The staff is welcoming and attentive, both over the phone and in person. The studio is clean and includes a space to rest in the reception area while you wait. 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. Gratitude. read more

Bryan and I went to high school together, so it's amazing to see how successful he's become and the incredible quality of work he continues to create. He's a great person and an amazing artist. Thank you for tattooing me, Bryan! It was truly a pleasure, and I'm so happy with your work. read more

It was my first time here and I just wanted to get some small lil babies done by my dear friend Mia. She is so talented and I've been getting artwork commissioned by her here and there and have a few other small tattoos from her Her line work and attention to detail is amazing. Everyone at the shop was really nice too! The vibes were immaculate and the artists do this thing where they show all the other artists their finished pieces and I thought that was so cute. Her rate is 150/hr so I would book that appointment before her rates go up!!!!! Thanks Mia love u!!! read more

I messaged Brian late last night regarding a simple piece to commemorate my father in law. This piece was a simple yet extremely important one for my wife. This is was for my wife and to commemorate the passing of her dad. A very important man in her life, mine and my kiddos. The care and attention to detail to ensure this piece was exactly what we wanted, his signature. Branden did an amazing job on the piece. HOWEVER Reservoir is more than just a tattoo shop. I have been raised around tattoo artists my entire life. Brian the shop owner and I actually know a lot of the same pioneers in this industry. So as I said this shop isn't just a tattoo shop. The artists here come with history, talent and quality. True artist in the craft of tattooing. It was an absolute pleasure meeting Brian, Branden and the rest of the crew here! read more

Bryan Ramirez and the crew down at Reservoir Tattoo Studios are putting the "art" back in "tattoo artist." From the figure drawing they host on some weekends (see the website's landing page) to Bryan's clay sculptures and paintings throughout the shop--don't miss the one he did of his grandmother in Mexico, these guys are bringing some traditional training to tattoo art. Bryan squeezed me in for a forearm tattoo yesterday, and the experience was great. Despite the appreciation for the "old masters," the shop was modern and clean. The vibe was warm and upbeat. The other artists at the shop were curious about each other's clients and work and came in and out of conversations easily. Bryan, the shop owner and a fantastic artist, was easy to work with and personable. Our discussion during the sitting ranged from his life growing up in Echo Park and the cost of living in the city (of course) to plein air painting, color theory, and developing the role of AI in tattooing. I'll definitely revisit Bryan or one of the other great artists at Reservoir for my next piece. read more

My boyfriend and I just got our tattoos yesterday with John and Sam! They are an absolute master of precision and detail. The vibe is relaxed yet professional, we felt really welcomed! The consultant was super helpful and helped me create my idea to life better than expected! Not only did they listen, they made artistic suggestions that took our designs to a whole new level. Steady hand, clean work and place. So if you're looking for a place that treats tattooing like a true art form, whose attention to detail is unmatched please go to Reservoir Tattoo. Thank you John Paul & Sam!! We will definitely be coming back. read more

Valentino is the absolute best! We brought my 9yr old daughter in to get her ears pierced, and her report was that "it didn't even hurt!" Valentino was so gentle, hygienically prepared and thorough (not to mention good with kids!) Her ears were great for 3 months, and when one got infected we brought her in - he treated it spectacularly, and it healed within 4 days! We were scared we'd have to let it close it up, but his directions and cleansing treatment did the trick. 100% recommend, we love Valentino! read more

It's been a couple weeks since I got my first tattoo and I'm so pleased with the result. Thank you Ruben for taking your time to create exactly what I wanted and in such a short amount of time. The discomfort was so minimal and definitely worth it. I followed all the instructions I was given for aftercare and haven't had any issues, so I'm very happy about that. I was so nervous about choosing the right tattoo artist for my first tattoo but when I met with Ruben I felt at ease and confident that he would do a great job and he did. Thank you again! read more

There's a reason they have 5 stars!! My friends and I happened upon Reservoir Studios. My best friends wanted to buy me a tattoo for my birthday and because it was an impromptu gift, we were trying to find a tattoo studio whose a.) Yelp was solid and b.) had availability. Just as we were about to lose hope, we spotted Reservoir. Not only were they available, but I was told Cruz was a pro at single needle. I felt like the luckiest person ever, it was my birthday after all. Cruz was meticulous, placing the tattoo a few times until he was absolutely sure it was perfect. And it was. Cruz and the rest of the shop were extremely welcoming and talented as hell! read more

