I've had multiple tattoos and piercings done here and have referred several friends as well. I want to give a quick shoutout to Iran for his solid tattoo work, always professional and consistent. A huge thank you to Joel. He's the reason I'll be coming back, and only for him. He's knowledgeable, clean, and makes the whole experience comfortable every time. Unfortunately, the overall customer service has been disappointing. When inquiring about flash tattoo sizes, the responses -- especially from whoever runs the Instagram account -- came off unprofessional and unnecessarily sarcastic. It's frustrating to feel dismissed when you're a loyal customer who has spent money here and made several referrals. Joel and Iran are the ones creating positive experiences. Without them, I wouldn't consider returning. read more

Joel is the absolute best piercer, he has the best customer service, he makes you feel comfortable with the whole experience. He has pierced my oldest daughter several times. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her. The shop is super clean and sanitized.. There are a few tattoo artist on site as well, there is about 4 different styles of art work that you can see on the walls. read more

Getting my first piercing and I've got my friend with me for moral support. Called in to see about meeting their piercer. They said he'd be available at 2pm. We show up and he's not there, weird energy in the shop. There are just two tattoo artists on-site at the time hanging out upstairs. They don't come down so we have to shout up to them from the shop entrance to explain that we are looking for Joel the piercer, it's my first time, and I'm considering getting a cover-up tattoo etc etc. The guy recommends we wait while the reasonable lady recommends we come back later. No follow-ups on the cover-up tattoo bit so we dip then come back an hour later. We get back and Joel there but they take my friend first to get her piercing and don't let me come back to see the process. So I'm waiting through this whole process and there are tattoo artists available but not really approaching me or asking me anything despite me going through their art books. Whatever, right? It's my turn to get pierced and then the guy tattoo artist from before zooms down the steps and starts chatting up my moral support (he approached her ass immediately smh lol). The tattoo dude vanishes again before my piercing is done. The whole time Joel is talking to me calmly, keeps me distracted with some lowkey life lessons and relationship advice disguised as stories. If Joel were a doctor you could say he has the optimal bedside manner. He's very knowledgeable, clean, precise, and chill. He even recommended a bomb creole restaurant to check out later. Oh, and even his reason for running late was extremely valid. Definitely left a tip for him too considering how good his prices on piercings are. If the rating was for just Joel it'd be a 5/5 But since the rating is for the shop I have to give it 2/5 because fr every bit of my experience with the shop (excluding Joel) could've been better. Especially when a mf lets it be known that they're a first-timer. There was a lot of space and opportunity to talk about the tattoos to both of us when we were first waiting for Joel. Then again when I was waiting for my piercings but nah, just weird vibes from everyone but Joel. 2/5 read more

If you're looking for a new artist and a rad shop, look no further this is the spot! read more

I've been meaning to write this review for awhile now soooo without further delay, here we go... This shop kicks ass and the people here are pretty alright too (haha). I've been tattooed twice now by Danny and I can't go on enough about how amazing my tattoos have come out. So amazing in fact, that I'm going back tonight for another! This shop has real artists, not dudes who pick up a machine and grab a piece of flash of the wall. By far the cleanest shop I've been to since moving down here. Decent sized shop, a number of stations, nice selection of flash and most importantly portfolios for each artist out in plain view. Just because someone tattoos in a shop, many people think they're legit..... Until they're on an episode of tattoos nightmares. I know I'm in good hands with Danny and as long as he's tattooing, he'll be the only artist I go to. They're even conveniently located right next to a little liquor store, ya know, for green tea & chocolate! read more

Went to get a quick tattoo done by Brittney "eskeleto". She took care of my girlfriend and I and was professional throughout the whole process. She explained everything clearly and made sure we were comfortable before starting. I've had 3 other artists who've done work on me and I'll just say that she has the softest touch. Happy with the results and looking forward to my next tat with her. Definitely recommend 10/10 read more

