I LOVE this shop! Ian has been my artist for a few years now and I just keep coming back. These are seriously the most talented artists and Ian in particular is absolutely incredible. Every time I come to him with some vague idea and he completely brings it to life. The only downside is that they have set expectations way too high so now I can never go to another artist. Did I mention that I love this place? read more

The Fig Leaf Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've never gotten a tattoo before, so I did a lot of research. And The Fig Leaf website popped up in my search and the style of art fit what I was looking for. I easily booked on the website (which is so nice & modern) and emailed with questions. My email was answered promptly. The studio itself is so beautiful and clean. Everyone was nice. June was my tattoo artist and she was incredibly gentle. I absolutely love my hummingbird tattoo. It makes me happy every time I look at it. My husband even booked an appointment for his first tattoo. Highly recommend, especially if you're a bit nervous about getting your first tattoo. read more

Getting my first tattoo at The Fig Leaf exceeded my expectations! The space is beautiful, Rob at the front desk was very welcoming, and my artist, Hailee, did an incredible job of making me feel comfortable the whole time. What I also liked was that she was patient and collaborative with the stencil, turning around quick changes and really making sure I loved the final and placement. I feel more like myself now with this tattoo and will definitely be coming back to Fig Leaf for my next one. read more

Found June because I wanted a tattoo that was a piece of art and not your everyday tattoo. They do regular tattoo's also, but June was a true artist. I had a long list of items I was thinking about and She quickly gave me 4 examples and through a couple weeks we tweaked and I felt came to the best design possible. Had it done today. Not only was is a real work of art, but it turned out better than I ever expected. She also stayed till 11pm because I couldn't do a second appointment. I highly highly recommend if you just want a tattoo or specialty want a unique piece of art. This is your place! Also, the atmosphere is the most unique parlor I have ever been to. Amazing on all counts! read more

I'm obsessed with my tattoos! I got these two tattoos done by Peter Hawks. Such a talented & friendly artist. I highly recommend coming to this location. Everyone was super welcoming.

I have visited Fig Leaf twice this year. My first impression of the space is that it's so clean, cozy, and welcoming. The manager of the shop is so friendly, as well as the other members of the shop. I left leaving so happy because I found my go to shop. My artist Peter is truly a gem and i'll always be excited to get a tattoo from him and look forward to laughing my entire session. The second time I went, I scheduled a tattoo for my birthday. I chose my design from Peter's flash and trusted he knew the style I like. I simply just laid back and got tattooed. Forever grateful i found this place! read more

Shelli and Rob were amazing at customer service and the location is very welcoming and clean. This was my first tattoo ever (at 57 yrs of age) and I was quite nervous. From my initial inquiry to the very end, their communication and process really helped ease my anxieties. Although I have nothing to compare it to, Shelli's artistic ability and chair side manner were 10 out of 10. Thank you!!! read more

My best friend and I dropped-in on New Year's Eve for a pair of matching tattoos. I moved to the area (transplant of the Bay Area) and haven't found a resident tattoo artist in the area. My friend did a Google search and found this place -- and it didn't disappoint. Rob graciously greeted us and got us settled, and June was our tattoo artist. After completing some necessary paperwork, I was pleased to find that June had drew up some pieces for us to consider based off the info we provided over the phone. Her art was WAY better than what I pulled up on Google image...that's for sure! She snapped photos of where we wanted the art, imposed the art digitally on the photos -- a huge improvement for me since I last got a tattoo over 15 years ago! I appreciate her style, thorough consultation, and gentle touch with the needle. The studio is incredibly clean, has beautiful artwork throughout, and is simply a vibe. There is parking in the back of the shop. You can pay in cash or by Zelle or Venmo (another major convenience). As someone in the LGBTQ+ community, I also felt incredibly safe and welcomed in the shop. I will definitely be back for more, and am glad to have found a new tattoo "home" in the read more

