Tommy is amazing. His hands are super soft and he is incredibly talented. He has done two Tats so far for this family and I'm sure a third will be on its way.
Tommy and the guys here are great. They're great company and kept me laughing on my both my sittings 6+ hours. Tommy was great, he listened to me and we went back and forth for a couple weeks before I decided on a tattoo. There where times that I told Tommy that I trusted him with some freehand sketch waves and color and I couldn't be happier!! Tommy is great and all the guys there are helpful and awesome. Can't wait to go back !
What could have been a bad experience in the beginning because of lack of communication worked out at the end. My cousin has had work done by Tommy. He does great work. Story time.. A few years ago I mentioned I wanted to get a tattoo (my very first) so my cousin gifted me a gift certificate from here worth a couple hundred dollars. It was good for two years.. i forgot about it for a while.. close to the expiration date I contact this place to make an appointment via email. After days of emailing back and forth I finally set a date and a time and more importantly a design. So.. the day of my appointment I leave work early (I work in DTLA) where traffic is ridiculous. I come in and say I'm here for an appointment with Tommy.. the two guys there look at me like I'm dumb lol then they look at each other and make a face.. so odd. Finally Huu approaches me and tells me that Tommy isn't here. WTF! He says Tommy doesn't have any appointments scheduled for that day. SMH! At this point I'm pissed. I'm literally excited to get MY FIRST TATTOO and the artist is a no show. I explain to Huu that I've been in contact with someone via email and they confirmed my appointment. He basically tells me that the person I was emailing didn't write it in the calendar. (My dumb butt didn't even notice that there was no name of the person emailing me on the signature). I asked who monitors the emails and Huu didn't snitch. He instead apologizes and offers to tattoo me himself. (Oh but before he called Tommy to explain the situation and Tommy said he didn't have an appointment scheduled. Blah blah. I was upset. I told Huu I wanted to redeem my certificate and he said I could either come back another day and redeem it with him or have it done by Huu and pay everything out of pocket (he didn't accept my gift certificate). My bf convinces me to just get it done then and there so I do. Huu sketched out my design and was setting up. I was super nervous. But still pissed that they played me and did me dirty on my appointment. Overall I loved my tattoo. Huu was great! He was nice and had a light hand. In the end I'm glad I decided to get tattooed anyways. I'd most definitely come back for another tattoo from Huu. Dope dude!! I still have the $200 gift certificate.. expired and all but heyyy.. it happens. I just hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.
Tommy is a genius with his designs and I've been totally happy with all the work he has done on me. He pays great attention to detail and strives to make each piece feel like it was a collaborative effort. Lines are super clean and shading is spot on, even to the point where he makes the piece pop out with lighting effects. My wife also has been completely happy with her pieces as well. I'm looking forward to getting more work done in the future. Tommy has done cover-ups on both of my arms. He also did both of my chest pieces too. Huu and Bom are also great and super nice guys to talk to. They make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door.
Totally love my tattoo with Bom. He was very professional and manage to assisting me to combine two picture into one . Their facility is clean and their staff are super polite and nice !!' Price is also great!! I will totally recommend there to get your tattoo! And I will sure go back there again too!
Before I visited all these tattoo shops in the area, I read the reviews extensively on all of them. I designed my own tattoo which consisted of 3 initials. It was a very simple tattoo so i could of went anywhere to get it done. I first checked out 2 other tattoo shops just north of Fresh Ink on Baldwin Avenue. The first one I visited, the owner was cool but he didn't seem to enthusiastic about it and I felt a little dismissed by his attitude. The shop also wreaked of cigarette smoke. I don't care if someone is a smoker, but businesses have to be mindful that not all customers like the smell of cigarettes. So to think that I would have up sit there and inhale the scent of cigarettes while getting a tattoo didn't sit well with me at all. Secondly when asked how long it would approximately take to tattoo it, he said about 7 minutes. Hhhhhmmmm, that also didn't sit well with me. I went to visit the next tattoo shop and was met by a very nice apprentice that was professional and he was pretty enthusiastic. He played around with design and took his time talking to me. I wanted my tattoo in dark blue ink but he said that he didn't have much experience with color yet. He was super nice but I decided to check out one last shop, Fresh Ink Tattoos. And I am so glad I checked them out last. All the reviews were stellar about Tommy and Hu. When I walked in, I immediately noticed how clean the place was. I was greeted by Hu. He was personable, professional and very helpful. I showed him my creation and I also had some other ideas. Hu took the time to draw and recreate what I had envisioned. I asked if he would be able to do color and he said it wouldn't be a problem. After talking to him, I made a tentative appointment with him. When I arrived for my appointment a few days later with my boyfriend, Hu was again nothing but professional and courteous. He took his time to make sure the size of the tattoo was just right and the placement of it was also perfect. During the process, we had a friendly conversation. Hu is super down to earth and really makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. The tattoo took about an hour. He took his time and didn't rush even though it was a simple tattoo. My boyfriend and I are super happy with the end product. I absolutely recommend Hu if you're in market to get a tattoo. I mentioned that I wanted to get a huge tattoo of a Phoenix and he was humble enough to say that if I wanted a big piece like that, I should get it done by Tommy, the owner. Again, that speaks volumes of his work ethics and professionalism. Hu told me if I had any questions about the aftercare, not to hesitate to call him. Thanks so much for everything Hu! You rock! I'll be back!
After calling to check prices , I was impressed by the minimum to get one. The ambiance was authentic and cozy. After so many trials to perfect our pieces, Huu was patient and helpful. Everyone there was so cool that I gave my oil art frame as a token of appreciation. I will definitely be back soon
Really cool people love the work got my tatt done by huu clean shop would def come back super nice guys and would recommend friend to come in here

I came in to ask for pricing on a small tattoo that I wanted on my wrist. The tattoo artist, Huu (I think that's how his name was spelled), was very friendly and helpful. I showed him the picture of the tattoo I wanted and he quoted me $120. I was okay with the price and decided to proceed with it. I asked if I can pay with card, he said yes but there would be a 3% fee for that. It was understandable since it's a small private shop. Since I told him it's my first time getting a tattoo, he was very considerate and asked if I was feeling okay several times during the procedure. The tattoo turned out exactly like the picture I showed him and I loved it! Definitely recommend Huu! read more

It's been a long time since I've gotten some ink. And I'm so happy I found Tom. He did a Koi for my best friend that had passed away when he used to have his shop on Sunset. He's OG. Truly a master at his craft. Much appreciated and always great to see him. read more

Had my first tattoo done by Tommy back I'm may, and let me say that he is a true master of his craft. He made the process comfortable and at least for me painless I had no scars or scabs, it healed beautifully. I will definitely go back to Tommy for more work. I couldn't be happier with my results. read more

Tommy was great. He squeezed me in on a walk-in, I'm not from the area so it was very sweet of him. I just needed a shade in and he manage to get done within 2 hours. And within 2 hours work he definitely helped me out by touching up on my outline done from a previous artist (which shop has closed down) like 5 years ago, the details in the after result is impeccable for the amount of time he did it in. I am VERY satisfied with the result, I will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area again. Will definitely spread the word about Tommy's shop back in the city. Shop is clean and chill btw(love it). Highly recommend Tommy! (: read more

Got a dragon, fu dog, and a hannya mask sleeve done by tommy. It was a great experience since Tommy knows what he is talking about and his tattooing skills are incredible. Not only was the shop really clean, I couldn't be any happier since it was Tommy's birthday the day I got my tattoo and he still came in to get work done. read more
