Mohave Creative

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into this tattoo studio, the atmosphere felt calm and welcoming. The space was clean, well organized, and thoughtfully laid out, which immediately helped put me at ease. Nothing felt intimidating or rushed, and the overall energy made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. The staff was professional, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. Everything was explained clearly, and I always felt informed about what was happening. That level of transparency and care makes a huge difference, especially when it comes to comfort and trust. I travel often and stream my experiences along the way, and this is exactly the kind of studio I feel confident recommending. It felt well run, respectful, and genuinely focused on providing a great experience. Follow me on Instagram @AutumnTheNomad

Negative experience: DO NOT get pierced here! I cant speak for the tattoo side but I can for the piercing. The man who pierced me was very clearly stoned. Beyond that, I bought a matching pair of jewelry. The “matching pair” was haphazardly picked out of a drawer of random pieces of jewelry seemingly collected with no professional sourcing. The two pieces ended up being made of different materials, one of which turned black and irritated my piercing. They use non-implant grade pieces allow non-licensed people to do the piercings.

Negative experience: DO NOT GO HERE. Very sus. Went to get a super quick couple tattoos added to my arm. Waited for 15 mins at the door, and then another 45 mins inside. Shop was dead empty and they just kept delaying the tattoos. We got a weird feeling and walked out, just to go to another (very reputable) tattoo shop who said we saved ourselves by getting out of there. I don’t know what’s going on here but don’t waste your time.

Negative experience: Schedule appointment days prior, went to shop, waiting an hour and 15 mins only for Johnny Ocean not to show up! No wonder the place is closed down to the bones. Avoid at all cost and go to a professional shop!

Negative experience: Was running late to my appointment but was unable to contact them. Phone kept going to voicemail, and the box was full. Neither of the emails I found worked and the messages I sent bounced back. Instagram DMs closed. Website had 404 error. By the time I got there, it said they were closed for lunch break so I waited over 40 minutes but no one came. Finally was able to leave a voice message and asked for a class back, a week later I still haven't heard for anything. At least the appointment deposit was only $1 (piercing). My friend had a great experience 2 years ago when I accompanied them for a tattoo so not sure why this was my experience.

Fantastic experience: Johnny Ocean the owner is really nice guy down to earth I met him through the other tattoo artist Zoso who did my first tattoo I love it. I went back a couple of days ago with a friend who was doing some work for him and I met this beautiful woman and Johnny designed a great tattoo for her and he put it on her wrist and it came out looking so amazing and she said she this was the second time she’s been here and she came back to get her tattoo for her birthday. Nice work Johnny I’m coming back for my next tattoo

Negative experience: I don’t know why it says they are open until 11 pm. I walked by at 1:50 pm and it is not open, it is gated off. Says closed on the door, but open online. Waste of time making the commute. In addition, their phone goes straight to voicemail and the voicemail box is full…

Negative experience: Completely disrespectful with our time. We were there since 3pm and came back at 5pm just for him to make us wait until 7pm while he was sleeping or something, tried calling him but would ignore us and not come out of the room, has a complete disregard for human decency.

Negative experience: This was about april of 2024, walked in, they took me within an hour. Everyone was very nice, but I some pretty bad tattoos- the line work is very poor and has healed even worse. seemingly by a newer artist, at full price ($350-400 i believe)

Negative experience: I was on the phone with my sister while she went in for an appointment. The services were previously paid for before service but he wouldn’t proceed without a tip. She politely reminded him that she had already paid and he began threatening her and saying if she didn’t tip she wouldn’t get service or a refund! He then threatened law enforcement saying he “knows people in the lapd”. Bad business all around!

Fantastic experience: I had the best time getting tattooed at Mohave Creative! The staff was so welcoming and helpful. The artist did an incredible job and I'm absolutely in love with my new ink. ✨️

Negative experience: absolutely unprofessional studio, piercers are nice, but their manager (johnny i believe?) does not know how to run a shop efficiently and effectively. he upcharged me for jewelry and is not giving the proper care and thought to training his employees. very unfortunate.

Fantastic experience: Have been curious about Mohave Creative, so i popped in. Don’t let the outside fool you, this is the coolest tattoo shop I’ve ever been in and I’ve been in a lot. It’s more than a tattoo and piercing shop, it’s an art gallery as well. It’s spotless, and clean, which tells me, they take pride in their work and environment. I gotta chance to hang with the owner, Jonny Cool as the other side of the pillow. He’s calm, collected, no tattooist ego and just a flat out real person. Mohave Creative is where I’ll be getting my work done.

