Came for a friend's guest spot but I've been here once before when this was her primary shop years ago. Love the vibe of the place and since I've only been tattooed by my friend I can't say much about the other artists but if their work is as good as my friend's, I highly recommend this place! read more

Antisemitic! They do not accommodate religion. I just drove an hour to get a tattoo for them to refuse to accommodate my religion based on some rule they made up when I got there. This rule was not posted anywhere, but when I showed up with the Star of David on, there was magically a rule that violated my religion Update: nowhere on any of their postings was there a rule like that UNTIL I SHOWED UP. read more

I recently read a review about this shop that I found to be false and slanderous. This woman posted a review giving this shop one star and accusing them of antisemitism. I have contacted this person directly to tell them that posting on truths about a person or business online is bad karma. I have had several tattoos done at the shop and I've been coming here for four years. I am Jewish and they know it. Never once did I have any slight inclination or issue with antisemitism. Actually, it's quite the opposite. They are welcoming of all. Shame on that woman for posting lies. Obviously, she was serving some sort of agenda that she had. I highly recommend the shop. They are kind, courteous, accommodating, and do great work. read more

They listen to what you want. Will go through design changes and sizes so you get exactly what you want. Once everyone's happy with the design and style they will go through may stencil placement alterations to make sure your happy before they start. They are professional, understanding, accommodating, and have a wide range of specialists so there's someone to help with different design requests. Bumper is so easy to work with and extremely talented. He listens, clarifies, then implements you're notes and he's strong in many styles. I've gotten lettering and a realistic tattoo from him and I can't want to go back again. The whole shop is accommodating and easy to work with. My husband is going in to work with another designer next week at Black Raven since his style is different then mine. All around a wonderful experience and very happy with the results. Their prices are also very reasonable for the work they do. They are in no way close to my house but they are worth the drive. read more

I had an all day appointment with Kayo and cant say enough about him and the parlor. The space was great and I watched the artists that weren't tattooing cleaning their stations and the common areas. Great ombiance! Kayo and I met before getting the tattoo to review the design. He showed me some ideas he had and then we talked about some things I wanted. When I showed up for my appointment, he took everything we discussed, showed me the design, and then we started. The appointment lasted most of the day, but it came out absolutely amazing. Can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely hooked on the vibe. After a year of debating and postponing, my husband and I came in with a super basic design wanting to get matching tats. Kayo was our artist and he was super gentle and mindful of our experience. Despite it being my first tattoo, I found that I trusted him through the process. You can tell that artists (and clients) at this spot are passionate about their craft and the shop. Everyone was super friendly. When we came in, the shop minimum was $150 but I felt like it was worth it for the experience. Will definitely be back, especially for their Friday the 13th specials. read more

Kayo is the mother effing man! Pre-Process: I originally reached out to an artist close to where I lived regarding a coverup tattoo. I started collaborating with them and when it came to the design they drew up, it was not what I was looking for, but rather what they wanted for me. We (respectfully) went back and forth and ultimately the artist deemed their work more important than my vision. I was a little annoyed that I wasted a few weeks and that they were pretty inflexible towards what I ultimately wanted on MY body. This was a blessing in disguise however, however... I looked at Yelp and stumbled upon Black Raven. They had amazing reviews and I found Kayo's work to align with my vision. I met with him, we talked and ultimately he designed something that fit my needs. As the client, he put me first from the very beginning to the end result. He was super laid back and flexible. Process: During the process today, he was super accommodating. My body has taken a toll over the years with all the weight lifting. That said, he was super patient with me taking a couple breaks for my back/ neck to stretch and use the restroom. Not once did I feel like I was inconveniencing him by stopping. Additionally, I LOVE the work that he did for me. It was exactly how I had imagined/ what he showed me in the pre-process and I think he's just a true professional all around. If I get any more work done, Kayo is my guy and I'd recommend this dude to anyone I know. read more