Been coming here for the past three years and also my daughter has been coming here for work. The tattoo artist that was doing the work moved away and referred us to her co worker Britney. She does very good work and she is very friendly and helpful. I will keep coming with her for sure. She also takes walk-in. So if you want some good work done hit her up. read more

My favorite place to get tattooed! I've had 5+ pieces done by Brittney who started as an apprentice and has now gone pro. Her style and lines are so clean and consistent that I can't go anywhere else now that I've come to expect this quality. Her art is beautiful! She's drawn up pieces for me in less than an hour from me telling her my idea to it being translated to paper then to skin. Her flash tattoos are to die for, I'm extremely picky and I've fallen in love with multiple pre drawn designs. Flawless work all around and I refuse to go anywhere else, thank you always Brittney! :) read more

Amazing artistry by Danny Nguyen! Takes the time to really bring visions to life! Tattooing, artistry, color design and creativity level is above many! Extremely happy with the progress on my leg sleeve! Each session I am made as comfortable as possible and can't wait for many more tattoos I will get from him! read more

Been coming here since January 2014 to get tatts by Morgan Deeble and she is just the best!!! You can tell her what you want or even if you don't exactly know what you want but have an idea of kinda like what you're into, etc. and she'll put it together for you. You will not regret it! I've had 9 tatt piece done by Morgan already and we're now working on my 10th piece...a back piece...she will tie it up with the two upper and the lower back piece that I already have there. All my pieces are unique exactly how I want them. She is very creative and always goes beyond my expectation. She also travels to other countries, goes on tours, and tatt conventions where people are already making appointments with her just to get some work done by her. Everyone at The Original Tattoo shop are sooo nice, professional, and treats you like family. I'm soooo happy I found an artist who caters to my every tattoo needs, answers any questions I have, knowledgeable, and helps put my ideas & wants together with the results soooo amazing!!! For something permanent going to our body, we should ONLY go to the best and yes, Morgan is the best!!! read more

After researching a couple places around here, I chose Original Tattoo because I liked all their work the best. When I called to make an appointment, the guy on the phone said it was best to just come in and talk to someone, so that's what I did. I hopped in my car and drove the 8 minutes over there. When I walked in, someone greeted me right away and asked what they could do for me. I told him I was just looking for some script on my arm, to be done tonight if possible but I could always come back tomorrow. Jon Daniel stepped up and said he could do that for me. After going over exactly what I wanted, I made an appointment to come back the next day at one. When I came back the next day at 12:45, he was there finishing up the stencil. It took some time to get the size just right, and a bit of patience to place it on my arm without it curving too much. I wanted my text in a straight line, which is harder to set up then you think! I appreciate his attention to detail. A lot of other artists would have tried it twice and just called it good enough. This was my third tattoo, and quite far my most painless. As a matter of fact, it barely felt like anything until the last word, which was just on the edge of my inner elbow. It came out perfect! I'm so happy. I can't wait to schedule another appointment with him to touch up the tattoo on my left arm. read more

I recently got a new piece on my side. I couldn't be happier. it looks awesome, very clean script. I never once got the feeling that I was being looked at or touched inappropriately which I've actually encountered at a couple other places in the past. Chatted with my artist as he worked and it was over before I knew it. Parking was a breeze. I got a spot right in front of the shop. Plus, that guy Benji is pretty sexy. I'd go back just for him ;-) read more

Great shop, the artists here are cool down to earth people and very talented. Came here for advice on my tat, spoke with an artist there named Danny and he was really helpful explaining all my options before setting up an appointment. Came back and got a quarter sleeve done in a few hours. Everyone said it'd be painful but I barely felt anything and was able to show off my new tat that same evening. Go see my man Danny, he also helped me fix a couple of older ugly tats I had. They also do piercings here. read more

Amazing artist, clean shop! Well worth the drive to come here! Will be coming back really soon for another tattoo!!

