    I've received several tattoos from this establishment and I've always walked out and completely satisfied. Brian, who is one of the artists, does a fantastic job. Manny is also a master and is available for your ink work. And George who is the proprietor of this wonderful establishment, will make you feel at home. If you're looking for a great tattoo shop, Tattoo Love is the place to be.

    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.

    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 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!

    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!

Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her. Everything went so smoothly and it was mostly painless - only a pinch in the process but no discomfort after the jewelry was already in. My friends and I left with super cute nostril piercings! Highly recommend this studio. Very grateful and happy with the experience here.

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.

Not only is this woman one of the most talented humans alive, but she is such an amazing and kind person and getting to be tattooed by her has become such a highlight of my life. When I first met her, I was in a really bad place with my health. I was living with some very serious health issues and was just overall struggling so much and truthfully, I felt like a foreigner in my own body. I first got a Wicked tattoo done by her and when I walked into Supersweet, I was so nervous. I had many other tattoos but I was just in a very vulnerable place and at that time, everything made me anxious. When she sat down with her designs, what she had come up with took my breath away. It was so much better than I could have ever imagined and it was the most stunning design I'd ever seen. As we sat down to get started, she could tell that I was nervous and was so gracious, gentle, compassionate and understanding, and really took her time to make sure I felt safe. This meant the world to me. After that, I was scheduled to have a tattoo with her again, and I needed to cancel bc I ended up having emergency back surgery. She was, again, so kind, loving, understanding and supportive. I have since come in and gotten quite a few more tattoos with her and for the first time in so long, my body feels like my own again and I am excited to look down and see my beautiful tattoos done by her. I fully intend to be her client from now until, honestly, however long she'll have me. Her work is stunning and I have so much fun at our sessions. She is someone I deeply appreciate and I truly couldn't be more grateful for Alexa! She's such a kind human, that my husband, who SWORE he would never get a tattoo started warming up to the idea because he finally felt safe and comfortable and that was solely because of her. He officially just got his first tattoo from her. I am so excited for more tattoo fun and I HIGHLY recommend booking with her!

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece.
