Man man man, 10 stars because 5 is not enough. I feel like I’ve just added 2 family members to my family. Shout out to Surrender tattoo shop but BIG shout out to Ben and Nina. They definitely took my vision and executed way above expectation. I’m in love with my tattoo and will for sure be getting more. I would add a picture but don’t want anyone to steal my design. Go get tatted now!!

Surrender is a great shop, first place I will go in LA from now on. Did a large back piece with Nina and could not be happier with the experience. She was very thoughtful in incorporating three existing tattoos I have into a single coherent design, took feedback well, and did not rush the design process. The work took multiple sessions due to the size, but Nina has a gentle touch and we were able to do multiple hours/sessions without pain being an issue! Finished piece looks great! The entire shop has a good vibe - I was there long enough to see that all the artists are very professional and genuinely care about their clients. I don’t usually write reviews, but this one is worth it!

Grateful Beyond Words — The Best Tattoo Experience Ever I had an absolutely incredible experience with my tattoo artist OT and the Surrender Tattoo shop! From the very first conversation, he completely understood my concept and brought it to life better than I could’ve imagined. He did two portrait pieces—one of each of my sisters—and absolutely nailed it. Capturing someone’s family in art isn’t easy, but he recreated them with such precision and emotion that they practically leap off my arm. His portrait skills are truly next-level, and I feel so lucky and blessed to have had him work on my piece. The shop itself was just as amazing—the manager was professional, the pricing was fair and transparent, and the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing. I was even able to complete my piece over two back-to-back days, which made the whole process seamless. I can’t recommend this shop enough for anyone looking for high-quality, detailed work in a safe, welcoming environment. Absolutely five stars all around.
