Essential Ink Body Art

Jessica & Mickey are the ones to ask for!!!

I wanted to get my ears re-​pierced after many years, and I was visiting in the area. I am not your «typical» visitor to an ink and piercing shop, but I didn’t want to go to a mall jewelry store.
From my phone call, and all the way to the end of the piercing, Midori made me feel welcome and well-​cared for. She is a perfect combination of friendliness and professionalism. I was happy with her sterile procedure, her touch, and her care instructions. I was/​am very happy with my piercing.

As a first timer looking to get tatted, this with the second-​place that I came to and the guy was super chill. Very open-​minded with me, he had a lot more script fonts then the other tattoo location crossing the street! I enjoyed that very much; Plus the down payment to schedule an appointment was cheaper ($ 40) $ 20 less than the other shop! I’m definitely am thinking on coming back here soon.

I called a few times with questions, and each time I called I got great service. Once i went in. It was a fast process and pretty easy.

I am somewhat new to the area and was researching a good tattoo shop in Murrieta. I went in for a quick estimate and was very nicely greeted. My artist was super cool and tattooed me with almost no pain inflicted! My work came out great and I’ll definitely consider going back for more. The only downside was price, I paid for two very simple designs and paid $ 200. I guess this is more due to location, in Fontana I paid $ 200 for a much bigger and detailed piece. But overall, I had a good experience.

Came in for my husband and I to each have each other’s initials tattooed on our ring fingers. After twelve years of marriage (and 23 of being together) we have been trying to do this for quite awhile.
We met with Jessica who was really helpful in suggesting what fonts would work and what wouldn’t. She was really informative, honest and patient, which we both really appreciated.
Jessica worked on mine, while Mikey worked on my husband. Altogether it was a really good, easy, painless and swift experience. (Granted it was so easy and quick to put initials on a finger!) I’m really happy we came here and found these guys!

Got some tattoo’s by Rez here. Dude is a real nice guy and does great work! Everyone is really friendly and the prices are unbeatable! I came here for my first tattoo and one after also, and I’m definitely coming back here when I want another one. Look for Rez if you’re in the shop, he does really great work and will make your stuff look great!

AMAZING staff, so friendly… Jessica does amazing work, very reasonably priced, I’m new to the area & so glad I came in here

Had a little piece done by Rez, he did a great job, listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. This tat is really special to me and I’m really happy with how it turned out. Great little shop, cool atmosphere, awesome customer service. I will definitely be back!

Jody did my tattoo very fast and sloppily, it came out just OK. Don’t recommend. At least not him.

I went in for a nose piercing today. Midori was professional yet approachable. She made me feel comfortable and answered my questions, as well as provided a helpful handout on piercing aftercare. The shop was clean and the price was reasonable. Great experience overall.

Me and my wife went here to celebrate our seventh anniversary and get a couples tattoo. We had some rough sketches (we are not artists) and the guys came up with a great piece of custom art in about 15 minutes. Mike handled me and Jody had my wife. Mike was very fast and professional and did a great job. My wife got hers done in a very intimate area and Jody was a gentleman and true professional. He made my wife and me very comfortable with the whole experience, and the tattoo looks great. We will definitely be back when we are ready for more.

I got my lip pierced here a little over a year ago by Midori but have been back several times for jewelry and questions. She has been extremely informative and honest every time. I love their jewelry, its very reasonably priced and makes me want more piercings haha. Also the shop is always immaculate, So while i can’t personally speak about that tattoos, i absolutely recommend essential ink for piercings.

The rude messages I was receiving were from a 3^rd party hack no longer associated with new Essential Ink owners Edward & Midori. They are sweet people and didn’t deserve the spiteful sabotage towards their business. Carry on !

My GF and I showed up at nearly closing and both artists and owner were nothing but kind and accommodating. Mike, my artist, was just that… An artist! Thank you for not being a cocky asshole and thankful for being patient and awesome!
Don’t go anywhere else for a tattoo in Murr/​Tem… This is the best for ability, hospitality, artistry, and business sense! Both myself and Gf love our spontaneous (somewhat planned) tattoos and are looking forward to future adventures at this Studio!

I finally got pierced here! Midori is not only amazing –she’s also fast & safe! She’s very educated in what she does & the shop is very welcoming. It’s clean inside & has cute piercings you can buy as well. I can’t wait for my next piercing here-​my new go to place! Thank you so much!

Midori is awesome. Very informative, professional and most importantly she makes sure you know and see everything is sterile. You can tell she loves what she does because she takes infection control seriously and also takes her time in positioning where the piercing will be and to me that’s highly important and shows she takes high regards for her clients. Her piercing room is super clean and well kept and she makes sure to thoroughly go over the aftercare instructions. I highly recommend!

I have had so many compliments this week on my new ink! Everyone says it looks awesome and such clean lines! Thanks again Jody!!!

Took my 17 year old sister here today to get a double helix. The lady (I’m assuming is Midori) said only a legal guardian or a parent can accompany the minor to get a piercing, which is understandable. But I came in again a second later, asking if guardians have to be a certain age (some places consider older siblings as guardians). She suddenly became rude and sarcastic, saying guardians have to show court papers and/​or my mother, «the one who gave birth» to my sister have to come in to sign papers. I have no idea why she disrespected me in that way because I asked a simple question with no attitude in any way.
I don’t care if she’s the owner or if she does great piercings according to the reviews, but she definitely did not show great customer service. So we’ll definitely not be coming back here.

My sister and I just went to get piercing done. I got the helix and she got the tragus. Modri was amazing, she was sweet and gentle. I will never go to anyone else for any piercing. We would ask her for suggestions and she would give us our honest opinion. The place is super clean and the rest of the employees were really nice.
Thanks again Modri.
