Cleopatra Ink Tattoo & Piercing Santa Barbara Studio

I absolutely cant say enough good things about this place and all the people who work here! My tattoo came out so cute, as did my moms. More than fair pricing, thorough prep/design so you get exactly what you want, and professional/kind/talented artists. I will definitely be coming back as soon as I can for another tattoo!

Second experience over at Cleopatra. They crush it over here. Super friendly. Caner was a super nice guy did a great job on the design and Burcu did an awesome job laying it down on skin. Super fast and and easy hand. Got my mom in for her first tattoo with me and she’s stoked. Thanks guys 🙏

I was in town for the week and decided to get my first tattoo while I was here. I was right down the street and decided to go to Cleopatra. I had a specific design in my head and was able to work with the designer who made the design come to life and tweak it to make it perfect. And then Rain was my artist and she did the most detailed and beautiful work, she was also super sweet and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend! Also super clean and adorable shop.

Went for first tattoo last night, was an amazing experience. Shop was very modern, sophisticated, and clean. Staff was helpful, educated with their line of work, and kind. The tattoo is super clean, cute, and lines are amazing. Was very satisfied and will be going again!

The people are so nice and really great artists. My Tattoo is as beautiful as I wished. Great work! Thanks a lot!

Came to Santa Barbara for an anniversary trip and walked by this shop. Went in for a walk-in and we couldn’t be happier with the tattoo and the service! Everyone is so nice! Caner is a great host and Arca helped us design everything. Best place around!

My whole family was with me when I got my tattoo. It was my first time and Cleopatra Ink people took such great care of all of us. Burcutatts did my tattoo and she has the gentlest touch. We had a great time!

Fantastic shop - clean and friendly! Caner was super nice and helpful and hooked us up with coffee. We went in for just a piercing and left with tattoos as well. Definitely will come back next time in town!

I recently visited this tattoo studio and was thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness of the place. The entire environment was spotless and well-maintained, which immediately put me at ease. The tattoo artists here are exceptionally talented and skilled, producing beautiful and precise work. Each design is crafted with care and attention to detail. Additionally, the staff is incredibly professional, making the entire experience smooth and comfortable. Special thanks to Ozzy, the Supervisor, who was extremely helpful to us. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable, ensuring you feel confident and relaxed throughout the process. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for high-quality tattoos in a clean and professional setting.

AWESOME experience with this establishment. Got my first tattoo at the best and most reasonable price. I made an appointment with ease. I arrived that day and was greeted. No problems start to finish. I had a great experience :)

A family trip to remember…arrived in Santa Barbara with our kids and walked past the shop, went in and chatted with Simon, then witnessed Calvin’s talent on the IPad with our personal choices. After looking at the artists work via their Instagram page, we chose to make this vacation extra special and 5 out of 6 us were tattooed this afternoon by a wonderful talented man, Memo and woman, Rain (the 6th was too young to get one).

Had a great experience! The staff is super helpful and friendly. They made me feel welcome and are all well versed in their craft! Definitely recommend!!! (Forgot to mention that the tattoo I got came out super nice)

The workers here were so very helpful as soon as I walked in asking for what type of tattoo style I wanted when I wasnt sure. They continued To help me out with ideas and I found out which style tattoo I wanted thanks to their prosistance. Overall I would totally come back like next week and recommend friends. They are very friendly, and professional and easy to get along with. Thank you Cleopatra Ink !!

Arca took our designs and improved them. Mehmet did my ink and it turned out better than I expected. Rain did my wifes ink and she is very happy. Thank you Arca, Rain, and Mehmet.

Our family had a wonderful time here. My oldest daughter got her ears pierced while her younger sisters watched. Vanessa did an excellent job, talking to my daughter as she did the piercing. We were also able to buy alcohol spray for cleaning at the salon. When we had any questions my daughter was able to text them to Vanessa and always got a very speedy reply! Her ears healed quickly without any problems or infections. 10/10, I expect we’ll be back in the years to come.

