This place is very nice and clean.
Staff is very nice and welcoming!
I am from the east coast and came all the way to the west to get my tattoo during my vacation.
Cristo did my tattoo, he was very nice and professional, absolutely loved his work. He is amazing and did the work that no body could do in the east coast. Had to pay a little more than what I would pay back home but it was worth it!
Thanks for making my appointment happen!
I recommend this place and give it 100/100.
Until next time!

Definitely recommend. Super laid back people and environment. I was visiting Cali from Colorado and decided to get a spur of the moment tattoo. Had no clue what tattoo shop to choose but i’m glad I ended up here. Even more glad that Kozy Ink did my tatt. 🙌🏽 Super nice guy, did great work and I love my tattoo. 💕 Will definitely go back there if I’m ever in Cali again!

came here with my girlfriend because she wanted a tattoo. our appointment was for 4pm we ended up waiting almost 2 hours before they did her tattoo. she got a simple small design that took the artist a whole 30 minutes and they charged her 160 dollars. I've gotten more complex designs that took way longer for much much less. extremely overpriced honestly felt like a scam. the artist I normally go to for my stuff charged me 100 for a much bigger tattoo that took him an hour and a half so you can understand how shocked I was when they charged her 160 for a tiny 30 minute tattoo. that on top of waiting 2 hours when we had an appointment is just depressing. I normally don't write reviews but I just had to this time I mean I am that disappointed. don't go here there are other tattoo shops that can do literally the same thing for way less money. I would say the only real reason to go here is for the artists individual designs but if you're getting something that's drawn by someone else then look elsewhere. I've gotten 4 tattoos at 3 different shops in LA. all of them took over an hour and I've never been charged more than 100 bucks. :( so yeah the proof is in the pudding. the cracks are indeed begging to show and it's so so incredibly sad. folks at home it is time to wake up and smell that coffee.
don't go here.

I’ve known Dave for over 10 years now. He did the first tattoo on my wife and is responsible for my favourite tattoo on myself! Since starting Generation 8, i’ve been wanting to get down to California to get some new work done. When I saw his new establishment, I was blown away! Very clean, lots of artists doing amazing work and we couldn’t help but to finish up another tattoo for my wife when we were here. Can’t wait to come back and get some more work done! I highly recommend Dave and his amazing staff of extremely talented artists.

Been here only once and I absolutely love it. Definitely going back. I got tattooed by an artist that is originally from Tulsa OK but comes to LA every month or so and he was great! I believe his name was D Love. Took my friend and I as walk ins. Awesome staff, good service 👍🏼

Came in on vacation from Austin so I was a walk in. Hiro was professional. Came out way better than I envisioned in my head. Staff was super nice and the place was clean!

My experience here was good I love my Tattoo, but when I got there I had an appointment @3 and I got there @2:50 and the tattoo artist wasn’t even there he was 45 mins late and when he got there he still wasn’t ready he didn’t start tattooing me until 4:25 and he finished before 5 o’clock it took less than an hour and he still charged me $150 and he was late and still not ready when he got there and still charged me almost 2 hundred dollars for a tattoo that took less than an hour to do. He also didn’t wrap my Tattoo afterwards or clean of the sketch marks, But expect that he did do a good job on the tattoo it was painless and it came out nice

I’ve been going to Bruno for the past year and that man is an artist. He is patient and is always able to interpret my idea into a design. 10/10

My artist was Naro and I am very pleased with his work! I love the colors and I appreciated that he would check in with me whether it was the coloring, pain, etc. Unfortunately he is not a permanent employee at Generation 8, he is only here as a guest. I wouldn't mind coming back to this shop and I would recommend it to others.
