Classic walk in shop with nothing but talented artists. Friendly staff, clean shop, and perfect location. Nip tattooed an old traditional pin up design on my leg that turned out flawless. It's 6+ months healed and looks killer. If you're looking to get some quality work, set up an appointment or just walk in at The Ink House. read more

It's wild this rag tag group of idiots gets anything over a 2 star. I've had countless people go in for the simplest of get only to walk out with a prison grade dumpster fire. Wife and daughter went in months back for matching stacked heart tattoos ... both of them now have three stacked nutsacks because these idiots can't perform the most basic of line work. Only in Ventucky ..... travesty to the history of the Ink House name. Just look at the pictures of the tattoos from the "five star reviews" .... Good grief ... bunch of shaky handed dip sh$&s read more

Coco is the piercer and she is great. I have used her twice. So nice, a gentle touch with minimal discomfort. She comes up from Long Beach, so make sure and check with the Ink House as to when she'll be there. Usually weekends. read more

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. read more

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. read more

10/10 My best tattoo experience by far Got a tattoo by Johnathan - we connected via instagram I gave him an idea of what i wanted and when i got to my appointment he already had multiple options to choose from and they were all great! He was super professional the entire time and everybody in the shop was very cool and kind Will definitely go again read more

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 (: read more

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 ! read more

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! read more

The Ink House - Healed tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Ventura, California

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 read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

I went in for a walk in just yesterday. The first red flag should have been the shop minimum of $150, though that evaded me, so i continued on. I wanted something super simple! Just over an inch wide and not even an inch tall, thin line work, no colors. definitely not worth $150! Again, fully evaded me. Told the artist what I wanted, and I filled out paperwork while he sketched. He showed me a very clean and simple and beautiful design, perfect, right? When he actually went to put it on my body, the line work got incredibly sloppy, looking almost like a doodle in a school notebook. filled in parts had gaps, lines were shaky, and the consistency and niceness of the piece went completely down the toilet. Still made me pay $150 for that mess. Absolutely unbelievable. Great first tattoo experience!! read more

Stopped in for a Friday the 13th tattoo. Their attitude was incredibly accomodating and friendly and that alone gives them major points in my book. My artist was Nip and he was able to do exactly what I wanted and even better. Jess The owner was super cool too. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I went in wanting a simple tattoo. I went through 3 people who said they couldn't do it until the 4th one said he could do it but it had to be right then and there. I hadn't planned on getting it until after I got off work, and I let them know that ahead of time. I just felt like because it wasn't some extravagant or expensive piece, no one gave a crap. I did give it two stars because the piercer there was nice and helpful. Her service was the 2 stars, but 2 out of 2. :) read more

I got my nose pierced. I'm 13 years old , but you do have to be 14 years old , but if you're younger just call them and they're going to put it down for you . I love mine it was such a vibe in the place . Nicki did mine she was so so nice and she told you all the steps before she did it I loved her I gave her a 10/10 . I would definitely recommend going . Thank you so much Nicki . read more

Shelley was great! I was in town for the weekend and i wanted my industrial bar piercing. I called to see if they could take me as a walk in and Shelley fit me in ten minutes before their shift ended! It was so nice of them to accommodate me. The process was seamless and Shelley walked me through each step so I was informed. I'm obsessed with how it turned out! Thanks! read more

I had wanted my nose pierced for a while. Just happened to be in the area. Found The Ink House here on Yelp and noticed that Jazz had some great reviews! I checked out the website and her personal instagram and saw that she had many, many happy clients! I contacted her the day before and she was super helpful and quick to respond. When we arrived the next day there were several people waiting to get pierced. But even with her being so busy, she was prompt at answering my texts before we arrived. I waited maybe 15-20 minutes, filled out my consent form, and she even asked me about metal allergies. I am allergic to nickel and she let me know about the standard jewelry and how it has traces of nickel in it. So we went with titanium. She was super sweet, personable, and fun to chat with. The shop is fun and clean and the vibes are awesome. Jazz had a great setup and she talked me through everything. And when the time came for the poke, it was super easy! She said it would feel like plucking a nose hair, and it did! The price was more than reasonable and Jazz is just a great person and piercer. Highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a piercing!!! read more

