Best Tattoo Shops In Venice

“I needed help removing a piercing for a surgery, and they were able to quickly get me in and replaced it with a temporary.“

“Five Ball Tattoo is easily my favorite in LA. The decor and vibes are unmatched, and the team is incredibly professional and caring, making sure you leave stoked! I walked in for an ear piercing and Reese Salken @reese.of.flesh was able to accommodate me immediately. It was rad! He was so cool, patient, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. The whole experience was amazing, I’ll definitely be back and have told all my friends about this place!“

“Lisa is truly special. I’m incredibly grateful to have found her and wouldn’t trust my hair with anyone else. She goes above and beyond in a way that’s rare these days. I always leave feeling confident and happy, and I get so many compliments on my hair. She listens, cares, and consistently does beautiful work.“

“I have been in twice and the care and help has been excellent. No attitude, just personable talented people doing their thing. The music can get loud, so if thats not your thing, bring ear plugs.“

“Eitan CRUSHED my cover-up project. I called ahead and he was available for me to visit the shop immediately, same day.
He got me in the next morning for ink, and the final result looked better than our stencil. Not surprising though because Eitan was such a good communicator and so great at integrating the reference images I brought him.
The colors & shading came out great, and the owner Bobby sent me home with proper after-care materials. Amazing team, and the music was even great as I watched people walk beneath the sun along Main St.

Eitan asked me to return after 3 weeks of healing for several hours of additional coloring and shading. Totally reasonable pricing; this was just the best.

Stop searching, you’ve found the right shop.“

“Mason is amazing. Very talented and experienced artist. Had my first tat yesterday from him and I am so impressed with this work! I highly recommend Mason for bold detailed tattoos.“

“I had a great experience here. I wanted something simple, and they were able to deliver. I believe the artist’s name was Felipe (sorry if I got this wrong!) . He has long hair and is from Colombia. He constantly checked in on me for pain level, and designed a great tattoo for me. I only had to say what I wanted, and he went to work. I’m a doctor so I always make sure the right precautions are taken for the safety of my skin. He provided a very good sealant for the first 5 days, and accurate recommendations for the next 2 weeks.
I couldn’t be happier and would recommend this place to any friend or family member.“

“Me and my wife spontaneously got a 2 for 120$ deal the pick n stitch selection was nice. I got a pizza slice and my wife got an initial and Joe the artist was great took care of us quick too.“

“I got a vintage, ethereal single-needle rose tattoo from Jordan, and I love it. He did such a perfect job, the fine lines, the detail, the softness, it’s exactly what I envisioned. Beyond being talented, Jordan made me feel comfortable throughout the entire tattoo process. I was cold, and he brought over a little heater to make sure I felt okay. He was attentive, kind, caring, and easy to trust. Truly a wonderful artist and human. Couldn’t be happier with my tattoo. :)“

“Here I am, 2.5 years later looking at my tattoo and realizing I never wrote Nav (at Oceanfront) a review! We vacationed during a weekslong rainstorm in 2023 where I swear most studios were closed, but they were open - and we lucked out - they saw us three girls and gave us tattoos at reasonable prices, mine wasn't crazy - but was line work (Tolkien's Smaug). 2.5 years later, I remember Nav being great and my lines are still clean. ? So, I'm happy! Thanks Nav! Sorry for the delay ?“

“Awesome shop! Called and scheduled from out of town. Worked with the artist to get exactly what I wanted. Will be back soon“

“This was my first time coming here but not my first tattoo. I had been following Wendy on IG @wendystattoos who has been apprenticing at this shop for the past year. I really liked her animal designs, and the design I wanted was intended to be animal like. It was easy to schedule an appointment with her, and the shop was easy to find. There was ample street parking and parking in the residential area if you need a longer session. Wendy was patient and purposeful for helping me with the design and placement and the shop owner was great with checkins and very welcoming. In hindsight, I kind of wish I had gotten my first tattoos here considering how inviting the atmosphere is here and the skill of all the artists. Their designs are cool and very versatile. The piece completed on my arm by Wendy exceeded my expectations. She was thorough and had great suggestions to make the design worthwhile! Definitely coming back to the shop and with Wendy to get more work done!“

“Pin always hooking it up!! I already had a ghostie and gave him my concept of another ghost and VanGogh. Needless to say he killed it. Absolutely in love with my new tattoo. He takes his time, evaluates the tattoo and shares his opinion. He's a total team player when it comes to bringing your concept to life! Can't wait till the next one!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had an absolutely amazing experience getting my new tattoo an intricate owl and skull design on my arm and I couldn’t be happier with the result! Patrick was not only incredibly talented but also patient and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect.

The design itself turned out even better than I imagined, the shading, the line work, and the way the owl and skull blend together are just breathtaking. You can really see the passion and skill that went into it. Beyond the artwork, the whole session was genuinely fun. We had great conversations, laughs, and I left feeling like I’d just hung out with a friend who happened to gift me a masterpiece on my skin.

If you’re looking for a tattoo artist who can deliver stunning art while making the experience enjoyable and memorable, I can’t recommend them enough. This piece is something I’ll treasure forever. ???“

“Found this in my drafts - bummed I didn't post it sooner! It's been another handful of years since this, and that saved piercing is still going strong, with no issues since this visit! ---- I've had a lot of piercings over the years, which means that I've had to deal with 3 of them rejecting. I have one that is 7(ish) years old, and it was bugging me for the last week, so I went to Talk to Donovan about removing it. After giving it a check out, he told me not to remove it, why, and how to save it. Three days later, it's feeling so much better! He was really professional, polite, ad knowledgeable. I will definitely go to him for my next piercing.“
