My experience with this studio has been nothing short of amazing, from my very first consultation to my most recent tattoo session. First impressions matter, and this shop definitely delivers. The studio is clean, welcoming, and inviting. You’re greeted with a smile the moment you walk through the door, and everyone makes you feel comfortable and right at home. It has all the character and atmosphere you’d expect from a tattoo and piercing shop without feeling overwhelming or intimidating. Kyle Derives is my artist, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He has such a calm, reassuring energy, and his artwork truly speaks for itself. This is my first large piece, so naturally, I was nervous about being able to sit through long sessions. Kyle immediately put me at ease. He has, hands down, the lightest touch of any artist who has ever tattooed me. Beyond that, he has taken my ideas and turned them into something far more beautiful than I could have imagined. He has a level of artistic vision and talent that not every tattoo artist possesses. I live in Oregon, and Kyle is absolutely worth the drive to Thousand Oaks, California. In fact, the entire studio is! I’ve now had three full-day sessions, and during all that time, I have yet to see a single bad tattoo walk out of this shop. That says a lot! The level of talent under one roof is incredible. I would genuinely trust any of the artists here to tattoo me. They are exceptionally talented, and it’s obvious they take pride in their work. I won’t be back until mid-January, but I’m already looking forward to continuing my sleeve with Kyle and having Maddie work her magic on a nightmare tattoo I got in Vegas. If you’re looking for a tattoo shop with incredible artists, a welcoming atmosphere, and people who genuinely care about the quality of their work, this is the place. With artists specializing in so many different styles, there’s truly someone for everyone. I can’t recommend this studio enough. The talent, professionalism, and overall experience are worth every mile I’ve traveled. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional work!

Wow. This place is amazing. Well put together, clean, modern and a staff of very talented professionals. I have never felt as welcome as I did walking in here. What a great shop with awesome people. 9/29/25 - My husband and I just got matching crown tattoos on our hands from the incredibly talented Amelie Leviant, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Amelie is truly a master of her craft and made the whole process, from consultation to final result, absolutely wonderful. She took our idea for the crown design and elevated it with her beautiful, fine-line artistry. The detail in each tattoo is stunning—clean, crisp, and exactly what we envisioned. Not only is the work itself perfect, but Amelie was also professional, friendly, and created such a comfortable and relaxed environment for us. Getting a tattoo on your hand can be a little intimidating, but she put us both completely at ease. Larkin did my current tattoo. My three cats as Russian nesting dolls.New pictures to come of the finished product.

Great place to get a tattoo. Cool vibe, nice people and very talented artists. I went in for a cover up and one of the artists Angelique, that’s one of her specialties. She was fantastic , a super talented artist and very interesting to talk with. I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend  MD Tattoo!

I’ve been going to Kyle for both of my sleeves, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. I just finished a two-day session, and I’m blown away by how much incredible work he accomplished while maintaining outstanding quality from start to finish. Kyle is always professional, easy to work with, and makes the entire experience comfortable. He has an incredibly light touch, which makes long sessions much more manageable, and his attention to detail is second to none. Every piece flows perfectly, and the realism and craftsmanship speak for themselves. If you’re looking for an artist who truly cares about his work and consistently delivers exceptional results, I can’t recommend Kyle enough. I’ll definitely be back for any future work.

Ani did my daughter‘s very first tattoo. My daughter showed Ani a photo of daffodils that she wanted for her brothers that were all born in March and Ani took the picture and made it 1000 times better. Her line work is fantastic. I would definitely recommend anybody to her. That is looking for fine line artwork.

MD Tattoo is amazing! The environment is very laid back and clean, and everyone there is so nice! I was tattooed by Ani and was completely blown away. Her precision and attention to detail is one of a kind, she gave me a unique tattoo that is even better than what I had in mind. She took the time to design it for me and made sure I was happy with it, and I couldn’t be happier (:

We have been coming to MD Tattoo for years. (We actually drive 5 1/2 hours to be tattooed). It is extremely clean and beautiful. My husband gets worked done by Mike Devries, his work and attention to detail is amazing. I recently was tattooed by Ani and absolutely love her work! Everyone is so nice and the new location is great!!! Highly recommend all the artists here.
