Venice Tattoo and Piercing

Okay I went there and got two tattoos the story starts I went there and got a huge throat tattoo that says lost which I love. Went there the second day and got «fuck love» the guy got mad because I changed my mind on the tattoo price So he got mad, any tattoo artist that considers themselves a professional should know cursive is the most asked for font. He started by purposely going as deep as the needle could go and spread the L from the ove thans man. Its on my skin forever I wasted my money and would love a refund. Its still itchy till this day. If you go don’t get a tattoo from this guy I don’t remember his name but hes probably 40 – 50 was in prison and is a local to Venice. Go with the younger Mexican dude. He’s chill. Think his name is louis

SANTOS is the owner he did an amazing job on my piercings. The shop is at a nice and comfortable setting. Everyone was friendly AF. I recommend this shop for sure !

This place is the best! Seriously, it’s awesome! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Dog. I initially just came in for a price quote on a small wrist piece and typically pieces the size I got run for about $ 100 and he dropped it down to $ 80. He didn’t have anyone in the shop so I made the decision to get the piece done on the spot, I gave him a picture of what I wanted and he began to work on it ASAP. In about 15 minutes he was done with 3 different sizes of the same piece (LOVE LOVE LOVE that he gave me options)! I was digging how smoothly it was all going and then he began to show me all new product (needles etc) fresh in the packages and that made me feel super comfortable and confident! He’s super clean and chill, extremely funny as well! Dog is definitely the best artist I’ve had and I’m for sure gonna be back for more pieces!
I found this place because I come here to get ALL my piercings and I’ve never had a bad experience! 5 stars for Dog and this Shop FOR SURE!!!(:

Underdog was not only very proffisonal, but was a amazing artist after the 1^st 15 mind I forgot i was getting tattoed… its true what they say“great service is hard to find” but great customer service is even more harder to find, and this shop has both!!! U have to check them out.

I brought 3 teen age girls to get there second eAr lobe pierced. We saw Santos he was so good the girls barely felt the needle. I highly recommend him Claire’s in the mall used a gun which was not sanitary! We live in Manhattan beach and it was worth the drive.

Underdog here does wonderful work. Makes you feel comfortable and for my sis it hurt like hell but she took it like a champ. Nice, clean, everything is sterilized and he took his time just like a tattoo should be done. Will be coming back if I ever get tatted again.

Got my first tattoo here and I will never go back.
I wanted to get a realistic looking flower on my back and I showed the tattoo artist the picture and he didn’t even use the correct colors nor did he make it look realistic. He messed up on the outline and didn’t even say anything. I only found out after I went home and looked closely at the details. When he said he was finished, he hadn’t even shaded the flower all the way. He only shaded it halfway and I had to tell him to shade it more. Never coming back !

Underdog and Isaac did a great job on our tattoos and gave us a great deal. We were attended right away they were also really kind and patient. They adjusted our tattoos to how we wanted them and worked well with us.

Literally had the WORST experience I have ever had in a tattoo shop in my life here. My artist (who never got my name nor gave his) was constantly rushing me to put the stencil on and to start the tattoo. I finally blew up & asked him why he was being so rude and awful towards me and he claimed «time is money» — mind you no one had even walked into the place since I had been inside. He also kept saying «all this time will show in the tip» His lines are awful as well, time to go to an actually artist to fix this mess. Seriously the absolute worst. The only thing I remember is he had plugs and the word «oil» tattood on his arm. Do. Not. Go. To. Him. The other artists in the shop tattood my friends and did a great job so obviously it’s just him not the shop.

I had my tattoo for the first time in my life. Antonio was my tattoo artist and he is soo cool!!! Very friendly and such a creative guy :) I’m very satisfied with their service.

Hi. I too was searching the best deal. I been aware that most tattoo shop are a bit pricey when it come to color tattoo but I figured let me browse around. So I went to each shop at Venice Beach boardwalk, $ 280 -$ 380 the most they were offering. So I figured, I’ll come back next time. Well I came upon to this shop, it seem more like a kick back spot but right away a guy name Luis gave me a reasonable price. Negotiate is the best policy. I’m very satisfied with his work.
Thanks Luis

My friends and I were on the journey to VENICE BEACH in search of the BEST TATTOO SHOP!!! Yes we got ran into one shop with some stuck-​up people which didn’t even offer great service until we found VENICE TATTOO && PIERCING!!! I must say we totally felt welcomed the moment we had stopped in!!! This is my Future Spot for Ink in Venice Baby!!! My Tattoo OnLy TooK 40 Mins && Its sOoO Clean!!! It’s a Foot Tattoo!!!

