Great service, friendly and talented.

Bri did a beautiful Capricorn symbol on my wrist! It came out exactly the way I wanted. She is amazing at what she does and lovely to talk to while getting Tatte’d

It was wonderful. Lee was wonderful and it is such a great place. My daughter really loved it. We all did.

Great place to get a tattoo everybody is really nice the studio is very clean. David is a awesome artist! I am very happy with my tattoo ☺️

Blue is the BEST at piercings. I got my tongue pierced by him and he did the most incredible job, exceeded all expectations. I was expecting lots of pain and swelling and a terrible healing process but barely had any swelling and close to zero pain throughout the piercing and healing. The placement was super clean and trauma free. Such a chill guy too. Def wanna come back for more piercings with Blue. Thanks so much I’m obsessed with it!

Had a great experience getting my lip and eyebrow piercings with Bunny! The Apollo is the best piercing shop you’ll find in LA, they’re overly sterile with everything they handle, reasonable prices, and very responsive and helpful and knowledgable! I’ve had bad piercing experiences in the past and will only ever get pierced here from now on, thanks Bunny 🫶

I'm so happy I chose Apollo to get my cartilage pierced. It was a great experience. They help you pick out the right piece of jewelry and really understand your vision. Customer service is great, and Bunny, who pierced my ear, was super sweet. She made the overall experience very painless.

I had an emergency situation with one of my back dermals and Blue was wonderful! Was ready to help and got me in and out with no stress. Even with the removal process I hardly felt it🙏😩

Amazing service for piercings with Bunny & Lee. Very knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable & confident 🙂

The professionalism and expertise of the staff at Apollo Tattoo surpassed our expectation. Lesley helped my daughter assess and address the issues she had with her navel piercing. We needed to change the jewelry as it was not medical grade. Highly recommend this establishment.

We had such a wonderful experience here! My daughter and my best friend both got their ears pierced, and every single person we interacted with was amazing. The entire process was seamless from start to finish — super organized, calm, and nothing ever felt rushed.

Trinity was fantastic with booking our appointments and helping us pick out earrings that were perfect. Bunny did an incredible job with both piercings — professional, gentle, and made the girls feel totally comfortable. Huge shoutout to Blue as well for assisting Bunny during my daughter’s piercing.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend this place to anyone considering piercings!

Got a very small and simple tribute tattoo done by Bri. She was amazing: very kind, welcoming and very flexible and patient with my indecisiveness about the design, as well as my need to change the appointment at the last minute. As I only got a small piece, I cannot vouch for full pricing range, however, I believe that while the prices are on higher side, I don't think that for their location and their staff skill/facilities that it is unreasonable. Would recommend!

Went to go change out my lip piercing and they were all very informative about the process/ care that comes with it. They also have very nice jewelry which is super important! Clean open space good vibes everyone nice & knowledgeable

First experience with the studio - walked away so happy that I’ll be a repeat client. Was able to get tattooed and pierced in the same session. Everyone at the studio was friendly, positive, and highly skilled. Loved the results and excited for my next sitting.

I had a great experience with David when I came in to get a flash tattoo on Halloween. Impressed with the professionalism and quality of the work. Would highly recommend!

While traveling in US I had decided to get a tattoo and had the best experience The Apollo Tattoo. Nice tattoo studio and very friendly staff.
I had planned the design before enter the US and tattoo artist David made the tattoo even better that I could imagine.
I truely recommend to use Apollo Tattoo and tattoo artist David Davinci

Got 2 flat ear piercings with Bunny. It was a great experience, felt very comfortable, and bunny took her time helping me look for jewelry in my budget. Gave me advice on better jewlery options so it would snag of things. Overall an amazing experience with this shop, everyone was very nice. They're very careful and ensure everything's sterile and no health issues in case of any emergency! Loved it and recommend. Have also gotten a tattoo here before with the owner.
Definitely getting more work done here.

My seven-year-old daughter insisted on getting her ears pierced, so I found this place online that had great reviews and piercing specialists that are experienced with children. The place was very clean and everyone extremely friendly. There are SO MANY choices for earrings. I really suggest you arrive early so you can look at all of the options. My daughter chose a pair of rose gold ones with a diamond center. Bunny, our piercing specialist, made her feel super comfortable and talked us through every step. My daughter didn’t flinch or even squeeze my hand. It was painless and quick and I highly recommend this place to all parents looking to bring their kids to get their ears pierced. They even handed us a “fearlessness” certificate at the end which was a cute touch.

David at Apollo tattoo was awesome! He took the time to make such a special tattoo for me come to life. They also had a rainy day special which was nice on the budget. Overall very pleased and love my tattoo!

Had an excellent experience getting my navel pierced! My piercer, Bunny (same name as me haha!), was super professional and knowledgeable, my piercing is centered evenly and wasn’t painful, and she was able to provide great suggestions for jewelry and aftercare. The studio was very clean, it’s obvious that everything being sanitary was a priority. All staff I interacted with were super sweet and welcoming. I believe I will return for any future piercings I decide to get

Great place!! Bri was so thorough and so kind, highly recommend!

This was my first tattoo and everyone was really nice throughout the whole process. There was great communication and the quality of the tattoo is amazing!

I needed a couple piercings removed for an MRI and was so relieved to see a shop that opened early. My piercer, Blue, came in an hour and a half before his usual schedule to do it for me, too. While I waited I had a nice conversation with their tattoo artist 🙂 you can tell they both love what they do and are skilled at their craft.

Blue is the absolute best! He is the only person I will ever go to for my tattoos now. After he did an incredible cover up for me, another tattoo, and touch ups, it’s safe to say I trust him with anything I bring him! Could not recommend more.

