This spot is an LA Institution in tattoo, art, and history! Their work is top notch. Artists are talented, humble, and absolute badasses. The owner Sal is a true gem of mankind. The overall vibe is calm and electric. El Clasico will not disappoint.

I’ve been to LA on multiple occasions and couldn’t decide where and stumbled across El Clasico on the way to a bar and it was superb. Irene took her knowledge and really dialed in exactly what I was looking for. It’s apparent she really gives a shit about her work. I’m thankful for her patience and pulling a near perfect shaded script in less than an hour.

This was my 1st time ever in L.A. coming from San Antonio Texas. I met a artist from this location who invited me over to El Classico. I went the next day to visit to show love and respect. The atmosphere was welcoming and something special. I decided it was the right time and place for me to get a tattoo. I presented a sketch to Adrian Meza and he brought it life. Adrian is a genuine and respectful individual. All the artist are.
