I got my first and only tattoo from 11:11 AD on Ventura Blvd. I had visions of this tattoo for over a year. Luis gave me exactly what i envisioned. A Perfect Equilateral Triangle. I was raised by my mother who has me and my brother, so i always saw us as the three points in a triangle. We group text every single day. We always make sure each other is safe before we go to bed. The Love is Deep. I was a walk in and the customer service was excellent. There was some really good looking guy who may work there too with a shaved head and lots of tattoos. Nice to have something to distract you from the pain. The studio itself is super artsy and dope. It was also very clean. I truly had a great experience getting my tattoo. read more

1111 AD Tattoo - 3 days later - Tattoo Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Kirk Alley has been tattooing me since 2011, and I don't want anyone else to tattoo me for as long as we both shall live. Truly. I have two major pieces from him: a full sleeve on my left arm and a black-and-white piece that begins on my lower right ribs and wraps behind to the left side of my lower back. The latter required some reworking of old tattoos, and Kirk executed flawlessly. He has my complete trust when it comes to tattooing. I don't think twice about him drawing on me. To state the obvious: Kirk is an incredible artist -- originally a painter recruited to become a tattooist -- who can execute on any style you wish with flying colors. That's rare in a world of specialists who are limited to one style. You will get a one-of-a-kind piece. Plus, Kirk's a pleasure to be around. It's nice to spend a couple of hours talking to him while he draws on me. I always look forward to visiting him, and I hope that can happen again soon. read more

I contacted 1111 AD through Yelp, I was patched through to Luis promptly to discuss my tattoo. He was communicative and professional. I came in a little late from the scheduled time, which was no big deal to them. We discussed the art and the team was very helpful in getting the best for me, of what I had envisioned in my mind. I then sat through a 5-6 hour session with a fair amount of work. I still have to go back to finish up some touch up, I'm extremely happy with the end result tho. it came out better than I thought it would! Thanks Luis. read more

If you want all the things in one place... amazing aesthetic, all custom wood interior, very homey feel. Kirk's art everywhere is inspiring. And the work they do speaks for itself! It heals the best and looks the freshest after it heals! They are professional to every detail and my go to spot in LA. 5/5!!! read more

1111 AD Tattoo - My hand tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

This shop has such an awesome style and vibe to it!! Follows all covid precautions - masks, a nice artist (I'm so sorry I forgot your name) took my temperature right when I walked in, had me sanitize my hands. Very very clean shop. 10/10! My artist Molly is amazing! I've had her work before done at a different studio, but the vibe here fits her so much better! She does beautiful artwork, and makes sure you're happy with it before she starts. She drew directly on my ankle instead of using a transfer image, and even got down to the floor to make sure it looked perfect, such attention to detail! Parking in LA is never fun, but plenty of parking spots with meters were open, and a couple garages within a two minute walk. Definitely will come back here again! read more

Luis was amazing !!! Very professional and attentive. Super talented and sweet guy . He was very particular about what I wanted and I felt very comfortable. I highly recommend also very clean establishment read more

I used to go to a different place but the guy got sloppy and rushed things up so I was looking around for the best tattoo shop and I wish I would find them before a long time ago. Adriana was very nice and I enjoyed all the process. Also Kirk and Luis are very nice to be around. I'm definitely coming back to finish the sleeve and possibly some cover ups on the past tattoos done by the other shop. It will be a long journey but I can 100 percent trust Adriana. Thanks 11:11 AD ! read more

Have seen Kirk for many years, but first time in his new Studio. His eye for detail is amazing. We have been working on a deep sea sleeve that includes a shark, octopus, siren, orca and sunken plane. His shop is adorned with artwork he has done over the years and some of them are available to purchase. The inside of this tattoo studio is very warm and inviting and the entire staff is welcoming and friendly. If you are looking for a quality tattoo and tattooing experience, look no further than this place. read more

My search for the best tattoo artist (and yes, Kirk is a true artist) is over. I've had 4 different tattooists work on my body but Kirk is the best. I won't settle for anyone else. The proof is in the comments I get from people who see his work on my art. A bonus: Kirk is a very personable, kind, funny, enjoyable person to spend time with! I have yet to have work done in his new studio, but I was honored to attend his open house; his studio is immaculate, clean, well decorated, impressive! Kirk takes all the precautions and I trust him 100% to keep me safe as well as artistically decorated like no other. This may be an over-the-top review, but I speak the truth. I don't give compliments easily. read more

Called Saturday for an appointment Sunday. Spoke briefly with Luis, who'd be working with me the next day. He was great, listened. Sunday was terrific - my tat was simple but personally important. Additionally he cleaned up an old one that had feathered/bled over the years. Could not be more happy with his work. Two other artists, including the owner, were there and the vibe was super. read more

A while back I was doing research because I wanted to get a tattoo. I was looking around several places and looking at their work. I lost my Grandfather over a year ago and I wanted something to always have and he always used to tell me stories of how words came from Latin. So I decided on the Latin word . I contacted Kirk since he had a nice style to his artwork and he was really enthusiastic about it and we met up even when he was busy, He was really knowledgeable and we spoke and looked up different lettering and then we made an appointment for another day. Fast forward and I walked in and he was really cool about everything, told me what to expect, especially since this was my first time getting tattooed and even told me to let him know if I felt uncomfortable to let him know. We would be taking breaks and so forth. He measured everything and showed me and I was happy. Of course it is a tattoo and it did hurt lol but I was not expecting a massage. We took our breaks and some hours later I got through it and I was so happy I plan on continuing to get more work from him when I know exactly what I want and where the placement will be. What really had the icing on the cake was he told me that if I needed help on a design to let him know and he would help me figure it out to where I will be happy. Top it off he also paints and has a lot of his artwork around the studio which is really cool. read more
