Had the honor of Emily tattooing my 2nd tattoo on my ankle while I was visiting SoCAL. Contacted Emily directly via email first, then she directed me to call into the parlor to make an appointment once I found out she is available during my trip. A deposit was needed at time of booking the appointment/signing forms. I came into the parlor, and Emily showed me the first draft, we made some adjustments then discussed size and placement. I personally love to hear the artist's opinion since they are more familiar and professional on art/body contour. She gave me some good points on size/placement and off we go! I had some friends who came along and she let one of them at a time in to watch the whole process! Since it was a small tattoo, it was finished under 2 hours but I was in awe at the tiny details. She provided a magical transparent bandage which was waterproof and breathable that I can leave on for 3-4 days (and show it off!) so the aftercare was low maintenance, which was perfect because I was worried about wandering around public space during my trip. Had very simple aftercare instructions at that point, mainly stay out of sun/water. It's been about a week now and it's healing beautifully. Thank you Emily!!!! The parlor also has friendly employees and was very clean! Parking was fairly easy to find, plenty in the residential area down the street. Read Less

Very Professional and Clean. Marco was our artist and he did the best Job. The clarity and finish of the tattoo is perfect. Even though it was my first time getting a tattoo done, he made sure i was comfortable through out the process. Also once we got the tattoo, he made sure of giving us the correct instructions as to how we should take care of the tattoo during its healing process, which is a very important step once the tattoo is done. My first tattoo experience was the best, thanks to Marco and "THS" team. I would definitely recommend this shop to my family and friends. Read Less

I met with Emily for a number of pieces that I wanted done. She was very thorough with her questions AND when she realized I wanted a watercolor piece that was bigger, she did not hesitate to refer me to a colleague who specializes in this. When I finally got the first piece done with Emily, she really took the time to make sure it was positioned exactly where I wanted and did an AMAZING job on all of the line work.

Great location, easy parking, INCREDIBLE interior and super easy transaction. Was nervous about getting my first tattoo, but they walked me through it, took my 100 dollar deposit, and when I showed up I was in and out in under an hour! Emily, my artist, was so friendly and kept up the conversation as she tattooed me. Didn't hurt a bit and is healing nicely. She called it even at the end (from my deposit), so all I did was give her a well-deserved tip. Definitely coming back for my next one! Read Less

I had a wonderful experience with Tim LeBron. After following him on Instagram (@bodiesneedrest) for several months and becoming increasingly impressed by his artistry, I finally decided it was time for my next tattoo. He met me in the shop for a free consultation and I shared my ideas and showed him some images I had collected online. He was easy to talk to and upfront in addressing my concerns. I had to put down a cash deposit to schedule the tattoo appointment -- I didn't mind doing it but I wanted to mention this so you know to bring cash with you for this!I got the tattoo a few weeks later. Tim spent the first half hour or so of the appointment sketching out the design and listening to my input to modify it into something I really loved. This didn't take long, and after verifying the size and placement we got started. I had brought a friend with me to chat and keep me occupied and as the two of us sat there babbling away, Tim joined us in conversation. It was really easy to feel comfortable around him and it helped me relax through the pain. The entire process took a little over two hours but the time just flew by. I am beyond thrilled with the finished tattoo. The cost was extremely reasonable for the level of workmanship I received. The tattoo is beautiful, delicate, and just masterfully done. The fine detail is stunning. I get compliments on it all the time and I really enjoy looking at it. It would be a pleasure to work with Tim again. Read Less

Although I already had a couple quotation tattoos, I got my first larger tattoo here in July 2017. I really liked Rus Laich's portfolio and made an appointment with him. We did a consultation first and then the tattoo about five days later. Rus is fantastic and attentive. He promptly emailed me back when I had questions and listened to what I wanted. I would definitely go back to Rus. Others getting tattooed around me also seemed to be enjoying their artists. The vibe is laid back and the décor is amazing. Rus is a premier tattoo artist. Everyone I met was super nice and accommodating. They say hello when you walk in and make you feel welcome. They helped me find parking and called me to remind me of my appointment with Rus. This is a top tier tattoo parlor. Every tattoo that was getting done around me was amazing. This place should definitely be on anyone's list hoping to get a tattoo. On a side note, I appreciate they have female artists here and doesn't have a super macho boy's club vibe. Read Less

