    Iliana C.

    Hi guys! As an art lover, I'm proud to say I collected a very beautiful piece from Hollywood Vatican and beautifully done by my artist Diego @diegoalbanes_art I am honestly very amazed by the level and experience of this studio. Diego literally freehanded my idea of a floral vine around my arm so perfect and delicate. It even aesthetically flows so cute on my image! I was comfortable with good vibes, from consultation and also my tattoo session, to customer service and hospitality from everyone! Great Music! Fun escape and environment!... I genuinely can say, go here! we should always get our tattoos done professionally, and they should always be beautiful. Thanks and good vibes to my artist Diego, Freddy Negrete, Vince and Gator All of you are amazing and so talented!

    I absolutely love my ear tattoo, Dejah did an amazing job and it was personalized to my ear. The shop had a great atmosphere, everyone was so friendly and wanting to see what everyone was doing and complementing everyone's work and the shop was super clean and professional. I will definitely be coming back here

    If you are looking for a tattoo shop let this be the one. Not only do they have talented artists but the hospitality is unmatched. Everyone working there makes you feel right at home and is willing to make the experience better. Shout out to Gator for providing me numbing cream as I struggled with back to back sessions for my piece. I want to personally thank Vinnie for also going above and beyond to help me make it through my 15 hour tattoo session. He made sure If needed anything he was right there to provide it. Last but not least to my tattoo artist Burak... thank you. You see the picture and skill set so not much more needs to be said there. Incredible work.

    I got my first tattoo about 2 years ago. I specifically wanted fine line work done and I had been…read moresearching around for fine line artists that fit my style and would work with me. I was actually referred to THS by multiple people so I looked into them and found Endry. His work really impressed me and my boyfriend who was also a tattoo artist back in the day. So I booked an appt to have a very simple roman numeral tattoo done under my collarbone. The booking process was actually very easy and the shop worked with me. There's a $200 minimum and there's a $100 deposit that you Venmo before the appointment is made. I honestly found the booking process super smooth and easy. If you can find it, there's metered parking right in front of the shop which is super convenient. I honestly love the vibe of this place. Endry was so kind and welcoming and made my first tattoo the best experience it could've been (also want to note I have a needle phobia so this is a legit compliment). I have since seen Endry multiple times for more extensive work. Endry is truly an incredible artist who really puts care and consideration into each piece. You can tell he really cares about his craft and I have so much respect for that. Working with him has been a pleasure and I look forward to my next session with him. I actually recently got my forearm done with a beautiful fine line floral wrap and I am still in awe at the photorealistic detail in the flowers. I found my artist and my place and I would 100% recommend going here whether it's your first or you're looking to continue on in your tattoo journey.

    Honestly, just not a great Tattoo. I sent them the original picture and told the guy it doesn't…read moreneed to be exactly like that, we can style it a little bit. Showed him a few AI examples and he had me send him one that he/we thought looked cool. I didn't really put a ton of thought into it just figured "sure. Do your thing with it." I probably should've noticed the AI flaw in the stencil, but, as my regular artist pointed out, he definitely should have noticed, especially since he had the original photo. A little miscommunication but oh well. On top of that it's really really light so I'm going to have to have my normal artist fix it and touch it up. I wasn't even going to leave a review because it's partly my fault, and I don't really care that much, but like my normal artist pointed out, he's supposed to notice these kind of things. Then I realized the only reason I don't really care is because it's somewhere not normally visible. If it was on my arm I would be horrified. Other than that, they were cool, the booking process was easy, and reasonably priced. Also the shop was super clean which is important to me so 3-stars

    I have three tattoos, and got them all here. Each tattoo is done by a different artist... Daniel,…read moreMartin, and Ray. It's a super clean place, very professional, And there are great artists! I definitely recommend. My first tattoo here was about 10 or 11 years ago, and my last one was maybe 5 years ago? I hope this place is still going strong!

