I normally don't like leaving bad yelp reviews but,I walked in to my appointment at 5pm only to learn that my tattoo artist couldn't make it due to an apparent hand injury that had happened in the morning. It definitely would have been nice to know ahead of time so I could make other plans but no one informed me. The lady at the front desk was not very accommodating or apologetic about the experience. She said there was a back-up artist that could do our tattoos on site but that she couldn't fit us in at our appointment time and that we'd have to reschedule anyways. (also I wanted to get my tattoo by a specific artist & the back-up wasn't really my style). The experience was definitely unprofessional but overall, I just felt unwelcome at this tattoo parlor. I went to a different shop with a friendlier atmosphere and was able to find an artist to do my tattoo. I'm sure that there are some great artists who do work here, but the experience was just upsetting.

Got my second tattoo here and it was overall a great experience! From clean store to friendly artists. Austin did my tattoo on my ankle and did it perfectly, made the vision I had come true. I went alone and he was a great conversationalist as well as an artist, he made me feel really comfortable and had awesome stories to share. His artwork is beautiful, i was admiring some of his work while he was working on the tattoo. I definitely love the vibe of the place as well the artists. Reasonably priced too for what you get. Definitely worth going :) thanks Austin!

My 5 year old has been begging to get her ears pierced and we have a tradition that all aunts have to be present. Theyvare all here today. Unfortunately all places we called had to be at least 10 years of age. Mileys only 5.

Energy tattoo is amazing! My sister and I came in as walk-ins on a Sunday, and we were helped right away. Nico did our tattoos, and she was great. We showed her our designs that we brought in and she was super helpful in adjusting them to make them look good as tattoos and last a long time. It was the first tattoo for both me and my sister, and Nic made us really comfortable with the whole process. She was super clean and both of our tattoos turned out really well! I would definitely come back.

Erin did my first professional non-earlobe piercing (let's not talk about the self-administered piercing in my distant past). Above all, she is skilled and professional. You don't need to worry about infection or a substandard piercing here. She took time to help me select jewelry and to adjust the placement to my liking. Additionally, she is a friendly, warm, and fun person who will put you at ease and distract you from the brief moment of pain. Thank you, Erin!

Erin the piercer is AMAZING. Came in with some friends and I was on the fence about getting a piercing of my own, but after I saw how Erin handled everything I was so down. Not only does she prepare the station before she brings you back, she also walks you through step by step what she's going to be doing once you're sitting down. I was upfront about being really nervous when I get pierced and I really felt the extra care she put in to make me feel comfortable. If I could give her 100 stars I could!

I came here for a piercing, and was more than pleased. Erin was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but gracious! She walks you through the process of getting your piercing done, and after care. This is a very clean and sterile environment, which is one of the most important parts of getting pierced or tattooed. Remember you are paying for knowledge and cleanliness, this is not Claire's! This was worth every penny and very reasonable in my opinion. I will come again for future piercings. Also, J Medina who is a tattoo artist there is amazing. although I have not had work done from him at this location, I can attest to his thoroughness, knowledge, and talent as well. All of my work has been done by him, which I am constantly complimented on.This shop will not disappoint. I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

My friend and I came to energy tattoo at 6pm on a Thursday. Although the shop closes at 7pm, Allie and Chelsea agreed to tattoo us. Both of our designs were simple and relatively small. That being said, my friend and I were very happy with Chelsea and Allie's work. They both carefully listened to what we wanted and made sure we were comfortable with the stencil, placement, and size. I found that Chelsea was very gentle and my tattoo was close to painless (located on my ribs/back) Allie worked steadily and quickly on my friend's ankle. Both tattoos were excellently done. Both artists charged us less than initially agreed upon which was very kind of them.The shop itself is an open, welcoming, and clean space. The artists and piercers are friendly and helpful. They also have high quality/diverse selection of jewelry at the front of the store. Overall, I would love to visit again.** it's great to see a tattoo shop with so many female/femme artists!**

Came in to get a tattoo. Was not greeted or treated well at all. All employees just seemed more preoccupied with other things. Eventually I was told Severine was going to do my tattoo. She had a very heavy hand and went over the same lines multiple times, claiming this was the best way for the color to stick since I have darker skin. After being told my tattoo would cost the shop minimum, it came out to $120. This was way more than I intended to spend on such a simple tattoo. Within a week I got these terrible huge scabs that excreted pus. That was my sign that my tattoo was infected, despite proper care. After the scabs fell off and it healed, I had bruising from such a heavy hand and my tattoo has gaps in color.Though they told me I have a free retouch, I'm scared to go back there. Of my 5 tattoos, this had to be the simpliest tattoo but it was messed up the most.

