Art Collector Tattoo

Theres a reason why this place has 5 stars. Me and my mom took a trip to LA for a Glass Animals concert, and thats all we were planning on doing. But on a whim I asked, Want to get matching tattoos? This was my first tattoo and Im happy to say that The Art Collector Tattoo was the first place I got my Tattoo. Our artist, Dima, was super chill and nice. The lady at the front desk was also very sweet. The environment is chill and all the workers are very friendly and welcoming. They have snacks, drinks, and some hygiene products in the restroom which was nice to see. If I lived closer to LA I would continue to go here. Definitely recommend to anyone either living in the LA area, or traveling.

I truly could not have had a better experience here.Urus was amazing the whole way through- from taking my vague idea and turning it into a beautiful design, to making me feel comfortable making adjustments until it was exactly what I wanted, to making the actual session as pain-free and fun as possible.It looks better than I ever could have imagined. I’m already getting so many compliments on it, and it makes me happy every time I look at it. He’s incredibly talented and I will 100% be coming back for my next one.

This was my 3rd tattoo and by far my biggest one. Dimitriy was my artist and turned my idea and arm into a beautiful canvas. He was very patient and acknowledging of how I wanted the tattoo to look like, I can’t recommend Dimitriy enough! If you want to get a bomb tattoo he is your guy

Came to Juli for eyeliner makeup. This review comes about a year later (well overdue 😅 but you can see how it has held up beautifully over time!). I keep getting compliments on them recently and just HAD to leave a review. Juli was amazing and as you can see, the results speak for themselves. Juli did a fabulous job of listening to my desires and made a delicate wing as I requested. Here are some photos of the liner with my lash extensions and one of just the liner with a natural lash line so you can see the quality Julis work. 100% recommend her for eyeliner tattoo!

Most definitely had a great tattoo session here. Place is neat and cozy. The staff, like others are saying, all very friendly. Big kudos to my tattoo artist Urus, who went above and beyond explaining the whole process and making sure I am comfortable with what was gonna go down. I even fell asleep at some point 😃 My new tattoo is everything i imagined it to be and more! I look forward to my next one and I’m already excited! Good job Urus 🙌

First tattoo ever , and I had the best experience. Anzhelika did my tattoo and I’m in love ! She was super sweet, and I loved the vibe in the studio. They have such a good way of making you feel comfortable and I knew I could trust her to do it :))

Definitely would recommend! I got my first tattoos here recently, and Art Collector Tattoo took away any anxiety I felt. They were very communicative both over the phone and in person. They made sure I was comfortable the whole time and was able to take breaks if I needed. They offered complimentary water and snacks which was amazing to have! I’ve already told friends about this place and I’m gonna continue. My artist was Joice and they gave me exactly what I wanted and was very willing to change the design or placement. I went for two very simple tattoos and they came out beautifully. My boyfriend got 2 intricate colorful tattoos and they also came out amazingly (he has a review too if you want to see his photos). Make sure to check out all the artists this shop will have someone for you! Will be back again 100%!!

I’ve had an outstanding experience at Art Collector Tattoo! The studio has a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is incredibly professional everyone is very friendly. A huge shoutout to Erick Urieta, who has done three of my tattoos. His skill and attention to detail are impressive, and he made the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend Art Collector and Erick for anyone looking for top-notch tattoo. Thank you, Erick, for your artistry and making each tattoo special!

Lovely tattoo shop. Amazing vibes and music and even free snacks. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Angel did an amazing job on my tattoo and made my rainbow dreams come true!! Her attention to detail is amazing. I will definitely keep coming back.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the service and professionalism of the tattoo artist Ruslan. This is my best experience in the salon. The tattoo artist made a sketch that suited me. Everything went very quickly and pleasantly. Thanks to Ruslan for his approach to work. I am very pleased!

Cannot recommend this shop enough! From the moment we made an inquiry - excellent customer service from Chace to the diligence and care Urus took to do fine line tattoos for our daughter’s 21st birthday. Shops is clean and calm - talent we witnessed from the artists was exceptional. We will be back for sure!

The studio is very welcoming and organized. I got a beautiful tattoo with the amazing artist and person, Anzhelika, last year that didn’t heal perfectly due to my inability to follow the aftercare instructions (please follow the aftercare instructions!). Came back recently to give it a touch up and Anzhelika was very sweet and understanding about it and did an amazing job. I highly recommend the studio and Anzhelika. If you are considering getting a tattoo there, just go ahead and book it! You won’t regret! ;)

My friend and I came in as walk-ins are were immediately greeted by Erick. He took the time to find the proper sizing for both of our tattoos and spent several minutes ensuring the placement was perfect and centered on our inner forearms. He was very professional and friendly and my friend and I both had a wonderful experience.

Extremely professional, clean, and uplifting environment! I’ve been working with pasha and I’ve found his approach, attention to detail, and skill for his craft to be impeccable. Probably my favorite tattoo environment yet. Definitely don’t be hesitant to give this shop a try!

This place is awesome!!! Good vibes, good music, friendly staff, snacks!!! 😊 I came in with my sis to keep her company while she got her tattoo and as im sitting there waiting I started thinking - maybe I should get one too >.< I asked one of the artists if he had time to do a walk in and he said yes! Erick was SO nice and helpful!! I told him my idea and showed him a few inspiration pictures and he took exactly what I wanted and turned it into the perfect design! He was so kind and considerate and was checking in with me to see if I was doing good while he tattooed me. I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep. He was so gentle that it didn’t hurt at all I was shocked! When I woke up I had a beautiful tattoo that turned out amazing and exactly how I wanted it too!! Thank you Erick!!! I will definitely be back to get more tattoos with him 🖤🙏🏻

I had a great session with Dmitry. I found his work on Instagram and really liked his animal portraits. He drew up a design for me and took into consideration the styles of my other tattoos which I really appreciated. He was pretty light handed that I could’ve fallen asleep at times. I love my new piece. He was able to portray my pets with such incredible details and really captured their likeness. I’ve already gotten numerous compliments on the piece. Thank you again!!!

My experience at Art Collector Tattoo was nothing short of incredible. I had been planning my first tattoo and knew I needed to find the right person to bring my vision to life. I was only in LA for two days, and requested to have my tattoo done the same day before I left. I sent my inquiry in early, and Viktoriia called me to follow up. Ruslan was available in the evening, and I was able to book. I am blind, so my sister came with me to make sure the design was what I wanted as my details were very specific and unique. Ruslan did an incredible job with every detail, and I felt at ease throughout the entire process. Everyone in the shop was so kind, and I could not have asked for a better first tattoo experience or a better artist. Im obsessed!

I came in to get my first big tattoo and Ruslan went above and beyond to make this a great experience. We spoke ahead of time and he made sure to take a few ideas and work with me to find the perfect design. On the day of the tattoo he was on time and very detailed throughout the session. The design turned out perfect. Thank you for the amazing experience Ruslan!

This Place is wonderful. Ive gotten 3 tattoos here done by Ruslan, Paul, and Anzhelika and all 3 were perfectly done. They do a great job of telling you how to take care of the tattoos and all of the artists there are great.

Tattoo shop is super neat and bright. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Anzhelika is so talented! I love her passion for what she does. She’s very gentle and always checking in to make sure I was okay.

My artist Nik (owner) said he would give me “full quality” and he delivered! He is a professional and he is super talented! Part of which I wouldn’t naturally consider a key component to that is that he works fast. That means something to the experienced artist and client, cause if quality comes from artists that can accomplish a piece in 3-4 days that would take another artist only 1-2 days, your budget may want the latter. Thank you Nik, I flew out from Texas for this long awaited tattoo and am very happy with it! God bless!

