Old Tradition Tattoo: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Came in with my brother on a whim since I live in NC and thought it would be fun to get ink to remember my trip! Could not be more happy with our experience We ended up doing the get what you get from the gum ball machine and it was so much fun!! Mine was done by Tyler and he did an amazing job. Made me feel so comfortable, quick with the tattoo but still very detail oriented, light handed! Worth every penny
Thank you Victoria we are glad that you had a great experience with us , we hope to see you back soon
Fantastic experience: Chris help me decide on a little tattoo to commemorate a great vacation. Knock it out quick with great quality!
Thank you Cameron , you are the best

Thank you Branden

Thank you Leon we hope to see be back soon
Fantastic experience: Sammie is the best!!! She’s so talented & comforting. Go to Sammie for all your tattoo needs/wants!!!
Thank you phoebe
Fantastic experience: Joel absolutely killed it. The quality of his work speaks for itself — clean lines, smooth shading, and great attention to detail. Took my original design and put his own flair on it which really made the piece stand out. Compared to my first tattoo experience, this was night and day. I had minimal bleeding and the overall pain was much more manageable. The whip shading definitely still hurt, but that’s just part of the process — and Joel did a great job keeping me comfortable and talking me through it the entire time. Professional, skilled, and easy to work with. Highly recommend.
Thank you trace

Thank you Becca , we hope to see you back soon .
Fantastic experience: Sam is a wonderful tattoo artist, has a great sense of humor, and is a hardworker!! We collaborated on a tattoo design and came up with a great idea that I loved. From start to finish, I knew the tattoo was going to be great and it was. This is also my first colored tattoo and I absolutely love the colors that were used. The manager Chris was also very helpful with the tattoo process and I appreciated his input. A wonderful way to start off 2026!
Thank you so much Tierra for your review and we are glad that you had a great experience with us , happy 2026 for you and we hope to see you soon thank you .
Fantastic experience: Great experience getting my tattoo, artists were friendly and had a great vibe, came in with a simple tattoo, and left happy. Thanks Chris.
Thank you Erick
Fantastic experience: I got a stomach piece from Chris the other day and it was a great experience. The shop is clean, everyone is cool and professional and his technique shows he is a master of what he does. Stomach tattoos are brutal and he knew exactly how to handle it, I didn’t bleed (unusual for me), the pain was much less than my other stomach pieces and the healing has been smooth. He made very quick work of it and the line work and quality of the piece is excellent. Definitely recommended
Thank you Jesse , we appreciate your review and we hope to see you soon.
Fantastic experience: Came in as a walk-in on New Year’s Eve with my dad and had an amazing experience. The staff was welcoming, patient, and took the time to help us create a meaningful design for both of us. Even with it being a busy holiday, we never felt rushed. The shop was clean, professional, and had a great atmosphere. The artists were incredibly talented and made the whole experience special and memorable. Such a meaningful way to ring in the new year with my dad. Highly recommend!
Thank you Jenna so much for your review, we hope to see you soon
Fantastic experience: Came here to get my first tattoo I was super nervous and intimidated but was immediately greeted by Sam and Chris who were super friendly and helped me every step of the way. Overall amazing people and sick shop and atmosphere will definitely be coming back!
Thank you Jorge we appreciate your review

Thank you Ericka we appreciate you

Thank you Joe
Fantastic experience: I had overall a good experience. The staff were really nice and professional. The two tattoo I got are sick! Overall, I’m happy with the results. Recommended.
Thank you Christian for your review
Fantastic experience: Did a great job! Even though he knew I was an out of towner and couldn’t come back for touch ups. Took his time and did a solid job with no light spots. If I’m ever back in the area.
Thank you Charles
Fantastic experience: Went for my first tattoo Friday night and I couldn't be happier. Josh was friendly and knowledgeable, walked me through the process, and help me decide on a design. I don't have experience with any other tattoos, so I can't compare it, but any other shop will have a hard time meeting my expectations after this. What really struck me was how everyone in the shop got along with each other, which is an underrated sign of a good business. Josh Sam and the other artist (I didn't get his name but he was focused on the guy he was working on) were laughing and talking the whole time, and created a welcoming environment. They really seemed to enjoy where they were and what they were doing. The tattoo is healing nicely and I'm already eager to go back, though this time I'll book a time ahead.
Awesome Paul thank you for taking the time to review us .
Fantastic experience: As soon as I walked into the shop I was filled with good energy. The 3 artists whom were there all had a smile on their face and were very warm and welcoming. The actual tattooing process was beyond professional and very clean. Chris did an amazing job on my tattoo with the idea I had in mind and I am very satisfied. Overall, amazing shop, amazing people, amazing art!! Much love to all of them
Thank you Dylan we appreciate your review.
Fantastic experience: Went here and they poked me a million times and left permanent marks in my skin. 5 stars still because that’s exactly what I asked for. Had Sam tattoo me and she did great and worked with me on a design that worked for me and turned out great. Super easy any enthusiastic to work with, good lines, and good color.
Thank you Danny
Fantastic experience: Sam is an amazing artist and did such great work! Loved working with her on the design and the execution was excellent. I got exactly the piece I wanted! (and some cool really cool flash too) Loved the shop overall, fun vibes and everyone was so nice. Will absolutely be getting more tattoos here!

