Simms Ink

I went there earlier today and it was amazing! The piercer is very nice and she did a great job piercing my nose. The price was also great too! Only 40 bucks, and it includes jewelry. They even give you a paper that tells you how to take care of what you got. The timing was only 5 minutes. This is what I call a great shop.

I got matching tattoos with my beloved and Cordelia was great. I came in with a decent idea of what I wanted and she offered styling suggestions that I wouldnt have otherwise thought of, and I decided to go with them! Shes easygoing, made sure that we were comfortable, has a very steady hand with clean line work and was obviously very meticulous about details. 100% intend to come back to her in the future.

I just came in 30 minutes before closing for help putting a nose ring back in. To say I’m sensitive is an understatement. The whole crew was super welcoming and Divine walked me through the whole process. Checking into make sure I was doing ok.I’m thrilled to have my piecing back in and highly recommend. Shop was clean and welcoming too.Thanks Simms!

Got my first tattoo. They are awesome! Very friendly. Very clean shop. Cant wait to get my next tattoo.

Fast, clean, professional. Tasha double pierced my helix and fitted my existing conch quickly. She was great, thanks! I will definitely be back next time I fancy a new hole in my head!Also, loved the beautiful, well cared for fish tank. I was mean-mugged by some tropical fish during my short wait and there were some adorable starfish babies all over the place!

Miles is the man. He put my dog Kodi on my lower right leg a month ago. Went in today for just a little touch up. Great job Miles. I will definitely be back.

Absolutely overpriced. Apprentice charged 400$ for a few poorly done turtles 😂 I’ve had better tattoos done for less by artists in the industry for years. Hell I’ve traveled to better artists for less! Not to mentions the owners history of discrimination and drinking while tattooing. Had to see it for myself and it was all true! Unbelievable really 😂

This review is after 6 months of dealing with my piercings. I went to get the other side of my nose pierced, a triple helix on one side and a double helix on the other side. The piercing its self went well. Very little pain and she went right through with one fell swoop of the needle. I liked that. But when she lined up my nose piercing to match the other side, she pierced NOTICEABLY LOWER than my original. I ended up taking out my original nose piercing to match the one she did because I honestly liked that placement a little more. Then EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF MY HELIX PIERCINGS AND NOSE PIERCING FELL OUT AND STARTED GETTING IRRITATION BUMPS! I’ve had a ton of piercings over the years and NEVER had a piercing bump till now. I went to get a second opinion, he said it’s because my skin on my ear is thicker and the piercing jewelry was too small and tight on my ear cause the skin to push against it and fall out and create irritation. They shouldn’t given longer jewelry because not everyone’s ear is going to be the same thickness. Not to mention, my piercing weren’t aligned properly at all! So when they fell out because then being too small they were extremely painful to get back in because the angle was janky. I ended losing 3 of 6 piercings they did for me. I can’t say I would recommend this place to anyone at all.

Love this place!!!! Me and My Life Partner got our infinity symbols done here last Sunday!! GREAT JOB!! And the lady that is the expert on dermal in there is OFF THE HOOK TOO. She is great. Personality and everything.

I get all my stuff done here. Every artist Ive had has been friendly and awesome at their work. Im going in soon with my brother so he can get his first tattoo there. Even the frikkin lobby is rad.

Rick is a great Tattoo artist who did a spectacular job on my body art.

Justin, thanks for an awesome Job. Came here just a walk in matching tattoos with my sister and had a really good experience and came back for a second one. Really recommend it. Thank you!!

What a Great place! Loved it! We had My Daughters ear pierced for the first time. They were amazing. The place itself is so Cool. Folks are friendly and professional. Inspired me to want My first Tat!

Amazing experience! Came with my niece and her family for her to get her first piercing. We got to wait in the cool lounge (pool table, arcade games, bar, TV, coffee, donuts, foozeball, vending machine) and once it was my niece’s turn, Natasha was super professional and fast. I decided to get a piercing too and she got me in right away. Natasha was kind, precise, and great with her apprentice. You can tell she loves her job and cares to teach someone the right way to do things. 10/10 would recommend and def will be back.

I’ve been getting pierced by Natasha for over 10 years now and I’m always so happy to see that she’s still here doing what she does best. There is literally no one else I would trust with all my piercing needs. She is quick, placement is perfect every time, helps you breathe through the process, and all my piercings by her (total of 9) have always healed beautifully.

