Kokopelli Ink Tattoo & Piercings

I am so happy yesterday I got the industrial and rook done and I got my Daith removed all done by Johnny. I was told before that I didn’t have the anatomy for the industrial but he took a look and said that I could get it done I didn’t have a lot of cash so sadly I didn’t leave a tip but I’ll be going back again soon so I’ll make sure to give him a great tip. I was really happy with the result and how fast he was able do it!

Ive never gotten a tattoo here so I cannot review that portion of the shop, but I HAVE gotten pierced multiple times by Johnny, the resident piercer (@johnnydapiercer).Before my most recent visit, I had my nostril and septum pierced by Johnny. I went this past weekend to get my nipples pierced by him and the service was great, so I felt compelled to let the people know!Johnny is a professional in every sense of the word. He is very nice, confident, and is straight to the point. I love that he has his own private room in the back of the shop. I was so anxious about getting my nips pierced, but Johnnys presence was very calming and led to a very fast and easy transaction.He charges 40 per piercing, and that includes some very basic, piercing-safe jewelery. I got both nips pierced, so it came out to 80 bucks. If I had to get them pierced again, I would definitely come back to him.Just a note, they do require masks here and only accepted cash for my piercings.

Came here to pierce my 2 daughter’s ears and let me tell you , cleanest process I’ve seen. Hands down recommend this place for piercings, Thank you so much !Edit: my one daughter was 7 years old and my other daughter was 6 months

They’re super professional, I love that place. Thank you Gabriel, very nice work.

Went with my sister, Walk-ins were welcomed. She got an industrial for $40 and I got a helix for $20. It was very quick, Jhonny was very precise and to the point with no pain at all. The place is very clean and welcoming with cool music. The entire staff is very friendly. Will definitely keep coming and recommending friends and family :)Also I got a free sticker!Dont hesitate to ask about pricings and availability theyre VERY friendly through the phone as well.

Came to get my septum pierced yesterday afternoon, loved the whole process the piercer was a badass!! He walked me through everything :)! Would recommend anyone to come here !🙌

Finally new artists better service i love their piercing person johnny really nice professional and makes sure your okay 👌🏽So initially i had a great experience for a while till i got my snake eyes pierced… worst decision ever!! He couldnt stop the bleeding at all the pain was unbearable it got swollen and i took it off the next day! I went to a different shope they did it no bleeding no pain and im happy wit the results!!(Yoruba house tattoos piercings and supplies) and its 25$ cheaper!!!

I really wanted to support the piercer from all the good things I’ve heard about him but from my experience today, his posted schedule was at 12pm, which I was then told until 12:30 he’d be coming in, he didn’t come in until 1pm. How can you show up late to work with clients arriving before you? To top it off he pierced my new left nostril piercing crooked in comparison to my right side. His marking looked accurate, & i trusted him since I heard hes good. However, once he pierced my left side it came out way higher than my right. He didn’t give me a warning or breathing exercise either when he was going in with the needle. Unfortunately I had to take out my ring by the end of the night because the symmetry was way off. Honestly very unprofessional, such a let down. I don’t understand what the hype is.

I got my industrial piercing here about two years ago, and it healed great! I went to the Friday the 13th event on 10/13/23 and got a nose and helix piercing. The piercer was professional, answered questions, and the piercings were quick and smooth. I highly recommend coming here for piercings.

Got a helix piercing yesterday 06/20/23. I went at around 5:30 pm, and piercer was out for lunch, but as soon as he was back he tended to us very quickly. First piercing, but it was relatively painless, its the day after and I have no pain at all. Really good hand, totally worth more than the $20. Thank you!

Very clean and professional, and the dermal piercing was quick and painless

Piercer does not know what hes doing doesnt know how to properly check anatomy and will just pierce you for the money, doesnt care if it will last or not. Had to take my industrial out and my simple earlobes took almost 2 years to heal and I had to take one out. Very unprofessional and bad quality jewelry

Went as a walk-in for ear piercings for my son on a Friday evening and they were very busy. Regardless of all the hustle & bustle the girl at the counter carried out good customer service. The wait wasnt too long (30 min) considering how busy they were, and the piercings were excellent, my son didnt even feel the slightest pinch. Thank you Johnny! 👌I highly recommend this place.*It is cash only and tips are greatly encouraged*

Johnny the piercer is the absolute best! Hes done 6 of my piercings, 5 for my sister. Always a smooth and pleasant experience. Very professional and knowledgeable

Went For Septum piercing! Awesome Experience Johnny was very Fast! Knows what hes doing! Found My Go to spot For Piercings! 👍🏻🖤 Better If You Make an Appt so you wont wait long! 👍🏻🖤 Message Him On His IG @johnnydapiercer

Ocks hooked me up with this script over my left eye in about 30 minutes for me, he made sure I was comfortable the whole time and it was just an all around enjoyable procedure 10 outta 10 recommend.