Fantastic experience: The best. I don't even live in LA! Came back for seconds Both of my pieces from OTT have bright, pretty color, don't let the note about grayscale give you pause.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, we appreciate your kind of words. We hope to see you for the next one
Fantastic experience: Got my first ever tattoo yesterday!! It was an amazing experience. I got a custom tattoo came out exactly how i envisioned it. The artist was frosty he was AMAZING!
Thank you for sharing your experience, we appreciate you
Fantastic experience: I had such a good time from the moment I walked into this shop. I walked in with a very loose idea of what I wanted and Chris was so quick to help me get something picked out that I felt like we were both excited about. The tattoo itself came out incredibly. The color is beautiful and it is such a fun addition to my arm! Highly recommend stopping in here if you get the chance.
Thank you Roe, we are glad that you had a great experience with us, we appreciate you , we hope to see you next time .
Fantastic experience: My experience at Old tradition tattoos was one of the best experience I had in a tattoo parlor the young lady I believe her name was Samantha immediately came up to us and made us feel comfortable the minute we walked in the door the tattoo artist that did my tattoo did an amazing job and it seems like that's an amazing team that works in that tattoo shop so if you're ever in Hollywood and you just want to do something spontaneous or like me and my girl knocking something off our bucket list to stop by old traditional tattoos ask for Chris but it probably doesn't matter what artist you get because they both do top notch work
Thank you so much David for taking the time to review us, we appreciate you , and we are glad that you had good experiences here at the shop, we hope to see you next time for your next tattoo.
Fantastic experience: What can I say... if you're looking for a unique and unforgettable "souvenir," this is the place to go! I walked in by chance and was immediately struck by the displayed tattoos and the overall vibe of the place. I grabbed their business card, reached out by email the next day, and they were super quick and precise in their responses—I ended up booking an appointment for the following day. Chris and Sam, the tattoo artists who took care of me, were incredibly friendly, helpful, and very meticulous. They made sure several times that the stencil was perfectly straight and properly placed. The final result speaks for itself, absolutely amazing! Highly recommended!!!
Thank you Davide for sharing your experience, we appreciate you
Fantastic experience: Old tradition tattoo is the best shop in Hollywood Chris the owner is a fantastic tattoo artist and all other artists in there are fantastic they would take care of you and you will leave happy with your tattoo highly recommend this shop if you want good tattoos also I want to give a shout out to Samantha who is an apprentice but she's well on her way to becoming a good tattoo artist
William we appreciate you , thank you for sharing your experience,
Fantastic experience: I first started coming to this shop when it was in its first location a few blocks away after opening and have continued to return for a number of tattoos over the years. I’ve collected (so far) 9 different pieces from Chris, Frost, and others at the shop and each time the experience has been amazing. The shop is clean and well spaced and the team is extremely professional and friendly. The care put into their client’s satisfaction really shows and I’ll definitely be back for more.
Thank you Sean for being loyal and sharing your experience with us, we appreciate you .
Fantastic experience: My experience at Old Tradition was nothing short of fantastic. Everyone that I talked to at the shop was both professional and personable.

Fantastic experience: We’re in from out of town and wanted a tattoo. We walked in and everyone in the shop was so nice. I think need up getting flash with April. I changed my mind on the size super last minute but she was so accommodating. I asked for fine line and it is probably one of the best fine line tattoos I have. Could not recommend the shop and April enough.
Thank you Devon , we are glad you had a great experience with us, we hope to see you next time you are in town .
Fantastic experience: Walked in later in the evening for a spur of the moment tribute tattoo for my cat who recently passed. Chris and team were amazing and kind and helped me make light of a situation that had been causing me grief. My tattoo captured all the silly weirdness of my little alien cat. Thanks Team!
Thank you Roxanne we are glad we you had a great experience here at the shop, we hope to see you soon.

