Customers frequently praise the studio's clean environment, friendly staff, and thorough explanations regarding aftercare and healing processes. Positive reviews highlight punctual appointments, transparent pricing, and skilled execution of both tattoos and piercings. However, lower-rated feedback cites issues with specific artist quality, such as uneven line work, and mentions instances of poor communication, including unconfirmed appointments or unclear design consent.

Super helpful for my first tattoo. Helped me understand sizing and placement. Absolutely loved the design and am super happy with my overall experience!

He took the time to ask about my piercing history, discuss all my options, understand exactly what I wanted, and then got it done perfectly. Adam is an experienced professional, and I'm stoked I now have someone I trust and respect for future work. I got info and options for some upcoming ink on the way out. Chill experience and a killer studio.

My son had his eyebrow pierced at Solana by Biz. She was amazing, thorough, clean, and professional. Biz took time to analyze anatomy, and help guide with placement that would look best. She was very transparent with pricing, and explained the healing process thoroughly. Biz takes a genuine interest in her clients and I knew quality and safety were her top priority. 10/10 recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Bella. Prior to our visit I didn’t have a design in mind but gave her some words/concepts that I was looking for. Her design was better than I could have imagined. She happily made a couple adjustments based on my feedback and the piece came out great. She was fun to spend time with and she’s both very talented and passionate about her art. I will definitely get more work from her in the future! Also the shop vibes were so happy and everyone I interacted with was great.

We had such an amazing experience at Solana Tattoo! Bella was absolutely incredible and made our entire experience perfect from start to finish. She was so sweet, welcoming, and attentive to every little detail. Our fine-line tattoos turned out absolutely beautiful, delicate, clean, and exactly what we envisioned! You can truly tell how talented and passionate she is about her work. We couldn’t be happier with our tattoos or the overall experience. Highly recommend Bella to anyone looking for beautiful fine line work! We will definitely be back!