We showed her our designs that we brought in and she was super helpful in adjusting them to make them look good as tattoos and last a long time. It was the first tattoo for both me and my sister, and Nic made us really comfortable with the whole process. She was super clean and both of our tattoos turned out really well! I would definitely come back.

Erin did my first professional non-earlobe piercing (let's not talk about the self-administered piercing in my distant past). Above all, she is skilled and professional. You don't need to worry about infection or a substandard piercing here. She took time to help me select jewelry and to adjust the placement to my liking. Additionally, she is a friendly, warm, and fun person who will put you at ease and distract you from the brief moment of pain. Thank you, Erin!

It's been almost 2 years since I got my tattoo done by Allie and I still love it everyday. She did such a good job and made me feel so comfortable! I just felt that we had such a good time during the whole process. This tattoo was the best thing to happen to my back. I feel bad I didn't review her sooner!!!!

Erin the piercer is AMAZING. Came in with some friends and I was on the fence about getting a piercing of my own, but after I saw how Erin handled everything I was so down. Not only does she prepare the station before she brings you back, she also walks you through step by step what she's going to be doing once you're sitting down. I was upfront about being really nervous when I get pierced and I really felt the extra care she put in to make me feel comfortable. If I could give her 100 stars I could!

I came here for a piercing, and was more than pleased. Erin was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but gracious! She walks you through the process of getting your piercing done, and after care. This is a very clean and sterile environment, which is one of the most important parts of getting pierced or tattooed. Remember you are paying for knowledge and cleanliness, this is not Claire's! This was worth every penny and very reasonable in my opinion. I will come again for future piercings. Also, J Medina who is a tattoo artist there is amazing. although I have not had work done from him at this location, I can attest to his thoroughness, knowledge, and talent as well. All of my work has been done by him, which I am constantly complimented on.This shop will not disappoint. I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Alberto showed what a great artist and person he is. He made sure everything was as we planned, he won't let you have a bad tattoo or bad experience. This guy is very kind and talented. I definitely would get another tattoo from Alberto. Couldn't be happier!! Este brother Peruano es genial. Calidad de persona y de artista. No lo pienses dos veces, 100% seguro de que hará un excelente trabajo.

My friend and I came to energy tattoo at 6pm on a Thursday. Although the shop closes at 7pm, Allie and Chelsea agreed to tattoo us. Both of our designs were simple and relatively small. That being said, my friend and I were very happy with Chelsea and Allie's work. They both carefully listened to what we wanted and made sure we were comfortable with the stencil, placement, and size. I found that Chelsea was very gentle and my tattoo was close to painless (located on my ribs/back) Allie worked steadily and quickly on my friend's ankle. Both tattoos were excellently done. Both artists charged us less than initially agreed upon which was very kind of them.The shop itself is an open, welcoming, and clean space. The artists and piercers are friendly and helpful. They also have high quality/diverse selection of jewelry at the front of the store. Overall, I would love to visit again.** it's great to see a tattoo shop with so many female/femme artists!**

Came in to get a tattoo. Was not greeted or treated well at all. All employees just seemed more preoccupied with other things. Eventually I was told Severine was going to do my tattoo. She had a very heavy hand and went over the same lines multiple times, claiming this was the best way for the color to stick since I have darker skin. After being told my tattoo would cost the shop minimum, it came out to $120. This was way more than I intended to spend on such a simple tattoo. Within a week I got these terrible huge scabs that excreted pus. That was my sign that my tattoo was infected, despite proper care. After the scabs fell off and it healed, I had bruising from such a heavy hand and my tattoo has gaps in color.Though they told me I have a free retouch, I'm scared to go back there. Of my 5 tattoos, this had to be the simpliest tattoo but it was messed up the most.

We have had at least THREE appointments scheduled with Allie at this establishment and she has flaked every time! We started driving the hour it takes to get to Energy Tattoo only to be turned around being texted a different lame excuse each time. Allie seriously girl, be an adult and take care of business.

My boyfriend and I stopped by their shop while we were visiting SB in hopes of maybe getting a piercing. The piercer was able to fit is into her busy schedule; Nic was SUPER sweet, professional, and CLEAN. It was affordable and turned out perfect. On top of that, the tattoo artist, Allie, was able to fit is in to get a small tattoo; clean line work, and a super good personality. I am in love with this business; they made our trip worth remembering! So nice, clean, professional, and just straight kick ass.

I visited Santa Barbara for a weekend with my husband. I checked a few shops on State St and found these guys friendly and helpful. I got my piercing jewelry changed and my husband got a new tattoo. The script in his tattoo was top notch and really healed beautifully. We plan to return on vacation next year and will visit again.
