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…
"I discovered this gem by simply searching 'best tattoo place near me' on Google, and for once, the algorithm delivered! The studio has an immaculate, tranquil environment that immediately puts you at ease. Every staff member I encountered was attentive and professional, but Bruno deserves special recognition—his…
Awesome shop! Got matching tattoos with 4 friends, Trisha and Bruno were more than accommodating and happy to help. Trisha did my tattoo and she was very nice and easy to work with through the whole process and she did an amazing job!
Sofpma was amazing! Very patient and accommodating. She made sure to take the time to make my tattoo looking perfect! Totally recommend her.
Sophie Hart is the BEST! Besides being very talented, she is caring, kind, and very patient as this was my first tattoo. She covered a hideous scar and it’s completely and cleverly camouflaged. The shop is pristine and Sophie practiced superior hygiene/sterilization throughout. The rest of the artists and staff were…
The staff were very friendly, helpful, and gave an amazing experience for my first tattoo. Cihad was just as skilled as he was patient with me in working together to make this art happen. I was never led in one particular direction or another, yet still given constructive conversation when making the decisions on my…
Bruno did a great job with my tattoo. He had a soft hand and worked fast/efficiently. I am very happy with how it turned out. I will definitely be returning for more!
Trisha is so friendly and attentive. She drew something up for me on a whim and executed perfectly. I wish I lived closer so I could have her do more.
There is a reason this place has 5 stars...it is awesome. The shop is clean and warm. Brunno did my tattoo and I could not be more happy with it! He is a great artist/ tattooer. I can't recommend him or the shop enough!!!!
Super friendly, helpful, and professional shop. Laid back and approachable but clearly take their work seriously. Very clean and welcoming environment.
Absolutely love and appreciate the work done by Sophie. I wanted a very personal tattoo customised, Sophie patiently helped me throughout the process and has done such an amazing job. Also appreciate Kris (sorry if I am getting the spelling wrong) and your support through the process. I love how my entire…
Had a great first time experience at Hermosa Ink Collective. Bruno was very nice and professional
I absolutely LOVE this tattoo shop! Bruno is the man! He has done the last 3 tattoos of mine. He has precise work. He can do any style- I got the traditional one first and the fine lined butterfly last and they all came out incredible. The price is right too. I recommend anyone whether it’s your first tattoo or an…
My 4th tattoo with Bruno. Never disappoints! Takes his time with design, and great amazing fine line work. Strongly recommend!
I had a beautiful fine line tattoo done of our soul cat who we lost in July. Sophie spent time designing the perfect image. I appreciated her patience as I kept making adjustments. I was very nervous about the pain, but she was patient and supportive with me throughout the process. The tattoo was so easy- far less…
Bruno and Brandon were awesome! 100% will be back again.
This is my third tattoo by bruno and he always does an amazing job! The process was so fast & gentle!
Trisha Miller does such a good job on my tattoos! This is my most recent tattoo by her but I have 3 now! She’s so detailed and sweet! We always have the best conversations! I always keep my eye out on her IG: @trishamillertattoos to see when she has some awesome promotions 😍 can’t wait for my next one
Trisha was fantastic!
got tattooed by sofpma, incredibly clean environment, super sweet artists and assistants, and i brought my own design which she replicated on my body exactly how i wanted it. pretty expensive, but definitely worth it for the quality
Bruno is super easy to work with and his line work is incredible! Great attention to detail
Outstanding. I’m so glad I found this place. I came in for a covering of an old tattoo that was very large that I’ve had since 1992 and not only did he cover it, but they transformed it into something that I really liked. That’s what you call a true Artist. Cihan Did an awesome job and I will be back for more work…
Clean shop, clean work, friendly staff.
I loved this place! My tattoo came out exactly how I wanted it Cihan does incredible work. Hes an amazing tattoo artist and you can tell puts a lot of effort into his work. He was super friendly. Ended up being one of my favorite tattoos that I have. I definitely recommend going here all the staff was so welcoming…

Cihan was amazing and so patient with me when I couldn’t decide on placement for one of my pieces. I love them both and will absolutely be back for more!
