This is my third tat and by far the best for a few reasons. I got it on vacation, I had a pleasant artist, and the price was right. I just happened upon the shop while walking on Venice Beach. I went in there and was greeted by Andy. I liked that he quickly acknowledge me and then proceeded to chat with me about what I was looking for. I was uncertain about what I wanted, so he gave me a card and told me to call when I was ready.
Well, I called him the next evening with a totally different idea and design and made an appointment to be his first client for next the day. I found a design online and he took it and tweeked it to make it something special. He was very professional & patient. It is a really AWESOME tat. He made PERFECTION!!!
My husband wishes that he could go back and get his next tat from him.
Andy & Buzzbomb is highly recommended.
I came here for the first and second tattoo, both done by Mando. He's great, really nice, and converses throughout the whole process to keep you comfortable. I came in, he gave me a price, and took me in. No appointment needed.
The first tattoo faded..fast. It might be because it was my first and I might not have known exactly how to take care of it, but noted.
The second one came out fairly nice, though he didn't fully connect the cursive on the quote that I had, but it's not a big deal, it's not noticeable.
My friend, K, wanted to get her tattoo touched up because it was fading. She wanted it to add a green tint to it as well as writing. The green never really showed up and ended up looking muddy, but the scripture was lovely.
He also gave a discount to my friend who has been wanted a navel piercing, which she did end up taking the offer. However, after it was done, it was crooked..
This is on the boardwalk of Venice beach and a fairly large studio. Everything is sterilized, Â they even change gloves several times throughout the entire process. This is a priced by piece studio, and you need to pay upfront. They accept cash and credit. It's a pretty popular tourist area, so taking bus is your best bet.
alright so here is what went down. Â i decided that duece nipple piercings would be superbly funny. Â i got these piercings done by Buzzbomb; Â it was the first time i had every altered my body so nipple one produced what i can only describe as an acid flash back. Â i was tripping balls, sound, light, and time disappeared for a moment and when they came back, all the colors lighter than a certain shade were solid white outlined by dark translucent colors. All of the employees were very fast in getting me water and offering me Smarties, apparently sugar and water help when you're impaling parts of your body. Â over all, it was a very hospitable and personal experience. Â i dont think other parlours offer such kindness.
