Black Pearl Tattoo Santa Cruz

I can’t say enough good things about Bonnie at Black Pearl Tattoo.

I came in needing a really difficult cover-up, and honestly, I wasn’t sure what was even possible. Bonnie completely blew my mind with the result. She took something I wanted to hide and turned it into a true work of art.

Her talent, attention to detail, and ability to reimagine the piece went way beyond my expectations. On top of that, she made the whole experience comfortable and collaborative from start to finish.

I’m incredibly grateful I found her. If you’re even thinking about getting a tattoo especially a cover-up go see Bonnie. I recommend her to everyone.

A friend and I both got our septums pierced here by Kelsey. She walked us through the process, answered all of our aftercare questions, and was overall welcoming, helpful, and efficient. The piercings look great. She is fabulous!

We went to see Kelsey at Black Pearl for my 6 year old daughter's first ear piercing. Kelsey was so amazing!!! She was patient, knowledgable and just a total rock star. She made the whole experience stress-free and special for our daughter. She has a natural ease and calmness when working with children. If you are looking to get your kiddo's ears pierced, look no further! You won't be disappointed!
