    Loved my experience here! Excellent vibes, everyone was friendly, and you just feel at ease here. I look forward to next time!

    This is Jesse, aka Gems.

    What a great experience!! I highly recommend Jesse to do your piercing. I had my nose pierced and my high school student, from my homeroom, had her belly button pierced. Jesse explained everything thoroughly about the after care and what to expect for the next 4-6 weeks. I cannot submerge myself in a pool. We will clean our piercings 3x a day, etc. After 4=6 weeks, I can change my piercing and get one that has a back so I do not lose it. My homeroom student, and her Mom, told me that this place is the best and it is worth the extra $ to have piercings done here. I agree. The vibe is laid back. I liked the tattoos that 2 people got. Very nice & colorful. I strongly recommend that you make an appointment and bring cash. i also strongly recommend that you ask for Jesse. She is also known as Gems.

    I've gotten 3 tattoos from Elijah here and have had nothing short of a great experience. Everyone here is super friendly and they are all very talented. I would definitely recommend getting a tattoo at The Ink House.!

    I got my nostril pierced by their new piercing artist Nikki! She made the entire process so easy and relaxing for me! She verbally stated every step she took as she took them so there were no unexpected moments! She was very sweet and friendly and comforting which really helped me so much considering I haven't had any facial piercing done in over 10 years. 10/10 service and I will absolutely be a returning client (:

    Joe's work
    casie k.

    Randomly stumbled into this shop and i'm so thankful I did! Joe & Irvin are the two artists I went to and every time I was so pleased with their attention to detail. Joe did a fine line, detailed portrait & Irvin did my fern leaf and dads signature. With a variety of different wants and styles, they really worked with me (even on a short notice!) and left me satisfied. Also want to add that as a female, it's really nice to trust a shop and crew that are respectful and genuine.

    Yin Yang dragon with flowers partial (stage 1) sleeve

    Angel happened to pick up a shift today, and was available for walk-ins. My sister and I wanted a yin yang tattoo. He helped us clarify what we wanted it to look like including small details and science! We were thrilled with his guidance and expertise. He knew he was talking about, and we trusted him immediately. I cannot express how highly I recommend his work. He is a true artist! He even drew part of my tattoo freehand, which is QUITE impressive!

    Hummingbird tattoo
    Ana Lucia N.

    Had my first tattoo today of a hummingbird (red and yellow neck and green tail! The details are so apparent- I was floored ! So glad I found Joe. I had walked in on a Friday just to inquire and make an appointment. He was available to see me today which made my day ! I can't find a good enough word to describe his talent and skill. It's clear to me he loves what he does and it shows. He is an exceptional artist! Pleasant, professional, intelligent (enjoyed our conversations about the pyramids, mathematics, The Golden Ratio and more). For my first tattoo, no pain! The art is elegant and perfect ! I'm just so happy that I now want to get 2 more !

    Thank you thank you to Gem!! She pierced my six year olds ears. One took it like a champ. The other not so much. She was so patient and kind. We finally got it done. She also pierced my teens lip. Perfect placement. 10/10 recommend Gem for all piercings. All ages.

    Fresh septum piercing
    Alan A.

    I have always wanted to get my septum pierced, but I've also been too terrified to do so. Everyone I've met and everyone all over the internet always say that the septum is the most painful piercing that you can get. I've spent years believing this. One day I finally managed to find the courage to get it done. I was recommended to The Ink House because the staff is very friendly and professional. Shelley (the piercer) immediately noticed how nervous and shaky I was. I told her about the potential septum pain, and she taught me that it was a misconception, and assured me that I was in good hands. The entire process (piercing + jewelry application) took no more than 2-3 minutes, Shelley was very informative about the aftercare, and she didn't mind my nervousness. I HIGHLY recommend visiting The Ink House and going to Shelley for any of your piercing needs. 10/10 for sure

    Healed tattoo
    Hannah A.

    Got my first tattoo here from Nancey, and had a great experience! He was very nice and told me everything I needed to know for my first tattoo. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else, especially if it's your first one. The Ink House was very clean and sanitized, and the other artist that was there was very nice too!!

    Hearts: refilled & outlined. Initials new & what I wanted R.I.P Billy Benson . Thank u Joe
    Erica G.

    I have had the best piercing experiences here and today I had the best experience with Joe, who I had the pleasure of tattooing me. I had a simple idea of what I wanted done ; nothing complicated or intricate. However Joe took the time to sit with me & listen to what I was looking for ( not my first sitting but it had been a while). His attention to detail was much appreciated ; I loved his insight and suggestions. He was very professional & friendly. I would hands down recommend The Ink House for piercings and to see Joe for his talent . Or any of the other artists there. Thank you so much for turning a very personal day into something positive. Thank you!!!

    Got a beautiful color piece by Joe today. Love it so much already! Clean lines, bright colors and he has a light hand so almost no pain. Can't wait to get more done soon!

    First time ever getting a tattoo.I was very nervous and skeptical where to go. I am so happy I chose The Ink House in downtown Ventura. From my first step in I felt comfortable. The woman who greeted me was so kind and I felt safe. I ended up getting a tattoo with Jessica who by the way is a rockstar then I went a little crazy and got my nose pierced by Jess, she was so kind and gentle. I highly recommend any woman that wants to get a tattoo or piercing to go visit these cool ladies.

    See all
