With less than 24 hours in Glendale and some spontaneous energy, I stumbled upon this place. I was greeted warmly by Sage. As soon as I walked through the door, he immediately walked over and greeted me. I had all these ideas for a small forearm tattoo and was feeling unsure about what I exactly wanted. Sage gave me some recommendations and told me what he would do differently. It wasn't in a way that made me uncomfortable...He did it with certainty that he was confident in making my tattoo exactly what I wanted. After a convo & a sketch we began! The overall experience was awesome!!Sage made my experience very positive, and thorough. I felt so calm and reassured with every bit of it. (& this is coming from someone with high anxiety!) His attention to detail was great and Sage knew exactly what I was envisioning. I'm really stoked about my piece & I can't wait to end up in Glendale again to get some more work done by Sage! Highly suggest and would definitely recommend! Read Less

The shop was super clean and great to deal with.Thank you for making this a good experience. Read Less

I like to say my experience here has always been fantastic. My artist is usually Art, and he does great work. He listens to your ideas and manifests them to reality.  The Art is great and the experiences are always welcoming. Read Less

Today I did my first ever tattoo and I can't be any happier! Fantastic experience and the result was incredible! Art is very experienced/talented in his filled and a cool guy I'll definitely recommend him to you guys! Read Less

This place is pretty good, hence the 4 stars. My piercer, Sage, was really nice and welcoming and didn't give off the vibe of "Oh yeah I'm this educated piercer who knows so much more than you". I tend to get piercings as a souvenir of sorts from a place I've just visited. This is my first piercing I've gotten here at home in LA. Up to now, I've been pierced by 5 different people. A chunk of them had that attitude of "I mean... you can do whatever I want, but I'm the professional, so...". It's important to me, from a customer service stand point, that even if you're the professional, to be able to talk to your customer in a non-demeaning way that still educates them. And Sage does that, which I appreciate, and I had A LOT of questions. This alone would have me coming back. It was $60 for a navel piercing, including jewelry, which is okay. In terms of the work itself, Sage seemed like he wanted to do a thorough job, made sure the lining of the belly piercing was perfect, which is great.  However, I wish he would have walked me through what was going to happen and what he was doing. If I wanted to know what he was holding, etc, I had to ask, which meant half the time I was asking things, which is fine, but it would have eased nerves if he told me what he was doing as he was doing it like, "Alright, you're gonna feel a slight pinch, but no big deal. Alright, I'm about to put the jewelry in, you should feel a slight sting, and then we'll be done." I've never had a naval piercing. I don't know what I'm supposed to feel. The whole time I was mentally clenching waiting for whatever unfamiliar pain/feelings was about to happen because the entire process is new to me. This is just a personal preference of mine. But that's not the reason it's not 5 stars. Honestly, Sage had a great attitude, and my piercing felt like nothing at the end of the day. I didn't even flinch. He answered all my questions (A WHOLE LOAD OF THEM) with a phenomenal attitude (best attitude from a piercer I've had so far, in fact) and was so friendly and gave me his full attention. On yelp, it says that the shop closes at 10, but I called at 8:55 and they said they were closing at 9. Maybe it's holiday hours? Not sure. Anyways, despite them almost closing, they kept the store open for me, which was really nice. Everything was already ready when I came in a few minutes later.I would revisit this shop for another piercing. The reason it's not 5 stars is because 1. While they were nice enough, I really do think they could amp it up on customer service. If it weren't for Sage, I would have felt unwelcome. And more importantly, 2. It smelled like weed when I came in. A pretty obvious odor. I'm very familiar with it. Made me question if any of them were high, which is not an anxiety you'd want with someone who's about to touch a needle to your skin. Overall, a decent place. Not a luxurious place or anything, but a loyal place.  A kind of place you'd go to because you know it and it does the job well enough. To me, it feels like the entire energy of the shop was just tired and bored. My presence there seemed inconsequential, which I hope isn't a feeling you'd want your customer to feel. But like I said, it's pretty good work (my piercing was pretty darn painless, Sage was nice and friendly, and it looks great), and it's not like I'm paying $120 to have my feet massaged as I get pierced. It's a piercing. I'm very happy with it, and I dig Sage's energy. However, I can't shake that anxiety that came with smelling the place. Clearly, it wasn't enough a big anxiety for me to not go through with it, and I love my piercing, so decide for yourselves. I'll probably be coming back. Read Less

