Paintshop Tattoo

Since our first show in 2013 we've worked with talented tattoo artists, in recognition of just how connected tattoo and motorcycle culture are, and always have been.

Over many years and many shows, one thing led to another, and in 2020 we set up our own Studio in London, Paintshop Tattoo, and now our Arts District venue is host to Paintshop LA, where we have created a comfortable and creative environment for artists and their customers.

We have a fantastic crew of artists at our LA studio, with a mix of regulars and guests, covering all the bases when it comes to style and technnique, all set in a beautiful and accessible space in the heart of our venue.

Visit us or Email us for a consultation, and we can either pair you up with the most appropriate artist for your tattoo project, or set you up with the artists of your choice.

Call us on our main number 213 465 7661 or walk in during our consultation hours from midday till early evening, every day.

We offer a genuinely welcoming and inclusive experience to people who want a beautiful tattoo, created by artists who appreciate that it's your body, as well as their canvas.

Whether you're a fully-inked aficionado or a first-timer, we'll take you through the whole process with one of our dedicated artists - set within a comfortable hospitality space with great food & drink on-hand.