Fantastic experience: I am very happy with my tattoo.  It was my first one and I was not sure what to expect.  Jonny and the rest of the team worked patiently with me to ensure the design I had in mind was converted perfectly into reality.

Negative experience: Called the day before and made an appointment for a piercing for my friend and I. The next day, we arrived on time as the shop was opening. Piercer was not in the shop yet. We thought, “ok, the shop just opened so maybe he was just on the way in for the day”, and we were fine waiting for a little bit. We ultimately waited for over an hour and a half and still no piercer. Decided to just leave at that point.

The Care and Attention With the Best Intentions Has Made My First Tattoo Experience The Only Experience to WatchMyDreamsManifestIntoMyReality UsingTheArtofTattooAndDesign ThanksMohave!

Fantastic experience: I was visiting LA and decided it was time to add another tattoo and I’m so glad I did. Grace was awesome touching up my design, keeping the classic 8-bit style I was looking for while cleaning it up to make it clearer. Jonny is an incredible artist and I am extremely impressed with how well this turned out! It was a very detailed given the size of it and staying true to the pixel art. You can tell that he loves what he does and takes pride in his work. Thank you Jonny and Grace so so much!!

Fantastic experience: I came to Mohave while on vacation to get my nose pierced and tooth gems. Everyone was so nice, funny, professional, and they did great work! I’ve never had a piercing heal as fast as this one. The woman who did my teeth came in on her day off to service me. Can’t wait to visit the west coast again and I pay another visit to Mohave! <3

Negative experience: This place is an absolute MESS. Got a piercing from Jonny and his breath smelled of alcohol and B.O. Never coming back. Floors smells like dog piss.. Bathrooms never have soap or paper towels. I saw cocaine remnants , pills near the toilet and dead roaches and mice droppings in the restroom as well. Gross. I'm surprised this place is still operating

Fantastic experience: Jonny is awesome, and his shop is beautiful. This place should have a waiting list! He’s done 2 tattoo’s on me and touched another one up. He’s super clean, patient, meticulous, and knowledgeable. Not to mention a highly skilled artist in my opinion. This place is a must visit if you’re getting a tattoo. I believe the shop minimum is $100, which is well worth it. He will take care of you before, during, and after your visit.

Fantastic experience: You can’t go wrong with this place! Mohave Tattoo is an exceptional tattoo salon that exudes an immediate sense of comfort and assurance when you step through its doors. I’ve been there for two years now (for tattoos and piercings) and I have consistently received impeccable service! I have no negative feedback to offer. Three words come in mind when I think of Mohave : talent, trust, and professionalism. The owner, Jonny, is the kindness and sweetness person! We can tell this place is his baby! Without hesitation, I recommend Mohave Tattoo with 200%.

Fantastic experience: I have gotten several tattoos here and recently my first touch up. I have enjoyed every session and loved every piece I've gotten here. I have recommend this shop to friends and family and I plan to get more work in the future.

Negative experience: I've never left a bad review before but genuinely my experience here cost me so much money and was potentially dangerous. I've never had piercings before and wanted to get my lobes pierced- I was super candid and told them I didn't know anything about the process. They were friendly and took me in as a walk-in. I don't remember the piercers name but I think he mentioned he's the main tattooer? Regardless, he led me to a wall of earrings and told me to pick any. I asked what he recommends and all he said was something small. I picked the smallest earrings I saw that I thought were cute, and he said they were good to use. I have attached the picture of them below but not only were they butterfly backs, they were also coated black which can chip off and mess with healing. I didn't know they were dangerous until 8 days after the piercing, when my ear was swollen and I complained to a friend who knows more about piercings. I understand I picked them myself, but MULTIPLE times I mentioned I didn't know anything about the piercings and would not know what was safe. As a professional, the worker should have known better and should have warned me. I went to some other piercing shops to get second opinions, and both locations I went to said the same thing-- that what he put in my ear was dangerous and should be swapped immediately. I ended up getting them swapped elsewhere for smaller, flatback, titanium earrings and within the day my ear was no longer swollen. The whole experience cost me $180 because I had to pay $90 here and then $90 to get them swapped out. Also, after I described the experience to my friend who knows more about piercing, he was suspicious of the health code regulations. It's been over a week, and I wasn't super paying attention to what the guy was doing so I can't say for sure- but the process I remember does not match the standard practice my friend described. I do not remember him wiping my ear with any disinfectant, nor using a tooth-pick with ink (which is what my friend said is generally used to create the marks?) I don't wanna say for sure its a violation because I would not know the details and it's been a while, but if you sort by negative reviews I'm not the first person to point this out.

