I just got an amazing tattoo from Howard - he's a real gifted artist, and a true professional. He enticed me with a great art deposit of $45, did the design to a 'T' then worked with my finicky schedule to be accommodating and efficient. His shop is clean and comforting with neat artwork all over the walls. He quoted a very fair price, and stuck to it. After 90 minutes, the end product of a tattoo I've dreamt years of getting was seriously worth the time and money. I would highly recommend T-Man Tattoo to anyone exploring inking for the first time. Thank you Howard - Keep making art. read more

I came in to get matching tattoos with a friend. Our artist overbooked himself and rushed quickly through our tattoos. We didn't have time to consider different placements for the design we wanted, and because he was so rushed for time, we both have had to go back and get ours fixed. I won't go back. read more

Howard is the man behind my "da mihi basia millie, mea ......" side of the foot tattoo and I LOVE it!!!! Sure, perhaps I could have left my sons dads name off of the end, but hey - that's life! Everyone seems to love this tattoo of mine and they always ask what it says. I tell them it says "kiss me with a million kisses" and I stop right there and never let them get close enough to see whose name is after "my" mea :) Although I am proud of every inch of it. I walked into the shop Howard was at prior to this one here in Studio City (several years ago) and he was very helpful and gave me exactly what I wanted. I've been happy with it since day 1. Now that I'm ready to be selfish and stop donating blood for 12 months, it's time I pay him another visit for my 6th tattoo - a side piece I've been wanting forever! I'll update again after I get it. read more

I was very nervous about getting a tattoo, I researched many places before I found Howard, through yelp. I was impressed by his reviews and made an appointment. I had three tattoos done by him. Howard was adept at visioning exactly what I wanted for a tattoo, as I explained it to him. I was marveled at his artistry. He was proficient and paid much attention to detail. I have another appointment this week. I'm very pleased and looking forward to getting many more. The shop is very clean and sanitary. I felt right at home when I first arrived.

My birthday is rapidly approaching and I needed to get a tattoo to commemorate the occasion. After I bit of research I came across T-Man...and I am so glad I did. I came in with an solid idea, but knew I wanted to expand upon it. Howard took one look, gave some suggestions and we were underway. During the session he was great conversation and had a few minor tweaks he made to the design along the way. This was by no means my first tattoo, but I've never worked with a tattoo artist so dedicated to their craft that were continually thinking about refining as they went along. So many stop thinking about the artistry the moment needle touches skin. The precision of the design is outstanding, and It's gonna look amazing (I will be posting a photo once the redness goes down) Thank you Howard for an amazing experience, and seriously...check this place out...I know I'll be coming back soon. read more

These guys are great! I went here to get my ears re-pierced, as they had closed up years ago. The place was very clean and sterile. Jared worked with me and was nothing but helpful. He changed his gloves often and used a different sterile needle for each ear. I also had a belly-button piercing that was starting to close up (I had lost my ring and just never got around to buying another) that Jared helped me with. I bought another ring from him, and he used his tools to help open it up a little and put the ring in. And not only were the guys here professional, they were also fun to talk to and kept my mind at ease. I would recommend this place to all my friends. read more

Howard is a true artist!! My entire life I've been saying I would never get a tattoo but a few weeks ago after watching my close friend get her first by Howard I started thinking about it. I started looking at pictures to get ideas and decided to go for it on my birthday. His place is totally up to health department standards and he made me feel so comfortable. I brought in a picture and then he put his own spin on it. The final artwork is beautiful and although I'm still in shock that I did it, I absolutely love it! The pain was next to nothing. Honestly I just sat there and relaxed for 90 minutes and felt maybe a few twinges. Even if you're not looking to get a tattoo it's worth it to pay a visit and see the amazing artwork he does. His political drawings hanging on the walls are just brilliant!! read more

I especially wanted to shout out Hernan for my navel piercing. He did a phenomenal job. He was communicative and completely open to my requests. It's been about three days now, and I'm honestly surprised by how little soreness and discomfort I've had. I'm a bigger guy with a stomach, so I was a little concerned about how a navel piercing would feel, especially since it's a high movement area. But after the first 12 hours, there is very little soreness, and I'm already noticing less discomfort when I move. I think a lot of that has to do with Hernan's skill and attention to placement. He checked the placement while I was standing, sitting, and laying down to see how my stomach and navel moved and sat in each position. That level of care really stood out to me and should be standard but isn't everywhere which is why I always go here. For any plus size person wondering if a navel piercing is possible or will heal well, it definitely will! It's more about your individual anatomy than your size, but having a knowledgeable piercer who understands anatomy of all sizes makes a huge difference. Everyone here is great. I just wanted to give Hernan a special shoutout for this recent work. Thanks!

