I’ve met Jiro years ago when he was still in Hollywood and then he moved to open his own studio at Little Tokyo. He’s been tattooing me all these years. He designed and tattooed my sleeves and I’m ready for another one. Jiro is so creative and original. Every tattooist in this studio is very talented. These group of creatives are the best in the business!
I'm just an old guy getting ink during my midlife crisis. Suddenly at 50, I decided I needed tattoos, but such is life. My wife had previously gotten a couple of pieces here and highly recommended Onizuka so I knew I would be in good hands. I had the pleasure of connecting with Chuy for my first piece; my sons' middle names done in Canterbury Old English. Chuy is a talented artist and an absolute perfectionist. It also doesn't hurt that he's just a genuinely awesome dude. As soon as the first piece healed, I called to make another appointment to get my second piece, my family crest. I absolutely love both pieces done by Chuy and will be getting my next tat done by him in the near future. Mark who does the scheduling and works the front desk, is also a super chill and funny dude. Mark even texted me shortly after my first piece to check up on me and make sure things were healing well. How great is that? I've also interacted with some of the other artists, and everyone is super friendly and makes you feel at home. If you're interested in having work done here, expect a lead time of about 1-3 months depending on the artist. They are apparently quite busy and for good reason. Thanks gentlemen! I'll be back.
Fantastic shop. Studio setup makes you feel right at home and the traditional Japanese work is superb. All 3 artists are excellent at what they do, and each has their own unique style of Japanese imagery.