The service at this place was fast, professional, clean, and pricing was reasonable. I got my nose pierced and my 2 year old got her ears pierced for the first time. The experience for her was quite pleasant, Johnny was sure to help her feel comfortable and made the experience for her prompt and engaging. She was happy and so was I. Love my piercing.

First of all there piercings are expensive and there not even real like the last time I went with my brother he charged him 40 and that’s a good price but when I heard 60 I was like what there aren’t even real to begin with I would of understand if there were real but there not and also the the person who did my earrings didn’t even warn me about when he was gonna start like a heads up would be nice before getting to work

Shop is clean staff is friendly, Johnny the piercer is quick and very knowledgeable on his craft. Had my nose done with him and it healed perfectly. Brought my friend in today so she could get hers as well and she loves it! Thanks guys!

Johnny the Piercer is amazing at what he does! He fixed my piercings, did it quick, painless, and gave great after care instructions. I definitely recommend for someone who wants a cheap, quick, and professional experience. Johnny is the best!

Gave me an industrial knowing that i didn’t have the right ear shape for it did not tell me and i had to find out on my own for reference it should look like ——— but instead looked \ i would give a 0 star review if i could and the tattoos dont look great either i highly DO NOT RECOMMEND

The piercer here is most def the best I have ever been to. Very professional, quick and painless. Good spot for tattoos as well and the shop is very clean. Angel is awesome and makes the vision come to life. Highly recommend this shop for any body modifications. Cheers!

Johnny pierced my nose today and although I was very nervous his calm personality made the experience so easy. We picked where the piercing would go and before I knew it the whole process was done in the blink of an eye. He then kindly explained the instructions on how to clean my piercing. I would definitely recommend him and their business.

Johnny was very clean, quick and professional. He made sure we were comfortable and did not rush us into getting pierced. Very kind. Much appreciated. He is legit abd id refer him to anyone that wants to get pierced

I really enjoyed my experience here. I was skeptical on where to go to get my piercings done but I’m glad I came here. The service was quick, professional, and the person who attended me was prepared, friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

The place was cool to check out. I got my moms name and the whole process was a breeze. Only downside was that their pricing was a bit steep, but I do understand that business has to be made.

I had 4 piercings done today, it was my first time at this place, and honestly the guys from the shop are profesional and they provided me with an awesome service! The guy who did my piercings has a soft hand. I’m definitely will be coming back for more piercings👍🏼

Pierced my sons ear for the 1st time. They answered my questions prior to going in. Decent prices, fast service, and explained thorough recommended aftercare. Big waiting area, clean, atmosphere was cool and mellow.

Got my tragus pierced the guy sayed there was no needlee size for my gold earringi brought from home so couple of min later came and sayed oh you know the guy can do it he did used my earring did not seem to heal at all it swelled up terribly! my skin litterlly inbedded in the screw ball it was horrible had to complely pull the piercing with the screw ball almost riping my skin off !

The guy who did my tattoo wasnt very communicative nor friendly, but since he was the only tattoo artist available, I agreed to see him. My tattoo design was very simple, yet he still managed to make a mistake. Honestly, I regret going there. I gave them 2 stars because my sisters got piercings and were happy with their results, unfortunately I was very displeased.

Went once for a flat piercing came out great healed perfectly. Now I have gone back Atleast 3-4 times! Johnny the piercer gave me instructions for after care and is very fast and not painful at all! Thanks!

Got my nose pierced here by Johnny and I love the way they came out! Hes super nice and made it a very chill and comfortable experience for me. Both piercings came out great and perfectly even. 10/10

Very nice place...daughter came to get her ears pierced for first time and J.D. was super helpful! He helped set her mind at ease and very professional. If getting ears pierced please come to this place as they know what they are doing, not like some jewlery store places that the employees blotch the job and you have to do it 3 more times. Anyway, you will pay a little more, but if it works the first time, hey why not..it is worth the price. Im happy, my daughter is happy, will come back to get my other daughters ear pierced when she turns 16.