Highly recommend Art Collector Tattoo! Their artists excel in understanding and creating your vision for the tattoo. They also will follow up to ensure you had a great experience and that your tattoo is healing well. Additionally, they are always available to answer any questions. A+ service

Nik Lucas is a master at his craft and I had the absolute best experience getting tattooed by him. He clearly takes his art and work seriously - carefully paying attention to so much detail both drawing the template & actually tattooing. Good art takes time, and he takes full advantage of this.He also makes you feel comfortable and provides a safe space to address your needs. If something doesnt resonate with you, he wants you to speak up. You can tell he is a man of integrity and I think thats important when getting a tattoo. Youre putting your trust in them and clearly Nik delivered. The shop in general was also wonderful. The staff is incredibly friendly and the space was super clean.The tattoo far exceeded my expectations. I had high standards as it is and Nik just worked his magic and blew me away with his creativity. He provided me with everything I wanted in the piece and knew exactly what colors to use. I couldnt be more happy with how it came out.The prices are expensive, but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. This is art that is on your body for the rest of your life and so paying the extra will go a long way. You are in excellent hands with Nik and anyone else from Art Collector. 20/10 recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Art Collector Tattoo studio, and I couldnt be happier with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed with by the clean and welcoming atmosphere. My artist DMITRIY, whom I had the pleasure working with my last tattoo, was incredible. His attention to detail and artistic skill are truly top-notch.

This post is long overdue. Sitting here watching my daughter get a tattoo from Anzhelika at Art Collector Tattoo and I remember I never posted my review on Google for when she did this tattoo back in Dec/Jan 2023/2024. My bad because she deserves all the compliments I can give her. This was my first big tattoo and I took a long time to find the right artist. So glad I waited to find her because she instantly got what I wanted and did an amazing job on this artwork. As a Star Wars fanatic it was critical Yoda come out right and she nailed him! I still love looking at it and it always gets compliments everywhere I go. In fact another tattoo artist recently saw it and he was really impressed how she used shading instead of outlining everything. Always nice when other artists compliment someone’s work! And what a pleasure working with her. Kind, fun, and far less painful than I expected. If you’re looking for an awesome tattoo artist - she’s the one!

Ive gotten 5 different tattoos in the last couple of months by a huge variety of artists in the shop. From shop locals to visiting artists to apprentices. Each one has been a breeze, even my most difficult on on my neck. The whole Art Collector core team is incredibly lovely, always warm & welcoming. Their communication is so in-depth from the very first inquiry. By the time you show up for your appointment, they have produced beautiful and meaningful designs that are unique to you. they also take critique of their designs seriously & will do everything to make sure your tattoo is exactly, perfectly, what you want!Art Collector is now the *only* place I go for tattoos. the have literally dozens of artists plus their apprentices & visiting artists, theres always someone available to work precisely with the styles Im looking for. Ill be settling into a full back piece soon & I would never go anywhere else for it! the team at Art Collector really fell like family :-)

I saw the shop in my IG feed promoting a guest artist from NYC. I checked out the artwork and wanted to book ASAP. I worked with the guest artist Nina and then was contacted by Art Collector tattoo to book the appt and provide deposit. Im very happy with the communication and professionalism I recieved via email. The options for deposit were also very flexible.When I came in for my appt, I was greeted by both Nik and Viktoriia. I was offered drinks and snacks while I waited for Nina to come in. The place was spacious, comfy, clean, there was music playing. We chatted about my current tattoos and what I was planning on getting. Super personable people!Nina came in, she understood my concept and gave feedback on some updates she made to my piece which was totally understandable. She cared about the longevity of my tattoo. I was given adequate time to make decisions and during the session, we chatted and took plenty of breaks.I was so comfy there, that I probably almost fell asleep plenty of times. Nik checked in with us a bunch to see how we were. We took a lot of photos and vids after we were done. I felt like a celebrity! ✨I have over 20+ tattoos and this shop blew me away with their service and how cool and fun they were. Definitely stop by and get something if youre thinking about it!

Dmitry is amazing at what he does.. its been a long time since, I last got a tattoo. My dog just passed away.. I decided to get my girl tattooed on me. Dmitry has a soft hand... I literally felt no pain. I highly recommend Art Collector Tattoo.. especially Dmitry. Thank you!

I’ve been wanting to retouch a tattoo of mine for a while now and I came across this place on Google. I’m so glad that I did! I went as a walk-in and was greeted by Erick. He did my tattoo as well. He was very friendly and made sure I was satisfied with it. I’ll be scheduling an appointment with him in the future. Thank you, Erick!

My artist was Dmitry and we’ve been through 4 sessions on a leg sleeve so far. He’s super light handed and meticulous with the detail work he provides! If you’re looking for an artist I strongly recommend him but I’ve also seen some incredible art from the other talented artists. CONSIDER YOUR NEXT TATTOO HERE!

Art Collector Tattoo is a phenomenal place and definitely should be your first choice when getting a tattoo!I got my first tattoo, a lotus flower, there a short while ago and it is absolutely beautiful. My tattoo artist was Anzhelika, and she did an outstanding job with listening carefully to what I wanted, and there and then designing my lotus flower exactly as the picture I showed her. She presented me with 3 different sizes of the lotus flower which I was able to place on my arm to determine which I liked best - despite that I was a walk-in. I was very nervous about getting a tattoo but her warmth, patience, and kindness throughout put me at ease, and the experience was so positive and relaxing.Anzhelika is so brilliant at doing fine line tattoos and I have received many compliments on my lotus flower tattoo.I was provided with detailed aftercare instructions and there was no pain or issues at all either during or after the tattoo. All the people at the shop were so lovely and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxing. There was a stand with complimentary water and snacks and comfortable couches to sit on.I highly recommend Anzhelika and Art Collector Tattoo as THE place to get your tattoo done! I know I will be going there for future tattoos, even though I live 2 hours away. A tattoo is a big deal for its permanence and significance, and I thank you for a beautiful tattoo at a very reasonable price. You made my first tattoo experience truly special and memorable ❤️

The studio was clean and had ample parking nearby. Ruslan is a fantastic tattooist - collaborative on the design, speedy, and professional! Very happy with my tattoo!

Ruslan, (Tattoo Artist) inked my first tattoo, and the experience culminated in a spectacular piece that exceeded my expectations. He paid meticulous attention to my design, enhancing it while staying true to its essence. Throughout the process, he prioritized sanitation, cleanliness, and my comfort, ensuring my overall well-being. Ruslan invested his creative genius into what I now consider a true work of art, perfectly embodying the studios name. Despite the session being longer than expected, there was no rush, and the final result surpassed anything I had imagined. Ruslans talent shines brightly—he is truly an exceptional artist!

Anzhelika is such an amazing artist!!! I absolutely loved the design. It was so refreshing to be able to see the design and communicate any changes I wanted. She was willing to work with me and we came up with something I am so proud to have on my skin. She was so friendly and made sure I was comfortable for my 11 hour tattoo. She was so patient with me, even with how much my leg was twitching. Shes so skilled that I referred my sister to her. Shes got great energy, creative ideas, and the skills to execute them very well. The studio is nice and clean! Theres a parking lot which is really convenient. 10/10 would go again to get tattood here and by Anzhelika!Also at the touch up, she even added more orange splash to the tattoo to help match with the other tattoos I have.

I have to say one of the best tattoo location I have been to. Everyone at Art Collectors were very inviting, warm, super nice, knowledgeable, friendly and extremely artistic. Will definitely be recommending them and will be telling everyone that will listen to me about my experience here.The minute you walk in you are greeted with a warm welcome. They are very hospitable. The studio is so clean and inviting.Nik the co-owner was my artist and I absolutely loved working with him on my newest art piece. Communication was very easy. I just gave him my ideas and he ran with it, he is an amazing artist, and made my visit super comfortable and easy peasy.I was able to also speak with Ajia the manager which is super sweet, loved speaking with her. Nik and Art Collector tattoo family you are all amazing. Nik thank you thank you thank you so much I loooooooove my tattoo

Great experience here. Just got work done by Erick and it came out amazing. It was a bit of black work, but he was very precise with his tattooing so he didnt have to keep going over it and chew up my skin. He was very professional and easy to work with. Reasonably priced compared to other quotes i got from other shops and Im super happy with how it came out.Didnt catch her name, but the girl at the front desk was also really friendly and there was an overall welcoming vibe in the shop.Would go back to Erick and this shop again.

