Ink Addiction

Went to get my tattoo retouched with David and he was great! Told me stories and made me very comfortable considering I got a foot tattoo

Today I went in to get a tattoo done by David. It was Saint Michael Archangel with Romans 12:19 on top of it. This tattoo means a lot to me and I was super happy on how it turn out! I will for sure go back and get more work done by him! Great customer service! He made me feel comfortable and I was so relax. He also dropped the price on my tattoo since it didn’t take as much time as he thought! Thanks a lot David!

Had my appointment for Friday at 530 pm with David for a koi fish on the bicep. When I got there he was ready for me we got started right away. He took his time on the outline it came out great he has solid straight lines it took about 6.5hours to finish my tattoo the pain wasn’t as bad as peo People told me it would be in that area. The shop has a good atmosphere they are friendly will definitely be getting more work done by David. He is good with color and not as painful

This place is legit if you’re looking to get piercings. I went in to get nipple piercings and David made the whole process a lot easier. I was super nervous and didn’t know what to expect but he was totally professional and even offered me a discount. Would definitely go back here again!

Brought my kiddo in for a nose piercing, checked out a lot of places and finally found a place we felt comfortable with. David was awesome! Place is legit, clean and very professional. After a few minutes of prepping and answering all of mom’s questions ;D…all it took was 2 minutes, and voila! If you’ve been thinking of getting some piercing done, this is the place! «Smooth like butta!» #piercing #piercings #nosepiercing #Sylmar #SanFernandoValley #legit #smoothlikebutta #loveyourkids #letthembe

Brought my daughter in to get her nose pierced. David greeted us. He was very friendly and professional. He explained the process from start to finish and asked if we had any questions. He made us all feel very comfortable The shop was clean and all the equipment used was sterile. Thanks David! Definitely will be coming back!

Kiko does some amazing work here! His portraits are awesome! Me, my husband, the in laws were all tatted with kiko. Won’t go to anyone else!

Saw them on Unilocal,called them up to get an estimate on a triple forward helix (est. $ 60), I was told that no appointment was needed, and to stop by.
Location
Located at the very end of a strip mall closer to the Pawn Shop verses the Fresh & Easy. It is a bit hidden and kind of small but they do have a sign indicating their shop. The inside looked to have about 4 stations, three for tattoos and one for piercings. They have a booth that has tattoo books, a TV, a few sofas, and even a water dispenser. However, the tattoo shop wasn’t anything special when it came down to looks but still a decent little set up.
Service
Honestly, I have mixed feelings about the service. Each time I called for information the man on the other end of the phone was pleasant and easy to talk to. When I showed up at the store the men working there were just as nice. One even took me to the side to walk me through the process of my piercing which I appreciated. However, they only accept cash and couldn’t take me that day. I was told to come the next day at either 11am or 3pm. I told him that I couldn’t make it at 11am and that 3pm would be fine. I showed up the next day at 3pm with cash in hand and was turned down because I didn’t come earlier. I was then told to come back at 4pm. Personally, I found this to be extremely irritating because if we set a time I expect it to happen, sure maybe I’ll wait a few minutes but to expect me to come back is a bit ridiculous and not very accommodating, because honestly who has time for that.
Pricing
One of the main reasons I decided to give Ink Addiction a chance was because they gave me the most reasonable price. $ 20 for each piercing which came out to $ 60 for a triple forward helix. Other stores were charging from $ 80-​$ 120 which I thought was outrageous.
Overall
I won’t be back. I like to be valued as a customer and I don’t feel like my time was being appreciated. Maybe if they got a schedule book and stuck to it I’d reconsider.
Tip
Cash only