I got my double nose piercings here with Johnny after someone referred me to him, checked out his work on IG and made an appointment. He was very professional, clean, super cool and answered all my questions. He made sure I liked the position BEFORE he pierced it. He was really quick with piercing but took his time explaing after-care. I love that he said it was cool if I DM him with questions or if I forgot how to take care of it because I may forget or sometimes have last minute questions lol.. The other staff was also really cool too, good vibe. I definitely recommend getting your piercings here :)

Got our piercings done by Johnny today! Super awesome piercer, very fast, you barely even feel it. Overall very nice place & very fast/good service! 10/10 Recommend :)

Hi hello I have varieties of tattoos n am here to bang his game name so/cal flaco my name is pebbles aka Mabel n I seen him once to add finish a sleeve tattoo. I I scheduled a tattoo session and paid $60 to start a tattoo and he never called for for the session to remind me it was that date cancellation keep the money. Lol n I hope in to To have a reminder in because a good tattoo artist will schedule a $700 tattoo art and remind me to come in sorry but he is not a good artist to keep’

First time I came to Kokopelli ink tattoo & piercings was about a year ago for their Friday the 13th sale. I got a nose piercing with Johnny while my brother got a couple flash tats, which we loved. My nose piercing healed beautifully and got so many compliments on it. After researching other piercing places, none of them compared to kokopelli. They’re clean, professional, fast, and use only the best quality jewelry to pierce at no extra cost. I’ve put all my trust on Johnny for all my recent piercings and could honestly say that was the best decision I ever made! If you want your piercing done right at a reasonable price, walk in there and ask for Johnny, and yes, walk ins are welcomed for all the impulsive piercings you want.

Johnnydapiercer is the by far the best piercer in LA. Can’t go wrong going with him. He takes is time with your piercings and everything is super clean and sanitized. Good quality piercings and good prices as well. Go follow him on Instagram! Super Professional! You won’t go to any other piercer after you go with him!

I got a belly piercing here and it was a quick and great experience. JD was very respectful and nice. He also went through all the steps to cleaning and taking care of the piercing. I definitely recommend this place.

Went into the shop with my bf to get the Daith piercing, I’ve been suffering from migraines For about 2 years now. JD explain the whole process/aftercare. Overall really great experience and happy with my new piercing.Will go back soon ! 👍🏻👍🏻

Brought my 3 month old here to pierce her ears. Super sad moment but now she looks a 1000x more adorable. Its a cool place, chill vibe. Payed $40 W/ earrings included. Done with needle, NO GUNS. VERY sterile & clean which I appreciated a lot.I dont trust a lot of tattoo/piercing parlors but this one.... this one I like. Thanks Kokopelli!

Guys were really cool... Place super clean... Guy that does piercings is amazing !!!

Very pleasant experience and I was a walk -in! My tattoo artist was Nick. He was very friendly, outgoing, and most of all patient! Thank you and I look forward to getting more tattoos and to finish the rest of fingers with you.

This is the only shop that I trust. Have no complains especially with Johnny the piercer! Amazing work and always makes you feel comfortable! 100% recommend

Ok so this review is solely for Danny. His work is incredible! I saw his work thru the shops Instagram and absolutely fell in love. He meets up with you before your appointment and explains the process clearly answering all concerns.He made my first tattoo experience amazing. During the whole 10hour session I was comfortable and he always made sure I felt alright before proceeding. Love,love love! I really recommend him to anyone.

Angel was quick & effective! It was my first time there, but it definitely wont be my last.

Johnny has pierced my nose , septum and my snake eyes tongue piercing. All have healed properly and I’m so happy with the results . He is helpful when it comes to telling you how to take care of it . Don’t be afraid to ask . Definitely will come again for more !

Got my belly piercing here. It was 50 dollars and its not crooked so Im happy. The gentleman who did it was really nice and had to manually do it because the tool used to grab the skin wouldnt hold lol

I loved the result, my piercings didnt even hurt the way I imagined it and I will obviously return to this place. Its wonderful and Im happy with everything!

Awesome artists. Nicks work is always top notch.

