WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Korina C, Yelp
My friend and I dropped in to inquire about piercings. Upon entering, we were assisted immediately. The owner of American Ink Tattoo Studio was extremely helpful and knowledge. He even helped remove a piercing from my friend, who was poorly pierced from a different random tattoo shop. Great experience overall. Definitely recommend!

Sonia G, Yelp
Brought my kid in to get some new piercing jewelry but it wouldn't go through. Miguel took a look and we learned it had been done incorrectly and at an incorrect gauge. He repierced it properly and gave us a great deal with the correct jewelry. Thanks, American Ink. I have a feeling we'll be back.
