I have had only great experiences here. Since the first visit 3 years ago and the consistent sessions I've had here I have not one complaint. The entire place is clean and offers top quality service. The friendly atmosphere alone makes you feel comfortable and it is clear that all the artist are knowledgeable and highly-skilled. Extra special shoutout to James for all of my tattoos. I have lost track of which is my favorite as they are all equally amazing! I recommend this shop to anyone who is interested on getting some work done.

This disaster of a cross tattoo cost more than 400.00, and they took advantage of the fact it was my first tattoo.

I absolutely loved Luis working on my beautiful tattoos! He went above and beyond what I even imagined from the inspiration picture. The staff was kind and lovely. The shop was clean and professional . Luis is now one of my favorite artists and I want him to work on all my future pieces !

Guys they are the best. Such good vibes and they are so talented! I've gotten 3 pieces done here now and every single one has been amazing and exactly what I wanted. 10/10

I am here as a first time tattoo documentarian and voyeur. i was welcomed into the shop as though i was the recipient. things i noticed as a woman with an eye for detail: place is cleaaaaan, clean clean. the floor where you dont even have work done - clean. the floor where they do the work - clean. counters? clean. love this. vitally critical. the team on site - kind, hospitable. as not the customer, i appreciated this. gave me water!! i love that!!! the space - clean, i mentioned? fun!!!! art all over and other interesting pieces to keep me entertained. honestly, lots of stuff to look at. im partial to the stuffed heads. the artist - Kal - allowed me tag along, take pics of the process, maybe be a little annoying as a neophyte but also high tolerance for such. he sized, resized. took his time to get it right, which i feel as someone who is not getting a tattoo, is the most important thing. i felt really welcome and the subject did, too. she was thrilled with the experience. the team here really worked together as one, which was fun to see. as the person very much on the outside, i felt insidey and along for the ride. 10/10 would recco and accompany again.

I've been following this shop and their artists for a while and finally stopped in over the weekend when we were in the area. My husband and I both chose a design from their February flash sheet. They also do piercings and seem to offer a variety of jewelry to choose from. Shop was very clean and staff was friendly. It can be intimidating walking into a tattoo shop sometimes but they make you feel welcome. Great work by Noah and highly recommend this tattoo studio if you are looking to get something done! read more

Got tattooed at Boartooth and had such a great experience! Luis was my artist and he absolutely crushed it -- the artwork is beautiful, clean, and exactly what I was hoping for. He has a super steady hand and a chill vibe that made the whole process feel easy and comfortable. Karina was also amazing -- she facilitated everything with such care and calm, making sure I felt taken care of the entire time. The whole space had a really welcoming energy, and you can tell everyone there genuinely cares about their work and their clients. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo and want a shop that's both professional and friendly, Boartooth is the place. 10/10 would recommend -- already thinking about what I want next! read more

This shop has so far, been the best one I've gone to in LA. For a Friday the 13th, this place was so organized and the shop was calm and really fun. They were communicative and patient but also attentive, offering people who waited water and making conversation with everyone. I picked a flash tattoo designed by Jonny Hart, and let me just say, I am beyond grateful! I don't have any colored tattoos so I asked if we could stick to black and grey and he absolutely delivered. My adorable acorn is so detailed and the line work is perfect and he made me feel comfortable the whole time, always checking in on my pain level and if I needed to move for a minute. The tattoo is incredible. I can't wait to see how it heals up but I have never enjoyed a fresh tattoo so much as I do with this one. I will 100% be getting more tattoos with Jonny. read more

This is an amazing tattoo shop. I've been going here for the last couple of years and have a lot of really great pieces from Andre. The artists, Dre, Daniel, Chon, Seth, and the piercer, Annie, are all wicked talented. Everyone, including the shop manager, Moe, are very professional and laid back. They're a great group of people. They take walkins and appointments, with a $100 shop minimum. They often have flash events for holidays, Friday the 13th, and a shop anniversary party over the summer.

History

Established in 2005.

