Site Of Grace Tattoo

My family member has been in communication with tattoo artist Salva Castaneda for several weeks regarding a piece that is very special, containing portraits of special people in his life as well as a few random naked women because of the love for the women body! Salva knew this, recieved pictures, deposit, and had the appointment booked. Do to traveling, because he isn't from LA, everything already had been set up for this day and Salva contacts him with the attached message only a couple days before the appointment, saying he cannot and his Manger won't allow the complete tattoo. This is very unprofessional and stuational, we are all grown and this is business! You decide you will draw demons and devils, per your social media and whatever else you feel is art but you draw lines and hold standards at a naked women, which is the definition of art. You were the artist chosen and knew what it was. It was a waste of money, time, and resources dealing with you and in the future, I hope everyone is getting fair treatment when it comes to what you will and won't tattoo. Copy of message below 👇🏽 Hi, its Salva. Sorry, but I've been on vacation in my country and I've been very disconnected. I've been working on your idea. But I've decided that the mix of family portraits and sexually explicit images isn't a idea for me. Besides, its something I wouldn't be comfortable doing here in the studio where I work; the owner doesn't approve. I suggest only doing the portraits, since that's one of my specialties. But I would completely understand if you don't agree. If you prefer to find another artist who is willing to do it, I completely understand, and I would return your deposit. Apologies for any inconvenience and for such a short notice. Salva's mission statement is 👇🏽 " I love working with each client to create a unique design, something that not only looks beautiful but alos captures a part of their soul and tells their story authentically."

Love the shop. Love the the vibes. Everyone was really nice . Bird did my first tattoo and she was great . Made sure I was comfortable and has a lot of patience! Very happy with how it came out, so sick!

Amazing. Lovely people. What an awesome building with a fun history. Fountains, lots of green plants. Very tranquil. What a great place to get tattooed. Offered a beverage, had some snacks. Love this place, will be back.
