Came here to accompany my friend getting a tattoo! Such an eclectic spot! Met some of the artist and they were all down to earth. The only complaint is the parking so arrive early if you have an appointment. The tattoo artist my find had did an amazing job! She really listens so well to carry out the vision of the customers. I'm tempted to get some work done here for sure read more

Cool shop, good tunes. Very satisfied with Adam's work. I'll be booking him again soon. Highly recommend.

Rabble Rouser is a very cool and clean tattoo shop near Venice beach with a stable of amazing artists and so much interesting decor on the walls, it's easy to get distracted while you're getting inked, looking for all the hidden art gems. I recently got a tattoo from Alayna and gave her the direction of, "A kitten, but make it cute and angry." She did not disappoint. When I showed up for my appointment, she was ready with a page full of designs that were all so perfect, I had trouble deciding. Honestly, I would have gotten them all if I could have. I eventually chose one, and in less than an hour, she had it on my skin with perfect color and shading while chatting the entire time. To me that's the mark of a true professional, someone who is such an expert in their field, they can just do it on instinct. I am absolutely DELIGHTED with my tattoo and will definitely be back for another one next time I'm in the LA area. Just beware that her appointments fill up quickly because she is in such high demand, so book early! read more

I LOVE this place! My friend and I came in for walk in tattoos and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. They were able to get us in same day which was amazing! Mason was our tattoo artist and he was incredible! He took so much time and care in making sure the tattoos we wanted were exactly right and then the experience itself was so fun! Mason was so kind and patient and a great conversationalist. He made us feel right at home! He's also extremely talented. The best looking tattoo I've ever gotten for sure. I highly recommend Rabble Rouser for tattoos and mason if you're looking for a talented and friendly artist. Thank you so much Rabble Rouser! read more

Came here last week for my first tattoo ever and worked with Paul to get it done! I came in with an idea for original tattoo and he was able to take that and make something great! We were able to text ahead of time and he showed me designs he created that I was able to refine and give notes on. He graciously accepted all of the notes I had and worked with me to create the tattoo of my dreams. Knowing it was my first tattoo ever he also set expectations of what the experience would be like for me for before, during and after the tattoo. He was extremely thorough and detailed with me in every type of way. I love how the tattoo came out and would 100% come back here for any further tattoos and highly recommend everyone else to come here for any tattoo needs hey have! read more

I know of Paul and Rabble Rouser tattoo because of my wife, and thank the gods for that! Paul is AMAZING. He will, not only do a great job with your tattoo, but is also insightful and creative and involves you and your input every step of the way. He will take an idea or design, add his own Paul magic, and make it into something that will be praised by many people. The shop in itself is very neat, everyone who works there is friendly. I also love the fact that Rabble Rouser let's you pick a charity of your choice out of 3 to make a donation to. They sell aftercare kits that are also vegan and better than your big chain pharmacies like CVS. read more

Finally bit the bullet and got another tattoo after a decade since my last one! Leslie was my tattoo artist, and she did a fantastic job. She was very patient as I went through several design changes and placements during our session (sorry!). Overall, couldn't be happier: lines are even and clean, and the tattoo has healed up nicely after a month. Rest of the staff are friendly and welcoming, and I would recommend Rabble Rouser Tattoo to anyone who's interested in getting a tattoo, whether it's their first or their 100th one! read more

I've now gotten two tattoos here, a cover-up by Kenny and a quarter sleeve by Alayna. Both did incredibly beautiful custom work and were thoughtful and responsive when I requested tweaks to get the designs just how I wanted. They were also incredibly cool and fun to chat with while they worked--important consideration when you're spending 6+ hours one-on-one with someone! Will definitely be back for my next tattoo(s)--I'm hooked! read more

