Irvine Ink Tattoo Studios

I’ve been getting tattoos here for almost 2 years now and I have had nothing but great experiences! Katt and Riggs are unbelievably talented artists. Cannot recommend them highly enough! 5 stars does not even give them justice.

Irvine ink has the best artists in town. I’ve never healed so beautifully and had such a lovely experience. I’ve recommended Riggs and his team to 3 people and they’ve all said the same thing “I love it here”.The artists that work here love what they do and it shows. I highly recommend coming here for your next or all your tattoos :)

I’ve been going to Irvine Ink for almost 2 years now and I’ll never go anywhere else! Kat (Kityykat.tatts on instagram), is the most caring, considerate and detail oriented artist I’ve ever experienced! She has done several of my coverup tattoos that several other artists told me the only way they could be covered is thick black lines or shaded completely black and turned them into dainty, thin lined artwork! Riggs is also amazing, although I’ve never been tattooed by him I’ve been in the shop nearly 10 times and seen the work he’s done and it’s amazing and super quick!! They are both super friendly and the shop has separate rooms rather than an open concept which I prefer especially for tattoos in places on the body you don’t want a bunch of people walking in and being able to see! Not to mention there is a yummy cafe 2 doors over with really good coffee and food options for any break times! 100000% recommend! 🤍

I emailed the owner, Riggs, and sent him a bunch of ideas I had along with a portrait of my dog (which came out IDENTICAL to my dog). He worked with me to bring all of my ideas together and came up with this beautiful nature sleeve. Hes an incredible artist with great ideas and I trusted him 100%. Hes insanely fast which is awesome because with his speed, you dont sacrifice any quality, you just dont have to sit in a chair as long. The shop has a great vibe, his other artists are all super nice, and hes very easy to talk to so sessions fly by and youre done before you know it! Im obsessed with my tattoo, I get countless compliments on it every single day - Thanks Riggs!!!

Got a helix piercing done by Amber and it was the smoothest piercing i’ve ever had. She was welcoming, nice, funny, and a phenomenal piercer. Very professional yet down to earth. Her technique was very smooth - I didn’t even feel the needle go in. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Katt did my orange blossom tattoo and she did an amazing job! This is my third time I’ve gone to her, and she’s done a great job each time! I totally recommend getting a tattoo from her! (She deserves all the hype!)

Katt did an amazing, beautiful, artistic job on my rose tattoo. It was my first and I was nervous. She put me at ease, explained each step of the procedure and made the experience great! I just love it and her.

Lovely place!!! my tattoo is amazing thanks to Brandon!! looks just like the picture i asked for!! nice people and good atmosphere!! :) great prices!

I got my ears pierced and the piercer Amber is a sweetheart! She made the experience so much greater. Truly an amazing talented person.

Went in to get a simple tattoo but got something amazing. Would easily recommend this place to anyone who is looking to get a tattoo. Great and fast service in a relaxing and comfortable environment.

Katt is amazing ♡ go check her out!

I got my belly pierced today with Amber, and I have to say it was the most positive piercing experience I’ve ever had. Upon request, she walked me through how the piercing was going to go and explained everything to me. I felt very comfortable and all of my needs were accommodated. The piercing is perfectly placed and was done with stellar technique. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely come again for another piercing and/or tattoo. Thanks Amber!!!

This is by far the best tattoo shop I have been to. It is so clean and everyone is so friendly here! Not like most tattoo shops that are slightly intimidating just walking into.My Artist was Katt and she did such an amazing job on the first tattoo that I had to go back for more. Her attention to detail and her art is amazing. I would 100% recommend this shop!!

Absolutely an amazing experience!!! A+++ to my artist Chad. I have been afraid of needles all of my life but I wanted to get my company name tattooed on my arm and make it special. I was absolutely hesitant in getting a tattoo because of my needle phobia but Chad walked me through the process, was gentle and at the end it didn’t really hurt that much. He is super professional in his manners as well, absolutely great personality. If you need an astounding tattoo artist Chad is your guy! You won’t regret his skills. Thank you Chad

Went in for a walk in sternum piece and Katt knocked it out of the park. She was so kind and patient with me while I changed the design several times. The spaces were clean and everyone was incredibly friendly. Visiting from Colorado, I have to say I’ll definitely be returning next time I come out this way. Incredible experience

Chad was referred to me from my friends! My boyfriend and I both got tattoos done by him and he was extremely clean, professional, and creative!!! I showed him a picture of what I wanted and he did a way better job than I expected! I was soooo happy with how it turned out, and I definitely recommend booking with him! I will be getting more tattoos from him soon.

