This is a safe place for women to get a late night tattoo (or any time). The owner is a great guy and the standards for high quality work and respect for their clients are set high. I've had multiple tattoos by Tyler and I would recommend him to anyone. read more

I will first say that my tattoo came out very well despite the poor customer service and rudeness I faced. These guys know what they're doing, but the bedside manner needs a revamp. When looking into the tattoo I was considering getting I asked the artist for a price estimate. He gave me an incredibly vague answer and left me uneasy to ask further. As though I was bothering him. I then picked a tattoo option from one of their designs and he printed stencils. He proceeds to tell me because I "didn't ask about the price for this one" it will be $150 instead of $200. So keep that in mind if you brave this place. I then went to stand on a box for my tattoo to be stenciled and was rudely corrected on my posture. It wasn't "can you please put your hands to the side" it was pure annoyance that I wasn't perfectly positioned with minimal instruction. The tattoo is on my ankle and when I went to put my foot up on the table while wearing my shoe I was no joke SCREAMED AT. I asked previously about my shoe and thought the answer was it was ok, especially since the table was wrapped for sanitary purposes. Once I set up at the table he began to tattoo me. I was scolded for moving (I understand the frustration) but it was involuntary. Mind you as an ankle tattoo this one was going to be painful and I was aware. The other artist working even defended me because it wasn't intentional. I was repeatedly told I would "fuck up your tattoo" and "it's hard to make straight lines when you move." Like no shit, but also there was no communication on how long, what he was doing, etc. so I was just doing my best. I repeatedly I apologized and was deep breathing and doing everything in my power to stay still and make it easy. I swear he just wanted to torture me. It was almost pathetic. Anyways, all this to say the tattoo came out great but the experience was horrendous. Really upsetting and think this place could do a lot better if they were kinder to their customers. Update per Rocco's reply': Not asking to be coddled, just to be treated with human decency. Have had plenty of pleasant tattoo experiences elsewhere. Your response speaks for itself. Also he wasn't even in the room when I was snapped at... read more

Both the guys were very professional and kind. My friend and I decided at the last minute we wanted tattoos. The staff verified what we wanted, were thorough enough n making sure our requests were met and did an amazing job. Stop in to see Tyler, if want a great tattoo read more

I came here the other night at 1 AM for my late night appointment with Tolen. He was on time and ready to do the stencils which we finished shortly and we started with the tattoo. I found him on social media and I am local in the area of LA and I was impressed with his work online. I am so glad that I finally came to meet him and get two tattoos done. There was two other guys there as well and they were nice too. It is an amazing location and even better plus that Hustler is next door and a gas station in case of late night snacks or drinks if needed. Tolen finished 2 smaller sized tattoos in about an hour total I was there. I will fersure be coming back for more. Thank you so much to Tolen and Tattoo Mania. See you soon. read more

Great place ! Called in around 5pm. Was out by 8:00pm with a great 6"x6" B&W Rib piece. Tolen was light handed & extremely patient with breaks. Pricing is extremely Fair & the place is clean. Highly recommended! read more

I got my very first tattoo here and Tolen was my artist. He made me feel very calm and assured throughout the entire time. He took this necklace that I owned and adjusted the drawing to my liking several times, and had the utmost patience. He's very reasonably priced, and does a variety of styles! If you happen to be in West Hollywood and are looking to get a tattoo prematurely or spontaneously, just know you'll be in great hands. read more

Absolutely ridiculous. I ubered 55 minutes to come here because they were listed as open, and when I arrived, they were closed. I wasted my money and time and whole Sunday afternoon. If you are closing your shop outside of your regular business hours at least update the public so they don't waste their time. read more