Daniel Werder was born and raised in Colorado Springs, a town that was extraordinarily conservative; however he came from a liberal family and was encouraged to be a free thinker, creative and artistic. His family's love of music and performance translated for him into dance and art. With drawing always in the background, Daniel's focus turned to dancing which motivated his move to California in 2001. With substantial success as a dancer under his belt, he felt complete with that art form and when he found a tattoo machine Daniel's interest was sparked. Daniel's style continues to develop due to a willingness to remain a student of life and art. He dabbles with most styles in order to stay well rounded, but excels in color theory, American traditional and Japanese traditional. His forte is using the symbolism of these traditional styles, pulling influence from mythology and ancient woodblock artists (his favorite being Yoshitoshi) and creating innovative combinations and blending.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.

He took a look and told me I could probably get one but he would verify once he was able to check my nose. He was able to immediately determine the septum spot was higher up. The pain was extremely minimal. I really appreciated that Bruce walked me through every step of the process. I'll definitely be back.

Taylor is hands down my favorite person to have tattoo me. Not only is her work stunning, unique, intricate, and carefully done - SHE is also such a delightful person to be around. When you're looking for a new tattoo artist, it's important to find someone who not only produces incredible work but also makes you feel listened to, comfortable, and really works with you to ensure that the art you're having done is EXACTLY what YOU want. Taylor has always been more than willing to work with every tiny request I've had, from minor changes to switching from black and white to full color. She really listens and puts her heart and soul into every single tattoo she creates and that is obvious when you see them. I have multiple tattoos from Taylor and every time I've visited the area she has made sure to squeeze me in her busy schedule (I live in another state). I've gotten tons of compliments on the tattoos she's done for me and having her artwork on my body has drastically improved my self confidence and has made me feel more beautiful. The tattoo's she's done for me have all been large - she is always very compassionate and does everything she can to make it as painless as possible. I will continue to get tattoos done by Taylor every time I'm in the area. She is also very reasonably priced for the high quality work she produces. Overall - best tattoo artist I've ever had, most beautiful tattoos and really gives you a tattoo experience to look forward to and enjoy. Her love for tattooing is obvious - demonstrated by the work she creates. I HIGHLY recommend going to Taylor whether you're thinking of getting your first tattoo or you already have many. read more

Came into the shop around 2:00pm pacific standard time. I was greeted immediately by one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in the 24 years I have been alive. Aside from the stellar service and amazing vibe that this shops carries, I was mesmerized by the unique and vibrant art work that surrounded my soul. I am new to the Culver City area and I was looking for a tattoo shop that could work with any style I preferred. EVERY single artist in this shop has an amazing gift and they catered to every idea that I brought to the table. Not only will I be coming back to the shop for another tattoo but I will make my best attempt to get tatted by every artist in this shop. I want to give a big shoutout to Gina serpentina for flawlessly creating a tattoo that I will hold close to my heart, The apprentice nick which I will have tattoo my nipple when he masters the art of tattooing, Daniel, which is a wonderful representation of one of a kind art work, Taylor for her beautiful eyes and wonderful presentation of a dedicated tattoo artist, and Vince for holding the shop together through commitment and love. Client for life! read more

Daniel at Boartooth is a true artist, his skill set is vast and it's evident that this guy is an artist you will readily wait for (he is booked out a few weeks so make an appointment). I have about 5 pieces by him now and more to come. I continue to work with Daniel for his ability to originate something beautiful and bold out of my often vague ideas that are usually based off a theme more than an actual image - he's an interpreter of imagination and has a strong talent for creating something completely one of a kind. His attitude is also awesome, he'll always be honest if his professional opinion has a suggestion to make your idea better too which I appreciate a lot. The whole vibe of the shop is welcoming and friendly, all the guys working there are very cool - I appreciate the atmosphere as I've found the attitude amongst many tattoo shops can be intimidating or judgmental, not the case here. I'm committed to Daniel because he gives me his all every time, and he's a perfectionist - everything you want from somebody giving you permanent results! read more

