    Very clean and customer service oriented! This was the first half of my first tattoo. Love it!!!

    After this, Lantz added three colors to create a chrome effect that is stunning

    I moved away from my previous tattoo artist, and so I decided to find a new artist. Several people at my gym all suggested Lantz. I talked to him online and felt like I had a really good rapport, so I made an appointment. When I got there, I discovered that we had similar taste in music, art and hot rods. We talked about what I wanted and my "long term plan" and got a tattoo that exceeded my expectations. So I went back to get the next one only a month after the first and was rewarded with a tattoo that absolute strangers comment upon. Very excited to get the rest of my tattoos done by Lantz!

    My perfectly beautiful tattoo!

    Awhile back, a friend of mine got a really cool  tattoo of a fox on his arm.  I asked him where he had it done.... Lantz Huston, ShoeBox Tattoo.   I had been to different music/dance events and had actually met and seen Lantz  several times before but I never knew that he was a tattoo artist! I had been meaning to get a tattoo in remembrance of my mom and dad for the longest time and figured why not have Lantz do it.  I was a little nervous going alone to someplace I hadnt been before and went with someone I really didn't know that well but once I walked through the door,  he and Melissa quickly put me at ease. It was a great visit and I was very impressed by Lantz' professionalism, friendliness, and skills!  My jaw dropped as soon as I saw his rendering of my dream!  He totally got what i had envisioned! End result was beautiful!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE my tattoo!

    I met Lantz for a consultation in January of 2022. I wanted to pay tribute to my first baby and Lantz did that in such a way that I feel like he is still here with me. Since my first tattoo with him in February of 2022, I now have 7 tattoos from him! He has since tattooed my best friend, my husband, my mom and my coworkers daughter. He Provides a comfortable, patient, and non judgmental environment. He is the only person I trust to put ink on my body.

    I got a tattoo from him back in April and he is so sweet and funny and cool and I looooooovvvvvveeeeee my work so much. I have lived in LA for 12 years and hadn't been able to find an artist I vibed with. He was incredible. Great work. If you're looking. Look no further. This is your guy.

    Lantz is awesome. Very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. I wanted an all vegan tattoo and he was completely transparent about all of the products he used. He kept up communication with me throughout the process of what to expect, how to treat the tattoo after the fact, and even got me water when I started feeling faint from the pain (what can I say, it was a foot tattoo). Not to mention, he did incredible work. I'm so happy with my tattoo. It's still healing but it looks great. The space is also very clean, comfortable, and he had great covid procedures. I felt completely safe. I would 10/10 recommend.

    Lantz is an amazing tattoo artist! He did my haunted mansion hatbox ghost tattoo below and I can't wait to have him do more work on my arms. I'm super scared of needles but he kept a light touch and made me feel comfortable during the process. His prices are also really great for the awesome tattoos he does! I'm excited for my next tattoo!! Definitely recommend going to see Lantz for your tattoo needs!

    My before and afters.
    Susan L.

    Lantz was recommended to me by a friend. I was looking to cover up a tattoo of a peacock on a lotus flower. I hated it and waited 7 years to get it covered up. Lantz did an amazing job covering it up. Thank you so much!

    See, he is a magician!
    Tina C.

    Lantz is a magician! He is an artist and his canvas if the human body. I can't believe that he was able to transform my tattoo from a grey blob to what it is now-same design just 100% better. I posted a before and after pic. He also did an original piece for me that I have been thinking about for a couple years. He took my (very) rough sketch and turned it into exactly what was in my head that I couldn't get on paper! More confirmation that the is a magician! Lantz was a referral from a friend and I am not disappointed. He is very personable and fun to talk to, has a very interesting background and his work is out of this world. I have no hesitations about recommending him to everyone!

    Ken S.

    Lantz is the only artist I have and will ever go to. His attention to detail, customer service, and overall work are second to none. I have already gotten over half a dozen designs done by him and intend to get several more!!

    How much to get red butterflies or a red dragon on the top of the hand?

    it really depends on how simple or detailed the design is - could range anywhere between 100 to 300 dollars

She is so receptive to making ideas a reality and making sure I was happy with every step of the process. It was easy to work on a design together and schedule an appointment. I asked for these dramatized skulls and she made them custom and so expressive they are adorbs. The design was a combination of clean line work and gradient colors with softer edges. Maisy excelled in both styles and the final piece was immediately impressive and exceeded my expectations. Maisy is also just a genuine and kind person. She donated her time for the tattoo in a fundraiser for a mutual aid org. The time sitting for the tattoo flew by! Maisy is fun to talk with as she is such a good listener and has a huge positive vibration. She made me feel very comfortable and safe physically and emotionally.

We got here and was welcomed by Jazmine who set us up with all the tatts we wanted and some custom ones to to her style and we loved every bit of them. For a small but very humble and friendly shop was more like being family and friends while being there for 2 days getting work done. Everyone is chill including the owner herself and everyone else that we met there. Probably the most enjoyful tatt experience I've had in a long time and I will be coming back when I go back out there. With Westside having a light hand I felt almost nothing while getting my arm done and most of us felt almost nothing. For those of us whom was on their first tattoo got reassured and made sure was ok as the piece was being done. I respect this heavily as a lot of places do not do this anymore. Time was taken and all came out beautifully exactly how we wanted the pieces to be. We even got a few of their flash sale tatts done. We locked in and so did they! If you havnt't already been here I recommend going on a heavy note. Check in and talk to them and get some work done it's worth it! Thank yall for the great experience given to my family!