Fantastic experience: Wendy and Chacha were the best! I came in cause I lost the ball to my septum and they were beyond helpful! They were so attentive and kind that it made the whole process so great. They even helped me change one of my nose piercings since it was too big for my noise. I would recommend this shop to anyone! Not only did I have fun but my piercings look so much better!

Fantastic experience: Same day appt to get some ear piercings. Staff was really nice and the owner, Johnny, is a great too. The attention to detail and time he took to do a couple of piercings was super nice. I might even go back and get a tattoo!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to Mohave Creative twice now. Once to get a new piece of (art) ink, and the other time to touch up the work I got done. Both times I was super impressed with how clean the studio is kept, and also how inspirational the tattoo artists are!! They really are passionate about their work, and do an amazing job bouncing ideas while designing/creating the vision for your tattoo. I’ve always called ahead to check how busy they are, but never needed to book an appointment. I was given water to make sure I stayed hydrated - and felt really comfortable thanks to their awesome team!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mohave!! They did a great job at understanding exactly what I wanted and making sure that I was 100% happy with the tattoo placement before starting. Elder was my artist and he did an amazing job. All of the staff is super friendly and the shop is very clean and welcoming! Very refreshing compared to the other tattoo shops I've gone to. Will definitely be returning :)

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend coming here for all of your tattoo and piercing needs! The staff there is great especially the front desk. Steven made it very easy to set up my appointment and really set the tone for the shop. Monste made my first tattoo experience a great one, she was very understanding, worked with me to get my tattoo the way I wanted it, and took her time on the small details. My friend also got her naval pierced by Silent, he was able to calm her nerves by talking her through the process and was very fast and efficient with the piercing.

Negative experience: Update: I got the owner on the line and he was lovely. He offered to replace the lost jewelry and assess the damaged piercing. I’ll update after the experience. He also said that the piercer (Jessica) no longer works at their studio. Awful experience. 1) I was charged for an additional cartilage piercing. I’ve called the shop and emailed the owner/helpline multiple times to no avail. I had to request the adjustment through my credit card company 2) The piercer was friendly but very inexperienced. She is not a “master piercer.” -She was neither able to remove nor place (not pierce just a jewelry change) a nose ring. -She placed my forward helix piercing too close to the edge despite pre-mapping. I’m currently 10 weeks post piercing and it literally just RIPPED through the sliver of skin she left (See picture). I told her it looked off at the time of the piercing and she assured me that it would heal straight. -She so poorly installed a $195 Opal pin labret that it fell out ONE WEEK LATER (I’ve never had a labret fall out so quickly anywhere and NEVER from my helix) -Was unable to meet my requests for jewelry sizing/color/placement. -She stood right over my shoulder while I paid and tipped. I felt pretty uncomfortable from the whole experience. 10/10 would never get another piercing here.

Fantastic experience: I've gotten 4 different tattoos here now, and multiple piercings- I cannot say enough good things about this place. The shop is immaculate and they have a really dope vibe and creative interior design. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and outrageously talented. Would highly recommend them (and do) to anyone and everyone I know.

Fantastic experience: Came here for a daith piercing, and was taken care of by Silent. The shop is HUGE. Super clean, friendly staff, really cool decor and music. Their prices are very reasonable, and Silent did an awesome job. I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: The best tattoo studio in the United States of America!!! I got 4 big tattoos from Master Maxim. Excellent and the best masters . A large selection of masters for any style of tattoo. Very nice and not expensive prices.The store is very clean, beautiful and atmospheric. I want to go back there all the time.

Fantastic experience: I would like to recommend this tattoo studio and the very good tattoo artist Maxim to you. He did this tattoo for me, he is very professional in his work and makes a very professional sketch, he works very cleanly and neatly. In my opinion, you can’t find a better tattoo artist than him

Fantastic experience: Punky and Nadia were amazing - very kind and attentive. I called in the morning, and they fit me in at 4pm day of. My 15 year old industrial piercing had closed up partially and Punky took the time to try to get it back open. I ended up having to only repierce one of the two piercings, which was a better outcome than I expected. Very grateful!

