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.

Thank you so much for the memorable palm, Hannah! Best, Alina Xx

Me and my two friends showed up with a crazy idea for matching tattoos. And when I tell you that Bri not only jumped at the idea, she made the entire experience fun and comfortable! If you’re looking for a tattoo shop then this is it! Just make sure to ask for Bri!

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.

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🙏😩

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!

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.

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

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.