Great experience with Trisha on Friday the 13th! Came in for a flash tattoo and was able to book an appt, which was awesome. Beautiful design and is healing great!
Cihan was awesome. Very professional, personable, and warm. It was a great experience being tattooed by him.
I went to Hermosa Ink Collective with a basic idea of what I wanted. Cihan Pohrenk designed the perfect family tattoo. I love it and will return for another in the future. He was great and the studio was clean. Cool place.
I walked in and had a wonderful experience with Bruno. He helped me pick out some small flash and made sure I was happy with the placement and size. He made sure I was informed of aftercare and I was super happy with the whole experience.
Cihan is an exceptional artist whose talent is matched by his genuine care for his clients. Not only does he bring a high level of skill and creativity to his work, but he also takes the time to understand and refine your vision, ensuring that it exceeds your expectations. His commitment to his craft and his…
Cihan absolutely nailed this piece. I gave him my idea and told him to run with it, letting his artistic input flow, and he made it even better than I imagined. I'll definitely be back for more. The shop is awesome too—very chill and mellow. Great artist, great shop!
Had Trisha for my first tattoo ever! She is so friendly and very professional (same as all the staff there) Tattoo came out perfect and exactly how I wanted it! Would highly recommend!

Trisha created my first tattoo today! We bantered on IG to create from ideas and then carefully applied her craft. Just perfect to get started and will be back for more 💜
Trisha was amazing. everyone was nice and welcoming. definitely recommend. really good place to get your first or second tattoo
Was able to get a walk-in with Cihan and he was incredible. I got a pretty small and detailed wrist tattoo that turned out perfect. He took so much time to resize things at my request and make sure it fit exactly where I wanted it. He was phenomenal and will definitely see him again.
Bruno did great work. Walked me through everything before getting started and it came out great. Accommodated me as a walk in as well.
I’ve had incredible experiences with Bruno. From the moment I walked into the studio, I felt welcomed and at ease. The studio is impeccably clean and has a laid-back vibe that instantly puts you in the right mood. Bruno took the time to listen to my ideas, offered valuable input, and created designs that perfectly…
Mother-Daughter tattoo
Bruno did a fantastic job with my first tattoo! The studio is cute and clean and the entire staff is super friendly and welcoming. The tattoo is delicate and simple and everything I had hoped for. Highly recommend and I’m sure I’ll be back!
I had the best experience at Hermosa Ink! Excellent service, everyone was friendly and helpful and Cihan was superb.
Amazing experience! We were able to make an easy appointment and staff was very accommodating and wonderful. Thank you <3
CIHAN POHRENK WAS VERY CREATIVE IN HELPING ME PUT TOGETHER I IMAGINE I HAD IN MY HEAD. I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER, HE PUT IN SOO MUCH EFFORT AND EXTRA TIME TO MAKE SURE ALL THE LITTLE DETAILS WERE PERFECT AND REALLY MADE MY TATTOO COME TO LIFE. HE HAS A NICE LIGHT HAND AND GREAT SHADING THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Cihan was so nice and had opinions on tattoos but of course suggested you make your own final decision! Some input def helps though. I brought my little sister for her first tattoo and he was great with her. Things were clean and sanitized and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Bruno was awesome and so easy to work with. He listed to what I wanted and made it come to life. He knew I wanted feminine and minimal and he did that perfectly. He gave me high quality work without keeping me there for long period of time. I will definitely be back for him to do more work
Bruno really came through for my friends and I! He came in early to fit all four of us in. It was a special trip for us and we capped it off with tattoos. He was patient, super attentive to detail, and made sure that we were happy with every step. Very chill environment where we all felt comfortable. Thanks so much!
Wonderful customer service from Krys. Bruno was amazing. My first tattoo. All easy breezy. Great experience. Thank you.
From consultation to design , what a great experience. What really stands out is her work , such intricate detail which was most important to me and she exceeded that!
tattoo was great! Cihan is a great artist!
Very clean and welcoming environment. They make you feel like they know you for a while. Bruno was easy going, careful, and fast.
Bruno is the man gave me exactly what I wanted.
Beautiful experience with Cihan. I love his work and he gives off the best vibes. A true gem. This is what he has done on me so far and more to come. Highly recommend him.