    I just had my 20th and 21st piercings done at Body Electric and I have to say, Brian is hands-down…read morethe best piercer I've ever gone to. He was warm, patient and incredibly professional. He walked me through everything in such a calm, confident way that the whole experience felt easy. His technique is outstanding. This is the first time after all my piercings that I woke up the next day with absolutely no pain. ZERO! Both placements are perfect and you can see the care he puts into every detail. I've been pierced all over LA. Yes, Brian is on the pricier side, but you truly get what you pay for. The quality, precision and overall experience make it more than worth it. I won't go anywhere else. He also did my teen's belly piercing and it came out flawless. She even said her ears hurt more than her belly. If you have a child who wants their ears, nose or belly pierced, I would take them to Brian without hesitation. He's a parent himself and has a natural, easy way with kids that makes them feel comfortable right away. I'd recommend him to anyone, whether it's your first piercing or your twentieth. The jewelry selection is on point, and he even offered for us to come back so he could clean our jewelry for us. That's real five-star service. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

    I will first say that my tattoo came out very well despite the poor customer service and rudeness I…read morefaced. These guys know what they're doing, but the bedside manner needs a revamp. When looking into the tattoo I was considering getting I asked the artist for a price estimate. He gave me an incredibly vague answer and left me uneasy to ask further. As though I was bothering him. I then picked a tattoo option from one of their designs and he printed stencils. He proceeds to tell me because I "didn't ask about the price for this one" it will be $150 instead of $200. So keep that in mind if you brave this place. I then went to stand on a box for my tattoo to be stenciled and was rudely corrected on my posture. It wasn't "can you please put your hands to the side" it was pure annoyance that I wasn't perfectly positioned with minimal instruction. The tattoo is on my ankle and when I went to put my foot up on the table while wearing my shoe I was no joke SCREAMED AT. I asked previously about my shoe and thought the answer was it was ok, especially since the table was wrapped for sanitary purposes. Once I set up at the table he began to tattoo me. I was scolded for moving (I understand the frustration) but it was involuntary. Mind you as an ankle tattoo this one was going to be painful and I was aware. The other artist working even defended me because it wasn't intentional. I was repeatedly told I would "fuck up your tattoo" and "it's hard to make straight lines when you move." Like no shit, but also there was no communication on how long, what he was doing, etc. so I was just doing my best. I repeatedly I apologized and was deep breathing and doing everything in my power to stay still and make it easy. I swear he just wanted to torture me. It was almost pathetic. Anyways, all this to say the tattoo came out great but the experience was horrendous. Really upsetting and think this place could do a lot better if they were kinder to their customers. Update per Rocco's reply': Not asking to be coddled, just to be treated with human decency. Have had plenty of pleasant tattoo experiences elsewhere. Your response speaks for itself. Also he wasn't even in the room when I was snapped at...

    I've been here plenty of times and have loved this place from my very first visit. The atmosphere…read moreis always kind and welcoming, and the work is consistently exceptional from every single piercer. Most recently, I worked with Cat and Hernan. I especially wanted to shout out Hernan for my navel piercing. He did a phenomenal job. He was communicative and completely open to my requests. It's been about three days now, and I'm honestly surprised by how little soreness and discomfort I've had. I'm a bigger guy with a stomach, so I was a little concerned about how a navel piercing would feel, especially since it's a high movement area. But after the first 12 hours, there is very little soreness, and I'm already noticing less discomfort when I move. I think a lot of that has to do with Hernan's skill and attention to placement. He checked the placement while I was standing, sitting, and laying down to see how my stomach and navel moved and sat in each position. That level of care really stood out to me and should be standard but isn't everywhere which is why I always go here. For any plus size person wondering if a navel piercing is possible or will heal well, it definitely will! It's more about your individual anatomy than your size, but having a knowledgeable piercer who understands anatomy of all sizes makes a huge difference. Everyone here is great. I just wanted to give Hernan a special shoutout for this recent work. Thanks!
