I wanted to have a core memory with my Nephew by getting his ears pierced for him and we definitely got one! Claudia is fantastic, talented, warm and kind... did I mention super awesome. She helped my Nephew feel safe and in good hands. He trusted her immediately. He loves his pierced ears and is very happy with the results! Thank you North Hollywood Tattoos and thank you Claudia read more

Amazing service. Daniel was very honest and upfront about the placement of the tattoo and realistically how long they last. Made a few suggestions and decided to get two additional tattoos. Very professional and very clean. Highly recommend them. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Claudia. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel completely at ease with her professionalism, confidence, and obvious experience. I had triple helix piercings done along with other piercings that can definitely cause anxiety--but Claudia handled everything with such precision and calm that any nerves disappeared instantly. She was efficient and flawless in her technique. The piercings came out perfect--clean, symmetrical, and exactly what I wanted. You can tell she truly knows what she's doing; every movement felt intentional and expert. Beyond her skill, Claudia created an experience that felt safe, reassuring, and honestly empowering. I walked out not only loving my piercings, but feeling grateful I trusted the right person with my body. If you're looking for someone who is professional, experienced, gentle, fast, and genuinely exceptional, Claudia is it. Best piercing experience I've ever had--hands down. I will absolutely be back and recommend her to everyone. read more

It's official!!! I now have 14 tatts. Most are very small until now. This is my biggest one yet. They are addictive...like popcorn, you just keep popping one kernel after the other into your mouth. Lol. My first time at this studio via a referral from a gal who works at Mission Liquor. After looking at the artists on Instagram, my sis, daughter and I contacted Ely Carrera. *We DM'd her and she got back to us right away. We picked agreed on a day & time then sent her pics of what we wanted. When we arrived at the studio she greeted us and had our tattoos already drawn and waiting for our approval. Once we confirmed the design and placement we were ready to become her human canvas:) Ely was very professional, friendly and worked very closely on my design. She took her time to fill, shade, define and perfect my tattoo. We were all very impressed with her talent as a tattoo artist. She has been doing tattoos for 3 years. Her bother trained her and made her work her way up to "artist." (He is one of the owners of the shop) Ely is super talented - highly recommend booking with her. She has a wide variety of designs she has done and can do. Her prices are very reasonable! *The tattoo shop is to code. They sterilize everything properly *The inside is very clean with a bathroom, snacks & drinks for clients *Parking on the street is 2 hours *No Walk-Ins at this time *Go to their Instagram page and DM artist of choice directly. *Ely Carrera: insta @grandmadeathh Email: grandmadeathhtattoo@gmail.com read more

Woke up on my birthday wanting a small tattoo of my pup that passed away, Ely was there and her vibe is awesome. She was down for my idea and went right into it. Conversation flowed effortlessly & we connected on our love for animal care. So talented & kind hearted. I'm down the street so I'm excited to work with her again in the near future read more

Just got my back dimples pierced today by Claudia and she's is a Jem! I've had them pierced before twice in my life time and both times they rejected & they where crooked & I was told it was because my tattoo was crooked, she made sure to take her time and get them straight for me. She was very gentle and quick I was surprised that it wasn't as painful as the other times I've had them done. I'd say it was pain level of like 3/4 out of 10. I am very satisfied. I'll be going back to her for the rest of my dream piercing. I highly recommend getting pierced by Claudia and she's literally the sweetest and she explains everything! Also this is one of the only shops in Noho where they do dermal piercings because I called around. read more

I happened to randomly stumble upon Kathleen's work online, and I feel that it was our mutual admiration for the Dark Knight that led me to her. I instantly fell in love with her work and knew that I must get tattooed by her immediately. She is an absolute sweetheart and a true artist, whose talent goes beyond what she does with a tattoo gun. I am incredibly pleased with the work she did on my forearm, and I will definitely be returning for more! This was also my first time at the North Hollywood Tattoo Studio. Aside from the shop following proper COVID-19 protocols, their space was very clean. All the other artists were very nice, and overall, I loved the vibe of this place. read more

These are a couple of tattoos that I've gotten at this shop. All made by Kat. Who I randomly found on IG, and fell in love with her color work. I give her an idea, and she puts it together, and always makes it look good. I've come to this shop so many times, it's embarrassing that the owner remembers me, and I leave with a "see you next time". Thanks Daniel for being so welcoming. Claudia, and Steven are pretty awesome too. Depending on what kind of tat you're looking to get one of the artist in this shop can definitely take care of you. Or if you're looking for a piercing ask for Claudia. read more

