Tattoo Asylum

Worst costumer service EVER! Worst tattoo artists EVER Could not even draw a simple star without lines not connecting, not to mention when scab fell off there is NO ink in skin. Absolutely the worst group of men that when asked for a refund stood all together and laughed at 2 women!!!! Completely insulting! I have many friends with many tattoos I also have 3 myself and have NEVER had this problem before! Worst place ever be forewarned! Pros: NOTHING Cons: EVERYTHING more

They say Venice Beach is a sunny place with shady people and this is definitely the case with this tattoo-parlor! They are extremely over priced and prey on anyone that walks through their doors. About six months ago I worked for a hostel and would bring these guys business as they were really close to where I worked. They charged my friend $160 for a tiny black tribal flower on the small of her waist. Seriously this tattoo was about the size of a half dollar ...maybe! The guy who does the piercings will sell you jewelry at any cost. I bought a piece of jewelry after being told it would fit, and when I got home discovered it was entirely too big. Not only would they not return it they wouldn't give me anything that fit after blatantly taking advantage of me. Apparently, I shouldn't have left until I was certain their piercer had sold me the correct size. "I'm not the paid professional here, arrghhh! These guys are jokes! Don't go here or their other location on the boardwalk unless you're ready to pay more and get less. My recommendation is stay away from the beach if you want piercings or tattoos the beach attracts tourists and tourists attract sleazeball tattooists/piercers. Pros: You can get pretty cheap smokes a couple doors down Cons: Just read my review more

I went in with my ideas and let Robert fill in the blanks. He really listened to me and put my ideas down on paper. We came up with a beautiful design and his technique made it less painful. He was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Even though the shop is very close to the Venice boardwalk it does not have that touristy feel about it. Excellent experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this shop and will be going back for more work very very soon. Pros: parking, staff, service, nice atmosphere, professional more

I was incredibly please with this shop. My friends and I came in on a Sunday and the place was packed! There were only 2 artists working, Nick and Lucky, and 2 people up front. The staff was very energetic and very welcoming. I wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted, I just had an idea. I let the staff upfront in on my thoughts and ideas. There was no internet so the girl that was helping me went to Quiznos around and borrowed their computer to print out a few pictures for my friends and I. All 4 of us got tattooed. Nick did the 3 small ones and Lucky did my semi-big (well at least to me) tattoo along my ribs. Even though we had to wait a bit due to the fact that there were only 2 artists, I still enjoyed being there. Everyone made us feel comfortable and wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Venice Beach. I know the locals already know what's up! I took the time to find a little more information on my artist and found him on myspace.... here is his url: Check out his work and make an appointment: MySpace URL: luckytattooasylum I hope this information has made it easier for you to find a decent tattoo shop in Venice. more

I got my tattoo done at Tattoo Asylum last week, and it turned out amazing. I get so many compliments already. I will definately go back for more. They have parking right in front of the store, and a bar next door, what more do I need? My friends recommended this place to me and I will recommend everyone to go there too. They really helped me with my idea and did a great job! I LOVE MY NEW TATTOO!!!! Pros: Very convenient parking and good prices Cons: none more

The tattoo asylum was a very clean place. Daphne was extremely nice and comforting throughout the tattoo process. It was my very first tattoo and it was nice having her there to calm me down. I have to be honest and say that some of the guys that worked there were a little rude. Not sure if they were always grumpy or were just having a bad day. Daphne on the other hand, was much more pleasant to be around! The lady that runs the clothing/jewelry shop connected to the tattoo place was also very kind and entertaining. Pros: clean, great location Cons: grumpy workers more