Amazing place. Inside is even more awesome. I thought it was a tad bit pricey (however, Im not a tattoo artist so I cant compare or complain). Ink came out perfect and Justin was awesome to talk to. The whole process took less than an hour.

Myles Madlock is the best tattoo artist! He brings my ideas to life.

I took my teenage daughters to get helix ear piercings. They were very knowledgeable and comforting as we were all pretty scared. The place is huge, its clean, the people are courteous and made us feel comfortable with the procedure. I was very pleased. If I ever go for a service like this again, I will definitely use this shop.

Super friendly.... I went in to have my first piercings done and everything went so smoothly. Alexis put me right at ease, went through all my questions and took her time making sure I felt comfortable about the placement and the process. She really knows her stuff.

Justin did me and my sons tattoos, we got matching bible verses, he did an awesome job on both of them, his script is on point, he has such a steady hand, we will definitely be back to see him in the future. Also, the shop is very clean and comfortable, the staff is very friendly and accommodating! So glad we found this gem of a shop! I Will definitely recommend this shop to all of my friends and family looking for quality ink! Thanks Justin!

Wow! Natasha was NOT JOKING! Her CONFIDENCE is as OUTSTANDING as her skills! Our first time here but not the last! The entire shop is CLEAN - overall, very pleased with Natasha & Simms Ink

They are all super nice and chill. If you go in there they try to help you right away. My friend got a tattoo there and they got it done no problem. We also just went there to get some piercing and they sanitized everything real professional and i say again they are really nice. 10/10 will go again!

I got 4 piercing from Alexis today. She did an amazing job on my helix piercing and double ear lobe piercings. She is professional and very educated in ear anatomy. I had a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Alexis! Xoxo

Great artists and staff in general always willing to answer questions without feeling as if they are annoyed by you have been there for a number of tattoos and piercings even though they are close to an hour drive away it’s always worth it!

GO TO PETERS SKIN ART AND TATTOOS, WAY CHEAPER AND WAY BETTER, NICE LITTLE ASIAN COUPLE VERY SWEET. THEY ARE CHEAP BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE TO SHARE THE FUNDS SO SUPPER SUPER CHEAP AND VERY NICE WORK!!! WAY BETTER WORK THEN THESE DRUNKS

My first time getting a tattoo. My experience was amazing. Everyone is very friendly. I love the layout of the shop. Everything was very clean and well kept. When I get another tattoo in the future, I will definitely go back to Myles Madlock. 😊

Great, have gotten stuff peirced here multiple times. honest and professional!

DO NOT DO WALKINS, I went to Paul, I went and did a simple arm tattoo not that big and not that much detail. He complained about the detail and how difficult small lines are... I Got charged $400 for a completely amateur attempt at trying to fill in the dark spots and make straight lines. I wasnt shaking at all and it looks like something I could do better than on my first try with my opposite arm. I will ask someone with real skill at tattooing to fix this 4 year old drawing on my arm not Paul.

You would think someone couldnt mess up a simple ear piercing but I got 2 ear piercings on each lobe and the woman there managed to mess up 1 on each ear. One wasnt lined up with the other piercings, and the other was at a drastic angle, so much so that it wouldnt heal properly and I had to take it out. Now I have to wait months for it to close to repierce properly. Dont get pierced here unless you make sure theyll take their time with it

Have been looking for a good shop for a while and have finally found it. Have gotten three separate tattoos done here now, two of which were done by Myles. Couldnt be happier. I have found my artist.....finally. All of the artists here are beyond talented and do amazing work, but for me personally, if Myles isnt available, then Ill wait or make an appointment for when he is. BTW, walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are HIGHLY recommended. I wont go anywhere else for my work!

Great artists here.Very hospitable staff.Great pricing for QUALITY work.No it hasnt changed.. If anything its gotten better. I was just there and saw Justin.. Wonderful artist

I had just turned 16 on the 5th & I went and got my belly button done. Their waiting room was super cool and calming. He was not only super nice, but he was thorough job and was quick! He made sure to let me know what was happening and when. He made sure to cover all the bases of cleaning and keeping up on the peircing. Overall-GREAT JOB. It was 50$ for the peircing. And I also bought 2 plugs(both for 10$) and another ring to switch it out when the time comes($20). I ended up paying $85 and it was well worth it when you know it was done right and everything was cleaned!

