Got my first tattoo in 12 years. Skylar hooked me up last Thursday. It was a simple tribal zodiac tattoo on my calf, but he did amazing work. My wife and I were there for a few hours, and we spoke with the all the employees. Everyone was really cool, and it was just fun to hang out while waiting. Steve pierced my ears while I was waiting, and it was quick and painless. The whole place is ke...
SLIM did an amazing job covering up my I-got-them-when-I-was-young-and-stupid tattoos, the time on the chair was well worth it, those silly tattoos were a bygone era. With a steady hand and hours of entertainment, he made my visit a definitely memorable one. The work that he does is impeccable, and I am definitely appreciative of the creative work on his part that went in to creating the perfect ...
Never considered a tattoo in my life until I hit 40. Had an artist create a design and then went on the search for a place that had a good reputation. I WAS NERVOUS AS HELL. So many good reviews pointed us to Studio City Tattoo. We drove 4 1/2 hours to LA just for the tattoo event. Dana helped me through my extreme needle phobia. In the same visit, the love of my life also had her 40th birthday c...
My wife and I went to Studiocity Tattoo to get our newest tattoos. All the artists are great but we had Dana hook us up. Minetook longer then we expected but the atmosphere and vibe made the hours of pain more tolerable!! Dana is a quirky dude and meticulous and the tattoos are just awesome. We will be back!
I have never once been disappointed with any of the work done at Studio City Tattoo. The artists and piercers are AMAZING and always make you feel comfortable. I won't go anywhere else in California and I will always recommend anyone to go to the shop for tattoos or piercings! They are THE best.
Got my tattoo done by Captain Dave! He is nothing short of a true artist and is also very meticulous. He guarantees his work, if you need a touch up, like I did a few months after, he will touch up your tat at no extra charge!
Whether it be Captain Dave or any of the other tattoo artists, this is THE place to get a tat done in L.A. Beguiling pirate atmosphere! . Not intimidating in the l...
Totally love the shops atmosphere, great service both on phone for appointment and awsome work done by artist. I will be back there soon for next tat!
Got my first major tattoo a few months ago at Studio City Tattoo. The staff is highly professional, the pirate ambience is unique and comfortable, and best of all, there's Illya, the brilliant artist who brought my design to life - his work is absolutely exquisite! Highly recommended.
I got a forearm tattoo of the invisible man done by dana. It came out incredible, better than I couldve imagined. I get compliments on it everywhere I go. Ill surely be back at studio city tattoo next time I get tatted
Went in for a double tattoo. Came out with matching Anchors that was beautiful, neat, colorful. Didnt hurt much! LOL Illia rocks! I could have gave him a big kiss on his lucky stars!
I love this place, gettin tatted this weekend!!!
shot out to slim!
Went there to get what I thought was an easy tattoo, but the staff spent the time to help me improve on the design and make it really great! A great place to get a tattoo in LA
Studio City Tattoo is the only tattoo that I trust. They do amazing work and have a great staff. I can't wait to come in for my next tattoo!!
This was the perfect place for my first tattoo. I had a specific idea on how I wanted my tattoo and $lim was able to put it onto paper just how I imagined it! He even helped work it around so it would fit on my tiny wrist.
Their shop is really clean and organized and the energy is really nice. I've already recommended it to people :)
I've already been to this tattoo shop twice and I love it. They'll consult with you before hand and tell you what will work and your body and what won't. My artist was Skylar. I'm pretty girly but the guys didn't make me feel awkward in the shop at all. My tattoo took about 2 hours but Skylar kept talking to me and making sure that I was comfortable. I love both my tattoos and I'm going back when...
Got my first ink at 44 from Todd Townsend and became addicted...........to the ink not Todd, but he is a sexy beast with gentle hands. I am working on a full upper body Tribal, still have to do my back and my ribs.
I have spent 26 hours in the shop, always have a great time.
Always like watching whole families come in for ink or piercing and see daughters telling their moms not to get tha...
They fixed my mom's bad tattoo and made it a work of art that she LOVED! The artists are so talented, I've never seen a cleaner shop, everyone is so helpful and friendly! I don't care how far you have to travel, get your next tatt HERE, folks!
everyone is very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to help
Hi my name's Melissa and I had my lip pierced for the very first time tonight. The guy who pierced me was named Nick, and he was an exceptional piercer. He calmed my nerves, and when he did it it was painless and super fast. The shop itself is very clean, and the people were very helpful and nice. I will for sure be going back, to them and I recommend them to anyone who wants a piercing or tatto...
I caught Captain Dave before he moved. YES!!!!!!
Everyone at the shop was cool, very helpful. I couldn't be happier! I got my pirate tat at my pirate tat shop!
For my 4th tat (and on the side....whew!) Dave made the experience as comfortable as possible. It's a clean place with amazing artists. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Awesome Parlor! Top hygiene procedures, awesome matching black gloves (fit in nicely with the decor LOL) Enter the world of pirates... place has a really original theme to it. Really cool, amusing and friendly tattooists, had a great time!! Went for a first tattoo and had the best experience. Illya is so friggin talented... and his head ain't stuck up his own ass... unlike other top artists, he m...
This was my first tattoo and I went with my son and his roomie. All three of us got tattoos....I was scared to death, the guys had previous tattoos. Slim did mine and I LOVE it. Every artist there...we used 3 different guys, were great. It was inpeccably clean and the staff was awesome. Never thought I'd get inked, but next time in LA...I'm going back! Wonderful experience!
Skylar took my art work (a very crude drawing) and made it hum! He turned it into a stunning piece of art and the colors and shading were amazing! He's a truely wonderful artist and I would recommend him to all my friends! The prices were very resonable and the rest of the artist in the shop were interesting and funny.
All Hail the Yeti!
So I just got a tattoo done recently by Dana at Studio City Tattoo. I wasn't even halfway done and every single client in that shop asked about it and commented on how gorgeous it was. And it is. The piece is amazing and has heads turning all over the place when I go out. I admit to being incredibly hesitant about inking up my arms for the first time, but I'm so impressed with the painterly, ...
What can I say... the best tattoo I have gotten yet. Totally professional, great atmosphere and very cool people. Illya was my tattoo artist and I personally would recomend him to each and every person looking to get a tattoo. He's funny, respectful and a true gent all around not to mention a true tattoo artist! Plus it helps the place looks like the Black Pearl.
This was my very first tattoo and I was scared to death. From the minute I walked in the door the experience was wonderful. SKYLAR did my tattoo and he was the best. I felt no pain, just a little discomfort, but throughout the process he was great. I never thought I would get the first tattoo and all the way home I was thinking what I wanted next and where. Contact SKYLAR and be ready for ...
I love Studio City Tattoo!!! Probably one of the best tattoo studio in LA. Very clean and prices are very reasonable, and it's like Pirate headquarters.
I decided to go after getting many referals from friends and coworkers.
Illya did a cover up for me earlier this year, it looks amazing, you would never know there was a tribal underneath that crow, i love it!
Yesterday Slim did a sma...
Well, I wish I was as talented a writer as Illya is an artist! That not being the case I will struggle to try to express my complete and total admiration for Illya and the masterpiece he created that now sits upon my right upper arm and shoulder. It is a magnificent samurai leading a charge on one badass horse so detailed in musculature that it appears 3 dimensional. It can be seen on Illya's mys...
Based on the overwhelming positive reviews I read here I decided to make an appointment at Studio City Tattoo for a tattoo that I have wanted for years. Upon walking in I was greeted immediately by Illya and Steve and some of the other artists and felt comfortable right away. After looking through sample albums of the different artists, which were all good, I chose the one I thought best suited m...
