Friendly professional staff. The tattoo studio is sanitary and clean. The tattoo artist Gabriel Munster did an amazing job on my tattoo. He listened to exactly what I wanted. I got a skull wearing a crown with a female face. He did an amazing job and overall had a great experience.

Haven’t gotten a tattoo here but saw Ian today for a piercing and had the best experience. He was super nice, knowledgeable and just an all around great guy. He suggested to me a way I could do my conch piercing that I had never thought of or knew you could even do which Im so excited to come back and get from him. I’m sure I’ll be back for even more piercings after that.

I walked in without an appointment for a belly piercing and Ian was amazing! Very clean and overall super fast process, I didn’t feel a thing and I’m very satisfied. Prices were good compared to other studios in L.A and there was a nice vibe to the place. Highly recommend!

Great Value awesome Artists. Dean "The Machine" is my favorite. His lines are crisp and he takes so much time and care when prepping and during follow-up afterwards. This shop has some super amazing art and treasures to look at.

Mohave Creative is a great place to check out in LA. I am a tourist and I booked a month out,, they already had my line work ready for me when I got there. Brian is a great tattoo artists and the rest of the staff is super friendly. This tattoo shop is not sketchy and I would recommend them to anybody.

I came in to the shop a while back to get a large thigh piece. I worked with Gabriel and the whole process was so smooth from consultation, to design, to the actual tattoo. We had two sessions and I could not be happier with the end result. Money well spent!

Chris completely my first tattoo perfectly! He took his time helping me design and make the exact changes I requested. The lines are so clean and it turned out beautiful. The shop is extremely clean, professional and welcoming. Definitely stop by!

Essentially a Production line, I’ve been here twice, twice mistakes made. Ignored when confronted. But the over pricing, mistakes on tattoo and neglect of customer service is what made me give it a low rating. The owner is cool though just chilling collecting money with no control over his artist work. Not once did he mention the errors they did nor apologized. Sad that a shop of that statue is out operating in this manner.

Jonny and the whole team are amazing. The amount of effort they take to provide a clean and safe environment during a pandemic is incredible. Every artist displayed their skills the two nights I was there. From the owner, other artists, the piercer and even the apprentices. I was blown away at the care and talent! They had walk-in-ins and long term appointments for bigger projects! Can't say enough about my experience here. I know have 3 more appointments booked. Well worth the wait.

I have a half sleeve, chest piece and forearm tattoo from Jonny. I HIGHLY recommend him. He's a great guy and a fantastic artist. Planning on getting many more pieces from him.