"Honorable" describes the atmosphere here in this laid-back establishment fairly well. The staff treats patrons with respect and courtesy, and it's a given that everyone respects one anothers' boundaries and feelings. There are some very talented people creating their art here. That, obviously is the number one issue when you become a living, walking, breathing exhibition of art. Once inked, you are likely to remain inked, so impulse shopping is not really a good idea. For... me (a first-timer) the process began when I walked in and looked through the style books that the artists put together, with examples of their work. I was absolutely knocked out by the watercolor-style creations that Monty is pioneering. This is a very colorful, dreamy art, with lots of filler and minimal line-drawing. It tends to incorporate a very large number of colors, and in addition to that, the colors are blended, and the body's own natural skin tones are incorporated into the palette. Watercolor certainly isn't the only offering. Quite a few artists work there, and their styles run the full gamut. -- traditional to experimental, Asian, Celtic, religious, humerous, silly, sublime... This is not the kind of place where you choose a pattern from a menu. You work together with your artist to come up with a concept, and then, if you proceed with it the way I did, you come back later after the artist will have , created a drawing or drawings, and you take it from there. One thing to be aware of is the Honorable Society accepts cash only, so this can be an issue if you have your work done on weekends or at nighttime. Fortunately I was able to use Paypal when the cost of my art exceeded my maximum daily withdrawal amount. This is not to say the rates are unreasonalbe. In fact, the opposite is true. The cost is reasonable, and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for... Good work, good atmosphere, especially for first-timers. The environment in some "tattoo parlors" can be somewhat hostile and intimidating for those who have never been inked before, but not here. Check it out. Take your friends, take your mom.

Emily is amazing! The shop is clean, friendly and super welcoming. I reached out to Emily on Instagram about a piece of art she had posted and asked if it was still available, it was! Called the shop the next day and made an appointment and paid the 100$ deposit. I was able to get in for an appointment 2 weeks after I called which was great! The shop is cash only but they do have a ATM which is super helpful. I'm beyond happy with my new forearm piece Emily is extremely talented and I'll be going back to her for more tattoos no matter where she is. Read Less

Used this place a couple times as really fond of a particular tattoo artist. I won't name him coz he does great work. But left with such a bad taste in my mouth after my experience tonight. Myself and a friend both came in to get tats, and we asked about the price a few times. We were under the impression we understood the deal and my friend even asked a few times in to make sure we were on the same page with our usual artist. Long story short, we were wrong.... We were both getting 3letter initials, together less than the size of a dime, on the side of a finger. We checked a few times and were under the impression it was $100 for the 2 of us together. We find out at the end, that no, it was $100 EACH. After figuring out we were wrong, the shop and our artist, still decided to charge us $100 each. So the shop and artist, decided to lose a loyal customer who have moved across LA to any shop he's been based at, customers who have always returned, customers who are heavily tattooed and have the next few lined up! If your telling me, you couldn't cut a loss for 10 mins of work and 3 tiny letters, to let a loyal customer, a good tipping customer, not feel robbed, then u seriously need to check ur customer service rule book. 10mins of ur time to tattoo that finger, that's all it was, and 3 tiny letters, u couldn't let that go for a client who checked 3-4 times with you, and made sure to say "$100 for all of them?" We were quoted $150 originally which felt right for the 3 small tattoos we were getting, but it got discounted coz of a birthday. You've burned a serious bridge here! A lot of my friends ask me for recommendations and I'm a very loyal person. I always send em to a good guy. This guy was a good guy. I'll deffo send em to my 2nd fav place now in Santa Monica but I'll deffo tell em to steer clear of this place! And I'm sure some admin will come on now and say "it's written on the disclaimer" or some robotic BS like that. But F that. Ur a human at the end of the day who chose greed over a happy loyal customer. For 10mins of work! Not even a misunderstanding over a 5hr piece haha! Shame coz me and my friend really like the artist, his demeanor and his work. But sold out big time tonight. We may just be one customer in a long list, but bad habits like this will eventually bite u big time. Hahaha love the name of the shop too. Honorable? You honored shit tonight! See More Read Less