Took myself and my wife to get piercings and was greeted by Nikki! She took the best care of us! Talked me and my wife through the entire process and aftercare instructions. She was upfront about pricing before we even filled out paperwork which I greatly appreciate. This had to be the easiest and most comfortable experience we've had in a tattoo/piercing shop. She has the most gentle hands and so quick! Definitely will be returning to the ink house! Thanks Nikki! read more

I was hesitant to go to a new place for piercings but a friend recommended The Ink House and Shelléy. I have since got 4 piercings (daith, 2 cartilage and a tragus). Shelléy made sure I was comfortable with the whole process every time. I love what each piercing adds and I will be returning for more. I also recommend for my family and friends looking to get a piercing. read more

My sister and I wanted to take our niece to get her ears pierced so I called to make an appointment and they said we could just walk in. A couple days later we walk in and were notified that the piercer was out for lunch. The guy who told us this wrote my number down and said he would text me when the piercer came back, which would be "10-30 minutes". My sister, niece and I were walking downtown for almost an hour and never heard back. We finally walked back into the shop to see 2 other girls already filling out paperwork ahead of us and the piercer was serving them first. We walked out--if you're on a schedule, don't come here. read more

I always love going to the ink house. The artists there are really talented! They are never judgmental and it's always a good time. They're usually open for walk ins ans have always done a great job on my piercings and tattoos! read more

Had a great experience here. Angel did our tattoos (my husband and myself). He was amazing with helping us design and create our tattoos and we both love the final outcome. Highly recommend Angel. The entire shop of tattoo artists and piercers were knowledgeable and friendly. The shop was clean and had a very welcoming vibe. read more

While wandering down Main St, I walked by The Ink House. The owner of the shop was very polite and asked Irvin if he had time for a symbol I have been wanting to get. I returned after an hour and was able to get it done. Irvin is very precise with his line work. I love his work and highly recommend him for small and big tattoo ideas that require attention to details. Overall, great customer service from all of the staff. Friendly environment with kind artists. I'm excited to go back again for my future tattoos. Thanks a bunch Irvin! read more

Anyone in the area or visiting the area looking for a tattoo, look no further. Looking for a custom design, check. Looking for traditional, check. Not sure what you want but you have a vague notion, you gotta come here. The skill set is deep and vast with this shop. They are all artists whose tools of the trade happen to be electric needles and ink, instead of paint brush and water colors. Know how when you walk into some shops you feel like an outsider or a dirty stray they tolerate? You won't find that here - the staff here are super friendly and welcoming. I came in as a walk-in yesterday, chatted with Joe and left with an appointment. I had four other tattoo places tell me straight out nope and no way - Joe proved them wrong. He is one talented and adventurous mofo - he's my new bestie! I found the min rate of $80 to be pretty standard and overall price of my tattoo a price agreeable. But, hey, who can put a price on an exquisite one of a kind tattoo based on a drawing by my niece?? As an added bonus, there is also Ink House swag you can purchase. If after your tattoo you are still on that tattoo high, stick around and get a piercing or two or.... Oooo, and the bathroom is pretty damn clean and hygienic. Sometimes in a work environment with mostly men, the bathroom can be questionable. read more

i came into the Ink House as a walk in and Joe was the only one there. I asked if he could draw something up for me off a few photos I had and asked if he had time to do it today. I showed him the few drawings i had and told him what i liked and didn't like and he took his time to draw it up for me and we went back and forth with what i liked and didn't like. after a few hours we had drawn something absolutely amazing. Joe took his time with my piece and i absolutely appreciated it. this was my first huge piece so i wanted it done right and Joe had perfected it. very happy and in love with my new tat! thanks joe! read more

Billy was awesome and took my vision of what I wanted and made it into something more than I could have imagined. My husband and I lost our first baby early on and I wanted something to honor our little one, but I also wanted something to look to on my bad days. Billy was genuine and comforting, so much so that I let him take the lead on wrapping up the piece to make it pop. He really outdid himself and after we left, my husband and I had an emotional moment of what this piece meant to us. Our baby bird and my beautiful butterfly in honor of my grandmother who passed in April. Thanks for the beautiful tibrute Billy! Hope to be back soon! read more
