Studio Noir 471B 9th Street, Oakland, CA 94607

"Had such a wonderful experience at Studio Noir! Got tattooed by Laine who is fantastic: kind, creative, talented, incredibly patient, and great company. Plus I ADORE the tattoo. Photo is two weeks healed. Highly recommend!"

"I love my tattoo!!! My friend got her tattoo done here and I had been wanting to get a new one. The availability, the cleanliness, the friendliness. All of it it was a yes to book on the spot. JT is an amazing artiest, he did my friends tat, mine and my cousins and we will be going back to him for matching cousin tattoos. Amazing service, amazing artistry, can't wait to get more!"

"JT accepted my walk-in appointment this evening and put his supper to the side to tend to me. He drew up the tattoo I had thought of in my head in no time AND touched up a rough tattoo I had that had lost some of its colour. I cannot say enough about this studio (after getting a number of tattoos from other shops) I would recommend JT and Studio Noir in the Oakland area"

"Start to finish a great experience. I dropped in while passing by on a Sunday afternoon. Hallie - the owner - greeted me warmly and took time to recommend an artist. I reached out to Mary and she got back to me right away. Within a few days, I had sent her my ideas and she confirmed a date. Mary did a great job on crisp, solid line work, which was important since it was a pair of straight parallel lines around my forearm. She was great to chat with and made me feel comfortable. Highly recommend both Mary and Studio Noir!"

"So this place is amazing! A group of us came out from Washington Oregon and Southern California for a friend's wedding. We decided last minute that some of us wanted to get tattoos. After calling around for 2 days with no luck due to having five people wanting last minute tattoos. Haley I believe her name was messaged me and said there was an artist named j.t. who had an opening and was willing to fit us all in today. They were both so kind and helpful with working around our rehearsal schedule today as well. All five tattoos came out amazing. Jt did such a great job with rapid fire semi custom tattoos for all of us. Mine was by far the largest with the moon phases down my spine. He even went way out of his way to stay a little late for me since mine was larger when he definitely already had gone above and beyond fitting us all in today last minute. He's very personable and easy to talk too while your getting tattooed. I 100% would recommend this place. If I am ever back in town I will be coming back for another tattoo for sure. Overall everyone had a great time and love all their tattoos!!"
