My boyfriend and I have been getting tattooed and pierced at Studio City Tattoo for the last 10 years. It has always been our go to spot for any tattoos or piercings. They are by far the best in the valley when it comes to customer service and overall great quality of work. A couple employees have stood out tremendously throughout the years; Captain Dave is an amazing tattooist and overall great guy to get tattooed by. Capt. Dave has done the major of our tattoos and we have continuously gone back to him over and over mostly because his quality of work is amazing. He has always taken his time to hear us out on what we want and always delivers above and beyond our expectations. He is patient and always willing to work with us, if he feels something won’t work right, he will tell you up front and come up with another solution that will make you just as happy. We have gotten to the point with Captain that we trust him completely when it comes to giving him artistic freedom on our tattoo ideas. It always comes out unique and beyond what we could have imagined. He’s a true professional and exceptional artist. Overall, you can’t go wrong with any of the artists or piercers at this shop.

Got my first tattoo at this studio and had a wonderful experience. I am quite sensitive to needles but Captain Dave took good care of me, so i remember only the nice part about it. He did the tattoo perfectly, even better than the sample i gave it to him and i am extremely happy about it. Very cool atmosphere and environment, will definitely come back to their studio and i recommend them to anyone. Note that they accept walk-ins on friday, saturday and sunday and try to be there before opening hours so you can guarantee your place.