This place is amazing and the people that work here are so kind and welcoming. I came in to get a design from Arca and Burcu tattooed me the next day. Her line work is perfect. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely be returning!

Caner is such an awesome guy! He did a great feather design for my son’s tattoo! Loved hanging w him and chatting. 👍🏼

I visited Santa Barbara Cleopatra Ink studio and I am very satisfied. I love my tattoo. The designers and tattoo artists are very attentive. When I wanted to make a few changes to the tattoo design, they did it immediately, and I loved the results. They are reliable and very caring. The shop is very clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get a tattoo 😍

I went in for my first tattoo and they did an amazing job. They have a great consultation service and made me feel really comfortable about getting my tattoo from them. The tattoo itself turned out exactly how I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. Will definitely be recommending them to my friends in the future!

It was a great experience here at Cleopatra Ink in SB, awesome vibe in the shop, very clean, and Rain did an awesome job on my tattoo. I would recommend to anyone in SB!

Awesome experience, they hooked it up with a tattoo I needed to touch up. Very friendly, welcoming and clean! Great vibe overall. Will definitely be coming back for more tattoos or piercings!! Best place ever.

Super friendly and helpful staff! I love when you walk into a tattoo or piercing show and are welcomed with a nice smile! Thanks for changing out my piercing guys!!

I got my ears pierced with my friend and the piercer was super rude!!! She came in yelling at the front desk people and making snide. comments on where we wanted to get pierced (ear and nose) . Overall felt rushed and that we were burdening them by even being there. Really expensive and I recommend going elsewhere for piercings.

The entire experience was great! Walked in, asked about a tattoo, had rendering made, set appointment for the next day and had it done in less than 4 hours! So so satisfied! Highly recommend!

I usually don’t write reviews but I felt I had to do it. I went to this establishment just being curious and I have one of the best experiences. The place was spot clean and sanitize. I decided to retouch all my tattoos after more than 20 years old. My overall experienced was exceptional. I was very impressed by the new advanced technology, knowledge and professionalism of the whole staff. I felt very comfortable and welcomed. Onur is my the best tattoo artist! I also had a body pierce with Vanessa and she was very gentle and efficient. I really recommend this place.

We walked in and were taken care of right away! They drew up our designs exactly like we asked, but better! We got an appointment day of and they were so reasonable on the price! We are road-tripping through and would nearly stop again on the way back 😂 Burcu was our artist and she is honestly AMAZING. Highly, highly recommend!!

Such amazing customer service and care. The artist matched the design perfectly. Cant recommend Cleopatra Ink highly enough!! And its the cleanest establishment!! Quick and painless!!

Had a really great experience getting a piece added to my existing tattoos! It was super easy to get a walk-in consultation and make an appointment. The vibe is relaxing and the folks here were professional, friendly, and lovely.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TATTOO!! it’s my first tattoo ever and i was nervous before going in and the staff was all so friendly and welcoming even though i was a walk in with no appointment. my tattoo came out exactly how i pictured it. i definitely recommend to check them out!!

Vanessa was such a great piercer! The process was so quick and easy! And I’m in love with my piercings. 100% recommend this place, and she was so sweet!

I had an amazing experience getting my alligator tattoo. I had to reschedule a couple of times and they were very understanding and help me find a day that worked!! The artist was amazing and very caring. I would definitely recommend them !! And I’m personally going back to them 😁

I called and I was able to get my tattoo in one hour. The shop is sooooo clean and cute. Huge spacious. Everyone is respectful and nice. This is not a “Saran Wrap and tape”-shop. I had wording done. The designer showed me over 20 ideas to that matched my request on an iPad. He then designed it, we fixed a few things and then go time! My artist @onurgokce.tattooer (his instagram) was light and steady handed. Took no more than 30-40 mins to finish. It was not even half as bad in pain than i thought. He does really good realistic pics!!!

First time coming here and all I can say is wow! They were all super friendly and caring. While I was getting my tattoo I would get asked if I wanted any water or drinks. I’m definitely coming back again to get another tattoo.

