Laguna Ink Spot & Gallery

If you are looking to get a tattoo this is the place to go. Corey made getting my first tattoo easy, fun, and way less painful than I thought it would be. I was really nervous walking in but they made me feel comfortable with their laid back demeanor and reassuring words. They used newer equipment and organic products which made for a better experience! Chose Cast of Crown Art next time you need a tattoo, you won’t regret it.

I LOVE THIS PLACEEEEE. very welcoming, they actually made me feel comfortable! Corey did my tattoo and he did an amazing job. he was friendly and funny but also very professional and I love my new tattoo so much! I’m so glad that I chose to come here out of all places! I’ll be coming back for all of my future tats!!!

Such a cool concept, part art gallery part tattoo parlor. Tony is super clean, light handed, talented and not to mention a complete babe. Everyone knows what they’re talking about and goes the extra mile to extebd their knowledge on their craft, being current on fads and latest techniques. Getting a full sleeve with Tony is such a great experience, and I get the best compliments on my color and realistic looking work. Look no further, this man is a super badass! #getitdone

I went to Desi for my second nose piercing (left nostril already pierced, adding a right nostril piercing years later), and I couldn’t be happier. He was super helpful explaining symmetry in my facial piercings (and managing my expectations by being clear that with my particular piercings, perfect symmetry might not be possible) and helping me find the right spot for my piercing, plus choosing jewelry. I’ve now got 18 piercings (plus a few that I let go) and this was by far my best experience. The studio is gorgeous and I really appreciate their support of local artists at LCAD. Plus Desi’s operation is obviously top of the line sterile and professional. The way he explained everything made me feel very confident that he would do the procedure cleanly and safely, and his bedside manner has a really good energy. The piercing turned out exactly how I wanted it, and I feel great about the way it looks. Go to Desi!

I went with a friend so we could both get piercings. Desi Arellano did our piercings. He is meticulous with his sanitation and hygienic approach. He has a lot of beautiful jewelry to choose from and he is really knowledgeable about what he does. He took his time with us and we had great conversation while he explained everything we needed to know. I had a very good experience there and I wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Everything in the shop was clean, clean, clean.

Anthony did my tattoo in memory of my dad. Anthony was patient, professional, and created something that is just as amazing as my dad was.

Last weekend was my first time getting some work in this shop. Anthony is very professional. The shop is extremely clean and has awesome paintings from local artist. I have been getting tattooed for thirteen years and I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality of work coming out of Cast ofCrowns. Thanks Anthony

If you’re looking for an awesome tattoo shop with amazing artists look no further! The artists are laid back and super friendly and their work is impeccable! Beautiful shop/​art gallery in a cute little area of Laguna Beach. Made my 10^th tattoo experience my best thus far

I was in the Laguna /​Newport area and was contemplating getting a tattoo. I stopped at Cast of Crowns and the vibe was great! I had an idea, well actually a picture I had been carrying around for months. Corey was able to run with the idea and created something perfect for me! The talent is through the roof Cast of Crowns and the artwork on display is amazing. I would recommend you go in there no matter how big or small of art you want put on your body!

One word «Anthony».
As a fellow business owner (
) customer service is key of course along with Anthony having kick ass skills as not only a tattoo artist but also many pieces of art work displayed through his shop.
If you find his place on Unilocal.Stop searching and get in there. I know he will be crushing his trade for years to come.

I’ve had many tattoos in the past and I’m so glad I found this shop. Anthony Ianozzi was an awesome guy and a fantastic tattoo artist. I won’t trust anyone else with my future tattoos after going to him.

Toni is an Amazing artist. I had an old tattoo that I was not happy with and he did a fantastic job covering it up with a Toni original half sleve cover up of a huge kraken wrapping around my arm. If you want a great artist with a great vision go talk to Toni.

Anthony is a frigging legend!!! It was an honor to be tattooed by this man. If your looking for an artist that truly cares about his work, hands down, Anthony is the man! Not to mention a bad ass veteran.