Thank you Juliana for your review, we appreciate your time and business, we are glad that you had a great experience with us , we hope to see you soon for your next one .
Fantastic experience: Went in on a whim as a walk-in on a Monday afternoon with my husband. We were immediately greeted and felt welcomed by the owner, Chris. Staff were friendly, the shop was clean, and prices were good. We ended up getting three smaller sized tattoos (about 2-5in) and we are very pleased with the results. I got one script tattoo that I had been wanting for a while and the results exceeded my expectations and one from the flash sheets they had up (both done by Josh). My husband did the “Get what you get” gumball-style machine, and ended up getting a design that was pretty meaningful to him (tattoo done by Frosty). I’ve been recommending this shop to family and friends. We are definitely planning to go back to get more tattoos (:
Thank you for your review we appreciate your review,
And we are glad that you had a good experience at the shop , we hope to see you guys soon for your next tattoo.

From the moment you walk in, the entire staff makes you feel incredibly welcomed. Everyone greets you with genuine warmth and makes sure you know you’re in the right place. The energy is unmatched. April went above and beyond to bring my vision to life with her detailed and beautiful work. Her attention to detail and professionalism were everything I hoped for—and more. The shop is perfectly located in the heart of Hollywood, with tons of cool spots to explore once you're done with your session. Plus, there's a large parking lot in the back, making it super easy to get in and out without the usual Hollywood hassle. Huge shoutout to the entire team at Old Tradition Tattoo for consistently delivering top-tier service. I 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking for quality work and an amazing atmosphere!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Thankful for April accommodating me as a walk-in on my trip from DC. She made my friends and I feel welcomed, was very sweet and did an amazing job on my LOTR tattoo. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone visiting the area, she might be the best artist on the strip!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Great vibes from all the artists in there. You can tell everyone supports one another and just hearing them compliment each others work just shows it's a positive environment. Sam did such an amazing job with creating an arm wrap for me along with me getting 2 designs from a couple of her flashes. Definitely will be coming back for more tattoos!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Came here to get a tattoo that I saw on IG by tattoo artist Sammie aka Crunchie.mee ! Loved her vibe from the moment she said hello to me and made me feel so comfortable. She gave me an awesome simple black line Sailor Moon! That came out super Kute!! So VERY ❤️ HAPPY how she came out. Please check her out and add to her portfolio! She is a budding artist, but I can definitely see her becoming an amazing tattoo artist. Can't wait to add my Tuxedo mask in the future. See you soon, Sammie!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: It was an amazing experience! My fiancé and I got tattoos from their $80 flash sale and they looks great! The staff there are very sweet (shoutout to April, Sam, and Chris) and friendly. I highly recommend to get your tattoo here because it’s always high quality.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin? I had such a great experience at Old Tradition Tattoo. I was visiting L.A. from San Diego for a business trip and decided to explore the Hollywood area just to see what was going on. I had absolutely no intention of getting a tattoo, but the $80 Summer Flash Deals sign outside the shop caught my eye. I thought to myself, I haven’t gotten a tattoo in a long time, why not? So I went in to check it out. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by ChrisSuicide, the owner and the artist who ended up doing my tattoo. He offered his help right away and let me know he was available to answer any questions. Sam also introduced herself and immediately made me feel welcome. She was incredibly friendly and had a great energy that put me at ease. I browsed through their art books and found a design that matched something I had been wanting for a while. I talked it over with Chris and he instantly understood my vision. He listened carefully, addressed any concerns I had, and explained his approach in a way that helped me visualize what the final piece would look like. Once I saw how clearly he grasped the idea, I was all in. They took me in as a walk-in and started the process almost right away. The whole experience was smooth, relaxing, and honestly the perfect way to wait out traffic before heading back to San Diego. Next time I’m in L.A., I’ll definitely be coming back for another piece. Highly recommend.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: April did 2 tattoos for me yesterday and I am thrilled with the results. The care I received before, during and after was top tier as well! I recommend Old Tradition Tattoo to anyone in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Best Friday the 13th tattoo I’ve had so far! I’m from Florida and just stumbled across this shop while walking down the strip looking for the best Friday the 13th deals. They were able to work with me on a design I liked with the budget I had and the outcome was better than expected. Chris is really good at what he does and everyone at the shop was super friendly and welcoming. Would love to go back next time I’m in California!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I came in for the Friday the 13th flash tattoos and was greeted by Sammie, who was extremely nice and professional! I was then introduced to April Teixeira who took the designs I wanted and even customized them for me. Overall there was a nice, welcoming feeling in the shop and I came out with two badass tattoos and very happy! Thanks y'all
Thank you