Vanessa helped me today to change the bar in my pre-existing jewelry. She was super friendly and great about checking in regarding my comfort and pain levels all the while, and inviting of me to connect with her about the progress of the healing. Super recommend!

Amazing experience !!! Loved the design they put together as per my suggestions. Definitely explore your ideas with them. Great service, very patient from the beginning, creative and professional.

I got a tattoo done at Cleopatra Ink and I couldnt be happier with the experience and the final result! Onur and Calvin were incredibly talented and professional, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The shop was clean and they followed all safety protocols. My tattoo turned out exactly how I envisioned it with crisp lines and vibrant colors. I highly recommend Celopatra Ink to anyone looking for top-notch tattoo work!

There are great artists. They were very helpful with the design. I recommend it to everyone, its a very hikyenik and fun place.

This place was absolutely incredible. Everyone was nice and professional. An artist took the time to create and sketch a whole sleeve for my fiancé and collaborated with us. Very talented kind people. Prices were reasonable aswell! Even though we didn’t get the sleeve they weren’t annoyed and took the time to get to know us aswell. Come here!!!

Just got a tattoo I was looking forward to getting and my friend recommended this shop and they were super friendly tattoo came out amazing 100% will come back

Had a beautiful time at Cleopatra Ink. Was assisted by Anour, who helped to place two wonderful tattoos on my feet. The environment is clean, staff friendly, music mellow, a great addition to both my tattoos and State Street! Welcome to the neighborhood!

I brought in a design that I had created, but it wasn’t the right fit. They helped me re-create the design with the elements that I wanted, and it kept the meaning. The tattoo artist was great.

I had an amazing experience at cleopatra ink Santa Barbara ! The artists are incredibly talented and professional. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and turned my vision into a beautiful piece of art. The studio is clean and has a great atmosphere, making you feel comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch tattoo work!

Came to explore new tattoo shops came across Cleopatra Ink in Santa Barbara. Spoke to Calvin about the shop a couple times who’s usually outside advertising, an amazing designer named Calvin for consultation on how my tattoo would look on me all done on his iPad and the Artist Mehmet who I’m more than impressed with on how he caught the small details of my realism tattoo and made it look great overall. Will be coming back for more! THEY ALSO DO PIERCINGS!

Amazing staff and amazing artist. They do beautiful work. Very light hand when it comes to shading it makes you what to get more tattoos ! I love the work. I will be back . You wont be disappointed.

I went to this tattoo parlor to get an idea of the type of tattoo I want. I was immediately greeted and sat down to go over the tattoo over photoshop. They took my input and added to my tattoo to perfect it. Can’t say enough about the culture of this tattoo parlor and was very delighted with the results.

Fantastic experience. Very enjoyable and genuine service. Attention to detail and care about the art. Sick tattoos :) thank you

I went to Cleopatra Ink a few days ago to get my septum pierced. This was my 15th piercing on my body, so I am quite familiar with the process. I was pierced by a woman named Vanessa, who was extremely nice, but the piercing itself was traumatic. Once she clamped my septum, she told me to take a deep breathe and the needle was sliding through, but it did not go all the way. I heard two like crunch pops, but I knew it hadnt come out on the other end. She kept saying hmm its not going through, im not sure why, and I could hear the worry and uneasiness in her voice, making me more nervous. She then proceeds to take the needle out, and then tells me we are going to try again. I then get re-stabbed with this needle, and still its not going through. She then tells me the needle is bending inside of me and crooked? I am like silently freaking out at this point and squeezing my friends hand beyond belief. After what feels like forever of her attempting to shove this needle through my septum, it finally comes out on the other end. She then goes to put the jewelry in, and drops it. Of course she grabbed a new sterile one. To be frank, its possible my septums anatomy was thicker than normal or deviated? I am not sure, because every septum piercing video I see is usually pretty swift and smooth, but this was quite traumatic and painful. When I opened my eyes, she was cleaning my nose with a blood soaked tissue. My friend said she had to look away during it because she physically couldnt watch and see all the blood. I honestly am pretty easy going and have never even written any sort of review, but I just did not feel comfortable or confident with the piercer and felt the need to let others know. I love the piercing itself, but am quite worried about the healing process, as I am not sure if its on the sweet soft spot, or if its in some cartilage.

