    A very overdue review but in the summer I got my first 3 tattoos here and had a great experience. I got small line work tattoos to cover up some scars on my forearm and stomach and a tiny but bad party tattoo on my upper arm and I am very pleased with the results. They even messaged me to check up on how I was healing. Highly recommend!

    I heard about this Tattoo place from coworker. They done really good job on my tattoo. The price was good, and the tattoo has done fast

    I got a tattoo at Tattoo Love for the first time today and I gotta say I loved the vibes. I was getting an old tattoo touched up with some color to it, and everyone was super nice about it. The owner was kind and super fast with responses via email, and my tattoo artist was Star, who was perfect in every way. She made sure I was comfortable and made my tattoo look AWESOME. I also learned how to use Zelle today, haha Thank you Tattoo Love!

    Came here for a smiley (hard to find a place that does one) and the peeps were super chill. Guy at the desk was very inviting and my piercer was very informative about after care thank god. I've been to other places and some are not as attentive. For a walk in my experience was great and I would definitely go back over anywhere else.

    Ivy was my tattoo artist . The tattoo on my left forearm I really got another tattoo shop (years ago) I went in to get touch-ups and added the hat on top. The tattoo on my right forearm was a new one I'm super happy with how they came out and I'll definitely be back to get my next tattoo with Ivy :)

    Botched and maimed.

    Let my story be a reminder to choose carefully where you get inked. No matter how long a shop has been open, horror stories can happen to you. Came here and ended up maimed/botched with a disgusting infection... along with the ugliest tattoo imaginable. I went to consultations to cover it up and, the artists are always SHOCKED at how ugly and poorly done it was. 2 even asked me if the Tattoo Love artist was "drunk" when she did it. The artist was so heavy handed that I was squirming in my seat from pain. I have so many tattoos, never that amount of pain. Unfortunately for me, this means removal will be even more difficult, since she drilled ink in layers deeper than she needed to. After healing from an excruciating infection (I could not even sleep for two days), my skin started falling out in chunks, but that at least let it to heal a bit. Significant scarring. A few artists at my cover-up consultations told me that I should consider legal action, so I am looking into that. Tattoo Love hired an artist who botched my body and didn't follow hygiene laws, at my expense. I am recovering from the physical and emotional trauma that is equivalent to a botched surgery, my arm is in constant pain and looks horrible. I'm stuck inside all summer due to the laser treatments. I empathize with small businesses but not in this case, totally preventable and irresponsible, now irreversible. She had me come in to change my Saniderm and it smelled awful, blood spilling everywhere, the owner didn't even come look. Should've been involved in this whole entire thing while it went down. Tattoo Love has been around for over a decade and had no excuse for hiring someone so incompetent to destroy someone's body like this. Los Angeles / Southern California has hundreds of tattoo shops, why risk it at this crappy little place? Why are you considering going to a place where there is a review visibly showing you that you too can have your body destroyed by coming here? Why risk it? It's EASY to hire a qualified artist - what did a business that's been around for over 10 years miss during her hiring process? There is no excuse here, which is why I am highly upset. I am more angry the more time passes, and with the more thousands of dollars that I lose, no compensation from this place. At least I now have some more energy, instead of as much depression, to take action. Shame on you, Tattoo Love. If you decide to get a tattoo here... have fun gambling.

    I searched for the perfect spot for my moms first tattoo. First off, owner George, freaking sweetheart! He assigned us to Bryan, and it was the best decision ever. Lowkey, we drove him a lil nuts, but he was calm, professional, patient and did an amazing job!!!! Definitely coming to him from now on! Shop has great energy with kind staff. Definitely would recommend!!! Thank you so much!!!! And I will see you again soon!

    LOVE totally suits the business name, this family business was so welcoming! George the owner was very polite and informative. I had my ears pierced by Steve, he explained the process and made sure I felt minimal pain. They provided detailed aftercare instructions and said I could call back for any questions etc. thanks guys!

    I enjoyed my experience here. I got my hand tattoos done. Pricing is fair, the owner is a sweetheart! He is also very cute, too bad he is married lol Jk. I will be returning soon, my tattoo artist was Star, she is also a cutie pie, and for being a young artist her talent is very apparent, her art is very structured, and appears like she's been tattooing for years...the talent shows. I got an estimate online from the owner, which was very helpful. Overall 10/10 spot.

    The main man!

    So desperate to find a safe & reasonable place for ear piercing. I tried to inquire from jewelry shop in a mall nearby who quoted me $85 & above. They said that the charge was for the earrings & piercing would be free. Until I went on Yelp & glad to discover this place called Tattoo Love that's been in the business for 13+ years. I walked in & initially met the tattoo artist Ryan who at that time attending a 2-hour tattoo job so I had to make an appointment. But before I left he gratefully gave me a quote of $25! I went back the following day & this time met the owner George who was equally warm & accommodating. Ryan took care of my ear piercing through his gentle, systematic & extra careful hands. I was advised to do necessary cleaning procedures with a 1-page instructional paper ready to each customer. Noteworthy to mention that the inside was very clean & organized. Thank u guys for making me feel important despite a small job! Highly recommended!!! Perfect star!

    There aren't the words to express just how comfortable and PAINLESS my experience was at the 3rd St…read moreOak and Poppy. Yesterday I got my septum pierced for my birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

    The staff here are friendly and welcoming. I'm giving 4 stars for their customer service,…read morecleanliness, and responsiveness. My husband and I got matching tattoos here and for the tattoo itself it's 3 stars. Today, it has been 3 days since we got the tattoo and although the tattoo itself is small, has fine lines, and is on the wrist, it appears as if it has a smear/smudge on one of the corners on both tattoos. This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris. I will update this review once the tattoos heal completely.