This shop is very clean and professional. Staff are quite friendly! Great for a first time tattoo. Their online website is very nice, you can browse through each artist's work and see which style best fits your aspirations. You can schedule a free virtual consultation and book an appointment if you decide to move forward. Prices are pretty reasonable! I got a tattoo on my forearm that took around an hour, and it was $180. Kenny Takar was my tattoo artist, he's great! Definitely pays a lot of attention to detail and goes for perfection, which I appreciate. Definitely check this place out! read more

I have not written a Yelp review in YEARS but I just had to share my wonderful experience getting my tattoo at this shop. I had very little time in LA as I was here on a work trip. I was able to easily book my appointment online and the process was very easy and clear. I browsed the available artist and chose Mason as my artist. When I got there they were all so kind and approachable. I felt at ease right away. Mason took great care in designing what I wanted and had great ideas that made it even better. The attention to detail and customer service was the best I'd ever received. I have to go to LA again in October and am already looking forward to getting another one at this shop again. Thank you Mason! read more

I dropped in today to get a tattoo to honor my mother who I lost a few years ago. I read all of the great reviews and I was not disappointed. It's a really cool location and when I met Luis, I knew he was the guy. Just a lovely person to talk with and really cared about the work he was doing. You could immediately tell he loved what he does and it shows in the work. Highly recommend Rabble Rouser and Luis! read more

Got my first tattoo ever at Rabble Rouser, and I'm already planning my second! Leslie was my tattoo artist and I had a great experience with her. I came in a week prior for a walk-in consult, showed a few photos of what I wanted, and she sketched up a design. I came back a week later (with moral support from my partner haha), and she was very patient as I anxiously made decisions about size and placement. I was very comfortable throughout the process, and she maintained a lighthearted attitude which helped me be at more ease. I love my tattoo and am so glad I finally went through with it! Leslie was friendly, patient, and made the process easy. Everyone I met at Rabble Rouser were also very welcoming and made me feel at ease. Thanks again for a great first tattoo experience! read more

So ... I haven't had a tattoo for 40 years. In the days that we got our little piece of flash everyone always asked us if we were biker chicks which is really funny to me considering how body art has evolved. I love Alayna's work so much but tried to get in touch with her several times and never had any luck. Before covid she was booked up for ever. I saw that they were having a Valentine's Day flash sale and wanted to test out the waters again before I went for something bigger and bolder. I read good things about Jim Parchen and booked a little flash heart paw with him right over my ankle bone. Lol. It was easy peasy and I plan to add to it in the near future, get my old one redone and maybe get something really big and bold. He was super nice, fun to chat with, didn't want to just make the flash totally plain. Things healed no problem. Will be back! read more

The shop was really nice, unique and had a great vibe. I was a walk in and the tattoo artist, Kenny, was able to take the pic I had and create the perfect rendition to use. He was professional, supportive, really nice and respectful. This was my first tattoo, and it is exactly what I wanted. I cannot recommend this shop enough, and Kenny specifically. I'd definitely come back here. And the price was good. read more

ZERO...Impossible to communicate with either the shop or the artist Leslie Young. Leslie takes my deposit but refuses to answer any emails with questions in a timely manner. After taking my deposit, refuses to communicate about ANYTHING...COMPLETE RADIO SILENCE! Absolutely ZERO communication. Whether you are a good artist, mediocre artist or the best of the best artist, you need to be able to communicate with your cash paying customer on some level. How can we entrust you to work on us when you have absolutely no desire to talk to us. I know the artist does not want make friends BUT you took the money, so then it becomes YOUR JOB to answer any concerns the client has before the session. I am talking basic questions. If you are gonna take the money, then develop some basic professional social skills for your client if you want to run a business. Worst encounter with an artist yet... read more

I went to go see Jim Parchen after booking an appointment over phone ( they do accept walk ins but it's a good idea to call ahead). I was looking to start my second sleeve, I have my back filled, chest shoulders and a half sleeve already. I've been to many tattoo shops from LA to Japan and New Zealand. This one is the best one I've been to. They have knowledgeable, friendly, badass staff, with excellent professionalism, cleanliness, and post tattoo care. Jim worked with me on my design and gave me professional advice on the aesthetics, flow of design and what will look best now, and 10 years from know. Jim knows his stuff. read more