Dmitry my artist was very responsive on instagram. I had an appointment within a few days of communicating. He really worked with my work schedule. The day of the appt, the receptionist was very helpful and welcoming. I was really happy with the outcome and service I received, definitely will be back.

I got a tattoo from Anzhelika here. She was amazing. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and offered some great feedback to help make it even better. When I saw the final design it was better than I could have imagined. Anzhelika was also super helpful with any questions I asked and took the time to make sure I understood the healing process. I also want to shout out Ajia at the front desk who was super helpful in setting up the appointments and payments. Everyone here seems like good people. would highly recommend to a friend

First and foremost, I must mention Niks incredible attention to detail. It is clear that he takes great pride in his work and strives for perfection in every aspect of the tattooing process. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Nik was incredibly thorough and meticulous in his approach, ensuring that every line, shade, and detail was executed flawlessly.In addition to his attention to detail, Niks planning skills are top-notch. He took the time to listen to my ideas and preferences, incorporating them into a beautiful and cohesive design that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the two-day process, Nik remained organized and efficient, ensuring that everything was on track and that my tattoo was completed in a timely manner.Finally, I must mention the overall atmosphere of Niks studio. From the moment you walked in, you were greeted with a warm and welcoming environment that immediately put you at ease. Nik and his team were incredibly friendly and professional, making sure that you were comfortable throughout the entire process.Overall, I cannot recommend Nik enough. His attention to detail, meticulous planning, and great atmosphere make for a truly exceptional tattooing experience. If you are in the market for a new tattoo, I highly recommend giving Nik a visit.

Best tattoo shop in LA, Shout out to Erick giving me the best piece I had in mind, made it the impossible, thank you for offering snacks and made it smooth process.

Nik is a great artist and very open to working with you on the design of your piece. He was open to a consultation ahead of our session, his instructions for booking are very clear, and his work garners WOWd reactions from all who see it on my arm. Really looking forward to completing the sleeve I have planned with him!

After 10+ years finally went and got another tattoo that I really wanted. Went to Art collector tattoo shop which is a must go to. The people were nice, place was clean. My artist was Urus Albo which I highly recommend. He was diligent, precise, clean. Really like how he took the time to ensure you liked what you wanted and made your vision come to life. He wasnt heavy handed and definitely shows he cares about his work. Thank you so much!

I recently finished a tattoo here with Nik Lucas, the owner & operator of Art Collector Tattoo. This was such an unbelievable experience and journey to completion.I had done a ton of research as to what and who I wanted to add to an existing tattoo on my arm and ultimately landed on Niks profile via Instagram, which led me to his business.Nik is in high demand, so I had to follow him on socials and then request a session when his books opened up. From there, the process was so professional and thorough that I knew I was in good hands.Nik walked me through every step from design to placement to preparation to aftercare. There were some scheduling issues along the way on my behalf and he was nothing but accommodating and understanding. Upon arriving to the studio, you immediately know that this is a place that values professionalism and comfort. Its clean, well-lit, open-aired, and very comfortable. Knowing Id be spending several hours there wasnt at all a daunting or intimidating experience.And once the process officially began, it was absolutely amazing. Nik is an absolute artist and truly invests himself into every piece that he works on. He wants you to be in control of your design and consults with you at every step, but once hes putting ink to skin, he is completely immersed in the artwork at hand. Small details add up and Nik doesnt miss any. He sees the whole picture and steps back from his work to be sure everything is cohesively fitting to your request and design. There is absolutely a skill to tattooing, but there is also innate talent that some have over others.... Nik has both!At the end, I was so pleased and so rewarded with my tattoo that I couldnt help but think about what I wanted to do next.His services arent cheap, but you get what you pay for. His artwork is forever imprinted on your skin and the price you pay for his unique talent is well worth it.

This was my first tattoo experience and it was incredible. There was plenty of snacks, drinks, and candy available. The space was cozy and inviting and anzhelika did an absolutely amazing job. I am so happy with the results.

Great environment and lovely artists. The studio is very nice, with complimentary snacks and drinks there if you need it, making it very welcoming and comfortable.I had the pleasure to get work done by Dmitry Gubanov. I highly recommend him! He’s very talented, professional, and makes sure your input and voice is valued and heard. He makes the design with you at the start, making it a very personable experience. I absolutely love my piece! The level of detail is insane, his attention to this makes him a great artist. I’m very happy with my experience with Gubanov and the Art Collector studio, can’t express this enough!

I contacted Nik 3 months in advance to book him for a tattoo while I was in LA. He was incredibly kind, responsive, and answered all of my questions beforehand. He asked for photo references ahead of time of my idea, which came very useful later.Day of the tattoo shop was clean, open, and very welcoming. The resident tattoo artists are all very friendly and love what they do. Nik and I spent the first 90 minutes of my session creating the vision of what I had in mind from my reference photos. He was patient while I requested any changes, and gave his honest feedback on any of my ideas.Once on the table he was very easy to talk with and made the tattoo process very simple. He allowed me to take breaks whenever I wanted, and checked in on me throughout the session.I’m incredibly thrilled with my experience here, the time and effort that went in to beautiful artwork Nik produced, and the overall product. Highly recommend to all customers!!

Great experience from beginning to end. Urus did a phenomenal job and showed extraordinary attention to detail — & gave me my favorite tattoo to date :) Will be back.

Brian is very professional and a great artist. He ensured that the tattoo was perfect for his standards as well as mine. The studio is also a great, open space that made the process more enjoyable than previous tattoos I have gotten! I still need one more session for this tattoo and I am definitely looking forward to it

Angel (@wangelart on Instagram) was super sweet and fun to talk to. Made sure I felt comfortable and had a lot of attention to detail~! Im definitely coming back to get another tattoo from her in the near future~!!

Easy appointment process and very friendly. They respond to you very quickly and give you the best artist based on your idea. Pasha grabbed every detail of the design I showed and made it look way better than what it looked like with his shading and expertise. Very happy with how it came out!

My friend and I walked in and were immediately helped out by Erick Urieta. We loved our tattoos and appreciated his artistry and conversation. Would definitely return!

What can I say? This has completely changed my mind on colored tattoos. When I saw Anzhelika Star Wars art, I made my mind up to get one. I was not disappointed! I also have to add that this by far has been the most detailed tattoo Ive had. You can tell she put effort into making it as perfect and accurate. Everyone who works at Art Collector Tattoo is nice, chill, and funny people. Make sure to check them out on Instagram. They make free giveaways and major discounts!

Shop is clean and open. Erick did mine and my daughter’s tattoos and was patient, relaxed and very nice. His lines were immaculate and he worked efficiently and we barely felt the needle. He has a very light touch and sweet demeanor. Highly recommend.

Viktoriia, the General Manager, is super nice and helpful. She helped us arrange appointments and deposits from Australia. Our artist, Ruslan Korotchenko, was organised, on time, friendly and great to work with. The aftercare made the trip back to Aus a breeze. The studio is inviting and clean, with snacks and amenities. All the artists are welcoming. Cant recommend them enough!

Had the pleasure of getting a tattoo by Urus this weekend. Had a great experience, very detailed to his craft, the literal definition of perfectionist. Took his time and explained the process in full detail. Will definitely be back for more.

Had an awesome tattoo session. Ruslan did an amazing job. Will definitely be coming back to get more work done. Will be recommending it to my friends and family.

My tattoo artist is Angel. They were an apprentice when I got my tattoo (March 2024). Super nice and accommodating, I was a bit surprised by the pricing. I had a budget of $700, I shouldve asked what their hourly or custom pricing was (but I had not which was my fault. I was accustomed to previous artists informing me beforehand what the total cost would be, not when I just arrive). I did not think my tattoo would be the whole budget. I was unable to tip them afterwards because I brought just enough, and I felt bad. The tattoo work is still healing. Im stoked to see the end result after the healing period.

Ruslan is an absolute mad dog when it comes to shading, he really knows his stuff. Like his color theory is unbelievable!!! and my Fnaf tats couldn’t have turned out better. Definitely booking again, place was very nice, organized and clean!