My artist was Emily and this is by far the worst tattoo I have gotten in my 13 years of collecting tattoos. This woman dug so deep into my skin that it is now blowing out and scabbing. She kept carving black into my arm all the while saying "I just really love black. It's either black or nothing" which is a tell tale sign of a very inexperienced, poor artist. You can achieve the color intensity you seek without physically scarring someone, a concept this artist does not yet grasp. I do not understand how this woman has her tattoo license. Perhaps this shop has other artists that are talented and understand the fine craft that is the art of tattooing, however, that is not the perception you get if you got work done by Emily. Other than the complete incompetence of this "artist" the shop is very clean, spacious, and is quick to respond to emails. I would recommend the shop itself, but not this particular "artist"Read Less

Emily, my artist, was so friendly and kept up the conversation as she tattooed me. Didn't hurt a bit and is healing nicely. She called it even at the end (from my deposit), so all I did was give her a well-deserved tip. Definitely coming back for my next one! Read Less

I had a wonderful experience with Tim LeBron. After following him on Instagram (@bodiesneedrest) for several months and becoming increasingly impressed by his artistry, I finally decided it was time for my next tattoo. He met me in the shop for a free consultation and I shared my ideas and showed him some images I had collected online. He was easy to talk to and upfront in addressing my concerns. I had to put down a cash deposit to schedule the tattoo appointment -- I didn't mind doing it but I wanted to mention this so you know to bring cash with you for this!I got the tattoo a few weeks later. Tim spent the first half hour or so of the appointment sketching out the design and listening to my input to modify it into something I really loved. This didn't take long, and after verifying the size and placement we got started. I had brought a friend with me to chat and keep me occupied and as the two of us sat there babbling away, Tim joined us in conversation. It was really easy to feel comfortable around him and it helped me relax through the pain. The entire process took a little over two hours but the time just flew by. I am beyond thrilled with the finished tattoo. The cost was extremely reasonable for the level of workmanship I received. The tattoo is beautiful, delicate, and just masterfully done. The fine detail is stunning. I get compliments on it all the time and I really enjoy looking at it. It would be a pleasure to work with Tim again. Read Less

Although I already had a couple quotation tattoos, I got my first larger tattoo here in July 2017. I really liked Rus Laich's portfolio and made an appointment with him. We did a consultation first and then the tattoo about five days later. Rus is fantastic and attentive. He promptly emailed me back when I had questions and listened to what I wanted. I would definitely go back to Rus. Others getting tattooed around me also seemed to be enjoying their artists. The vibe is laid back and the décor is amazing. Rus is a premier tattoo artist. Everyone I met was super nice and accommodating. They say hello when you walk in and make you feel welcome. They helped me find parking and called me to remind me of my appointment with Rus. This is a top tier tattoo parlor. Every tattoo that was getting done around me was amazing. This place should definitely be on anyone's list hoping to get a tattoo. On a side note, I appreciate they have female artists here and doesn't have a super macho boy's club vibe. Read Less