Situation: Business Trip to Hawthorne, California Time: Dusk, someday say night. I guess it all depends on your current geological position in the world at the moment Mood: Adventurist, bored, restless, determine. But all these emotions were not going to hold me back from finally completing my ultimate plan of emotional devotion Action Plan: Drive out to a reputable loOking tattoo parlor with a high amount of stars and reviews (as society's social media reviews and comments are held true and dear to my heart) but that failed so I went with what was open. So I took my trusty stead (at the moment a white Ford Escape) to escape to this open and available house of art. When I arrive o I quickly out line my plan of action to get some fine inscriptions place on my epidermis. Luis House was a great artist and quickly got my vision and poor explain vision for the inscriptions. Quickly we got to work and his skill and quality became apparent with every passing second. After a brief set back by some privileged girls expecting to get tattoo ASAP (Luis was the only artist in at the time), he finished up and got me ready to go. End Results: Overall I left completely satisfied and please with my my two tattoos that I will proudly carry with my person till the end of days. My wife was highly please with my act of love too (at least from what my fEeblemind can gather from her reaction). read more

I apologize for the long review but it is so worth it! Let me just say if i could give them 10 stars i would! I have gotten a tattoo before at a not so good shop in my home town, so getting a second on i really did my research. After looking around at the shops around my house in LA ( i like to keep my spending locally) i came across Rabble Rouser. Now to give you context of my situation, i messaged the shop on New Years Eve and was not expecting a response since it was a holiday but i was inquiring about the next day (New Years Day) just to see what could happen so i can get some fresh ink for the new year. After messaging the shop i got almost in immediate response saying that they will for sure look into in bc they normally are not open that day but wanted to check and see if anyone would be at the shop. Pleasantly surprised i was ecstatic by just the possibility of it happening. About and hour or so (after mid night) i got another message saying that there will be someone there and what time would i like, i chose a time and we where all set. I really appreciated the responsiveness of the inquiry and that it was such a great experience for the get go. We arrived at the shop, being the first ones there as we where early, and as we check the door Paul (the shop owner) comes up to great us and opens the shop. He was so kind, knew my name and offered us water or anything we needed. We told him to take his time as we were in no rush, and agter about 20 min already had my tattoo printed and sized (after a brief convo about placement) he got the size and style right off the bat and he re drew it, which was great. He prepped his station and showed me all the needles he was going to use which where all in sterilized medical packaging. As we start tattooing he constantly checked in with me to make sure i was ok and had great conversations. After we where all done he bandage me up (even let me pick my bandage color) and we went over care of the tattoo and he sent me home with a "after care" package. Also my tattoo is everything i wanted and more! Overall this experience was AMAZING and the attention to detail went above expectations and was by far the best experience i have ever had. I will forever be coming to this shop for any future work and i HIGHLY recommend this shop and Paul was just the best! read more

This review has been a long time coming, I just wanted to wait till my tattoos were fully healed before I wrote it~ I had been researching tattoo parlors in my area because I really was itching for a new tattoo. I had designed my axolotl tattoo and wanted someone who was clean with their lines, and good with color. I found Rabble Rouser through Yelp, and liked the photos I saw. I also went on the Rabble Rouser website to go through all the artists portfolios and liked what I saw even more! In mid October I was ready to get my tattoo done, so I had just walked in to see if there was any availability and I was lucky enough to have Luis House tattoo me that day. The studio was VERY clean, and I loved the decor inside. Luis was very easy to talk to, and very professional. I told him the basic colors I wanted, but I told him other than that he was free to do whatever with the background and shading. It turned out perfect! I love the water and little bubble details he had added to my design! The colors are so vivid, and the line art is perfect! Once my axolotl tattoo healed up, I was wanting to get another done once I heard about the Halloween flash event that they were having. When I went I saw a really cute skeleton bat design that was done by Alayna Magnan. I asked if the tattoo could be done in purple and green inks, and she said yes. I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out! The colors are so vibrant and the line art is so clean. I can't thank Luis and Alayna enough. I get complimented on my tattoos all the time! I will definitely be coming back here for more tattoos in the future! read more