Summary: Nik Lucas is a talented artist, professional, and over all a cool dude. He is responsive, timely, clear, and personal in his communications. The design process is collaborative with Nik doing it right beside you, providing feedback and his professional opinion during the tattooing Nik is focused and dedicated to getting the best result. Hes also friendly and good at conversation. Im looking forward to going back and finishing the rest of the sleeve!Im impressed at how vibrant the red came out, the way the tattoo fits the contours of my body, and with how he took my roughshod idea and scattering of reference images and turned it into a piece of art.

I cannot begin to thank @nlucastattoo @artcollectortattoo for literally bringing a three year long sci-fi vision of mine to beautiful life! I walked into the shop confident just knowing I was already in very skilled and talented hands.Nik first sat down with me and pulled up Procreate to help me piece together my vision right before me. He was seriously so patient to helping me figure out it’s finally composition. A few hours of carefully designing it with him and we were ready to go! Being my first tattoo as a blank canvas, I was literally mesmerized watching him work the delicate colors into my skin. I literally could not believe my eyes at how good it looked! Seriously, it’s fine art on my skin now! Wow!!! I’m SOOO glad I chose this shop and these awesome people!If any of you awesome peeps are looking for someone who can do color like a god and wanna make the dope trek to LA, check out Nik and his amaaaaazing shop! Nik is such a good dude and has the best crew who’s got you every step of the way.

The salon is great and cozy. We felt instantly welcomed by the crew and the tattoo artists were super nice! I was tattooed by Martha and she was the best!

Cant say enough good things about Urus, and Art Collector Tattoo! Urus was super patient, friendly, and collaborative with getting my first tattoo. Clean, comfortable studio with friendly artists and patrons. Will definitely be coming back!

Fantastic place, very clean and welcoming vibe. Got my first tattoo (wings on each ankle) from Anzhelika. She was great to work with, made some last minute changes with my input. Very easy-going and fun to talk to, when I wasnt wincing from the needle.Highly recommend this place!!

The tattoo shop was very clean and everyone was super nice and respectful! I loved my artist Angel!!! She was super sweet and nice and I love my new tattoo thank you so much 🙏

Anzhelika was very professional and passionate. Her attention to detail, advice on aftercare, and personality made it a great experience.

Anzhelika was patient, kind, and thorough. The aquarelle/watercolor turned out even better than I hoped! It was a little pricier than I am accustomed to, but if you have the extra $$ they were professional and helpful. I will likely return for more work in the future.

Very clean open modern studio. Free parking in the lot. On the second floor of a strip mall. Snacks available for clients. Considerate of women with tampons in the bathroom. I went in to get a cute dinosaur tattoo from Angel. Found her work on IG

It was an amazing experience. I got my first tattoo from Ruslan and he made the experience very easy and did an incredible job. I’d definetly recommend art collector tattoo to anyone interested in getting work done.

Everyone here was so nice and the space was well lit and clean! I never felt rushed and Erick did a great job! I would definitely come back!

I got tattooed by guest artist Kate and it was a great experience. They are very responsive to messages and friendly.The shop is super clean and new. Everyone is nice and I had a great time during my session.I have a ton more square footage so need to think of what else to add.Check out the art collector tattoo shop you won’t be disappointed.

I got two tattoos with Erick and they look great! He was very communicative about my design and placements. This was my first time at Art Collector Tattoo and it was clean, had a ton of open space, snacks, and a comfortable waiting area. I’ve already recommended the shop to multiple people. I’ll be back! 😌

My wife and I looked everywhere for a studio that would design exactly what we wanted. Pasha was absolutely amazing designing our matching tattoos. He was even more amazing bringing it to fruition. Everyone at the Studio was so awesome. Pasha, as mentioned above, was our artist and he made us feel that he was very thoughtful and patient. We wanted a perfect piece for us and he wanted to make sure it was perfect for us. I would recommend Pasha and Art Collector Tattoo to anyone! I am already talking to him about my next piece. If you want something Perfect, Pasha is the guy to go to!

Urus is THE BEST. I got a very fine line script tattoo on my forearm, and I cant imagine a better artist to have pulled it off. He was so patient and particular in helping me place it exactly right, and then took a lot of time perfecting the actual tattoo. Everyone said he was a master of fine line designs/script and they were right!! Thanks Urus!!

Mannnnnn, what to say other than Jae Park murdered it. Love the piece. That man did his thing! Thanks Jae, let’s gooooo!!! Shops was clean and quiet, definitely felt like it was a busy day with multiple sessions going on. Highly recommend.

I can not say enough good things about Nik. I made an appointment to get a memorial piece done for my two recently passed pets of 20 years. My black cat was horrible at taking pictures, but Nik was able to capture his grumpy glare and was also able to capture the sweetness of my gray cat. He took the time to do a thorough consultation and gave me options for the design. Working together, we were able to come up with something better than I ever imagined.The shop is immaculately clean and they do offer a more private area. Since this tattoo was done on my thigh, he offered the private room. Nik made the process virtually pain free - of course no tattoo is pain free, but I was able to sit comfortably the entire time. He also did frequent check-ins to make sure I was doing alright. I felt completely comfortable and at ease the entire time!Again, I cant say enough good things about him. He takes the time to listen to you and offers honest feedback. He is also crazy talented. If its your first time or 100th time getting a tattoo, see Nik! I fully plan on seeing him again. You will not be disappointed!

Second tattoo done by Urus! I was super excited for this tattoo especially cause I heard it’s pretty painful , but it was not that bad, urus has a light hand and his lines are very detailed. A huge thank you, can’t wait for the third one !

Super helpful and friendly. Accommodated my requests very well and were understanding. Chace answered my every question and Ruslan did a wonderful job on my tattoo.

I’ve wanted an Ahnk behind my ear for years. My daughter found these guys. They did such an amazing job in her tattoo I booked immediately. The experience was top notch! I was booked with Anzhelika. I described what I wanted in my email. She sent me her portfolio and some sample. She nailed it! From the time I walked in the door she was ready for me. We clicked immediately, I swear it felt like I’ve known her for years. Her touch is amazing. The photo is a few hours after my tattoo. Please ignore the new skin. I love love love it! I’m be booking my next tattoo with her in a few weeks. This shop has it right hands down. Professional, talented and very clean. Worth every penny!

Amazing experience! Studio is clean, organized, and my artist Erick was extremely professional and talented. Would highly recommend asking for Erick to get any work done. This is where I will be coming back to get more pieces done

If there were ten stars I would give it. Nik is such an amazing artist and compassionate human. I found him on Instagram originally and set up a consultation. I have burn scars from when I was an infant and have been looking for an artist who could incorporate them in an tattoo. So many artists I contacted did not answer me or when I went for consultations did not want to touch it. Nik was confident that he could do a great piece and also expressed a real interest in helping me. Well yesterday was the day and after 7 hours in the chair - he freehand created a masterpiece that not only is beautiful - but already makes me feel more more confident in my body. I highly recommend this master artist and great person.

Great experience! Everyone was so friendly and so welcoming ! I had the chance to have Anzhelika as my tattoo artist : she’s was really nice and did a great job ! Thank you again everyone ✨

Ruslan did two great tattoos for me todayTweety, Bird, and Peanuts WoodstockDoes amazing work and very personable

I got my first tattoo done with Joice and it was a great experience! It was matching butterflies with my mom. We got exactly what we were envisioning, super clean fine line. Everyone was attentive and patient with us, especially Joice. I would definitely go back.

I had a fantastic experience with Nik Lucas at Art Collector Tattoo. Nik is a mind blowingly talented artist who helped me make some basic references into an insane work of art. Nik created the design on the spot day 1 and I was in the chair before I knew it. My arm took two 6.5 hour days to complete. After a couple days of constant work you get to know each other and you will not be bored while Nik works. He is an interesting dude and a solid conversationalist. I am currently 3 weeks into healing and it looks amazing. The vibrancy of the color is still incredible. I will definitely be returning to the Art Collector when I want my next tattoo.