Visiting from Perth Australia. Studio clean, staff friendly and Katt is just awesome. My tattoo is perfect and exactly what I wanted. Will definitely be coming back when I visit next year. ❣️

Chad was very professional and did a great job on my rib piece! He set up his station in front of me in a very meticulous fashion and made sure I was comfortable with the cleanliness by talking through step by step all the cleaning precautions he performs before tattooing. Durning the tattoo he was very friendly and we talked the whole time. Even though this was a tattoo designed by him he was very flexible with the design and made sure I was ok with what he was putting on my body at every turn. The execution of the tattoo was done with extreme care and knowing this was one of the most painful areas to get a tattoo he talked me through every stroke that might cause major discomfort, and even apologized for the pain I went through. He even provided refreshments before the tattoo to make sure I wouldn’t feel light headed during the procedure. All in all wonderful experience and would definitely go to Chad again for future tattoos!

Got a tattoo from the artist Chad, was extremely pleased. I already have many other tattoos so I’ll be honest I’m kind of picky, I have certain expectations. Chad problem solved a design with me to continue a whole theme for me. Professional, concise, and super clean with everything. Highly recommended. Will continue to go here until my sleeve is finished.

My brother and I got our first piercings today by Amber, she explained everything to us and made us feel better about the getting the piercing. So quick and easy -will definitely come back here!

Riggs is awesome! Hes done multiple pieces for me now and they turn out phenomenal everytime. Excellent, friendly service and always reasonable with pricing. If you havent checked out the artwork, youre missing out, he gets down. Will definitely be back soon for more!

The people were very friendly and courteous. Due to the situation of covid everyone wear mask. I google tattoos near me this what came up and Im very happy and pleased I went there on Thursday March 18 2021 and love the service and amazing artist Brandon and Katt and went back the next day. I was very happy I was able to contact the artist directly through their cell phone and was able to book that same day, thank you Brandon the outline tats. Katt thank you for the lower back tat. Both are amazing tattoo artist. I highly recommend going to visit the place and ask for those two amazing artistsThank you againDeanna

I’ve been to different tattoo and piercings shop before , I just want to say this place is amazing. The owner is the number one . I hardly recommend this place . They are supper clean and respectful. I love them all thank you RIGGS you are the BEST 🥰

I LOVE Beauty and The Ink! Ive gotten two small tattoos here and I fully intend on going back for more. Riggs is awesome and really friendly, not to mention the fact that he does very beautiful, clean work. The shop is also extremely clean, which is a lot different from a couple of the other shops Ive seen in Lake Forest.

The best experience on my first tattoo and my Artist Chad was an amazing person whit a great personality, Im so glad that my husband find him and the environment of the shop is so pleasant, clean, enjoyable and the Artists very nice people too, in general very nice place, thank you Chad ❤!!

Riggs gave me and my wife an experience we will always remember. He has some amazing tattoo skills and very friendly. I 100% recommend you to check out his studio

If I could I would give this business a 0 star, not even the business but the artist Kris. Throughout the last week I have made mulitiple appointments with Kris, and she has cancelled minutes before the appointment both times. Not only is this quite unprofessional, but it was my friends 20th birthday and making this appointment was very important to her considering she has been looking forward to this experience for quite some time. I havent actually gotten to see any of the work from her in person due to the fact that she has cancelled after rescheduling the appointment to fit her time and her personal schedule. My friend would have driven all the way there for her 12:30 appointment today if it wasnt for her last minute cancelation text about two minutes ago. The first time, we were already at the studio before she cancelled. The audacity...

Brandon is an artist. Made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Created a great tattoo for me based on a picture. I’m well pleased. I’ll be back for more ink. Thank you Brandon and Owner Ray.

Got my first tattoo from Chad because i got a good recommendations and I loved his portfolio. I was super happy that he was really clean and professional I’m defending going to go back to him to finish my full arm

Riggs is the man! He just finished my horror sleeve tattoo today and I love it! Highly recommended!

Katt is an amazing artist and very sweet & took her time even though I came in kind of late! Definitely recommend

I have gotten two tattoos from Tim and he is the most gentle, charismatic dude! I’ve come back and will continue getting tattoos from this talented man. I recommend Tim highly!!!!
