Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her. Everything went so smoothly and it was mostly painless - only a pinch in the process but no discomfort after the jewelry was already in. My friends and I left with super cute nostril piercings! Highly recommend this studio. Very grateful and happy with the experience here.

I was going to leave my review as is but i will not be called a liar about my experience then…read morepressured to delete my review entirely. "Regarding your wait time, management confirmed it was significantly shorter than stated" - attached are photos at 6:20pm on 4/11/26 aka the time i went in & upon arrival i asked to use the restroom, i took a selfie amongst other pics & the date & time can be found on each one. When leaving, i was asked for my information & to enroll in ur $5 off coupon which was at 8:16pm on 4/11/26. almost exactly two hours, not sure which manager looked into that but i did not randomly chose that number. Consultation - Tabitha asked via phone if i was given the option or made aware of threadless vs threaded jewelry, i was not nor was I given the option between the two. (Im assuming since you guys only carry threadless anyways.) Lacy said the piercings could get expensive when downsizing multiple sizes & when custom jewelry becomes a thing (she gave me an example of hers that have a wide flat back) which i understood. I was never told the jewelry on hand would be so flimsy or else i would have left with a spare set. or why wouldnt that be offered if its a known thing that theyre just going to break soon after? "our management team has reached out multiple times" - Tabitha called me on 4/20/26 at 2:03pm post yelp review & asking me to elaborate which i did. she apologized & said she would investigate & immediately followed up asking if i could "take down the yelp review" I initially agreed but im so glad i didnt. All that was asked of me was to pick a date & time & she will have someone replace the jewelry that broke at the el monte location but she would have to call me back & let me know if there was someone at that location who COULD do it & that she would call back. when she called back at 2:38pm 4/20/26 she stated ordering a threaded set would take 6-8 weeks & that she will order my downsize. we agreed on that solution & hungup. Then 4/28/26 Tabitha texts me & there was no solution so we could agree on so thanked her & left it at that (screenshots attached as well) "waived fees" - crazy cause you guys swear this is something special. when i get my nails done & one breaks theyre quick to fix it FOR FREE & not keep reminding me that breakage could happen nor badgering me that IM at fault for it/knew the risks. Theres no fee to waive if i want to put the jewelry in my own face for free which you guys denied me of because u didnt want to mail them to me. "we offered appointments at our other locations with free parking lots" - text attached of Tabithas convo but she definitely stated STREET parking, exactly how the LA location is so.. not sure where the "Convenience & Options" were. sorry it came to this Leo, maybe ask both sides next time instead of just listening to one.

I had to wait a year to get my appointment because of how talented Bryan Ramirez is. I walked in, very hyped up, with a tiny 3x4 old ID picture of my father. Bryan treated the image on his computer, expanded it, and kept in touch throughout the process. After a few visits, he carefully listened to my project vision, embraced it, and, most importantly, provided real feedback about size, positioning, and expectations. I have a few other tattoos from multiple artists, and I can confidently say the level of service and quality here is top notch. The previous artists weren't even close to this level of skill. The day I showed up for my session, I felt heard and taken care of. Bryan paused whenever I communicated that I needed a break, and the project was finished in a few hours. His attention to detail is incomparable. If you're searching for an experienced, skilled, detail-oriented tattoo artist, look no further. Contact Reservoir Tattoo Studio and speak with Bryan Ramirez, though I'm sure any artist linked to this studio is just as talented and professional. Can't wait to return for a future session.

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece. Maybe this tattoo thing is an addiction and will keep you coming back for more.

Amazing experience! After an 8 year search to find the right artist to do my sleeve, Speakeasy, particularly Scott Glazier, won me over. Not only was Scott polite, kind and professional, his talent spoke for itself. From the virtual consultation to my very last session, which was heartbreaking that it was over, was an outstanding experience. Scott was attentive, focused and compassionate to my needs right down to playing the music that I liked. He took great care to ensure we worked collaboratively to design and place the tattoo to my specifications. He also made sure I was okay during each and every session, and he never did anything I couldn't handle (pain wise). For the overall experience (professionalism, kindness, caring, talent, positive environment, etc), it was worth every penny! I am looking forward to working with Scott again in the future to complete a sleeve on my other arm. Thank you Scott and Speakeasy for a wonderful experience! read more

this is how i see it. you dont want to be marked for life by just anyone that can draw well. you need a genuine artist who lives to create masterpieces, and who actually lives an artists life. where its not just a session but an experience. My experience was nothing less than a tattoo gathering. where friends came to support me and view the live confident artistry by scott glazier, followed by a toast of champagne at the end. im ever satisfied and look forward to the next stage of tattoos and life. speakeasy. you're either in or out... if you're out.... then GET THE HELL OUT!! Im sorry for yelling. sometimes i get excited when i am very passionate about a business. this is one you'll have to bookmark in your tattoo pages. Affirmative Recommendation. Solid work from a real artist. Get'em! read more

Before Speakeasy was around, I got my first tattoo - it was a dinky little thing on my wrist and hurt like gangbusters. Made me wary of ever doing it again. When I decided I really was brave enough to get another (17 years later), I approached Scott. My second tattoo was going to be a line of script around my wrist. He took his time to get the placement just right so that the final would be perfect and his needle was so gentle, I had to keep looking down to make sure he was actually doing it! The experience was so great that I immediately set about working on a sleeve with him. His patience and ability to understand what you want and his natural skills as an artist are a boon to anyone thinking about committing something to their bodies for forever! I highly recommend Speakeasy and Scott Glazier! read more

I have a few tattoos. Therefore it is safe to assume that I have been in a few tattoo parlors... That being said, one thing that makes Scott and Speakeasy tattoos stand out from the rest is that this is not a tattoo parlor. He does not slap regrettable flash ink on drunk tourists. When you walk into Speakeasy, you immediately realize that you are dealing with a true artist, deeply immersed in art. This is someone who obviously takes art seriously and personalty. And as a result, I think, every piece is at least as unique and meaningful to Scott as it is to the client. I would recommend Scott to any of my friends, and I am very excited to sit and finish my sleeve with Scott. My advice to all is simply this: don't settle for less! read more

I had an existing tattoo of a hibiscus flower on my lower back that I got when I was 17. I am happy to say that it no longer looks like a big mistake, but yet a real piece of art! This was by far my most amazing tattoo experience I've ever had. Scott Glazier is not only an impeccable artist, but a very sincere person. His work speaks for itself. I am more than happy with my new and improved tattoo. He has a professional attitude toward his work, that a lot of tattoo artists, or artists in general, seem to lack. Thank you to Scott for making my tattoo cover up experience a great one. read more

I am currently working with Scott Glazier at Speakeasy Tattoo. I have worked with other tattoo artists in the past and let me say, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with Scott. He looks at the skin as a living canvas, that is what is so amazing about him. I first told him about the vision for my tattoo, he instantly connected with it and took it to a level beyond what my mind could have ever imagined. I highly recommend Scott if you are serious about getting a one of a kind piece of artwork on your body and not a run-of-the-mill tattoo. Thanks Scott! read more