Everything was done perfectly, the place is clean and spacious, Anzhelika is a very talented, detail oriented, professional and warm person. She fixed minor details even though I didnt notice them. This was my first tattoo and Im going to remember it so nicely and professionally done. She answered all of my questions before and during the tattooing process.

Jaeung Park is great tattoo artist , he is so talented , I love his unique design and how his intricate details in his piece , so 3 dimensional, its like artist want his master pieces to be just perfect , then presented to audiences! Cant say enough about him !

Got one of my first big pieces here with my artist being Ruslan and it came out amazing it was a portrait of my cat and looks identical to the photo we used he got from every detail down and the shading and color is just amazing. Very nice shop has music to relax and restrooms and snacks for whoever comes in for a tattoo

Really love the place and atmosphere! Erick does a really good job and has done all of my tattoos! He really values he’s guestsThank you Erick for my tattoos! Gonna keep coming back for more 🖤

Got a beautiful tattoo. Artist was friendly pleasant and highly talented. Clean environment. Will definitely return.

I had a sleeve done on my left arm by Ruslan and he did some great work. He completed it over 3 sessions and each session was about 4 hours. In my opinion, his artwork was amazing. When I went in for the initial consultation, I explained what I was looking for and he drew something up within 30-45 minutes. Very professional and meticulous when it came to cleanliness and being hygienic.

Highly recommended! Erick Urieta did an amazing job! Didn’t hesitate to answer all my inquiries from scheduling my appointment to after care.

I’m so thankful we found this studio! We were visiting LA and wanted to get matching tattoos before we left. I originally planned to go another shop but when we got there they didn’t have an available artist. We looked in the area and found Art Collector Tattoo Studio who welcomed us with open arms. Everyone was super kind and friendly. Joice was our artist and I really feel the universe made that to be. Her energy, thoughtfulness and patience made for a great experience. I would 100% recommend Joice and Art Collector Tattoo to my friends and family. My tattoo came out perfect.

I got my tattoo with Anzhelika and she was very helpful and professional and the tattoo came out great! Would highly recommend her for any tattoo you’re planning to get.

Im in the process of having a half sleeve extended to a full sleeve, and Urus has been wonderful. Although there was some miscommunication, he has been careful and expertly attentive, taking notes and changes like a champion, and the tattoo has been coming along nicely-- slowly and carefully, to be sure, but very, very nicely. I highly recommend their clean, friendly shop to anyone looking for a new piece of art to love forever.Im thrilled to have my beautiful geometric half sleeve adorning me. To me, my new art is a symbol of numerous things; but perhaps one of my favorite aspects is the story the artist, Urus, carries with him. It is one of resilience and love, and I couldnt imagine a better partner to suffer through a tattoo application with than him.Many thanks, Urus. You are a magician with needles and ink, and Im so happy you are here now. -B

I have nothing but deep appreciation and gratitude for Lina Shuliar (@lina.lcfr). Her artistry is top notch and I couldnt be happier with how well she captured the story I wanted to convey through ink. Expectations were communicated clearly upfront and her pre/post-session care guidelines were super helpful.Big shout out to Vik, Nik, and Anzhelika as well who were so nice and supportive through the entire process. I really enjoyed my experience with the entire team and cant wait to visit again. Much love and respect,

Joice did my little brother and my matching tattoos! The line work is beautiful and we love how they turned out! It was my brothers first tattoo and thankfully joice has a light touch so it didnt hurt my brother which was what he was afraid of. They did a fantastic job!

Nik Lucas was definitely my best tattoo experience so far. I commissioned a half sleeve tattoo with Nik, and it couldn’t have gone any better. Nik is genuinely a nice and open guy willing to work with you in getting your ideal tattoo design. He also did not hesitate to tattoo my scar, and was patient with my shy, awkward self. The experience was also very comfortable and his shop “Art Collector Tattoo” was professional and comfortable. I definitely recommend getting a tattoo by Nik, and at the end of our first session I left with a painting on what was a scared forearm!

Nik was very professional and did a great job on my leg piece! 2 more sessions to go. He’s a true artist and Takes pride in his quality of work. Highly recommend him.

Amazing experience. The artist, Nik Lucas, attention to detail and use of color is incredible. The design process is collaborative, and he was able to capture exactly what I was trying to achieve. The shop is comfortable and has a positive vibe to it. I could not be more happy with the experience and the results. If you are looking to create a beautiful tattoo, I would HIGHLY recommend you contact Nik.

Omg, Urus is such a pro. I cant post a pic from the tattoo because it’s in some interesting spot, but it’s worth it, worth every dollar. Thank you, Urus!

Anzhelika Is the GOAT! I came in for my first tattoo and the whole process was smooth, from the consultation to the execution of the piece. It came out exactly the way I wanted. Plus the whole staff is great and friendly, I felt super relaxed the entire time. I’ll be back for more!

My artist was Dmitry I really liked the touch up. Happy with the results. And really liked talking to Viktoria she really answered all my questions and in the end of the day really cared and showed interest that the tattoo was to my liking.

I was looking forward on getting a tattoo from this shop, had several conversations with one of the managers regarding a few concerns as well as what I was looking for, the artist Pasha backed out on the project the next day which is highly unprofessional, I simply requested a second consultation to avoid any misunderstanding/miscommunication between us, the next day the manager calls me with unfortunate news telling me that he backed out, as much as I wanted to like this shop, I would not recommend them based off my experience with them, getting work done from a tattoo shop let alone from a stranger is a pretty big deal in my opinion, shouldn’t be a problem for them to offer some sort of reassurance if they are confident in their artist, was looking for peace of mind, but clearly this shop doesn’t know how to provide that, in conclusion, I would recommend looking elsewhere!

What can you even say for a tattoo like this? (Click to expand the photo!) Absolutely exceptional work from Pasha, He is among the best blackwork artists in California and great to work with. Great prices, killer attitude and work ethic. We will be finishing the inside portion of the sleeve soon, I will update this post with pictures when it’s all finished. Don’t sleep on this dude!

Amazing experience! The tattoo was very nuanced and Anzhelika worked super hard and finished the tattoo on the same day. Highly recommend getting a tattoo from her, you won’t be disappointed!!

Best tattoo experience yet. I went in with a general idea and anzhelika transformed it into a beautiful piece! Super talented & very sweet girl btw. I love how clean and taken care of the shop was. The owners stopped by as well which I thought was cool. Will definitely be returning! ❤️

Went to Art Collector for the Friday the 13th Flash Sale. I had never been in before. The shop itself is clean and inviting. The staff were organized, friendly, and helpful. Erick was my artist. He was very motivated to get the exact design, size, and placement that I wanted. He did some really quality work that I’m very happy with. I’ve been tattooed in about 4 different shops in LA and Art Collector is 100% one I would come back to.

Great tattoo shop, it is very clean and the artists are really professional. The tattoo artist Dmitry Gubanov did an amazing job. I really recommend getting a tattoo from this place

Nik is like the Albert Einstein of tattooing. When I watched him worked it was like he was on another plane of existence. He has a unique way of looking at the world and can give you something that no other artist can. He can gave me something that I could barely put into words, nevertheless it turned out like my vision and fit me perfectly!This is 2 months after and it has healed beautifully and I am so grateful that I want to recommend Nik to the 🌎🌍Thank you for everything Nik and I hope you reach your personal legend!

Great experience. Erick Urieta did a fantastic job. My only critique would be having more confidence in the process.

I had such an amazing experience with Joice!! This shop was so efficient with booking, it was clean and had great vibes. Joice was attentive to what I wanted and really took the time to communicate and perfect everything. I am absolutely in love with my two new tattoos and they are so well done! I highly recommend this shop🥰 10/10 experience.

Everyone at the shop was super nice. The customer service starting from the first inquiry has been fantastic, they were and still are very responsive to my questions. Nik was my artist and he began working on an arm sleeve and has done an amazing job. The colors are absolutely gorgeous. He was super patient in the designing phase, making sure I got exactly what I wanted. It was amazing watching him work. The tattoo itself is beautiful, I cant stop looking at it. Im super happy with it and cant wait to continue the sleeve.

