“I saw Anvil's booth at the Seaside Tattoo Expo in Ventura and was taken with Kathleen's work. I'd been kicking around an idea for months, but hadn't found someone I thought would do it well. I had an idea that combined realism, geometric abstraction, and watercolor techniques. I didn't have the design, but I had an idea and some examples showing different elements of what I wanted. Kathleen took it and ran with it, putting together a design even cooler than I imagined! This was my first tattoo and she made the process as effortless as possible. Five and a half hours in the chair and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Will definitely be looking to get more with her. The studio itself was really clean and the vibe was very cool. Lots of talented people there.“

“I had 2 dermal piercings, and the guy was really professional. Practically painless visit“

“Where do I start! Lena is amazing and so talented. 1st she tattooed my eyebrows, which look fabulous. She listened and gave me great suggestions. She's very patient and professional. She's very friendly and makes you feel comfortable in her space. I'm saving for her lip blush tattoo. But today I treated myself to her permanent bracelet and looks adorable! I highly recommend Lena. She's amazing!“

“Love this place. Got my first few tattoos here with Jay few months ago and I had a really great experience. I was a little nervous for the pain (I'm scared of needles) but I was suprise at how it feels kinda good lol. Jay really let me take my time with my designs and placement and the shop is really clean and tidy. I checked out some other local shops and tbh can't say they're as clean. Playink is the place to go! I went back a few weeks ago for a larger piece and again had a great experience from Jay, Jojo, and Lexi. Ended up getting an additional flash while I was there. I've recommended to all my friends and plan to go back soon whenever I decide on my next design.“

“This place is truly one of kind. The artist that work there are so polite, respectful, and funny. Red did my tattoo to honor my mom and she killed it!! I love it and can’t wait to go get another tattoo. Thank you so much.“

“Specialities: Came here to get my family seal redesigned and tattooed, and Xiao did a fantastic job executing the concept.

Cleanliness: The studio is spotless with a high standard for hygiene.

Stylist: Xiao Lun was very professional and quick with her work. She’s gentle with her needle and clean with her strokes.“

“AMAZING!!! My dream has been to get a tattoo for my 18th birthday and this was by far the best place to do it. It has a super chill and supportive vibe, and he's very caring (especially with newcomers). I RECOMMEND HIGHLY to get tattooed here!!! My first tattoo went beautifully and I even got to take my stencil home. I loved every second here!! Definitely will be coming back!!“

“Wow! Kesha is the best! I was shocked how you can be comfortable with lash extension. I have never liked lash extension before I met her! So soft, light, natural. I got so many compliments. Any size, shape what ever you want. I didn't know what's good for me, because i don't like when it looks too heavy or super artificial, or when feels kinda prickle. She did so good. I refill every two weeks now, so happy to have such professional lash master. Thank you!“

“Got work done with Alex Gonzalez today. Found him work on Instagram under alex_holiday . Had talked to him on there and he made it easy to communicate with and so I came in with an idea and a reference and he blew it out of the park! The tattoo came out amazing and I'd definitely recommend checking him out and getting so.e work done by him. Also the Playlist today was perfect for the vibe.“

“Will Meng is an amazing tattoo artist if you want japanese or chinese traditional tattoos, his style is classic but unique. He's detail oriented, and his ink goes down smoothly. The whole studio is world class, and offers a wide variety of styles.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of getting four tattoos done by Yuan since 2021, and I can confidently say her artistic knowledge and skill are unparalleled. Having been tattooed by artists from various places, I can truly appreciate Yuan’s incredible talent. Her attention to detail, especially with placement and symmetry, has been invaluable and has greatly helped me make informed decisions about something as permanent as a tattoo. Yuan’s expertise, professionalism, and creativity make her an exceptional artist. If you’re looking for a reputable, talented tattoo artist who truly cares about her craft, I highly recommend Yuan!“

“Pinky’s so amazing definitely the BEST piercer in town !! Such a great experience here !“

“Jude was amazing and brought my vision to life. It was my first tattoo and he did such an amazing job with the details and overall just a great first tattoo experience!“

“I wanted to make a quick appointment and I appreciate their responsiveness. The owner connected me with Kevin and Kevin worked with me on the design I wanted. Kevin is a great artist and my tattoo came out perfectly. I'll definitely be coming back here to get my next one“

“Got my first tattoo here. Viviane (IronBb) did such an amazing job making my dream come to life. I’m very particular and detail oriented and Viviane not only helped me through the process, but went the extra mile to show me multiple options since I’m unable to visualize anything without seeing it on paper. Her care for her clients is obvious and I’m so glad I found her to do my first tattoo!“

“I got my very first tattoo here and honestly it was the best experience. Winnie was very careful and considerate on how I was feeling during the tattoo session. The tattoo and booking the appointment were very easy to schedule and did not take a long time. Inside the studio it is a very peaceful vibe. It was a pleasure getting my first tattoo here and I will be coming back for more.“

“I've had previous experience with microblading that left me unsatisfied. However, I recently learned about a new technique that offers a more natural look, so I decided to give it a try. Despite its higher cost compared to traditional microblading, the results were truly amazing. My experience here was fantastic! They took the time to thoroughly explain the process and worked closely with me to ensure I was happy with the outcome. They dedicated an hour to achieving evenness and precision, followed by two more hours for meticulous line-by-line work. Despite it nearing closing time, the artist didn't rush the process. She remained patient, ensuring the final result was even, straight, and entirely natural. I expressed my appreciation through a generous tip because of her patience. The entire staff was exceptionally kind. The only downside is that they primarily communicate in Chinese, and they only accept cash payments. No walk ins; by appointment only. Highly recommend this place and will be back for touch up!“