All the tattoo artist inside this shop are great, but my friend Mike is the best. I got my Persian tattoo from him, he has a great knowledge about Persian Empire tattooing. Also when I was getting my tattoo, Miley Cyrus stoped by to change her nose ring. There was a girl who was very nervous to get her nose pierced and Miley Cyrus told her in her own words that "don't worry Nick is the Best". I a...
I did my google search like most people would do when trying to find a tattoo parlor in the LA area. My key phrase was: "The best tattoo studio in the LA area." To my pleasant surprise "Studio City Tattoo" was ranked #1. I called and set up an appointment immediately.
I was very nervous walking in, but I hoped for the best and truly got my moneys worth. I met Skylar my "artist" who exceeded my e...
Before making my choice of a tattoo shop, I wanted to make sure that the place I did select was professional and clean. This is the result I recived when I went to Studio City Tattoo. The staff was friendly and helpful about any questions or concerns that I had before and after I got my tattoo. The tattoo artist Slim did a great job for me and my girlfriend. Slim will definitely be invited for Th...
I have 3 small tats one on each wrist and one on the back of my neck. Had been undecisive whether to start on the half sleeve I have been wanting for a while. A life changing experience made me realize to do what makes me happy.
On July 19, 09 I was searchig on google for an excellent tattoo shop to get started on my right arm.
Had a vision in mind and a picture. Found excellent reviews on S...
Splendid" is not the word commonly associated with the process of getting a tattoo. "Scary" springs to mind - as does, "Ouchy-Hurty" or "Sting-o'-riffic!" But my two experiences at Studio City Tattoo have both been "Splendid!"
The shop is clean! The artists (and I am not just throwing that word around. These guys are "artists" in every sense of the word!) who do the work take time to talk to y...
On my 18th birthday I went here to get my first tattoo. Illya not only had a great personality and kept me calm but he does wonderful work. So far I have referred about 6 people here. I'm going back on saturday to get my second tattoo done by Slim. I have not yet seen a piece done from here that I don't like and I will definitely be going back for more tattoos!
Keep up the good work guys!
I had a tattoo done in 2007 which has never felt "finished". By recommendation from a friend, I got hooked up with Dana at Studio City Tattoo. He is a genius with cover ups as well as adding that artistic touch to the previously flat tat that I had. Even though it's only a few days old, the tat has been well received by everyone who had seen it before.
The shop is incredibly clean and is ...
Walked in and talked to Todd (great guy) who set me up with an appointment that same evening with Skylar.
Showed up a little early and Skylar got to work drawing up my tattoo. This guy is an awesome artist, and seems like a hell of a guy. I will be going back to this shop and artist for multiple tattoos.
Slim was in tattooing as well when I was there, and he seemed like a great guy as ...
This place is as good as they say. Got my tat done on Saturday by Slim and they are the best. I am a total wuss and they made it easy. My tat looks fantastic! Love it!
Update 11/30-Went back to Slim again for a much larger piece on my back. Absolutely love it yet again. Three hours and it looks amazing and is healing perfectly!
I got my Saint tattoo here and they did a awesome job. Cool guys and fun time. And the tat looks great too. I'm getting all my tattoos here now. And they good with the prices too.
To the crew at SCT,
Wanted to just share with you guys how absolutely stoked my girlfriend and I were with our experience at your shoppe. This was my very first tattoo at 42 and my girlfriends first time getting her ears pierced at age 36. Needless to say Ann was scared, but Nick was so cool and gently with her and made her experience flawless. Ann smiled the entire time and said the pain was ...
I've had a couple piercings in my time but this one was the best experience I've had. I had an industrial done, which is a bar that connects to two parts of your ear... but it I was very pleased by it The Studio City Tattoo was a unique experience, when I first walked in the door I noticed it was pirate themed... which was different. The guys who work there were very friendly. Steve was the guy...
Well Ive been getting tattooed at Studio City Tattoo for more than 5 years, and I can not say enough great things about the people who work there and the amazing tattoos that I have gotten. I am not someone who deals with pain well and I am very picky.....many of the shops I went into were short with me or didnt seem to care to much about the peices I wanted. I have been tattooed now by almost ev...
I've never written a review before but after getting a tattoo at Studio City I was compelled to write one.
I had work done by Dana and I can honestly say that I will definitely return to him for my next one. My tattoo came out far better than I could have envisioned in my mind. It is beautiful and I was extremely happy with the outcome. I have 11 tattoos total and this is by far my favorite ...
This is a great place to get ink. I am tatted up and it is legit. This is the spot to go next time I need new ink. No cry babies here. Peace.
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 h...
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.
If you need a piercing go to Ryan!! i cant stress that enough. This is the only studio ive found that acutally takes the time to make sure youre happy and they seem like theyre happy too!! Awsome work, super cool people , Amazing jewelry and service. Studio City Rocks mah socks!!! Ive gotten all my piercings done by ryan and i constantly get complements on them.. oh ya Caleb is amazing too if yo...
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 compl...
Clean facility. Awesome staff. Jaw dropping Artistry. What else can I say? This place kicks the tail out of all of the competition.
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 loo...
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 ...
My First Tattoo and may not be the last by Illya.
A Grade A job
Thanks guys....
=)
I Highly recommend this place a Class A Tattoo Studio.
Really a great experience for my first tattoo. Clay is a Gentle Giant. I now have a way to find home on my chest.
Dana provided me with a work of art. I asked him to create a tattoo from a picture of my deceased husband. He created a beautiful, precise, portrait of the love of my life. I am so proud of this rendition, that I'm compelled to show everyone and they always want to know where I got done...Thank you, Dana
Great Artists and Greak Customer Service, I got my first tattoo here and my 3rd and I will continue to keep going! ARRHH!
This is NOT a tough guy tattoo shop, NOT an ordinary tattoo shop...Its not just a tattoo shop. I often find myself stopping in, just to say hi to whoever is working, not just because they are nice and good people, but because they are my friends. They all know me by name and don't only care about making money, they're genuine people with genuine personalities. This is the cleanest, best decorated...
Got my first 2 tattoos here done by Dana and they are awesome. Definitely coming back here for more ink! Cool & friendly atmosphere.
illya is the best! ill be heading there again for another design when im back on the west coast....
Studio City Tattoo was recommended to me by someone else. That's the only way to go for getting a new tattoo in my opinion. They have picture books available so that you can find an artist that fits what you want best.
All the guys are cool and the atmosphere is awesome. It's very clean and very professional. I got my tattoo at 11am. It's not a fly by night slum at all. This place is top...
I've been going to the guys at Studio City Tattoo for about a year now. Four piercings and one tattoo later, they are still the best! They're all gentle, really make you feel comfortable! Just a great bunch of guys! :)
Nick and Ryan are piercing extraordinaires!
And Illya was just perfect for my 1st tattoo last week! It's killer! I just love it. And yeah, I'll be back for more!
Illya is the number 1 tattoo artist in Los Angeles! My piece is lovely. I plan on coming back and telling everything about the shop.
I discovered Studio City Tattoo after my artist, Noah Baxter, started working there. The first time I walked in I was overwhelmed by the decor, the place looks like it's straight out of Disneyland! While I was lying on a table having my ribs tattooed for 8+ hours I had plenty of time to look around at everything, and as you can imagine I welcomed the distraction.
Noah and all the guys who wo...
Amazing art, super clean shop and a staff of true buccaneers, all loyal before the mast, (and skilled with sharp objects behind it).
Out of all the tattoo shops i have been too, Studio City Tattoo is by far my favourite. i go to Illya who may I just say is wonderfully talented and what he does! He did a great piece on me and he makes you feel right at home! he is extremely funny and his presence when working on you makes you forget that you have a needle stabbin u haha! Everyone was so friendly and nice and the atmosphere was ...
