He really takes the time to listen to exactly what you want and makes sure you’re comfortable throughout the entire process.

“I got an industrial here and it was the best piercing experience! Frank answered all of my questions about the process and whether this piercing was right for me. The piercing itself was quick and easy. When I told him about past healing problems in cartilage piercings, he gave me great advice that’s led to absolutely no problems during healing- no bumps, no irritation, and hardly any swelling.

I’ll definitely be going back here and I recommend it to everyone looking for a piercer!“

“Dave and his team are the best! Can’t say enough great things about him and all the staff! And Rocky is the cutest shop dog ever! 🧡“

“Loved every bit of my experience with Mateo Studios. I reached out with my idea and they matched me with Emily who does amazing photorealism. I happen to come in on days when the studio was empty so it was a very chill experience. The studio is clean and has a really dope vibe to it.

Emily was very patient in making sure I got the perfect look for my tat. She took extra steps to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole session. I was blown away by how realistic the tat came out. She’s super chill, professional, and has some crazy good talent. Can’t wait to book her for my next idea, Highly recommend!“

“Ric is the best!! He worked with my husband & I on sizing and placements to align with our different styles. He did such an impeccable job on both!“

“I’m very happy with my visit to the studio. I was reworking an old tattoo, and the result exceeded my expectations. The artist’s professionalism really stood out — every step was done with care and confidence. We had a great conversation during the session, and the time just flew by. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable. The work was done to a high standard and looks even better than I imagined.“

“Tyler always makes sure the customer comes first. He takes time to ensure the tattoo you want is the tattoo you get. His shop is clean and orderly. He comes with years of experience and I would recommend him if someone was looking for the simplest design or the most complex.“

“Honored that Ricky gave me my first tattoo in LA! I called the shop on a Saturday because my friend was in town and we wanted matching tattoos, and Ricky was able to see us the next day before she left :) great communication, super kind, and we are in love with our fine line hibiscus flowers 🥲 can’t wait to come back and would recommend Ricky to anyone I know.“

“Absolutely amazing. Zara is a great artist and in less than 10 minutes she completed a completely flawless tattoo with incredibly sharp and clean lines. The tattoo has healed very well with the lines intact, and I’ve not felt its presence at all since I got it, which is a testament to the skilled artist. Highly recommend!“

“I want to express my true appreciation and excitement of your beautiful job in words! thank you again for the absolute professional tatoo you have done.
To all who’s reading my review, I would say he’s really experienced for what he’s doing, extremely friendly and patiently listen and care what exactly each individual is asking for!
Can’t be thankful enough for taking the time to work with me and for creating the drawing ahead of time. I absolutely love it and I truly could not be any happier with the result.
I would definitely recommend this tattoo shop for anyone interested in professional job on their tattoo.“

“First time tattoo experience was great one! Justine was everything I needed as a first timer. I, loved the atmosphere. It was so relaxed unlike the hundreds of shops I walked into. From the start I was welcomed. Everything was clean and so private which is a great plus. I loved the colors options, and the fact that the ink is vegan is even better! Less toxins and chemicals. I love my tattoo. She did great job. I will be back if I am in the market to get another one. Thank you. I will recommend.“

“I tried Lindsey because of her amazing reviews and I’m so glad I did. She’s a perfectionist, with a meticulous and mathematical eye for brows. She talked me through every step and consulted me throughout the lamination process so i could have a say on their shape and fullness. She’s also warm and kind, honest and trusting, and brilliant and funny. Go. Go to her. Gooooo!“

“I got a tattoo in the beginning of June with Hailee, loved it! She did a great job and the price was not bad at all. Will definitely come back.“

“Seriously, Tim is the best!
I was referred by another devoted client who also loves his work.
Tim's water colors are amazing, but he's also a great talent for fine line work.
I keep going back to see him to add another leaf or flower and he is always soooo sweet about working with me on the overall look.
We started with grey ink and white highlights.
We began a couple of years ago and it still holds up beautifully.
I don't know if this is the normal way about it, but we usually just review a few sketches on paper and on my arm before settling on what works.
Then I just leave him to it!
Also, Tim is just fun to chat with about all things art from paintings, to music to local culture and food.
He's just the best.“

“2 years ago | lost my breasts to cancer. I never wanted them to begin with but 1 am thankful to still be alive. I wanted a chance to have some normalcy and to be more comfortable in my skin. I found a gifted tattoo artist who is experienced in helping other cancer survivors or to the transgender community. Nora made me feel comfortable and that I matter. Thank you @nora_grace_tattoo for taking me on.“

“My leg sleeve and arm sleeve done by Chrome. Definitely one of the best artist out there. Only one I trust with my skin“
