    Back piece

    I cannot recommend or say enough GOOD things about Broken Art tattoo as a whole. Every single artist there makes you feel comfortable and welcome no matter if it's your 1st visit or your 100th. My family and I have been getting tattooed at Broken Art for 10+ years and it's always the best experience. The shop owner, Jeremy Swan, makes such an effort to make sure you're comfortable through every single step. He's done a number of tattoos for me, the first one being my portrait of my dog. I was very nervous before going into the shop. Jeremy handled my nerves with ease and now it's one of my favorite tattoos. When I was ready to get my back piece, I knew that there was no one else I wanted to do it but Jeremy. I could not have imagined the process going any better. It's one thing to have talented artists but it's just as important to have someone that's friendly and thoughtful taking care of you, especially for 7 sessions. The confidence I have in knowing I'm going to get an epic piece every time I step in his shop is priceless. They have artists that specialize in anything you're looking for. I've been tattooed by Jeremy and Matt but would happily trust anyone at this shop.

    I am SO GLAD I found Jeremy! I had a tattoo that desperately needed coverup and he did an amazing job. He worked with me through the design revisions and when we finally got a date down, I'll have to say I was nervous. Could it really be covered up? This was almost too good to be true... day of, the shop is clean and you can immediately tell that Jeremy is a professional and a true artist. He's also a super pleasant, honestly nice human being. If I had to sit for five hours for a tattoo, he'd be the person I'd do that with. The end result was... unbelievable. Anyone who has seen this coverup can't believe how good it is. I'll def be returning to Jeremy for my other cover ups and I'd highly recommend him to anyone with an old tattoo they'd rather not have. Thank you so much Jeremy!

    This tattoo is a cover-up of a tattoo from 35 years ago

    They have all different styles of art at this place. It's clean and well up kept. The vibe is very positive.

    I got tattooed by Josue about three years ago. Sometimes it can feel very awkward during a session, but he made me feel comfortable and was very personable and professional. He's really talented and listens to his client, taking his time to get it right. I'm glad I trusted him to do such an important piece. I've moved away from LA and got more tattoos since then and it's still my favorite tattoo. I would definitely travel to get another tattoo done by him.

    I went here for three different sessions and I truly enjoyed each one of them! I collaborated with Josue for all three and I was just amazed at how he brought my visions to life. I was detailed on what I hoped to see on each tattoo and he delivered! He even added some details to make them even more beautiful than I imagined. I'm extremely grateful for Josue's hard work and his talents!

    Came to Cali for the weekend and impulsively decided I wanted a tattoo while I'm out here so I called Broken Art and they were so nice. Spoke to Derrek on the phone, but Josue was the one who actually did my tattoo. Just texted him what I wanted and gave me pricing and was able to see me within an hour. Definitely will be coming back if I'm ever in town again!

    Came in last night for a neck piece. First time at the shop and the energy was great. I was recommended by a friend. Jeremy was my artist and created the perfect rose design. Next day and I'm feeling great and looks like everything will health quickly and smoothly. 5 stars. I'll be back.

    Found this Tattoo Shop on Yelp and asked if I could come in the same day. Sent some reference pictures to Josue, we talked and figured out the vision and he perfectly executed it! Really grateful to have met Josue, he's genuine, keeps a good conversation going, and is truly Talented

    Highly recommend Josue Acosta! This was my first tattoo and it could not have been a better experience. Josue took the ideas/description I sent him and knocked it out of the park with his design. The process of getting the tattoo was super chill and relaxed, and it healed really quickly with no issues. I've gotten tons of compliments on my bunny! Will definitely contact Josue when I'm ready for my next one.

    Had a pleasure of getting my tattoo by Josh. He was gentle and friendly. We had great conversations that made the time goes by fast and took my mind off the tattoo. Don't get me wrong I love getting tattoos but I don't like pain .

    Great work by Josue!