I was able to book a session with Michael Padilla and couldn't be happier with the piece I received. I got a manga panel of Guts from Berserk as a tribute piece and it was a great experience. Padilla was able to take my idea and make a great piece of art. He was respectful, talented and a pleasure to work with. The work station and entire facility was very clean. With Covid still being a concern everyone had ample distance and all necessary precautions were taken. All of the staff was extremely nice and helpful. I would come back and get more work and recommend others to as well. read more

Cuatro is super amazing! I had some lettering done by him and I couldn't be happier. He's super professional and has a very light hand. The lettering was done on my finger over 4 months ago and it hasn't pulled out or faded. My friend got a tattoo by him as well and same praise all around. Also as a woman it's really important to me to have an artist who I feel SAFE going to. No creepy vibes, just talent and professionalism! 11/10 would recommend. Thanks again Cuatro! Will be booking again soon! :) read more

BEST shop in Los Angeles. This shop has it's own unique vibe and style. This is a shop where no matter who walks through their door you get treated like family. Each of these artists and the owner has a unique style and creativity. Main person I'm leaving this review for is Valentino. Valentino did several piercings for my bestfriends and I. The more we spoke with Valentino I learned he does color tattoos. When I pitched him my idea for a leg piece he took all of my ideas and ran with it. Mentioned to him how I wanted it to be unique with a challange to stay away from the traditional rose tattoos. Valentino provided me mutliple layouts and color ideas that best fit my leg and skin tone. I tried to keep from posting pictures of my leg until it was completely finished but I can't keep this beautiful piece hidden no longer. This piece is such a conversation starter when I'm out and about. Approached frequently to ask about my leg piece and permission to look closely at the details. Mention to them Valentio at Reservoir Tattoo Shop is the arist of this amazing piece. I always provide them with his Instagram page, the shops Instagram page and provide them information to contact the shop. We started this leg piece before the pandemic and recently started scheduling sessions again. I'm thankful for Valentino's flexibility to scheduling my tattoo sessions around my life, work and school schedule. Highly recommend Valetino for you're next piece or piercing. Stay tuned for more pictures as we continue to complete this masterpiece. read more

This tattoo shop is a hidden gem! I got my first tattoo here back in 2017 by Jerry, who did an amazing job on my inner forearm piece of the crucification. Fast forward a few years and now I find myself getting the rest of my arm filled in by Bryan , who coincidentally trains at the same golds gym I attend. It was during one of these run ins that I approached him about potentially getting another piece done and he immediately invited me in for a consultation and booked on his soonest availability. I am beyond pleased with my archangel tattoo and I'm loving phase 1 of my lion/lamb shoulder piece . I also have plans of getting a sibling tattoo done by Brian and Jerry or any of the artists here . I trust them all! I can tell they are constantly working on their craft and putting themselves out there with their private artwork, ideas and paintings etc . The amount of compliments I received with the tattoos received here speak to the quality of work they provide. To this day , I still have people compliment me on my first tattoo and I will forever be grateful to having a such an amazing first time experience. Lastly, the vibes music and after care recommendations are top notch here . read more

I recently reached out to one of the tattoo artist at this location. His name is Brian, and from the beginning it was such a great experience. I reached out to him through his Instagram, based on the great work that he has shown in his portfolio. The location is a little ways out from where I normally go but the studio is very clean. It's a great vibe. Very cool aesthetic .Brian was very patient and understanding in what exactly I want in a tattoo and how I wanted the placement. He also gave me some great feedback on how we can make sure my dream comes together.very respectful and nice guy. I'm currently finishing up a piece with him 10 out of ton of experience. I have definitely recommended a lot of friends and family members to Brian. read more

Excellent quality of work Rocket is the best. His patient and makes you feel so comfortable he listens and doesn't get aggravated if you get undecided or keep on changing your mind on any details you want to change or add to your tattoo. For having my first tattoo with him he made the experience perfect and I couldn't be more happier with the outcome of my tattoo. I appreciate him understanding how important my tattoo meant to me I'll definitely be back with him for my next tattoo. read more
