Sideshow Tattoo

Taylor was the best and worked with me until we got my tattoo down to the perfect look and location. I’m a New York City resident and this was, without question, the most down to earth and professional artist I’ve worked with. If you’re uneasy about getting tattooed, Taylor and his crew will be sure to give you enough of a breather to get through the tattoo without too much pain.
Don’t settle for other artists, walk in and ask for Taylor! You won’t be disappointed. This New York City resident wasn’t!
It’s really true what they say about LA Ink!

Was on vacation in Venice from Georgia! Looked them on Unilocal and seen they had good reviews! Jesus did my tattoo of two seagulls to represent my wife and I. He did a great job and was very nice and made it a very awesome experience! Highly recommend Side Show!

When I got married in 2013, my mother and husband and bridesmaids prevailed on me to remove the hoop earring from my cartilage, as it didn’t quite go with everything else I was wearing. I promptly misplaced the earring and failed to replace it, as it’s weirdly difficult to cram any old stud through that hole. At some point in the last two and a half years, I let the hole close out of sheer laziness. I missed that piercing, though, and wanted to redo it when I got the chance.
That chance came during a walk along the Venice Beach Boardwalk last week, when Sideshow Tattoo presented itself out of the clusters of weed doctors and T-​shirt shops. I walked in and Zulema helped me immediately. I told her what I wanted, and she took me in back and repierced my cartilage, in the exact place it had been pierced before. She was very friendly, professional, and efficient, and the process was sterile and painless. I was nervous that it would hurt, but it was just a quick clean shove of a needle, almost nothing at all. It cost $ 35 before tip, and included the earring – a stud this time. The whole thing took about five minutes, in and out.
I think I’m probably done with piercings at this point (I have six in my ears and am not about to start on the rest of my body at age thirty), but I’d definitely recommend Sideshow if you’re looking to get something done. And if you’re checking Unilocal because you’re walking along the boardwalk with a vague impulse to mutilate your body, well, you certainly have my blessing.

I always get my tattoos done by Pin he does excellent work and all my tattoos come out so good I will not get work by any one but him

Just got my belly pierced here by Zee, she was so sweet. It was my first body piercing she first explained to me what she would be doing, allowed me to pick my ring and it was so quick I didn’t even feel it! She then gave me options on how to care for piercing as well as healing time. If more works needs to be done, I will be coming back to her.

I got my first tattoo done here a couple of months ago. The guy who did my tattoo was really nice and patient with me. He understood I was nervous, and I wanted my first tattoo just right. He also understood in was on a budget, so he worked with me. That tattoo came out exactly what I thought it would look like, and I couldn’t be anymore happy,

Got my anchor tattoo done here and they have the nicest people there! I loved it though i was nervous since it was my first tattoo but it didn’t even hurt at all :) definitely would go back here!

Just got a short sleeve done by my boy Gunner, I absolutely love his work! He did an amazing cover up, and just to let all you readers know, everyone absolutely refused to touch it! But he agreed, and made my whole arm look amazing! I’m proud and happy ASF to sport them! Show my boy some support!

got a portrait done by gunner. hands down the best, very professional. i recommend anyone whos looking to get ink hit up gunner.

My boyfriend and I are from Washington and went all over Hollywood and Venice beach to look up different tattoo parlors, we asked for sketches of our tattoos we had in mind and when PIN drew them out, we instantly loved them.
The staff on duty were all so friendly and welcoming and while PIN was doing our tattoo he made sure we were comfortable and doing okay. It was my first tattoo, so I was really nervous but PIN and (I wished I got her name) a lady that worked there made me feel really calm. The price was very fair for what we had got done.
Definitely a GREAT experience, and I do recommend anyone coming here!!!

Love this place. Got pierced and tattooed here. Super nice staff/​team of artists and clean and professional. Pin did my tattoo and he totally rocked it! Love love love! I highly recommend this place!

My BFF and I went in to get a tattoo and we where both helped and tattooed at the same time on the same day. Zulema and Eric are professional, clean and courteous, We will be back to get more work by them and I will be bringing anyone who wants a tattoo to Sideshow!

Just got some lettering done today by Taylor. He did an awesome job and was super nice. I’ll definately be back again.
