Tattoos!

Thu Jul 16, 2009, 11:44 PM
Any of you live in Hollywood / Los Angeles and have tattoos??

I have one tattoo, but I got it in Boston and I don't know where to go out here. I want a few, and I'm dead broke so I'm not getting them right now, but I'm obsessed with them at the moment so I'd love to hear suggestions for shops!

I don't mind traveling a little ways, my boyfriend lives in Santa Clarita so anywhere near there's okay too. I'm just wary of places in Hollywood 'cause I don't want to get ripped off, you know everything here is overpriced!

I want a couple quotes, one girl in kind of a comic style, and a couple other smaller flower type things.

I'm apprenticing to learn in Boston, wait, and next time you're here I'll hook ya up! ^_^ -otherwise, look at portfolios online and in shops, find an artist who is a tattoo artist, and not just a tattooist!

That's very cool, I'd love to learn to tattoo. Los Angeles is a very big place, I don't want to go through hundreds of shops to find one so I'm looking for suggestions out here =) thanks though

If I see my Santa Monica friend on today, I'll give him an ask. He's pretty well covered, mostly in Sailor Jerry style, but he may know a good general tattoo shop with fair prices.

Do you have a particular style of tattoo you want? Finding an artist who's a good match for the art you want on you can be worth saving a bit longer.

Yeah, it says in the journal at the end. That'd be cool if you ask, thanks.

Ahh! Dang me and my only reading 4 lines down!

It sounds like you may already have the art drawn out, which is cool. I'm certainly not as inked as my friend, but when I took my art into my local shop, I just looked for the artist whose style matched best, and that worked out very well. I'm sure your plan is something similar.

My friend says if you can drive down to Orange, it's worth it. He's got everyone from his work (Santa Monica) making the drive down there now.

The tattoo shop is Goodfellas Tattoo. 1655 N. Glassell, Orange, CA 92867 The artist he recommends is Kim.
