Look no further!! It can be so difficult to find an artist that is talented and you feel comfortable with. Jessica is the shop owner and has such artistic range. I feel so lucky that she has relocated to Gardena! She did a portrait style piece for me today and I am in awe of her work. I am really looking forward to utilizing her talent from here on. She is truly a local gem here in Gardena. Thank you, Jessica!! read more

I was on my way home last night, tired as hell when I passed by Black Sheep Tattoo. I stared at it as I sat at the stop sign, thinking about what I've been wanting to get done this past year and then kept driving to get home. Before I knew it, I had circled back and parked in front. I went inside and was immediately greeted by Jessica, the owner. She was super friendly and asked what I wanted to get done. I didn't realize it, but my tiredness had suddenly disappeared and I was now super excited to be getting more work done. I told her my thoughts and we discussed it for a bit and decided on the design and placement. She started getting everything ready while I signed the consent form. I knew what I wanted and had always been apprehensive about any tattoos on my hands. Back in the day, they were known as Job Stoppers, but I know times have changed. However, being dark skinned, I felt like it could easily be hidden, if anything since I was getting line work only; No shading. Plus rings and makeup could cover them, if I had to. She also suggested not to shade because over time it could blur. I really appreciated that bit of advice, because there are some artists who will do whatever and not care about the longevity of the work. I chose the Lotus flower for a couple reasons. For one, it goes with all of my other work, which is traditional Japanese style. For another, the Lotus represents a deep spiritual meaning, as all of my tattoos have a deep meaning and purpose for me; The Lotus stands for purity, strength, and grace. I felt that it really represented my feelings perfectly and because Lotus flowers bloom beautifully in dark, dirty, and murky water. I went through a lot this past year and have made it a point to heal from an extremely toxic and abusive relationship. And let me just say that I could give a fuck about what negativity anyone has to say about me being open... Too many people are abused and they stay quiet! I'm done being quiet! I felt like that Lotus flower...surrounded by darkness, yet trying to make my way to the light and bloom. All of my tattoos represent strength, resilience, and perseverance over life's struggles. These new ones that Jessica did are beautiful and dainty and will continue to remind me of how far I've come and that I'm stronger than I think. The Unalome represents wisdom, which I feel that I have discovered and am on the path to discovering more, as we can never have enough wisdom. Whenever I'm having a hard time or my anxiety is kicking in, looking at my hand grounds me and reminds me... If you have ever known anyone who has suffered from any trauma, PTSD or anxiety, you know that grounding is important. Grounding is basically focusing on one thing that helps you through whatever you're going through at that moment. While these tattoos are so beautiful, they also have such deep meaning for me. Thank you Jessica for making my visions a reality.

Ever since I was in high school (back in 2014) I had this awesome idea for my first tattoo. A negatively spaced band of periscope-sniffing elephants walking in a line. Elephants are my favorite animal and them doing this is a sign of luck, however I was always skeptical of getting it because the thought of having something that meant so much to me tarnished by an inadequate tattoo artist scared the daylight out of me. Fast forward to 2021, I couldn't have been more wrong. Jessica did an AMAZING job with my dream tattoo I had conjured so many years ago. Not only was she quick for such a bold tattoo but she performed effortlessly and made sure it was exactly how I wanted it. Sheesh she was perfecting over it more than I was! My nightmare of getting an awful artist quickly faded away with the first line she put on me and I knew I would be going to her for many many more ink ideas. Thank you SO much and I can not wait to go again! read more

First off let me say... I'm sooooo glad that after weeks of research I chose to go with Jess. Jess and her team were very welcoming, funny, and showed great hospitality. Jess is extremely talented and sweet. She doesn't bullshit with these tattoos. From what I can see she's a bit of a perfectionist which is actually a great thing. The lengths she went to make sure that my piece went on me straight, even, and perfectly is mind blowing. She knew I was a bit nervous and she checked on me from time to time. I will def be going back to her for more pieces! I am over the moon avout my tattoo. The lines work is solid af. Everything about it is perfection. read more

Where could I even begin?! I love Jessica's work. I've been coming to her for years. She went from shop to shop till she got her own (very, very well deserved). Her tattooing skills are so amazing but what really keeps me coming back to her is her artistic eye. These are just a few examples of her work. THANKYOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT WITH EVERYONE, Jess! read more

I found Jessica through a friend on Instagram. I have been wanting to get a script tattoo on my forearm covered up with a portrait of my cat and my friend sent me her info. I am SO glad I contacted Jessica to see if she would be willing to do it. She is an amazing, hardworking artist that made the most beautiful portrait I could have asked for. She took her time and made sure it was perfect. The attention to detail was incredible! I ended up needing two sessions and both times I went in I felt super comfortable in the shop. Everyone that works there is so welcoming. If you want to get the best tattoo of your life I would definitely recommend seeing Jessica and the other artists at her shop.