I had a great experience with Art Collector Tattoo from beginning to end. The staff at this shop was extremely kind and the shop itself was beautiful appearing very clean and well taken care of. The owner of the shop Nik, did my tattoo and took his time to ensure the design was completely what I wanted. It was obvious he cared greatly about every step in the process from designing to the tattoo to completing the tattoo and making sure I was informed about the proper tattoo aftercare. I have been to many studios, but Art Collector has impressed me the most. I highly recommend setting an appointment to get tattooed here big, small, any style tattoo Art Collector Will definitely take care of you!

Paul rocks! came in to cover up a poorly designed tattoo and left with a traditional japanese dragon! awesome awesome! few more sessions to go still but really love it so far. pixs below show progress.

Anzelika KILLED IT on my Van Gogh tattoo. She added so much beautiful artistry and color and really brought it to life. She is so talented and creative. THANK YOU Anzelika!!

Joice was awesome, very attentive and excellent in fine line tattooing. Throughout, I was being asked if I was ok, which I really appreciated. My daughter and I got matching tattoos and they look soooo good, just what we wanted!

Anzhelika made the 12 hour session quite easy to pass ❤️ Fun and easy to work with. Will totally bring friends to get tattoos with her🥳

Nik is an incredible tattoo artist who both listens to you and applies his own amazing artistic talent that creates exactly what you want and beyond. He just opened this shop and I couldn’t give it enough compliments.It’s clean. It’s chill. Nice part of town. Nice music. And the artistic talent along with professionalism is top notch.Nik is my go to tattoo artist and I’m really happy he opened this shop. It won’t disappoint.

I got my tattoo done by Lika and she was amazing! From answering my messages, creating the design and during the day of getting it done… perfect! the tattoo ended up super beautiful, vibrant and special just like how I wanted and more! I’m so glad with it!! Will come back more times for sure! 🥰The space is super clean and everyone seems nice. I recommend it 1000x!

12/22/23- I returned to this shop to get a new tattoo done by Erick! He was very nice and helped me come up with an amazing tattoo! It started as just outlines of two flowers, but with his advice, we added shading to give it dimension! It came out really beautiful! ( Lily and Sunflower done by Erick!)9/24/23- I got a new tattoo with Angel. She was super nice and did great work on my tattoo! I am so happy I came back to this shop! ❤️ (picture is the tattoo Angel did)1/13/23-Absolutely love this shop! They were all really nice and great to talk while getting my tattoo. I went with my sister for their Friday the 13th special. They had lots of cool designs! I will definitely keep this shop in mind for my next piece!

I had a great time getting my first tattoo done with Urus here. He did a wonderful job with the design and helped me choose the best placement for it. I will be coming back to get more done!

Had my 1st session of my half sleeve done by Brian. It is a beautiful piece of art and I have gotten a ton of complements and it isnt even complete yet!The experience at Art Collector was fantastic, it is a great environment to get a tattoo, extremely clean and inviting. All the staff are friendly and professional and having their own parking is a huge bonus!!I would recommend Brian and Art Collector to anyone looking to get some work done and I am excited for my appointment in a couple of weeks to get my tattoo completed!

I had the pleasure of getting a piece from Dmitry (IG: @gubanov_tattoo). This isn’t my first time getting a tattoo so I am pretty particular about my artist and there are small details that I notice, definitely coming back to him! He does micro realism and big pieces as well!He was patient, creative, friendly, detailed, quick, light-handed, and extremely thorough with cleanliness (changed gloves constantly to avoid contamination, cleaned the area/chair/surfaces, and made sure to clean the tattoo several times). You’d be surprised how many artist don’t take this seriously.Would highly recommend this artist as well as the shop. The shop itself was really clean and had proper lighting. The artist there seem pretty realistic about what tattoos they can help you design and do vs just saying yes to any design and doing it poorly.

Had lip blushing done by Juli. She did a great job, very precise. I still have to go back for a touch up in a month. I’ll post pics of the finished lips after that.

Definitely one of the cleaner shops one would wanna go to, along with it feeling very welcoming! they even have a lil section with drinks & snacks. I just so happened to get the CUTEST cat tattoo done by erick !! literally haven’t shut up about recommending his work or the shop to people lol my artist made sure I was content w the design and placementwill be returning back for more sick art in the upcoming months (:

What an amazing place to get tattooed at close to downtown Culver City, super nice and hilarious owner made the experience fantastic. Easy to find, easy parking, candy for when the boo-boos hurt - can’t ask for more! They have not put their collection of Duck paintings up on the wall yet but when they do - it will be a must see!I have been tattooed here twice now, by Lina and by Urus and every time its been an amazing experience! The quality in the work is always outstanding, and the dedication to creating a professional (so important), bright venue for a modern tattoo experience is so on point! They have resident artists for every type of tattoo dream, as well as great guest artists coming and going. Will 100% go back again and again!

I was in LA for a vacation and impulsively decided to get a tattoo. I was able to walk in and get this piece done. My artist (Anzhelika) was very nice and very professional and it seemed that the other artists were just as professional. I could not be happier with the service and the outcome. I recommend this place 100%.

10/10 would recommend!!! Erick was incredibly nice and talked me through the whole process! They have free snacks and drinks available as well!

A great place to get your tattoos, very hospitable and they care about your needs.

I had such a great experience here! Everyone was super friendly, and Joice was super talented! He was so welcoming, and his work was great!! I went here for my first tattoo and will definitely come back. :)

This place is such a find. I’ve been looking for a place to get my tattoo done and I’m so happy I found Art Collector. The space is clean and bright. My tattoo artist, Ruslan, was amazing! He gave his honest opinion on color and placement. Ruslan’s years of experience in tattooing pays off because I was NOT uncomfortable during the process.Thank you, Ruslan! Your work is beautiful.

Excellent customer service and care that fully took me by surprise. From initial consult to scheduling was smooth sailing and convenient. Will be getting more done by Erick in the near future.

I had the pleasure of getting my very first tattoo by Viktoriia at Art Collector Tattoo. Before the appointment, she was super kind and patient with me while I went back and forth trying to decide what I wanted to get. The appointment was about 6 hours total, and she really made me feel at ease by making sure the tattoo design and placement was exactly how I wanted it. The shop was modern looking and clean, and there were free snacks! Overall 5 stars. Go find Viktoriias Instagram page and if you like her style, book her!

Ruslan is a gifted artist! He gave me great advice when deciding on the best way to incorporate a new tattoo to an existing one. I am thrilled with the result and will definitely be adding more under his skillful artistry and direction. Thank you Ruslan and Art Collector Tattoo!!!

Such talented artists here! Got a tattoo done by Angel and she was so precise and quick. Will come back to her for more! (:

Erick is amazing. I have tattoos all over my body and the one Erick did was BY FAR the least painful. I was really excited about this tattoo, and Erick being excited to do it just made everything better. I definitely will be coming back for more!

Angel is very skilled and did a great job; clean and timely work. I love how my tattoo turned out! friendly staff and quality service. 10/10 recommend for your next tattoo!

I got my first tattoo here and I am very impressed by the cleanliness and the job Erick did! Highly recommend!

I recently got my sleeve done by Nik. It is very clear that Nik has a lot of pride in his work, and takes a lot of time to make sure the customer is 100% satisfied with it as well. He is the most creative and talented artist Ive ever met and really made my ideas come to life better than I couldve imaged! He is friendly and fun to talk to, and when your earbuds die during an 8 hour session, he will do his best to distract you with conversation (if thats helpful for you).The shop itself is clean, simple, and modern. If its your first time getting a tattoo, or if you are like me, and dont like typically tattoo shop environments, I found this shop to be incredibly unintimidating, relaxing, and welcoming. Theres even a little complimentary tea and snack bar. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Nik is an exceptional tattoo designer. I had a huge project to cover up old tattoos and I wanted trash polka style. There’s no one I would recommend more.

Dmitry Gubanov was stellar on our Friday the 13th flash day.

