We scheduled an appointment at Hermosa Ink Collective with Brandon. It was to get an ear piercing, and a nose piercing. It was very easy to set up the appointment, and when we showed up, also very simple to fill out the form and get checked in. Brandon was very clear during the discussion as we chose the hardware we…
Amazing job, second time here and all service was amazing. Came in for a tattoo with Ken and a piercing with Brandon. So happy I’ll be back again.

Came all the way from San Diego to get pierced by Brandon! He did such a great job and was super kind! will definitely be coming back for future piercings
Fantastic service! Knowledgeable and professional staff. I will be back in the future.
Wonderful experience. I got my helix done today, Brandon was very gentle and I honestly didn’t even feel him pierce me. I have an extremely low pain tolerance too. The process was fast, painless, and very well done. I am beyond happy with the results and cannot wait to get more in the future here. Highly recommend going to Brandon!
Brandon pierced my bridge piercing, and did a great job. He explained every single part of the process & the healing thoroughly, and was very kind about it. He encouraged me to be picky with the placement with my piercing, assuring he had no problem remarking it as many times as needed to get a perfect placement.…
I’m big on reviews, especially on Yelp, and made my decision based on ratings for locations in the South Bay Area. Although I’ve always felt intimidated going to a tattoo shop for piercings, I’m so glad I booked an appointment with HIC for my boyfriend and I. The reviews speak for themselves. We had a 6pm…
Came in with the intention of getting my naval repierced. Brandon told me I didn’t need it repierced after all and just needed to slide the jewelry right through. He was very professional and accommodated me on such short notice. Really stand up guy, definitely will be back for more. Shop was also very clean, I feel…
Decided in a spur of the moment to go get my thirds pierced and a jewelry change - given there aren’t many options where I’m at in Manhattan beach, hermosa ink is the best! The atmosphere was incredible and Brandon walked us through all the care steps and did an amazing job with both mine and my roommates piercings!! Would recommend to any and all!!
Loved Brandon. He is very professional and very thorough with explaining everything you need to know before and after your experience. I will definitely recommend him !
Very easy process and everyone was super nice. My eyebrow piercing came out amazing thank you.