So i've been getting tattoos from Alayna Magnan since March of '11. The quality of her work is impeccable. It's up there with the best work of any great artist you're gonna find. But that's just a part of the whole experience. She's so much fun and amazing as a person that the sessions just fly by. As soon as i'm done i cannot wait for our next appointment! And as a professional artist, there's no comparison. She actually listens to my ideas and suggestions and incorporates them even if it's last minute shit. But her take on the art is so incredible that i almost always defer to whatever direction or recommendation she makes because it's usually a perfect suggestion. As for the shop itself, it's clean and up to any standards. There are no bullshit panels with stupid stock tattoos all over the place. It's truly a custom shop by any definition. Truly a classy place to get a tattoo and have an awesome experience. read more

Ok, hats off to Louis and The whole team here! I have to say after visiting several shops and because I wasn't getting my ink done in Rome while on vacation and then walk around and Fly 11hours so I decided to wait until I got home and find a place. RRT had some good reviews and what I did was go around and check some places out and as with most places I went with my 1st. Impression and gut feeling, after all I am a great judge of character and no one else was going to make this decision for me! I walked into Rabble Rouser Tattoo and asked the general questions and then showed my image and I was asked to hold on one moment and let the receptionist (who was pleasant, smiling and super nice)to go get an artist for me. Not a minute later Luis came up introduced himself , handshake and took a look a the piece and was confident he could definitely do it and had me send it to him via email. The piece was ready to go and made into a larger format that I wanted and the placement was dead on first shot!! ( not an easy task but it' was spot on! Within 10 minutes he was set up in his station and ready to go, having had tattoos before he said still offered to go over everything and what to expect but I was ready and off we went! Now let me say this, the shoppe itself is very relaxing, cool, clean and modern but this place is not brand new, however, it is not worn and torn for being in business for the time it has been. They take care of their stuff and the place is impeccably well taken care of! Luis was personable and talked here and there while going at his craft with great skill and I was pretty amazed because tattoo etiquette usually is that the artist doesn't converse while working, which is understandable but this was different. The whole time he was asking how I was doing, took his time, I didn't feel like he was rushing through, the music was jumping and it was all in all a great experience. Once Luis got done, he went over the aftercare and cleaned it up and had me take a look in the mirror and I did everything not to jump up and act like a ape in heat it was frickin awesome! I did go crazy on my social media pages and the reactions from friends and family was the Same! Another great thing about these guys is for every $100 you spend you get these chips and at the front of the shop are 4 jars for 4 different charities and you put a chip in any of the jars and they make a donation to that charity, which is pretty kick ass, they're giving back and paying forward and making art! I can't wait to get back and get some other ink done with Luis pretty soon too. Oh did I forget to mention the "thank-you" bag they give ya with the aftercare info, ointment and a tootsie roll!? #knowmydirection #inkdoneandlove #RRTinkfreak read more

I wanted to take a moment to recommend Rabble Rouser Tattoo. I found them on the net when looking for "walk-in tattoos". I wanted to have a tattoo covered and hoped that they would be able to help. Met with West, what a pleasure, he helped me with my idea and ended up giving me a new tattoo and revamping the one I wanted covered too! I've since had a few more tattoos with West and cannot recommend him more highly. West has a very light touch and great line work. If you're looking for a first tattoo or someone that is experienced, fast, and has a very light touch I cannot recommend West at Rabble Rouser Tattoo more highly. Staff at RRT is also amazing! The other tattoo artists and staff are very friendly and provide excellent service. I love this place and it's my new "go-to" for tattoos in LA. read more

