American Ink Tattoo Studio

Love these guys! I just got my ears pierced. Dan took care of me. He took a lot of time to get things just right and was even able to spare me a piercing by opening a hole I thought was closed. Miguel is also very kind. I don’t have the courage to handle the ink, but I can’t say enough good things about their piercing service! Don’t waste your time at the mall. You need to come here!

Dan is such a great guy. Finding someone I trust to put a hole in my body (top of ear cartilage piercing) is no small feat and Dan was perfect. He took as much time as we needed to get everything just right. This place I highly recommend. (Ps my daughter got one too! So fun.)

Miguel was awesome! Super professional, quick and painless. He is super friendly and walked me through every step. Will definitely be back!

This place is great and Miguel is the man. Had some off and on issues with my nose ring and he hooked it up repeatedly. A couple weeks ago it was stuck and he helped me out for free. Highly suggest

My tragus piercing fell out and I’m as helpless as a child trying to put it back in. The guys here sold me a perfect replacement and put it in for me at no charge. A few weeks later I lost the other one so wash, rinse, repeat. I’m sure I’ll be back the next time I lose one.

This place is fantastic. Sometimes tattoo parlors can be intimidating, but the atmosphere was extremely welcoming right when I walked in. Dan helped me out immediately and I couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommended!!!

Great place, good energy and very clean and professional. Miguel pierced my ears and did a few other piercings for my friends I came with. I recommend going to him if you want anything pierced.

Dan & Miguel provided the best customer service, highly recommend, 5 stars on Ventura blvd

Dan you’re a rockstar, you created a masterpiece that, out of five, is my new favorite. Thank you for being sweet and illustrating my vision! See you very soon!

AMAZING Customer service! I got a tattoo in Jamaica and I got terrible aftercare instructions from my tattoo artist. When I got back to LA I was calling different tattoo shops asking if I can come in and get it checked out for infections and what to put on it and stuff and many would answer with something like, «sorry I’m tattooing right now, I’m pretty busy».
When I called America Ink, Dan was sooo supportive and even gave me his phone number to send him a picture. I visited the shop the other day to meet him and he’s a super chill dude and he offers the best customer service. I’ll be back here soon and get another tattoo. This is the spot for a clean tattoo and amazing customer service! Ask for Dan, he’s the man!

First time at American Ink. Loved the vibe and music. No wait time. Dan was very attentive and gave great advice on the art. He fixed some other tattoos. Can wait to get back for more American Ink
I fully recommend

I have been considering getting a small flower tattoo forever. I just turned fifty and felt I am ready for a small change for myself. The minute i walked into the shop, I felt so welcome by Dan and Tiny. The shop is spacious and clean with cool décor and love the music. I sat in the comfy chair trying to talk myself into it. Dan made me feel so comfortable and no pressure at all. I felt like I was talking to a good friend. He even alleviated my anxiety of potential pain by showing me the topical numbing cream if I needed.
I would recommend this shop to anyone.

Very clean shop– Dan helped me and he was great! He made me feel super comfortable and really listened to what I wanted. He didn’t try to rush me and I really felt like he understood what I wanted as far as my tattoo design and color. I really hope to be able to come back soon!

This is a place that you can trust with your skin. Good, knowledgeable, friendly staff of experts.

Came to check this place out and was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted immediately by someone. The shop was clean, the people working there were super friendly. My husbands tattoo artist even stayed a little later to finish the peice he was working on. He gave great suggestions of what colors would work best with my husbands darker skin and it came out fantastic.
The artist who worked on me was very sweet and patient. He fixed up an old tattoo that I have on my arm and breathed life back into it!
We will definantly be returning for our sleeves.

I came into American Ink. The shop is beautiful, right across from Guitar Center on Ventura Boulevard. Dan greeted us warmly, and he was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. I wouldn’t consider having a tattoo any other place but American ink! I had a great experience here.

These guys do a fantastic job.
Very personable, great line work, free touch ups.
They really care that you’re happy with your tattoo

I had an AMAZING experience here with Michael!
To give you background, I had an appointment set up elsewhere that was cancelled last minute, but I knew I was dying for my ink fix so I called shops in my area. Michael took the time to have a mini consultation with me on the phone and said he was willing to tattoo me that night (despite me being the asshole who comes in right before closing time asking for a large piece) Take it from a tattoo snob, this tattoo is perfection. He will seriously have a client for like. Polite, passionate, meticulously sanitary, and service oriented. This cat is a true artist.

Dan is definitely the man! Best tattoo experience out of all my others, they are very kind, really care about making your tattoo the way YOU want it. I was worried about angles and sharpness but they took their time to help, and Dan paid close attention to the sharpness, made truly happy. It’s a simple tattoo, but one that can be easily messed up, and he did an excellent job, I’ll definitely be back for my next piece…

I went into this shop for my 19^th birthday. I asked Rio to do diamonds on each of my hips. She was sweet, and comforting. The tattoo was SO painful, more painful than usual. She did the left side, went and did the right side, and when it was all done she realized she missed a spot and went BACK over the left side after it was bleeding and swollen. Worst pain I have ever felt.
I went home and cared for my diamonds as I have with all my other tattoos (which I have many) but I woke up the next day, and I broke out into hives. These hives spread all over my legs and stomach. The bumps grew MARBLE SIZED within 2 days. I asked her what happened she said it was my fault for not caring for it. I take GREAT care of my ink.
I went to the doctor. He saw the hives and was extremely alarmed. He sent me to a SURGEON. The surgeon told me I had MRSA, which KILLS people.
In the end, after great pain, bleeding, puss, doctor visits, cleansing, prescriptions. the diamonds healed. But they are blobs. They make me insecure everyday.
A shop in Moreno Valley is covering my blobby hip tattoos. Sucks I even had to cover them up at all.