Anthony Ianozzi is by far one of the most exceptional artists you will come across in the southern California area, in all mediums. For me, my tattoo work, it is the genuinely best and I receive nothing but compliments everyday and I personally couldn’t be happier with what he’s tattooed on me. Anthony as a person is just an outstanding human being of honest and trustworthy character. In addition, Cast of Crowns is a gorgeous gallery and a must see. I am a customer of both sides and recently aquired a piece from his gallery and couldn’t be happier with both of my experiences at Anthony Ianozzi’s Cast of Crowns.

Firstly, Anthony is an amazing artist and an even better human being. The man is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Don’t tell him this but he could easily charge double for his work! :P
Secondly, He’s not hard on the eyes!!! Cheoowww!
If you want quality, large scale work, at a reasonable price, in a wonderful location… go here!

If you’re serious about getting a tattoo definitely look into this shop! Anthony is an amazing artist. He puts his heart and soul into his work and it really shows. He caters to his clients individually, and makes sure to put them first.
I had two all-​day sessions with him and each sitting he answered all my questions and was beyond patient with me. His prices are fair and he’s the best in the business, hands down. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the work he’s done and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Anthony !!!

I had the pleasure to work with Anthony and it was an experience that I will never forget. Late last year my father passed away and it was a very difficult time for me. I wanted to get something to remember my father and after much consideration I thought a tattoo would be perfect.
I wanted to do and something that would have meaning. I landed on the idea of a portrait of my father. Being that this was my first tattoo and probably my last I wanted it to be perfect. After much research I was introduced to Anthony.
During the entire process Anthony was there and so glad he was. He first arranged a meeting prior to my session to discuss what I wanted. He also wanted to get to know me and my story. He took the time because he cared and it showed.
During the eleven hour session, every inch was done with precision and pride. He made sure I was comfortable and kept my spirits high. The guy is an artist, but most importantly he is a genuine person. He cares about his his clients and takes the extra steps!
I’m new to the industry of tattooing but I feel that the industry needs more guys like Anthony!

Fantastic Place! If you get a tattoo, get it here!
I got my first tattoo here yesterday, by Will, and I can not think of one thing I’d change to make the experience better.
Will sat with me for quite some time to work out the design, he made the whole process of getting the tattoo very easy and clean, and went over aftercare in great detail.
I absolutely love my new tattoo!
Thanks again, Will. You’re a very talented artist, and I’ll definitely be back for more work soon.
P. S. The place has amazing art all over and they have gallery events I intend to check out in the future. So even if you never get a tattoo here, I recommend checking out local artist at the gallery.

The best tattoo shop I’ve ever been to. Will is an amazing artist and his knowledge of art history and technique is just as impressive. Evie’s work is so stylish and creative. I have pieces by both artists and will be returning for more.
I must note the welcoming, positive attitudes and friendliness of everyone at the shop is quite a refreshing change from most tattoo shops. There are absolutely no pretentious attitudes or cooler-​than-​you vibes.
Special attention must also be given to the bandages that are used here. Medical grade coverings that insured flawless healing in record time.
Additionally the monthly art installations are amazing, exposing new artists and works that make the experience even more inviting.
This is truly an artist’s environment with professionals of outstanding quality.

I’ve been to the Laguna Ink Spot three times to far to be tattooed by the beautiful Evie, and I have had nothing but amazing experiences!
I initially came here after finding Evie on Instagram, looking for a cover up. Now, my then tattoo was terrible to the 1000^th degree, it was large, and on my foot. When I had inquired at other places about cover-​up options, majority said it was unfixable, or it would have to be covered up with things I had no interest in. However, when I was asking Evie about it, she actually kept my ideas in mind, and long story short, created a beautiful and unique tattoo out of something terrible. Since then, I have been back to get more work done by her, and will definitely continue to do so.
Evie is incredibly professional, patient, and great to talk to in addition to being an incredible artist. It’s also very fun to look at the wonderful art displayed as you’re getting tattooed– there’s a lot of great pieces to look at! And I’d like to mention that although I have yet to have work done by Will, he is very friendly and humorous!
The Laguna Ink Spot will have you feeling comfortable, welcome, and totally satisfied to what would otherwise be a nerve-​wracking experience. This place has my highest recommendation!
