    @Chonny562.tattoo is a master when it comes to tattoos and design. He nails it every time and makes the process effortless. Studio is super clean and great vibes all around. I made another appointment right away and can't wait to admire my ink for years to come.

    1st time getting a tattoo and AB made it absolutely memorable! Wifey got one too and Rae hit it on the head with the piece! Nice lines and color work. Very clean work from both artists! The spot is clutter free and the artists are all hard at work puttin smiles on people's faces. Nice to be around good people and listening to them all supporting each other in the middle of a session. Made the entire experience that much better. Much love to Sonamu n all the good peeps there!

    AB is phenomenal! She is super talented and the details that she was able to do is crazy. I got lots of compliments on my tattoo. She's very patient and very professional. Im trying to slowly build a whole sleeve and she is helping me with designing and being patient with me on the scheduling. Everyone else at this studio is also very talented. You should definitely check out their instagram accounts to look at their works!

    I was out in Koreatown just planning to get some food. Then I had a great experience when I parked next to the tattoo studio. My partner and I got our first tattoo together by Daniel. He was very nice, and a gentleman. He walked us through the process. He was very patient with the process of us choosing our tattoos in the moment. Daniel is a very good at what he does and he's definitely a great people person. The shop is very clean and designed very nicely. I would recommend contacting them and seeing if they can help you with your next tattoo. It is worth it! Thank you Daniel for the unforgettable experience. You are definitely the favorite.

    I've worked with AB (insta: abchoitattoo) twice now and apart from being an amazing artist, she's also very kind and personable. First piece she ever did on me was a chromy abstract flash piece on my outer calf. She worked super quickly and was pretty painless. It also healed really well, all the lines are crisp. The 2nd piece was a custom matching piece for me and my sister. She was very accommodating to my sister, who has a low pain tolerance. The studio itself is clean and spacious also all the other artists are nice too. Highly recommend AB if you're looking for a tattoo artist in Ktown.

    This place is amazing. I was recommended by a friend and is now my go to spot. Highly recommend asking for AB. Not only is the service here amazing, the art are *chefs kiss*. She's so fun to have a conversation with that you dont even notice the pain. She does the cleanest line art that I've seen and im so happy to have her art on my arm.

    Great shop highly recommend. There is a lot of amazing artists and also a lot of guest artists that flow through this shop. All the artists are very friendly and passionate. Their work is amazing and they also do custom work very well. The tattoo bed is also very comfortable for long sessions so check this place out.

    9 Tailed Fox (Kurama)

    I emailed the artist, AB, with a super simple drawing of the 9-Tailed Fox from the anime Naruto ... and they completely brought the design to life! I'm so happy with how the final product came out and the additions they suggested. Absolutely killer line work and I hardly felt a thing during the session. The studio itself is extremely clean too and everyone is so friendly. Rest assured you're in great hands at Sonamu Studio!

    I've been here multiple times between my sister and I and every time I am amazed by the tattoo. I've gotten my matching tattoo with my sister by AB who is an amazing artist and a very sweet person who makes amazing cookies. This place also brings visitor artists from Korea to tattoo in LA. The vibe is amazing everyone is so nice. Will for sure be coming here for all my tattoos.

    Such a cool studio with the cutest snacks (it helped the session so much)! I got two rib tattoos and a custom stomach tattoo from AB Choi and they are phenomenal! AB is always patient with me in helping create a piece, especially with the customizations! So friendly and professional, and got back to my messages super quickly. Overall great experience and will continue coming back here :)

    10/10 for fantastic customer service, super kind and knowledgeable staff and it's a very clean establishment. Big plus that they also accept walk-ins. I got my beautiful flower tattoo done by Daniel, and wow! He was a great choice to get tatted by, real cool dude, and a great artist (this was actually his design). The ambiance here is welcoming and everyone in there seemed to love what they do, which is always a big factor in whether or not I will be coming back; which for this place, I can safely say that I will be coming back here!

    My son got his first tattoo here last year and since then, many more pieces by AB. I went recently and had Rae fix a faded tattoo. It looks better than when I first got it. She also added a beautiful rose and will eventually be doing my entire sleeve . Everyone at the shop is really friendly. Clean, professional and awesome tattoo artists. Definitely recommend!

    Old tattoo that needed to be redone!

    Was recommended by a coworker and do not regret it! AB was very helpful since I was struggling to find someone to redo my old tattoo that I HATED! She was so thoughtful and friendly! You could tell how detailed it is after and it's so pretty! She's truly amazing !!! Everyone who works there is also very friendly! Please go check them out

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!

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!

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.
