    Matching mother/daughter tattoos before my girl heads off to college.

    Love, Love LOVE Why Not Ink Tattoo. I highly recommend John C. For all of your tattoo and piercing needs. He's attentive, professional, and talented. Service was fantastic too, from the person who greeted us and got us going with paperwork to the staff that helped my daughter select and order new jewelry. A great all around experience.

    I really enjoy coming to this shop, all staff are very welcoming. Jose P. Is my to go tattoo artist and has always been very helpful and professional in what he does. Highly recommend for any tattoo or piercing.

    Hannah helped us out with a septum piercing and two ear piercings. Great Job and technique!! You could tell she and her boss knew what they were doing. We had gotten a bad septum from some other shop in LA and they had pierced it way to high up in the cartilage and it never healed. But here at Why Not Ink tattoo, we discussed our worries with our previous septum experience and Hannah took her time to educate us, find the perfect sweet spot, and make sure everything was feeling right. For piercings I highly recommend Hannah! She took the time to ask about our personal experiences, preferences and concerns until we were completely comfortable. Most importantly, she made sure everything was completely sterilized and great hygiene overall!! The end result were perfectly placed, minimal pain and just an overall comfortable and educational experience and all for a very fair price! Hannah even told us to regularly check in with her to make sure everything is healing properly. Highly recommend :)

    got my first tattoo with lee & his original design, fell in love with his artwork. such a cool person & artist, made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. the whole crew in the shop are really cool people. lee encouraged me to not be afraid about speaking up with any changes i wanted to be made when applying the stencil & making sure i was happy with the placement/sizing. going back for another tattoo with him very soon. love everything about this tattoo & my experience with lee.

    Came today for a nose piercing with John. I've had it done three times on the right side since 2008. Somehow it always came out, and next day the hole was already closed. This time I had it pierced in my left nostril. Hopefully the 4th time is a charm! John does such a great job, it didn't even hurt. He is super friendly and makes you feel like family. Great at tat's and piercings. Make an appointment online.

    Mike was awesome! I got 3 piercings on my ear and he made it so that I was super comfortable and it didn't hurt as much as other piercings I've had; super knowledgeable and professional, definitely going back for my next ones, thank you!

    I came here to get my first tattoo in July 2021. Sammy did an AMAZING job executing exactly what I wanted. She made my experience comforting and provided great care and advice for the healing process. Great tattoo parlor and will definitely be getting more work done here.
