I recently got my nipples pierced here. Sandros was friendly and VERY professional. My friend had gotten most of her piercings done here and recommended the place to me when I told her I wanted a piercing. I was skeptical at first because the place is very open and I didn't see where you would get such an intimate piercing done, but there are curtains that pull shut and he makes sure they are completely closed. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
Review Source:Geared for suckers and tourists or people who simply do not give a fuck.
Yeah come get a tattoo and some piercings and then wonder what kind of fucked up disease you are in the process of cultivating.
First of all, why would anyone want to come to this dirty ass place?
Second of all, they are poking through your skin with needles and the dude sitting in the same chair you were, probably didn't bathe for 4 months. Do you think these lame, drunk employees even give a shit enough to wipe the chair, wipe the equipment, follow proper OSHA codes???? I would say 99% of you have no idea what OSHA even stands for so let me simplify it for you:Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
So in Layman's terms, it is D I R T Y and these punk employees do not follow nor give a rats ass about following OSHA protocol.
This place is about getting you in as quick as they can get you out. All money, no integrity.
This review is for a piercing. So today i decided to get my belly pierced done at this place. Their helpful and it's a reasonable price. I paid $32 for it. The guy did it was really nice and really quick and i highly recommend this place if your getting one. It's very clean also so u got nothing to worry about...
Based on my pain experience, i didn't feel a lot of pain at all. He told me scale from 1-10 it's most likely 6-7, but for me it feels like  3-4 honestly everyone is different and it depends how you take tolerance in pain. I was just really nervous at first but it wasn't that bad, So if you wanna get it done, JUST GO FOR IT! You'll be okay.. =)
I've been thinking of getting a tattoo for a while, and having just moved to California, thought it'd be a perfect just-got-here-so-I-can-still-do-touristy-things present to myself to get one on Venice Beach. So I picked the first shop I've seen which was Venice Tattoo & Piercing.
It was small, but everyone who was working there acknowledged my presence and a guy immediately asked me if they could help me. I told him what I needed and he took me to Travis. They were both very friendly and were joking around with me the entire time. Travis had to redraw my tattoo several times to get something I liked (it was a phrase, so handwriting matters, he's definitely a good artist, judging from other drawings in the sketchbook). The tattoo itself took only 5 minutes and hurt just a little bit.
Also, every Saturday, a lady comes by at 11:15 selling tamales for $1.50. They are THE BEST TAMALES I HAVE EVER HAD. I haven't had much Mexican food around LA yet, but I have eaten in many places and trucks up north that are supposed to be authentically Mexican, but their tamales have always disappointed me. Travis and the other guy were really excited for her to come though, so I decided to get one too, and it was so worth it. Wish I got like 4 of them.
While Travis was sketching my tattoo, some guy came in and asked for a tattoo of a crack on his head, a la Lil Wayne. They told him it'd look horrible but he was insisting that it would be awesome. The other guy offered to sketch it out on him so he could see how it looked and then he realized that it was, indeed, a very bad idea. I think it speaks well of the place that they weren't going to do anything for money and that sometimes, a tattoo can be a bad idea.
Anyway, the place is small, but is clean and professional. Reasonably priced. Don't know if I'll need it, but free touch-ups in case some of the color falls off (it's on my foot, so that's a possibility). Definitely don't look it over for some of the more hipster and popular places.
I got a second cartilage piercing here. I'm 16, but I do look kind of young for my age. Of course, I didn't ask my mom so I avoided going to somewhere like Claire's where you have to fill out paper work and such. Walking around Venice with a friend of mine, at the spur of the moment we both decided to get cartilage piercings. No questions asked. Seeing as it was a hole in the wall place in Venice, I figured it would be unsanitary/sketchy. It wasn't! Sterile and new tools every time. The whole process took about 10 minutes for both of us. There wasn't any pain. The only problem is that the piercer didn't really go over aftercare instructions and kind of just pierced us, and we left. Since I've had a previous cartilage piercing I knew how to handle my ear afterwards, but if I hadn't, I'd be completely clueless.
Great experience! It was only $20. I texted my mom a picture afterwards and she loved it!
Got my right ear repierced here. Was quick and painless. It was a little over $20 for one ear. It was really spur of the moment, but I'm glad I did it. Not sure if I'd come here for anything but a ear lobe piercing. The place seems very much like a "You get what you pay for" kinda place. Thank god it's difficult to mess up an earlobe piercing.
Review Source:This has a prime location on Venice Beach's boardwalk so it has all kinds of people coming in for tattoos, drunkies, full-sleeved veterens, and people just browsing. Â There is competition with the various other tattoo shops along the boardwalk and when my bf Chucky and I were getting quotes from each of the shops, we decided to stick here because the quality of work was perfect for the price! Â
Neal and Julio were the ones tending the place and were very friendly and helpful, happily making any changes we requested in their drawings. Â I loved the quality of work Neal did on my tatt and Julio did a great job on my bf's! Â Neal even through in color on my writing to make something simple, stand out nicely. Â We definitely left happy!
.., my gf Diane & I came to Venice last weekend to check out the beach, the boardwalk, & all the other randomness that goes on here in Venice.
After having a meal @ the Sidewalk Cafe, we decided to go get tattoos. Spur of the moment indeed, because we usually have our own tattoo guys.
We walked around getting prices, some too good to be true. Then stumbled upon Venice Tattoo & Piercing.
Neal was the first to greet us & he did a great job on giving us quotes, etc. My gf & I only had writing done so it wasn't anything too complicated. Julio came along & drew up our design. To make the most of our time, they split us up so we would get done faster. Neal had done my gf's writing, while Julio did mine. Both really cool guys & were honest about their opinions. Thanks guys! Check em' out!
I Always go to Venice to relax and look at all the shops. I have a tattoo artist that does my and my husbands work and he works here at Venice Tattoo his name is Angel and he is so RAD! he does clean, professional work. he uses a clean sterile needle every time. as well as being so nice he talks and gets to know you and establish a professional relationship with his clients.
we have been going to Angel for over 6 years though he does move a lot he always ends up at Venice Tattoos. The actual place is a little small but its clean and the tattoo artist are very easy going and friendly despite there looks.
I also recently just got my nose pierced for a very reasonable price.
So if your up to take a drive to Venice beach and get tattooed while looking at the ocean, Then this is where you want to be.