Late last year, Studio City Tattoo would NOT tattoo my under-18-year-old son... they value their licensing and sure gained my respect! Now my son has his second tattoo (and at 54, I have my first!). Everyone in the shop is awesome. Thank you Caleb for the birds, Dana for the stripes and Ryan for the piercings! Love this highly talented crew. Aye, aye.
Absolutely love the atmosphere in the shop. All the guys, but mostly Dana, are great artists and even better friends. Great for first-timers, but not just a gateway shop. The whole group is a huge pool of talent to choose from.
Second tattoo down, way more to come!
Thanks Dana! Thanks Ryan! Thanks Caleb!
Personally, I don't think that there is a friendly staff at any tattoo shop in town. The guys at Studio City Tattoo really have their act together. I have gotten 3 tattoos from Illya (who did a brilliant job of executing my designs to perfection).
I strongly recommend them for anyone thinking about getting a tattoo or piercing.
Very clean shop, very friendly and helpful artists. Affordable prices and execellent work! Connor has done a couple for me and one being a cover-up... You can't even tell what was under it... good job Connor!!!! I will be back the next time I need work done :)
I flew from Atlanta, Ga to get my tattoo done by Illya in July 2007. Illya is the number 1 tattoo artist in Los Angeles!
this is the shop you have all been waiting your whole lives to experience. i moved here from nyc 4 years ago and have been getting tattooed for the better part of my 26 year life. when i moved i was sad because i had left my tattoo family all the way across the country. i have very strong tattoo ethics and very high expectations of a real shop. don't let the size fool you... this is one of the be...
I took my lady friend to get a little piece of old work fixed and we met up with artist Illya. I seriously figured that he would be able to "kind of" fix her old messed up tattoo. But damn!!! He changed her tattoo into an amazing piece of art! Not only that, but he made a whole piece out of what was started and di an AMAZING job!!! The shop is worth going to, and if you want amazing ink, ask...
i've never found a better shop or better bunch of tattoo artist .its so relaxed that you feel like your sitting home with friends hanging out ,ive been being tattooed by capt. dave since 1995 & he gets better every year
This is the ONLY place I trust to get a tattoo. The artist are amazing. and the shop is so clean and welcoming. If you're looking into getting a tattoo, this is the only place I would tell you to go.
You should go check it out for yourself, you will not regret it!
I think the headline says it all. Everyone was so
friendly with no egotistical bad attitudes like most shops. Super
clean shop with state of theart gear at every station.
You could eat off the floor. I brought in a bunch of
hot girls and no one acted rude or inappropriate!!! All freehand. I
was in and out in 3 hours for a full chestpiece! Illya
is my hero! Just try em out once and you'll ne...
I went here about 2 weeks ago with a friend for my first tattoo. I was instantly put at ease; the surroundings and the staff were very friendly and inviting. I can?t compare this shop to any other but I know I will be coming back!! - Love the Pirate decor ? feels like you are on a deck of a ship!
When I first visited the shop it was smaller than I'd pictured and if you bring many friends with you they can have trouble finding a seat, but that is the ONLY small problem (if it can even be called that). Dana did my first tattoo, he was very professional, told me exactly what was going to happen, joked with my friends, and gave me great advice on how to take care of it after we were all done...
Last summer I took a trip with my friends to California, I decided I was going to get a tattoo by the end of the trip. I used citysearch to find a place with good reviews and stumbled across Studio City Tattoo. I checked out the webpage and realized these guys were quirky, and had amazing portfolios. I set out to Studio City and made my appointment. They worked with me to get my design, got me in...
There is not a single time I've ever visited this location and walked away unhappy for any reason!!!!
When you get the urge to have outstanding work done, I highly recommend taking your business to Studio City Tattoo!!!!!
Always good vibes and fun times. Not INSANELY over priced like trendy shops like high voltage but just as good, if not better!
Caleb is the best tattoo artist i've ever had work by.
So i took two drawings to Caleb and the man put em together and drew exactly what I imagined! sat through my first tatt ever for 4 hours and it was a breezeeeee with Caleb. This place is wayyy legit, great artwork, awesome guys and sick deco. EXTREMELY SATISFIED, THE DUDE IS SICKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
I have started my sleeve with an artist by the name of Caleb at Studio City Tattoo and he is amazing and very talented. He also did an amazing cover-up on my lower back that is stunning. He has done 3 tattoo's so far and I am scheduled for my 4th in 2 weeks. I will always come back to the shop, because of the professionalism they have at Studio City. I have been to many shops in the LA area and t...
Capitan Dave and Ryan are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I hear about the shoppe from friends..I finally went in to do my first tattoo..It was with Capitan Dave..He is the BEST! It was very nice and took time with me. He's got a very light hand, not heavy like some others where it can just hurt and get irritated when they push down so hard! He's done all my tattoos..It's very clean and I've also go...
Got a great tattoo with Connor. Others in the shop helped with scheduling and selecting an artist. Price was right and was exactly what I was quoted as an estimate.
Connor did an amazing job and communicated extremely well as I tried to explain the image I wanted. He spent time discussing sterilization techniques and maintenance of equipment when I had questions. The tattoo I finally got...
Everyone is genuinely nice, and they do a great job with the tattoos! I have three from them, and I am definitely going back for more! I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I Got My First Tattoo Here. Slim Is A Great Designer, He Made My Tattoo Look Extremely Amazing, He Drew It Out With His Own Design That Took My Idea To A Whole New Level. He Was Really Chill And Talked Me Through The Expirence. I Am Extremely Greatful That My First Tattoo Expirence Was Will Such A Great Artist At Such An Awesomly Themed Shop. Everyone There Was Kind And Courteous. I Will Be Retur...
Fantastic place to go..... I got my very first tattoo done with studio city in feb... the employees were all fantastic. They told me what to expect how it would feel. Which to me has made me want to go back. They were all very friendly over there. My tattoo artist when I was getting my tattoo walked me through everything and was always making sure I was ok. He was fantastic.... I will be back to ...
Slim was awesome today, cool dude. Added to my Joker tattoo and made me laugh and felt comfortable the whole time. This was my third time going to SCT and I will definately go there again.
This place is awesome. Five years ago I had wanted a cover up on a disasterous tattoo and after scouring the internet I came across this shop. My friend and I went in to see if it could be done. The first person I talked to was Caleb. His portfolio was awesome and he said he could totally do the coverup. Well, life got in the way and just a few months ago I was ready (mentally and financially) to...
I have to say that I LOVE this tattoo shop. Its the only one that I know that has the best and very talented artists along with being clean. (I don't know if you've looked.... but it's really hard to find both of those qualities) I started going to Studio City Tattoo when I was 17 (for a piercing) and I feel ln love with place, now its the ONLY place I get my tattoos (and piercings). If you're lo...
This place rocks! Everyone is super nice and they all take immense pride in their work. The shop is very clean and they bent over backwards for me so I could have my backside inked. Gorgeous work! Capt Dave handles all the pirate tattoos and Clay is a god!
Drunken Parrot Wear
Studio City Tattoo is the ONLY placed to get inked ! my family goes there for piercing and pirate theme makes it all the better, The guys there ( Capt'n Dave) is the man too see. So calling all pirates "The only link to the Ink" is Studio City Tattoo.
Red eye
Ok, lets just say it wasn't a piratical tat shop, I'd love it anyway. First and foremost the staff is awesome. All are insanely talented artists who are friendly and helpful. I went in and told the kind gent who helped me what i was looking for art-wise. Instead of trying to sell me on his work & make a buck he showed me books of three other artists who specialized in what i was looking for. I ch...
I love everyone at this shop everyone is very friendly and helpful with all my ink and piercing needs. My last 5 out of 6 tattoos and a double industry peircing were all done at Studio City Tattoo!! Even better is the Talk like a PIRATE day shop parties. This is the only place I take my friends and mother to for tattoos or piercings very knowlegable staff, clean and friendly. I will be going in s...