I walk by Fig Leaf all the time and have always wanted to receive a tattoo from one of their incredibly talented artists. This last week we said goodbye to my pup and wanted a tattoo to commemorate her. Within the hour of calling for info, we were able to walk in and work with June. Even for such simple designs, she took her time with us and made sure we were happy with the final outcome. I love mine so much! The $150 shop minimum is maybe slightly higher than some other places in the area... but it was totally worth it for the quality, compassion and environment they've curated. Thanks June and Rob! read more

My Bestie and I finally pulled the rip cord and got our matching tattoos!!! He lives down in the LA area and I was visiting for NYE, not knowing where to go I jumped on the Google and searched. Found this place and loved that it said it was female friendly as well as queer friendly. They also said walk ins welcomed. So I jumped in the phone and called, they asked what we were looking for then said they could take us both at 1:00. We pulled up to the cutest little place with parking in the back. Walked in and the vibe was chill and inviting. Being lead to the consultation area and doing the paper work everything just seemed right. When the arrest came out she already had some sketches done. In less than 2 hours we both had our new ink and were so happy with it. The shop was super clean, the staff was helpful and considerate, the artist was AMAZING! I will definitely keep this place in mind for the next one. Thanks to the whole team at Fig Leaf. read more

This was my second time getting a tattoo and I must admit a pleasant experience. I was searching for a place and happened to given them a call for a spur of the moment tattoo. Rob answered and spoke to me a bit to see what I was looking to get. He let me know there was an artist on walk-ins and he'd give me a text later. Upon entering the shop, my friend and I were immediately greeted and shown the waiting area. Rob was very nice and welcoming. The atmosphere was quite peaceful and all the employees AND customers were friendly. This made for an overall wonderful experience. Tyler did an absolutely amazing job!! I was able to share some ideas with him, but he used his artistic skills and brought it to life. He really took the time to get to know me and was spot on with the whole design. read more

The Fig Leaf Tattoo - Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had been following June's tattoo instagram account for over a year, and had been wanting to get my first big tattoo in her signature colorful, botanical style, but was a bit nervous. I finally went ahead and booked a virtual consultation (being in San Diego). From the very beginning of the process, submitting the request to book, through the consultation itself, and coming in to get the tattoo, I had the most amazing experience. I felt comfortable that I was in the hands of the best team at this shop. Rob was super responsive with scheduling and questions. June created a beautiful design based on my references and feedback and added little touches that made it even better. When I showed up to my appointment, I was a little anxious, but it was such a cozy, beautiful studio and I felt welcomed and at ease by Rob and June. June took such great care to cover up the scars I wanted covered and make it look beautiful and flow well with the natural curves of my leg, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. After she finished her work, she brought out the professional camera to get the best pictures possible and promptly sent them to me the same night. You can tell she takes pride in her work (as she should!) I will absolutely be back for more tattoos in the future, and maybe add more to my leg sleeve. It was definitely worth the drive from San Diego to work with the right artist who made my vision come true! read more

I've wanted a tattoo for years but it wasn't until I came across June's work on an LA Times article did I find an artist whose work and style I felt was in line with what I imagined or wanted on my body. It took several months before I could book an appointment as she's clearly highly sought after and her books get booked well in advance. When I did get a booking confirmed, I was slightly concerned about the fact that I wouldn't see her final sketch until the day of. I've never had a tattoo before and I was really worried I wouldn't like what she presented. I expressed my concerns in our email communications and they assured me I would have the chance to give feedback and modify as needed. When my appointment came around, I was impressed at how welcoming and beautiful the studio was. I even commented that if tattoo shops looked this nice maybe I would have gotten a tattoo earlier in my 20s. And as for my worries about not liking the final sketch, turns out, I didn't really need to worry. June took the time to talk through multiple options and variations in terms of location, size, layout and final look of the tattoo. The actual tattooing took only a little over an hour but we actually spent a full hour finalizing the design and placement. They provide excellent instructions and follow-up regarding aftercare and I had no issues at all. When I reached out to them because I felt a section of the tattoo did not heal as well as the rest and I felt it needed some color touch up they scheduled me to come in without hesitation. As a result I got to see the new and larger studio in the current location. It's now been 10 months and it never fails, every time I go out and my tattoo is visible someone compliments me on my tattoo. They are often impressed at how delicate it looks and at the unique watercolor style. Quite a few have even asked for June's info. I'm personally beyond thrilled at how it came out and my close friends have all remarked at how well it reflects me and my style/personality even without knowing what each part of the tattoo symbolizes. In case it's not obvious, I simply cannot recommend June enough! If I ever want another tattoo again, it's going to have to be from her! read more

