cheesing with my new floral piece done by the amazing kyle
Abbey B.

Had kyle work on my arm for about 4 hours and he absolutely slayed it. His work is extremely precise and he really takes his time to create wonderful quality tattoos. We had great convos and he was super attentive to how eventually my neck would get cranked up and gave me breaks lol. The vibe in the shop is awesome. You feel comfy and safe. They play movies and play good music! Highly recommend going to Spicy Kyle!

Helix Piercing by FATE
Megan S.

Everything about the experience today at One Truth Tattoo was wonderful. My sister and I wanted to get a piercing together and called in today and were told we could come in as walk-ins, which was great because we were worried we would need an appointment. We were greeted with smiles, as we filled out the paperwork the tattoo artist who was on break was also super friendly! The whole vibe made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We had FATE as our piercer and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very welcoming! In addition, the price for the piercing and jewelry was very reasonable! It was my sisters first piercing and FATE helped her feel comfortable and she loved the whole experience. We will definitely come back and support this business!

Chest tattoo by Darlene!!

I cannot say enough about Darlene. Professionalism and cleanliness are priorities and she is definitely top tier. Now let's talk about her work. Beautiful lines, her use of color is brilliant, I get compliments daily. I am so happy with her tattoos, I have even had her fix some other tattoos I have that were sub par and she brought them to life!! Go see her and you will not be disappointed!

One Truth Tattoo is such a calm and welcoming place. Each artist is respectful, kind, and professional towards anyone that walks into the shop. Darlene in particular is the only reason I have as many tattoos as I do. She skillfully creates any idea or concept into a reality. I'm continuously impressed by her ability to make my ideas better than I even anticipated. You can tell she commits whole heartedly to every piece she designs. Whether you find an image online, or ask her to create something unique, she'll take care of it. Her style and technique is essentially whatever your tattoo needs it to be. She can do it all. During appointments she takes ample time to ensure the design is exactly what you want and is flawlessly placed before starting. Darlene makes it a point to ensure you feel comfortable and confident with the tattoo. She's light handed and does insane fine line work. I have always been more than happy with each and every piece I've received from Darlene. I recommend her to anyone interested in getting their first or fiftieth tattoo.

While everyone at One Truth is absolutely wonderful Darlene is just THE best! She is super talented, amazing, kind, gentle, fast, patient, clean and professional. Just know that! I've absolutely LOVED every single tattoo Darlene has designed and done for me and have never had anything but amazing things to say about how she runs her sessions. I've always felt comfortable, listened to, and that my art is cared about. She is passionate and takes great pride in her work! I would highly recommend Darlene to anyone looking for a great artist to trust with their ink! She did my first one years ago and I've gone to her ever since!

Darlene captured my kitties beautifully
Kayle D.

Let me just start by saying all of the artists are very talented and professional, the atmosphere this shop has is extremely welcoming. Darlene specifically is exceptional at what she does! I've been getting tattooed by Darlene for over 10 years following her from shop to shop, she is the only artist I get my work done by. Darlene is so creative and can create anything you can think of, and it comes out BEAUTIFUL. If you're looking for good quality work One Truth Tattoo is the place to go! I absolutely love this shop. Thank you for outstanding customer service and for always going above and beyond to make sure your customers are happy and satisfied.

The purpose of this review is to describe my consultation experience with this shop/owner and…read moreexplain why it left me concerned about the communication and professionalism involved here. I'm sharing only what occurred and how I experienced it, without claiming to know anyone's intentions. For the past 4ish maybe 5 years, I've wanted to have work done by the owner of this shop. To get started, I had to complete a text consultation with someone other than the artist, which was new to me maybe I'm just too old school. The conversation initially seemed to be going well. We discussed my ideas, placement, and sizing, and then I was asked whether I wanted color. Since I'm Black and have limited experience with color tattoos, I explained that I was unsure how certain colors would appear on my skin. Shortly after disclosing that I was Black, I received this response: "Hi! I spoke to [the owner]. Unfortunately, this is not a project she's interested in." There was no explanation, constructive feedback, or attempt to suggest another direction. I even asked whether if they could recommend someone else(thinking someone else at the shop might be interested in the opportunity), but no response after that quote above. Considering the complete project would likely have cost more than $15,000 maybe even around 20, I expected a little more effort and professionalism from the consultation process. I had also been extremely flexible. Aside from a portrait, I was willing to give the artist creative freedom to interpret most of my ideas in her own style, as long as the overall concepts remained intact. That's why the immediate dismissal was confusing. Looking back, I also realized that I couldn't find a single tattoo on a Black client featured on the owner's Instagram. I hadn't thought much of that while I was simply admiring the artwork, but after this interaction, it stood out. I can only speak to what happened during my consultation, and I can't claim to know the owner's intentions. However, the timing and sudden shift in the conversation left me feeling deeply uncomfortable and wondering whether my skin tone influenced the decision. If the artist believed the designs wouldn't work or wouldn't work well on my complexion a professional explanation or an alternative suggestion would have gone a long way. Instead, I walked away feeling dismissed and unwelcome. It's disappointing because I remember the dope artist I originally followed saying in an interview, "I don't care if you want your boyfriend or girlfriend's name tattooed on your face , let's get this money!" Aside from the artwork, that open minded, client-focused attitude was a big part of why I wanted her work in the first place. Unfortunately, that wasn't the energy I received. Instead was left feeling sad and disappointed. At this point, "BeMore... Whatever the Artist Wants to Do" might be a more accurate name of the shop.

