My daughter wanted to get (another) pericing done on her ear. Her normal spot in BH was closed, and we searched and found Apollo. Really happy we did. Bunny is excellent with customers. Very informative, professional, great communicator. Put this nervous dad at ease and made my daughter comfortable as well. Sure, you can find places that are cheaper, but you get what you pay for.

I was in LA visiting for a conference and was in the area having breakfast and waiting for my scheduled biking tour of the Santa Monica and Venice beaches. I wanted to get a tattoo but wasn't sure about finding a good spot that took walk ins...also it was around 8:00 in the morning. Apollo Tattoo & Piercing was open AND were able to get me in, customize my tattoo vision all in time for my 10:00 tour! I was impressed and am happy with my tattoo.

In town visiting my godson (and his parents I suppose!). I live in London these days, got a matching tattoo with my godson's mom. David was great, and Bunny helped me out with some new jewelry for my cartilage piercings. Nice shop, good memories for my visit!

I received great service. Upon walking in I was greeted by the owner who was well informed about the piercing I wanted. Showed me all the jewelry options that were available. Piercing was painless and quick. I will return for future services and will recommend this shop to others.

Had a wonderful and memorable experience at Apollo Tattoo this weekend and highly recommend. Brought my daughters to get their naval pierced while visiting from out of town. Chose the studio bc of their ratings and reviews, and was further impressed as soon as walked in. Shop is extremely clean, bright, friendly and professional staff with beautiful jewelry on display. Blue did both their piercings and spent over an hour ensuring they were properly taken care of - meticulous exam and placement, and most importantly their comfort - he was amazing. One of my girls was starting to breathe a bit shallow due to nerves and he immediately knew how to care for her and did not rush a second of the process. Their follow up care advice access is also appreciated, can’t say enough good things about Blue and Apollo.

Went there for a dydoe piercing. The space was laboratory clean and private. Blue was very professional. Amazing communicator and made sure I was comfortable from beginning to end. He answered any concerns I had before and after the piercing. They had a good selection of piercings. I’ll definitely go here again for my next piercing and probably for another tattoo.

Absolutely perfect studio for both tattoos and piercings. My first experience at the shop was with Bunny, who changed some jewelry for me and did a killer job. Came back for a tattoo that was done by Bri who is incredibly talented and will be my tattoo girl for life now. Had the best time talking and hanging out during the process, she's the sweetest and couldn't have done a better job on the piece. I have also been back for a consultation with Blue dealing with some stubborn piercing trouble from another studio and he couldn't have been more helpful trying to figure the situation out. Will yet again be my piercer for every future piercing. These are awesome people who are extremely knowledgeable and great at what they do, I completely trust them for both tattoo and piercing needs. Shop is beautiful and extremely clean, gorgeous quality jewelry, rad people, and prices that you'll say "damn that's a steal" for the service and art done. 100/10 recommend!

I had a great experienced at Apollo. I went in for a hip dermal removal. Sadly, I’ve had to part ways with this era of my life. Blue did my removal and he was patient, calm and gentle. I had a bar and an anchor dermal and I’ve had them in for 15 years. The bar came out no problem. The anchor removal definitely made me sweat a bit but Blue handled it with as little scarring as possible. Thank you to the Apollo team! I would definitely recommend for any piercing removals. I’ll be coming back for my next piercing, when I’m ready.

Had a great experience at Apollo for my helix piercing. Booking was easy, the staff helped me choose beautiful jewelry within my budget, and the piercer took her time to make sure the placement was perfect and explained aftercare thoroughly. The space was clean and professional. I came back four weeks later to downsize the post and the follow-up was just as smooth. I’ll definitely be back for future piercings and jewelry.

I had a wonderful experience getting my ears pierced here! I had a consultation with Bunny and Blue. They helped me map my ear and talk through different options. I wanted a fun third ear piercing, but have small earlobes and uneven first holes. We ended up doing a “constellation” design and I LOVE IT!! They were patient and so helpful mapping out options. They didn’t rush me and were transparent with pricing. 10/10 will go back to them or recommend them to a friend.

Had the best experience at The Apollo! Starting with Hanna for choosing the pieces and Blue piercing my ears, it was just perfect. Got 2 lobe piercings plus my second industrial and I'm super happy with all of it. Thank you 🙏

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.

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!

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.

From first-timers to piercing collectors, clients rave about the Apollo experience. Whether it’s finding the perfect placement, getting guidance on jewelry and placements that perfectly suit your anatomy and style, or simply feeling seen and supported—you’re in good hands here.

Just ask the hundreds who’ve shared their Apollo piercing stories.
