Ink Kandy

This shop is amazing! Everyone there was friendly and cool. The atmosphere is really chill. I got my first tattoo from them and they were super helpful. They don’t bullshit you. I’ll definitely go back again for my next tattoo.

My tattoo artist was Bazzar. Tattoo artist was friendly. I didn’t get a custom piece, I was considering an «OHM» decided to walk in and get it. They were just opening for the day and waited about an hour for him to setup. This place is featured on TV so the prices are not economic. I literally wanted a small piece he wanted $ 160 for, I will post a picture of the tattoo if possible. His equipment wasn’t fully ready. Needle was super hot felt like he was cutting me with every line. I immediately felt like it was going to scar and it did inward. I bled through the outline, each line was extremely painful. I have an upper back piece that took 6 hours and it never hurt as much as this small 10 min ohm or bleed as much. Tattoo artist is friendly but shop is expensive and the work is mediocre. I would not recommend shop or artist.

I got my first tattoo done here. It means a lot to me as I am a violinist and it’s been a huge part of my life. That being said, for my first time, it was a lovely experience. Everyone is very welcoming. I got my tattoo done by Bazzar, one of the best out there. Not only is he a great tattoo artist, he also is a sweetheart and overall fun guy. I thought it would be a lot more painful, but to my surprise it wasn’t! Now either Bazzar has a really soft touch (is that even possible?) or his awesome personality was distracting from the needle repeatedly hitting my skin. He reassured me from the beginning that it wouldn’t be that bad. Anyway, I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get some ink done. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo! Thanks Ink Kandy!

Awesome shop! Joe «Jersey» Meinwieser as well as the whole shop treated us newbs with the utmost respect even though they were closed and especially since Joe was going on 24 hours of tattooing! I would highly recommend this place to everyone!

Love the staff here. Really Loved RUTHLESS and MONSTER. The piercer SAINT was cool too! It was a great kick back spot as well as a tattoo spot. I followed monster and saint from another shop and i can tell you the Ambiance was a lot better than that other dive they were at!

Gotta be one of the best collaborations of artists in LA.
U cant go wrong… these guys AND girls really put their heart into their art.
Sikk shit ! Check it out, u really gotta see it to believe it. Super friendly and helpful, they are all incredible artists and still have super reasonable prices.

My tattoo artist was Bazzar he was really chill and easy-​going. Being my first tattoo it really was an awesome experience, I will definitely be coming back here for my next ones. They have amazingly talented artists and really reasonable pricing. Bazzar also features on the show «Tattooing after Dark» on Oxygen, definitely funny cool guy. I would ¹⁰⁄₁₀ recommend to anyone. Just overall good vibe, good energy and nice, talented staff.

Both artists are very talented. James did my seahorse tattoo and it’s so detailed, I love it. He stayed late (until 5 in the morning) and put lots of effort into my piece. And Lexi is awesome by the way, she made me feel super welcome and is all about customer service; she’s a great person to talk to and really friendly. On top of its a beautiful shop, I’m loving the candy theme and the giant couch. I suggest checking them out, they work hard and give quality tattoos.

I was wondering around Hollywood and this place was playing my favorite song of all time, of course I went inside. I was blown away by how it looked inside. Like wonderland. It was clean and everyone was nice. So I was shock to find out it is a tattoo shop. They usually intimidate me. Ive been wanting a tattoo but am seldom impressed. The artists here were so talented it was hard to decide on who was going to do my piece. I decided on Ploud he’s edgy yet whimsical. I’ll post again after i get my piece done. I come from a customer service background and not only are they nice but they know what they’re talking about.

Having recently changed to Blue Horseshoe Tattoo I visited this place when it was Ink Kandy in 2010. Me and my friend were in LA for 2 weeks and we wanted a tattoo to commemorate the occasion. We passed this place on our way to K24 everyday and decided to check it out. We found the apprentice to be very friendly and helpful more so than a lot of Tattoo shop hands I’ve met. We booked in for the following week and were treated too some free drinks and a great conversation from the apprentice and the british piercer Saint. Mr Monster was well scary lol Huge dude didn’t say too much but did his work quickly and efficiently. The end result fantastic looking pieces, we were even treated to a shot of Jack afterward: D. The décor was sooo cool each room a glass little pod with iPod docks which i was allowed to put my iPhone in. Me and my mate got a tour of the shop showing us the great lil high tech studio in the back where we watched some films and generally hung out. There was also a huge Alice in wonderland like chair in the lobby. Its a shame the crew from here has disappeared which I discovered when I returned this year :(. Will always be a great memory.

Best artists to convene in one undeniably impressive shop. They have been offering raffles for a free tattoo each month too… recently had my leg done with the most mind-​blowing piece, the placement and everything was perfection. I am in awe, creative genius. Their entire staff rocks. Quality, originality and proficient talent reside here — by far the best shop around. Living here for 10+ years with shops on every corner this place will grab ya. Another topper… they have the least expensive rates around. Give them your vision and you will get some outstandingly fierce ink.
No BS here — the crew is straight up rad… friendly with direction. You feel at ease going in and respected. This is not your typical shop, no blinding fluorescent lights when you walk in — with walls covered in been there, seen that stencils… here you will find a gigantic cozy couch, a stairway to the 2^nd floor that taps light with each step, tunes and funky visuals from the plasmas. The ceiling foliage is creative and appealing too… just a personally feel-​good venue to be a part of… esthetically pleasing, savvy digs with amazing artists. Super clean and sterile environment. This is where you need to go for ink — period. They are totally spear-​heading the industry… LOVE!
