Custom Tattoos Across Los Angeles
Los Angeles is big, and Downtown sits in the middle of it. Mantle Tattoo is at 705 S Olive St, where the freeways and Metro lines meet, so clients from Koreatown, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Boyle Heights, Hollywood and the Westside can reach us without crossing the whole city. Our artists cover fine line, delicate, script, realism, traditional and neo-traditional work.