Where do I start! This is the ONLY shop I will ever feel comfortable going to for many reasons... But two huge reasons... Steven and Kat! The talent that both of these artists posses is beyond amazing. Kat is a freakin genius when it comes to color saturation and creative designs, Steven is out of this world talented in everything he tattoos and his spooky aesthetic is my jam! They are both first class when it comes to consultation communications, technique, artistic prowess, creativity, collaboration and thorough follow up care instructions. They are both so sweet and make me feel cared for and heard! I will not trust my art to any one but Steven and Kat. In my mind I am a very lucky gal to have both of these amazing artists under one roof! I always feel safe when at the shop, because the artists hold themselves to a whole new level of sanitation procedures. They were above standards prior to covid, and now they even more strict...which I appreciate! read more

This place is lit! Chill vibes all around. My artist is Kathleen and I couldn't be happier with her work! I have about 20 tattoos done by her and have no intention of stopping! Im always impressed by the finished product! She prefers large, full color tattoos of all styles. She is friendly and respectful. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I have gotten 3 tattoos with Kathleen and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. The shop is really clean and I love seeing how each artist has their station decorated. They also really good about making you feel comfortable and following Covid-19 guidelines. Kat is such a kind hearted artist and really goes the extra mile to make sure you are comfortable through the the process. She checks in to make sure you okay and taking breaks when needed. She also is upfront about the tattoo healing process and lets you know colors will fade and if you see anything you feel is off to communicate with her and she will touch up if necessary. She also provides you with a tattoo after care card. I have nothing but positive things to say about Kathleen. She did two custom pieces and even added color to another tattoo I had. I 100% recommend Kat if you are looking for a color piece especially comic book or animated characters. There are also amazing black and white artists at North Hollywood Tattoo studio if you aren't really looking for a color piece. read more

Claudia is GREAT!, 5-Star service. Very patient and kind. Answered all of our questions and did an awesome job on my wife!!! We are super excited for the next piercing and cant wait to book Claudia again. The wife healed very well and we couldn't be any happier. GO CLAUDIA!!! read more

Love love love Claudia!! She was so gentle and patient with my 5 month girl and her ear piercing. She was so detailed with aftercare and which earrings are best for a baby/an adult. Highly recommend for any piercing. Shes been in the business over 30 years. Thank you Claudia! Much love. read more

REVIEW FOR PIERCER CLAUDIA ONLY I will follow Claudia anywhere she goes, and luckily for me she's nearby! The place is in a mellow little neighborhood and it's a cute and comfortable space w good vibes. Claudia gave me a dermal at another place and I came to this one for her to check up on it (no fault of hers) and give me a couple extra lobe piercings. She's so sweet and chill and real which is refreshing, easy to talk to and very quick. My dermal healed very fast (friends were shocked) no swelling, minimal bleeding and crusting. My lobe piercings seem to be following suit so far - minimal bleeding and swelling! Anyways Claudia is awesome and I will go to her and only her for all my piercing needs. Shop is so cute and the art I saw makes me want to go there for my next tatt as well. Thank you Claudia! read more

After I posted this review, Daniel reached out to me to try and fix the situation. The artist claimed she "never got my emails". But she clearly got the DM I sent her, knowing I was trying to reach her. After feeling like I was being ignored, I respectfully told Daniel I was no longer interested in a touch up by Kathleen, and he went out of his way to offer to do it himself for free. At first I agreed, but then I found out the artist(Kathleen) blocked me? Lol This was my second tattoo done by her, so obviously I respected and trusted her work! I just simply wanted a response, and a touch up after the 400$ I spent on this tattoo. But I guess her respect for me as a client wasn't mutual. I appreciate Daniel trying to fix the situation. I checked out his Instagram and his work is amazing!!! Although I did not get any work done by him, I would highly recommend him! I respect him for going out of his way to fix the issue. Thank you Daniel! read more

I had an amazing experience, from start to finish. The atmosphere is macabre, and coincidentally very much my jam. All the artists were kind, qualified, and overly hospitable. I even played classic N64 and sipped gatorade in the lobby while my wife got her tat. Then came mine, and Steven (IG: mourningmisery) was extremely communicative, as well as the process leading up to the day. He was patient as we 'trial and error'ed the preliminary design before starting, and he proactively helped problem-solve the issue. Once he started inking, he was considerate to my posture and my occasional need to adjust. The guy was professional and cool, all the way. I got a 35mm film strip looped around my lower leg and it's already healed nicely. Zero post issues and I'm damn glad I got it specifically from this location. I will definitely go to them again in the future. read more