Caleb did my first tattoo and I will surely be back...Very nice guy!!!!! Very clean place too!
Cool tattoos, nice shop. Piercing is great, I love the huge selection of body jewelery. Great place.
Theres a lot of tattoo shops that you could go to, but this is the only one i would recommend... I said before and I stand by it, I would drive from Texas to L.A. to get all my tats done at Studio City Tattoo. I totally trust everyone one in the shop with ink and piercings. The professionalism is the top! You dont have to worry about dirty needles or scarey tattooed freaks! I would send my grandm...
cool shop..... pirate theme is cool........ easy to find location....... right off the 101 freeway..
I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive to have any work done, but after speaking with this shop I felt immediately at ease and the employees were super duper nice, very easy going and very helpful. I would recommend Ye Olde Tattoo to anyone, plus the store has a pirate theme, not your typical blah tattoo shop motif.
What's up Guys! My first ink was done here and it was a great experience. Very professional and Clean and the Pirate theme was very unique. Big ups to the man Connor! very down to earth guy. I'll be seeing you guys soon!!!
I've been here four times. Once to get my nostril pierced, next to get the ring changed, got the ring changed again (by Ryan), and then to get my septum pierced. Man, I love this place. It's clean, the people are super-friendly, and it's completely relaxed. I'm fourteen years old and I come here with my parents... Every time we walk out of SCT my mom and dad tell me how impressed they were by eve...
SCT is without a doubt the best tattoo studio I have ever been to! The staff was great! Very courteous and helpful. Caleb did my tattoo and he was kick @$$!! He was very l@id back and honest about what WOULD and WOULD NOT look good as a tattoo. This is my 5th tattoo but the biggest piece I?ve ever had done. 90% of my back is now inked thanks to Caleb and he did AAA+++ WORK!!! I STRONGLY suggest ...
After a couple phone calls and emails [they're very resonsive], I went down to SCT for a quick consult with Caleb. He was very cool and stopped what he was doing and traced something up for me. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes. The place looked awesome like a pirates' ship. I made an appointment for a week later. Yesterday, we did a marathon session which was pretty unusual because of...
I'm so glad I went there. They were so nice to me. I went to get my belly pierced and had no idea what to expect. My piercer, Nick, was so nice and talked me through the whole process. (And he's cute too!) He made sure to show me that all the tools are new and clean. I love their shop too; the pirate themed has a really cool vibe. I definitely recommend you go there.
I've been coming to this shop since June, and I'm still getting unfinished work done this month. I have had several sessions done with Captain Dave, and my expectations have always been met. For such incredible work, he does have a light hand on really sensitive areas. I also had a nape piercing done by Ryan, and I haven't had any trouble with it. The atmosphere is really relaxed, and when I had ...
i would highly recommend this place. i had been looking around online for some good piercing places with reasonable prices and my sister found this place. i called a few places and on the phone they seemed harsh and whatnot. ryan pierced my nose. he was very comforting and him just talking to me relaxed me. i was really nervous because i had a nose piercing before but i had a bad experience. ryan...
The shop is clean and orderly. Caleb was great and the results were awesome. I would suggest making an appointment as the shop is busy. It also helps to have any artwork sent via e-mail before you go as this does speed up the process. Parking is crowded as they are in a strip mall. Seating in the waiting area is quite limited as the shop is small.
not only is the establishment very clean, orderly, & wonderfully themed, but the staff is very pleasant, helpful & welcoming! the moment i stepped into the parlor, i knew i made the right choice!
i'm extremely pleased to have gotten my first tattoo at s.c.t. (mark, you're amazing & i absolutely will be returning for future work!)!

Studio City Tattoo is the BEST place to get a tattoo. The overall experience is GREAT!!!! The people there are fantastic and the atmosphere is amazing. The only down fall is that they are so busy that not all the artists recieve their messages if you are to leave one for them. I tried for months to get a hold of Mark and kept being unable to reach him. I finally got a hold of him and scheduled a...
I just walked in without making an appointment and didn't have to wait too long to get my tattoo. everyone was really friendly and outgoing, so i immediately felt more comfortable. NOAH did my tattoo. he was excellent! calmed my nerves and did a great sketch of what i brought in (chinese characters). he was very meticulous and careful and made sure that i was extremely happy with the design befor...
Studio City Tattoo is by FAR the best parlour of it's kind both in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere's. The staff are seriously fantastic! This would be a wrong choice of words as they are more a family and make everyone feel relaxed and at home. My hours here flew by and I drop in whenever I can to say hello to my new friends! I was fortunate enough to have Mark do my tattoo. I am not one to ...
I can't say enough good things about Studio City Tattoo and Mark of course!! The shop is AWESOME! The pirate theme is great fun and sets a jolly mood for creative work to be done. Mark is so kind, and as gentle as a guy with a power needle can possibly be. (dear lord tattoos hurt!) Mark coached me through the pain and kept me going...even when my husband bailed on us. (he couldn't stand the...
My husband and I stopped in the other afternoon to see if anyone could take 2 walk-in appointments. (I have 1 tiny star on my foot already and this was my husband's first tattoo.) We had no idea that this was such a popular (and deservedly so) shop, so they were pretty booked for the day. However, one artist, Mark, said he could take us at midnight. We live around the corner and the idea of getti...
My daughter just turned 18 last Saturday and got her 1st tattoo by Mark at Studio City Tattoo. Eventhough I have alot of friends with tattoos I was a little worried about the fact that tattoos are so permanent but he took her design and made it better than I ever imagined it would be. We had a great experience from the moment we walked in....everyone in the shop made us feel welcome. Mark has a k...
I decided to go to Studio City Tattoo because I'd heard great things about it and wanted to make sure I was going somewhere clean and professional for my first tattoo. I had to call quite a few times and was told to call back repeatedly before I could finally make an appointment. When I did get through, a girl who doesn't work there answered the phone and didn't write my name down so when I got...
If any of you are smart you will go to studio city tattoo..whether its ur first tattoo or your last. i first found out about the place by my sister because she used to work next door and went by Nick for her piercings, then i started to go by him and have never been to a different piercer since that day. The shop has a pirate theme and always has awesome music goin on with a sh*t load of jewely f...
After reading lots of positive reviews, I went to Studio City Tattoo yesterday for my first ever tattoo. I actually walked in to make an appointment on the Tuesday night, and I received my tattoo on the Wednesday, less than 24 hours later. I heard people saying this place can get busy, but they were able to fit me in at very short notice. My tattoo artist was a little late for our appointment, bu...
I went here to get my 2nd tattoo after 12 years. I decided to have my children's names tattooed on my calf. I will now be going back to have my entire back covered in giant wings. The shop is really cool, but I was most impressed with the level of professionalism from the employees. The reason it took my 12 years to get another tattoo is because my first artist intimidated me, but Studio Ci...
So today (5/14/07) I got my first tattoo. In general I have never seen a level of professionalism in a business like I saw today. I was nervous to say the least, but the guy who did my tattoo, Connor, was awesome. Before we got started he said if I felt faint in the least to let him know and we'd take a break. Funny enough, I did begin to feel faint, Connor was quick to stop, get me a cup of wat...
I am originally from Arizona and my first 6 tattoos were done by different artists in the Phoenix area who either left the state or the business. When I moved to California I was concerned about finding someone to touch up my old work and begin my new work. It was a fortunate accident that I went into Studio City Tatto with a friend that wanted a tattoo last year and I haven't gone anywhere e...
I have a few friends who have gotten work done here and on Thursday night my friend and I went in and got some small pieces of work done ourselves. The wait was not bad, the service is friendly, honest, and sans b.s. Mark hooked our asses up with our first tattoos and 2 days later we don't have any swelling, crusty stuff or regrets. This place is super clean, not shady at all, and they take prid...