Vanessa was awesome! She helped me with my piercing, so professional and kind!!! Will come back here for my next piercing. Nico

Very clean and friendly environment! Everyone there made it possible for me to get the style I wanted. I am extremely happy with my tattoo 🥰

This place is fabulous!! It’s light, modern and filled with happy employees. I brought my daughter in to get her nose pierced after another shopped dissed us — happy they did bc Cleopatra is the best!

Vanessa did a fantastic job piercing my ears. She was fast, painless and friendly.The shop was very clean also.

I had a quick and easy nose piercing experience with Vanessa, she was great; I appreciated her patience. Ill definitely be referring people to her.

I was in Santa Barbara on vacation and walked in and was able to get my tattoo! Very clean and professional! I would definitely recommend!

I did a walk in and I only waited about 20 minutes before I was sat in a chair. Amazing work!!! Staff was super friendly and when I went in, they were open for about 2 weeks. Amazing people, perfect location, and great work. Definitely coming back to get more work done here

The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. the tattoo turned out perfectly in a matter of minutes

Words cant express how grateful I am to have come across this shop,i had been dealing with a tattoo no artist seemed to capture what I had in my mind, but anastassia exceeded all expectations and more, the hospitality from the very start had me impressed, from the man who greeted me at the door,to the nice guy I had a consultation with, they listened to me and heard my concerns and my wants, there the absolutely best at what they do especially my artist anastassia, on top of that they have fair reasonable prices , Ive been to a lot of artist in my days and anastassia is by far the the best and most gentle and talented artist Ive ever encountered, the whole shop is just full of genuinely nice people

Amazing service

Fantastic experience, friendly staff, beautiful work!!

Wonderful experience.My family and I are in Santa Barbara to celebrate the life of my uncle who recently passed and we wanted tattoos to honor him. A group of 9 of us walked in, were taken care of right away and all done in a reasonable amount of time. We are all very impressed with their service and their talent, the detail in small pieces and line precision. Absolutely recommend

Absolutely the best Tattoo shop the artist are fabulous. We had 8 family members getting tattoos today. Couldn’t be happier with the tattoos and staff. Highly recommend.

It’s was amazing, the workers there was so nice and friendly. My experience was just perfect. And my tattoo is even better.Thanks so much to this team.

Best tattoo I’ve ever gotten. Everyone was so nice and professional from start to finish—Caner made the process very streamlined and Burcu was so sweet and is an incredible artist.

Great service for me i as a walk incaner is a great man very kind and helpful

We spontaneously came to the studio to get a tattoo for our trip to the USA. Caner gave us a warm welcome and great advice.For our ideas, each of us took time to create exactly the Moriv that each of us imagined.The tattoo was done by Rain and she works very carefully and the tattoo that was done was simply remarkable.We were in good hands all around and would stop by any time we were on the west coast again. Thank you for that! 😊

Super clean, nice and tidy studio with a friendly crew. Es Caner was super friendly and took perfect care of us. Rain did the tattoo and worked extremely cleanly and precisely 🙏🏼 I can recommend this studio with a clear conscience.

Perfect design, super fast, top cleanliness, really kind and professional staff.The only flaw is the very high price, I spent €150 for a small and thin tattoo

While looking for a tattoo studio we happened to pass Cleopatra. At first we were a bit skeptical about the cleanliness etc. After we entered the tattoo studio, these concerns quickly disappeared. Everything was very professional. It was my first tattoo and I was a little nervous about whether everything would go well.At this point I would like to thank the tattoo artist Mehmet Gökkara once again, who did his work very professionally and precisely. I would come again👌🏻

Super helpful, beautiful tattoo.A thousand thanks!

Good welcome, friendly staff

I loved it I recommend it
