    Mistborn Tattoo

    Kevin is my artist and his line work is awesome. You can tell he really cares about his clients and their vision. Also just a chill guy.

    Paid $320, thanks frank!
    Kevin N.

    Only $250 for this tattoo here, clean and professional. Thanks to the team at IFA2 for the new ink!

    I've gone to Frank for all my tattoos & cover ups for the last 10 years. There have been rare occasions I have strayed away. Each time, I end up coming back to Frank to have them covered up ‍. Thankfully he is able to! I often receive compliments on all the tattoos Frank has done. Franks listens to what you want, makes recommendations, & will be honest if something won't work. His attention to detail, fine line work, & ability to do water color effects is amazing !

    Amazing detailed Namakubi chest tattoo done by Frank.

    Been getting all my ink from Frank for about 10 years. He's really laid back so don't be afraid to ask stupid questions. His work is smooth and lines are perfect. Frank is very detailed and puts amazing effort into his work. Very friendly, will check up on you and make sure you're feeling refreshed. Recommend people to go and give him a quick check out! You will not be disappointed getting your ink done by Frank!

    I've been going to Frank for a few years now and he's done an amazing job every time! Frank is just the very best at what he does and I always feel comfortable during my sessions. The whole place is chill and everyone is very nice! There's no better place to get your tattoo!

    I've gotten my arm sleeve done here by Ms Hana. Her fine line work and attention to detail is top notch. The staff are all very friendly and studio is clean. I would highly recommend Hana and any of the other artist that work here if you're looking for a new piece to add to your collection or if your looking for your first tattoo.

    I started my neck tattoo with Frank a couple years back and recently came back to him to do some more work on it. I just have to say that no one else will be touching my neck piece. On top of being such a talent tattoo artist, Frank is just an amazing guy all around. He is great to work with and will ultimately turn your tattoo ideas into reality, and better than what you'd imagined. I was in a tough spot but this man made it work for me still highly recommend Frank for any tattoo work you're looking to get. The group of artists he works with are all very talented as well. Really can't say enough good stuff!

    Had a great 4 sessions with apprentice Brandon. He hooked me up with a FOO Dog calf tattoo. With the help of his mentor Frank the Foo Dog came out awesome. Thanks guy you are some of the coolest guys I've worked with.

    LOVE Frank. Got this back in September of 2021. Literally he is the only tattoo artist I want to go to for tattoos. I'm a wuss when it comes to pain but he has such a light hand. The studio's vibe is very welcoming yet professional.

    Do you guys require appointments? Do you do tattoos for minor *with parent consent and paperwork etc.*? How much would a half forearm cover up be?

    Hello, do you do any patch tests and have history with use of hypoallergenic/vegan ink?

    Do you charge by hour or piece/size?

    Depends on each individual piece. Our shop minimum is 75 dollars. If it's something that would take more then 4 hours to do, it would probably be charged hourly. Thanks for inquiring, hope I answered your question… 

    Are you guys open ? I'm traveling out there the 25 and wanted to get a tattoo well 2

    Hi, best thing is to call the shop and speak to our artist. 626-576-8807

    Would you help me finding a good design for two Sanskrit words? I have the plain text only

    do a google search on this!

    What's the hourly rate?

    they charge by the inch...i had a tatt that was 2 inches high and it cost me $140. But, i would definitely go in and get a quote for what you would like.

    Whats the minimum on tattoos? Me and my friend want to get a small heart tattoo on our ankle. So we're looking for a reasonable price range.

    Hi, thanks for inquiring our shop minimum is 60 dollars

    Good tattoos, not so good people…read more I got my first tattoo by Jess years ago. The tattoo was simple and came out decent. The experience, however, was horrible. I wanted the design to be smaller, there was something wrong with the printer that day and the shop assistant had trouble making the stencil smaller. After a couple of tries Jess starts roid raging and slams the clipboard on the counter (I kid you not) and said something like whatever man I'll hook you up, meaning he's willing to tattoo it bigger for me even though I didn't want it that size. Wow, geez thank you your majesty Jess Yen, I am so blessed to get something I didn't want after watching you act out violently. Years later I decided to try again, this time with his apprentice Lucy. I had a phone consultation with her and she agreed to do my tattoo saying that her wait time is 2-3 years. I agreed and paid her a deposit. It's been more than 10 years now and I have not heard from her or gotten my deposit back. When I reached out to her, she tried to gaslight me saying that I missed my appointment. I was never informed of an appointment. First the owner display questionable emotional stability over something a little as resizing the stencil and then his apprentice scams me for a few hundred dollars. Yeah, this place gets negative stars if I could.

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece. Maybe this tattoo thing is an addiction and will keep you coming back for more.

Even though it was painful towards the end he took breaks with me and gave me numbing cream. I have had 14 tattoos and this one was painful at the end by far just cause of all the different coloring!

Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her. Everything went so smoothly and it was mostly painless - only a pinch in the process but no discomfort after the jewelry was already in. My friends and I left with super cute nostril piercings! Highly recommend this studio. Very grateful and happy with the experience here.

    I was going to leave my review as is but i will not be called a liar about my experience then…read morepressured to delete my review entirely. "Regarding your wait time, management confirmed it was significantly shorter than stated" - attached are photos at 6:20pm on 4/11/26 aka the time i went in & upon arrival i asked to use the restroom, i took a selfie amongst other pics & the date & time can be found on each one. When leaving, i was asked for my information & to enroll in ur $5 off coupon which was at 8:16pm on 4/11/26. almost exactly two hours, not sure which manager looked into that but i did not randomly chose that number. Consultation - Tabitha asked via phone if i was given the option or made aware of threadless vs threaded jewelry, i was not nor was I given the option between the two. (Im assuming since you guys only carry threadless anyways.) Lacy said the piercings could get expensive when downsizing multiple sizes & when custom jewelry becomes a thing (she gave me an example of hers that have a wide flat back) which i understood. I was never told the jewelry on hand would be so flimsy or else i would have left with a spare set. or why wouldnt that be offered if its a known thing that theyre just going to break soon after? "our management team has reached out multiple times" - Tabitha called me on 4/20/26 at 2:03pm post yelp review & asking me to elaborate which i did. she apologized & said she would investigate & immediately followed up asking if i could "take down the yelp review" I initially agreed but im so glad i didnt. All that was asked of me was to pick a date & time & she will have someone replace the jewelry that broke at the el monte location but she would have to call me back & let me know if there was someone at that location who COULD do it & that she would call back. when she called back at 2:38pm 4/20/26 she stated ordering a threaded set would take 6-8 weeks & that she will order my downsize. we agreed on that solution & hungup. Then 4/28/26 Tabitha texts me & there was no solution so we could agree on so thanked her & left it at that (screenshots attached as well) "waived fees" - crazy cause you guys swear this is something special. when i get my nails done & one breaks theyre quick to fix it FOR FREE & not keep reminding me that breakage could happen nor badgering me that IM at fault for it/knew the risks. Theres no fee to waive if i want to put the jewelry in my own face for free which you guys denied me of because u didnt want to mail them to me. "we offered appointments at our other locations with free parking lots" - text attached of Tabithas convo but she definitely stated STREET parking, exactly how the LA location is so.. not sure where the "Convenience & Options" were. sorry it came to this Leo, maybe ask both sides next time instead of just listening to one.