So I came on a busy Sunday night with no appointment, but Todd squeezed me in and even stayed late for me (thanks Todd!). He really made an effort to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Very nice guy! I was surprised how quickly he was done and how little it hurt, and I was so impressed with the end result! Much better than I had imagined! In fact, Todd was so good, I went back for more! We are...
What makes this an outstanding place is that it's not an intimidating atmosphere but you will be working with some of the top tattoo artists and piercing experts around. I've had my nose pierced here (not painful actually, just makes the eyes water a bit!) and had a small tattoo by Mark and a very cool Chinese dragon on my forearm designed and done my Cap'n Dave. I can't see the small one (on m...
So after 14 years of tattoo collecting- I'm home!!!! I've worked in shops and been a fixture in others over the years, and Studio City is the best I've seen. I've seen some scurvy hack shops and some that were decent, but this one is immaculate. Usually, the problem I have is in securing an artist that I respect as a person. Ability is obviously of the utmost importance, but if you're going to hu...
Mark is a top notch tattoo artist. Careful, professional, and REALLY TALENTED! I love the decor of the place and everything is really CLEAN. Nice owner. A+
This was my first tattoo and I was nervous, but CONNOR was there to save the day! He was always checking to make sure I was ok! He did my tattoo fast and he also did a great job!! If your looking for a clean and fun place to get your tats - you gotta come here!!
I would get tattoo'd by any artist there!!! Very clean and friendly environment. I've become addicted to getting tattoo's not only cause I love the art, but because I love being at the shop!!! Awesome location too! Sometimes parking is a bit difficult, but that's only cause the shop is so popular! Everyone wants in!!!!
Stopped in a few days ago to get some work done. They got me in that afternoon, and Connor did a GREAT job for me. It's a fun place, and best of all they charged a fair price. I plan on returning and recommend anyone check this place out... I couldn't be happier w/ the experience.
...at least that's what people are telling me! ;-}
I came to the shop last weekend for my very 1st tattoo.
Todd T. was my artist and he blew me away.
All I had was a small, blurry pic on my phone and he transformed this vision into a fabulous work of art.
I could not be happier.
It exceeded all my expectations.
Todd was friendly, talented, quick and most of all precise.
Thanks for the wond...
The shop has a really cool pirate theme layout that gives you something to focus on while needles stab you repeatably :) Everyone is really friendly and will make conversation, no ice breakers necessary. Everythings very clean and organized so cleanliness isn't even a concern. There's alot of artwork to sample but the guy did a great job drawing out what I wanted from a combination of 2 pictures ...
This place not only does great tattoos, but you can shop while your friend gets tattooed or pierced. Great selection of jewelry and trinkets to choose from . I went for a tattoo and left with a skull ring!!!!
Mark did a great job on a nasty cover up , and Dana left me with a freaky scary spider that gets tons of comments . Plenty of parking and great food next store at Rockin Sushi.
Ye Olde Tattoo shoppe is Studio City Tattoo.Please read the review for Studio City Tattoo .Studio City Tattoo "Ye Olde Tattoo Shoppe"
First impressions was that this was a clean, nicley layed out shop (with a pirate theme) Very cool even to just walk in and check out.
The website is done with care and made me comfortable to go in and talk to the guys as well. After getting help from Mark,we made an appointment.
Mark turned out to be one of the most talented artists I've had the pleasure of getting inked from. Not only was...
Captain Dave is a creative tattoo genius! He tranformed my neck and back cover-ups into a colorful blended masterpiece. About a two ago I stumbled upon this shop by chance and Captain Dave covered-up a cheesy tattoo on my neck. Recently I decided it was time to work on my back cover-up and Captain Dave was the only obvious choice. I wanted to two to look uniform and balanced. He was able to ...
I heard about Studio City Tattoo here at City Search when I looked up "the best tattoo shop in LA" on Google. The reviews and awards match perfectly with the service, cleanliness, and artistry of SCT. I got my first tattoo on my left wrist yesterday. I was lucky enough to get it done as a walk-in and it came out PERFECTLY. Mark was my artist- he made a lot of helpful suggestions to my own work an...
This place is great! I got a tattoo somewhere else in LA several years ago. I had never been happy with it and I finally decided to do something about it. I went in and talked to Todd about what I was trying to do- an alteration or cover-up. He drew an amazing piece of artwork that I knew I'd be happy to have on my body for the rest of my life! I went back a few days later to have it done a...
I got my second tattoo ever by Connor in January 2007. I was so impressed and exciting with his creativity that I had three more done within 5 weeks. His shading work is unmatched and I am designing another tattoo so I can go back. As a tattoo fanatic, it is almost the pain we love as much as the end result... you all know what I mean! Ask for Connor... and don't make any Canadian jokes, lol.
I set up an appointment with Mark a month ago for last night(mostly because of my schedule time restraints combined with his). After much anticipation, I am pleased to say my custom floral piece came out rockin! I chose to do a large White Lily and Red Poppy on my left forearm(going back for the right). The detail is amazing, shading looks awesome, and he worked really well with white ink(a.k.a. ...
I would only trust this place to get pierced or tattooed. I have been coming here for many years, they have always made me feel very welcome. Ask for Clay!!!
My first piercing was a monroe (upper lip) and Studio City Tattoo (especially Nick, the senior piercer) made me feel really comfortable. I was really nervous, but Nick was very professional and he calmed me down and did the piercing as quickly as possible. It didn't hurt at all, not even afterwards. If I lived in CA I would go to Studio City for all my future piercings.
I was visiting from out of town and had a small time-frame to work with to get my tattoo done. Calling ahead to make an appointment was a smart move. The person on the phone even suggested a consultation visit first before the actual appt. but I couldn't fit it in. I had original artwork that I wanted done and Todd was great in adapting some of the details to be "tattoo friendly". I was in t...
I was worried about getting my first tattoo. I wanted my tattoo to be special. I looked around and found Studio City Tattoo "Ye Olde Tattoo Shoppe". I checked them out and found that the artists were talented and friendly.Todd was my tattoo artist .Todd was so friendly! He worked on my drawing until I was happy with it. I was nervous so I might have been stalling with the art corrections but Tod...
great designs. people here are a trip in incognito good fun. great atmosphere. thanks for the message, rappin' MC666: i thought i smelled something fishy: it must be my burning tattoo. pay attention and listen to these beats; sick, embedded and implanted designs that lasts a lifetime, more than meets the eye designs. pay fairly for more than normal tatto work. rad tattoo Agency.

I went to Studio City Tattoo to have my 7th piercing done: a V. Hood piercing done by Nick. It was honestly the best piercing experience of my life. The studio has a very cool pirate theme and TONS of jewelry to choose from. The best part of my experience was the compassionate way Nick handled my piercing. I was a bit nervous and he constantly checked with me to make sure I was OK with every...
I have had several friends go to Dave and get tattoos that ranged from nautical stars to freehanded works of art, like mine Dave did about 3 years ago! I've received so many compliments on my tattoo that I am always promoting Studio City Tattoo and tell everybody I know ask for Dave. I will be back in soon so Dave can work some magic on another tatto of mine that he UNFORTUNATLEY did not do or...
After 12 piercings, I definitely know what to look for in a piercing establishment, and this place has it all! First of all, cleanliness, second of all, knowledgable staff. Can't get by without these two. And to boot, they were friendly and down-to-earth as well, which you don't often find in piercing/tattoo parlors. Ryan (my piercer) was extremely professonal and easy to talk to. I've had all...
So this was my first time getting a tattoo and after searching many a tattoo parlor i came upon this one. All i can say is that I highly recommend, the staff is great as well as the talent. My artist was Dana and i was amazed at what he did for me. Ill be coming back for the rest of color and future tatts.
