She sings she dances and she just an all around hoot

    double helix!

    absolutely GOATED piercer here! went to so cal ink to attend their friday the 13th deal, $31 piercings and $50+ tatts! the wait was extreme for piercings but went quicker for tatts! but IT WAS WORTH it, seriously.. asked for double helixes, "Nana" is the piercer and she was amazing! immaculate vibes, humorous woman and so quick with piercings! i felt so comfortable with her, so much so that i'm definitely making this place my to-go now!

    Came back for another tattoo with Sevada and I'm so happy I did! He makes you feel so safe and comfortable. He really takes his time with it and makes sure you love the result and won't let you leave until you're 100% happy. Couldn't recommend this place enough

    I can't recommend So Cal Ink enough! From the moment I walked in I was impressed by how clean and welcoming the shop was. Sev is incredibly talented and did an amazing memorial piece for my cat. He takes great pride in his work and it is more beautiful than i could have ever imagined! Every detail was perfect. If you are looking for a talented artist that takes great pride in their work, Sev is your guy!!

I received a cover up tattoo from him yesterday and the session was one of the best I've received. I first found the shop because I'm a local and prefer to support local business. JJ was the one who picked up the phone and from there on out he was professional, patient, and a pleasure to work with. He listened to every concern and was able to make adjustments on the spot to make sure the tattoo met my needs. He also made some small suggestions to give my tattoo more movement. And with the attention to detail, you can tell he really cares about his craft. Communication was easy and appropriate. We had fun, casual exchanges, but I felt able to tune into myself when I needed to meditate. He had a calm, but friendly vibe all throughout. I'm grateful I found such a good artist in my neighborhood! One day after, the tattoo looks and feels like it's healing well. I will update this with photos when the tattoo is healed.

I still will not raise my review higher though because it's truly alarming that a place can hire someone to shove needles through someone's face and let them slide doing a bad job. After downsizing and healing the placement, hole size, and angle is still wack and the bars still rub directly against my teeth. Every other piercer who has looked at my mouth has said "yikes". My previous review is below.

I came in with an irritation bump on my forward helix (my own fault for trying to take it out myself) and he helped me remove it for an MRI I have coming up. I've been here before as well and he's always been so extremely kind and caring. It's so hard to find someone that is genuinely knowledgeable about piercings and truly cares about the customer, so I'm beyond lucky to have met Allen. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend!

I came into the shop as a Hail Mary just to see if they carried something that would fit the studs I already owned. Not only was Allen able to help me and replace the flat backs on my existing jewelry, he also informed me that my naval piercing that fell out months ago wasn't closed. Instead of having to re-pierce Allen advised me all I needed to do was buy or bring in jewelry and he'd insert it for me. I love the honesty and how helpful Allen was! His advice saved me some coin and I'm so grateful this isn't a money grabbing establishment. This is my now my go-to spot!

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!

When I was there, I personally did not see any visible sanitizing process. I saw the piercer remove the jewelry directly from the bag, and from my viewpoint, it did not appear that it was rinsed or sanitized in any way before being used If the business is certain that their sanitizing procedures were followed and are confident that the cameras would show this during both my friends & my jewelry change, we request that they share the footage with us. If the video clearly demonstrates that we are more than happy to take down or update our reviews.

I was greeted by the nice lady in the front who helped us pick a nose ring. My review is mainly for the piercer, when I sat in the chair, he didn't greet me and I saw him grab the jewelry and rinse it under the faucet for 2 seconds. He never washed his hands and he put gloves on dirty hands. He then proceeded to remove my current jewelry, and never swabbed my piercing hole with anything. He just began placing the new ring which I never saw him sanitize. Through out the whole process not once was anything sanitized. He also seemed off like he was a drug user. My friend had the same experience and also co firmed she never saw him sanitize anything when he was servicing me. NEVER AGAIN, I regret coming here. I hope I don't get infected.