I am over the moon happy by the work Kat did for me (@kat.stop.that) i am the first to get this sibling tattoo with my siblings who are all over the US. Since I'm the oldest i was SpongeBob(of course) and my house is in color. I couldn't see 100% of SpongeBobs house since it's so far back on my leg but when my sister took the second photo and i was really able to see all the small details, keep in mind each house is only 2 inches big, but the detail she put into this is amazing. This is by far my favorite tattoo on my body. She was incredibly professional, the tattoo parlor was nice and clean, great vibe, and in a cool area. Kat, you're my new tattoo person. Thank you for this! read more

February 2021, went into Black Raven Tattoo after seeing great reviews on Yelp. I was able to schedule an appointment with KAYO who said he would be able to do a coverup in the form of a dragon. I sent him my inspiration and he assured me everything would be ready for our appointment. The day of my appointment, KAYO did not have my dragon drawn and I had to wait two hours for him to sketch it out. My dragon sadly came out like a copy and paste with no added detail or "artist touch". When I realized there were no arms and legs on my dragon, he said I could come back another day to add them. He added the arms in such an awkward place, it looks silly. I was thoroughly disappointed as this is the largest piece on my body and I paid good money for it. This is my feedback. Tattoos are such a sacred experience, I hope no one else has or had an experience similar to mine. Thanks for listening and happy new year! UPDATE: The owner has publicly responded to you all with nonsense instead of directly addressing me. I posted my experience. No lies told here. I'm not sure what she's talking about pertaining to an original draw up that I didn't like. I gave Kayo artistic freedom to do something amazing and he chose to do the bare minimum. My dragon was only a reference point. He knows I was anticipating him making my vision greater. Anyone getting a tattoo (not flash and predrawn) knows what this means. I received an email regarding feedback and here is my feedback. No need to flood your page with only positive experiences if negative ones were had as well. Your response truly shows a lack of empathy and sourness at my truth. Shame. read more

Do not let--under any circumstances--Nadia work on your tattoo or even get near you with a needle. She worked on my tattoo which ended up looking like a cartoon sticker from a 99 cent store. When I kindly and respectfully asked her to change some things on the damage she caused, she became hostile, defensive, and flat out said, "I'm not going to do any more work on your tattoo, just pay me and I'm done." She became extremely angry when I asked her to "fix" the incredibly ugly work she did, which looked nothing like the example I provided her with. So I just paid her and got rid of her. She appears to be a typical angry "I hate myself and my life" kinda person. I don't need that kind of attitude or bad energy from anyone. Now, this is when Gnar comes into the picture. When I discussed with Gnar the damage Nadia did to my arm and asked him for his thoughts on what he can do to fix it. We discussed several options, and throughout the entire time, not only was Gnar nice, he was very respectful and thoughtful. Man, this guy is a true professional and an incredible artist!!! Well, long story short, he fixed it, and made it look 1000 times better than what Nadia did. The management felt responsibility for Nadia's ugly tattoo work and poor attitude, so they didn't charge me for the work Gnar did. But I really appreciated Gnar's kindness and professionalism so I willingly tipped him. I hope he isn't going to get into trouble for this, but I will honestly say that I would go back to Black Ravens Tattoo only because of Gnar and the management. I am warning everyone, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT allow Nadia to work on your tattoo. You will forever regret it for the rest of your life. Gnar, thanks for all your help! Your artistic talent is top notch! read more

Yes this was resolved. However because of the absolutely horrible customer service and threats made I would have told my customer to disregard the remaining $75 as an apology for the rude service. So yes it was resolved on their end because they got their money however nothing to resolve how I was treated. Being a CEO myself this is not how I treat customers and I would compensate them for their trouble. Therefore I still would not recommend going here and understand why there was not one customer on this place and never is when I pass by.

