“Sam is such a gentle and kind tattoo artist. She's insanely talented and I'm beyond ecstatic with her work. My new tattoo is gorgeous and I was blown away with how fast she was. I recommend her to anyone looking to get a quality tattoo. The studio itself is beautiful and very clean. I hope to return someday to get more work done!”

“This place is great! The vibe in the space is really chill, and Sam and Howie were great to work with. I came in for a consultation and Sam was actually able to complete my tattoo right then (it was a simple phrase with simple lettering)! She was patient with me while I fine tuned what I wanted, and overall made me feel at ease. I picked this studio because of the pictures I saw on Yelp of Sam's fine detail work, and she didn't disappoint with mine. If and when I'm ready for more tattoos, this is where I'll go!”

“If your thinking about getting a tattoo ask for sam! I had a general idea of what i wanted and she brought it to life. she will sit down with you and make sure every single detail is perfect :) i'm obsessed with my new ink!”

“I had such a wonderful experience at this studio. It has a super dope vibe. Sam is an amazing artist. She is very thoughtful when it comes to her work and she makes sure things are perfect before proceeding with the tattoo. She makes the process very easy. The tattoo she gave me exceeded my expectations. Im in love! It's a cover up and you can't even tell. I highly recommend Sam. She's the best!”

“The studio was clean and had a great chill atmosphere. I got a realistic pet portrait of my bunny from Bojin and had a TRULY incredible experience. Great artist, fair prices, an AMAZING experience overall. I highly recommend Bojin if you are wanting a realistic tattoo of your pet.”

“Pretty amazing place, got my tattoo with Sarah and her art work is impeccable. Super friendly environment and the work area is clean and neat. More than thankful with all my experience!”

“10/10 best tattoo experience ever. Sam did such an incredible job with my tattoo and she made my design so much better I would 100% recommend Mateo Studio, and the shop decor is awesome!!! Thank you Sam!”

“An absolutely beautiful studio with amazingly friendly staff! I got a magnolia tattoo from Sam and it is so stunning! She was so sweet and accommodating to my preferences and made me so comfortable the entire time. She was so quick too!! It was the perfect experience and I would love to come back again soon. I can't stop looking at my tattoo and I can't recommend this studio more!”

“I'm so happy I found Vic and this studio! She was so kind and professional, and really made me feel comfortable regardless how nervous I was. She was very thorough and let me know what she was doing throughout the entire process. I'm definitely coming back here for any other pieces I plan to get done! The entire staff is so kind and welcoming, and the studio is so clean and modern!”

“Absolutely adore this tattoo shop and all its artists. Such a great chill vibe in a DTLA loft and Vic was the best! She took my idea and brought it to life in a way I only dreamed. Her work is detailed and excellent. I can't recommend this shop enough and will definitely be back.”

“I now have 5 tattoos by Sam and I have been blown away by her work every time. By far the most detailed, professional, clean, and comfortable tattoo experiences I've ever had. Her artistry is incredible and she has customized all of my tattoos to be better than I could've imagined. Can't recommend her and Mateo Studio enough!!”

“I recently got a tattoo from Sarah and it came out AMAZING! I gave her a pretty vague description of what I wanted because I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted it to look like but she killed it! It's even better than what I was hoping for!”
