Best Tattoo Shops In Long Beach

“Good service! I got a eyebrow piercing and it was quick and easy! Definitely recommend.“

“This was the greatest tattoo experience of my life. The artist is an ARTIST and a kind person who worked with me to find the right design and size that I wanted. I sat for 3 consecutive days to get a half sleeve finished and fully enjoyed the conversation and brilliant work. I walked away with a great tattoo and friend. I fully intend to return one day for more ink and reconnection. Thank you Roman Ink ??“

“Loved this whole experience! Everything was sterile and organized. Splinter was very determined to make sure the tattoo was placed in the right spot to line up with the other tattoo I have on my opposite thigh.“

“I recently got my navel pierced and I couldn't be happier! The process was quick, professional, and much less painful than I expected. Angie made me feel comfortable and explained the aftercare clearly. I highly recommend this shop and Angie's assistance for anyone thinking about getting a piercing.“

“The owner of the catrin tattoo shop is really great at working with you and creating the tattoo you're dreaming of. He's super patient and professional, and he'll make sure your idea comes to life. Highly recommend him“

“I meant to post when I got my tattoo first done last Sept. 2023, but now my 5 star is also including a genuine I LOVE my healed tattoo as well! Danielle knocked it out of the park, it’s beautiful! I was excited when I saw a tattoo parlor was comin up around the corner from my house, and even more excited when I found out it’s woman owned, and DAMN she good! I referred a friend of mine who’s gone to her a couple times since, and I’ll definitely return!“

“Very inviting and chill Studio. All the artists here are clearly talented. I was attended by Braulio, His attention to detail and patience during the entire process put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend this Shop for everybody to experience.“

“I truly enjoyed coming to this specific shop. Everyone was very attentive amd sweet. U got my septum pierced and it has healed properly. Mari the pierced gave me all instructions how to take care of it properly. Not a wait, she had many style of beautiful piercings ? and she pierced with gentle hands, didnt hurt me at all. I will definitely come back and recommend this tattoe shop for piercings and tattoos.“

“Nina was nothing short of amazing! Her personality is everything! She made sure I was comfortable through the whole entire process and also made sure I wasn’t leaving that office until I was 1000 percent satisfied with my results! I recommend everyone to come to Nina if you want the perfect brows. Can’t wait to come back for my touch up.“

“I follow Jade Q. on Instagram...the artist I chose, the other artists present, as well as the vibe of the space, were ALL great and comfortable. All elements together put me at ease. I loved my experience at Breakwater and I say aye to all the great reviews posted prior to mine. I am ultimately grateful and will be back!“

“Jacob the Tattoo Guy, he is the tattoo artist that brought all my imaginations into reality! His shop has the super chill homey vibe; like you're hanging out on the couch watching Netflix with your friends and getting tattoos type vibe. A big majority of my tattoos have been inked from Jacob. With one of them being well over 10 years old, and that one is still super dark and bold till this day after all these years ! If you want a patient, considerate, and very steady-handed tattoo artist to work with, go to him ! He will work with you to bring any idea you might have to life :]“

“My brother and I were walking to a different shop for his first and my 6th tattoo. Along the way, we passed Halo and he remarked how nice it was inside; indeed! Clean, cute, bright. He did a quick review search-highly rated. We were getting small tattoos and already had our images downloaded on my phone, so Melanie made space in her afternoon (even though she had a client) and did our tattoos right then. She could not have been nicer and more professional. I have been tattooed in a few different local and higher end shops, and this was as good as they come. Great work, great energy, 10/10-will return!“

“Best tattoo experience I have had! My tattoo artist was John Hudic (check out his Insta! He has some serious talent!). John has been the only tattoo artist I have had who really took his time to understand what exactly I wanted (first through email and then through a sit down session). He really listened and even took the time to see some more inspiration pictures I had.
When I returned and he showed me his design, he even went away for a little to give me space and time to really look at the design to make sure I felt comfortable and liked it.
Overall, I think my tattoo took about three full-day sessions. John made the sessions super chill. I felt like I could joke around with him and just talk, but he was also chill when I wanted to just watch my shows on my phone or go to sleep for a little while.
The studio itself is super cool as well and I can tell all of the artists are super talented. They even have a room for the artists to just work on their creative project like paintings or sculptures. They are AMAZING!
I’m a girl and got my leg tattooed (from my hip all the way to my ankle) and although I think it may have been easy to feel some kind of way in some tattoo studios, here it felt super safe, chill, and fun. With John you are truly hiring an artist and a professional. Could not recommend him more! (PS, I get stopped all the time by people at the gym or out in the street asking me who did that specific tattoo ?)“

“Words cannot express how awesome my experience was for my tattoo, all thanks to Cierra (@C.Von.Art) !! I came to her with a vague idea and she really exceeded all expectations with it! From the idea to the stencil to the finished product. Her artistic ability is sensational. And she’s very patient, creative, and SO sweet/nice. Whether it’s your first tattoo or 100th, Cierra is full of ideas and creates a very welcoming/comfortable experience. I can’t thank her and Outer Limits enough! I’d rate this a 10/5 if I could :)“

“What a great experience. I have full sleeve for the most part; been getting inked for 30 years. Ray is an artist. Easy to work with. Great ideas and can lay the ink down! Bonus he’s is not heavy handed.“

“Quick and easy process! I had a nose piercing done recently and it went great! Steve provided professional and friendly service, in addition providing easy to follow instructions when treating your piercing. 10/10 would definitely recommend a friend!“

“nina did an amazing job piercing my eyebrow! was quick and easy didn’t even feel any pain! thank you so much!“

“We had a great experience at Port City Tattoo yesterday. John has been wanting to get his tattoo for a long time. Ben did a great job and was not heavy handed. I would go back again“

“Courtney was amazing. She brought the ideas I sent her to life to make a long wanted tattoo a reality. I visited the shop while visiting the area and Courtney made the process extremely easy. She reached out quickly after I submitted my request and was extremely efficient in our communication. The shop was clean, friendly, and welcoming. I enjoyed my visit and would highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a high-quality tattoo in Long Beach.“

“Had an amazing and easy experience! U have gotten both piercings and tattoos done here! Inwould recommend angone!“

“I got my first tattoos at this salon about a month ago and I keep going back to add more! The shop is clean and cool. The staff members are professional, funny, and highly skilled! My tattoo artist is name Frankie, and she is the best! She provided me with recommendations on the placement of tattoos and colors to enhance the look, and I am very happy with the results! Frankie was patient with me and answered all of my questions and addressed my concerns (and I had a lot) and I appreciate her very much! How Frankie tattoos the fine lines and long lines are precise and clean. Her shadowing and filling in with colors are done with great care! I think her tattooing skills are very diverse because she can do anime, traditional, and realistic artwork. Frankie responds back to texts and messages promptly when she can as she is very busy. If u want tattoos that u will be in love with, book an appointment with Frankie :)“

“What a great shop. Suzanne knocked it out of the park. Will absolutely be coming back.“

“love love love nicole, super dedicated and talented tattoo artist. she’s always super detailed with her process and super clean. always a treat to get tattooed by her.“
