Bonnie is a wonderful tattoo artist—absolutely gifted in personality and talent.My youngest turned 18 recently and wanted their first tattoo. Bonnie worked with them to make it a perfect experience. She somehow found a way to balance being patient and fast so the event was excellent.The shop is clean and organized. Everyone follows careful protocol to make sure clients and staff are safe and healthy. I highly recommend this place.

I was on vacation visiting a friend who lives in the area. We walked in to see if we could get matching tattoo’s. To our surprise they had an immediate opening for both of us. They got us right in and did an amazing job! We were super happy to share this memorable experience. The staff was super professional and personable. I would highly recommend this place!

Went in for a nostril piercing, met with Josh, and the experience was amazing. The piercing was quick, his information regarding switching out the jewelry, aftercare, and considerations to take during the healing process left me with no more questions to ask. The selection of jewelry was exactly what I was looking for and the placement of the piercing was exactly where id pictured it in my head. The staff are very professional and friendly, would highly recommend this location for your future piercings.

I got most of my piercings there! They’re super clean and the staff is really friendly. Josh, the piercer, is super friendly and the process is done quickly. Would a 100% recommend :))

Just wanna say a HUGE thank you to the wonderful Katie!!! Recently I got a memorial tattoo back in my hometown (NC) for my Grandmother, and my baby. The tattoo came out really choppy, almost like a child did it and quite frankly, very amateur. but Katie made it beautiful and I can’t thank her enough. I’m coming back to get the rest of the memorial tattoo fixed, but what she did tonight I couldn’t be happier. Seriously at a loss for words for what I thought was a lost cause turned into this amazing piece. I don’t know how to add a photo otherwise I would. Katie is amazing she had amazing vibes and was easy to talk to I feel like I’ve known her forever. The other workers were really nice and was supporting her while there. The shop is amazing, and the people are amazing. 10 out of 10 would forever recommend

Great experience! They were open on Sunday!! She was pleasant and friendly. I wont say it was painless but it came out perfect and she did it super fast!! Thank you! 👍👍👍

Bonnie . Great lady . Great work . Just what I asked for . THANK YOU . ILL BE BACK

Just got my 6th piercing done by Josh. He is awesome. Super chill vibes, definitely recommend him for piercings.

Really clean shop with rad art hanging along the walls. Alyssa Anderson was very professional and kind. She created the perfect first tattoo for me! I love my snail house!! She has a wonderful way with colors, highly recommend!!

Went in to get my nostril pierced and the service was great! Josh was the one who pierced me and he was super nice and explained everything great! The piercing process was no longer than 2 seconds and we were there for no more than 15 minutes. I’ll definitely be going there for future piercings!

Josh is awesome!!! He was super friendly and is an amazing piercer. I got my septum done and aside from talking about aftercare and stuff it took 15 seconds tops. Great experience.

Josh was great! Wanted to get my 3rd piercing on my lobe done again and it was great. Took no time at all. Didnt hurt too much. Any little pain was completely gone in 2 hours or less. He was very informative and did a perfect job.

Everybodys very friendly the artists are true artists very well recommended

Josh is amazing! My girlfriends and I went to get pierced and our experience was great. They took our temperatures before we went in and the inside of the store was super clean. I’ll be coming back for sure!

Bonnie hooked it up proper Thank you for the ink

Walked in for a small black work piece on my forearm. My artist was Alyssa who did an amazing job. She was friendly, professional, and very helpful in consulting me and helping me to decide the placement and size of the tattoo. Shes pretty quick when it comes to designing and tattooing and still maintains a high standard. The shop is cozy and clean and Alyssa kept everything sterile and changed her gloves often. Overall I had a great experience and would recommend this place to anyone, from someone getting their first piece to someone who already has many tattoos.

Excellent tatoo work and good people. Mike Espinosa is a very talented and practiced artist. The facility is clean but still has character (not sterile and bland.)

If your going to get a tattoo in Santa Cruz, this is the place to go! Jared is one of the best artists!

I got my cartilage pierced here by Rick. Super quick and easy. He talked me through everything and made the whole process go smoothly. I would definitely recommend, and prices were great.

Super kind staff, and very well done piercings... I got my tragus done on both sides by a piercer (not sure of his name). He gave me detailed care instructions, and was talkative which helped- very kind as well. He did the piercings perfectly, each were centered very nicely, and everything was sterile. The piercings also didn’t hurt, and he did them very quickly with little discomfort- also, the price was great!! Definitely worth getting a piercing here, and I would absolutely go back again!!EDIT- it’s been about a month and twenty days since my piercing... I was messing with the stud, and the front part became loose, and I was happy to see that I was pierced with internally threaded jewelry :)) just thought I would add that. Good place to get pierced!

Very clean establishment. Bonnie was very professional, fast and friendly! I am already planning my next one.

Jarred is great. He is quick has a light hand and is a very talented artist. The shop is clean and has a cool atmosphere. I recomend this place to all.

I got two tattoos on my arms today. Jared did a fantastic job! Very personal and professional. And very reasonable pricing. I highly recommend Jared!

Hands down my favorite tattoo shop. Very professional, clean, with amazing art and artists. You know youre going to get quality work done when you walk in the door. The staff is always friendly and their work is beautiful. I couldnt be happier with the work Ive gotten done here.

Shout out to Alyssa; love the tattoo, girl! Great place; I gave them a scratch drawing of my tattoo idea and Alyssa turned it into exactly what I wanted. Thanks to everyone at the shop. Highly recommend!

Got my first tattoo here, the staff was very accommodating and easy to work with. The price was also not as high as other places. Definitely coming back for another tattoo!

Great service. Very friendly. Very clean. I walked in get my septum pierced. I was in and out in probably 20 minutes. I highly recommend this place!

Me and my friend got an ear piercing, and the dude was super awesome and nice. Would reccomend for anyone who is nervous about getting it done. Prices were great

Good tattoos

Great job on my tattoos. Thanks Mike.

If you want bottom of the barrel terrible tattoos see a guy name Skan from here he will ruin your tattoo and then expect a bunch of money for it definitely avoid him like the plague I dont know about the other artist but I assume if they let someone like that work here their work is probably on the same level

Ask for Jarred!

Alyssa is brilliant!

Sigh is a great artist

Community oriented

Great people

Jared!!! Awesome

No..
