“I have spent a lot of my life getting tattooed and this is the best shop I have ever been to. The artist are masters of their craft, people with passion and a deep understanding of Tattoos and the culture. Coming here you can be certain the artist is going to take care of you and the art. If you are looking for the best Traditional Japanese artist in town then walk on in and ask for Ross Vinstien. I have been working on my body suit with him for years and could not be happier with the results. If you are looking for real deal tattoos from the masters then this is the shop for you.“

“Amazing experience! This was my first tattoo session and I'm happy that it was here. Joaquin and the team welcomed me with open arms from the day of the consultation to the appointment date. Music was new age soft house, similar to the vibes of a hotel lobby. The space is clean, with artwork and high ceilings and great lighting. The session was quick and Joaquin went over every detail to make sure i was happy with the designs and placement. He also went over the instructions on how to care for the tattoo once finished. The people and the space make this spot hard to beat. I've already booked my next appointment. It's in the heart of Culver City so you're also surrounded by amazing restaurants, and only a few blocks from Apple and HBO HQ. Highly recommend!“

“I have nothing but good things to say about this shop. It’s beautiful and feels like a very safe space. I especially want to shout out my artist Lex. From the beginning she has been so kind and easy going. She makes the time fly by with great, genuine conversation. Lex makes the whole process so smooth. I have 3 tattoos done by her and will continue to come to her!! They are absolutely gorgeous! My favorite is the rose/555 in honor of my grandmother who recently passed. She made sure each one was exactly what I wanted. And never made me feel pressured! Thank you Lex and Opal Tattoo Studio for continuous great experiences. “

“My boyfriend got a nose piercing and it was his first piercing. Angel, one of the owners, was SUPER kind, patient, explained every step, let us pester him with questions, told us to call or come in with any questions or concerns. He also gave us a quick tour of the whole space and shared about how much he values family. Loved the family business vibes and dedication to personal attention. Great experience!!“

“I cannot begin to say enough about Kirk Alley. After the death of my father, I was looking to have a memorial piece done. I searched far and wide for the right person. I found Kirk's work to be absolutely stunning! I called him to make sure he was able to add some of my dad's ashes into the ink, he offered this service, and I immediately booked my session.When I arrived at his business, I had only known him as "Kirk Alley." To my surprise when I went inside, I saw that his business name actually included "11:11." While those numbers are significant to Kirk, they are extremely significant to me. I had truly found the artist I was supposed to be with!He took his time designing the memorial piece with a few small changes I wanted from multiple photographs I had brought in. I wanted it on my back, and I told him that he can go as big or small as he needs to--this is his area of expertise, and he can do whatever he needs to. We began the tattoo, and he was always checking in with me to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. The black and gray realism piece with a splash of blue is absolutely stunning, and ten years later, it is still in excellent condition with the ink holding strong.I went back a couple of months ago for a dedication piece for my mom. This one was a full-color realism and was a cover up of a bad mistake when I made a horrible decision to try another artist (woof! It was BAD). This new piece is on my foot and fades to the toes and fades just above my ankle--so it's big for that area. While there were a few times where the pain was nearly blacking me out, Kirk went as easy on me as he could while still producing a gorgeous work of art. The foot is an extremely sensitive part of the body to get worked on because it's all bone, and I'd have to say, I'd gladly do it again with him.Kirk is the perfect combination of being professional yet personable. His business is clean, and his walls are covered with his absolutely breathtaking artwork which is available for purchase. He returns messages in a timely manner, he is willing to create a one-of-a-kind design for you, or he will gladly tattoo your artwork you provide. He is meticulous, and his creativity has no end. He is a master of his art, and I would highly reommend him.Thank you, Kirk, for your beautiful artwork. I could not love both of the them more.“