    I found this shop from a quick Google, and was impressed on the website by Josue's work with color. This is my fourth tattoo, and my first with color. I was so impressed with Josue's work. I told him I wanted a David Bowie lightning bolt, and he came prepared with the perfect shape and colors picked out. It was done in under and hour, he was very friendly while working, and he gave me a great deal. I'll definitely be back for my next tattoo. Can't recommend this place enough!

    Dillon is the man.

    Is this place even still open? I tried calling more than a couple of times but no answer!? I even walked there but during business hours but they were closed.

    Hi. Yes. It is still open. In fact, I have an appointment there again tomorrow

Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her. Everything went so smoothly and it was mostly painless - only a pinch in the process but no discomfort after the jewelry was already in. My friends and I left with super cute nostril piercings! Highly recommend this studio. Very grateful and happy with the experience here.

"Regarding your wait time, management confirmed it was significantly shorter than stated" - attached are photos at 6:20pm on 4/11/26 aka the time i went in & upon arrival i asked to use the restroom, i took a selfie amongst other pics & the date & time can be found on each one. When leaving, i was asked for my information & to enroll in ur $5 off coupon which was at 8:16pm on 4/11/26. almost exactly two hours, not sure which manager looked into that but i did not randomly chose that number. Consultation - Tabitha asked via phone if i was given the option or made aware of threadless vs threaded jewelry, i was not nor was I given the option between the two. (Im assuming since you guys only carry threadless anyways.) Lacy said the piercings could get expensive when downsizing multiple sizes & when custom jewelry becomes a thing (she gave me an example of hers that have a wide flat back) which i understood. I was never told the jewelry on hand would be so flimsy or else i would have left with a spare set. or why wouldnt that be offered if its a known thing that theyre just going to break soon after? "our management team has reached out multiple times" - Tabitha called me on 4/20/26 at 2:03pm post yelp review & asking me to elaborate which i did. she apologized & said she would investigate & immediately followed up asking if i could "take down the yelp review" I initially agreed but im so glad i didnt. All that was asked of me was to pick a date & time & she will have someone replace the jewelry that broke at the el monte location but she would have to call me back & let me know if there was someone at that location who COULD do it & that she would call back. when she called back at 2:38pm 4/20/26 she stated ordering a threaded set would take 6-8 weeks & that she will order my downsize. we agreed on that solution & hungup. Then 4/28/26 Tabitha texts me & there was no solution so we could agree on so thanked her & left it at that (screenshots attached as well) "waived fees" - crazy cause you guys swear this is something special. when i get my nails done & one breaks theyre quick to fix it FOR FREE & not keep reminding me that breakage could happen nor badgering me that IM at fault for it/knew the risks. Theres no fee to waive if i want to put the jewelry in my own face for free which you guys denied me of because u didnt want to mail them to me. "we offered appointments at our other locations with free parking lots" - text attached of Tabithas convo but she definitely stated STREET parking, exactly how the LA location is so.. not sure where the "Convenience & Options" were. sorry it came to this Leo, maybe ask both sides next time instead of just listening to one.

I had to wait a year to get my appointment because of how talented Bryan Ramirez is. I walked in, very hyped up, with a tiny 3x4 old ID picture of my father. Bryan treated the image on his computer, expanded it, and kept in touch throughout the process. After a few visits, he carefully listened to my project vision, embraced it, and, most importantly, provided real feedback about size, positioning, and expectations. I have a few other tattoos from multiple artists, and I can confidently say the level of service and quality here is top notch. The previous artists weren't even close to this level of skill. The day I showed up for my session, I felt heard and taken care of. Bryan paused whenever I communicated that I needed a break, and the project was finished in a few hours. His attention to detail is incomparable. If you're searching for an experienced, skilled, detail-oriented tattoo artist, look no further. Contact Reservoir Tattoo Studio and speak with Bryan Ramirez, though I'm sure any artist linked to this studio is just as talented and professional. Can't wait to return for a future session.

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours.

He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him.
