Studio City Tattoo Los Angeles Body Piercing

The folks at Studio City Tattoo gave me my first tattoo. Now, to folks already familiar with getting a tattoo, that might not seem like a big deal, but to me, I wasn't certain what to expect. The atmosphere was thoroughly pirate (fitting for a tattoo shop I think) and the staff all friendly and knowledgeable. Before needle had touched skin I knew exactly what to expect and it was a great experience. The tattoo itself is wonderful, aftercare was clearly explained, and I left in a great mood.

While a newcomer to tattoos might find the process of selecting a tattoo shop daunting and intimidating, this is just the perfect little shop. Certainly amongst the top shops on the west coast, and a pleasure to deal with.

Been going to Studio City Tattoo for years. The staff is super friendly and fun. The shop is super clean and amazingly decorated, makes you feel like you are on a pirate ship.
The shop also has an amazing inventory of jewelry. I have bought a bunch of pieces for my wife. Everytime I reach out to Clay (the owner via email or Facebook) he always replied promptly and has provided amazing customer service. I can not recommend studio city tattoo enough!

Wow, where do I even begin??? So, my brother and I have always wanted to get tattooed together but we have never lived in the same city. We decided to meet in LA to get tattoos and we made appointment at Studio City. Little did we know, they've opened a new shop during this weekend and some artist for double booked. They called us, told us what was happening and STILL made it work (thank you for doing the legwork on that Bridgette, you rock)! So, we were still able to get our tattoos done by Joe Savva and Capt Dave, two amazing human beings with crazy good talent. I've fallen in love with this place and would gladly fly back down from San Francisco again to get more work done. Thank you all and thanks for the shirts!!

I have been to Studio City Tattoo twice for a tattoo and once with my friend when she got a piercing.

The first time I went to Studio City Tattoo, I was very hesitant because although I wanted this particular tattoo because I had a poor experience at another tattoo shop. I decided to ultimately go through with the tattoo at Studio City Tattoo, obviously and booked an appointment with Jose. I didn't know much about the shop other than what the reviews I'd read had said. When I first got there with my friends, who also had an appointment with Jose, the staff was extremely welcoming and very helpful. One of my friends was getting her first tattoo and it was on her ribs. Jose made sure to have her triple check that the number was right before he even drew it up. He was super kind and very understanding after seeing how nervous she was. I got a tattoo on my upper spine, and he asked me loads of questions including which hand I wrote with because that affects the tattoo being completely centered. He even brought out a ruler and had my friend take a picture of the drawing on my back so I could see how it looked before he started tattooing. After he finished the tattoo, I asked how much it would be to fix my first tattoo, a small treble clef on my wrist. He told me he'd do it at no charge, which took me by surprise. Overall, he did a great job breaking down the process and the aftercare and the tattoo I went in for looks great, as does the one he fixed.

The second time I went in for a tattoo, I called and schedule an appointment with Emily. I chose to schedule with Emily because whenever I'd gone into the shop, I always saw her doing foot and ankle tattoos. When I got there for my appointment, she was extremely nice as well and had the tattoo drawn up and ready to go. She placed it on my foot and immediately began to work after I gave the okay for the size and location. What I enjoyed about the session with her was how calm she was and that she carried a conversation with me while she was tattooing. The two other times I'd gotten tattooed, my artists never spoke, and let me tell you, it definitely makes a positive difference. My tattoo healed well and looks amazing. The line work is amazing and I receive compliments about it all the time.

The shop is also very, very clean and the artists are very good at explaining the process and aftercare, and they never seem like they are in a rush, which is also great because you feel like a top priority the moment you walk in. I definitely recommend it and will definitely go back for any future work I may want to get done.

All my ink has been done at SCT, mostly by Jose (the best!). This shop may be tiny, but it's very clean and well organized. The staff here are nice and very laid back people. If you're looking for a place to get a piece done, I recommend you check this spot out.

Went in today to get my very first tattoo, and I had emailed the artist prior to the appointment with what I had in mind. When I showed up, I met with Danny Dunbar, a super cool and collected dude who made the whole process so much better. He showed me his sketch for the design on his ipad, then showed me a few examples of others works that he would go off of for the shading of the tattoo. Danny was very easy to talk to, and definitely understood that the pain comes and goes, especially for a first timer like myself. Overall, he did an amazing job, and I love the piece! If you're looking to get your first tattoo or a tattoo in general, Danny is your man!

The shop was very clean overall, and every employee had a great attitude. The shop overall provided a very calm setting -I distracted myself from the tattooing process by just listening to everyone's conversations - I felt like I was in a movie scene. Time flew, and before I knew it the process was over. I highly recommend this shop, and I'll definitely be going back in the future!

I got two tattoo there(one 3 years ago and one less than a year ago) and absolutely love them, The place is VERY clean, they are very great and the quality of Ink is good as well.
They give you good advise as well(if the tattoo you want is good or not in different sizes)
I was lucky that I found them in Yelp for the first time!

My first tattoo is a memoriam tattoo for the person I have loved for 30+ years. The artist was Collin. He was so assured, calm and focused while working, I felt completely at ease. And the artwork was far beyond my greatest expectations. Looking at it for the first time it wasn't relief I felt, it was elation. Together everyone at Studio City Tattoo created a professional yet caring environment. Thanks
