Great experience. According to James, one of the artists there, this is the oldest still-operational tattoo shop in the world. It definitely has the décor to back it up too – Lyle Tuttle’s plaques and awards all over the shop. I just got a small piece done by James and he was great. I’m really surprised there aren’t more Unilocal reviews for this place. He was very professional and easy to talk with during the session. James was saying that they make a point of taking walk-ins too, so if someone has an appointment with an artist they try to have a second artist handy to take the walk-ins. Apparently this place changed ownership last year so the Unilocal review expired but they are definitely legit, worth going to.

Lyle Tuttle, the Father of Modern Tattooing… a living legend, for tattooists and collectors alike. I just wanted to visit the shop, possibly meet Lyle and get my picture taken. All this happened. Lyle, 84, was a pleasure to talk to and a riot –listening to his stories. I wanted to write this review mostly to shout out to James and Dave, both of whom were very friendly and amazing artists in their own right. The shop hasnt moved since Lyle opened back in 1960– so for you serious collectors, I recommend the experience of getting an awesome piece in this historic tattoo shop from any artist that works in this shop. –Todd Trygstasd Voodoo Tattoo, Kona Hawaii

The tattoo museum is amazing, everyone was friendly and the tattoo I got was perfect. If you want a real traditional tattoo I encourage you to walk in and talk to John, Dave or James. I’ll definitely be back!

This is my favorite Tattoo shop in the city. It’s such an iconic tattoo shop and I love how historically rich it is. They really did a great job keeping it authentic! Even if you’re not planning on getting a tattoo, it’s nice to just walk in there and look at the legendary artwork on the walls. The staff is super friendly and everybody always makes you feel welcome. I got tattooed by both David and James and both tattoos came out amazing. Would definitely recommend!

If you want fun, easy going, salt-of-the-earth individuals to tattoo you with expertise(especially in the traditional style) this is the right place for you. I’m getting my tattoos from James. I recommend him and David very highly. They are great at collaborating and do impeccable work.
