Preachers And Fools

I am very picky about my tattoos, I have 15 of them so far and can say that Sara Lou is the best tattoo artist that has done work on me.

Nope. Not at all.
First of all, this place is in the back of clothing shop that looks like a cross between Ed Hardy and Harley Davidson, lmao. That should have been our cue to leave right away. We walked past all the cheaply made, blinged out thermals and sweatshirts to the register, where a lady who looked beyond cracked out slurred something to me, so I asked about the tattoos. She didn’t even say anything but pointed to the back… okay, second cue to leave. We walked back there and were greeted (hah, greeted, I use that term loosely) by a Wednesday Addams look alike with a bad British accent.
She pretty much outright refused to do what my boyfriend wanted, even though the shop was deserted. He told her what he wanted, and she started going on and on about how she wouldn’t be able to do it that small and blah blah blah. Well, he’s way too nice, standing there listening to her speech and «uh huh, okay“ing along to it, so I interrupt and say «okay then, if you can’t do what he wants, we will take our business to someone who is capable» and walked out.
Beyond weird experience. I’m sure she’s lovely, as both other reviewers had good experiences… maybe this was a bad night?
Doesn’t matter, we won’t be back.

Sara Lou.
I found her ad in the music section of the LA Weekly. Her work caught my eye right away and I looked her up online. I was completely blown away with her use of color and since I had alot of black and gray stuff I was super excited and set up an appointment right away.
I desperately needed to cover a pesky old tattoo from yesteryear on my arm and really wanted a good olé Swallow with beautiful lines and color.
I sent her a pic of my nuisance and she told me to come in a few days later.
When I arrived Sara Lou was professional, nice and made me feel very comfortable with her ability.
The end result was amazing and people compliment me on it pretty much whenever my arms show!
I went back and had alot of touch-​ups done from the work of my previous tattoo artist and she did a stellar job.
Her rate is fair and lets face it you should probably not bargain shop when you are getting tattoos.
Sara Lou is a great tattoo artist! I plan to get more work soon.
Cheers

EXCEEDED EVERY EXPECTATION!
Ok, so really all you need to do to understand the superior caliber of Preachers & Fools is to look at the pics of my right arm!
I am so totally thrilled by the work I had done here, it has exceeded my highest expectations, and instilled me with a new found sense of conviction towards what i do. Cant wait to go in for more!
Jim is nothing short of a samurai in terms of his precision, skill and discipline, and his bedside manner made the 53 hours that it took to finish fly by!
You can see the work he did for me at