I really wanted to utilize this tattoo place and the artist by the name of Ruben (Roob) to complete a couple of projects, but unfortunately you can't put all your eggs into one basket. I stumbled across Tattoo Mania one late night leaving work and decided to get a word done for about $200. Roob at the time of me being a walk-in, was accommodating and nice on the hands. There weren't much people around the time I walked in. I ended up exchanging numbers and reaching out to him with a couple projects I wanted to complete from the time I sent the message until the end of the year. I get off work late and thought not only was it perfect that the shop is open late, but having a tattoo artist who work late as well is a benefit. I booked an appointment with Ruben and paid a $50 deposit. I was the one who initiated paying a deposit to solidify rebooking because our initial appointment I ended up cancelling due to being sick, so I said "hey Ruben, I won't make it tonight but would love to rebook. Can I send a deposit". On the night of my appointment I confirmed hours and even minutes before to ensure that we are good. When I arrived at the shop it was 2am and Ruben was working on WALK-IN CLIENTS knowing that he as an appointment for 2am. I allowed him to finish the person but then he took advantage of my time and did another walk-in client as me, his appointment, sat there. I eventually dozed off and when I came to my senses it was 2:45am and he was working on someone. I reached out to him the following day letting him know that I was truly disappointed in his service and how he handled me being an appointment and client. He tried to offer another scheduling that DOES NOT GO WITH MY SCHEDULE which is why I made an appointment that accommodated my schedule and went with his. After this type of treatment, of course I would not want to work with someone who didn't honor me as an appointment and wasted my time. Furthermore, I went to ask for my deposit back because I no longer want to move forward with him and the job. he told me my deposit is non-refundable. Given the nature of the circumstance, a good reputable & professional artist/business/entrepreneur, would refund the money because they know they messed up. However, not in this case. Not only did he not do his job, wasted my time, and put a bad taste in my mouth professionally, he doesn't want to give me my deposit back and all of this fell on him. Why did it fall on him? Because he took walk-in clients purposely knowing he had an appointment. I was on time and waited almost 2hrs, he didn't do a job for me, and he took my money for doing nothing. This is unethical, unprofessional, and unacceptable. Furthermore, most non-refundable deposits fall on the client if they show up late, no-call no show, or fail to respect anything of that nature. Now, Ruben and I are going back and forth over $50 deposit that I VOLUNTARILY SENT OVER as respect to his time and my dedication to make the appointment. My phone broke but I will be uploading receipts of our conversation and so forth. A simple rectifying of "I apologize for taking walk-ins and here's your $50 deposit back and I hope that you do consider me for any future tattoos" but NO. He lacks accountability, time management, respect of clients and most importantly CUSTOMER SERVICE. Standby for complete receipts--ones uploaded are the aftermath leading to this review. read more

Came here with my friend on a random night when all tattoo shops near me were closed. Parking was easy, even though it's on a busy street. Everyone was friendly enough. Prices are a bit high, but the work we got was good. The reason for the 2 stars is because I came back for a similar tattoo near the same spot I got the previous one. Not that I expected to be remembered after a month, but I thought he would recognize his work. He didn't. When I was asked how much he charged, I told him $120/$150 (I confirmed with my friend later it was $150, plus I tipped) and he told me he must've made a lot of money that night and gave me a discount because that is a $200 job. I left and went to another tattoo shop and was charged a bit less, but tipped so it came out to be the same price. I wasn't looking for a hand-out from this place by any means, but it was the principle. RIP Grandpa and Grandma read more

Walked in on 7/21/24 with an idea and Tolen made it happen. Service was impeccable and the quality of the art was amazing. Just wanted something simple with no reference photos or sketches and Tolen helped me bring it to life. I got a walkie talkie with the phrase "Wella Over" emitting from the speaker. My son's bday is 10/4 and he calls his sister "Wella", so it has some meaning behind it. I'm from Massachusetts, and was out visiting my buddy and walked-in on a whim. I highly recommend Tattoo Mania and Tolen to anyone looking for a tattoo and an awesome experience. read more

OK so I went up there and they charge me 200 to put this trash behind my ear. Look how he got to word "head" larger And more clear than the rest of the words. You can't even tell that the word "clouds" is the word "clouds". I just got through with my tattoo removal consultation she talking about it's gonna be 110 Per session and eight session. When he was making the print out for the tattoo the words got smeared he didn't even try to trace the words he just wrote in his raggedy ass hand writing. I cried for nine days because I have been dreaming about getting this since I was 16. And this is my very first tattoo. They tried to sub me in permanent ink, on my actual body. Smh read more

I've been going to tattoo mania for a decade. It's my favorite shop for many reasons. Rocco treats you Like you're family, all the tattoo artists have always been amazing! And I also get My tooth bling from Michelle who's the sweetest! I walked in last night and got a tiny cat tattoo and Julian was my artist. He was professional, efficient and drew the most perfect tattoo in a timely Manner. The shop is always clean and welcoming, I recommend tattoo mania to everyone!