Such an amazing experience at Black Raven Tattoo! I went in to chat about covering up an old (very old) tat that had the name of "someone I used to know" on it. I had a very basic idea about what I wanted. Ash at the front desk, who is incredibly sweet and helpful with a wonderful attitude and outlook on their life, took my idea and info and passed it on to Gnar, who came up with a drawing that blew my mind! I agreed right away on what was a very reasonable price and set the appointment for the next day. Side note, if you are serious about getting a tattoo at this supremely excellent studio, you don't need to balk at placing a deposit. I came in on the day of the appointment and saw Ash (Hi Ash!!) again and met Corey too, very cool guy. Gnar was all ready to roll and he did a most expert job. It was fast and efficient and he was very friendly and professional. The guy really knows what he is doing. I even accidentally bumped the light with my leg and caused it to smash into his forehead, and it didn't even faze him!! Sorry for that again, Gnar! All in all, I am incredibly happy that I discovered this magical place and had my tattoo done here. I will be back for more and will highly recommend Black Raven to anyone asking me where they should get some ink. Thanks again all! See you as soon as this thing heals! I need something done on my right upper arm!!! read more

Our other sister recommended Banter By Piercing Pagoda located in the Del Amo Fashion Center. She's taken her daughter here to get her ears done and had a great experience. She made the appointment for the both of us. I don't know if they take walk-ins. It is a counter that is located on the first floor behind the escalator where you can see Din Tai Fung on the second floor. The person working at the time was called Janna. She greeted us right away and showed us the selection of earrings strictly used for piercing. I decided to go with my birthstone. Janna had me sit in the chair located on the right side of their display of jewelry. She carefully marked where the earrings would go and then made sure that I was satisfied with the placement. Before I knew it, the procedure was done. The pain was tolerable and it didn't linger like I thought it would. After she finished working on my sister, Janna took the time to explain the after-care. We were given hypochlorous acid spray to use twice a day for 4 weeks. She showed us how to properly clean the area and emphasized the importance of doing this to prevent an infection. Overall, I would recommend this place. I am already looking forward to getting another piercing done. My sister and I had a great experience. Thank you, Janna, for doing an awesome job!

I would absolutely recommend her!

This is the second time that I've been to the tattoo and piercing shop; the first time I went with a friend and also came in for a repiercing due to a hospitalization. I'm hoping this will be the last time that I go to this shop for a repiercing, but I will definitely come back here if I have to. Joslyn was extremely professional and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time during the piercing process by double checking that it didn't hurt. I had to purchase one of their steel titanium jewelry ($15 was the cheapest one) and was not allowed to use my own jewelry that I bought from Laughing Buddha. Which is totally understandable and makes sense as to why they don't use other jewelry outside of their own. I think it also specifies in their rules or contract that you're not allowed to bring in outside jewelry, but I would call to make sure. I also did not like that they didn't have a more comfortable waiting/seating area. Those tiny chairs on wheels are not really plus-sized friendly and I would have appreciated a regular chair instead of those. The online booking experience for an appointment within 3 days was easy to use on their website. I believe there was a $5 security deposit that goes into your overall total at the end of your piercing/tattoo session. In fact, my piercer Joslyn even emailed me to ask questions about my piercing history and whatnot. I really appreciated her attentiveness to detail and for taking the initiative to understand her customer's needs. Overall, I had a pleasant experience with my piercer Joslyn and would highly recommend her for your piercing needs. Thanks again!!