Best tattoo place I have been to in a while! Since they answered the phone I felt welcomed. I was a walk in and I was treated as if I had an appointment.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Rabble Rouser and Luis!! Today is the day after my 18th birthday and I decided I wanted a butterfly tattoo ASAP. I called Rabble Rouser to check if they took walk-ins and the man on the phone was super helpful in helping me figure out what time to come in and what to expect. Once I was there, I met my wonderful artist, Luis. Luis had me describe and show him examples of what I wanted. He then went to the back of the shop and returned 20 minutes later with a drawing that was exactly what I had envisioned. Luis then sanitized and set up his station. Everything in the shop was sanitary and I never felt worried of infection or cross contamination. Before I finally got on the table, I asked Luis a million questions about pain, placement, and safety. He answered all of them very patiently and made sure I was comfortable and sure with everything before he started. The tattooing experience itself was seamless. The pain was minimal and Luis was ready to let me take a break if I ever needed to. In the end, the ink took about 30 minutes and was absolutely perfect. It was honestly even better on my skin than in my head!! Luis then went over aftercare and answered a few more questions before sending me on my way. I could not be happier with my experience!!! I paid $150, if anyone is curious about pricing, and it was worth every penny. I attached two pictures of my tattoo as well as two examples I gave Luis. I'm literally awestruck at how perfect he got it!! read more

My tattoo artist, the young spunky Kenny made my first time experience a truly unforgettable one. Upon arrival I was a bit unsure of exactly how I wanted my tattoo to turn out, whether to get it colored or have it done in classical black(which i ended up doing). I was super nervous but Kenny was very patient with me and allowed me to make up my mind. I booked the latest appointment-- which was at 10:30 at night. Kenny had the energy and charisma to encourage me to get the tat--which was in honor of a grandparent. I am so happy with the result and think about it all the time; both the tattoo and the experience. Kenny is a kind kid, great conversationalist and and a talented and experienced tattoo artist. Best night ever that time in July of last year was. Thanks, Worcester read more

We happened upon Rabble Rouser while having dinner in the area and were immediately impressed by the interior of the shop itself. This is an incredibly well cared for space that feels both totally sterile and yet still warm and inviting. After looking through several books we landed on artist Alayna Magnan (not finding out until much later that she owns the shop and is somewhat of an ink celeb). Alayna's art is so crisp and clean, it was an immediate match. I needed to cover/upgrade an old tat on my hip, and add to one on my shoulder. Alayna took her time in listening to my needs, sketching things out, being sensitive to accuracy and my finickiness about the specifics. Because Alayna is so ridiculously dope at what she does - appointments are booked months out. We put down a deposit and scheduled for a few months out. (PS: "we" is me and my husband, he's scheduled for his in a couple of weeks) When I arrived for my appointment Alayna took time and diligence to sit and make every single detail perfect. She made me feel very comfortable to adjust tiny details and make it exactly how I wanted it, (So many ink artists push you towards what they want...) while still giving her expert advice so the tattoo would look as good as possible. The task was to do two small-ish tats in one sitting. One on my hip and the other on my shoulder. Alayna was careful, precise, and yet executed with expediency. Both tats were done in under 2 hours. After we were finished Alayna walked me through aftercare very thoroughly and I felt confident I would be able to do what was asked (her aftercare is next level future shit) More importantly than all of these logistic details that went so well, is that the ink itself looks so good it makes me laugh out loud. These are the two most beautiful, artistic, realistic pieces of art I could imagine for my body. I am over the moon with what she did and how it looks. I cannot wait to come up with another reason to get a tat from Alayna or from Rabble Rouser in general. This shop is legit, the artists are on point, and the experience is top-notch. The bar is set very high from now on. Cheers Alayna! Thanks Rabble Rouser. read more
