I had such a great experience at this tattoo shop! Yustyna was absolutely amazing. She was so kind, patient, and made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process.

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…
Kaye was awesome. The tattoo parlor was so comfortable, extremely clean, the staff was so nice and great to chat with while we waited and even after we were done. Veryyyyyy inviting. Pricing was great. Kaye was so professional. I have 8 tattoos already and Kaye was so light handed it was so refreshing. It was such a…
I’ve been here multiple times! Yustyna does an amazing job every single time. I can’t wait to go back.
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.

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.
The studio is super friendly and welcoming - everyone there has a chill vibe. Ken is an exceptional artist. The care he took guiding me through the process was so helpful. His work speaks for itself - he is a virtuoso.
Cihan was great. I had never had a better tattooing experience in my life. Everything was so clean and affordable too but the detail on the piece alone was incredible. I had gone to other tattoo shops and they could come up with exactly what I wanted but he was very helpful and helped with custom tattoos too. I will only ever coming here again
Hermosa Ink is amazing! I love coming here to see Trisha, you can tell she puts a lot of love and passion into her work. Her fruits and flowers are true art. She always checks in to make sure I am good throughout the process and is easy to talk to, not to mention quick but thorough. This is my second time coming to…
Everyone is so helpful and friendly! A really hands-on experience and I’ve gotten THREE tattoos here now :) Bruno, Sof, and Ken are all very friendly and ensure you’re getting the tattoo you really want, especially in terms of placement. Always asking questions and making sure everything is up to your standards. I’ll absolutely be back!
Got a great flash piece with Shingken on Friday the 13th!
This was honestly the best piercing experience I’ve ever had! So clear on their aftercare instructions, informed me on the entire piercing process as well! Very flexible and very talented tattoo artists! Made sure everything was just right before they perfected it with ink! Definitely recommending this for everyone…
Sofie is as profesional as a professional tattoo artist can be. She has extreme patience, an eye for detail and a steady hand. 10/10 do recommend getting tatted by her!
Ken was VERY friendly, patient and professional. Would definitely comeback and or recommend his work to anyone. Thanks again Ken!
I had a great time with Hermosa ink collective the manager (unfortunately I forgot her name) was very welcoming and worked with me to get a appointment day of with Bruno who did an amazing job and was very fast prices were what I expected and will definitely be going back for more work with Bruno and maybe some other artists as well for color tattoos
Cihan was awesome to work with. The shop was clean and professional. Most importantly he took the time to make sure I liked the design, making edits, and felt comfortable. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
amazing community and flexible work schedule. Completed in a timely manner, and wonderful hospitality
I had gotten my tattoo with Sophie. She was so wonderful. She did my first tattoo and I am so grateful she did. She was so smooth and well detailed oriented! I will definitely be back with another tattoo I have in mind. Thank you so much Sophie for giving me my first tattoo 🤍🤍
I traveled out from the east coast for the weekend and wanted a tattoo to commemorate my first time in CA. Sophie did exactly that for me, involving me in the entire creation process and even FaceTiming from different time zones for a consultation to make sure it was perfect. She does outstanding fine line work and…
Bruno is so awesome. He definitely understood what I was trying to explain!!!! I love it and I can’t wait for my next session.
Such a great experience! Friendly folks and a chill vibe. Sophie is amazing and will take great care of you.
Bruno did amazing work on my tattoo and Brandon did an awesome job with my daughter nose piercing. All around everyone was very professional and it was a great experience!
Meaningful moment with my best friend commemorating an experience and her daughter, and my first tattoo, felt totally comfortable with Bruno and love my tattoo. It’s healing now..🤍
i love this tattoo shop. everyone here is very welcoming and accommodating. i got a tattoo done by sophie and she was so kind and her work was excellent . if you decide to come here i highly recommend booking with her .
I'm using my friends account to post this;) I just went with my sister and had the absolute pleasure of getting tattoos from Sofpma at Hermosa Ink Collective, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Sofpma's patience throughout the entire process was remarkable. She took the time to work with me on developing my…