I only have great things to say about my experience getting a tattoo here. My artist was Urus. Not only was he attentive, he is also extremely skilled at what he does. I came to him with an inscription tattoo that truly means a lot to me. He gave it great attention and delivered a beautiful piece with clean, precise, fine lines, and detail. I’m overjoyed by how it turned out and will be returning to get another one of his designs with him. Urus is also very calming to be around and has a wonderful energy. Highly recommend him!Outside of that, the studio was spacious and clean. It really adds a lot to the experience. There were complimentary coffee, teas, and light snacks. Everyone there was friendly and helpful. Thank you for having me. I’ll definitely be back and will be bringing my friends for their tatts!

I’m a repeat client of Erick’s and every single time I get a tattoo with him, I always leave extremely grateful that I have found my tattoo artist. Book him!!!

I went to Nikolai for my first tattoo and I could not have made a better decision. I chose him because I loved the way he did color realism and thought that he would do the idea I had in my head justice. I brought in some reference photos and told him what I wanted and he took it and ran with it. He put his creative style into effect and created a tattoo that I love. I consistently get compliments on it by strangers who look at it in awe.During the session he was incredibly nice, accommodating, and gentle. While the tattoo had some painful parts, as expected, I dont think it was nearly as bad as it couldve been if I had gone to someone else.I am very excited for when I can make it over to the west coast for my next one with him.Definitely go to Nikolai. Hes one of the best!

I absolutely recommend Art Collector Tattoo! I contact them with a specific request via email and they were quick to respond with available appointment times, artists and their portfolios and their pricing. I chose Anzhelika as my artist because her portfolio matched the style I wanted and so more than delivered.Overall I am incredibly happy with my experience at ACT and Anzhelika in particular, you won’t be disappointed if you book with her!

Highly recommend!! Got my 3rd tat by Pasha, easy to work with . Amazing tat artist.

Great shop! Very light and clean, these are not like those old dusty tattoo shops with a bunch of junk in the corners - no! this is an ABSOLUTELY modern new shop. The owners are very kind and nice couple, they are attentive to everyone who is in the shop, both customers and artists. The location is good, there are parking spaces, you can safely leave the car and stay in the studio all day.Highly recommend to stop by , for fresh inks and good vibes ;) ✨

Great shop in LA. Very organized and great experience. So happy with how my tattoo turned out. Dmitry is very talented definitely recommend! 👍👍

Nik and the Art Collector Tattoo team were excellent. I had an idea for a tattoo, which I had been thinking about getting for years. This was pretty much my first major one since I only had a really small one on my chest that I had gotten when I was 18/19. Many moons ago. I reached out to Nik through email/website and sent example images and a description of my idea. The response was very quick and Nik really liked the idea. He not only made a quick draft using an image of my arm and some pretty good photoshopping skills, but had no issue jumping on a zoom meeting with me which allowed my to explain the idea in detail and also get a sense of compatibility working with him. This was before I agreed to work with him. It went well and I scheduled my appointment. Their location is very contemporary and clean, with plenty of space. Everyone was friendly at the location. The day of the tattoo we spent a couple hours on the design together, which I really enjoyed and appreciated. The tattoo process itself was comfortable and Nik made sure to stop and get feedback from me throughout. I really love the piece itself. It is pretty much exactly what I had in mind and appreciate that Nik was thoughtful and listened. He also suggested a few things that I incorporated and it ended up making the piece even better. The next day Nik even followed up to make sure I was feeling ok after. Overall, I am very happy with the piece and really enjoyed my experience with Nik. I will certainly be coming back for any other work I want done. Big or small.

I came to Pasha with some ideas that wouldn’t immediately seem akin to his portfolio, but I knew that he could execute based on the quality of his work on instagram. He exceeded expectations and absolutely crushed it, taking all of my ideas to the next level and showing huge commitment to the quality and outcome. If you’re looking for somebody who works fast and produces top tier work for a fair price, you’re going to want to book with Pasha now before his name starts to get out there. The only reason he’s not charging an insane premium is because he’s new to the states, but he certainly isn’t new to tattooing.

I absolutely love Nik and team. He creates such a friendly and welcoming environment. I have visited his shop twice and each time has been a memorable and happy experience, can wait to get more tattoos! Thank you all

I recently got my first ever tattoo here, and it was excellent. The place itself is spacious, clean and inviting, with a minimalist-but-warm feel and open floor plan. I walked in with a very loose/general idea of what I wanted, and the artists/owners helped me refine it without being pushy about what THEY think it should be. They listened to what I wanted and made it better. Then they chose the right artist for the job. The actual tatt application was fast and professional. Mostly, everyone involved -- from the owners to that artists -- seem like cool, down-to-earth people who I genuinely liked hanging out with. Ill continue to go here for future ink, as well as recommend it to my pals.

Simply AMAZING! Nik gave me a beautiful half sleeve. The shop is nice and open. Everyone is friendly. I didn’t feel rushed during the design phase. He did a lot of free hand work that turned out great. Plus not everyone knows how to tattoo color on dark skin but Nik worked great with picking colors that complimented my complexion. I would definitely recommend him. 10/10. He’ll take good care of you and you’ll leave with a marvelous new piece of body art.

This place was awesome. My artist (Anzhelika) was super talented, very efficient, and incredibly friendly. Definitely the place I’ll be getting all of my tattoos in LA from now on.Update: I’ve now had 4 pieces done at Art Collector (done over 6 sessions) and Anzhelika and the studio have never failed to amaze. Highly recommend for anybody looking to have some incredible work done.

Anzhelika was my tattoo artist and it was the best tattoo experience I have thus far.I started by reaching out on the website. Viktoria was very patient and professional getting all the details for my tattoo. She also helped communicate with Anzhelika.On the appointment day, I found the studio very clean and comfortable. Anzhelika explained her designs with me and helped me pick the best location for my tattoo. That eased my anxiety as this is my 1st color tattoo.During the inking, I was amazed by Anzhelika’s use of color. The tattoo was vibrant and in great details. When it’s done, she made sure I was feeling ok. She also took a bunch of great pics for me.Anzhelika and Viktoria followed up separately to make sure I was happy with the tattoo and I understood the aftercare instructions. It healed mostly after a week.

Guys my rose 🌹 tattoo came out to sick, I’m straight up in love with it can’t wait for my other tattoos! Urus did an excellent job more then satisfied 🫡

I just got a beautiful new Van Gogh tattoo from Erick. Erick was incredibly kind, professional and very considerate, always checking in to make sure I was comfortable and asked if I needed to stretch or take a break. He used so many gorgeous colors and wasnt afraid to keep adding detail to the tattoo until he was satisfied. I now have a tattoo that Vincent van Gogh would be proud of. Thank you Erick!

Ive had a great experience with Art Collector Tattoo! My artist was Nik, and I contacted him about doing a leg sleeve. He was very responsive while scheduling via email which made me comfortable moving forward with him.He was very receptive to my tattoo idea (anime trash polka/abstract), and he spent the first couple hours of our first session drawing the design in front of me and getting my input. Hes also been kind both during and after our tattoo sessions. I look forward to going back to finish my sleeve!

Nik was my artist for my sessions and I can say that it may be on the pricier side, it was worth every penny. He really honed down the ideas I had into one cohesive piece and gave me something that i absolutely love.

Went on a trip with my girl and last minute decided to get a tattoo. Called ahead of time and they were able to acomódate us same day! Peter helped us out and he came up with some great ideas for us. Couldn’t be happier with the service! Also check out his art, he’s got some beautiful work! :)

Eric did a great job for my walk-in tattoo. I highly recommend.

Great experience! I’ve gotten 3 pieces from Viktoriia and I always have such a good time with her. She always makes sure the design size and placement fits well with my other tattoos and is so sweet. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely the best tattoo shop I have ever been to. The staff is wonderful. I immediately felt comfortable. They went beyond my expectations on making sure I was comfortable and relaxed. I definitely will be coming back.

Great place to get tattooed. Did not hurt and came out fresh and clean, thank you Erick Urieta.