Gosh. How do I begin this review? It's funny. I had been thinking about getting double piercings on…read moremy lobes for years now, and today I said "y'know what?, Today is the day." And I started looking up reviews for different places, and backstory: I have trauma from the last pierceshop from a ln expensive, and painful helix piercing experience in the past that I was at the very least slightly apprehensive of getting this done even though it's something I've been wanting for a while now. --Cut to looking at pictures of the different studio spaces and of the staff doing their thing. I saw a picture of the people who work at this studio as a large group, and remember saying to myself "this one." "These are my people" --Along comes Kai. So sweet. So comforting, and so confident in what she's doing, the whole affair felt like a casual chat with a friend (while you're getting pierced mind you) She was thorough in her desire for the piercings I got to look symmetrical, cared about my opinion before moving forward, and was able to switch off between being professional and casual seamlessly and exactly where I needed to feel comfortable about what we were doing. Kai thank you so much, and I will be back if the inspiration for another piercing strikes! You're the best.

In February 2026, my husband Rob passed unexpectedly, one month before we would have celebrated 49…read moreyears together. I have been in shock, my sleep is sporadic, and grief has consumed me. Then, two weeks ago, I woke up from a dream in which Rob's name was being tattooed on my arm. I knew immediately that I needed a memorial tattoo. With Rob's 79th birthday approaching--my first without him since he turned 30--I was dreading it. Yet somehow, I knew I needed to receive the tattoo on that day. In my dream, Rob's name was written in English, but I wanted his name and my message to remain private--cryptic. Our son suggested Sanskrit for the text because Rob felt honored and privileged to spend several years in Mumbai teaching the Method to drama and film students in Bollywood. Sanskrit! An ancient language of India, considered one of the oldest languages in the world. Perfect! Then I found artist Joon Thomas, an expert in calligraphy from around the world. Using Devanagari script for the Sanskrit, he translated, designed, and penned two tattoos for me--one featuring Rob's name and the other bearing a message. I was overcome with joy when I first saw Joon's exquisite calligraphy! But then came the challenge of finding the perfect tattoo artist to bring it to life. With so many talented artists in Los Angeles, I turned to AI for help finding someone with experience working with non-Latin scripts. It led me to Cacho, whose fine-line precision matched what I was looking for above all else. And then--kismet. Cacho had an opening on Rob's birthday! The moment Cacho welcomed me into his studio, my pre-tattoo anxiety dissolved. I was immediately struck by his warmth and by the genuine appreciation he had for Joon's calligraphy. Collaboration is clearly a priority for Cacho, and his patience is astounding. I asked him repeatedly to adjust the sizes and reposition the images until everything felt exactly right, and he never once made me feel rushed. Having Cacho tattoo my Sanskrit text was a spiritual experience. I was entranced by his steady hand as he brought my words to life on my inner forearms. He captured every nuance of the calligraphy with extraordinarily delicate, precise strokes. I floated out of Cacho's studio. I am mesmerized by these delicate works of art on my arms--timeless expressions of my heart and proclamations of my eternal love for my soulmate. Cacho took something deeply personal and translated it into art that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. He inked it flawlessly, delicately, and indelibly. I could not have entrusted Rob's memory to a more gifted and sensitive artist.

Really talented artist and very communicative. Can't wait to go back next week for my other piece.read more