I had a hard time finding a good place in LA for piercings, but I loved this place. I went in to repierce my nose, and I was very happy with my experience. The people knew their stuff, and everyone was super friendly. After getting my piercing, I felt super lightheaded, but Matt and Mark held me up with their big strong arms and stayed with me until I was okay. haha. Very good experience, very...
Dana who just recently came aboard, is by far one of the most talented tattoo artist I have had the pleasure being tattooed by. He is a professional who takes his work seriously and understands the aesthetics behind tattooing. What makes getting a tattoo here different is that the decor is magnificent. I am not sure who put it all together, but it looks like the work of a top notch production des...
I think that if you go anywhere else you are not only a scaliwag but also a loser with really bad taste, if you know anything about GOOD body art you know Studio city will help all your needs for not only ink, but pircing as well. A true ink feak knows to let a pirate handle your skin. ARRRG
Seems like I've known these guys for years and year. I've got about 9 hours worth of ink from Josh at Studio City Tattoo. His philosophy is that he will aways try to outdo himself from one tattoo to the next. I have gotten so many compliments on my tattoos, always a pleasure. I'll be back for more in the near furture. Clay, Josh, guys, keep up the great work! ~ Robin
I've gotten my last five tattoos at SCT, and I continue to refer my friends and family. Everyone who has worked on me has been fabulous! It also helps that a bunch of hot dudes work there, but that's not why I go...
Kewl! Mark did a little heart on my lady's ankle that turned into a really creative custom and one-of-a-kind piece of art! It's the only one like it in the world...until she shows it off and tells who did it for her.... Mark... get ready for a line to form at your door.. you treated her with respect and did an outstanding job in the process... the whole show was pro from start to finish! Thanks, ...
Cant say i have found a cleaner shop. friendly staff and just plain old awesome
This was my first tattoo and I picked this place because of the reviews on Citysearch, and all the reviews were right, the place is incredible. Caleb did a tattoo of two butterflies on my lower back and he really kept me relaxed and constantly asked how I was doing. The place is very clean, very and and everyone was friendly. The tattoo looks great and the whole experience was wonderful, highly r...
Awsome collection of pirate and nautical Jewelry. Skull rings standard earrings as well as piercing . Great location, friendly staff.
I have gotten just about every piece of ink on my body here and do not plan going anywhere else. The artists are very talented and the shop is very clean and inviting. Always a pleasure to visit!
From what I have seen(and I have spent plenty of time in tattoo shops), Studio City Tattoo is one of not only the cleanest, but the most traditional olde school tattoo shops I have come across in a very long time.
A lot of people say I look like Karl Rove. So I decided to get a Vice Presidential seal put on my left arm. I looked up Studio City Tattoo here on citysearch.com. I was pleasently surprised when I walked in to a immaculately clean tattoo shop. I must say I had doubts beforehand about the cleanliness of a tattoo shop but Studio City proved them all false. Mark looked up the Vice Presidential Seal ...
and its sitting right in the valley, I may be bias but I feel that Clay has taken his shop and Staff to the top level. I've been a client of this Studio since its inception and I've seen it grow to its current status. All the artists there are top flight, I personally have all my work done by Capt Dave who has put better than 70 hours of work on my body and I'll keep coming back. For anyone out t...
I went to SCT to get my first 3 piercings earlier today. I got my naval and nipples done. I was really nervous going in but Clay made it a very nice and relaxing experience. It was quick and almost painless. I would definitely recommend Studio City Tattoo to anyone. If you are getting your first piercings or additional ones, i strongly suggest going to SCT.
Anyone please go and check this place out they do great work they are clean, friendly
and truly care about there customer's you could not ask for a better place to go.
They are very nice & treat you like you are the one !!.
I was scrolling through myspace the other day and came across marks profile. He had a bunch of comments from people he had tatooed and they all seemed to love his work so I went in and had a butterfly done on my shoulder. Well It came out really really good. Mark is really artistic not to mention cute (too bad he's engaged). But if you want a great tattoo go see him, just don't ask him on a date ...
Fantastic crew and atmosphere. knows all the laws. Will consell young people about having tattoos before hand. civic minded owner participates in chamber of commerce events and charities. A++++ rating inside and outside the shop.
All I can say is this place ROCKS!!! The art that comes out of this place is insane! I have had Capt. Dave do a few pieces on me and he is sleeving my leg as we speak. Every employee I've met there is very friendly. They all make you feel comfortable whether it's your first or 10th tattoo. They are honest and will give you their opinion if it's asked for. I will NEVER go anywhere else! The place ...
I got a gift certificate (which came in a kick ass message in a bottle) for Christmas. I went in with some ideas and Mark, created exactly the tattoo I was looking for. It looks great, it was painless and the guys there were awesome.
I will definitely be back.
yesturday my best friend and i had an apt. with mark at 4pm... we didnt start tattooing until around 7:30pm.. yes mark can take awhile..haha... but hes cares about what you want and how the tattoo will lay on a persons body.. so he takes his time in getting the peice u want right.. all day my friends and i hung out with the guys at the shop... they are awesome to just chill with and very talented...
Mark--the master artist--does amazing work! He also has the talent to crack you up while he's working, so the pain ain't too bad. His female groupies/fan club might stop to chat with everyone, which is another nice distraction while you're in the chair getting worked on. All the guys/staff there are really nice and helpful. Great atmosphere and fair prices. I will definitely be going back for som...
All the the guys are great to be around and make the pain of tattoos easier with their sense of humor. Mark is the greatest. I can't wait to come back!!!!!
This place is the best..! I got my 2nd tatoo here. They helped my draw it out, thier so nice and helpfull here. My bro got his lip pierced, also my fiance aswell as his friend got tattoo's... We all just keep coming back, I wouldn't want 2 go anywhere else. They were busy the time when I came in w/ my fiance and his friend it was around 10 and he wanted 2 get a tattoo. The place statyed open till...
Ok, so a tattoo meant a lot to me, so I shopped around. I was so let down at how unapproachable shops were. But Studio City Tattoo was different. They actually talked with me and made me feel really comfortable. Now, I send all my friends there. It is the cleanest shop I found, and was happy I chose them! Thanks, Guys!
The Studio Crew extremely helpful and informative. They keep their shop clean and have a professional attitude.
Me and 3 of my girlfriends just got tattoos on the backs of our necks on Friday 13.
Caleb was our tattoo artist. He's a great artist and made our day one to always remember. Loved the place so much I made an appointment for my husband the following day!! A wonderful experience. I can't wait for my next one at STUDIO CITY TATTOO!!! Go there!! You won't be disappointed!
Coming to this tattoo shop was the best decision I could have made regarding my tattoo. All of the guys were really cool but especially Mark and one of the piercers gave me some great advice on my second tattoo. Then that same day Mark was able to fix my first tat giving me something even better than what I could have hoped for from any other shop that I had seen. Not to mention all the cool logo...
I know a friend that got her sleeve done at this tattoo parlor. It is one of the best sleeves I've ever seen. I definately recommend going here.
Clay was superb in reding my tat and bringing a very old mans tat to life...thanks guys
Liam
i have pretty much gotten all of my tattoos done by josh at studio city tattoo. he is amazing , i wouldnt trust anyone else.
this was one of the best shops i have been through for streaching my ears.... awesome
What a great place youll love it its a way of life!!!!! the happiest tattoo shop on earth
I got my first tattoo on Friday at SCT, and everything was perfect! Mark is a great artist with a great sense of humor (took my mind off the pain). The entire staff is friendly and laid back, and the place was so clean! They have absolutely everything you would want in a tattoo experience. I will definitely come back when I decide to get another tattoo, and I will refer all my friends!
