In Short – Located just off the main beach promenade, this popular studio is designed like a rock-n-roll emporium--complete with mock silver metal walls and loud metal music blasting. Because it's a custom shop, the artists whip out their Sharpies and sketch right on your skin. Don't be distracted by the bolt through your artist's nose, all inkers have at least 5 years of experience. The starting price for a tattoo is $50-90, but the extra cash goes to making the experience friendly, safe and private. – – Hits: The artists clean their instruments in front of the client,…

Worst tattoo shop in california
by jenmallini
Worst costumer service EVER! Worst tattoo artists EVER Could not even draw a simple star without lines not connecting, not to mention when scab fell off there is NO ink in skin. Absolutely the worst group of men that when asked for a refund stood all together and laughed at 2 women!!!! Completely insulting! I have many friends with many tattoos I also have 3 myself and have NEVER had this problem before! Worst place ever be forewarned!
- Pros: NOTHING
- Cons: EVERYTHING

Bad Vibes Here!
by 2palmtrees
They say Venice Beach is a sunny place with shady people and this is definitely the case with this tattoo-parlor! They are extremely over priced and prey on anyone that walks through their doors. About six months ago I worked for a hostel and would bring these guys business as they were really close to where I worked. They charged my friend $160 for a tiny black tribal flower on the small of her waist. Seriously this tattoo was about the size of a half dollar ...maybe! The guy who does the piercings will sell you jewelry at any cost. I bought a piece of jewelry after being told it would fit, and when I got home discovered it was entirely too big. Not only would they not return it they wouldn't give me anything that fit after blatantly taking advantage of me. Apparently, I shouldn't have left until I was certain their piercer had sold me the correct size. "I'm not the paid professional here, arrghhh! These guys are jokes! Don't go here or their other location on the boardwalk unless you're ready to pay more and get less. My recommendation is stay away from the beach if you want piercings or tattoos the beach attracts tourists and tourists attract sleazeball tattooists/piercers.
- Pros: You can get pretty cheap smokes a couple doors down
- Cons: Just read my review

The Extras:
That doesn't look like my mom! Any fades or discoloration in your tattoo can be re-inked for free if you come back within two weeks of the original procedure.
Know Before You Go:
Rates depend on the artist's discretion. Different inkers charge different amounts for the same tattoo and some may even be open to bargaining.
