Booked an appointment online after speaking with a specific artist about my design. When I arrived,…read moreI was told my appointment was actually with a different artist I had never talked with. After discussing with the shop, it seemed like a system error and they suggested I reach out via email in order to get my deposit applied to a new appointment. The shop has yet to respond to my 2 emails to rectify the issue. Disappointed with the lack of communication and customer service.

He is constantly sharing new flash sheets with classic designs and original drawings. Additionally all of the staff have always been nice to me.

The owner and all the artists were very nice, supportive, and informative. The shop was in clean tip top shape filled with great artwork and bright lighting. They focus on all styles of tattooing so don't be shy to ask. I've already gotten tattooed here on multiple occasions and have been happy with each and every session. I highly recommend this tattoo shop for anyone wanting clean tattoo work at an affordable price.

She's such a kind person, I really don't understand why they did this to her. I'll be reposting this to google. Not sure why they suddenly have no reviews. The artist who did this was named Rick.

I just happened to be visiting from Texas, so it seemed like a great way to celebrate the weekend! She mentioned that she had talked to Chris & that it was his idea. Not only did Chris come up with a clever & creative idea for us to mark the occasion, but he went all out. He drew up the exact chainsaw from the movie, matched the color & even added some blood on the blade. I love it! The shop is traditional cool, with great flash and amazing original framed artwork & taxidermy peppered about. It was clean, well lit, with a relaxed atmosphere. Chris was completely professional, precise and incredibly quick. He was fun to talk to & made me feel completely at ease. I would definitely go back to him again!

This is truly an unbelievably unfortunate experience. This was a Friday 13 tattoo and my friends…read moreand I went together. Their tattoos turned out great (different artists did theirs) and mine just is the worst tattoo I've ever seen. There's absolutely nothing I could like about it and I don't even know how it could get fixed. Idk if the guy was tired but he did seem pretty over it. He changed the colors from the design (without asking me) because he wanted to give me something more unique..it's definitely uniquely terrible.This really looks like it was done by someone who's never tattooed before. Every time I look at it, just makes me feel like sh*t. Please just choose not to tattoo someone if this is the quality of work you're going to produce.

After some great conversation, before I knew it, my tattoo was finished. Some saniderm to protect it, some aftercare instructions, and I was on my way. The shop is bright, spacious, clean, and super chill. I was checked on every step of the way to make sure I was comfortable and if I needed anything. All in all, an excellent tattoo experience. If you're in Echo Park or the surrounding area, come check this place out!