The Fig Leaf Tattoo - New space! - Tattoo Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Erica designed and tattooed my newest and largest tattoo yet, and I love it! It was important to me to find a woman of color tattoo artist whose style I liked, so when Rob sent me a few options for artists after seeing my reference photos, I was excited to find Erica. I wanted a sunflower, poppies tattoo, and Erica's botanical/floral work is beautiful. She was very receptive to my feedback about little adjustments and added details. I really appreciated her considerations about the longevity and future of the tattoo (things I didn't know to think about), so we went with a larger size. She was also very patient as I decided (I was nervous, since this was my biggest tattoo), and they ensured I was comfortable before we started the session. In addition to being a very talented artist, she was easy to talk to, warm, and down to earth. Thank you so much for my new tat, Erica! Rob was also very helpful with matching, scheduling, and providing logistical info along the way. The tattoo boutique itself is gorgeous, clean, well-designed, and welcoming. Everyone I met was friendly, and I could tell there's a sense of comraderie among the artists. Highly recommend this tattoo boutique for your next tat! read more

The Fig Leaf Tattoo - Hummingbird and Poppy - Tattoo Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I got my first professional tattoo in 1971, so I have been doing this for a while. This was my first visit to FigLeaf. Based on the type of tattoo I was looking for, they suggested I might want to work with Ian. We had an initial consultation where we discussed what I wanted vs. what would work. I wanted a piece that covered my entire upper right arm. Unfortunately my arm was not big enough for what I was envisioning. Ian made some changes to the design to accommodate my arm. I liked his suggestion so I booked a session. When I get work done, I usually pay by the piece being done. They quote a price and then we agree. This is the first time I had someone who charges by the hour. I have to admit I was a bit worried. What is to stop him from going really slow and running up the bill? NOPE. I sat for 4.5 hours. In that time he tattooed an image that went from my shoulder to my elbow. He finished the outline and started on the color. I go back next month to finish the color and any touch ups. Ian has a very light touch and draws one of the thinnest lines I've ever seen. That's my personal mark for a talented artist. The thinner the lines, the better the tattoo artist is. Just my opinion. I really recommend Fig Leaf Tattoo and of course Ian. They have several different types and styles of tattoos and they are located in a cool old Victorian house in Highland Park. Two thumbs up for sure . read more

I visited Fig Leaf this weekend for a flash tattoo/craft fair event they were having. First off, the space is BEAUTIFUL. It had a calming and warm vibe which I feel like sometimes isn't the case for tattoo shops. Rob and his wife were absolutely lovely. I was tattooed by Erica, who did an incredible job and made great conversation. My girlfriend was tattooed by visiting artist Carlotta and also loved her piece and time there. Overall we had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tattoo shop! read more

This tattoo shop is truly a gem. The shop itself was beautifully designed, with a welcoming and clean atmosphere. It had a relaxed and laid-back feel, making it a comfortable place to get tattooed. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly! I was tattooed by Peter Hawks & I was super happy with how much he pays attention to detail he puts into each tattoo. Peter was super quick to respond to all questions I had about my tattoo, he was very attentive & super friendly! There's nothing better than a tattoo artist acting like a friend & not a stranger. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this tattoo shop to anyone looking for a new piece of body art read more

