She is very communicative during pre-appointment, and easy to work with. Her shop is clean, peaceful, and comfortable. Hana's attention to detail is excellent, and she brought out the best from the picture of my late boy Gunner, with amazing realism. I'm so glad he will always be with me just as I remember him best. Her design of my lemons and daughter's name captured just what I imagined, and she executed it perfectly. Nothing but the best to say about Hana, I'll be back soon - THANK YOU!!

This is important to me, since this was out of my comfort zone & I'm an anxious person. The artist, St. Mary, was wonderful.

Thank you to all!

We went in that night and met with Valerie to discuss what she wanted with inspiration pics as a start. Valerie brought back a great design and after a few tweaks, she hit it out of the park!

A close friend of mine and I came here in January. Getting piercings together was our third stop…read moreduring our girls day in the OC. Unfortunately, parking at The Camp isn't all that great. I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

Recently got my nose ring in after he advised me to keep my stud in for a long time. He's also done my conch and inner helix. All fabulous experiences and I will keep coming back!

My…read morefirst reaction to seeing her work was "she is incredibly talented!", then I got to know her through messaging and now through our session, and I can confidently say she's everything you expect and more!!! Not only is she amazing at her art but she is also a genuinely great person with a heart of gold She captured everything I wanted in my floral wrap. It was even more beautiful than I imagined!! I learned she also paints (watercolor and oil) and you can truly tell through her work! I can't express enough how happy I am to have her art work tattooed on my arm. To say im obsessed with it is an understatement

I booked this piece months in advance, and it was absolutely worth the wait. The moment it was…read morefinished, I felt lighter--almost like a spiritual awakening. It's been so hard to find someone who can do true fine-line work while still being affordable, but Charlot delivered both with so much care and talent. She was incredibly patient, and we had such a great conversation while she worked on me. We talked through how the piece would sit on different parts of my skin and decided it would flow better on my back rather than my arm, since I already had some ink there. Her studio is inviting, peaceful, and full of creative energy. I even noticed a stack of books that inspired me to start reading more on my own. I'll definitely be coming back for more floral or mandala pieces. Her artwork is truly one of a kind!

As a memorial piece, it's obvious this tattoo meant a lot to me. The staff was so thorough. I…read moreshowed them my rough draft and ideas I wanted to incorporate. Together, we fine tuned the piece and I was told the price, time it would take and who would be doing the piece based on expertise. The process was streamlined and smooth. The staff were so kind, considerate and sanitary. I could not be happier, truly. It's by far the best tattoo I have. The shop is beautiful and has fun, whimsical decor. It was extremely clean and I trusted the process entirely. The price seemed steep given I have gotten the other tattoos in the Midwest. But I truly believe you get what you pay for and this piece is priceless. So grateful for Alex, the artist, Nat and other staff that helped me get this done. Highly recommend Cleopatra Ink! Note: I came to them first for piercings nine months ago and that went so well I decided to come back for the tattoo.

This review is for my consult experience; I decided to not go with this studio because of it. This…read moreis a very nice/upscale studio in Costs Mesa. My appt time was 10:30am on Sat 2/21/26, and they asked me to be there 10 min early, so I was. They checked me in and pointed me to the couches, then just ignored me for 45 min, and finally took me 50 min after my scheduled appt time. No offer for water or coffee/tea, no acknowledgment about the wait (until the very end of my wait). They opened at 10am and weren't doing a damn thing the entire 50 min wait! Two were playing chess when I walked in. When they finally took me, they didn't inquire about my "why" regarding the piece; they just asked for a description and some inspiration examples. They then drew up the design digitally, which was good but not epic. I was only getting black and grey. The price... $2,500 for 8-16 hrs in the chair. Wtf. Even if the piece takes 16 hrs (which I don't think it will), it comes to $156.25 per hr, before tip. Umm, that seems rather steep to me. Their work, from what I've viewed, is good. Studio is professional. Their handling of me for this appointment was offensively impersonal and unprofessional. I will never go back, and hope this review hits a button for them on their lack of care on the customer experience.

I came in with a general idea, and she took it to another level with her creativity and attention to detail. Throughout the whole process, Keena made sure I was comfortable and informed, explaining each step and checking in to see how I was doing. My tattoo turned out better than I ever imagined, and I've gotten so many compliments on it already! If you're looking for an artist who's talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, Keena is the one. Highly recommend--can't wait to come back for my next piece!

I got 4 back dermals (2 at a time a…read morecouple weeks apart) here bout a year ago and was kinda nervous, not sm about the pain, but that I wouldn't like the location or that one was higher or sumn like that cuz it's not an easy piercing to just redo. I love how they don't just eyeball it but actually measure and draw out lines to figure out placement. Loved how all of em came out. Despite my efforts to keep them happy, I've had two incidents since where i was genuinely concerned that the only solution would be to take it out cuz that's all i saw online. I was so relieved when eddie informed me it'd be possible to save it (not a guarantee tho) using an extension bar and thank goodness it worked cuz both are completely fine now. I doubt i would still have em if i went anywhere else bout the issues i had. He is always rly prompt with responding on ig which I rly appreciate, especially when I had concerns. I first came here to get my tragus and third lobe piercings, and as someone who's really particular bout things like placement and symmetry, I got reassurance seeing Ayan measure and line up the placement of my third lobe piercings. Seeing how in depth they do even lobe piercings, I was confident in coming here and only here for back dermals. Also as a heads up this place is cash only Highly recommend here for all piercing needs:)