Had an appointment to get tattooed by Alexis on Thursday. Thursday came. Texted her i was 5 mins away. She completely forgot. Changed it to Saturday. Saturday came. Cancelled again. Didn’t give me a sketch until Monday. Sketch was nowhere close to what i originally sent her. Have heard nothing but good things about Johnny & kinda shame that this was first impression made. Really hoping it was just bad luck & bad timing for me & nothing personal.

Came in to get my forward helix done and was greeted by the very nice staff! Johnny was my piercer and was very nice and professional. Piercing was done fast and turned out amazing!!

I got my nose pierced, Johnny was the one that pierced my nose did a great job and he even gave us some of his stickers! Totally recommend will be coming back soon for sound 2 🙌🏻

I have suffered from migraines for the past 4 years they’ve gotten to the point we’re it’s 3-4 times a week to the point where I have to miss school, I’ve had 3 visits to the ER due to how BAD they’ve gotten, they affect my body functions, vision, and the ability to keep down food. I’ve done all the tests and nothing. Tried several medications that didn’t help. I was tired of taking medication one day I was doing some research to find out what other ways I could help prevent or control them I came across a piercing called the Tragus. It took a while to convince my mom but she finally gave in. I went to @kokopelliink shop and my piercers name is JD (@piercings_by_jd) I got my left side done 2 weeks ago and the pressure and pain in my head instantly reduced as soon as the needle went through. Today I got my right side done and again more pressure has relieved. I haven’t had an unbearable migraine since my first piercing. Also the piercing pain did not compare to the pain of my migraines. JD was very clean and informative he knew what he was doing. I am completely satisfied with the outcome.

I texted J.D to ask him about the pricing for nipple piercings & he nicely & quickly answered my Dm & let me know & without thinking I was in the chair & it was a great experience I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get their nipple pierced plus they look bomb. Get your piercings & tattoos with them. Shoutout to J.D, Robyn & NickNasty theyre Great👌🏼

Very professional and welcoming atmosphere! I got my nose piercings and location was perfect. I would love to go back to get another when I’m in South Gate!

It was my first time getting a tattoo, didn’t know much about the aftercare! the tattoo artist forgot to wrap my tattoo. I didnt know you had to wrap every tattoo.

Johnny da Piercer provided the most quick, professional, & painless snake eye piercing! Will definitely come back!

Johnny and Luis have excellent customer service♡ brought my daughter for a septum piercing and Johnny was so quick with the process it was painless ♡ . Thank you guys 😊

The place was clean, can’t really say much about the place but the artist was great and respectful.. loved the work he did on me. He was very professional, gave me his point of view on things. Eric Martinez was the artist name.

Went in to get my niece and my septum pierced it was $40ea. Great service forgot to asked for the name of the guy that helped us out but he was nice and with a great attitude will definitely recommend this place and come for future piercings...

Horrible customer service. Tito did work on my arm. When asked to fix parts where ink was missing he gave me the run around. Asked me to come in on days when he wasn’t at the shop. Not once but twice. Just an aweful experience all around. I’d recommend Long Beach Port City. Way better customer service and better skilled artists.

I just love the ambience. The wait was somewhat long, but theyre nice friendly people. Johnny the piercer really listens and addresses any concerns.

Worst shop ever my girl got a tattoo her i paid over 500 for it and it got scaring everywhere guy didnt even finish the tattoo and said he was done so much for sitting in there waiting for 6 hours for 3 sessions and he count even get some concept art right. He scared my girl so bad when he was shadding her the tattoo gun would go silent because of how hard and deep the guy pressed on her arm. Never come here youll do yourself a favor.

Tooth Kandy.SUSIE is awesome!I love her!She explained everything.Suggested the right size for my the crystal on my teeth.From choosing the color, size, and location was perfect!Get souvenir for me!

He was such an awesome piercer. Between my industrial piercing and my nose ring piercer, I think that this piercer was way more professional. Now I know where to come if I ever want to get any more, this is where! ❤️

Super fast. As a first timer I didnt know what to expect but the Johnny did a great job explaining the process. If I ever do it again this is the place ill do it at.

Thank you Nick I love my new tat! You were very patient and pleasant with me I appreciate that very much! i forgot to put money in the envelope on your wall but ill be back soon!- Laura

Definitely one of the best of the best! Best advice and great personalities! They work with you, and they lead you in the right way as far as the healing and cleansing process goes! I definitely recommend 👌🏼

Walked in with my friend to get nose piercings. It was a great price and the piercing came out really good! I will definitely be returning.

