My first tattoo, and I couldn't be happier. While it was just a small calligraphy tattoo, the detail and precision were excellent. Already thinking about going back for another.

My sister and I called ahead for a walk in piercing and tattoo apt. Trisha was able to get me in for a tattoo that day. Made me feel really welcomed and comfortable right from the start. She had me send her the design and asked for placement beforehand via text which gave her time to prep and made the apt so…

Kaye is a great artist! I got a fine line tattoo from him and I love it. It's even more beautiful than I imagined. I'm from Germany, discovered the studio on my trip to Los Angeles and made an appointment straight away. It's the best souvenir! Kaye took great care of me and fulfilled all my wishes. I am more than grateful, thanks!!

Bruno is an Artist ! This was my first tattoo - so I had a lot of questions. He and his admin assistant, Chris, were flawless exhibiting patience and understanding of my concerns. There was a lot of complexity in my tattoo and it’s turned out exactly as I had envisioned it. I’ll be back again!

I had such a great experience getting my tattoos done with Rich. He did 3 small tattoos for me, 2 of which were touch ups on old tattoos. His lines and details were perfect, and the whole experience of being at the shop was so smooth and easy. I can’t recommend Hermosa Ink and Rich enough! Thank you Rich! I’ll be back soon!

Sofie helped me craft a paw print tattoo to honor our pup Riley after her passing. It was a deeply personal decision and Sofie was very patient as we worked to find the right design. In the end we went with a simple filled outline of her actual paw print and I'm so happy with it. I'll be coming back for more very soon!
