House of Ink

I love house of ink very good place the staff very professional always helping you if you have an idea for a tattoo they will spend the time to explain everything i love that place now my kids are going there to get ink see you guys soon

Very friendly crew with good prices all artists do great work there but I highly recommend Mike that is because that’s who I went to great guy and his work is fucking awesome what he did on me came out better than I expected! Thanks mike I will be seeing you again soon.

Got a tattoo here today. The artists are all super friendly, and talented. My tattoo turned out better than I had pictured!

JACKS is awesome! I went in not sure of what I wanted, after a couple drawings he absolutely nailed what I was trying to explain! From finding him on Insta @needsmoreblack I knew he’s done a gazillion palm trees, but him drawing it out in front of me made me feel like it was my own drawing, it was amazing! Not to mention he was so polite and patient! So glad I came to HOI, all the guys are friendly and I am so happy with my tattoo from JACKS! Thank you!

I loved this place. Their work is legit and their services were on point the owner Sean Hearings was very nice and their piercer Justin was an awsome guy he’s done my nose and 3 ear piercings and haven’t had an issue. I’ve gotten all my at work done by Asaru he’s an amazing artist and he’s done all my work on me and great pieces that I always get compliments on. His IG is @asaru75 wonders!!! THANKS GUYS!!!

DON’T COME HERE. I spontaneously walked in one day for a helix piercing and was immediately impressed by the low prices. $ 30 for a piercing + earring was so much cheaper than other piercing parlors, and I, being a poor ass college student, was like hell yeah! DON’T BE FOOLED AND DON’T BE CHEAP. Looking back, I should’ve known not to trust this place.
1. When I asked him where exactly on the ear he was going to pierce it, he simply told me he’d «done this a million times» and proceeded to stick the needle in.
2. He didn’t show me what kind of earring he was using.
3. He didn’t offer any advice on how to clean it.
6 weeks later, my ear started to hurt and the earring was literally embedded into my ear because my skin was growing over it. It wasn’t a sanitary problem or anything because I cleaned it with sea salt and didn’t move/​touch/​spin it.
So, I went to another piercing place, and they told me the earring was absolute shit. That guy had used a butterfly backing (which apparently you shouldn’t use for helix piercings) and it was just overall really crappy.
Honestly, just splurge on stuff like this. It’s not worth the extra pain and effort.

Steer clear of this awful tattoo shop. Rude, antisocial «artists» who think it’s OK to have their little kids behind the counter while I’m getting tattooed. I shouldn’t have gone back big mistake. The tattoo wasn’t done right the first time and when I went back to have it fixed he decided it would be OK to add a little extra to MY tattoo on MY body without even asking me. I had to scrap it off with tweezers when it was healing to try and fix it. They weren’t open when they told me they opened at 10. At almost 11 I was asked to come back which put me past my appt time. My tattoo looks like shit and now I have to pay even more money to have it done a THIRD time. He then proceeded to lie to my friend and me about info he supposedly told me the first time I came in which he never did. Don’t be in this industry if u don’t care about the work u put on ppl permanently. Thanks a lot!

If you’re looking for a place to get pierced, go to Ink Monkey down the street. This is a boardwalk dump in comparison. The girl pierced my Tragus with a nose ring, which is L shaped and comes without a backing! So needless to say it kept falling out, and after coming back twice to get it replaced, I started to get the hint. They are amateurs here just looking to make a buck from the tourists. I will say it is worth 2 stars tho because they let my 16 year old cousin get her nose pierced with my signature alone! I took her to Ink Monkey to get another one and they laughed in my face! Turns out you need a picture ID and proof of guardianship if you’re not their parent. Haha! So for all you youngsters out there dying to get your belly button pierced, I would recommend this place to you! Everyone else– door yourself and your body a favor and go to Ink Monkey!!!

Who else goes & gets a tattoo because they’re waiting for check-​in time at their hotel? Just me & my best friend? Ok, that’s fine with us.
What pulled us in was the Tuesday piercing special.
Why did we end up with tattoos? Because my best friend didn’t want to get a piercing (I know, she’s boring but she has to be corporate & shit.)
When we (read she) finally decided on what matching tattoo we were going to get, we were introduced to Mike.
It took a while because our cellphone service sucked & someone is indecisive as hell (read not me).
Mike was cool. He drew the picture from the phone on our wrists then got to work. They’re not totally identical, but that’s cool.
Everything was single use only. Opened the packaging right in front of us.
It was my best friend’s first tattoo, so he was telling her what not to do while getting a tattoo. Since we were visiting from New York, Mike was telling us that he’s never been & that when he does go he doesn’t want to do all the touristy crap.
Been getting compliments on the tattoo since we took the dressing off!
When we were walking down the boardwalk shopping for souvenirs, he remembered us & asked us how our wrists were doing. Didn’t think he would remember us, since he probably tattoos a lot of people a day.
Thanks Mike.
Whenever you make it out to New York, we’ll take you to the hood!
We got you!