Fantastic experience: Monique pierced my helix a week ago, and it’s healing amazingly. It was a spontaneous walk-in, and they were very helpful and kind. Definitely a great experience

Fantastic experience: Monique did my Philtrum piercing last nightand she was so sweet and kind. She took her time making sure the placement was correct and I couldn't be happier. Thank you again Monique! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I went in to get my helix pierced and had a fantastic experience with Monique. Not only was the piercing over within seconds, but she was also friendly, kind, and enthusiastic. Highly recommend you get your piercings done here and ask for Monique!

Fantastic experience: This place was great and very welcoming. The staff was great and would make conversation in order for you to feel comfortable. The piercer I got to see today was beyond great. She was very friendly and engaged in conversation. I believe her name was Monique. Made me feel comfortable and explained the safety after care procedures. I will definitely come back here to get the other side of my nose pierced.

Fantastic experience: Got my very first tattoo here and came as a walk-in. The staff were super nice and professional. I had Chris do my tattoo and even though it wasn't his style, he did a very good job at creating what I wanted. He also made me feel very comfortable since it was my first tattoo and was great at informing me what to do and how to take care of my tattoo. The place had such a great vibe and lots of amazing artists there and I would love to come back again some day to get another tattoo from them.

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo here for the first time and from my experience the staff were all extremely friendly and highly skilled. I got my tattoo done by David and he did a fantastic job on my piece. It took about 3.5-4 hours to complete and he charged me for only 3 cuz he was really excited about the piece, he might have been more excited than I was. He was very light handed and from all the tattoos I’ve gotten this one was the least painful despite it being the most complex. I would a 100% be back for David to finish the rest of my sleeve

Fantastic experience: What an incredible experience for my first time! The staff was so amazing and helpful!! Highly recommend them and my artist Milk was incredible!! He is so talented, listens to his clients and made my first tattoo experience was so awesome! I will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Walked in for a simple second lobe piercing and was able to see someone within 30 minutes which was awesome. The piercing was done in a private room, which was so nice. Monique made sure I was able to help determine the placement of the piercing (based on future piercings I might want) and discuss jewelry options prior to any piercing. Thank you for my cute new piercings, Monique!

Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo at Mohave. Very pleased with the whole experience- the people were awesome and the tattoo came out fabulous! Thank you Chris!

Fantastic experience: I went to get a ball replaced on my industrial piercing. Monique took care of me! She was awesome. Helped me with everything I needed and she was nice to talk to . Thank you Monique and Mohave Creative !

Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo and I could not have asked for a better experience. They made me feel at ease and the establishment is pretty chill. I brought in my own design. Wolf was my tattoo artist and did a perfect job. I am super happy!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! The environment is so great. I came in with a design idea. The cool girl at the front desk had me show it to her and immediately connected me with Milk. I knew from the enthusiasm he showed for my concept that he was the right artist for me. He took my basic concept for a design and worked with me to make sure I was happy with all details. My first session was totally smooth and he checked in with me to see how I was doing through the whole thing. My piece healed up perfectly and already looks amazing even though it's not fully done. I can't wait to go in for my next session to finish it. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality work.

Fantastic experience: 5 star experience today at Mohave! Monique is fantastic. Not only is she experienced with piercings, but she also helped me decide the perfect jewelry. I’ll definitely be coming back to her in the future.

Fantastic experience: I ADORE THIS PLACE!! I came to Mohave Creative for my 18th birthday! I felt super comfortable despite it being my first time in a tattoo parlor. Kat, the person who did both of my tattoos, is an incredibly skilled artist; I highly recommend Kat for fine line tattoos. The staff is accommodating and respectful, and they’re all amazing at their craft. If you’re looking for a cool, supportive environment that’ll leave you feeling ten times more confident, visit Mohave Creative. ♥️

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Mohave Creative to get a new piercing, and Vanessa was my piercer. From start to finish, I was impressed with her professionalism, skill, and friendly demeanor. She took the time to talk me through the process, answer all of my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and informed. During the piercing itself, Vanessa was incredibly precise and gentle. She explained each step of the process and checked in with me to make sure I wasn't experiencing any discomfort. Her attention to detail was impressive, and I felt confident that she was taking great care to ensure that my piercing would heal properly. After the piercing was done, Vanessa provided thorough aftercare instructions and answered all of my follow-up questions. She also checked in with me a few days later to see how I was feeling and make sure everything was going smoothly. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with Vanessa at Mohave Creative, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and caring piercer. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and friendly demeanor make her an asset to the team, and I'm grateful for the excellent care she provided. Thank you, Vanessa!