Omg amazing service!! Claudia is the fricken best piercer, just got my second piercing from her, she is so experienced and always works with the client to make sure they get what they want. She also is so nice and fun to talk to, not to mention quick. As well as the piercing prices are super affordable compared to most places in my opinion. Great experience here! read more

This is definitely one of the best places to go to get a tattoo. I found Kat by chance on instagram and have been tattooed by her 4 times in 6 months. I'll soon be getting another tattoo by her. Kat is an amazing tattoo artist! She is professional, friendly, talented, and clean. The shop is located on a nice little street, not too busy. The shop is modest in size but most importantly is also clean as well. I love this place read more

This place is the best! Super clean, taking COVID precautions and regulations very seriously, and just overall...an awesome shop! Kat, in particular, is absolutely wonderful! She is my go-to artist and has done some of my favorite pieces! She is so incredibly talented and so easy to work with. She responds quickly to emails and will really try and work with your schedule. She listens to what you are asking for and always exceeds expectations. Can't wait to see her again! read more

I've gotten 5 tattoos by Kat and each one is absolutely perfect! She is so talented and I appreciate her tattooing clients with darker skin tones, because for some of y'all that's a struggle The shop itself is cozy and I love all the artwork on the walls. Love that they're masked up taking precautions when it comes to COVID. Overall had a great time, everyone is friendly and I can't wait to go back thank you Kat read more

Got about 4 tattoos done by Kathleen and they all came out amazing. I get asked about them all the time and the line work is the best I have seen. Will always come back to her and this shop.

Claudia is the best for piercings, she has done several of nieces piercings and recently pierced my 3 month old. She was very gentle and patient with my daughter. She explained the process before she pierced her ears which made me feel more at ease. read more

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted right away by the owner (Jeffrey) of the shop which is pretty amazing because a lot of owner's are too stuck up to even look your way. Secondly, they have a Nintendo game system so you can play while waiting to get tattooed and free candy in case your sugar level goes low while getting tattooed and plus free water! Just make sure to not set on the peanuts before you enter the shop because those are for the neighborhood squirrel. I have been here twice to get tattooed by Steven. Not only is he a talented tattoo artist but he's also pretty calm when tattooing you which is great for someone like myself who gets anxiety when being tattooed. He's energy helped mine to stay calm. You can give him ideas and he comes up with such mind blown tattoo designs, I just can't wait to get more from Steven. Plus if you like spooky horror artwork, Steven is the perfect tattoo artist for you! read more

There were several red flags when being pierced by claudia. starting off, she never checked my anatomy, and didn't disinfect the area. after that she proceeded to pierce my septum. it wouldn't go through so she pierced it again. i was given a mirror at the end of the session and realized that it was crooked. i was hopeful it was just swelling but contacted her and was told to remove it. she was willing to repierce me and i was down but after awhile i was uncomfortable getting it done for a third time. after telling her my concerns and asking for a refund, since i no longer have the piercing in my nose, she told me "it's a tattoo shop. we don't do refunds." as if I'm out of line for asking. i've been to several tattoo shops and have never had an issue like this. i also would never ask a tattoo artist for a refund since it's permanent but i don't even have the piercing anymore in my nose and it was done wrong TWICE. 100 dollars down the drain for not checking my anatomy properly, sending me home knowing she had pierced it incorrectly, and for not explaining any shop policies. crazy disappointing. read more

Was a walk-in yesterday. Jeff was amazing and patient and handled all my insecurities and whining with kindness and encouragement. Easy conversation. I hate pain. Like haaaaate it. Very low pain tolerance. This was my 5th tat. All relatively small in size. This is the first one I got with a little color in it. Love it. Very affordable price. I'll be back here again for my next tattoo for sure. Now to wait for the tenderness and swelling to subside. read more

