The amazing artist, Julian did really a great job! He immediately understood what I wanted during consultation so I was able to get what I wanted. And his work was so detailed and pretty quick! Very professional and I was so satisfied with everything. I would highly recommend Julian and I will definitely go back there again!

Got two tattoos by Julian, probably around March 2021 and wow do I regret it.
First tat was on the side of my finger and when I told him I needed a break, he FORCED me to sit through it. (I already had two previous finger tattoos and those artists cared and gave me a break.) So when Julian straight up declined to give me a break and held down my fingers, I should have walked out. However I wanted a second tattoo of a word in THIN LINES. Which he said, that’s his specialty…. Just look at the pic. I understand ink can merge, blur, etc. but he did the lines too thick to begin with and you can barely read it. The stencil was good, but for some reason he decided to make the lines thicker… I let time pass by just in case I would start to like it but tbh I can’t. Gotta remove it now, thanks for the worst service ever Julian!
I went back again in May 2021 but the attitude he was giving was not it, so I left.

Rob was very grumpy and judgy the whole time, had a terrible attitude and didn’t give me a price until after he was done either. He also pointed out my scar tissue on my wrist in a rude and judgmental way which no other tattoo artist has done before. He was also transphobic to my face and while talking about me to my friend who went in the shop a couple hours after me, blatantly calling me a girl when he knew from the beginning that I’m a trans guy. Just super disappointing and uncomfortable experience over all.

Came in super last minute and they were so welcoming and kind about it. Massive shoutout to Jessica for the amazing tattoo and being an amazing artist and patient with us AND Ruben for the kind comfort aurora and his compliment on my shoes. Honest appreciation to the both of them!!

I've wanted a couple of tattoos since I was 16, and never pulled the trigger until a vacation impulse took over. My artist was quick, knowledgeable, and made me feel so comfortable easing any anxiety I had about my tattoos. I couldn't recommend this place enough. I personally got mostly black like work done, so if that's what you're looking for give this place your business.

My artist was Julian and holy hell was this the best tattoo experience I’ve had. I have 10 pieces but this one is by far my favorite. Very professional and clean environment and Julian was super friendly and made me feel comfortable. We had a blast. Great line work and a light hand, I barely felt a thing. He was quick and I have to say it’s the best artistry on any of my pieces. He took me as a walk-in and we had an absolute blast. I am absolutely planning to book more work with him. Very talented artist!!!!! Overall 5 star experience

Rob was Transphobic and downright rude to my boyfriends face as well as behind his back. The vibe overall was uncomfortable and no one was welcoming or friendly.

This was my first time out in California, And how could I leave Cali for my first time without getting some palm trees tattooed! Julian was my artist and right off the bat dude was the chillest tattoo artist I ever met 100%. Light on the hand, very out going, and you can tell he’s really good at what he loves. If you’re ever out in West Hollywood and feel like getting a tattoo, Tattoo Mania baby and ask for Julian! 🌴🌴🌴

I went to Tattoo Mania after a night out in West Hollywood. The guys were very welcoming and nice. Julian did exactly what I asked for and even put the stencil on 3 different times to get it perfect!!!! Yes, I agree that it is a little on the expensive side but you are in West Hollywood and I would rather pay more for perfection. Thank you Julian I love my tattoo!!

Julian was awesome....we had just lost our beloved dog daughter in a hit and run accident...we were devastated...and Julian was very understanding, he knew exactly what we wanted and gave amazing pointers. Explained the costs up front and where the placement of the tattoo would be the best. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get some custom on the spot work.