Fantastic experience: it was such a an amazing experience! I went in as a walk in, and Vanessa treated me super well, and she was really quick with the two piercings that I decided to get! She gave me really good after care of instructions and I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in Santa Monica!!

Fantastic experience: Got my ears pierced for the first time by Vanessa and she did an amazing job! I was pretty nervous but she was super warm, friendly, and professional. Painless and lots of fun! Highly recommend that you go to her for any piercing needs.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place first thing first when I entered I just felt welcome everyone was cool and greet you as they walked by. My appointment for 12:00p.m my Artist was Milk he had a real cool and chill vibe to him 12:10 he had me in the chair and was ready to get started. After I was done they sent me home with cream and other stuff for my tattoo they really take care of their clients here. He’s also super light handed which was amazing 10/10 would recommend I’ll definitely be back soon. Thanks Milk

Fantastic experience: Rene at the front desk was so nice, I didn’t even care the walk-in wait time was an hour and half! My partner and I both got tattoos from Andri (lovesong.tattoos). Andri listened and really cared about what we were asking for in a tattoo. Place was clean & funky and 1000% will go again for other tattoos(:

Fantastic experience: I came in to get my septum pierced. Before the piercing, Vanessa answered all of my questions about aftercare and the healing process. The piercing itself was quick and painless. There was a moment of pain when Vanessa put in the jewelery (maybe a 3 or 4/10) then I was good to go. I've had the piercing for about a week and I haven't had any issues. Unless I'm cleaning it, I really don't notice it's there. I had a great experience at Mohave and I'm planning to go back for other piercings.

Fantastic experience: Came in day off and only waited 30 minutes for a small thing, but the inside is super nice and the front desk are very friendly. Our artist, Kat, was also very polite and her line work is awesome. Would definitely come back and visit again.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Vanessa and the team at Mohave for a little while now and nobody makes me feel more cared for. So knowledgeable, professional and fun. I found myself feeling excited when I had a piercing emergency the other day and knew that I’d get to see that whole team over there.

Fantastic experience: So This is my third time coming to Mohave creative, and want to highlight the fact that everyone there treats you with tons of kindness, professionalism and a blast of energy ! I added to my sleeve and Chris took what I wanted and made it into something wonderful. He takes his time, and cares about every shade, every line, and all the details. For someone who has/had struggles with their body and mental health, it's the details and the human connections that really help heal those feelz. Thank you Chris and Mohave creative ! C'mon, Check out these beaming sun kissed beauties !✨

Fantastic experience: My first tattoo experience with Milk (@not_milk) was amazing! He was a very professional and calming presence and gave me great advice on placement and design. Definitely will come back here for my next one!

Fantastic experience: I've been here often, and always love the vibe of this place. It's also so close to where I live. I brought two friends in this time, and we were lucky that we could get Dean to tattoo all three of us. We had a blast, and were all soooo sooo happy with the end result. We came in with high expectations but Dean definitely exceeded them. He had some great ideas for our tattoos and they looked so much better than we had even hoped for. The whole process was so smooth, fast, and pain-free. I can definitely recommend coming here, ask for Dean, he will not disappoint!! :D

Fantastic experience: Dean did an amazing job! He drew up a design that matched my idea perfectly and the tattoo turned out amazing! He is great with super fine lines and I would trust him with tattooing me again any time! highly recommend the studio in general as well - everybody was super nice and booking an appointment was easy!

Fantastic experience: “Kat” at Mohave Creative did and excellent job on my fine-line tattoo. I asked for some last minute adjustments to a past tattoo and she put in a lot of work to make sure the design was perfect. This place absolutely exceeded my expectations, and I definitely recommend Kat for your next tat!!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I both got our tattoos done by Chris, who did an amazing job! He was very kind and friendly. It was my wives first tattoo and he instantely made her feel comfortable. We are so happy with the results and would highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: i will literally never go to another studio or artists because of how much i love this place. everyone is so sweet and welcoming, the atmosphere is amazing, and their artists are extremely talented. i’ve had 4 tattoos done by Milk and i recommend him to anyone i know that’s looking into getting a tattoo. he’s hilarious, gentle, and extremely talented. i’ve left with my expectations exceeded both times and i will definitely be back to see him again! 10000/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: My experience at Mohave Creation was absolutely amazing Liz who did my tattoos was amazing she does really good work. She make you feel comfortable 10/10 recommend will be going back for another tattoo

Fantastic experience: I got my vertical labret lip piercing done here yesterday and it came out really good! The piercer was nice and it was quick and not really painful. The price was reasonable too! I had other shops trying to charge me $140 and this place only charged me $90 including jewelry. It was a nice and clean shop and had a good vibe. I’m new to the area so I didn’t know of any specific tattoo shops but I’m happy I picked this one.

