Tattoo Shops near Monterey Park

“Got my nose piercing here a couple years ago and the gentleman who did my piercing was the absolute best. They're all really friendly here and make the process easy for you.“

“Ric is absolutely amazing and my favorite tattoo artist by far!!!! He did an incredible job with a fig idea I had and made it absolutely perfect. I had been looking for someone for a couple of years to do this piece for me and I definitely went with the right person! The vibes were great and I am so happy with his work“

“Called in to Best Wishes late afternoon, asking if they'd take two walkins, Tyler was super supportive and helpful (and willing). I showed up with my friend, who was visiting from Germany, and Tyler did an amazing job (not only with his precision, but also in taking his time). His cleanliness is next level, is a very good way. Oh, and the conversations we had were really awesome. Definitely coming back for the next one, and hopefully found a friend and new shop to get any future work. Thanks again! - Chad A. Marshall“

“First of all, hands down to my man XY BORG for always delivering the tattoos I wanted. He did my first tattoo and just recently came back for more. The way he does his art and turning all the designs to reality makes him one of the best out there! Thanks for always coming through bro!!“

“I got my first couple tattoos here this past week, and I couldn’t be happier! Becca and Esther did an excellent job and brought my (admittedly kind of vague) ideas to life in such a beautiful way. The interior of the shop is super clean and honestly pretty gorgeous, and everyone at every stage of the process was welcoming and helpful.

This was a wonderful way to start my tattoo journey, and I hope to return for years to come! (also super excited about getting my chest piece colored in!!)“

“Great shop!Walked in for a consultation without any reference pics and Ricardo worked with me to get mocks along with pricing. Tried a couple different options and he completely nailed it. Looked so good, had to just go for it and I couldn’t be happier his work.Ricardo was professional, kind, and patient. Excellent line work. Looking forward to going back for more work in the future!“

“Excellent ! You go there and you ‘ll find a real professionist ! So happy :-)

Requested style: Fine lines

Stylist: The artist was so good ! A real PRO !!!“

“Experience was super fast and easy, would definitely recommend for any piercing! Vibe was super chill too.“

“Wonderful group of talented people in a beautiful, private studio in the Art's District in Downtown Los Angeles.“

“I had a regrettable backyard tattoo from my youth that made me embarrassed to take off my shirt. After reaching out to multiple tattoo artists, I was met with rejection as no one was willing to take on the challenge of covering up the large, poorly done piece. I had almost given up hope until I saw Jeremy Swanson on the TV show “America’s Worst Tattoos.” His ability to transform terrible tattoos into stunning works of art gave me a glimmer of hope, especially since he was a local artist in Southern California.

When I reached out to Jeremy, he welcomed the challenge with open arms and confidence. He turned my embarrassing mistake into a masterpiece that looks like it belongs in a museum. The compliments I receive now are a testament to his incredible talent.

Jeremy is the real deal. I have since returned to him multiple times to complete a full sleeve, and each experience has been nothing short of amazing. He is a true gentleman who ensures that his clients are well taken care of. If you're looking for an artist who can transform your tattoo ideas into reality, Jeremy Swanson is your guy.“

“This Review is super long over due... Found superior ink as a spontaneous last minute moment and all the other shops were not taking walk in's. I ended up finding Superior Ink and they were able to see me same day as a walk in. Right off the bat Julian treated us like family and made everything so comfortable. He really does make you feel like your family every step of the way. This is my go to place where I send friends and family for any tattoos or piercings We Have now been going here for over a year and seeing how much his place has grown is so exciting for him Overall such a great place Thank you Julian, Jen and all the rest of the staff“

“Thank you Tin! I decided to get a Miami Dolphins logo tattoo on my arm and believe me, Tin nailed it! I'm very happy with the end result and the ambiance of the place is very relaxing and clean. Tin was very nice he offered me water, snacks and I watch movies while he was doing his art. I highly recommend him! Thank you Tin for making my first tattoo a wonderful experience.“

