the best tattoo experience in los angeles

I’m Blue Mason, a tattooer since 2007 experienced in all styles. I offer a unique blend of black and grey realism, neo-traditional styles, geometric, minimalistic, fine line, traditional tribal, surrealism and bright color tattoos. Looking for a coverup or tattoo save. I have been doing coverups for over 12 years. I still have not come across a tattoo that I could not fix or coverup. No mater how big messy and dark it is. I have a solution. I create one-of-a-kind tattoos and positive experiences to go with them. Getting a tattoo is an emotional journey. It’s not just about coming up with a concept, crafting a design, and putting it on your body. You want to make sure you get the right artist, who understands your intention and can create something amazing that will last forever. Bring me your ideas and inspirations. We’ll work together to turn them into a tattoo that turns heads, capturing the essence of your inspiration, that you wear with pride for life.

Vegan Tattoo Ink!

Fusion, Eternal and Dynamic inks are all vegan tattoo inks. What Makes Ink Non-Vegan? • Bone Char Made from burnt animal bones; used to make black ink • Shellac Made from beetles; used as a binding agent • Glycerin Made of animal fats; used as a stabilizer to make the ink easier to work with. The great news is that the industry’s top-selling inks are vegan brands. Please note that being vegan does nothing to affect their quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ah, the waiting game continues! You see, your tattoo might look like a vibrant work of art right after it’s done, but healing is a bit like watching paint dry – a tedious process. The surface healing typically takes about two to three weeks. During this time, you get to enjoy that lovely peeling skin and itching that feels like a hundred mosquito bites. Fun, right?
 
But wait, there’s more! The deeper layers of your skin are in for the long haul. It takes a good few months for those layers to fully heal and for your tattoo to reach its peak glory. So, while you’re enduring the itchiness and resisting the urge to scratch like a maniac, just remember – the best things in life (and tattoo healing) take time!

Ah, the human canvas – it’s a fickle thing. While some parts of your body might heal up like a champ, others can be a bit diva-like in their recovery process. The bony, high-maintenance areas like your elbows, knees, and feet tend to be the slowest healers. So, be patient, my friend, and give those temperamental spots some extra TLC.

Well, if you’re a true tattoo aficionado, you know there’s no bad time for some ink, right? But let’s get real; winter might not be the best pick. Imagine trying to flaunt your fresh ink while bundled up like an Eskimo – not exactly the fashion statement you had in mind, is it?

Ah, the eternal struggle of art versus nature! Hair’s a stubborn little thing, and it’ll keep doing its thing through your tattoo. But don’t worry, your tattoo artist won’t be held responsible for any hairy surprises. You’ll just have to work on your new look as a walking, talking art gallery!

Swimming with your fresh tattoo? Sure, if you want your artwork to dissolve into the pool like a modern art experiment gone wrong! Seriously though, give it at least two to three weeks. The pool will still be there, but your tattoo needs some quality alone time.

Imagine mowing a freshly landscaped garden. Not a good idea, huh? Shaving over your new tattoo is a bit like that. Wait at least a few weeks, or you’ll end up with a garden full of regrets!

Time, sunshine, and maybe a little too much scrubbing in the shower – that’s the recipe for fading tattoos. So, if you want your ink to stay vivid, try not to turn into a vampire who avoids sunlight, and be gentle when you’re soaping up your artwork.

Sure, you can donate blood, but you might want to hold off right after getting inked. It’s not because your tattoo is secretly a vampire bite, but it’s better to let it heal properly before becoming a blood donor superhero.

A chef’s secret recipe, perhaps? Well, not quite, but get 100 artists in a room and ask them how to heal a tattoo… You’ll have 100 different options to choose from! These days a lot of artists will have you use a medical grade bandage to protect for a week or so, then if anything some light (and very lightly applied) tattoo aftercare ointment will do the trick. Follow your artist’s instructions, or risk turning your artwork into a hot mess – and not in a good way!

Good news – you don’t have to live the rest of your life in a stinky bubble. You can shower, but be gentle! No aggressive scrubbing, or your new tattoo might turn into a modern art piece, and not the good kind.

It’s not a snake shedding its skin – it’s your tattoo healing. Keep it clean and moisturized and resist the urge to pick at it like you’re saving up for your prized scab collection. Patience is key, grasshopper.

Unless you’re getting a tattoo on your eyelids and can’t keep your eyes open, you’ll probably be just fine. No need to book a post-tattoo vacation. Life goes on, even with a bit of ink under your skin!

Sure, you can, but remember, your artist is the real Picasso here. They might suggest some tweaks to make it work on the unique canvas that is your skin. So, feel free to bring your inspiration, but be open to a little artistic collaboration!

Well, what’s a rainbow without colors, right? Of course, it’s going to cost you a bit extra for that vibrant palette. But hey, who wants a tattoo that looks like it’s been drawn with invisible ink? Live a little – go for the colors!

Instant gratification, huh? Well, your artist isn’t a vending machine. Quality takes time. Expect to wait a week or two to see that masterpiece come to life on paper (or if your artist is busy, it may be weeks or days ahead of your appointment date) – patience, young grasshopper!

Forever and ever, or until you turn into a cyborg. Tattoos are for life, not just for the weekend. So, make sure it’s something you won’t regret when you’re 90 and telling your grandkids about your wild youth.

Tattoos and milkshakes? Sounds like an odd combo. But if you’re still lactating, you might want to hold off on the ink. Your tattoo artist isn’t equipped with a ‘baby-friendly’ sticker.

Don’t expect your artist to spill the secret sauce recipe. They use high-quality tattoo inks, not your grandma’s homemade tomato sauce. Rest assured, it’s all safe and legit.

Most likely, yes. Tattoos age like fine wine – they get better with time but may need a little top-up now and then. Your artist will let you know when it’s time for a tattoo tune-up.

Inner lip tattoos? Sure, if you’re looking for a secret message only your dentist can read. But beware, they fade faster than your New Year’s resolutions.

Well, it’s not a daycare center. If your kids are future ink enthusiasts, maybe introduce them to the art when they’re old enough to appreciate it. In the meantime, leave them with a babysitter – it’s not a playground.

Tipping isn’t just for waiters and waitresses, folks! If your tattoo artist created a masterpiece on your skin, show some appreciation. Tipping is the socially acceptable way to say, “Thanks for making my body a canvas!”
