IFA2 Tattoo Studio

Felipe is really nice and did a great job on my kids names! Highly recommend:) also very clean and sanitary!

This is a great place to get a tattoo. The shop is very clean and the staff is very friendly. I had beautiful 3D butterflies done by Jason not too long ago and recently I had another beautiful 3D butterfly done my Frank. Outstanding work. I plan a having more work done and this is the only place I will go.

This tattoo shop is by far the best I’ve been too! Awesome staff, me and my friend were attended and tattooed by Frank and Felipe.
They know exactly what to do and how to do it and what works best for you! Frank is awesome on blending colors but specializes in black and white, Asian and realistic tattoos!
Felipe is super dope! He’s in a rock band called the LoneWolf it’s a one man band but that’s a side job. His main speciality is traditional but gets down with anything you throw at him!
As far as the tattoo shop, everything is super clean! And everything being used is new! Ink is vegan!
Definitely coming back when I get the chance (aka when I have money again)

My first tattoo on my back shoulder, I love it so much, thank you Jason, u did it a amazing job, Love u

My sister and boyfriend got our tattoos done here last weekend and everyone is super nice. Frank was very chill and helpful he did mine and my sisters orchid tattoo and they are perfect. He knew exactly what we wanted. Felipe did my boyfriends tattoo and was also very cool. We will defiantly come back. if you are looking for a good price, professionalism and a comfortable shop this is the place for you!

⁵⁄₅ stars for IFA2!
I got my work done from Frank, and he did my work better than I pictured!

If your looking to get a badass tattoo this is the place!!!
These guys are super cool.
Great advice if your a first timer.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else…
Very professional. Awesome work

This shop is awesome everybody is nice! I went here to get my first time tattoo and all I can say is I went out with a big smile, Frank was on the spot!!! The tattoo was so nice and it look real, people from the street are giving me compliment how beutiful my tattoo is. So guys don’t even hesitate. :)

Came in with my sisters to get matching tattoos and let me give you a little background. We are all indecisive people, therefore putting us together to decide on the same took quite a while. We already knew what we were getting but the placement, size and font got very tricky.
Felipe was very very patient with us and gave good advice. We are all happy with our results!!! Thank you Felipe!!!

Dear Unilocaler,
You must check out this place, all staff, Jason, Philipe, Master Mike, Billy, others are very friendly. I have just started to get my round 1, it was an awesome art by Jason, he did a great job, very care, detail and know what he’s doing. By the way, he is painting artist too, imagine that. I gave 2 thumbs up for that. Jason handled and understand what I want perfectly. The Store environment is such a cozy place, it doesn’t feel like you are doing it in the store, feels like home. The work is amazing, he will take care you patiently, we know this is our body, they respect that. Stores are very clean, 2 stores separated by few block. I like them both place. Indefinitely, my body art, IFA is my number 1 choice.

This is my first Unilocal review and it’s just because these guys deserve it.
General:
–clean
–amazing price
–great art
–every artist was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and just great people in general
I came in seeking a walk in tattoo that would cover my whole side (you usually need an appointment for that), I was expecting rejection but Frank was happy to oblige!
The tattooing itself was an amazing expirience, I usually don’t talk and focus on breathing but I actually forgot myself chatting with the incredibly kind Frank and super funny Felipe. What astonished me most was that I had gotten 2 other tattoos before and the one frank did on my ribs hurt less than the others. He was super gentle but the colors turned out really vibrant (he got yellow to show up on my tan skin!). I actually had to go pee literally around 15 times and he was really chill about that and all my other needs. They actually stayed 4 hours past closing for me too. Simply put, I have never experienced this amazing of customer service in my life.
I’m going to drive down 4 hours in the summer to do it here again, I think this might be the only parlor I’ll go to now :0! I recommend this place with all of my heart

I’m not much of a reviewer but I do use Unilocal all the time & this is where I found Danny Mateo! I definitely had to write a review about him & IFA2. The staff was very friendly & the shop small & welcoming. After checking out the different artist (who are all amazing!) I reached out to Danny Mateo for a cover up. From the moment I contacted him he was so helpful! We set up a consultation where he took a look at the present tattoo & we further discussed what I was interested in getting done. I explained the significance of the tattoo & the bad experience I had with the other artist & I was pleasantly surprised at how passionate he was about his work & the experiences he has with his clients. I felt very comfortable & super excited to work with him! The day of my appointment I was nervous about how long the tattoo would take & the pain but Danny assured me I’d be okay. I was prepared for a few hours of work (color roses on my rib cage) but it took a lot longer & was a lot more painful than I anticipated. I was afraid we’d need two sessions. But Danny was so awesome! I took maybe one too many breaks but he was very patient & encouraging. I’m so thankful he was able to work with me & give me such a gorgeous tattoo! I can’t wait to work with him again! Thank you IFA2, thank you Danny!

ONLY PEOPLE I TRUST TO TATTOO MY BODY! After a VERY traumatic experience at another tattoo shop I had to have my tattoo partially removed which made it discolored and mucky. IFA2 not only covered my old tattoo to where it is 110% covered to where nobody can tell it is a cover up, they gave me one of the most beautiful tattoos I have ever seen! I feel like I have a piece of art on me! I have gotten so many compliments and people asking for the artists number to make an appointment there selfs! I am so thankful that they turned another shops horrible mistake into something so beyond beautiful! I will never let any other artist come near my body after coming here I know I will always receive the BEST tattoo and everyone is so nice and friendly in there! Love these guys! Changed my life more than I can express. Thank you IFA2 I can’t tell you enough how thankful I am.

Out in Alhambra visiting from Philly. I started researching places before I made it to Cali and stumbled across IFA2. I’m more into American traditional work and Felipe has a lot of traditional sheets. Totally cool guy, great shop, awesome artwork everywhere.
Well priced, clean, friendly, and professional. If you’re visiting Cali/​LA, you’re going to come across a million shops with a million artists. IFA2 is real artists doing real work. Will be back when I’m over on the west coast again.

Felipe did my Zelda Crest under my arm. Cool guy, literally talked me through the pain. Learned that he likes movies and was a chef. Offered suggestion about tat size and tat location, knowledgeable, patient, and works at his own pace.
Would I go back? Yes! Decent price and good service. I think I would see if Frank would be interested in my next tat, his style is more Asian, more my style.

Thanks to the amazing Unilocal reviews I came to IFA2 to talk to an artist about getting an Aztec warrior princess on my arm.
I was immediately taken care of by Jason.
He was very attentive and helpful. We went back and forth a few times through email, perfecting the Aztec until I absolutely loved it! Jason was extremely patient with me and all of my critiquing and nit picking (down to the eyebrows). I just wanted it to be perfect. He’s new at IFA2 so give him some love everyone, he’s super cool and talented!

I’ve been to many tattoo shops and many artist trying to figure out what my next piece will be. Many were just plain out jerks and refused to even speak to me with or first paying for their time. After a few Unilocal searches I stumbled across this little gem of a shop.
From the minute I walked in I was greeted by Danny M. I asked him for some advice on some ideas I had and surely enough, he gave me feedback and added some of his ideas and here we are in the chair starting some sketches.
I saw his portfolio and was amazed how good he is and yet humble and easy to talk to.
I found my next and from now on, only tattoo artist and studio.
Thank you fellow Unilocalers for pointing me In this direction.