So thrilled that I found my new tattoo shop in LA. I wrote to Rob asking for some help on finding an artist for a unique idea I had, and he so kindly introduced me to Hailee. I arrived to the shop (which is super cool) and met with Hailee who showed me a few of her options based on what I asked, she nailed it! Hailee was friendly, kind, and most importantly, an amazing tattooist. I absolutely love my tattoo, so happy I found Hailee and Fig Leaf. I know who I'll be calling for my next! read more

I was debating for years on getting a tattoo of my two dogs who recently passed away. I was scrolling through IG and saw the fig leaf tattoo, specifically Ian's page and saw a few of his pet portraits he did that incorporated his beautiful art and was sold on him getting it done for me. The process of getting the piece done was very easy, Ian and Rob were very responsive to my emails and a huge perk of the fig leaf tattoo is they charge by piece. I think that's huge nowadays considering that most places charge by the hour, they were very transparent on pricing as well. The shop itself is very nice, clean, and the artwork and paintings in the shop were done by my artist which was so cool to see, and I can't believe how my tattoo looked after Ian was finished. It was everything and more I could have hoped for and Ian is super friendly. Highly recommend him and will be back if I decide to complete my upper arm. On top of that the staff is very friendly, June and Rob included! read more

Had a blast over done on a old Chinese character by Esther Kim integrating my humor and hobby of fishing. Turning the big 4-0 this year and what a way to celebrate. Good start with the online signup, great follow up and a super nice warm welcome when I walked thru the doors by Rob. As for my session with Esther, super nice, from the stencil start to the finish of the artwork, everything was awesome sauce. No rushing whatsoever, loved the attention to detail. Thank you Esther for the aftercare pointers! read more

June was the artist that did my tattoo in December 2022. To say she was amazing and talented is an understatement! I loved the outcome and I'm always getting compliments on it! Go to her if you want beautiful, detailed, quality work! Update: I went back to June for a 2nd tattoo design today (almost a yr after my first w/her). I absolutely love it!!! She's a botanical art genius to say the least! The vibe in the new tattoo boutique is so calm, colorful, and welcoming. The host at the front, Rob, is also very friendly. I managed to sneak a peak at other tattoos happening as I was leaving and they were all so cool, too! read more

I've been waiting to get tattooed for a few years, and finally was set on what I wanted to get this year - only issue is I didn't know which tattoo shop to go to. I randomly came across Claire's instagram (@sleepy_ringo_) a few weeks ago, saw her work and knew I wanted to get my first tattoos done by her. The process to make an appointment was so quick and easy, very efficient, and they responded almost immediately to my questions/concerns! The second I met Claire, I knew that I made the right decision picking her. She was so incredibly sweet and patient with my ideas and changes to my tattoos. As this was my first time getting tattoos, I let her know I was incredibly nervous -- but my experience was better than I could have imagined. Claire made sure I was comfortable, we chatted about all things and I really felt like I was just sitting with a friend (that was scratching me) hahaha. I really loved that she made sure the placement was perfect, especially for the tattoo that I couldn't see very well on the back of my arm. She really took her time with my tattoos, which I appreciated immensely, and talked me through each step in the process. The pain level was a mild 3-4, 5 being the longer lines, but it lasted less than a few seconds. I am so happy to say that my experience was so comfortable, even while waiting in the seating area, everyone would ask if I needed any water or tea - making sure I was fine. I think the highlight of my experience was being able to squeal and be so happy about the end results of the tattoos WITH Claire! She was so happy for me and, throughout the process, kept telling me how cute the tattoos were. I can't speak highly enough about Claire -- I'm so glad I got to work with her. Onto the shop itself, it's very modern and brightly decorated with different colors all around. Super welcoming environment and a decent amount of seating area. Everyone is super friendly and quick to help, it really added to my experience! Thank you Fig Leaf and especially Claire, I can't wait to come back and get more tattoos! read more

We did a little tweaking of the design on the day of the appointment to get it just right. The end result was really beautiful and he did an astounding level of detail. The whole experience was great, highly recommend! read more