I came here in September to get a tattoo from Kal. While I love my finished piece, I have a few complaints, not the least of which is permanent ink bleeding around both sides of the tattoo. To start, it was the most painful tattoo session I've ever had. I thought maybe cause I'm getting older, tattoos must just hurt more. I have a lot of work and have never been in so much pain during a session. The day after, my leg was VERY SWOLLEN, like my body was having a clear reaction and I thought I noticed a bit of bruising, which I've also never experienced. Over the course of the last 4 months, the "bruising" has not dissipated at all and I now realize is an actual ink bleed, which makes sense because of how deep he was going. I have communicated my disappointment to Kal, and even asked for a refund, to which he has denied, and now stopped responding to my texts (re: possibly finding a solution) I have never regretted a tattoo more. read more

I was looking for a local tattoo shop or an artist for a few months and got a referral to this place and Evan W. Checked his reviews and pics and, as an art collector and a very picky customer decided to give a chance to Evan. This was my first tattoo experience but I didn't want to seem as an amateur so I did some research. Great reviews and colors on some tattoos done by Evan definitely gave me some confidence but then we met and talked in person and I liked his personality and professional attitude. Also, this tattoo place is nice, clean and gives me the art gallery vibe as well. I got a huge tattoo of this gorgeous rooster. Can't wait for one more session and colors and will post pics. Evan is fast, accurate, patient and creative. He can get that image you had to the next level. I am very happy with what he invented and will be able to post pictures soon. Highly recommended! read more

Shout out to Luis for doing an amazing job on my friend's bicep area and shoulder. My friend wanted to get a tribal tattoo to finish up his left arm and so far, based on the outlines Luis did, it looks remarkable. Luis shows that he has an expertise of doing tribal tattoos. Even without the full design completed, we just know that it'll come out amazing and glad that we chose Luis to do our tribal tattoo. The symbols that Luis drew really gave us a unique depth into his artistic style and that it blew us away that he was able to deliver way more than we had expected. I will update this post once the full tattoo is finished but really wanted to leave a review since the progress was so amazing that I couldn't wait to write one. read more

Boartooth is a great classic tattoo shop. I've been tattooed by a few of the artists here but most recently Shane who did a large Oni mask on my calf. The tattoo is healing great and Shane is super professional with his work. He also is great about making sure you're comfortable while sitting for your tatt and makes sure to ask if you've had some food and enough water before your appointment. All around great shop with a great group or artists that can do anything from flash to full custom large scale pieces. Highly recommend coming in here to get some work done. Even if you're just thinking about it go in and take a look at some of the hand painted flash on the walls you'll definitely find something sick. read more

I definitely recommend Boartooth. My wife had work done with Vincent last year, and I was so impressed that I decided to do my latest tattoo with him as well. I've now had over a dozen tattoos done, and I feel like I know a good artist when I see one. Vincent is excellent. He cares about the artwork and was interested to talk about the ideas and theory behind the tattoo itself, which meant a lot to me, as I put a lot of time and thought into each one that I get. Frankly he is just a great guy as well. It was both a professional and friendly atmosphere. I plan on getting more work done at Boartooth, and I'm very grateful that I have such a good place in my neighborhood. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I had heard good things about the shop and an artist named Gina. Had a consultation and was blown away by her kindness, patience, and willingness to collaborate on my vision. This was a very important tattoo for me, signifying an important transformation in my life, and Gina absolutely hit it out of the park. She took incomplete thoughts and conflicting ideas and turned into a beautiful masterpiece. This took only two sessions, not heavy handed, extremely focused, and filled with delightful conversation. She truly cares about your vision, the story behind it, and the person she is tattooing. If you want excellent work done by an exceptional human, I highly recommend Gina Serpentina. read more