Fantastic experience: The guy that tattooed me was super nice and a great professional. He made me feel so comfortable and wanted to make sure that everything was just like i wanted it to be. No pressure if i wanted to change size or anything. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Kat is AMAZING!!! She did a fantastic job on what is THE most important tattoo I will get in my life. She did a portrait of my dog, Bunny. She captured his beautiful eyes and did so much detail work making it the best tattoo I’ve ever had. I have 7 others for reference. If you want a realism tattoo, Kat at Mohave creative is the person to go to!!! Oh and their place is really nice and clean. Very hygienic. The vibe is really relaxing. And the front desk girl, Kaia, is very very nice and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: I walked in for an appointment while visiting from NY and I’m so happy I did!! All of the employees/artists were very friendly and knowledgeable. My tattoo artist was Kat and I am beyond pleased with my tattoo!! I was indecisive about the placement but almost everyone in the shop gave me suggestions which I really appreciate. Next time I visit LA I’ll definitely be back!! Kat’s work was so clean my tattoo is literally perfect. 10/10!!!

Negative experience: Right after showing the front desk the tattoo I was given they scheduled me for Laser removal. I am 22 and have been getting tattoos for years now. I was worried when I did a walk in and my artist (Diego) seemed a bit in the clouds and was literally shaking when putting on the stencil. I showed him my photo reference and told him specifically that I need thin small lines to match my other tattoos. After it was finished I looked down to see a crooked bold tattoo. I was so in shock, still am, and felt even he knew he messed up. I don’t wish anything bad on the artist but wish if he wasn’t confident in this simple design to not have me be a test subject that I now, at 22, have to get laser removed.

Fantastic experience: I had my industrial pierced by Vanessa. She was amazing! My ear is differently shaped than other peoples so she helped with the placement. I love my new piercing! Me and my best friend got matching tattoos from Dean. He’s also amazing. About a week after I got my piercing it ended up falling out and I lost it. I came in and Ian cleaned it and put a new barbell in for me. Definitely an amazing shop.

Negative experience: It’s already my third session and Johnny still hasn’t finish my tattoo. I have wasted time and money. It’s not fair that he has me sitting for 8 hours each session and can’t finish my tattoo that’s a total of 24 hours. He charges me what he works, but I stay waiting a long time sitting on the chair. Very disappointed, I need to find someone to really finish my tattoo now. I can’t believe I paid over $2000.

Fantastic experience: Everyone that works at this shop is beyond amazing. Milk did my tattoo and it’s so sick. Clean, comfortable, and relaxing. I would recommend this shop to anyone. From getting your first tattoo to fitting the final piece in the puzzle, this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: I had my tattoo done by Milk and it was a great experience. He was so creative and helped me move to a design I loved. He let me obsess over every detail and make sure it came out exactly the way I wanted. During my tattoo he was friendly and professional with a great laugh. My tattoo came out great!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. I originally went in for a septum piercing then went back for a tattoo a few weeks later. Both Vanessa and Chris were great. Will definitely be back for more ink!

Fantastic experience: I got beautiful work done by Rylee. We worked together to create a beautiful piece that’s just what I wanted! I’m from out of town so will be back to get more work done by her

Fantastic experience: It started with a phone call to inquire about walk-ins. The man answering the phone was an absolute joy, and was so excited about the idea of someone getting a tattoo! He greeted us with a smile and handshake and ushered us back to the artist, Milk. He specifically put me with the artist best suited for the style I wanted. Turns out, the kind soul at reception was the owner! From consultation to application to care instructions, I’ve never had such a great experience while being in a shop or an artists chair. Milk was easy to talk to, respectful, honest about his thoughts on the design and placement, and so funny. And to top it all off- the tattoo is gorgeous and the price wasn’t so bad. Thanks Mohave! I’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff, Dean was amazing way better than what I was even expecting! Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Fantastic experience: I'm a repeat customer, having gotten several piercings here. I love coming here. It's professional, scenic and friendly. I almost look for excuses to return, just because I find the atmosphere so fun and positive. Highly recommend. Ian was awesome and very knowledgeable about all related to piercings.

