Went to Jason to get a letter tattoo on my hand. I've gotten tattoos before but this one hurt extremely bad in the process. Figured maybe it was the chosen spot. No, he took my skin completely off. I tried getting a hold of him, no response. My tattoo still hurts till this day. The ink is starting to look blown out. I'm so unhappy as this is permanently on my hand. Very noticeable, I can't even hide it. Let's pray it doesn't get infected. read more

Appreciate the attention to my request for the tattoo, turned out to be a real piece of art above my right ankle. The butterfly is beautiful and always there! Thank you for the patience with my sensitivity and paying attention to my request. The numbing cream helped too! (I am deadly afraid of needles) Again thank you, hope to meet again some other place.

Koji was so nice about helping me get my first tattoo, and it really wasn't as bad and painful as I'd imagined it and he didn't even take too long because I was getting a small piece. If you ever need to get a tattoo in Harbor area, this place right here is the best place to get one. read more

I just recently got work done here by Mario, who is an EXTREMELY talented, professional, and down to earth artist. I wanted a dreamcatcher tattoo on my hip/thigh. He listened to what I wanted as well as added his own style to it. It came out dope and way better than I imagined. He freehanded the feathers and arranged it in a way that complimented the shape of my tree shakers haha Some of my friends have also got work done by him. The dedication and detail put into each piece is amazing. If you want a large detailed piece done, he's your guy! The shop is pretty new. It can be hard to find at first but it's right where Anaheim ends on Western Ave. Park on the street. The shop is small but very clean, has lots of personality and artwork. Prices are not too bad either! Also check out the other artists, Ernie and Primo! read more

My Old Tattoo Parlor - Tattoos done by Primo - Tattoo Near Me - Lomita, California

Most tattoo shops in SoCal have one thing in common. Attitude! They act like you should feel privileged to have them ink you, ESPECIALLY if you are a white male in your 40's. NOT this place. The entire staff was friendly from the start. I walked in to have several random tats tied together in one sleeve, but didn't know what I wanted. Ernie came up with a plan and three sessions later, it looks AMAZING! He did it all by freehand and the shading is some of the best i've seen (and I've been tattooed by people who are on TV). Oh, and a very light hand, too; almost no pain at all! The other work I saw being done was also fantastic. It's clear that all of the artists here are very talented- you can't go wrong. Bottom line is that this place is clean, professional, friendly, and the rates are good as well. If you want some ink but don't want to deal with the arrogant pricks in this area,come to this shop and see Ernie (or any of the other guys). you WON'T be disappointed! read more

My experience here was so amazing. I came here to get my first tattoo done by Primo and his work is so incredible! He was quick and I hardly felt any pain. I get faint around needles and blood but Primo was so nice and understanding when I needed to take a break. He had a great attitude as did everyone else in the shop. You can tell that they really love what they do. My tattoo came out beautifully. It had a lot of personal significance and I'm so glad I trusted Primo with the job. I'll definitely be coming here for future work and recommend this shop! I can't thank Primo enough. read more

The shop is clean and the people there are warm and friendly. I went there to get a rosary on the ankle, it's supposed to be one of the most painful area to get tattoo on, but Erie made it very tolerable. Most importantly the tattoo looks amazing!

Carlos Vargas is the man. I have a sleeve in progress from him and every session I am blown away at his talent. Whether it's realism, traditional, script, whatever the style Carlos never ceases to amaze me with his attention to detail. He is very professional and precise with his work, as well as being very humble and friendly. I can't wait to see the final product of my full arm. Would recommend any day. read more

Carlos Vargas, what can I say that hasn't been said already. This guy is genuine, humble, cool, works with what you desire within best of his abilities and comfort feels like home when being tattooed by Carlos. His realism tattoos are aesthetically awesome as the rest of his artwork. He can execute any style you ask for and he's always up for any challenge you give him. I'd definitely recommend everyone and anyone to drop by, sail through his artwork, and get tattooed by him. read more

My Old Tattoo Parlor - EAP "Alone" tattoo. - Tattoo Near Me - Lomita, California

Damn am I glad I found this place! Wait, wait, I'm getting ahead of myself! I was in a Cycle Gear store a couple months back and whole standing in line for a purchase, I noticed the dude in front of me had some solid tat work on his legs and arm. After finishing his purchase I pulled the guy aside and inquired about the work. He directed me to Earnie at My Old Tattoo Parlor! I immediately checked out my old friend Yelp and found that the not only was this shop already on Yelp with a high rating, but I drive by this place on Western everyday on the way to work. It's hard to miss the custom chopper or hot rod that's always parked out front. I went in, asked for Earnie and was greeted by a friendly artist who was ecstatic to begin some work on me after I ran my ideas by him. I have since had two sessions with Earnie and can't stress enough how talented this guy is! This my third tattoo shop I've had work done at although they are by far the most inexpensive ($100/hour), their work is just as phenomenal as the much more expensive shops. In addition to Earnie's talent, he's extremely down to earth, the whole shop is friendly and inviting and most importantly they are committed to giving you exactly what YOU want... Not all shops recognize this! Check them out and ask for Earnie, this dude is legit! read more

I cannot stress how solid this parlor is. All artists are fantastic. Really chill atmosphere. I will never go to another parlor. Koji is my favorite. But like I said, all artists are superb. Come in and get inked! read more

My 1st time I got ink i wasn't 100% happy, but after Primo did some magic I am a happy inked lady!!
