Have left messages for artists to get work done and none returned yet. I guess it is on to shop number 2.

I'm from Texas and flew out to CA to visit a friend in Long Beach and had been thinking about getting a piercing for a long time, and I'm glad I did my research. I read a lot of great things about Ryan, and thankfully he was working when we went in two weeks ago. I was really freaked out because I hadn't been pierced in about 4 years and forgot what the whole experience was like. Ryan really helped to calm my nerves and talked me through the whole procedure. He thoroughly went over all aftercare instructions with me, which is something I hadn't experienced with my last 6 piercings I had done in Texas. It's been a week and 4 days, and my lip is healing beautifully! I only had minimal swelling, and I've gotten lots of compliments on the way its healed and its placement. If I'm ever back in So Cal, I would definitely get more work done. I would totally recommend this place to anyone in So Cal considering any kind of piercing!!

Pros: ryan was very informative and calm and was able to answer all my questions

Cons: i was never told of the price of the piercing until after we were done

Noah did my tattoo and also my sisters. I recently went to avalon and he is way better. You are very lucky to have such a talented artist. I am going back and bringing more customers with me. It must have been fate. Thanks Noah for such a special tattoo, this has alot of meaning to my sister and I. P.S.you played great music, thanks.

I gotta say Ryan is AWSOME!!!!!! Ive gone to so many places trying to find someone that can do surface piercings that acutally look good like the ones ive seen on people at my school. No one seemed to know what theyy were doign until i fell upon studio city tattoo. i went in ryan was working that day. he answered all my questions and had tons of pictures of work that he had done and they all looked great! after filling out my paperwork ryan got me all set up and took as much time as he needed to make sure my piercing was going to be perfect. we were finally ready to go and guess what?!?!?! it barley hurt at all!! my nape looks perfect, its not even red and i couldnt be happier. If youre looking for a place that knows what they are doing and has awsome friendly people with out an attitude deffinatly go to Studio City Tattoo and ask for Ryan!!!! oh ya the tattoos are amazing too! Really cool place. Thanks again for my piercing!

Pros: Great quality cool people

Cons: parking on ventura blvd can always be a bit bad at certain times

I let very few people touch my skin, let alone ink it. Having Capt. Dave at Studio City Tattoo put my business logo inside a treasure map. . .while he was dressed as a pirate. . . has become one of my best memories of Los Angeles. I flew all the way out from Delaware to get this ink done inside the most piratical and very best ink-slinging shops in LA. . .if not the entire U.S. I get compliments all the time about the ink and I always point them to Studio City Tattoo. . . if you go anywhere else for ink, you've made a mistake that'll be with you as long as your skin is.

Pros: too many to list

Cons: no rum available in the place

Clean facility. Awesome staff. Jaw dropping Artistry. What else can I say? This place kicks the tail out of all of the competition.

Pros: Talderoy!

Cons: Having to leave when it closes!

If you want help on your journey with your sacred marking, come rub some crystals at this place. Your experience will be borderline religious, as they use only the highest quality artists, inks, and sage. Do not be fooled by imitations or conned by charlatans. The atmosphere is like a metaphysical massage for your chakras. It's so nice to go on a journey with Studio City tattoo, where they truly respect and dare I say love and cherish each sacred marking, and will gladly start a drum circle any time. That is a stark contrast to some other shops where they're too busy polishing their lip plates and touching up their face tattoos to be bothered with your journey.

Pros: The drum circle was amazing

Cons: None!

Well if all flavors of Ice Cream were Vanilla life would be pretty boring. One of the coolest things living in Los Angeles is the diversity of foods and Services that we can get here. There is a shop for everybody! We're glad you took the time to give us a shinning review. We try our best! (Bongos, Crystal rubbing , sage by request and appointments only!)
