Massimo M.

I came to Mid Town in February with a broken heart, itching to get a tattoo as a little retail therapy. Tom threw a clean rose on my hand in under 30 minutes. The guy must have lightning in his veins. I came back a few months later and met Mario. He pinned the most beautiful Lady of Guadalupe on my left arm and, then I was hooked. I've frequented Mid Town quite a few times this year, letting Mario tattoo my chest, stomach, and arms. All of which are just as beautiful as the last. Mario doesn't miss. I can't recommend this shop enough. Everyone who works here is a heavy hitter but, you can already tell that by their art. The best part is that they're also exceptionally kind people. I've never felt so welcomed in a shop. As my younger sister would say: "the vibe is just right." So, F**K AROUND AND FIND OUT.

Super accommodating and did a great job! Went in with my nephew and friend. We all got tagged up together! Haha! Reasonable priced too. Healing well under the plastic!:) Very much recommend this place!

I got my most recent tattoos at Midtown, and all of my tattoos with Duncan. I could not be happier with every single one. Duncan takes his time to understand your vision, helps to decide the perfect placement and size for your body, and his work is impeccable. I trust no one more!

Traveled to LA from the East Coast specifically to get tattooed by Duncan. He is professional, knowledgeable, and super kind. He took his time to understand my vision, did research on the cultural image I wanted, and came up with a beautiful piece of art. I am constantly complimented on my tattoo and I loved it so much, I came back and got another with Duncan. He is so patient and makes sure your tattoo placement is perfect and that you are comfortable the entire time. Will be going back to LA in January for a third :)

Let me start off by saying I got my first tattoo at Mid Town over 5 years ago and from the beginning of my tattoo journey this place has been amazing as well as my artist Duncan. He's helped me with the planning the location and everything. I've gone back now 3 separate times to see Duncan and each time has been as great as the first. 10/10 recommend him and this shop.

This place is awesome. Very casual friendly atmosphere. Duncan Lemmon did a PHENOMENAL turtle. Photos attached

I've know Duncan for 8 years and never have I ever been disappointed in his work or attitude. Im a tiny girl and Duncan is a big guy and literally i have never met someone more gentle than him when it comes to tattooing or life in general. I've always felt comfortable around him and he really does a fantastic job of making a foreign space feel like home. I also have sent LOADS of people his way and never have they returned to me with a negative review.He's done more than half of my tattoos and I have had the hardest time having someone new tattoo me. I will definitely be saving up for my next trip to LA to get dunkified.

I want to give a big shout out to Duncan at Mid Town for the amazing quality work provided. He tattooed my last 5 tattoos & each tattoo exceeded my expectations. Duncan gave me great feedback on the artwork I wanted & I appreciate his honest opinion(s). I enjoyed the time spent at Mid Town & I absolutely love looking at my artwork every single day. TYSM Duncan, you're the best & my go to guy =)

Walked in with my boyfriend because I love tattoos and have been itching for one for over a year now. Figured we'd get one before we can't again. Went in on a Sunday and we were the only ones there and it was actually super nice and chill that way. Jake did both our tattoos, I got a monarch butterfly and the bf got his year in Old English font. I'm going in on Saturday with Jose and I'm super excited! Can't wait to see what I get next. 10/10 recommend and it was the easiest tat I've gotten (first for bf and my 4th - both on the lower scale of pain)

I've been getting tattooed by Duncan for years now, and have always been beyond happy with his work and the experience of being at midtown! His attention to detail is like no other, and truly the most genuine person ever highly highly recommend for any tattoo needs!

I've been consistent coming to see Duncan at Midtown for the last few years because he is the best of the best. I can come to him with any idea and his creative brain creates something better than I could have even dreamed of. The detail he puts into his work is next level. Not only is he a talented artist but he is a homie and someone I always look forward to spending a few hours with. He is nothing but respectful and truly so easy to talk to. I recommend him to everyone I know. I've been tattooed all over the world and I always come to Duncan because no one compares! Speaks for itself.

I came here for my first tattoo. It was done by a guy named Mario who was super nice. It's a dope shop, the people are super friendly and welcoming. I loved the results and I am very happy with the work thank you guys. Will definitely be coming back for some piercings I had in mind.

Ask the Community - Mid Town Tattoo

What is your minimum for tattoos? And how much does it cost to get my conch and forward helix pierced?

First time for tattoo. Do I need to bring an exact photo or can you draw based on photo and idea of what I ask? I would like a tiny (thunb size) paw print tattoo. on my feet and a tiny dog on my ankle area. How much would it cost?

Do you guys do belly piercings? If so how much are they?

We unfortunately do not. We only do tattoos here sorry

How much are body piercings?

We do not do piercings, only tattoos!

What is the tattoo minimum?

$80

I finally went ahead and booked a virtual consultation (being in San Diego). From the very beginning of the process, submitting the request to book, through the consultation itself, and coming in to get the tattoo, I had the most amazing experience. I felt comfortable that I was in the hands of the best team at this shop. Rob was super responsive with scheduling and questions. June created a beautiful design based on my references and feedback and added little touches that made it even better. When I showed up to my appointment, I was a little anxious, but it was such a cozy, beautiful studio and I felt welcomed and at ease by Rob and June. June took such great care to cover up the scars I wanted covered and make it look beautiful and flow well with the natural curves of my leg, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. After she finished her work, she brought out the professional camera to get the best pictures possible and promptly sent them to me the same night. You can tell she takes pride in her work (as she should!) I will absolutely be back for more tattoos in the future, and maybe add more to my leg sleeve. It was definitely worth the drive from San Diego to work with the right artist who made my vision come true!

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!

There aren't the words to express just how comfortable and PAINLESS my experience was at the 3rd St…read moreOak and Poppy. Yesterday I got my septum pierced for my birthday. 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!

She was back and forth, but now at 7.5, she decided she was READY. She almost convinced my husband to do it at the mall, but I'm glad they didn't. I heard about this place from other moms at her school, and I'm so glad we went. They squeezed us in immediately and were just great. Always spoke directly to my daughter, explained the process. 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.