I had an amazing experience at Art Collector! Ruslan is an incredible artist and I am beyond thrilled with my arm sleeve! Would highly recommend Art Collector for their high quality artists and thoughtful process!

Viktoriia is amazing! Patient, warm, fun, and a skilled artist. 5 tattoos from her so far, and many more to come 😍 The customer service is incredible and the time spent creating and placing my designs with me helped so much for me to be completely satisfied with each of my tattoos.

What an amazing experience! I highly recommend it. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, and the place and equipment were in impeccable condition. They provided clear explanations and answered all our questions. Urus was absolutely the best, showcasing incredible talent. I cant wait for our next visit! 💯

Best place to get a tattoo in LA! My experience was perfect! Viktoria was amazing very talented and so sweet! It was very easy to talk with her! She and her husband were so nice and welcoming! I would 100% recommend this shop!

Incredible experience with Nik. I flew in from Las Vegas to get my first tattoo, and he was fantastic to work with. I was honestly a little nervous about the design process, as I knew what concepts I wanted included, but not necessarily how they connected. Nik eased that immediately. Hes calm and clearly an expert at the digital design software. After we chose a design, he got to work, and 6 hours later I had an exact copy of the digital design on my chest. His shading and color use are especially impressive. Nik is incredible. Highly recommended!

The shop is clean, modern, and beautiful. Nik and Viktoriia were amazing to interact with. The vibe is so calm and relaxing, and the work speaks for itself. We came in excited for the tattoo but left overwhelmed with the quality of the work and feeling like we’d gained new friends. I have NOTHING but exceedingly good things to say about our experience.

Loved my experience here , Erick was super cool and honest with my tattoo idea and gave me a really cool memory and a badass feather tattoo , for sure, a great place for walk-ins. Def recommend!

I had a great experience here! They were able to book my friend and I for tattoos on the same day we called. Peter was our artist, and he was extremely kind and talented.

The shop feels very professional and welcoming. The artists are all kind. My tattoo artist, Erick, worked on my piece and it was just how i pictured it, or even better; he’s an amazing artist.

An amazing place to get any and all tattoos. Very friendly people and they are all very amazing!!

From our first conversation via DM Victoria made me feel comfortable in talking to her. I had a lot of uncertainty about what I wanted but she was so patient with me. When I decided, the process went by smoothly. From my arrival at the shop, she made me feel comfortable and at ease, making sure I was satisfied with the size and details of my hummingbird tattoo. Throughout the actual tattooing process, she’d constantly check in on me. The aftercare was probably one of the simplest and fastest I’ve experienced. Thank you for my perfect, hummingbird!

Great open space. Nik was awesome to detail with. Great communicator, a plus in the tattooing business. Nik does not make the whole process a guessing game, like some other places. Pasha was my tattoo artist. Pasha was right in line with my ideas and understood what was needed to add artwork to my arm, with many other pieces. Pasha is laidback and easygoing. I popped on my headphones and Pasha went to work for six hours! I am very pleased with the work. And parking is easy!

If youre looking into getting a tattoo, you should definitely meet with Nik Lucas. Hes a true artist. When he designs the tattoo, hes very easy to work with and is deferential to what it is you want. But he also adds an artistic point of view and really makes it a unique creation. He made the whole process very easy and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Mother’s Day weekend I got my very first tattoo at Art Collector Tattoo. I could not be more delighted. Owners Nik and Victoriia are lovely and their new shop on Venice Blvd is bright, clean and comfortable. Victoriia reimagined my idea for a small sloth and her ideas were perfect. Her work is outstanding and meticulous. Each fine line is precise. I definitely recommend Art Collector Tattoo!

I worked with Erick to put together my idea for a tattoo. It came out better than I had visioned it ! Will be returning to get more work done in the future !

I flew from San Francisco to get a large tattoo done on the upper arm. The work from Nik was amazing and I am so glad to have worked with him. The colors are so vivids and the line work is sharp and precise. Nik transformed quickly my ideas into a concrete design. These were two long back to back days, but Nik went above and beyond to complete everything before my flight on the second day. I am so impressed! The studio itself is clean and everyone I met was friendly and respectful.

Got my first tattoo here anzhelika took care of me. She is super Profesional very chill and has amazing skills. I will definetly be coming back for all my future tattos here with her.

Truly a pleasure having Anzhelika share here wonderful talent to illustrate a photo my brother had taken of me enjoying my art. She mad it possible to have this moment in time to take with me everywhere I go and share this piece that was created by three talented artists.His Art=>My Art=>Her Art=>Our Art

I had Pasha make me a half sleeve and it came out perfectly. It was my very first tattoo and the experience was exceptional. Would 100% go here to do another one.

I can not say enough good things about Nicolas. First off he spends as much time as you need with him designing your tattoo to make sure its absolutely perfect and most importantly he works with you on this as a partner. Also throughout the whole tattoo process Nic offers engaging conversations, cracks jokes and makes you feel so comfortable I felt like we were friends for years. When it comes to the actual tattoo it was better in every single way possible than how I imagined it would come out. He is easily one of the best when it comes to line works, detail and overall lay out and aesthetic. This was a tattoo I have been waiting years to get and my expectations were blown away. The experience of chatting and joking with Nic and the final tattoo are unmatched.

I’m new to getting tattoos and coming here was the best choice I made. My man Kevin killed my first piece and I had to come back to do a bigger piece on my shin. He killed both tattoos!! Amazing line work and customer service. And a AMAZING PIECE OVER ALL. I will definitely be coming back to my man kev!

Loved my new deer tattoo done by Angel! It came out better than how I imagined it. She made the process super easy. Definitely recommend getting something done by her!

Got a colored tattoo on my inner arm by Irae. She did an awesome job and listened to my requests. Shes a super talented individual as well as the other artists at art collector tattoo. Friendly community and experience.

Viktoriia does fantastic black and white, small to medium pieces. This is my second time getting a tattoo from her, first time at their new studio! The tattoo studio was super easy to find and there is parking lot to park in. Their new space is spacious and extremely clean with an over all relaxing vibe. Nik, the other owner, is also a delight! You can find both Nik (@nlucastattoo) and Viktoriia’s (@Viktoriiatattoo) art portfolio on Instagram. Highly recommend coming to this studio!!!!

Thanks so much for a fantastic experience. World class service and incredible artists is what Art Collector Tattoo provided. Comfortable setting , excellent communication , and a very friendly team made my day long session a pleasure. Most definitely recommend. I will be coming back for my next piece. Thank you !

Great experience with Pasha! Had a shoulder/neck piece I needed finished and he did a great job! The studio is very clean and the team there is very hospitable

I had a BEAUTIFUL piece done by Joice!! Customer service was amazing and Joice was so easy to talk to and did a phenomenal job!! I definitely plan on getting another piece from her in the future!

I recently had my first tattoo with Joice and the artist was really patience with me. The final result was satisfied my need.

Absolute first class experience. I’ve had three sessions with Nicolas and each has left a memorable lasting impression.You can be confident that you’re making the right choice by choosing him for your next tattoo.

Viktoria is AMAZING. Incredible attention to detail. She is easy to get along with, listens to what you really want and gives you the best tattoo you can ask for. Her piece is my favorite on my body. If you need something that is dainty and beautiful, she is your person.

Such a great place, Nik the owner was so kind and helpful finding artists that fit my needs. From all the staff to my artists Kate and Lika this is a skillful and kind shop. You will not be disappointed. Im going to be now coming here for all my tattoo needs as they are 10 mins from me. Seriously 5/5.

I got my tattoo from Anzhelika who did an excellent job taking my concept and making it real! I absolutely adore my tattoo especially the colours. Thank you so much!!

My goal whenever I travel is to find an artist that I feel comfortable with doing something in their style without much input from me. When I came to LA Nik was #1 on my list and I was so lucky to get an appointment last minute. He is unbelievably talented and kind. If he has availability consider yourself lucky and book asap!

Today I went to get a tattoo at this studio with a guest artist and believe me, they are 100% professional people in their work, the service they provide is of another level and there are no problems with your language. If I want to get another tattoo this is definitely where I will go.
