Sam is hands down one of the best tattoo artists I've ever worked with. His touch is incredibly…read moregentle, and his attention to detail is unmatched. Every line, every shade--flawless. He takes the time to really understand your vision and style, and if you're not quite sure what you want, he somehow manages to create something even better than you imagined. I've gone to Sam for multiple tattoos, and he has never disappointed. Whether it's fine line, traditional, realism--you name it--he's a literal master of so many styles. On top of that, he's super easy to communicate with and makes the whole process feel comfortable and collaborative.

Sam was down to earth, very contentious and meticulous with his work, and had a great overall vibe…read more I will be returning, as his combination of professionalism and high skill level/experience is exactly what I value in an artist.

I've been working with George aka: Drone since 2022 when he was working at someone else's studio…read more So when he opened Malaka Tattoo Collective, of course I followed him. The studio is impeccably clean- always new equipment and protective gear used. I can't say much about the other artists at the studio, but I've seen their portfolios and they all have unique styles. I only have used George for my own tattoos (8 large pieces and a chest cover up). I love the way he works. I give him my idea of what I want, location and general size. And he will sit with me and do the design while we make modifications together. He always makes her. I am completely satisfied before we start. Once we did a 12 hour day, and he never rushed me, himself, or seemed annoyed with the time. As long as I have ideas and space on my skin, I will keep returning here to get tattooed by George.

This review is LONG overdue…read more I searched for a watercolor tattoo artist for a very long time, and then I found George Drone--and I'm so glad I did. I've had two pieces done by him, and both are truly impeccable works of art. I believe tattoos should be intimate, handcrafted, and deeply personal. People decorate their bodies with stories--of trauma, experience, healing, and growth. George understands that on a rare level. His work doesn't just sit on the skin; it captures character, energy, and story all at once. You can tell a lot about an artist by how they paint, and he portrayed my symbolism perfectly. George, thank you for creating such gorgeous, unique work. I'm constantly complimented by people who don't even like tattoos. Years later, the wear is beautiful and the colors remain vibrant. I'm genuinely honored to carry your rare and original artwork with me. Thank you for displaying my symbols so effortlessly and with such care. When the time comes for my next piece, you'll absolutely be hearing from me. George is truly a one-of-a-kind artist--his vision, concept, and execution are flawless. I couldn't be happier. Tattoos are forever, and I'll be wearing mine proudly--even when I'm old and wrinkled.

I am very late on this post due to having some losses in my family it has taken me a while to…read morerecover and be able to write this. First off I will start with how professional Wulf is from the start of the process with booking the appointment all the way until the final part of cleaning it up and getting the best pictures of the artwork he is hands down the best at what he does. I have been going to Wulf since May of 2021 and will always go back when I need more work done. His first piece of art he did for me was a Wu-Tang Clan W with a very nice touch of adding in an old school boombox within it to make it era appropriate and he killed it all the way down to the minor details. The second piece of art he did for me was a tribute to my first dog Teggy. She was with me for 15 years but most importantly she was there for me for all the worst moments in my life and thankfully because of her never leaving my side I was always able to get back up and keep moving forward. When I came to Wulf with the idea and I told him the back story of Teggy he said it would be an honor to do it that meant so much to me because he never met her a day in her life but he made sure to put every single detail about her that he could it came out amazing I am forever grateful for the work and passion he put in to making Teggy look as beautiful as she did when she was still here with me. A few days ago I recently lost another dog his name was Blue and I definitely will be hitting up Wulf to have him do his magic so I can have Blue with me forever. I will always make sure that whenever I need any work done I will always go back to Wulf because I know I will always leave knowing I had the best artist put his all in to his work. For anyone in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas make sure you hit him up for all your artwork needed and for anyone else that doesn't mind traveling to the west coast to get amazing work done I highly recommend Wulf Tattoos at 1upinkwest for all your needs.

I was…read moreinitially referred to someone who does great work, but to my surprise (and not my wallet's!), he was charging over $700 for what I was looking to get done. So I turned to Yelp -- which definitely came in handy as an Elite member -- and that's how I found Mason. From the very beginning, the communication was easy and comfortable. He listened to my preferences, understood that it had been years since my last tattoo, and made sure I felt at ease the entire time. Not once did I feel uncomfortable. Mason not only has a light hand (which I truly appreciated!), but he also went the extra mile and even played my song music request during the session lol. I was able to capture a few photos and videos, and overall the experience was just great. We've completed session one and have one more session to go -- and I'm already looking forward to it. Mason, thank you for your easy communication, professionalism, and the comfort you provide. You rock, and you'll definitely be my artist moving forward!
