Tattoo Shops near Universal City

“Once you experience getting tattooed by an artist like Milton, you will never view tattoos the same way. I literally get asked about my half sleeve every day... it is a work of art and every session a connection with an incredible soul.“

“Got my left nostril pierced, both my lobes and an industrial done on my right side. Cleanliness through the roof! One problem was when I said all that he got a bit annoyed, which is understandable. While he was doing the industrial my mother said, “not as bad as a femur break huh?” His annoyance from before went straight away!! It was funny imo. Very professional and extremely efficient, was done in less than 15 min!!<br>Cost 223$ tipped 30$<br><br>Cleanliness: Gloves, alcohol wipes, straight from the packaging needles- amazing!!!“

“For starters the customer service was excellent with the atmosphere and coordination feeling very natural. Alex did my tattoo and he was very pleasant and really went the extra mile to help me feel comfortable. One finer point of this was when he did a "warm up line" to feel what the area he was going to tattoo was going to feel like and giving a brief break afterwards. Additionally he spoke to me the whole time and the conversation flowed very naturally. The time flew by.<br>He also did an excellent job w/ fixing a tattoo I wasn't happy with (that I got at another shop that rhymes with "stink and stiron") and adding to it. The shop is also very clean and hospitable. The whole staff seemed very nice and like they were welcoming me into their home. On a more personal note the shop plays a lot of oldies which I thoroughly digged and was a pleasant departure from the normal trap music or death metal I'm used to hearing in other shops. I loved the whole classic vibe. This in tandem with everything mentioned before really made me feel at ease through the whole process. Thank you guys for the awesome work you do and I hope you continue to conduct yourselves as such.<br><br>P.s. Another thing worth mentioning is that they are willing to work within budget constraints and ask you upfront about that. This is unlike an another shop I've been to and I think more shops should strive to be like this.“

“My daughter & I got pierced by Doughboy. He did her ears and my nose. He's very personable and funny. Made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in. We had a great experience. Thank you.“

“I'm so happy to have found Claudia who worked on my brows and they look fantastic! I'd been hesitant to get this service from anyone, until I found her to be an expert in her field. I consulted with her first, and right away I liked how she listened, and then explained and answered all my questions, as I am very particular. At the appointment, I appreciate how Claudia clarified, checked on me, didn't rush through the process and made sure measurement was just right. Best of all, my aftercare is right on target and the healing has been great with no pain. I'd highly recommend this Professional Artist!“

“I've been meaning to write this one for a bit- Nalette is AMAZING!! Talented, kind, very accomodating and thoughtful! I was in for two sessions to get one of her beautiful fox wannado's and I could not be happier with it. From first lines to final color, it has looked great and healed spectacularly! Can't wait to come back for touch-ups and final whites! “

“Hands down the best place to go. Jason was great, and did an amazing job on a remembrance piece. He even made suggestions that I went with, and it was the best decision I have made on any ink work I've had done.“

“me and my friends have gotten 7 tattoos done by TJ and theyre all very good! clean nice and welcoming environment“

“I made the mistake of going to an apprentice from another shop and I was considering tattoo laser removal because I just couldnt stand how my hand looked. I decided to stop into graves ink, where I met Dalton. He's seriously incredible. Patiently took the time to come up with a piece that would nicely cover up existing tats with one that I absolutely love and it looks so clean. I couldn't tell him how much I appreciated him after his attention to detail and hospitality, all the while addressing my concerns. Today, I left the shop happy with an amazing piece I'm proud of. Thankyou so much Dalton.“

“Got my first piercing from Xavier after considering them for a couple months. He responded to my emails/texts in a timely manner. His shop is clean, neat, and spacious. Xavier made sure to spend the time in the beginning to explain the piercing process, healing, and answer any questions I had. He didn't make me feel uncomfortable at all and took pride in making sure his work was perfect. Glad to know he's always available for any questions regarding healing/care afterwards and to change up the jewelry after it heals!“

“My girl and I stopped by this shop to inquire about some tattoos. We immediately noticed how clean the shop is. We also felt the Good vibes as well. The professionalism and knowledge we received from Zack and Dave was outstanding! I ended up getting my tattoo from Zack. My girl also got one too and our daughter got her first tattoo by Zach as well. The three of us ended up with immaculate artwork. So I encourage anyone looking for a new tattoo to check out this shop. It's definitely A+ for Us. We look forward to doing more business here in the future.“
