I recently went here to get to get my earlobes pierced and had a great experience. John helped me out and thoroughly explained the process since these were my first piercings. He was super patient, carefully marked the sites, and made sure I was happy with the placement. He had a sure hand while doing the piercing and it was over quickly and smoothly. Afterward he went over the care recommendations, had examples of saline wound spray to show me what to look for, and even gave me a brochure he made himself for when people get these done for going home. Aside from the procedure itself, the shop was clean, well maintained, and had great decorations. Although the street it's on can be busy, there was plenty of parking lots near by. If I get anymore piercings in the future, I definitely wouldn't mind coming back. read more

I cannot recommend Brandon at Red Hot Tattoo enough! I got my first tattoo from him in 2009 at a different location and followed him when he took over Red Hot. All 7 of my tattoos are from him and I have taken my friends and family to get tattoos from him as well. He is sharp, honest, and can make your tattoo dreams come to life. He will let you know what designs will hold up best over time and he will work with you to make sure you love what you end up with. Everyone I know who has gotten a tattoo from him is so happy. I'm still as in love with my first tattoo as I am with my 7th tattoo. The shop is also great, clean, and its easy to find parking! read more

This review is long overdue. I had a great experience with John. I haven't had my ears pierced since I was a small child. He walked me through the whole process and made me feel very comfortable. After my ears healed he helped me order hand crafted pieces that I absolutely love. I can't wait to get my other ear done with him. read more

Johnathan is such an amazing piercer I have been getting my piercings done by him since 2017! He is very sweet, nice and caring. He will go over the whole procedure with you. Will show you all his equipment is sterile before using them on you. He is very clear about aftercare and will be honest with you about how long they will last and gives hints on helping them stay clean and prevent further injury. I will only trust him for my piercings and will follow wherever he goes. If you need someone you can trust, with amazing quality jewelry he is the person to contact. You won't be disappointed. read more

Johnathan is the only piercer I could ever recommend to anyone! I've followed him to Red Hot Tattoo from his last place of work, his work is amazing! His work space is clean and he is honest and helpful during piercings and with healing, and makes you feel comfortable through the entire process. He's done 6 piercings for me over years, and recently helped me with getting some new jewelry. I couldn't recommend him enough! read more

Brandon is awesome. His shop is very clean, his work is amazing and his prices are very fair. My friends have gotten work done by Brandon over many years and had referred me to him.

He is also really laid back and extremely professional. I highly recommend. read more

I remember when I was 17 I went into a random tattoo shop and I met John for the first time. I wanted to get my EARS pierced, I took my mom with me and my birth certificate and he told me no, to go back when I'm 18-_- Luckily I did and it was the best decision ever. He's done 14/19 of my piercings and all 4 of my tattoos. Obviously I trust the guy!! But how could I not, A MAN WITH MULTIPLE TALENTS!! The best tattoo of mine he's done was one for my deceased father, he took his writing from a letter, did some magic and now I have a tattoo in my dad's exact handwriting to always remember him by. Some of my fav piercings by him are my tongue, snakebites, vertical labret, industrial, I can go on. They've all healed wonderfully as I've been able to keep them in for years!! He's helped me stretch my ears and septum too, if you need help with that. Or say you just want your first piercing HE'S THE GUY!! He's super informative, takes his time, let's me change the placement a million times, and the piercings are always quick and painless! We still have lots of piercing and tattoo ideas for the future and I'm so excited!! I met him at a different shop and followed him to Red Hot Tattoo so I've been a loyal customer for several years now. I honestly like this shop way better. The vibes are great and the other artists there are super friendly!! read more

AHHH! It's so different watching someone get a tattoo done in real life versus watching tv shows! My friend wanted to get a small heart on her wrist and I had to tag along! I've always wanted to watch it get done in real life because I was into those tattoo war tv shows and they were always so interesting to me. Brandon was awesome! He was very thorough and explained the process and how to clean afterwards, even though my friend has 3 other tattoos. He was careful with all the tools he used and genuinely cared about us. It only took him a few minutes to draw the heart and on the first try too! My friend fell in love instantly. The whole process took probably 15 minutes or less (including the consultation) and she paid $100 for the tattoo. The place is so clean. I like that they have multiple tv screens and it was just the most chillest environment. Now I want one!!! read more

I was regularly client for this store before 5 year ago! And after Joe moved to San Diego. I didn't know any new tattoo artist. And one day I just stopped by and met Matt artist! He did such a great job on my arm two tattoos! He was very detailed...which I didn't expect! I am very happy and definitely will recommend to my friend!!! read more

Thank you Brandon! I went in with my sister for small matching symbols and the entire process was awesome! He was calm, clean, friendly, patient, and priced very fairly.

Thank you Brandon! read more

SO GLAD WE WENT HERE! I've got absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. Matt and Brandon were welcoming, funny, and willing to help us with any questions that we had. We didn't technically have an appointment, but we called ahead and they accommodated us as soon as we walked in the door! The process of sketching was quick and they produced designs with ease that matched just what we wanted. It was so quick and perfect, that my mom even jumped in with a last minute tattoo -- who woulda thought! Haha I did an infinity sign on my foot with Matt. It was my first tattoo so I had no idea what to expect. He was thorough in explanations of what it would be like and made me laugh the whole way through the process. I felt completely comfortable and he did an AMAZING job, it is exactly what I wanted!! The shop was clean, they were very hygienic, and the throw-back decorations made you feel right at home. I would HIGHLY recommend these guys for anything that you need. Friendly group, clean store, fair prices -- what more could you ask for?! THANKS AGAIN GUYS! read more

I recently had a cover-up done at Red Hot by Brandon and I couldn't be happier with the piece that he designed for me. I had a completely blown out tattoo on my hip and had really been struggling with the thought of covering it up because I was afraid I would make it worse. I didn't think I would ever get a tattoo again after that but Brandon reassured me that he could fix it and he really did a great job. And for those of you who have gotten a tattoo on your hip and your side you know how painful it is and he had a pretty light touch and made it bearable. I am so thankful to him for fixing this and I highly recommended Red Hot Tattoo. read more

I've been here about a handful of times and I have absolutely 0 complaints! Brandon is a really chill & friendly guy. The preparation is very clean and organized! He has a good eye and his opinions on the design/placement of the tattoo is valued tremendously. I've been to other tattoo artists and I can honestly say that none of their work compares to Brandon's fine detail. The #1 quality (in my opinion) is that his line work is exceptional! SOO smooth and clean.. it amazes me every time. His prices are very, very reasonable and so worth it.. just great another reason to why I keep coming back! I HIGHLY recommend you check him out! He's also very easy to contact and he gets back to you immediately! I attached some pics of a couple of the tattoos he's done on me to prove how clean his lines are! read more

Hunted around for a while to find a shop with availability and someone I clicked well with. Brandon absolutely crushed it in all categories. I've only had some other small tattoos and he was extremely helpful and communicative. On top of all that, his work was dialed, he cared about what he was doing, and listened to my opinion! Can't say enough good things. Whether you're ready for another tattoo or getting your first one, start HERE! read more

After searching for the right tattoo artist in LA, I decided on Red Hot Tattoo. Brandon is a true artist, clearly proficient in so many styles of tattoo. His eye as an artist and his perfectionism resulted in a really beautiful half leg sleeve. I've only had the linework done so far, but I couldn't be happier with the results. Brandon was great to talk to during the process (which had the added benefit of being a distraction from the pain lol). Can't wait to come back for the color! read more
