ABSOLUTE BODY ART REVIEWS

My sister and I went in today and got our second ear lobe piercings and Bryan was AMAZING! So nice and helpful! The shop was very clean and he was very attentive to keeping it that way. We were able to walk in and get helped very quickly! He took the time to educate us about piercings and why piercing guns hurt more and cause more trauma. The vibe was perfect, we had a great time and would definitely recommend! Will definitely come back for any other piercing or tattooing needs

Brian IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Super nice, very professional and knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable and helped put my nervousness at ease. His shop is super clean and the extract vibe you want when getting inked or pierced up! Thank you so much Brian! I will be back for all my future work! I love my Medusa! Thank you so much

My experience here was incredible. It was such a welcoming atmosphere. Everything was so well put together and clean. My piercing was amazing, It was done perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. I’ll definitely be coming back in the future. I definitely recommend this shop.

PACIFIC AVE TATTOO REVIEWS

MIA is absolutely amazing! She did tattoos for me and my friend, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Her attention to detail is incredible, and her delicate hands made the whole process almost painless—I barely felt a thing! Not only is she incredibly skilled, but her kind and professional attitude made us feel completely comfortable throughout. If you’re looking for a talented artist who truly cares about her work and her clients, MIA is the one. Highly recommend!.

Love This Shop and Their Artists!! I Originally Came in for the $60 Friday Special, Which Went Amazing, and Came Back for an Appointment With Harlow. an Old Stick and Poke Was Covered Up, She Was Very Nice and Understanding When I Had to Take Small Breaks to Stop My Leg From Twitching. I'm Absolutely Still in Love With This Tattoo, and It Healed Wonderfully!.

Pacific ave tattoo is GREAT!! Mia is a great tattoo artist!! Attention to detail 100% the shop is clean and all of the artist that work here are very welcoming. Great vibe! If you are looking for a good TAT head to Pacific Ave Tattoo, you won't be disappointed.

You can tell she loves her work and understands how to build relationships with her clients. I will be back for my future tattoos! .

My last three tattoos have been from homage tattoo, Kirk does an amazing job making ideas come to life. Love the atmosphere, which makes the tattoo experience so much better. Very clean shop with great people, would definitely recommend all the artist! Thanks again Kirk for busting out that 7 hour tattoo!.