It is super clean and very kid friendly. My daughter actually loved being there. The staff is great and Dr. Pham made us feel really welcome. The whole process took about 30 minutes. They use a numbing agent, so it wasn't very painful. My daughter said it just felt like a little pinch. Dr. Pham took the time to measure and make sure both sides were even, which not all places do. He also made sure I was completely happy before starting. We are both really happy with how it turned out. The service includes everything you need: the piercing itself, numbing, aftercare instructions, cleaning wipes, extra earring backings, and even a follow-up visit, which I think is incredibly helpful. You can also upgrade the earrings depending on what style you choose. If you are looking for peace of mind and quality care, I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Not my first rodeo and kind of my go to spot when I'm itching for a new tattoo or piercing. I've…read morebeen riding with this place for at least over a decade. Came again yesterday with my sister, my hubby, and my best friend to get a Friday the 13th tattoo. My hubby ended up changing his mind and not getting anything but stayed and endured the excruciating 9 hour wait just to get to our turn. Doors opened at 11am, we were there at 10:30am and didn't get tatted until about 8pm but I guess that's expected when you're wanting a $20-$40 tattoo. The business also had a food truck which was definitely a nice treat. We all decided to get tattooed by Juan, his IG handle is @tat2frel and he was just great to say the least. His work was impeccable and he worked with me on placement and lining until I was satisfied as I had it on the side of my wrist and the tattoo lining looks different as I twist my wrist. He was patient and didn't mind taking it off and on to make sure I was happy. And I was definitely happy with the end results. He has a really light touch and didn't feel his whole weight on me while tattooing and just an all around pleasant guy. He also remembered me from a few years ago when I brought the business a case of beer at the end of the night, thanking them for their hard work and willingness to still take us. They are definitely sweet people. I asked about touch ups and things of that sort, he told me he doesn't like to do them but sometimes he will. lol I'm definitely trying to get him to work on some of my stuff cos I really like what he is capable of. My sister and my best friend loved what they got as well. It was my best friends first tattoo and god bless Juan for dealing with my indecisive sister from hell. lol she can literally be a nightmare when it comes to stuff that she wants and he just took it all in with ease. If it's not because this is my go to place to come, it would definitely be because of Juan. Definitely will be coming back soon!

What better thing to do on Friday the 13th than get a tattoo for $13 ?!…read more Okay the wait was ridiculously long, but that's expected for a day like this. Luckily my brother in law was able to get a number and decided not to get a tattoo so he passed me his spot but they waited almost 10 hours before they got to our number (we were in the late 70s) My friend, sister, and I got our tattoos done by Juan. His handle is @tat2frel - he was awesome! Very patient! I'm super anal especially when it comes to things like this, I mean it's gonna be on my body forever ya know.. so I kept asking him to remove and redo and he honestly didn't care and just wanted me to really like what I was getting myself into. He also has a very light hand so it wasn't painful- my friend was completely at ease and this was her first tattoo! It was an overall great experience!

Cleanliness is a top priority and is taken very seriously (as it should be, but wow they are great). The whole shop is clean, so cute, and welcoming. So many details have been so well thought out. The aftercare instructions delivered on a custom made card, the beautiful selection of high quality jewelry, there aren't enough good things I can say about this place. Alejandra and Niche (maybe Eli too? Not sure, I had very specific needs and did a lot of calling) helped make sure I got the appointment properly scheduled and helped communicate an extreme needle phobia to the piercers Amber and (shop owner) Tidus who did a tandem piercing to get it over with quickly. I highly recommend this spot in general and for kids or adults with needle sensitivity/phobia. Huge thank you to my favorite piercing shop in LA/Santa Monica!!

The person assigned to assist me (I don't recall names/faces well) put the new segment/seemless/clicker ring in the lower lobe/1st instead of the upper/2nd lobe spot. I don't now how they missed the 2nd lobe because I had a light blue plastic place holder in the 2nd lobe so it wouldn't close up, we talked about it to confirm which one it was, and they saw me take the blue plastic out. Yes, I should have asked for a mirror once they finished to confirm they did it correctly but I trusted they knew what they were doing. I didn't notice, my friend pointed it out a bit after I left the shop, my friend moved it into the correct spot for me. Customer service was normal when I first went in but I didn't feel like driving back, finding parking, and blah blah blah over this. Think this was the breakdown, they didn't provide a receipt and I paid cash. Cost was $30 for the sterilized segment ring, $5 for the service, and I gave a $5 tip.
