Pretty In Ink: Oakland

"Amy and her team are great. I've had my last 4 pieces done there and each one has been terrific. The energy and atmosphere in the studio are great, and they're modern and dialed in with scheduling and payment. Appreciate that I came across Pretty In Ink a few years ago!!! Thank you Amy!!!"

"I am so in love with my new tattoo, and still so happy with my experience here! Flavia was my tattoo artist, and she was just the sweetest! I decided on a flash, but I wanted different colors and she was able to do that for me. We played around with sizing and placement as well. She made sure I was okay throughout the process, and let me tell you how gentle Flavia was while tattoing me! She did an amazing job, I am so happy with the results. She has the cutest art/flash, and she seems really passionate about what she does. The shop itself is very welcoming, and very comfortable. I wish I found this place sooner! I highly recommend!"

"Lovely place to get my first tattoo! The shop is quiet and clean, and Laine made me feel welcome and comfortable. I absolutely adore my new ink, and Laine did a fantastic job from the design to the tattooing. Highly recommended!"

"Pretty In Ink’s new location is absolutely beautiful! The artists there are all so friendly and so incredibly talented. I had a tattoo done by Speth, who was very patient with me and redrawing parts of my design. We worked together on the colors and the placement and I am so incredibly happy with how it has turned out. They are so talented, so nice, and it was a very comfortable and safe experience. I love that the shop is queer owned and run and will be returning many times (at least to finish this tattoo!) Highly recommend checking them out for walk ins or scheduled appointments! Speth is amazing, and so is everyone else there!"

"Wonderful shop! Run by all women & non-binary folks, this queer-positive tattoo parlor welcomes both walk-ins and appointments in a very comfortable atmosphere. One of the artists, Jiffy, is working on my entire right leg. She’s super friendly, meticulously clean, and fantastically creative. She can take your idea and ruuuun. Note that the artists here used to work out of Studio Noir, and there is a sister shop in Alameda by the same name. Make sure you have the right address!"