I highly recommend Bruno at Hemosa Ink!! He quickly & skillfully made a sketch of the font I wanted, added the little touches I wanted, and was able to do the whole tattoo and get me out in literally 30 minutes!!!! How crazy is that?! I love the tattoo - it was exactly what I wanted. When I would like another…
Trisha did an amazing job ! Such a great shop with talented people.
Sof is very good and knowledgeable! I’m having fun every time I come!
Loved the establishment. Bruno did an amazing job and I’m so happy with my cover up!
The detail and shading from Bruno is great! This was a touch up on one from almost a year ago.
This is my second tattoo at Hermosa Ink. Bruno did my first tattoo and my second. He is amazing!!! He takes his time to make sure he understands the design you want and also gives good suggestions to make sure it’s right for you. I love how everything is sterilized and the shop is very clean. I highly recommend Bruno and Hermosa Ink.
Everyone very friendly . Bruno a great artist. Shop is clean and welcoming. Will go back
I was in town for work/vacation and they were able to squeeze me into their tight schedule. Very professional and genuinely nice people. Once I’m back in town again I will getting another tattoo here. My artist: Cihan Pohrenk
Bruno was amazing! I called and they booked me for the same day! Loved that Bruno took his time and made sure I was doing great. The setting is amazing and very calm. Would come again!
Cihan was great! We showed up right around when they opened. Had walk in time for my wife and I shortly after, converted our ideas well and gave us great tattoos. Definitely recommend. Will be back next time we vacay in Cali.
Cihan was awesome! Great work!!
Great experience was my third tattoo with Sophie and I know I will be back again! Very efficient and clean highly recommend!
Had the best experience with Cihan. I had a great therapy session and a master artist. He is such a good person. His energy is very comforting. This tattoo is the best one. I have several. But this one is my favorite. I knew he would do it justice. Plus it didn't hurt. I will be back. I have a few more to dream up. Thank you.
A beautiful shop, Bruno was able to get me and my friends as walk ins. The receptionist was very kind and Bruno’s line work is incredible. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in the area
Cihan was extremely nice and patient throughout the design and placement of our tattoos.
Trisha M. was so helpful as my boyfriend and I were getting matching tattoos. Our design was simply but Trisha took the time to help us perfect it all the same. So happy with our final tattoos.
Trisha did such an amazing job, especially given the design and location weren’t the easiest, but she absolutely crushed it.
I had an amazing experience at Hermosa Ink Collective. The artist, Cihan, was not only incredibly talented but also attentive to my ideas and preferences. Cindy, at the the desk was also very helpful and very nice, she was very collaborative and accommodating. The shop had a great atmosphere, and I felt comfortable…
Cihan did an amazing job I love my tattoo!
Awesome experience! Bruno was amazing very professional. He is a true artist. Will go back 100%
I came there as a walk in and right before we wanted to start, I had to leave bc of an appointment. Cihan was so nice, I could come back some hours later and I love my tattoo so much! The atmosphere is so relaxing and everyone is so nice! :)
Cihan is an incredible artist and person. He took my middle daughter's drawing and created the most detailed and intricate art on my arm. It was not only an amazing experience, but it was so great to get to know such a wonderful person as well. Everyone at Hermosa Ink was friendly, kind, and encouraging. My oldest…
Sophie did an absolutely amazing job with my tattoo today. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for tattoos, she did the details beautifully and really perfected the tattoo. She got the design spot on to what i asked for and i’m blown away with how good of a job she did. I really recommend you see sophie if you want a well done tattoo.
Bruno was awesome! Quick, clean, and professional. He was sure I was happy with the final design and placement before beginning and didn’t rush despite having a full day.
Cihan is a great artist, got us in same day and was extremely informative.
Sofpma was perfect! My tattoo was just as I hoped! She’s also a lovely person! I’d 💯 recommend her! The studio is super clean and everyone there is so friendly! It was a great experience.
My experience getting my first ever tattoo was awesome! Tricia Miller is the best - her artwork is lovely, fine line work is pretty, hand is gentle, she’s so kind, and helped me when I had a rough reaction to initial pain. The location is gorgeous! Love this place, definitely will be coming back!