It's been a couple years since I had Danny Nguyen work in some ink on me, and to date it was by far one of the best decisions of my life. I provided him with an image of a Hindu god, Ganesh. It had been years since I had gotten my last tattoo and completely forgot about the level of pain involved. The image was very detailed and Danny was able to get every last detail in it. He was very professional and took his time to make sure it was exactly what I expected. It took a bit longer than originally expected and hurt quite a bit, but worth every painful minute of it. I'm ready for another soon, just need to figure out exactly what I want, but there is no one else I would consider going to besides Danny. read more

Reuster is amazing. My tattoos have come out crisp and clean. I got one from him six years ago that is still great and my new one is breath taking. Not alot of artist in the world that can do the precision work that he does. His work is worth all the money you spend and all the time in the chair. Plus he's just a really cool guy with no tatitude. read more

Original Tattoo - Fresh batman tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Original Tattoo is one of the cleaner shops I have visited and the staffs friendliness is on par with 85% of the shops I have visited out there. I notice a lot of tattoo shop reviews "in general" are a bit on the harsher side. A tattoo shop is a place where you can be real and hang out. Employees shouldn't have to pretend to be overly nice or slave over customer service. I think of tattoo shops much like bars, ya go in for one thing and one thing only. Do you really need hand holding? If so, maybe a tattoo isn't for you? When everyone in the shop is working with the gun in hand, it's not always convenient for them to look up from what they are doing. So forgive them for not addressing your highness the minute you walk in the door. Sometimes when you walk in a tattoo shop it can take a few minutes to be acknowledged. I hate to sound artsy but they ARE creating something permanent on your body. It's considerate to let the artist get to a comfortable spot where they can stop, at which point they can address you. My friend got work done by Monkey and I was worked on by Jay. In fact, I got my whole back done and Jay put in close to 40 hours (one session was worth 7 hrs). We are both happy and my friend said he will be going back to add to it. My next tattoo will also be back with Original Tattoo. Who goes to a tattoo shop for the customer service? You're going for the artwork. If you want to be spoon fed, skip the tattoo and go to Starbucks so you can order your skinny upside down frothy latte like my 115lb girlfriend ya pansy! It's a Tattoo shop people, relax a little. Don't walk into a place like this expecting to be treated like a princess. Real shops aren't all smoke and mirrors like LA Ink and the likes in Hollywood. This is a real shop with real artists where ya come in, sit down and get stuck. read more

When I first turned 18 I was going to get my tattoo at a shop called Big Daddy's Tattoo. I made the appointment and even called the day before to confirm it...But no one showed up. So then I stopped by Original Tattoo and honestly was so happy that Big Daddy lacked in customer service because then I got a great tattoo done by Monkey. It healed really nice and I never got attitude from anyone. Overall I think Original Tattoo is a great place to get a tattoo read more

Went to see Abraham, we are out of town from colorado and wanted to get a souvenir while here, he did a great job and was super chill. We were on a tight schedule so he offered to go in 2 hours early before opening to get our tattoos started. By far the best tattoo I have ever gotten. The tattoo took longer than expected but was completely worth it. read more

After having two horrible tattoo experiences, it took me years to find a tattoo artist for a cover up I wanted. I saw Danny's work that he did on a friend and I knew that was the artist for me. Not only is Danny friendly and professional, but he does amazing work with great details. Everyone that see's my tattoo can't believe that it is a cover up and they always comment on how it looks more like an art piece than a tattoo! The prices are extremely fair... you pay for what you get. read more

Christina is a great tattoo artist. She's done a handful of my tattoos and is 100% pro. She gives worthy feedback and won't let you walk out without being completely satisfied. I trust her with my skin and I'm amazed at the work that she does. Ask for her! You won't be disappointed. read more

I get work done from Danny Nguyen. Dude is badass with his art work. I always get compliments on my sleeve which was a cover up. I don't get color done cuz I'm black as shit but I've seen his work and it's some real art of a wide range. Check him out and the shop is chill people in there are pretty cool. There is a seafood place at the corner that make some bomb tacos! read more
