We met with the top tattoo artists in the city to uncover stories of how they got their start and the wonderful, wacky and wild experiences that followed
These LA tattoo artists are masters of their craft—whether or not you're in the market for permanent art, you simply have to know where to look (the best tattoo shops in LA) to tell the amateurs from the Michelangelos.

Get to know 10 LA tattoo pros under their edgy (and decorated) exteriors, from priceless retellings of bizarre requests for tattoos on nether regions to the very first time they held a machine.
