About
We do custom tattoos for each client individually. If you can dream it, we can draw it. No two tattoos are the same. We are certified tattoo and fine artists working in Los Angeles near the world famous Grove. Working on clientele from every walk of life, big or small, every piece of artwork is as important in its own way, as our clients are. Wether you’re traveling or live close by, you’ll get the quality, and wonderful experience, that you deserve which normally ends up becoming a friendship that lasts the test of time just like your new tattoo will.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After our consultation, We’ll take down each persons concept ideas and desired location of their new art work. Then we will take a security deposit (which goes towards the total cost of the tattoo). Next step, we start to draw their idea from scratch. Making sure to communicate with that person during the drawing process as to adapt in anyway, adjusting our drawing, towards an image that exceeds their expectations. Often refining the image 3 or more times, each drawing becoming more detailed and energy driven. Then once the tattoo drawing is completed, we’ll schedule a date and time to perform the tattoo which I make sure to dedicate more time than scheduled in Order to provide my full attention towards each new project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our owner Taylor Edmond apprenticed under Mikey Montoya and prior to that he has a long history of making fine art and attending several art schools including Otis Academy of the Arts. Having tattooed and made art his whole life, Edmond specializes in a large variety of styles and enjoy the process AND the people he is fortunate to meet along the way.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Shop charges a $100 minimum and is hourly after that. We garentee no one will ever have your new custom artwork tattooed onto them because we never tattoo the same image twice. More often than not, clients become friends.
How did you get started in this business?
Edmond started out as a fine artist in school but also loved tattoos from a very early age. His artist at the time noticed his passion for both art and tattoos and helped him grow as his apprentice to refine his skills, acquire the necessary equipment and knowledge, and grounded him mentally in how a great artist works with ethic, people skills, kindness, and hard work.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We've worked with every type of person from famous musicians and athletes, to policemen and medical professionals, to mechanics and food service professionals. Everyone deserves the same quality, and exemplary treatment no matter profession, ethnicity, size, or shape.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Make sure you research your artists and meet with him or her personally to see how well you’re treated. Tattoos should be an exciting or at least meaningful experience and building a strong relationship with the artist only makes for a better, positive, and special experience weather it’s a simple small tattoo or a full sleeve.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Make sure you have a good idea of the style you’re interested in, even if you leave the concept up to the artist, always have a definite style in mind. Sometimes what might be right for the artist, isn’t necessarily right for the client. You always want to be communicative in exactly what you have in mind as to not waste the artists time having to work extra hours. There nothing worse than spending hours on multiple pieces of artwork, just to be thrown aside because of indecision or a solid vision. Ask questions frequently if you have them. Communication is key to a good professional relationship with your artist. They’ll appreciate your consideration. We work hard and our time is extremely valuable just like the artwork we produce.
