“Honestly I cannot give enough stars to Dillon at Charnel House Tattoo! Not only is he so talented, he creates such an inviting environment for his clients.

He managed to accomplish a complete over haul on an old tattoo that had lost all of its luster by doing a complete cover up for me! See picture below. I could not have imagined how great the new tattoo has turned out.

We’re already discussing our next tattoo project!“

“First of all, the vibes: immaculate. Lantz is straight up the most awesome and chill dude I've had the privilege of meeting. Such an easy and relaxed process from start to finish. He's quick and super, super knowledgeable about everything. I love the piece he did for me and the care and consideration he put into every detail: shape, size, angle, placement. What a lovely experience from a lovely human being. Thank you!“

“This was my first time getting a tattoo. My experience was pleasant and professional. I didn't know what to expect.“

“Kal Morrison was my tattoo artist. He was absolutely incredible, professional, and kind. Will definitely come back again and even bring my mom next time! 10/10“

“Endry at this shop has tattooed my entire right arm at this point. I have always felt welcomed and well taken care of whenever I visit. Additionally, the music is always great.“

“Sasha was an excellent tattoo artist to work with. She was able to help us refine our vision as well as offer her expertise when needed about placement, size, design etc. Her realistic and hyper detailed style is impressive and my tattoos are healing great!“

“This will be my 2nd session with Old Tradition Tattoo in Hollywood. This time I wanted to make it especial. David Gilmour was my next choice,I provided many pictures to frosty and I had him work with me on my final choice. I am so satisfied and I'll say this many of my musician love it and will soon be stopping by. Frosty/Chris/Sam/Joel/Sam/April YOU ARE ALL AWESOME“

“Such an amazing experience! The shop felt super welcoming from the moment I walked in—clean, creative, and comfortable. Castello really listened to what I wanted, paid incredible attention to detail, and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. The tattoo came out even better than I imagined. Can’t recommend them enough!“

“I have been coming to Shabang for over a year. Karen is an incredible lash artist and recently we tried the lower lash extension with my usual hybrid classic and the results were phenomenal! My set lasts for weeks and I’ve never had any irritation or early fall off. Can’t wait to see her again (hopefully this week) the studio is super cute, everything is clean and hygienic which is really important for me also being in healthcare! Thanks Karen you are a “GEM”.“

“I got the sickest pomegranate stamp/wood carving-like tat by Eli! Everyone was so sweet and welcoming. I get so many compliments about on my tat :)“

“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!“

“Unbelievable incredible work by Horimaki, worth every single penny. I'd had this tattoo for 17 years, and it was a difficult job due to the size, shape, and additional scarring from stretch marks. Maki was thorough and patient, and her work is brilliant. We collaborated on the design, as I came in unsure of what exactly I wanted, but knew there were indigenous images of serpents that had been calling to me. My desire was essential some kind of a snake, with a feminine bent to it, and she recommended the Japanese snake and peony design. Two sessions, 7.5 hours later, and we had the perfect tattoo. Though it was incredibly painful (even with numbing creme), it was so so worth it. The biggest compliment I get is from the women in my life who are absolutely terrified of snakes — they have all looked at the tattoo in awe because Maki made it so gorgeous.

Cover-ups tend to have both a physical and emotional/spiritual meaning and Maki was able to hold and respect all that meaning while doing an amazing job. And the shop/atmosphere is absolutely beautiful; I enjoyed taking breaks in the bathroom, and using the essential oils to soothe me. Maki is an incredible artist and genuine human being. Her team, including Nico, is made up of supportive, lovely people with the exact kind of energy you want in a space like this. I am so glad I connected with them all for this experience. 10/10!!!

“Great and professional staff that cater to the exact piece of art you can imagine. Shay did a fantastic job and I 100% recommend!!!“

“Nina was incredible: extremely patient with me as this was my first tattoo. Absolutely beautiful art. Walked out of the studio overfilled with joy. Such a sweet soul who takes great pride in her work. She’s very light handed and the line work was precise. 10/10 (pics are 4 days after)“

“I have many tattoos by many artists, but I love coming to the Monna Lissa studio! I have been here three times now and have had an incredible experience every time. Pasha is my (superb) artist, but they have many talented artists and styles to choose from. The manager makes sure your experience is amazing. The aesthetic is off the charts. The atmosphere is very chill. I highly suggest getting your next tattoo here, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Adam tattooed me a ladyhead and I’m so stoked about it. It was such a blast to get tattooed at Dark Horse that is imo a place where good tattoos are made“

“I got a script tattoo from Ariane, and came away really excited about the results! These lines are CRISP and STRAIGHT, and I cannot stop looking at it! She is incredibly diligent, gentle, and committed to ensuring the placement and design align with the vision you bring to your appointment. Ariane checked in with me throughout my visit to make sure I was sitting comfortably, and the overall vibe was warm and inviting. Cannot recommend her enough!“

“Amazing! My friend and I were able to do a walk-in for a fine line tattoo as a way to end my 30s. Studio is clean, friendly, and definitely worth a trip.“

“Love love love this shop! Fair pricing, all the women are amazing and it was so quick. I brought my sister for her first tattoo freshly 18 and I’m so glad this was the experience she got. Will totally be back!“

“It was an incredible experience! I had my first piercing there and the staff were very patient with me throughout the whole process.“

“I got a tattoo done here before by Spooky and he did excellent work. Then I referred my friend who wanted to get some piercings and this is what she had to say after making a visit a couple days ago (adding her review with mine since she is having difficulty posting a review through her own Google account): It was my first time at Atomic Tattoo & Piercing in Hollywood and I will be back in the future. Everyone was so friendly and the environment was welcoming. Even over the phone they were so kind and helpful. Their selection of jewelry is also fantastic. Ashot did my rook and conch last night and I love it. He made some adjustments given my anatomy but it was the smartest decision and it looks just like how I envisioned it nonetheless. His “bedside manner” so to speak is kind and humorous, I’d recommend him to anyone new or experienced in getting pierced. He informed me of aftercare and other tips to help them heal too and I’m just very thankful for the whole service“

“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.“

“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.“