Fantastic experience: rylee was amazing and super sweet. one of the coolest tattoo shops interior wise. i’m absolutely obsessed with my tattoo, will definitely be coming back in the future

Fantastic experience: I wanted somebody to do some work on an existing tattoo, which was a cover-up and needed some blending done in the background. I discussed the project with Milk and he executed it perfectly. I highly recommend the professionalism of the studio, as a whole, and the creativity and competence of Milk individually. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Staff is amazing! Shop is amazing! Super friendly and my tattoo is perfect! It was a 3 hour drive but so worth the drive! Definitely will be coming back!

Fantastic experience: I got a Nose Piercing, and The girl who did my piercing was absolutely nice, fast, and gentle and did an incredible job. Offered me multiple gems, w/ and w/o color. I had chose a big gem and didn’t like it, switched it to a smaller one and I loved it. She was extremely patient. I love her work, and I highly suggest this place. All the utensils she used was out of a package, clean & the store itself was Absolutely clean, organized, and very good customer service from the girl in the front desk, and the girl who did my piercing! Will definitely be coming back, if plan to have any piercings !!

Fantastic experience: Pleasantly surprised with my first Friday the 13th tattoo experience. The shop as a whole had an amazingly welcoming and beautifully cozy atmosphere. I expected the artists to be drained out by the time I was up, instead they stayed smiling, chugging redbulls and making sure everyone was taken care of. My artist was Chris. He took his time insuring I was happy with sizing and placement of my new tattoo. Even with all the Friday the 13th chaos going on, I never felt rushed by him or any of the staff during my time there. I really appreciate his patience in taking the time to explain aftercare to me in detail as well as answering any questions that came up throughout the session. Before I left, Chris assured me should I have further questions/inquiries, he would always be reachable. This experience exceeded expectations and I am overly grateful to have stumbled across this jewel of a place. Absolutely going to be a returning customer! I highly recommend you giving this place a shot; you’ll be happy you did! Shop+Artist’s= 10/10

Fantastic experience: This is the only tattoo shop I go to in LA. I love it so much!! When you go, definitely ask for Rylee or Diego! They’ve both given me two of my favorite tattoos. But ALL the artists are insanely talented :)

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience. From ease of booking, to the consultation with the artist to a welcoming environment. Rylee/Rosie is awesome, she made the design I came in with better! Like, way better! I loved that she made suggestions and we bounced details back and forth. I got a pretty sentimental piece and felt comfortable enough to share with Rylee, I nearly cried when it was all done. So thankful for amazing artists and humans like the ones at Mohave. I’m in love with my piece and will definitely be returning. Thank you for making the vision come to life.

Fantastic experience: Got my first tat here. Kat was my artist, she was very professional and did an amazing job on a pair of matching tats w my sister. Will be coming back to her for sure!

Positive experience: My overall experience was pretty good. The girl at the front desk is so friendly and welcoming. I really loved the whole vibe of the shop. My artist was Gabriel and he did a fine job, however he wasn’t super friendly… he said about 2 words to me. He didn’t ask what my tattoo was about or make conversation at all. It was completely silent the entire time he tattooed me. Again, he did a fine job but I would’ve liked more of an interaction with my artist. Other than that I had a great experience and so did my friend who also got a tattoo by a female artist. I’d like to come back again but schedule with a different artist!

Fantastic experience: people were easygoing and friendly, made the whole process super straight forward and easy. piercer was AWESOME, super considerate and communicative and got the job done sO quick and easy. also took time to let me know some key don’ts with aftercare and how to best do it- also have me his insta so i could contact later if needed. overall, loved, will be my first choice for any future piercings and/or tattoos :)

Fantastic experience: I could not express how extremely kind everyone was. Once I walked in, I felt very welcomed and the energy was so positive. At first, it was only my friends getting tattoos but I decided to get a conch piercing last minute (note this was at 8:30pm, 30 minutes before they closed) and Vanessa was super kind enough to stay after closing to get it done since my friends were still getting their tattoos done. Vanessa was such a doll and a sweetheart! She made sure I was comfortable during and after getting pierced and made sure I liked the size of the jewelry, and luckily enough we were able to change my jewelry to a smaller size since the original one was a bit too big. She even sized my industrial bar that I’ve been wanting to change after it healed but didn’t know the size. Overall, it was the best experience I’ve had and will definitely go back when I visit Cali again!

