Pretty In Ink Tattoo

The entire staff here is so awesome. The facility is very clean and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Love this place 💕 everyone makes you feel like family.

I happen to be on a business trip to Bakersfield from Des Moines, IA and had a few hours to kill before a corporate evening outing that night. For the past few months I have been itching to get another tattoo since my last one was about 15 years ago. Being a kid who grew up in the late 80's, early 90's I was instantly drawn to the name "Pretty in Ink" and knew that was the place to be. I called up and scheduled a time with the owner Aaron Wherry to work on my tattoo. I was ecstatic to find out that he could create something on the fly and I didn't have to get a standard image from a book and/or catalog. I arrived at Pretty in Ink and was completely blown away by the shop's professionalism and Aaron's attune ability to create my vision of a tattoo with a brief description of what I wanted. Aaron Wherry truly had the artistic gift with not only drawing out the image but adding several creative touches throughout. Being a business man myself, I was very intrigued and impressed with what Aaron had to share about the tattooing industry since my last time getting ink. He is a very personable shop owner and his customers feel at home. In what seemed no time at all, he had completed my tattoo which was a perfect tribute to my precious little girl, and I know whenever I am in Bakersfield again and itching for another tattoo, I will not hesitate to call up Pretty in Ink and get some work done by Aaron Wherry.

Kandi is absolutely amazing. Super light touch, reasonably priced and comfortable to spend a few hours with. Can't recommend her enough.

Just got my first tattoo ever at Pretty in Ink and I'm ready to go back for more. Aaron was absolutely amazing and designed an amazing tattoo based off my basic thoughts. Everything there is so clean and taken care of. If you're thinking of getting a tattoo, this is the place to go and Aaron is the guy to see!!

I'll begin with noting, Aaron Wherry did beyond excellent work.

Being from Bakersfield, I've had several pieces of work done in different local shops. After moving up to Sacramento, I've also had several pieces or work done up through California. That being said, Aaron is with out a doubt one of the most if not the most skilled artist I've had work on me.

It was absolutely worth the drive from Sacramento. I look forward to future sessions. Bakersfield locals, consider yourselves lucky to have Aaron.

The shop also has a very clean and welcoming atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend Aaron and the shop to anyone without reservations.

Came across this place by accident and instantly knew I wanted to be tattooed here! Jeff did great work and worked with me to create the custom piece that I wanted! He was patient with me while I struggled through getting my sternum tatted and the piece came out great. The guys in the shop are so much fun and it was all around a great vibe. Will be coming back any time I'm in town.

I really love this place. We called in and everyone had appointments already. Which i was like darn it but could completely understand. Then shortly after i received a call saying they could see us! They changed the music to our liking (even though when i requested Usher he cringed a little lol) When i was cold they turned the air off. Like wow who does that?? The whole vibe with everyone who worked there is amazing. Did i mention that Nick did an awesome job on both mine and my boyfriend's tattoo! If i could rate them more stars i would. Im definitely going back for more tats! If you want great work done along with a great attitude i really recommend this place. Thanks Nick!

I've heard about this shop for a minute and I finally went in to get my ears pierced on the lobes done by Aaron. Gotta say I really like how nice they are and thankful for how clean and how professional the shop is. I will definitely be going back for some ink in the future as well.

Terrible business… and extremely rude employer, get tatted somewhere else

Madii is the only one I can trust now for all my metal needs. She has pierced me 6 times already and I wont go anywhere else! I've taken four friends to get their piercings with her and they've all been pleased with their experience. Cleanest shop in town and all the staff make sure you're taken care of. Just thinking about it makes me want another piercing :)
