I almost never leave reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. I've been to many different…read morepiercers but no one compares to Allen. 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!

My second time back at Aura Piercing & Fine Jewelry and I'm as pleased as ever…read more I came into the shop because some of my previously purchased jewelry from another retailer fell out and I lost the flat backs. 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!

Shout out to studio city tattoo for taking a painful, hard day and turning it into a memorable…read morespecial day for my wife. It's the first Mother's Day without her mom and with SAWOOLI and other staff at Studio City Tattoo help we were able to help make a sad day slightly better. The environment felt safe and comfortable enough allowing her to grieve while we waited for SAWOOLI to get the tattoos ready. Thanks again to everyone there this morning. Meant a lot to her. She walked in sad w her head down and walked out smiling and head held high. Made a huge difference

The customer service here is AWFUL! The lady dressed in black who sits behind the register and is…read moreon her phone while people need help has no basic knowledge about the jewelry policies at this shop. My partner and I came in to return a jewelry piece he surprised me with as a gift. I didn't even open the clear jewelry case since I immediately knew this septum ring was too large for me to wear. We clearly told the lady behind the register that we were there to exchange or return the piece. She tells us to wait for the piercer since others were waiting ahead of us. After waiting for over a half hour, I asked again, "do we really have to wait for the piercer to return this piece???" She said the piercer handles the jewelry. We were there for a total of at least 50 minutes! The piercer finally comes to us and tells us that jewelry cannot be returned after it leaves the shop. Why didn't the lady sitting behind the register give us this information as soon as we told her why we came in to the shop, instead of making us wait for almost an hour to just be extremely disappointed after speaking with the piercer? This place sucks, no respect and no consideration for patrons' valuable time. I have never been to a tattoo and piercing shop where the person at the register doesn't have basic knowledge on the shop's jewelry "policies" Back story: my partner goes in to this shop to surprise me with a septum ring. Another piercer helps him with picking out the jewelry. Bless my partner's heart but he knows nothing about piercings. He shows the piercer a photo of what I usually wear and somehow they pick out a piece that's triple the size of what I wear. The piercer never told my partner that jewelry is final sale. This place is an absolute disappointment and not helpful at all! Buy your jewelry somewhere else and go to a shop where everyone in the establishment values you as a customer!

We got here and was welcomed by Jazmine who set us up with all the tatts we wanted and some custom ones to to her style and we loved every bit of them. For a small but very humble and friendly shop was more like being family and friends while being there for 2 days getting work done. Everyone is chill including the owner herself and everyone else that we met there. Probably the most enjoyful tatt experience I've had in a long time and I will be coming back when I go back out there. With Westside having a light hand I felt almost nothing while getting my arm done and most of us felt almost nothing. For those of us whom was on their first tattoo got reassured and made sure was ok as the piece was being done. I respect this heavily as a lot of places do not do this anymore. Time was taken and all came out beautifully exactly how we wanted the pieces to be. We even got a few of their flash sale tatts done. We locked in and so did they! If you havnt't already been here I recommend going on a heavy note. Check in and talk to them and get some work done it's worth it! Thank yall for the great experience given to my family!

Mire takes great care in safety and ethics when piercing. He was extremely comforting to the both of us as well, letting us hug his dinosaur plushie "strawberry". He was very careful to make sure that all piercings were placed properly and were as even as possible! My partner is Korean and has always been told their anatomy would not be right for eyebrow piercings, but Mire, being Japanese himself- is very well informed on how to properly pierce people with those features (flat eyebrows and flat nose bridge). I would absolutely encourage friends to go get pierced by Mire!

MonsterLand isn't just a tattoo shop--it feels like home. My partner has been going to Mr. Monster…read morefor over 10 years, even back when he was working at another shop, so this place already carried a lot of meaning for us. When we first started dating, my partner took me here spontaneously, and it was such a special experience. The artist was not only incredibly talented, but also so sweet and generous. He works fast without ever compromising on quality, which makes the whole process even more comfortable. Every visit since then has only confirmed it: the vibe here is welcoming, the energy is creative, and you can feel the heart that's gone into building this shop. It's more than just getting ink--it's about community, trust, and walking away with art that tells your story. If you're looking for a tattoo shop that blends speed, skill, kindness, and a true sense of belonging, MonsterLand is it.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Claudia. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel…read morecompletely at ease with her professionalism, confidence, and obvious experience. I had triple helix piercings done along with other piercings that can definitely cause anxiety--but Claudia handled everything with such precision and calm that any nerves disappeared instantly. She was efficient and flawless in her technique. The piercings came out perfect--clean, symmetrical, and exactly what I wanted. You can tell she truly knows what she's doing; every movement felt intentional and expert. Beyond her skill, Claudia created an experience that felt safe, reassuring, and honestly empowering. I walked out not only loving my piercings, but feeling grateful I trusted the right person with my body. If you're looking for someone who is professional, experienced, gentle, fast, and genuinely exceptional, Claudia is it. Best piercing experience I've ever had--hands down. I will absolutely be back and recommend her to everyone.

My friend and I came in today to get a conch piercing and 3x2 inch cat fine line tattoo. We were…read morevery welcomed when we came in and Osh helped us decide on final placements, jewelry, and was extremely helpful. With my piercing, Osh helped me pick a stone design/shape that matched the set I already have started while I wait for it to heal to switch to a hoop. He was very patient with me as I looked at almost every stone option they had, asked about prices, and had them held up to my ear. The jewelry did come separately from the piercing price, my totaled to $137. They had a large variety of 14k gold and titanium options. The studio was very clean and the actual piercing went amazing. Osh lined up my piercing, it felt like he really cared about it looking amazing. He was fast and very kind throughout the whole process and I'm excited to come back in the future to continue my stacks. With the tattoo, my friend got a fine line cat about 3x2 inchs for $200. Bryan did it and it looks amazing. He helped pick out the dimensions and what would look best in that spot. He was very kind and set the first tattoo nerves at ease. It felt like he really took his time, the placement, explaining the experience, and actually doing the tattoo. He chatted with us the whole time and made sure she was comfortable the whole time, even though it was likely a baby tattoo. We had a really great experience. They worked around us wanting to watch the other person get their piercing/tattoo and were extremely kind. We will definitely be coming back.

Sent a pic of my dog over on Instagram, and Nemo got back to me and set up an appointment. The vibes here are immaculate. Maybe the cleanest tattoo shop I've ever been in. Nemo and Greg were friendly, welcoming, and kind. When Nemo found out my dog had passed away, we chatted about how much we love dogs for a while. I felt really safe (I was the only person in there the entire time and am a small woman). The tattoo came out incredible. Nemo is a magician? When he put the stencil on I was like uhhh ok I'm gonna trust this guy. Every time I looked down at what he was doing, I was amazed. He literally brought my dog to life on my arm. I'm going back to this place for every tattoo I get from now on. Thank you guys!!