What is this place? A dispensary? I walked in and there was several guys smoking weed in the back so I yelled but no one seemed to be listening. I walked around to the back and spoke to a man (Barber?) but he kind of ignored me like he didn't speak English. Finally, a nice guy in a white & red mini SUV pulled up and asked if I needed help & said the owner would return 'he was next door'. I went back into the shop and waited and waited... Read Less

Aroot is An amazing artist he knows what he's doing, the hospitality at this shop is incredible, they played the bops! Hahaha nah my tattoo took about 3 hours and it felt like 1 hour aroot takes his time with the line work and it honestly came out looking fantastic Read Less

I never post on yelp but I absolutely had to for this business. As the mother of an 18 year old, it was very important to me that I be a part of his first tattoo experience...I'm so pleased to say it was 100% positive!! The artist, Art, was not only a perfectionist with the design and application of the tattoo, but he was also incredibly polite, understanding, and very trustworthy. In the end, I think he was pretty pleased with his work too!! By the next morning, the redness was completely gone and we trust the healing is progressing beautifully. We highly recommend this business. Read Less

Walked in today after being let down by another studio right up the street. I am thrilled to have found these guys, especially Patrick. He listened to what I wanted and helped make sure my vision became a reality. His service was top notch, and I will be back to see him for all other work I want done. Already looking forward to him doing a cover up for me. Read Less

I found this business to be clean and organized. The artist was courteous to customers and to me. I went in for a nose piercing. She was prepared and talked me through each step. When it was finished, she explained the after care and how to clean my new piercing. If/when I decide to get my first ink, this is where I'll be going. It was a pleasure doing business with her.

This place is awesome. Very professional and knowledgeable staff. I surely felt pretty relaxed and confident on Art's work. The place is clean, nice music, nice setup can't complaint at all. These guys know for sure what they're doing Read Less

Very professional guys that do amazing work and detailing to any work brought in to them. You will not dissatisfied with the level of quality work they put in for every individual. Once you come in you will not have any reason to go anywhere else for your tattoo needs. Read Less

This was my first tattoo shop coming to this guys with a few ideas. Art is the man. He was able to take 2 ideas I had and turned them into a 1 cool concept created by some cool symmetry with a tat on each fore arm. This is better than the expectations that what I walked in with. Read Less

I came here for a couple of simple line work with a couple of ideas in my mind. I met with Art. He was able to design 2 pieces. 1 for my 1-year anniversary of surfing and another piece to represent my hometown mountain line. He was able to put it together one for each arm and both being a cool symmetrical art. Amazing. This very clean, very professional but also very homie. They make you feel at home and are very informative about tattoo care. Read Less

Love this place, really professional and friendly crew, got my arm piece done went back for second one, they have reasonable pricing as well. Definitely recommend it, Patrick did my tattoo and he did an awesome job! Read Less

So, today I felt like getting a couple of tats. I found this place via yelp. I went in and spoke to Art about what I wanted. After a few minutes of prep, BAM! on with the ink. I let Art do his magic and after a few hours he was done. Everything came out as planned. I wouldn't hesitate to go back again. The shop is clean and relaxing. If you need to be inked this is the place. Thank you Art. Read Less

I came here about a month ago and this guy named Tony who is apparently one of the owners, did my tattoos. First of all this guy was not very customer service from the start but I honestly didn't mind too much. I explained to him that my tattoo artist had moved to another state and I was looking for another artist, not once did he even ask me for my name. I told him I wanted words on my hands one said "lover" the other "fighter" he said the shop minimum was $80 and said he would be charging me $100 since i was doing both. He went over lover twice and fighter only once, at the end when he was going to charge me, he again hesitated on the cost "$80 no $100" I wasn't too upset about that, I get it some people are greedy and they want to make as much as they can fast. But you know, at least do a good job to justify your price. Both words are fading almost entirely, and so I spoke with 3other artist to get their opinion before I came back to see him. They all said 2 things, first thing was they all said they would of charged $50 for both. The other thing they all said was that he clearly went to light on the hand and he didn't make it bold enough. I came back right now to tell him and just to show him what a poor job he did. He's store is closed but the door was open he said he was sorry the store was closed, I said that's ok I just want your name and the owners. Then I told him what the other artist said and he replies "the shop minimum is $80" I replied "right but you charged me $100 and the work is gone, he asked if I wanted him to touch it up, but I definitely would not trust this guy at all!! Even if it's a free touch up, no thanks!!! I posted before and after pictures for you to see. Over priced and not even talentedWOW, had to add this, this jerk went as far as to deny to yelp that this happened and try to claim it was the wrong store. Really shady Tony!!! Read Less