My boyfriend and I came to Venice for my birthday /​vacation. My second tattoo and his first. Very professional and great work. Worth every minute of pain!

Came here just checking out the art work and after talking with Jovan and looking and his book of work I was sold he drew up the lettering I was looking for and did an amazing job! He was professional and polite and it was great work for a great price… I’ll be back soon Jovan thank you for everything! !!

Justin was awesome! He specializes in all piercings and I will definitely refer customers seeking his services. Cool Guy

Walked in asked for a very specific flower, he drew it from a photo and it came out beautiful. Will post pics when it heals. Definitely recommend this place. My two girlfriends also really like their tats.

Family and I were here yesterday for my uncle to get a tattoo and my cousin to get 2 piercings. The guys their were very nice and real if you know what I mean. (Tell it like it is) My uncle got an anchor tattooed on his right arm and Jacks did an amazing job. I have 8 tattoos so I know what I’m talking about, this tattoo seriously exceeded our expectations and I definitely plan to return for a tattoo of my own even though I live 2 hrs away. Thank you Jacks.
The other thing I like about this place is they promote each other and they’re honest. They let you know if a style is for them or another artist and I appreciate that in a shop.

Came from New York and Jacks and Jovan were excellent, patient and very professional. They made us feel right at home. This is the place to go for ink.

Eh, I really honestly hate giving this place a three stars, but that’s how I feel. To the point:
I did a walk in and there were only two tattoo artists there, which is fine. The place was slow so I came in at a good time. I talked to the lady at the front desk (forgot her name) and explained to her what I wanted, and she called the artist over, Asaru, to do my tattoo. I basically wanted some vintage scissors with a colored ribbon wrapped around it. He took a few minutes to draw it up, and it looked great. He wasn’t really talkative though, nor did he really walk me through what was going on, and this was also my first tattoo, so I would’ve appreciated some information.
Price wise, it was reasonable. 170 for a tattoo covering most of my forearm.
When we were all done with tattooing, I thought it looked fine. After when I got home, I realized the placement was pretty crooked, even after putting the stencil in different spots 3 times. Part of that is my fault though since I should’ve just told him to get it right before tattooing. Anyway…
Tattoo wise, he scarred my arm in most of the spots of the ribbon and some of the scissors, which I’m not surprised since he went extremely rough than I think he should’ve.
As for line work, it’s crappy in spots. You can see wobbly parts and parts where the lines aren’t even connected to the rest. It’s not the worst tattoo but it’s not the best, plus the uncomfortable experience and lack of communication as to how the tattooing process went just was not good at all, thus my three star rating.
The shop is clean and basic, people are fine but honestly seems like I am going to get this touched up by someone else or covered up completely.

I walked into House of Ink to be with a friend while he got a tattoo. I had no intention of getting a piercing, considering I am EXTREMELY afraid of needles. After expressing to Amber that I had always wanted a nose ring but was just too chicken to get it, she walked me through the process, showed me the tools she uses, and was extremely patient while I went through the dramatic ups and downs of, «Yes, I want one! No, I can’t do it! Yes, I want one!»
In the end, with her help, encouragement, and comfort, as well as my friends all around me, I ended up getting my nose pierced, and it looks AMAZING. I am so happy I went through with it, and it barely hurt! Amber took great care taking my skittishness into consideration and I walked out of there barely feeling anything new on my face at all. I’ll absolutely recommend her and House of Ink to everyone and anyone considering getting a tattoo or piercing done.

I walked in Jovan was my artist… Wich was a cover up of a name, Covered it up with a pink rose and loved the outcome very detailed nice shade and good combination of colors… Thanks #HOUSEOFINK!

Got my septum pierced here the other day, it was pretty quick and painless.
The guy that pierced me didn’t tell me how to take care of it or clean it till I asked him and even then all he did was just hand me a piece of paper and told me to follow those instructions.

We came in after the Kings won the cup the second time: D
We met with the owner who was doing appointment only Kings tats. We had the most fun we’ve had there. My tattoo hurt –it was on the top of my foot. But it was the best tattoo experience my hubby and I have had because Sean was amazing, wonderful company, and such a Kings fan!
I’d really love to come back for some people and dog portraits: D