Raa was my artist and let me tell you he was overall amazing! From his artwork to his personality! He has a way of making you feel comfortable!

Super professional and friendly people. Very clean space. Loved the work they did for me, and the reasonable price that it cost. Conveniently located in a cool neighborhood just a few blocks from the beach. Really couldn’t be happier with my experience at the Apollo!

Lost part of my piercing & needed to get it replaced. Looking for a place that had a variety of nice jewelry & a 4.5 or higher & 500+ Google reviews. The Apollo was it & I was surprised to see that they opened at 8am 7 days a week. Cool! I can get this knocked out early on a Friday. Got there & was quickly being helped by Blue. First thing Blue noticed was that my posts were too long. Which was absolutely true because after 18 months of having these piercings I had not gone back to where I had gotten them to get my new piercings adjusted. Blue said they can take care of that for me & they did. Though not before Blue deftly & patiently helped me find upgrades to my three piercings. After about 45 minutes of Blue mixing & matching jewelry combos for me we settled on what you see in the picture. Great experience, great place. Thanks Blue!

I got a helix piercing and an upper lobe piercing done by Blue. He was very professional and very precise about placement. It didn't hurt at all, and it was a very quick procedure. Blue was very careful and made sure that I was comfortable and he talked to me through every step. Their jewelry is very beautiful and high quality. They carry inventory for every price point. It was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be going back for additional piercings.

I had an amazing experience at Apollo Tattoo today! The staff were all super friendly, helpful, and kind. My artist, Bri, was incredible—she did such an amazing job on my tattoo and made the whole experience so comfortable. I’m so thankful for the awesome service and would highly recommend Apollo Tattoo to anyone looking to get a tattoo!

Blue did a great job creating a Polynesian design and the tattoo work came out flawless. The shop is clean and everyone is very friendly

Just got two piercings from Steph. Had a great experience with her…fantastic touch and lovely human being! Would recommend her to anyone who is a first timer or someone who just loves getting pierced. Thank you so much Steph and to the entire Apollo team for working with me to find the right jewelry!!!

David was absolutely PHENOMENAL!
He was kind, gentle, and warm. I came on a trip to santa monica and after doing some research i landed on this tattoo shop and i am so glad i did. The vibes were extremely relaxing and chill which is exactly what you want when getting a tattoo. I highly highly recommend this place to anyone who visits or lives in the area. Thank you, David. 💗💗💗

This was my first time here at the shop , my tattoo artist was Raa , he was very professional and knowledgeable and knows exactly what he's doing. He is very experience at what he does best... My tattoo came out really good , but I had to go back to get a touch up because for my situation I had a little complication with the healing process, it was my fault for not taking proper care of my tattoo, but I went back to Raa and it actually came out better then the original, so I guess everything happens for a reason... lol no complaints only gratitude for his services 🙏

Super happy with my first tattoo, it was a great experience. Thank you!

Had a great overall experience. Everyone at the shop was super friendly. I got there a little early so I talked with the staff and learned about their experiences. They made me feel very comfortable so by my appointment time, I wasn't nervous at all. I was pierced by Steph. She took time to show me the jewelry available and answered all of my questions without judgment. She took time to make sure the placement of my piercing was perfect and made sure I understood how to properly care for my new piercing before leaving.

Highly recommend. You get what you pay for- is on higher end but quality of the work is worth it. Blue did amazing work bringing my watercolor piece to life. All the staff are great and personable/knowledgeable. Working on the piece, Blue is very detail oriented and I really underestimated time, but in this case to get a stunning piece definitely is worth taking the extra time

Blue did an awesome job job with design and fine line on my hummingbird tattoo. He is very knowledgeable and personable. I live in Northern California. Will come back again for a future tat!!! Thanks again Blue!!! You guys rock !!!

Hannah is amazing! I got two items from her flash and they were exactly as I’d hoped. The shop was extremely clean and everyone was professional and kind. 10/10 would go back.

I had a great experience with Steph for my ear piercing! It came out well and she was warm and put me at ease about the whole process. Very easy to work with.

Bri was awesome!

I got a tattoo today by Bri. I had a great experience. I felt taken care of in the design process and while receiving the tattoo. Apollo is really clean, they play good music and everyone is very friendly. Would definitely return. Thank you!

So clean and beautiful inside. Staff were incredibly professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Loved my experience!

10/10 very professional and clean studio. I got pierced by Bunny for my first ever piercing and they were very friendly and professional in answering all my questions and took great care in making sure the process was clean and enjoyable.

Excellent Studio! Brianna is great. Fun place to spend an afternoon. Highly recommended!

Had a great experience with Bunny and Blue! They are incredibly helpful and patient and so willing to answer all our questions throughout the process. Super friendly and made us feel very comfortable with a first piercing. Pricey but worth it knowing the quality of jewelry and experience of the artists is undoubtedly top notch. Thank you Blue and Bunny!

Loved my experience! Was clean, staff was friendly, and I love my second ear piercing! Great selection of jewelry too.

I had an amazing experience here getting my septum pierced. From the start, Bunny at the front was very helpful. She gave me an estimate, listened to my concerns, and made booking an appointment smooth and stress free. Knowing she is also an artist here, I trusted her professional opinion and felt reassured moving forward.

When it came time for the piercing, Blue handled everything with detail and precision. He made sure placement was set and perfectly symmetrical, which I really appreciate because I am huge on that. The jewelry selection was great as well, and overall the whole process felt professional and easy.

Thank you Bunny, Blue and team, I could not be happier with the result!

First time here and honestly if 10/10 was the max, I’d rate it 1000/10! Steph was super sweet and so helpful with me and my friend’s questions. For sure coming back again 🙂
