There ARE betters out there..

by fudgesickles

I have tried and tried to get in with Kat to get a tattoo done, a portrait of my mother, who passed away 2 years ago. Not only did she refuse to see me, she was arguing with other staff members in front of customers, and just generally seemed like she thought her $h1t didn't stink.

If you ask me, they do have alot of (overpriced) talent in the shop, and it's a shame that people who go to this place because of the "hype" of a TV show line this brat's pockets with their hard earned money. She doesn't appreciate it, or deserve it. In my opinion, she should go shoot up with Nikki Sixx and drop dead.

• Pros: SOME of the people working there are nice and talented
• Cons: Kat is IMPOSSIBLE get in with & has a stick up her A$$

Best Tattoo Shop In Town Hands Down

by maxyboy

This tattoo shop is extraordinary, I highly recomend it to anyone that is looking for a quality tattoo.

• Pros: beautiful and friendly staff, quality work, all around good times

The city's most hyped tattoo studio doubles as a reality show backdrop for "LA Ink" babe Kat Von D and her team of talented artists.

In Short
With funky pink walls covered in skateboard decks, candelabras and the Virgin Mary, clients may feel like they've just stepped onto a film set. Oh wait, they have. Despite a rock star following, a hit TV show and her own line of merch, the queen of ink stays focused on the signature black-and-gray portraits that inspire endless waitlists. Can't get in with Kat? Ten or so highly-skilled artists with varying specialties share studio space with Miss D, and walk-ins are welcome.