I don’t usually write reviews unless it was a HORRIBLE experience… This was the exact opposite! Ricky Munday was my tattoo artist and did a PHENOMENAL job! Not only did he make my experience a great one, but he was really patient, understanding, and made me feel comfortable. I would HIGHLY a suggest him to ANYONE. He’s a great artist!

ahh I love this place! I got my first tattoo here and it was the best experience of my life and they only took 10 minutes!

Got my nose pierced here a couple weeks ago and for someone who has a very low pain tolerance I have to say, I didn’t even feel the needle go through. Most places charge $ 50 but this place only charges $ 35 (jewelry included). The station was very sanitized and I would recommend anyone to come here for a quick piercing experience.

Venice Tattoo, was amazing. I left one place, because they seemed, like they had no idea, about the style of tattoo I wanted. Walked into Venice Tattoo and met Ricky Munday. He fused his idea with the style I wanted and it turned out to be a perfect BAD ASS, tattoo. Great service, professional, clean, and Its Ricky Munday Bitch.

Pricey– but you’re paying for the location.
Got tatted here a few months back, and the artist was great. He was PATIENT. When getting a tattoo, you need to make sure you’re in love with the stencil, 150% in love with it for obvious reasons. I had him redraw it a few times and place it a few times until I was satisfied. He did a great job and I’m still in love with my tatt! The same artist also did my friends tattoo and he initially forgot to put the apostrophie in the saying he wrote on her– but luckily she caught it so he went back and put it in. Both of our tattoos look great!
We were just getting small simple tattoos, so fortunately we were able to just walk in and not need an appointment.
They take cash and card. very clean.

This place sucks!!!
Don’t go!
I went to get a cover-​up done, and talked to LUIS. He was very excited about the idea, and quoted me $ 450 at first. We made an appointment for the following week. When I arrived, he talked to me and said that it would be a lot of work and if I could give him more money. I told him I’m quite broke, but I would be able to pay him $ 500, total. He agreed, and we started the work. After a few hours he suggested, that I return in 2 weeks, since there was alot of trauma to the skin, and he would feel more comfortable continuing after it was healed. I agreed. Before the two weeks were over, my girlfriend and I when to the studio, to show Louis the healing process. at that point he said it was quite a big tattoo, and if I could pay more money. I told him we agreed on a price and I would not be able to get some 100 more dollars. He insisted, & I agree to give him 50 more, when I will come in for the next session. When I came back to finish the tattoo, he insisted on $ 100 more. He said if I would not give him $ 100 more he will not finish the tattoo. I told them that they were out of their minds, and I would not give them more money.
After a big discussion with the shop’s owner, it was finally agreed upon, that I would come in the following week, bring $ 60.- and get the tattoo finished.
Very, very bad business practices.

Got my belly pierced here. The older gentleman in the front was very nice and courteous. The piercing itself was very quick and painless. Not to mention, the price was very reasonable. I definitely recommend this gentleman and shop to everyone wanting a piercing.

I got a second cartilage piercing here. I’m 16, but I do look kind of young for my age. Of course, I didn’t ask my mom so I avoided going to somewhere like Claire’s where you have to fill out paper work and such. Walking around Venice with a friend of mine, at the spur of the moment we both decided to get cartilage piercings. No questions asked. Seeing as it was a hole in the wall place in Venice, I figured it would be unsanitary/​sketchy. It wasn’t! Sterile and new tools every time. The whole process took about 10 minutes for both of us. There wasn’t any pain. The only problem is that the piercer didn’t really go over aftercare instructions and kind of just pierced us, and we left. Since I’ve had a previous cartilage piercing I knew how to handle my ear afterwards, but if I hadn’t, I’d be completely clueless.
Great experience! It was only $ 20. I texted my mom a picture afterwards and she loved it!
