I am not really the type to get a tatoo. But I recently went here because my friend wanted his last name tatooed on his back. While I was waiting, I talked to one of the artists, and she was extremely helpful, and almost convinced me to get a tatoo myself. She asked about my interests, and showed her past art. I was amazed at how intricate her art is, and had I even remotely considered a tatoo, I would have gotten one right there. The artistry here was amazing, in my personal opinion.

There are a number of tattoo artists in Los Angeles, of course, but the vast majority kind of suck. Either they're unsanitary, or ridiculously expensive, or incompetent artists, and sometimes all three at once. Zulu, however, is none of the above. His patience is remarkable, and he is willing to draw and re-draw as often as it takes. His price is incredibly high (upwards of 300 an hour), but his celebrity clients can pay it and from what I've seen his designs are worth it. Zulu takes the "spiritual" element of tattooing very seriously, so be warned if that aggravates you. Otherwise, he goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable and satisfied.
