House of Ink

All I have is 3 words "TIA IS AMAZING!"

My friend and I woke up yesterday morning trying to think of how we wanted to spend our Sunday.  Got on the subject of tattoos and then started talking about piercings we have wanted.  Instantly got on yelp and called the first shop that came up.  Talked to Tia and she gave us a great deal on all the piercings we wanted.  We scheduled a time and ended up being about 30 mins late.  She was super laid back and said no worries Ill be here when you get here.  

First off, they have two locations and we went to the wrong one but Jeremy was nice enough to walk us down to the location Tia was at.  Everyone in the shop was sooooo cool!  We were welcomed immediately.  Tia did an amazing job on my nose ring.  It didn't hurt at all!  She did my friends rook and also got a double helix and they looked amazing.  They are also very clean, every tool/needle was taken out of a sealed plastic bag and rubber gloves were worn.  There were a couple times the phone rang but Tia would take the old gloves off and apply new ones.  She was very good about making sure everything was sterilized and clean!!

Definitely going back here for all our piercing needs.  Fun and high energy place.  Oh and the beats in the shop are dope!  Mixed by people who work there.

I didn't get a tattoo, but I went here with my friend who decided to get one. We finished lunch at SideWalk Cafe, and House of Ink is right next to them. The staff were nice, my friend wanted the words "believe" on her right wrist. The guy showed us on the computer the different calligraphy they have... pages and pages..and we took our time going through alllll of them until she found the one she liked. It was quick and it looks beautiful!

I cannot say enough good things about House of Ink.

I live in Utah, but decided to go on vacation with my family. I have a goal to get 1 tattoo a month for 12 months, so I figured I'd fill August's quota while in California.

I did a lot of research before deciding on a place, and House of Ink was the clear choice.

I walked in casually with my family one Sunday afternoon, and the place was almost empty. I was immediately greeted by a very nice man behind the counter, so I asked him if they took walk ins. They did, so I proceeded to tell him that I wanted a small 13 on the side of my foot.

He was more than accommodating and even helped me pick a font. I made it a long drawn out process, and he was nice every step of the way. I wish I would have caught his name, but I didn't.

Then it was tattoo time. My tattoo artists name was Asaru, and he was the nicest and most professional artist that I have EVER been to. I was not intimidated to ask him questions, and we actually held down a pleasant conversation while he tattooed me.

He spent the extra time with me, and made sure that everything was perfect. From the placement to the cleanup, I have no complaints about Asaru's work. At the end of my tattoo, I told him that it was my favorite tattoo that I have. He asked to see my other ones, I showed him all of mine. Upon showing him my INCREDIBLY faded "pinky promise" tattoo, he offered to touch it up free of charge. That blew my mind, as I have been trying to get the original artist to cover it up for months, and Asaru just steps in and takes the imitative to make sure my hand doesn't look like shit anymore. That right there made him golden in my book.

The tattoos were super cheap as well. It only cost me $80 (excluding tip) for two tattoos that I am ABSOLUTELY thrilled with.

If you ever come to House Of Ink, Asaru is the man for you!!