I got a daith, vertical helix, and lobe. I completely trusted her judgement and I'm glad I did. She made the experience fast and painless. Then once I contacted her through IG for some last minute questions, she responded less than two days later. Overall, glad I came here for the event and looking forward to another piercing by Jassy once these heal. Also glad I saved some money by going during this special event, because they quoted me $75 for a helix and $85 for a daith, originally.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING!…read more I am genuinely horrified by my experience today. I deserve compensation for this. This is not what I expected. Madi is a nice girl but please avoid her as an artist. I do not recommend this place. I'm still crying I just didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't like it. Update: I contacted both Madi the artist and the shop directly to request a refund, and so far I have received no response regarding my refund request. It is extremely unprofessional to message me saying what she said. Just because I approved the design does NOT mean it was tattooed the way it should have been. My issue is not design. The fact that the proposed solution is for the same person who did a tattoo I'm unhappy with to simply make more permanent changes to it is honestly unbelievable. A tattoo is not something you can just erase when the work isn't done properly. I trusted this person with my skin, paid for a professional service, and have to consider laser removal. Please do not come to this place they do not hire professionals.

T-Man Tattoos is the place to get tattoos in the Valley, and Hollywood. Howard always has a great positive energy, he's a great artist to begin with, and would always give professional feedback and guide you to your own special tattoo. It all comes from love with him, never pressure, and great customer service. I really enjoy to visit his great parole, see some new tattoos he just did, or his art, and plan on my next tattoo. Though I'm not into piercing he has it going on there as well. just cause its kinda sometimes cool, we do live in LA after-all, from time to time you can see/meet some celebs that come to get their tattoos at his shop. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! I went to T-Man Tattoo about a year ago because it came highly recommended and for my first tattoo all I wanted was the best, and that is exactly what I got! Howie is an amazing artist and an awesome person. After talking him up to my boyfriend, Howie was the only artist we wanted to see for our tattoos when he came home on leave. Howie was very accommodating and patient. Since I am a very indecisive person, he drew up two different possibilities for me and let me decide. He also has a very light hand, which is awesome because I am such a big baby. I will definitely be going to Howie for all of my tattoos in the future. read more

Howard s' ability to imprint your request far exceeds all expectations when completed.I have three tattoo's done by Howard and not a day goes by without someone inquiring about the work I had done!

Howard at T-Man Tattoos is the ultimate artist. He has done 3 tattoos for my daughter and two for myself. One was a cover of a name and it came out so beautiful. All his work is really creative and beautiful. Anyone in the greater Los Angeles area needs to come and get tatted by the T-Man! Also my daughter got a Tragus piercing and it was done so gently and with great precision. I REALLY recommend this shop for everything! read more

Known this wonderful artist for 30 years. One of the most warm and creative souls I've ever met. Remember him painting his car out in front of the mansion - a beautiful all-over leopard print. Went to see him for an important tattoo. His studio is a haven. His art is so detailed and beautiful. His resume is extended. Now I want to go back for more. Really great experience. And my tat is exactly what I wanted. Thanks bro... read more

Howard was so cool and friendly. I thought perhaps I'd be laughed at as I wanted a small, girly tattoo but I didn't feel embarrassed at all. He didn't pressure me but just let me think about what I wanted. He fit me on the spot! I was so nervous but he was excellent and made me feel very comfortable. The job is very professional and I would certainly go back if I decided to get another tattoo! read more

Amazing experience!! Came down to get my First tattoo in memory of my Father, and ended up getting two of them!! My brother also got an amazingly detailed calf tattoo. Howard is incredibly talented and creative. We are going back today to purchase a few of his one of a kind hand drawn posters. Already planning our next trip back. Thank you Howard for the fun and very professional experience. read more

