Ikigai Tattoo and Body Piercing

WONDERFUL! I’d love to be able to get a tattoo here, but just for piercings this time; a stacked lobe. Perfect job, placement, and very professional. They helped me pick out beautiful earrings for my stacked lobe and also an earring for a currently healed conch piercing. They colored the conch jewelry for me and were so nice and so helpful. Would go back in a heartbeat if I were local. 100% recommend.

I had some piercings done recently by Phil. When I showed up early for my appointment Phil and all his staff were super busy but he still found the time to greet me and even to joke briefly. While I waited my turn I sat there and just watched and listened to how Phil and his wife Nikki and their staff conducted business . They were very professional and fun. The way they treated their customers was outstanding ! For me I'm all about customer service and the the service after the sale. I am so pleased with the way I was treated that I will definitely be scheduling soon to have some more work done. This time I think I would like a new tattoo. I will be recommending this business to all my friends and family without a doubt. Thank you Phil for the amazing work and the outstanding customer service .

Amazing experience from the beginning. Staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, helpful in terms of tattoo ideas.

Went in there with no idea as to what we wanted. In the past, tattoo artists have been snobby and unable to help with the process of creating a tattoo together. This wasn’t the case with Nikki. She is an amazing artist and an incredibly nice person. She sketched up our tattoos based on elements we were just throwing at her on the spot. She treated us like we had been friends for years, talked to us about local spots for authentic Mexican food, and last but not least, gave us two really sick tattoos! She hooked it up, and did such a great job that we’re going to try to get in there again today for another tattoo each. Visiting Santa Fe from Austin and couldn’t have found a better artist. Thanks again you guys!

I got my nose re-pierced. Everyone was so friendly. The jewelry was really pretty and I appreciated their professionalism. Lovely experience. I would definitely go back.

Saw Phil on a walk in for my first time getting a piercing. The first thing I noticed was the shop was I credibly clean and inviting and the staff there were all very nice. Phil did my piercings and was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions and issues.the piercing took no time at all. Overall it was a great experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new piercing.

I never write reviews but I feel like I need to regarding Ikigai.I got a tattoo from Nikki a little over a week ago. Nikki and Phil create a great atmosphere at the shop. The shop is extremely clean and this made me feel much more safe and confident. I love the tattoo I received from Nikki. She gave me exactly what I wanted. I have had very little pain, itching or scabbing with this tattoo. Thank you Nikki and Phil. I can't wait to go back!

I rarely share reviews, but I felt like I needed to! This was an absolute wonderful place and experience. This was my first time getting cartilage done professionally and they were absolutely wonderful. The workers there were incredibly patient with me and super helpful (it took me forever to pick out jewelry, and asked tons of questions).

They are incredibly clean, and sterilize all their tools and jewelry. (Something that definitely reassured my mother).

I have a difficult time with needles and Phil was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding throughout the whole process. I love the finished product, and it was certainly quick and much less painful that what I thought!

I would definitely recommend, it is slightly pricey, (the piercing in itself isn't, but some jewelry can be, however they have cheaper options, and the ones that are more expensive are expensive for a reason).
I would go here for sure, and am excited to hopefully get more! :)

i had gone in looking for a certain size for my septum gauge. They were able to size up my septum for me and pierce my bridge. over all really enjoyed my experience, the staff was all very kind and welcoming and was able to answer my questions! as a walk in was able to be served right away! highly recommend!

After a recent bad tattoo experience in another state, I was somewhat anxious about taking another chance, but decided to go for it while in Santa Fe. So glad I chose Ikigai! I went in for corrective work on the earlier effort as well as a brand new design. Nikki really "gets it" and excelled at both challenges. She made the experience itself an all-around pleasure and the final results are completely to my liking. Thank you, Nikki!