"Honorable" describes the atmosphere here in this laid-back establishment fairly well. The staff treats patrons with respect and courtesy, and it's a given that everyone respects one anothers' boundaries and feelings. There are some very talented people creating their art here. That, obviously is the number one issue when you become a living, walking, breathing exhibition of art. Once inked, you are likely to remain inked, so impulse shopping is not really a good idea. For... me (a first-timer) the process began when I walked in and looked through the style books that the artists put together, with examples of their work. I was absolutely knocked out by the watercolor-style creations that Monty is pioneering. This is a very colorful, dreamy art, with lots of filler and minimal line-drawing. It tends to incorporate a very large number of colors, and in addition to that, the colors are blended, and the body's own natural skin tones are incorporated into the palette. Watercolor certainly isn't the only offering. Quite a few artists work there, and their styles run the full gamut. -- traditional to experimental, Asian, Celtic, religious, humerous, silly, sublime... This is not the kind of place where you choose a pattern from a menu. You work together with your artist to come up with a concept, and then, if you proceed with it the way I did, you come back later after the artist will have , created a drawing or drawings, and you take it from there. One thing to be aware of is the Honorable Society accepts cash only, so this can be an issue if you have your work done on weekends or at nighttime. Fortunately I was able to use Paypal when the cost of my art exceeded my maximum daily withdrawal amount. This is not to say the rates are unreasonalbe. In fact, the opposite is true. The cost is reasonable, and as the saying goes, you get what you pay for... Good work, good atmosphere, especially for first-timers. The environment in some "tattoo parlors" can be somewhat hostile and intimidating for those who have never been inked before, but not here. Check it out. Take your friends, take your mom.

Emily is amazing! The shop is clean, friendly and super welcoming. I reached out to Emily on Instagram about a piece of art she had posted and asked if it was still available, it was! Called the shop the next day and made an appointment and paid the 100$ deposit. I was able to get in for an appointment 2 weeks after I called which was great! The shop is cash only but they do have a ATM which is super helpful. I'm beyond happy with my new forearm piece Emily is extremely talented and I'll be going back to her for more tattoos no matter where she is. Read Less

Used this place a couple times as really fond of a particular tattoo artist. I won't name him coz he does great work. But left with such a bad taste in my mouth after my experience tonight. Myself and a friend both came in to get tats, and we asked about the price a few times. We were under the impression we understood the deal and my friend even asked a few times in to make sure we were on the same page with our usual artist. Long story short, we were wrong.... We were both getting 3letter initials, together less than the size of a dime, on the side of a finger. We checked a few times and were under the impression it was $100 for the 2 of us together. We find out at the end, that no, it was $100 EACH. After figuring out we were wrong, the shop and our artist, still decided to charge us $100 each. So the shop and artist, decided to lose a loyal customer who have moved across LA to any shop he's been based at, customers who have always returned, customers who are heavily tattooed and have the next few lined up! If your telling me, you couldn't cut a loss for 10 mins of work and 3 tiny letters, to let a loyal customer, a good tipping customer, not feel robbed, then u seriously need to check ur customer service rule book. 10mins of ur time to tattoo that finger, that's all it was, and 3 tiny letters, u couldn't let that go for a client who checked 3-4 times with you, and made sure to say "$100 for all of them?" We were quoted $150 originally which felt right for the 3 small tattoos we were getting, but it got discounted coz of a birthday. You've burned a serious bridge here! A lot of my friends ask me for recommendations and I'm a very loyal person. I always send em to a good guy. This guy was a good guy. I'll deffo send em to my 2nd fav place now in Santa Monica but I'll deffo tell em to steer clear of this place! And I'm sure some admin will come on now and say "it's written on the disclaimer" or some robotic BS like that. But F that. Ur a human at the end of the day who chose greed over a happy loyal customer. For 10mins of work! Not even a misunderstanding over a 5hr piece haha! Shame coz me and my friend really like the artist, his demeanor and his work. But sold out big time tonight. We may just be one customer in a long list, but bad habits like this will eventually bite u big time. Hahaha love the name of the shop too. Honorable? You honored shit tonight! See More Read Less

My artist was Emily and this is by far the worst tattoo I have gotten in my 13 years of collecting tattoos. This woman dug so deep into my skin that it is now blowing out and scabbing. She kept carving black into my arm all the while saying "I just really love black. It's either black or nothing" which is a tell tale sign of a very inexperienced, poor artist. You can achieve the color intensity you seek without physically scarring someone, a concept this artist does not yet grasp. I do not understand how this woman has her tattoo license. Perhaps this shop has other artists that are talented and understand the fine craft that is the art of tattooing, however, that is not the perception you get if you got work done by Emily. Other than the complete incompetence of this "artist" the shop is very clean, spacious, and is quick to respond to emails. I would recommend the shop itself, but not this particular "artist"Read Less
