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

Two nose piercings
Lece B.

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!
Lenz C.

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!

Paulina P.

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!!

This review is specific to the artist JJ Moore from someone who has gotten many tattoos for 16…read moreyears. 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.

Hi there ! Here to support my friend Jazmins review . I had a similar experience the same day when…read morehaving my piercing swapped out. 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. Lastly as of today my friend has a small bump on her nose at the site of the piercing which is why we felt it was impotent to speak up about our experience.

UNSANITARY!!! I went…read moretoday with my friend to have our nose jewelry swapped. It was my first time at this piercing shop since I live close by. 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.

I absolutely loved not only the art she created for me, but her amazing personality. Rebecca is a great listener, and brings a calm vibe to what could have been a stressful experience. She has done 6 pieces for me that I adore. I get complimented on them very frequently. Her unique style and light hand translate so well on skin. I have referred 3 clients to her who have also had a fantastic experience. I'm planning on returning for two more pieces this year. I cannot recommend her enough.

Rebecca is truly a gifted tattoo artist. I have two completed pieces from her and they are both…read moreabsolutely beautiful. However, my relationship with her as a customer ended quite abruptly. My first tattoo from her was a beautiful little flower with puppy paws behind one ear. The second was a gorgeous fairy on my back right shoulder. There was a very small detail in that tattoo that didn't quite fit my vision. There was a conversation with her about it at the time, and when I made my appointment with her to have my third tattoo, she said she would look at it. I had told her that it needed very little tweaking, it was mostly a perspective issue, my eye just wasn't quite seeing it the same way hers did. When I came in for my third tattoo, she showed me what she had come up with, and the kind of flowers were perfect, but I asked for more of them, a bigger cluster of flowers, not just two flowers. She seemed to get agitated when I made that request, even rolled her eyes at me. When I mentioned the small tweak to amend the fairy tattoo on my shoulder, her demeanor immediately became very hostile, rude and angry. She told me that I am the most controlling customer she has ever met, complaining that I have "all these opinions." I apologized more than once, told her I was very sorry if I offended her and said that that was not my intention. I never told her that she effed up the tattoo, never said that she made a mistake or that she had done anything wrong. I had very clearly said "it's a perspective thing" because I did not want to offend her. I was very careful in my speaking. None of my responses really mattered, her face was contorted with rage, and I was mostly stunned. When she kept criticizing my opinions, the only thing I said was "well it's going to be on my body for the rest of my life." She acknowledged that and said that she's an artist and that she is very sensitive. I personally believe that anyone getting a tattoo SHOULD have opinions and should feel free to express them to the tattoo artist. I've been a hairdresser for 40 years. I have extensive conversations with new clients to determine what they want and don't want, but over the years, of course, there have been times when somebody called me a few days later and said something wasn't quite right. I would have them come in as soon as possible and make whatever adjustments were necessary, without any attitude or rudeness. That's kind of how it is in a service based business. I'm not a robot, and neither is Rebecca. There are times when your vision may not quite match the customers. And it shouldn't cause this kind of huge upset. As a professional, I would just listen to the customer and do whatever I could to make them happy. She told me that she would make the little tweak on my shoulder tattoo, but she wasn't willing to ever work on me again. She made the little tweak, it probably took five minutes and it's perfect. All that drama over such a little thing. So much upset, I'm sure it ruined her day and I hope that after some reflection, she realized that her reaction was a bit out of proportion. Not to mention completely unprofessional. It was not at all the peaceful and relaxing environment that her website promises. It was not the safe space that her website promises. I also did not receive the exceptional customer service that her website promises. Nonetheless, for the beauty of her work, I would have to give her a solid five stars because she truly is talented. Her flowers and butterflies are exquisite. For her professionalism, I would give her a solid one star. Her ego and mood rules the day. Her specialty seems to be very delicate flowers, which is ironic, because I also found her to be a very delicate flower.
