I couldn't be happier with my new tattoo! Kaye is amazing, super friendly, and made me feel completely welcome. The studio is impeccably clean and professional. Being a tourist visiting on a trip, this was the best souvenir I could ask for. My tattoo turned out incredible, and I will definitely be back to get another one in a year! Thank you so much!
Just visited Ken for a fine line tattoo, he did incredible work. I am so impressed by the line work, he has the most steady hand and it came out even better than I had hoped. He was patient helping me pick the perfect size position and spot. He is super professional, warm and creative. I will 100% be coming back to…

I’ve been here multiple times! Yustyna does an amazing job every single time. I can’t wait to go back.

Work done by artist Lloyd , very clean work , exactly what I wanted
Excellent experience with the parlor and with Sophie. She took her time with the design, and really wanted a successful tattoo for me. She succeeded :-)
Got a tattoo on my shoulder a few days ago and had a great experience with Miguel. He was very professional and did an exceptional job.
Had a wonderful experience getting a tattoo here with my mom for my 18th birthday! Kaye was awesome and the tattoo came out exactly as I imagined!
Great artist- nice shop - would go back
Shingken is absolutely brilliant! His focus and attention to detail was amazing. He was methodical, careful and patient. His line work, shading and ability to create 3-D is fantastic. Shingken is a true artist.
First time checking out this shop and it won't be the last! Absolutely great experience with Yustynatattoo. She was welcoming, thoughtful, precise and professional. The other tattoo and piercing artists seemed to all be really pleasant as well. The shop was clean and accommodating. It's definitely one of the best places to get a tattoo I've ever been to.
I have been getting tattoos for over 18 years throughout the US and parts of the world. The professionalism and creativity of Ken makes you know you are going to get great work done. The passion that Ken has for his craft assures you that you’re in great hands.
Loving my new Tattoo! Sophie is the best. Anyone in the Southbay area, check her out at Hermosa Collective Ink!
I got my first Tattoo today with Sofie! Such a great experience. Turned out even better than I could have imagined.
First tattoo experience and everyone made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Shingken took time to make sure I was happy with the design and then was meticulous in the fine line detail. Would recommend!
Been looking for a first tattoo for a while now. I'm recently retired from a button-down career. I was greeted nicely when I walked in. I explained what I was looking for, and an artist was chosen for me. I was immediately struck by the relaxed but professional tone of Kaye, the artist. We made an appointment a few…
I visited here with a group of friends for our Family spring break, and saw Sophie (Sof.) She was a delight to work with, was able to help me with the exact design I was looking for, and her execution was perfect. (Line work is impeccable!) I loved chatting with her about France and absolutely would go to her again…
Amazing experience with Yustyna. She made sure the tattoo location and size was exactly what I wanted. She’s very patient. Highly recommend! (:
Great studio! Got a tattoo here with Ken and got 2 ear piercings with Brandon. Very professional, clean and a great vibe.
Ken is the absolute best. I’ve been going to him for years for my fine line work. Hermosa Ink is a great spot with good vibes. Highly recommend Ken for anything you want done.
Great shop. Very professional and friendly. Got us in quickly, too.
Saw my guy Shingken not too long ago. Great studio w/ plenty of parking on nearby streets. Great vibes at Hermosa Ink, can't wait to get back!
Amazingly smooth process! Artist was attentive and gave an incredible experience!
Shingken was great! He has a gentle hand and was very patient and helpful in choosing style and placement of tattoo.
Always an amazing experience at Hermosa Ink Collective! Walked in with a few different ideas for a tattoo, and Sofpma was able to combine all of my ideas perfectly into one piece! Everyone is very friendly and helpful! I got my first tattoo here a few months ago, and returned because I love the shop so much. Will be back again!
Another tattoo with Sophie at Hermosa Ink Collective. As always it was a great experience! Sophie showed me different sizes of my tattoo and helped me decide placement on my arm. Between setup and final execution of the tattoo, my experience was very pleasant. Like catching up with a good friend. Thank you Sophie…
Gerard is the BEST!! Will be going back again soon!! Been back more than once, Trisha and Sophie will blow your mind too!! Went once again, they’re amazing! Get your butt up here! Think we’re up to four trips so far? Better get your spot before I take em all! Went yesterday again and today. Sophie and Trisha will rock your socks!
ken is a very good super tattoo artist. He is in the shop on weekends. His designs and skills are all-rounders. I love his skills and personality. Thank you!!!
Amazing spot! Great group of people and service. Sophie was my tattoo artist and she killed it — super chill and professional. I’ll be back!
Cihan came highly recommended from 3 different friends. I now see why. So extremely happy with the work. He is extremely detailed oriented and stayed until the job was done to his standard. And Brandon, Bruno, Ken and others were all extremely welcoming and made for an all around great experience.
Ken is as good as it gets. Incredible attention to detail. Highly recommended
I so ❤️ Hermosa Ink, especially Kaye! Such a great experience today. They were all so kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend Kaye for any tattoo. He rocks!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Truly couldn’t love this studio more! Everyone is so above and beyond friendly, the space is gorgeous, and huge shout out to Shingken who is incredibly talented!
Great atmosphere, amazing service and even better results. Came in as a walk in and got exactly what I was looking for. Kaye was an amazing artist and got my tattoo done in a short time but also put in so much detail. Definitely will be coming back!
I’ve had 3 tattoos done by Cihan. He never ceases to disappoint. A versatile artist. In my opinion he’s world class.