I have over 20 tattoos from North Hollywood Tattoo and have been going there since 2016. Every artist there is amazing and top notch, but I highly recommend the owner Daniel (Danskyland_tattoo on instagram). He has done almost 2 sleeves for me, a chest piece, sternum, stomach, tight, leg, ankle... you name it. Daniel is professional, kind, flexible, always wants your tattoo to look the best, incredibly talented, and always top tier everytime. I am going to him for all the tattoos I have planned and as stated he's done probably over 20 tattoos for me. I also have gotten a piece from Kathleen Sanders (on Instagram) recently, who is also at the shop and the DETAIL and COLOR looks exactly like the Gamecube video game screenshot I wanted (which I was worried wouldn't be possible). ITS INSANELY amazing. She is incredibly professional, easy to work / talk, very knowledgable, and makes sure you are comfortable and get the best piece. This place is INCREDIBLY COVID safe, clean, pleasant, safe, easy to park at, and a great place to get your first tattoo or your 50th. I recommend everyone I know to go here and Daniel has tattoo'd a lot of my friends! All the artists are great and I can't wait to keep going back. (all the photos are from North Hollywood Tattoo, except the ones with the X's). read more

I was referred to Claudia for help after I got my nose pierced elsewhere and started to get a keloid. Before I even went to the shop she was kind enough to speak with me over the phone and go into detail as to why it happens and what I can do to prevent it from happening. It's been only one day after she changed my piercing and the keloid is already going away. She has over 30 years of experience and knows exactly what she's doing and talking about! Thank you for being the best Claudia! read more

Hands down, best tattoo shop (and artists) I have ever gone to. I got my first tatt ever from Jeffery when he was at Madison Tattoo shop. Now, 5 years later, I'm getting my sleeve done by him. Jeffery even had to fix some of my other tattoos that I had gotten from other artists. All the tattoo artists at this shop are incredible and I honestly would trust getting a tattoo from any one of them. Wouldn't go anywhere else to get my tattoos. Please GO HERE, YOU CAN THANK ME LATER! read more

All the tattoo artists are friendly, professional, and make you feel really comfortable. I've gotten tatted from several of the guys there but mainly from a nice guy named Daniel. He is very polite, respectful, and talented. He works fast and I've loved every piece that he has done on me. I would highly recommend him ! read more

I got accused of writing this review because someone asked me to... clearly you don't know me, I got some bs from danny about the heat of the moment etc, DOES NOT MATTER, YOU DO NOT TALK SH- ABOUT SOMEONE WHILE THEY ARE WORKING ON A CLIENT. also this comes after literally giving Claudia 3 maybe even 4 chances. So, Kat left this studio and I'm honestly really happy for her. She is an excellent artist and does not deserve the crap going on here. I previously left a 5star review because of her, but now my review goes down to 1 star. Firstly, Danny was a complete jerk to Kat while she was tattooing me. I also work in the service industry and if a colleague started talking **** in front of a client while I was working on them, I would be beyond livid. Completely unprofessional. Secondly, a few months prior I got my nose pierced by Claudia. 1) she was late due to a "flat tire" 2) my nose would not stop bleeding to the point where I almost went to the ER. She tried to say I must be on medication. Nope, I have had over 20 piercings in my life and I have never had that issue, and don't really appreciate getting blamed! 3) When I came in for other reasons I tried to schedule a jewelry change and she just never responded. Then 4) I tried last week to get a jewelry change for the 3rd time and she had a "flat tire" again. I call BS. Go see Kat elsewhere and F this place. read more

I can not recommend this shop enough!! Kathleen is an amazing artist. I was obsessed with her work and was so happy when I finally got the chance to get two pieces done by her. One of the pieces is a rework piece that she took from being something I wasn't happy with to one I absolutely love! She not only is an amazing artist but such a sweet person as well. She takes her time to make you feel comfortable throughout your whole appointment. Truly can't recommend enough!! read more

What can I say about this tattoo shop. I have been coming to this tattoo shop for about 5 + years now period when it was under different ownership and called another name. This is what one may call "My Home shop" because I have had most of my tattoos (And I have great number of them) done by every tattoo artist currently there. @davegrinds has done my chest and right arm 3/4 sleeve. I've know Dave for about 20 years. He has also tattooed other members of my family @deidgedunham has done a few "hybrid animals" some other unique designs on my thighs and hamstrings. Which are all original designs created by her. @danskyland_tattoo has also done quite a few original "Hybrid animal" designs on my upper legs as well. Which I may add are quite large in size @_miserymachine has is some what new to tattooing but is very talented and skilled. Steven has done 3 "Horror Movie Villians" tattoos on my lower legs. Smaller in size but packed full of detail. And last but far from least @theartofjeffery I have one tattoo from Jeffrey is serious amazing at "Black and grey" tattoos! I will get another tattoo be Jeffrey in the future. I always do recommend these artists and the shop to people asking me for advice on where to go to get tattoo. The shop is very clean very open and Airy with a homely feel to it!! read more