Love the piercer!I got my nose pierced here and then went from a stud to a hoop. I went in two more times to change jewelry and ask more questions. I felt a tad annoying but everyone there is so nice :)

Wow wow 👌 wow. Got my daughters and my nose piercing. Staff was incredibly nice and professional. Am coming back very soon for a more.

Rick did an amazing job on my sleeve. His artwork is really great. The staff was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back for more work.

Simms Ink is probably one of the best tattoo parlos in the East Bay, very nice staff, and they do excellent work, when you go make sure to ask for Punch ..one of the best artist there, he is really a cool kick back guy, and he reasonable.Simms, parlor looks small from the outside, until you start to venture in further, exposing an incredible place, very roomy and the decor is fabulous almost like home, so I am giving Simms the two thumbs up.

I got my septum done here and the piercer Alexis was really kind and patient and she knew what she was doing. Im glad I went here because I was really worried for this piercing, but her calm and kind demeanor helped me relax through it.

Great service and atmosphere!

Best place in the bay area to get tattoos and piercings! Vance is a wonderful and fast tattoo artist. Zack is a super clean and talented piercer! Highly recommend!

Drop in visit, super quick friendly service. Great tattoo artist. Decent prices!! Personable and helpful in teaching me how to relax thru the pain. Definitely going back for more.

Amazing work done here by amazing artists, always worth the money. Plus its a dope spot to chill before getting your tattoos and piercings. Everyone here is very skilled and very talented.

Got my wolf done in memory of my cousin Taylor . I will forever carry her in my heart. You get what you pay for dont knock this place because of the price you pay the money you get a piece of art that you are proud to carry with you for the rest of your life! I will be coming back for all my future tattoos Thank you for the best tattoo I could ever imagined ! Miguel Flores is the OG he took my pic and made it come to life with everything I wanted thank you so much !!

I’ve been both pierced and tatted her once. The piercer was fine. The guy that tatted me didn’t cover my tatt when it was done. Also, a friend who got tatted here said her artist just covered her tatt up with a paper towel when it was done.

I got my nose pierced year it went great and I got a tattoo on both hands which are notorious for not holding ink and one thing that I really respected is that they gave you a free touch up on that definitely planning on coming back to get more work done Mr. tattoos was who did my tattoo and touch up everybody’s super friendly It’s a great shop have no complaints at all

Jen, Chris & Matt (& Paul!) have all put ink on me. They are top-notch artists! Brought all my tattoo ideas to life, even more than I could imagine. I will never go anywhere else 💕

I had my first tattoo done at Simms July 7 2018 I was back 2 months later for a second one and just got my third one here in October Miguel is amazing artist I love all the work hes done for me.

Great place to get a tattoo if thats what youre into Im not I only went there cuz a friend of mine was fixing their video machines but their work looks like its done very very professionally they have a full-size bar in there they also have a full size pool table couches to sit on and relax while youre waiting for your friend or waiting for your appointment video machines they also have a Harley-Davidson pinball machine I highly recommend that pinball machine its great they also have a motorcycle shop downstairs a museum with some vintage motorcycles

Great service and friendly artists. They do quality work!

Pancho is a fantastic artist! Simms is the place to go for quality tattoos. Recently remodeled super clean

Absolutely trash tattoos charged $300 and it’s all trash I literally could have done better myself. He never changed the needle my work literally is trash and it’s in my hands the ink is just a scab and it spread

My piercer (Alexis) was kind, efficient and skillful. Good conversation, minimal pain and she didnt seem to tire of my many questions. Thanks again!

It was great! the people were so friendly. I got two piercings there and I am going back today for another.

Stupid chick gave me the wrong piercing. Then she cut her finger open and had to go to the hospital. Amateur at best possibly dangerous. I would recommend going to a real professional for your piercings.

I was trying to get a tattoo from this place and the guy I was talking to tried to over charge me for a upper shoulder tattoo $1200 when I went to see how much other people were charging they told me $400-$600. Over priced and they guy didn’t even do good tattoos.

Great place for tattoos (I personally havent gotten a piercing). Rick is my guy!! His artwork and shading is amazing

Very clean environment makes me feel comfortable the pricing are good i got both lube pierce twice in each side for $100 not to bad.

Best place if youre looking to get a tattoo

This business does not value the individuals (both customers and employees) that have uplifted them throughout their time in the Bay Area. Shame.