Fantastic experience: Chris was fantastic!! My wife surprised me with a cover-up appointment for an ugly piece from another shop. Chris was able to work some magic and not only hide the original but also give me a sick tattoo that I can be proud of. We'll both be coming back to Chris for the next work we have done.

Fantastic experience: The entire experience at Mohave was great. When getting ink, the professionalism and cleanliness of the shop are table stakes. What makes a place rise above, like Mohave, are folks working there who support your vision. Milk is a very accomplished artist with a deft eye for detail, steady hand on the gun, great sense of humor and shared love for LA. recommend.

Fantastic experience: This was the only tattoo shop open after 9pm. Had my nose pierced by Ian. Super cool guy, very helpful. Front desk lady was also very helpful. would 100% recommend this place, it was full of good people.

Negative experience: I am not a person to write reviews but this experience was so horrible i had to share. My 2 friends and I came into Mohave to get a basic matching finger tattoo which would be all our first tattoo’s. We did some research and saw the place had amazing artists and a high star review so we went with it. The first artist they gave us was Dean and when he looked at our design he said that it was simple and any of their artist could do a great job on it. If it was such a simple job i do not understand why he didn’t want to complete the tattoo. Then they switched our artist that we don’t know the name of because she never introduced herself but she had a mask on and was constantly coughing. We looked on their instagram to try and find her but she was not an artist on their instagram highlights (while writing the review i found out her name is Sherry after some searching). She was very quiet and did not know the answers to most questions we were asking. When we asked about the price she said $100 but $200 if you want a future touch up. She even eventually kicked my friend out of the tattooing area to go sit in the waiting area while other people had their friends around watching them get tattooed. Once 2/3 of our friends were tattooed the front desk lady pulled the artist away to talk privately and when the artist came back she said it’s actually gonna be $150 and $200 if you want future touch ups. For being such a small basic tattoo it was way over priced and above their required $100 minimum. They did not honor the original quote after we already got tattooed. After our tattoos were complete we asked for the aftercare instructions which she knew nothing about and instead “sent” us a photo of instructions that we never received. Once we left we called to inform them we did not receive the instructions and they said the artist would send them again. Til this day we never received them. The next day the tattoos started to look weird but we thought it was apart of the healing process. It has been 2 weeks and the tattoos are absolutely horrible. There are parts already faded and each circle looks different. I attached photos of our inspo picture, the fresh tattoos, and the healed ones. Overall, it was a waste of money and I felt they took advantage of us being tattoo first timers. Sorry for the long review but in summary I would not recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mohave Creative! My artist was Gabriel and he did an amazing job with my tribal design tattoo! The staff was great, the shop had a great vibe, and overall really enjoyed my experience here!

Fantastic experience: Wow. This place was just up the street from my work place and some coworkers and I have been talking about getting some tattoos together. We haven’t had time but we finally made some and called for a walk-in. Miraculously, they had 4 available and there were four of us! We each told our artist our idea. They sketched something out. Had us all out within an hour. Super friendly and Leila (Layla) was at the front and welcomed us in like we were her friends. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo. Super dope shop with dope people.

Fantastic experience: This was my first tattoo and I couldn’t have found a better spot. My artist was Milk and he was so kind, reassuring, and extremely talented. I wanted something to commemorate my pup who passed away and he was honest and upfront. He ultimately gave me something I absolutely love (and it looks JUST like him). I have already received so many compliments and I couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be back to get another tattoo with Milk at Mohave Creative

Fantastic experience: First time getting a tattoo, staff was great, make me very comfortable. Milk was exceptional, he did an excellent job, love my tattoo.

Fantastic experience: It's such an awesome place! The people there are super nice and helpful. They walk you through everything thoroughly. Vanessa did mine and my friends shen men piercing and did such an amazing job! 100% trust and recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my experience with Dean. Both my friend and I were there for our first tattoos and we both wanted fine line. We both had a general idea of what we wanted but Dean helped develop the ideas into something even greater. He also helped us consider where we'd want them placed on our bodies with regard to pain and just the general aesthetic. Also he was extremely generous with his time and the overall service was very affordable. Can't wait to get my next tattoo with Dean!!!

Fantastic experience: Went to Jonny Ocean for a chest piece, his hyper realism is phenomenal. He is nice took great care of me can’t say enough great things about his work! The entire staff was polite, respectful an amazing shop in whole can’t wait for my next tattoo with them.