“I've been tattooed by Heather Bailey at Holy Union four times now and am totally in love with each piece. All four are custom designs and they've all healed beautifully with incredible colors and shading. She has such a wealth of artistic and technical knowledge that she's able to make all kinds of designs work in terms of how they fit on the body, flow with other pieces and simply feel right. All that said, her flash is incredible and I'm always tempted by it. So if you're having trouble deciding on a custom piece, she has a ton of great options that are as strong as her custom work.The shop itself is beautifully curated with artists' original flash, paintings and assorted art reflecting their passions and interests. It's an environment that feels rooted in the history of tattoo shops and you feel that excitement walking in, but it's also different from other shops in unique ways. There's so many custom and curated parts of the shop to soak in while you're getting tattooed. And as others have mentioned, the shop soundtrack is always on point. From beloved favorites to songs you're hearing for the first time, it all fits perfectly. And there's great food and coffee / juice options within walking distance to enjoy before and after.The shop has such a diverse clientele and everyone is always treated with so much respect and professionalism. Whether it's your first tattoo or you're almost totally covered, you're going to feel comfortable. All the staff and artists are really great. I just wrapped a tattoo and can't wait to be back again.“

“Vicki was very accommodating. She helped us with our customized tattoo and we really loved the outcome. She even told us we can comeback anytime for a free retouch. We will really recommend Gee Ink to our friends.“

“Third time getting tatted here and the atmosphere is great. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive and the shop is so clean. Special thanks to Alex for handling me with care. Will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

“Went in for some piercings and it was quick and easy bit painful but that's part of the deal. Other than that I'd say it was great and I recommend it to whoever's in the area. You should swing on by and get a tattoo by myself I am thinking of going today for a tattoo“

“John was so patient and kind with me explaining every step of the piercing process, going over aftercare and making sure I felt calm. Very clean shop, friendly environment, highly suggest!“

“A great place to get Tattoos, it’s a reliable and awesome place for those who love doing Tattoo.“

“I had a great experience at The Dolorosa! I was tattooed by Storm. All artists and staff are professional and friendly. Shop is clean and has a great atmosphere. Will be back soon!“

“Was able to get a high quality tattoo from Edmwin that fit my schedule. Very private studio if you don't like the regular open area tattoo shops. I'll definitely be back for more when I can.“

“Lina did my tattoo and she was so so so kind and helpful throughout the whole process. She made sure that everything was perfect and exactly the way I wanted. I've had a bad experience getting tattooed previously but she was just the best. The shop itself is so nice and calm too. It was such a good experience and when I get any tattoos in the future I will definitely come back.“

“Jay did my daughter's first tatoo. He made her feel very comfortable. He was very friendly and her tattoo healed nicely. I definitely recommend Lambert & Gunn Tattoo Studio!“

“I came across this shop by reading their review and did the walk-in. Given consultation on price, length of time, and the design right away. Loves what I heard, so I went back in an hr and got my tattoo done. All the artists were friendly and very professional. The place was clean, spacious, and had little hang out area in the back. No intimidation whatsoever for first-timer. After the service, I was given info on * how to clean, care, etc, Ointment t snd told me call or txt if there any questions or concerns with the healing process. Very positive experience.Kayrhleen is the artist I've chosen for my tattoo.“

“I went in there today for my first (nose) piercing , aside from having my ears done as a baby haha. I was running late, and walked in just as their $50 special was ending for the day. I was planning on being turned away, due to the time, but was really surpised that they warmly took me and honored the special anyway! Its my birthday and i have always wanted my nose pierced. I have an EXTREME phobia of needles, and was truly petrified to get it done. Had to give myself a little pep talk in their bathroom beforehand hahaha. But I told them about it, and they were so respectful regarding my anxiety, and Brian hid the needle from me the whole time. I didn't catch the guys name at the front desk, but he was sure to wish me a happy birthday, congratulate me when the piercing successfully completed haha, share some of his personal story with me, and give me a hug. Both men in there were so warm and gave off a family energy. They gave me so much detailed info on aftercare, and were so kind about me asking a million nervous questions. I was having such a terrible birthday, but as I left the shop, I felt like it turned my mood around and made me feel happy. They definitely put the "love" into the shops name. Thank you guys for being the smile I really needed today! Highly recommend for anyone that's looking for a genuinely enjoyable experience!“

“I have been coming here for my past two tattoos now and I will forever come back here! Red has done both my sage and crystal tattoo and my sailor moon tattoo, and I absolutely love her work and her vibe while tattooing. She is always so nice and helps me get exactly what I want. I have sent my family go get tattoos here as well and they love them. See you for the next tattoo Red! ❤️
