Jiro is amazing! The shop is awesome, everyone that works there is a premiere artist. I've been going there since 2011, and the work I've gotten is better than any tattoo shop I've seen! They also do handpoke tattoos by Taka, he is amazing as well.
I wouldn't go anywhere else

This place is great. Everyone is really down to earth and chill. Chuy is the man. We just finished my first 6 hour session. I can't wait to start the next session.

Best of the best tattoo shop in town with quality of workmanship and seriousness and passion and knowledge of the art is tattoo by Jiro, Chuy and Masa.Too five Japanese tattoo artist in the USA - Jiro-San take his trade serious so be lucky if you can get a tattoo by him...but the wait is about 6 months to 1 year away so patience is the key.....and well worth it bcuz a tattoo is forever.Keep up the great job Jiro-San and team Onizuka in Gardena and arigato for my work...:)

I got my first tattoo here and I swear I'll never go anywhere else.Jiro made me feel right at home despite me being a tattoo virgin, and he totally exceeded my expectations with his artwork.He took a bland picture of a gold shachihoko statue and turned it into a masterpiece.Worth the wait and the price, the quality of the tattoo is just stunning. I'm so proud I get to wear Jiro's masterpiece for the rest of my life. 本当にありがとう！

I got my first tattoo here by Chuy (on 3/30/17) and it was a great experience. I, first, made an appointment online through email. Marc replied quickly and I was able to get a session in with Chuy just a month later. There were availabilities much sooner, but I was not able to make it due to my work schedule. The shop itself is really cool and clean, and they have a parking lot, which is convenient. They play good music, which made the time go by quicker. Marc, the receptionist was really cool too! Since I was just getting a tattoo of a peony on my thigh, I was able to just come in on my appointment date and get the tattoo done that day. Chuy is a really nice guy and his work is amazing. His style is exactly what I wanted and the tattoo came out amazing. I'm beyond happy. I will definitely be coming back for my next tattoo. I really do recommend this shop and Chuy as your next artist!

Very professional and clean. Jiro is a true artist that takes his time making sure your art work will work perfectly on your body. He has a very light hand and four hours went by really fast! My tattoo came our beautiful and just exactly what I wanted. I would definitely recommend Jiro, it is definite worth the wait. Marc, the office manager is amazing too. He makes you feel comfortable and works hard around the studio.

Knowledgeable, friendly service. Hori Taka knows tradition, his craft, and stays true to his work. His tebori work will look better than any gun work and hurts far less.

Have been getting tattooed here for going on 4 years. Staff and artists professional. The location in Little Tokyo and now South Bay have always been clean and head and shoulders above the usual shops. Appointment only cuts down on the impulsive tattoo clients who are usually strange and annoying. All the artists are first rate. Friendly and accommodating to go with extremely high quality work. I fly from Texas to come here. That should let yo know what kind of quality is offered.