I had never been to a tattoo parlor before, but the reviews on Citysearch convinced me to check out SCT. I was nervous at first about going to a tattoo parlor, but when I found it, I was so relieved! The staff was AMAZINGLY helpful and welcoming and the customers were more than happy to chat with me about their tattoo and piercing experiences. I went in to get Nick to fix my ear lobes because the...
SCT was quite the experience for me. It got my first tattoo there on my neck and its groovy as...i absolutley love it! The staff was super cool and friendly! Thanks so much Studio City TAttoo!
This shop has tattoo artists who have won diffrent awards. Great place to get tattooed. Great enviornment, friendly people, and a kick ass website.
I got my first tattoos here from Captain Dave and absolutely fell in love with everyone in the shop. It's very clean, professional and the staff always gives me a good laugh. I can sit and stare at their fishtank forever. We just had a baby too and Studio City Tattoo way quite accomodating while my hubby got his neck down. We heart you SCT!
I went there about a month ago and had a great experience. The Pirate theme is cool and all.. but whatever.. the talent is what youre looking for and its top-notch. I took a few real pics to mark and he also searched around on the subject matter. After a while he came up with a Tat bigger and better then I had imagined. What he drew out was amazing and it really looks great. The best thing was th...
Everytime I come to the shop I am welcomed by the friendly staff and intrigued by the fascinating pirate memorabilia. The shop is creatively decorated and ingeniously displays a vast selection of the highest quality body jewlery. You are immediatly put to ease by the immaculate shop where the staff takes sanitation seriously. The tattoo artists and piercers are truely masters of their trades and...
whether it's flash or custom work you want, the studio city tattoo artists will do right by you. the whimsically fun and friendly atmosphere of the shop is as much a part of your tattooing experience as is being in the chair of one of the professional artists that make up the SCT family. the friendships you'll make here are as addictive as the ink they'll put in your skin.
Capt. Dave is a great and talented guy. He has inked me and has spent some serious time on sleeving my husband, to much time ! But the quality he puts into the work I see keeps all of us coming back for more. We will continue to send all of our friend to SCT and thanks for the insane work !!!!
I just had a tatoo on my chest done at this shop. It was an excellent experience. My tatoo artist was Mark and he did a great job, I'm going to get some more done at that shop real soon.
Great art for life,an opportunity to own a piece of art that is always on display.also a fun and interesting experience especially with the friendly and talented staff on hand.Also has terrific links on web site.
thanks,
Micko
These dudes are top notch here at SCT. If you are looking to have fun and get your body cover with some ink, kick it here. Clean, respectful -- check them out.
I've been to these guys for three tats over the past 8 years. They are awesome. My newest piece was an original. Caleb was my artist, he's the newest guy and I love the work he's done. It took me three sessions cause it's a 1/2 sleeve. But it's so beautifuul and Caleb takes such pride in his work! It's wonderful! Oh yeah while I was there I had Clay peirce my ear as well. He's a loveable ge...
Studio city Tattoo is more like disneyland than your run of the mill tattoo parlor. From its piratey theme to is friendly and helpfuly skilled crew, They're sure to make a mark on your map the second you walk in. Hands down some of the most gifted artists work there and their reputaion reflects that. Weather its a tattoo or piercing you are looking for, you are in good hands and are guarenteed to...
I was very pleased with all aspects of the experience at Studio City Tattoo. It was my first tattoo and they did everything possible to make me feel comfortable and confident that my choice was the best for me. I highly recommend Studio City Tattoo for first timers or anyone looking for a tattoo.
I have had three EXCELLENT tattoo experiences at Studio City Tattoo. I recommend this shop to all my family and friends (most of them are repeat customers as well). The staff is very professional and patient, and the facilities are immaculate. The atmosphere is very cool and adds to the exciting experience. I highly recommend this shop!
Studio City Tattoo is impeccably decorated in its Pirate theme and quite comfortable to wait in. Josh Carter (my artist) and the rest of the staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable. The shop is staffed by the most creative and capable people I have ever seen. The artists are amazing, and Nick Annis is the best piercer I've had the pleasure of getting work from. Typically, there is a signi...
I had a truely excellent first tattoo experience! The tattoo artist did a fabulous job and I love my tattoo! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone, especially to someone who's never gotten one & might be nervouse. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they made me feel very comfortable and welcome.
SCT was recommended to me by a friend. Shop was very clean, staff was very nice and informative, and piercing was painless... I would definatly recommend them to others or return at anytime for future piercings or tattoos.
I searched on the internet for a tattoo shop when I wanted to get one. I visited this place and let me tell you that it was a really fun experience. the place has a pirate theme so it's really cool. The place is really really clean so I didn't fear to catch anything and the guys are professionals! The wait can be long... but totally worth it!
The most impressive and fun place you'll ever visit. I have never been to a tattoo shop that was so creatively thought out! The Pirates of the Caribbean decor/theme is amazing, it looked like a big budget movie set. Every wall is covered in cool objects and the design is phenominal. It's so well done - the best pirate theme you'll ever see. The staff there is very experienced and massively t...
I found this shop on City Search and decided to check it out. The guys were friendly and cool. The shop was immaculate. Not only did I get a nice tattoo but the jewelry selection is amazing. I really liked the atmosphere with the pirate decor. If you liked Pirates of the Caribbean as a kid you are going to love this place. I am going to make it a regular stop on my yearly vacation.Looking forward...
If you want a great tattoo or piercing then this is the place.It's Like getting tattooed in the Pirates of the Caribbean. The place is very nice and the artists are friendly. This shop has one of the largest jewelry selections around .I highly recommend this shop .
This place is clean and very cool but don't believe me, check it out for yourself. I was very happy with my tattoo and the service A+
I came into Studio City Tattoo pretty worried about getting my next piercing, because I heard that the Prince Albert was a painful one. Once I talked to Nick though, I felt at ease about the whole thing. I swear, I hardly felt the piercing, and it healed up sooo quick. He rocked!!!
Also, I couldn't believe the jewelry selection these guys had. They had everything, including jewelry for large...
A couple years back I got my first tattoo from Josh. I was very impressed by how bright and clean my tattoo healed. Since then I Have been tattooed by Josh many times and the results just keep getting better. He has recently done some movie portraits on me and they will be appearing in magazines very soon. His professional attitude and attention to detail make all the difference.
I went to SCT, got the kick ass tattoo I wanted and had a blast. Great Talent (Josh and Crew) Clean environment, Laid back atmosphere.
i went to SCT with some girlfriends and we had a blast. CLAY pierced us all and was totally cool and fun and very professional. thanks guys for a fun time and a new belly ring!
Went in to see if a tattoo could be fixed. The staff barely spoke to me and brushed me off. Negative experience and will never return nor recommend!
My artist (Josh) was great! He took the ideas that I had for my piece and made it into a real "work of art". The shop was very clean, even the dungeon. lol I'd recommend these guys to anyone as they made me feel very comfortable.
the workers are so friendly, that i felt right at home. they made me laugh and they took good care of me. best of all, my friend and my own tattoo came out looking spectacular. i will definitely go to the same place for future piercings or tattoos.
i literally just got home from getting some work done and had to come write up a review and let everyone know how great this shop is...my girlfriend got a piercing and her experience was great!...the atmosphere is a lot of fun, they played music i requested while i got my work done, EVERYONE was friendly, everyone was very professional and a lot of fun...the only downside to the evening was that ...
My last two tattoos have been from Studio City and they have turned out great! Nina is the very talented artist who did both of mine. She also did a fantastic cursed monkey on my fiance. Everyone in there is talented, though, and pretty friendly. Of course the pirate decor is awesome and Studio City Tattoo is just generally a great place to get a tattoo. A do highly recommend making an appoi...
