She is so talented and I've been getting artwork commissioned by her here and there and have a few other small tattoos from her Her line work and attention to detail is amazing. Everyone at the shop was really nice too! The vibes were immaculate and the artists do this thing where they show all the other artists their finished pieces and I thought that was so cute. Her rate is 150/hr so I would book that appointment before her rates go up!!!!! Thanks Mia love u!!!

I was definitely giving toddler energy by kicking my feet and asking questions and she totally entertained every second of it. We talked about movies, tv shows, travel, music, etc. The conversation totally helped distract from the pain and before i knew it the session was over. I thought parking would be tough, but i went on a Saturday afternoon and found parking relatively easily a block away on Lake Shore Ave. The quality of work is top notch and my tattoo came out exactly as i wanted it to. Strongly recommend!

On two occasions I dropped in and they took me in on the same day.. I told them what I wanted they drew it up, I approved and got it done that same day. I am not sure if they still roll like that.

He added some of his own suggestions, and utterly nailed it. This tat exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with the results.

The owner and all the artists were very nice, supportive, and informative. The shop was in clean tip top shape filled with great artwork and bright lighting. They focus on all styles of tattooing so don't be shy to ask. I've already gotten tattooed here on multiple occasions and have been happy with each and every session. I highly recommend this tattoo shop for anyone wanting clean tattoo work at an affordable price.

This studio is OUTSTANDING and very professional and thorough. I had my first tattoo done here by…read moreD'mon a couple years back, which I LOVE. And I just got a full sleeve completed by him. I have a tattoo's by other artists outside of Obsidian, so I do have a perspective on other places in LA. The thing that really stuck with me and the reason why I wanted my full sleeve done by D'mon was the amount of time, thought, and care he spent with me in my consultation. I had my ideas I would bring to him of designs I liked and he would take it to another level of getting to know what I liked and why. Beyond just the tattoo, but really about the artistic side of it. Not just ink on skin. Taking my ideas and working through the dimensions, the look/feel of it/adding his craft into it. The way the studio operates is nothing I've ever seen. They really have such an artistic eye on what will look amazing AND making each piece nothing short of a masterpiece. It is on your body forever after all. ‍ I get compliments every day of my tattoos by D'mon. His work is truly bar none and his studio is very welcoming. Thank you so much!

I just happened to be visiting from Texas, so it seemed like a great way to celebrate the weekend! She mentioned that she had talked to Chris & that it was his idea. Not only did Chris come up with a clever & creative idea for us to mark the occasion, but he went all out. He drew up the exact chainsaw from the movie, matched the color & even added some blood on the blade. I love it! The shop is traditional cool, with great flash and amazing original framed artwork & taxidermy peppered about. It was clean, well lit, with a relaxed atmosphere. Chris was completely professional, precise and incredibly quick. He was fun to talk to & made me feel completely at ease. I would definitely go back to him again!

Their tattoos turned out great (different artists did theirs) and mine just is the worst tattoo I've ever seen. There's absolutely nothing I could like about it and I don't even know how it could get fixed. Idk if the guy was tired but he did seem pretty over it. He changed the colors from the design (without asking me) because he wanted to give me something more unique..it's definitely uniquely terrible.This really looks like it was done by someone who's never tattooed before. Every time I look at it, just makes me feel like sh*t. Please just choose not to tattoo someone if this is the quality of work you're going to produce.

After some great conversation, before I knew it, my tattoo was finished. Some saniderm to protect it, some aftercare instructions, and I was on my way. The shop is bright, spacious, clean, and super chill. I was checked on every step of the way to make sure I was comfortable and if I needed anything. All in all, an excellent tattoo experience.
