If you're really trading a review on Google for a tattoo shop, maybe you should go check it out for yourself. I did 20 years ago and still love the place. But really, don't take my word for it, this is personal. I just want to post something cause I love the place

I am so lucky I got Ryan for my walk in appointment! He did a beautiful job with my tattoo and I can't wait to see it healed. Ryan is a really cool dude and was such a pleasure to meet.

Aaliyah is the body piercer at 454 and she is absolutely a gem! She is patient, kind and takes her time. The setting is nice and comfortable and I promise you if you want a good piercing go see Aaliyah!I also saw Henry for several tattoos and he did an amazing job and I’m so happy with them. Comfortable setting, nice conversation and clean! Very nice place. Definitely would recommend!!

I have had more than a few tattoos in various cities, and this was my best experience by far! Everyone was super friendly and professional. Gabe was my artist, and he made me feel v comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend!Service: Tattoo design

This was a tough review to rate because there were both pros and cons to my experience. Hoping this will help others make a choice that works best for them! I went in for a second piercing in my earlobes. Pros: The experience was fun and I felt well taken care of. After care was explained very well and my piercer was professional and great. My earrings are gorgeous! Where I feel there are some cons: the pricing is really high. I hadn’t expected that and was really shocked by my bill-we are talking $400+ for two earlobe piercings. I did go with custom gold posts and wanted to make sure I tipped well-so that was a choice I did make that hiked it up. Additional cost that I didn’t expect though was that you need to downsize 2-3 times and it’s about a $50 charge each time. So overall, if cost isn’t an issue, go for it! Another con for me was that I did have a hard time healing and think I actually am sensitive to titanium. The top piece I bought was gold but not the backings. I tried to get information from 454 so I could get the right size backings in gold and it felt very ‘salesy’ and like I needed to come in and had to buy from them. I was in pain and tapped out on my earring budget. I luckily was able to find a more affordable place in Oceanside and they changed out my backings to gold that I purchased on my own for $5. :) My ears have healed in a week! Hoping this review helps others and maybe 454 could just give a thorough overview of the cost before the piercing. Also provide information more transparently about what size/gauge piercings are so the customer doesn’t feel ‘trapped’ into coming back. I’m sure others would appreciate that too. :)

Cool local shop with some super nice artists. I went in on a whim for a little ink to satisfy my addiction. I wanted something huge but the smarter tattoo artist prevailed and I ended up getting something better than I had in my not so artistic brain. Walk-ins are welcome. Go check this place out!

Jordyn and Aaliyah were endlessly patient with my 9 year old daughter. She had been talking about getting her ears pierced for over a year and finally felt ready, but panicked at the last minute. Instead of rushing her or pressuring her they calmly allowed her to take a break outside, even though it meant having to start the process over twice. Their calm and friendly attitudes helped her work up the confidence to continue with the procedure - the piercings are perfect, with no pain or discharge after. Thank you for the extra time and effort, it is much appreciated!Service: Ear piercing

Had a great experience getting piercings downsized by Jordyn. The studio has a great selection of jewelry. Professional piercers that are APP members. Will come back for piercings in the future!

My daughter just got my nostril and I'd like to say that everything was perfect. The piercer was so nice and the session was fast, everything was clear and sterilize.

I love 454. I’ve gone to Hector and Ryan. Both do great work. My wife has gone to a few artists there as well. We were both super happy with the work, atmosphere and professionalism. 10/10 would recommend every time.

I get 95% of my tattoos from Ryan Breceda. Not only is he an amazing artist, he’s a super rad human being. 454 also has a wide variety of high quality jewelry. 11/10 would recommend 454 to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing.

Came here for some piercing and jewelry help. The team is extremely friendly and professional from the front desk staff to the piercers. Very approachable place for first time piercings and very knowledgeable for us hole-y people. Great tunes, clean and quaint. I've already made my next appointment!