Omg loved it.! I went to have my belly pierced & Stephanie did it and she did it super good.! I totally recommend her (: going back again soon

I got my medusa piercing here . Very professional , very clean and fast! Plus cant beat the price 👌

The best spot in SoCal 👌 got my industrial and tounge piercings here and they turned out AMAZING!! very friendly staff!! I would give it, 6 stars if i could!! 👌

The guy that does the piercings is really good and fast. Affordable prices. They just need a front receptionist to provide information

Defenetly recommend this place great artist very friendly super Clean. A simple tattoo many can say but a bonding moment for my family & me 🤗🤗🤗 thank you so much Tito

Front of store states open 1030am? Google states 12pm.. fix that

Super friendly and very easy and fast piercing. 10/10 super clean and pretty thank youuu :D

You do great work an awesome place to visit

Really clean place. Came for a vertical labret and the price was good! Friendly staff, will definitely be coming back!

Ive been going to this place since I was 16 years old when i got my nose pierced & when I got my first tattoo when I was 18 years old & the rest of my tattoos I always recommend this place to my friends & they love their service. So I definitely recommend this place for piercings & tattoos.

Got a nose piercing changed to a nose ring and not only was it cheap material, but they very aggressively put it in, causing a lot of trauma to the site of the piercing, and also bent it wrong, leaving a strange bend in it and making it look unnatural and not form fitting to my nose

Love the vibe! Got my first tat here definitely recommend 👌🏻 Very good artists & piercers 👌🏻 I got a tat and 2 piercings from flaco & Johnny 👌🏻

Best place to get a piercing. I got my first piercing here and it was quick and painless. They are clean and are always on schedule.

Well let me start off by saying I got a cover up at this shop by “Tito” And the experience Was amazing super professional💯 I was speechless After I seen my tattoo cover up in total shock didn’t say much after I seen it but said that “I loved it” I holded back my tears of joy not gunu lie am the happiest person right now and will be going back to finish up my half sleeve / portraits !!(LETS GET IT)👅💲💲💲

I recently got my nostril pierced here and Johnny was very professional, informative and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place 🙂

Very nice & clean n the gentleman that pierced my hood & septum was quick n easy damn near painless.

Got my septum pierced here and the staff was very polite and professional :) I was worried the placement of my piercing ending up off but it turned out perfect!

Got my septum pierced her for $40. very clean and professional. was a very fast process

I came to get my tattoo and they were all just really friendly, helpful, and they did a really good job on my tattoo . I love it 😍

Great service, Very clean ,hooked me up , recommend this place to go for your piercings.

I went in to buy some body jewelry and got the most lack of professionalism, and total disregard for a customer. The prices were guessed by the employees and outrageously over priced. This needs to be addressed stat.

Great quality tattoos!!!! Not only that? The customer services is amazing 👏 thank you kokopelii ink tattoos & piercing.

Experienced artist,clean environment, friendly staff. Very professional and lots of art to check out on the walls along with assorted gifts you can purchase.

Johnny did my navel piercing and was still so helpful about the aftercare and any questions I had! Thank you!

Environment amazing! Everyones just so friendly good service good music! Love it here!

My girl and I had a Yin Yang tattoo and Tito, our tattoo artist, was very friendly and professional. We love the art work Tito did!

Grateful for the patience he had with piercing my babys ears. The only thing I didnt like is that we had to go through the back where they did covid testing

Wouldnt fix one aspect of tattoo that i was not certain how it should be done in the first place. Was pretty matter of fact about it too, like it was his body lol. Never going back there again! A good way to waste some hard saved money tho!

Guy was not personable at all, got a ear piercing but was giving belly piercing instructions instead then realized he gave wrong clean instructions and just laughed hope piercing heals correctly

Great service! Went in to get help removing a push in nose ring and switch to another.

Cool place good service friendly environment they make u feel at ease when getting any type of work done which is a plus being that u have to get undressed but u feel so relaxed u dont mind because they are so professional would recommend this shop to everyone

I love this place Susie is the best when it comes to getting Gems on your teeth and everyone else are great tattoo artist blessings to the shop and the people that work there thank you.

I went to buy a bar for the piercing of my tongue because it was very bad, swollen and with a very small earring, I did not get that piercing done in this place, but despite that they treated me very kindly and they changed the bar for me yourself, thank you very much and for the advice too 😇 my tongue thanks you, it can now breathe 😇 blessings!