Once I got into the shop, Howard immediately started working with me on which tattoos were in my price range and how long it would take to complete. I didn't have to wait at all and we started right away. This was my first tattoo so he was very comforting and did a fantastic job overall. I would definitely come back to this shop for any future tattoos I'm considering. read more

Cannot speak enough praise about her, which reflects highly on the parlor as a whole. I can't wait to get more work done here. read more

I got one of my favorite tattoos here…read more However, when I called to get another tattoo quoted, they said they wouldn't tattoo me. I wanted simple scribe on my neck and apparently traditional tattoo artists only do visible tattoos if you have more... and I have five. Sure that's fine, but with that came a mini lecture about what I'm deciding to put on my body. Telling me to wait a week without asking how long this has been on my mind. It went into as far as telling to consider how I'm profiled in society because of a neck tattoo. I'm a Black Queer Man living in America. Although well intended, I don't need someone at the peek of the social totem pole telling me about being "profiled" in this country. Again, really don't have an issue with refusing to do the service. I know it was well intended. But I don't need a tone deaf conversation when I'm calling to get a quote on a tattoo.

Honestly, I have no words, the pic says enough. Thank you Noah, you captured my vision perfectly !read more

I was raised by my mother who has me and my brother, so i always saw us as the three points in a triangle. We group text every single day. We always make sure each other is safe before we go to bed. The Love is Deep. I was a walk in and the customer service was excellent. There was some really good looking guy who may work there too with a shaved head and lots of tattoos. Nice to have something to distract you from the pain. The studio itself is super artsy and dope. It was also very clean. I truly had a great experience getting my tattoo.

Kirk Alley has been tattooing me since 2011, and I don't want anyone else to tattoo me for as long…read moreas we both shall live. Truly. I have two major pieces from him: a full sleeve on my left arm and a black-and-white piece that begins on my lower right ribs and wraps behind to the left side of my lower back. The latter required some reworking of old tattoos, and Kirk executed flawlessly. He has my complete trust when it comes to tattooing. I don't think twice about him drawing on me. To state the obvious: Kirk is an incredible artist -- originally a painter recruited to become a tattooist -- who can execute on any style you wish with flying colors. That's rare in a world of specialists who are limited to one style. You will get a one-of-a-kind piece. Plus, Kirk's a pleasure to be around. It's nice to spend a couple of hours talking to him while he draws on me. I always look forward to visiting him, and I hope that can happen again soon.

After getting some work done here, my artist began messaging me and pursuing me in a romantic nature. I do not consider this professional behavior and is off-putting to female clientele. He desisted after I explained I was not interested; however, what happened next will ensure that I will never return to this shop. Since Joe had stopped contacting me, and I did appreciate his work, I decided to book another appointment. I am a recording artist and a director who is in town for the week contacted me to shoot a music video. I asked Joe for permission to shoot during my session. I asked several times for confirmation and he said it would not be a problem. I told the director and we made our plans. I arrived at the shop with a friend who wanted a piercing done. The director came shortly after. Everything was going fine until we started laying the stencil. I'm sure everyone here understands the value of placement. It can take a couple times. On the third attempt, I was told that "we only get a couple tries with this." I have about 8 other pieces from various tattoo artists, no one has ever acted like that. A tattoo is for life; you do it til you get it right. Then, when I realized part of the tattoo was actually missing, his attitude became even more curt and dismissive. I had given him the picture I wanted with instructions days before; the work should have been ready. He began complaining about the director's equipment and after a few minutes called the whole filming off. Unwilling to be tattooed by someone acting in such a manner, I called the whole appointment off. Joe wasted three people's time, include a professional contact, and then proceeded to text me after and say to never come back. The worst part of this, is that what I thought was going to be my new favorite tattoo shop, is now a spot with a bad vibe. And I drive by it on the reg. There are better tattoo shops in a snake pit. Go elsewhere.

Manny absolutely killed this Farvahar piece and got it done with ease! From the moment he texted me about the appointment to the shading of the tattoo I genuinely couldn't be happier with the process and the vibes of the entire shop as well.
