Single-use everything
Fresh, sealed needles and disposable tubes for every client — opened in front of you and discarded after.
Our story
Fifteen years in the same chair
Ink House opened in 2009 in a converted foundry on the east side of Los Angeles. It started with one artist, one chair, and a simple rule: never put out work you wouldn't wear yourself.
That standard pulled in like-minded artists, and the studio grew into the six-resident space it is today — still independent, still appointment-only, still obsessed with getting the details right.
We've tattooed first-timers and collectors, cover-ups and tributes, tiny fine-line pieces and full back projects spanning years. What hasn't changed is the care that goes into every line.
Hygiene & safety
Clean is non-negotiable
A great tattoo means nothing if the process isn't safe. We hold ourselves to medical-grade standards on every single appointment.
Autoclave sterilization
All reusable equipment is hospital-grade autoclaved and logged, with spore-tested cycles.
Licensed & certified
Every artist is bloodborne-pathogen certified and the studio is fully licensed and inspected.
Sterile booths
Each station is barrier-wrapped and fully sanitized between every client, no exceptions.
Vegan-friendly inks
We use reputable, batch-traceable pigments, with vegan and sensitive-skin options available.
Aftercare on paper
You leave with clear written aftercare and a free touch-up window so it heals exactly right.
What we stand for
Our values
The things we won't compromise on, no matter how busy the books get.

No judgment, no pressure. Your body, your idea, your pace — every time.
Honest pricing
Clear quotes up front, no surprises, and a deposit that always comes off the total.