Overall a great experience at this shop, these guys are the best! Great atmosphere to get a tattoo at. Very reasonable prices for the quality of work these guys put in, definitely will be back for more. For my tattoo I went with Pat, huge thanks! Read Less

These guys are AMAZING, quality work with great prices and the actually CARE about you as a client, the first time i walked in there i had a bad experience with another artist, i couldnt afford a total redo but they gave me a deal thay i could afford because they have a respect for the art L. Read Less

I don't even know where to begin this place is the best, hands down cleanest and most professional establishment I've came across in my days. Chill and fun group of people, I just got tattooed by Art and I could not be happier I had a consult with him the night before walked in last night and he had completed a beautiful sketch of my tattoo, I got black and gray tatt on my inner left forearm and he did a fantastic job with the shading, not only was he extremely patient with me when I had him move my placement three times he was very concerned with me being perfectly happy with it. He opened all needles in sealed packages directly in front of me to assure me everything was sterile. He's attention to details is very much appreciated and the finished product is everything I wanted you can tell he cares a lot about his customers and his work. I would hundred percent recommend Art, Glendale ink is a hidden gem Read Less

I came here with my friend because he wanted to get a tattoo, after seeing his peace I decided to get one myself, it was my first tattoo so I was kind of hesitant but after telling Pat what I wanted he took my ideas and design such an awesome piece I could not say no, he was very professional and clean, and made sure that I'm comfortable the whole time and if I need it breaks in between tattooing I have to say the guy is very talented and knows what he's doing and also the shop was very clean and I have to give the rest of the guys in the shop credit for being so chill and offering water and coffee I really enjoyed the whole experience and the atmosphere I would definitely recommend anyone that wants to get a tattoo to visit Glendale ink, I'm very happy with my tattoo and gotten plenty of compliments from family and friends.

Out of all the tattoo artists I've had tattoo me, Patrick is by FAR the best tattoo man in the biz. I highly recommend him - and the studio is so chill and friendly. You feel right at home. Thanks guys! I'll be back soon. Read Less

Me and my husband went to eat sushi and saw Glendale ink at the same shopping center, after eating we decided to go in and get my first long over due tattoo, before going in we passed by the shop couple of times and looked inside to make sure it's a clean legit place, after feeling comfortable with the place we went in and talk to a lady in the front who introduced us to one of the artist name Patrik, I told him that I always wanted a small cross on my ankle, he took my idea and drew a cross that I fell in love with, he was very nice and a funny guy, he finished my tattoo and I got to say that I'm very happy with his work, if you are thinking of getting a tattoo, I definitely recommend Patrick.The shop is full of cool people and they have plenty of parking in the front.

Let me start by saying that my first tattoo was done in my hometown, Washington, DC. It's good, but after visiting another shop (and on the opposite coast-side at that), I realize just how much better it could have been. And more affordable, too! I will indefinitely be back, which means I'll have to fly over from DC again next time! As always, it's good to come in with something in mind, and even more importantly, on file. My friends made an appointment for a couple tattoos the other day, which inevitably was like a walk-in. I was going to wait until I got back to DC to get mine (since in most cases, people will stick with their first artist). After seeing the completed product on my friend's arm, I contemplated for a few minutes and bam! Made my decision, got my design, cropped it, and saved the files (I use a bit of Photoshop, so I brought the .psd file and .png, just in case). We hit the shop up the next day and they were like, "come on in." Long story short, we had a wonderful experience with Art and Patrick for our tattoos. The whole shop has a super chill and carefree vibe, which should not change anything. They know what they're doing and they're doing great. Art was super careful on my not-so-complex-looking design---so much that it turned out BETTER than the original image. Who would have thought! It took a couple hours, but it was well worth it, since the tattoo is beautiful. What else is there to say now? I absolutely love this shop and everyone in it. They got my friends' and me hooked. I definitely want to fly back here for my next. Read Less

Absolutely the best... my wife wanted her first tattoo so had Patrick do it... she didn't feel a thing... in fact going back for more.... ladies recommend it Patrick knows what he is doing all the way... Read Less