If you're looking to get a tattoo, I highly suggest Gina ( @ginaserpentina). I can't really express the words that I have to say about Gina because she is truly amazing from her attitude to her work. I love that when I go to Gina that we really work together to create the perfect piece. She really takes the ideas and makes them come to life. I've never been dissatisfied and I get compliments on my tattoo everywhere I go! She is absolutely amazing with color! As for pricing, I never feel like I'm being overcharged or taken advantage of. I've never been so proud to wear something so beautiful. Moral of the story, what are you waiting for? Go to GINA!!! read more

Go see Gina!!!! This lady does killer tattoos. I've never been disappointed and will always get a tattoo done by her when possible. Her way of taking an idea you throw out and making the drawing really feel like your own is amazing. She is attentive, listens well and is SO FRIENDLY! Her work is spectacular and she can cover such a broad spectrum. I've always felt very comfortable being tattooed by her. Not to mention... support the ladies in the industry!!!! Gina Serpentina will be one of my top favorite tattoo artists for life. I get compliments on my work done by her almost daily, so thanks Gina for being awesome! read more

Annie switched out my nose piercing (I was getting an irritation bump with my old stud) and pierced my conch. Both procedures were easy, painless, and quick! Annie was great, super friendly and welcoming and answered all my questions. After going to another piercer about the irritation bump who gave me bad advice, it was nice to speak with a professional who knows what she's doing. I trust her judgement entirely. And I love the placement of my conch :) Prices were very reasonable for LA, studio was super sanitary, and vibes were great. Highly recommend Annie for all your piercing needs! read more

I've been a loyal client of Gina Serpentina who just joined the shop. She does awesome color American traditional tattoos! She stays true to American traditional while being super creative and packing in bold color. She is an amazing drawer who will take you idea, run with it, and make it a million times better than you imagined it could be! She's done 6 of my tattoos and I hope for her to finish my sleeve soon. She also does beautiful black and grey floral work too. Also overall experience while getting tattooed is great. Great conversation and she is conscious of your pain tolerance. read more

I forgot to mention I asked Annie about some piercings Id gotten elsewhere and how they're still irritated after having them for a year, she walked me through different kinds of metals that could irritate skin and gave me some recommendations. I immediately went home and ordered what she recommended and they haven't been irritated since. She could've brushed me off because I had gotten them elsewhere but she was totally helpful and kind!!!! Her aftercare instructions also have my new piercings totally clean and painless and the healing is going super well. Thank you so much Annie hehe read more

Annie is the best! I realized late on a Sunday night that the back of my one-week old piercing (from somewhere else) had pushed back into my ear and the skin had healed over it. Annie was able to help me out on short notice, re-pierce the back of my ear, access the whole piercing, and swap it out to a bigger bar and back so that it didn't happen again. She was super nice, efficient, and clearly very good at what she does. She also made me feel really comfortable when I was pretty freaked out about the situation. I would definitely recommend going to see her for piercings! read more

me and my roommate went in for our first tattoos, and coming from out of state and being so new to the whole process... they were great. It's a cozy but really dope setup they have inside where you can tell it has charm but it's super clean and friendly, with reasonable prices. Very laid back but still really friendly and sociable environment, where they were open to suggestion and just genuinely nice people. highly recommend for a first timer going in with no expectations but then having an overall good time. thanks again guys :) -Lizzy & Maria (hope to be back soon) read more

Ash has been piercing me and styling all my body jewelry since 2021! Threw in some pics of what we styled in my ear/nose recently too. They're incredibly good at explaining each step of the piercing process and make it really easy to get comfortable. Not to mention they work quickly and make you feel like a badass just for stepping behind the counter. All of their work has healed perfectly on me and they always have cool ideas for unique piercing projects if I'm feeling creative. Fairy hands for sure, thanks for making getting poked something to be excited about Ash!! read more

It's such an amazing experience getting tattooed at this shop all around. Noah is a BEAST with his machine and works quickly with CLEANNNN lines and beautiful artwork. The tattoos I've gotten at Boartooth are all my favorites and make me feel so much more confident. 1000% recommend stopping by and getting whatever piece you've been dreaming of.