In my opinion i wanted to love this place. I really did. First time I came in for a lower lip tattoo and they said it wasn't sanitary. Yet not one person was wearing a mask. Fine. We all have bad nights. For some of us, getting ink is therapy. For this place it's a chance for their staff to snicker and mock you. They are condescending, rude, and inconsiderate. I don't want to know what their hygiene standards are. Maybe it's a blessing I've never gotten 24 of my tattoos there but I will not try again. Rude people. Poor sanitation and a total lack of consideration of what ink stands for. Edit: Yes I am the "drunk" girl who could come home and write perfectly coherent and cohesive sentences. Last night was not my first experience with this shop and the first time there was not a drop of alcohol in my blood. Did I use the restroom and lock the door? Yes. What egregious behavior, locking the door while using the restroom. My most sincere apologies that my digestive system is readjusting poorly after being abroad for almost a month. And I do apologize for using the restroom to momentarily cry while readjusting to the cold LA dispositions permeating from this shop. read more

Today was my second visit to this shop and I'm still just as impressed as before! I had the same artist, Jessica, who tattooed exactly what I wanted flawlessly! Shop owner, Rocco, was great to talk to, and Ruben took care of my friend's tattoo request, as well. I will definitely keep coming back. read more

This has nothing to do with the tattoo. I was quoted a price. I saw that price before I entered my ATM pin. I determined the tip based on the price I saw. I honestly didn't know you tip for a tattoo. I was asked if I needed a receipt. And I said no. BIG MISTAKE. I was charged more. I called, and I spoke to a manager and said they would figure this out. So the one who charged me called. And said that my husband agreed to a different price. But the way that it was drawn out with color is how it got tattooed, and I asked how much. Since it was my treat. I saw what was quoted on the credit card machine, and the tip would have been way more than what I put if I knew it was more. So i was surprised when i looked at my bank statement. But what can I do? My word against them, and I didn't get a receipt. I definitely know what I saw before I put in my pin. I guess that's what I get for not tipping enough. read more

I heard that this place was good so I DM'd @savage7x to see if he had any openings and to see how much he would charge for a simple sun on my arm. He was extremely rude and just responded "lol" and that he didn't want to do it because "anyone can do something like that". I know its probably not the most thrilling project for an artist but I'm willing to pay $150 for some simple lines that would only take like 20 minutes. And if you're not interested, you don't have to be a dick about it. Also - I don't know if you've ever seen simple tattoos gone wrong but I certainly have which is why I'm not having "just anyone" do it. It kind of concerns me that this guy thinks just anyone can do small, intricate line work. Sucks that this guy was an ass but I found another shop nearby with talented artists that were more than happy to take me and appreciative of my business! :) read more

Just came back to say this experience is worse than I thought. The pictures that I showed the artist was to be done be a thin line tattoo artist.

You guys really are the worst type of humans. Please see the original review. read more

Had the best experience today with Dustin. He took my idea and ran with it. I'm so ecstatic with the final Result and can't wait to show it off when it heals. He gave me good feedback on placement and what he thought would stand out more. This tattoo has a deep meaning for me and he did an amazing job helping me execute it in a way that didn't seem cheesy or unoriginal. Please be aware that was literally minutes after having it done so some bleeding it still happening. (And yes huge Kacey Musgraves fan haha) read more

Unprofessional! There's an artist called Albert Sgambati who accepted to work on the improperly done outline and a tribal star I had on my arm and he told me he would be able to cover it up and make it look great. After 3 sessions and charging me $780 my arm looks horrible and I'm basically a laughing stock. Albert asked me to leave the price on the release form blank and when I went to the shop to complain to the manager, Rocco treated me like I'm the bad guy here and told me I didn't pay $780 dollars and they don't offer free tattoos!!!! .He also told me that there's another artist who can fix the mess and I have to pay him again (He can give me a deal) to fix Albert's mess since they're independent contractors. I uploaded all the pictures and this was a really bad experience for me. They've added some reviews after mine to sugercoat it but unfortunately Albert shouldn't have accepted to work on my tattoo since it wasn't in his department (Cover up). Update: To Albert: McDonald's always hiring. Please do everybody a favor and go work at McDonald's, you have no business in tattooing. To Rocco: You need to learn how to talk to your customers. That truck drivers mouth's not gonna take you anywhere. read more

I got two tattoos by Shawn a few days ago, and it was by far my best tattoo experience. I gave him a general idea of what I wanted over text, and when I got there a couple of hours later he, already had an amazing design. I didn't even need to make any corrections. One tattoo took up most of one side of my forearm, and the other was a smaller design. Both looked sharp and had great detail. The hole thing took a little less than two hours, I was shocked at how fast and good he was. Definitely planning my next 17 tattoos with Shawn. read more