Studio City Tattoo is impeccably decorated in its Pirate theme and quite comfortable to wait in. Josh Carter (my artist) and the rest of the staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable. The shop is staffed by the most creative and capable people I have ever seen. The artists are amazing, and Nick Annis is the best piercer I've had the pleasure of getting work from. Typically, there is a s...
my friends and i have all gotten tattoo's here its awesome!!! we wont dare go anywhere else. they make you feel right at home.
THIS is the BEST tattoo shop I have EVER been in! Clean, CREATIVE and so much fun! Wherever you look you can see something different!!! The decor is imaginative and wonderful, the staff is helpful - they even help you with your design creation too! If you stop in, you will go NO where else! The jewelry selection is top notch too! Gorgeous, trendy and worth every penny. The owner is really nice ...
Me and my husband have been going to Studio City Tattoo for about 2 years now and we could not be happier with the work they have done! I get nothing but positive comments from people who see the tattoos Capt. Dave has done for me and as soon as I have my baby I am going to have him do more work on my "one day" sleeve. The place is so clean and the decor is great- I tell all my friends to check t...
i would just go and hang out at this place, its that comfortable.
super clean, very talented, everyone i know will only go here from now on.
awesomely friendly people, mark and ryan are great!
studio city tattoo rocks overall, in tattoos as well as piercings. they employees are extremely nice and make you feel very comfortable. i was very pleased with the service there and have loved every single one of my tattos and piercings. i will definitely keep going there as will most of my friends. i couldn't be more pleased with the place.
What a great bunch of guys. A very easy going and pleasant experience. The artwork is grand and they all have some great ideas. Mark is a blast to be around. Even for the first timer, you couldn't be in better hands. Clean, well organized shop. I have gotten two tats and will be going back for more
I have reffered many people to Studio City Tatooand will continue to reffer more people. They have mad there shop into a great atmosphere.
Fabulous experience, we loved the pirate theme. Very clean and professional. Mark took his time with us (we got a set of matching tats). My first tat was a great experience, I'll be back!
I have gone here for two tats, and over the years they just keep getting better... and not just the cooler digs! First timers and hardcore will find it's a safe and groovy shop with very talented peeps. I have sent my friends over the years and they all say the same thing... "This place rocks!"
The artwork was to my specifications and turned out excellent! The professionalism in the shop was quality and personable. They take time with you and don't rush anything!
The artist's follow up with you to ask how the healing is going and if they see you back in they check their work and offer touch ups (if need be). They like what they do.
I loved the experience I had at Studio City Tattoo. It was my first tattoo and a friend of mine referred me to them. It was a great experience. The staff was pleasant to work with and I had no problems at all with my tattoo healing. I live in the Fresno Area and would drive back there without hesitation to get my next tattoo. They are fantastic.
These guys made me feel like I had known them for much longer than I actually had. This is a good thing.
Studio City Tattoo has the best atmosphere for a tattoo shop. It was recommended by my cousin. I was in town visiting from PA. I can say that I will never go anywhere else. The guys at the shop were really nice and personalbe and have amazing talent! I've recommend Mark to a ton of people!

I was in California visiting a friend and wanted a 4th tattoo. The places I went for the previous tattooes were nice, but Studio City Tattoo if by far the best place I've gone for a tattoo and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
This place is so good!! My body started to reject one of my piercings, but they gave me new jewlery for free, and helped it heal better, and now its perfectly fine! it was an awesome experience... where else can you go to get some holes/ink on your body with the pirate experience
I first went to Studio City tattoo several years ago to get my nose pierced. Clay did a wonderful job. I was impressed at who clean and sterile everything was. I've returned several times to buy body jewelry. This summer, I ventured into tattoos. I got an awesome design by Mark. Everyone was very comforting about getting my first tat- by everyone I mean the staff and all the customers that w...
I have consistantly recieved great and reliable service and quality. So much, in fact, that I've used Studio City Tattoo on numerous occasions and recommended them to several of my friends.
Very Friendly and very clean!!!! They did AMAZING work on my tattoo, and the atmosphere is so unique and inviting. You guys RULE!
Both my tattos, and any future tats will be done in this store. I chose designs that were in my head and 2 separate artists created exactly what I wanted out of very little information from me. A friend had recommended Studio City Tattoos because she had gone in and asked all the questions you would ever want to know and every answer was what she wanted to hear and my first session was also her...
Mark did a badass job on my tattoos. Skilled and detailed.
this place rocks. i have been going for just over a year, and every time i go, i end up having such a good time and laughing so much that i completely forget about the pain of getting tattooed. my artst, josh carter, is truly exceptionally talented. the amount of attention the tattoos he has done on me have gotten is really incredible, and every time someone asks, i am always quick to sing the...
The place is super clean, like a pirate ship crashed into and invaded a Doctor's office. This is my shop for as long as they want me coming back. Mark is the man! He will always hook you up!
I have gotten my tattoos there and plan to get all of my future tattoos there. Really kool looking place with all the pirate stuff. Also very very clean and comfortable place. You have to see the big headed fish!!!
Lots of shops are too macho and women feel uncomfortable in them. I felt right at home at Studio City Tattoo (the pirate theme is great,), the guys are respectful, I got a wonderful tattoo from Nina, great woman artist, and I found the owner, Clay, to be polite and professional. Great aftercare instructions for the tattoo and the piercings I got. Count me as a return customer.
I was recommended to check out Studio City Tattoo by a friend that had some work done there. And I was thoroughly impressed. Excellent staff, very friendly and informative, and awesome environment. (Clay, I love what you've done with the place!) I've gone there for my first piercing and all my piercings ever since! They are the only ones I trust! I still go back every now and then to say hi...
Cpt. Dave does a great job, wouldnt think of anyone else inking me, shop is insane, sterile and a great atmosphere. Keep up the good work and thanks for the ink !
Though you can get a hansome cupcake tattooed on your ass, I wasn't serious. Whatever it is you're looking for, go here first. The best artists, the best piercers, and they have swords!!!! To amplify the extremity of my faith in this shop, I live in san francisco, and I refuse to go anywhere else but studio city tattoo.
cheers,
kenya
One of the best tattoo shops I've found. Set up in pirate motif, Studio City Tattoo is an experience worth going out of your way to get. And the quality, talent and expertise is far superior to other shops I have visited.
Great lil tat2 studio, amazing artist, very clean and cool pirate theme.. Arrrggg. :)
I love going in to studio city tattoo.Every one there is so pleasant to be around not to mention it is extreemly clean.The talent that comes out of this shop is unbelievable.The pirate look is like walking on to a disney set .They are also osha cal certified WOW!
I will never look at tattoo shops the same again.they have realy raised the bar on this one

Nice shop. Somebody paid attention to the details. High end details. Very, very clean.
This place is first rate. You woulden't think a tattoo place would be so nice.I am the electrican that has done work there. If I ever wanted a tattoo this is the place I would go.
Finally! Upscale tattoo and piercing. Really fun to go to, lots to look at, not your usual tats on the wall kind of place. Even if you aren't going to get a tattoo, you need to see the attention to detail they've gone to. I felt instantly at ease. Everything autoclaved and super clean. Got a tattoo and a piercing and was super pleased with both. Thanks!
I visited Studio City Tattoo to just check out the scene, and was really impressed by their layout and procedures for making sure the equipment they use is clean and sterilized.
The shop owner, Clay, actually took the time to explain the process to me (I'm new to it!) and it reminded me of how medical offices sterilize their equipment.
I highly recommend the shop to ANYONE who is considerin...
I was impressed with how clean the place is. Everything protected and autoclaved, even the bathroom was spotless. Really great JEWELRY that I haven't seen anywhere else. A great place to hang while you decide what you want.
This shop is a nice change from the usual sleeze shop. Very clean, unusual jewelry, and they understand the ins and outs of what you want. Very pro.
