Angie F.

If you're looking for a place to get tatted this is the place! Ive had a couple of pieces done here by Scarlett who is very friendly and fun to pass the time with! This past weekend I was able to get tatted by Cesar for their Friday the 13th flash and my experience was a 10/10. The entire time they made sure I was comfortable and doing well. You can't go wrong with who you get as the artist because they're all great. Very professional, clean and precise work! Can't wait to continue to get more done!

I knew Cesar was going to be my first tattoo artist in LA the moment I saw his work. He was super responsive and an overall awesome guy. A guy with many talents and easy to talk to. Though my tattoo is simple, I knew I could trust Cesar's work by just looking at his portfolio. Once I'm ready to get a more detailed design, I'm coming back. Heck, he'll probably be my go to artist when I'm in LA. Highly recommend!

I've been to this tattoo parlor three times now and It's my favorite place for LA. Incredibly clean, beautiful decor, kind and professional artists. Would recommend with my whole heart

These two tattoos are beautifully done and both have so much meaning to me . Shino did an outstanding job , made me feel very comfortable the entire time ! Cesar was very kind from the beginning, as soon as you walk into the shop it's truly masterpiece with all the art pieces ! The "Cookie" tattoo is an example of elegant script work. The lettering flows smoothly in addition of the small heart adds a sweet, personal touch that enhances the lettering . The sad clown tattoo is an absolute masterpiece of traditional black and grey work. The shading is skillfully executed, giving depth to the sorrowful expression, while the fine linework ensures crisp, clean details. The composition is balanced perfectly, with the ruffled collar and heart accents adding a classic vintage feel. Both very personal and intimate to me , I will definitely be returning ASAP for more work !

1st phase of my sleeve.

The shop itself is very clean, welcoming and professional. As for the tattoo itself- amazing! Cesar took my scattered ideas and turned them into a cohesive piece. His attention to detail, shading, and line work is next-tier. I appreciated Cesar's patience and communication. Before every session, he walked me through the plan and made adjustments, if requested. I can't recommend Black Tower Tattoo Studio enough.

I had such a great experience at Black Tower!!! Jhen, my tattoo artist was friendly, welcoming, and kept my well updated. She made sure I was happy with my designs a week before my appointment which I really appreciated. The entire process of checking in and getting tattooed was also very comfortable. I filled in the regular forms and got stenciled all within 45 mins. The studio was also clean and well maintained! I'd you are looking for a studio around the area I would 100% recommend checking this place out and, if you want a good recommendation for a very nice, talented artists, check out @jhene.ink on Instagram!

I went for one Friday the 13th Tattoo and ended up getting two. Michelle was so good. Her art is beautiful. Her line work extra extraordinary, she's kind and made the experience fun.

Love my beautiful moth!

I wanted a tiger paired with specific florals (forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and narcissus paperwhites) all kept above the elbow. Angie brought my vision to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. The process at Baron Art was seamless. After submitting a consultation form, I heard back within 1-2 days and coordinated everything with Cat (Angie's assistant) via email. Cat was wonderful, detailed, and quick to reply. On the day of my appointment, I received digital aftercare instructions after I checked in. Before starting, Angie was incredibly patient. She adjusted the tiger's scale on her iPad to match my arm and printed several stencils to ensure the size and placement was just right. She then freehanded the florals, precisely incorporating the negative space I requested to keep the design from feeling too heavy. Angie is incredibly talented and has a light touch. Even the pain in the inner bicep area was manageable. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session, and the result was perfect. This piece means so much to me and is very close to my heart, as it's a memorial for my mom who passed away recently. The forget-me-nots were her favorite flowers, and the narcissus paperwhites and honeysuckle are our birth flowers. The tiger was the first stuffed animal that my parents bought for me when we first immigrated to the US. It was my "guardian" throughout my childhood. Angie, thank you very much for your kindness and for creating such a meaningful, beautiful piece. This was the first of two sessions, and I already love it so much--I can't wait to see how it turns out! Some notes: - Snacks: I brought along Gatorade and was sipping on it before and during my session. I ate some candy and had a protein bar during the breaks too. It helped so much to keep my blood sugar up. - Vibe: So relaxing! The studio was spacious, and they were playing a throwback playlist from like the 2010s lol. I was vibing out and didn't even use the earbuds I brought! Everyone was so friendly too! Throughout the session, I noticed a couple artists stopped by to admire Angie's work as she was doing the tiger :) - Parking: parking in this location wasn't actually too bad. There's a structure about a 5 min walk away from the studio down the street. Just turn right into the little street where the Arrow Lodge Brewing is at. Go in a little bit, and it's on the left hand side. If you reach S Santa Fe Ave, you've gone too far!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

Went though jewelry, explained all of that. I didn't get the name of the person who did the piercing, but he was amazing. He described everything to her, had her do deep breathing. It was done quick while also taking his time with everything. She felt secure and brave, I'm just so happy with her experience! I will definitely be going back after looking at some tattoo work as well, it all looked great.

You can tell they genuinely care about what they do. If you're looking for a place you can fully trust, especially for your little ones, this is it. I can't recommend them enough!
