The best tattoo studio in LA! The artists have a very creative approach, and the studio itself is beautiful, bright, and welcoming. Everything is extremely clean and sterile. The staff is truly top-notch. I especially want to highlight Paul — he is such a talented and creative artist. I highly recommend this studio to everyone! Bravo! 👏

I worked with Zoe for my first tattoo, and it was such a great experience! She explained everything along the way and made me feel very comfortable. Her creativity made my half baked idea into a beautiful piece of art that I’m obsessed with. I also appreciated how patient she was with me on brainstorming ideas and placement, I felt very confident when it was go time. 10/10 would do again and highly recommend!

Got a tattoo here and it turned out even better than I had hoped! Wendy is really good with full color and bold outlines. If this is a style you like hit her up asap! Kind staff, very welcoming people!

I had a fantastic experience with Lim. I am very happy with what we came up with. I will be back to get more done here, I also really love the vibe and atmosphere.

I recently had my 5th appointment with Drone, and obviously I love the work so much I keep coming back. Firstly, Malaka Tattoo is one of the best tattoo shops I've been to. The atmosphere, the vibe, the cleanliness, and totality of my experiences have been top tier. I've been seeing Drone for body work since 2020, right before COVID, and when I first met him I was very hesitant to proceed because I wanted a new style moving forward with the body art. Upon our first meeting George (Drone) had me sit with him and chat for a couple hours just to get to know me and see what my likes and interests were. Although very unorthodox to me, I now feel like it was the best decision I made. I had gone in with the expectation of getting something similar to "trash polka" but at the end I received something better: Organized Chaos. We spent hours designing and formulating ideas of what I would want. Fast forward 5 years and 3 sessions later, I now have one of the most amazing back pieces I have ever seen. Drone is clean, fast, and an expert at his craft. All you have to do is look at his art, which speaks for itself. Looking forward to adding more to my back piece and hoping to have Drone cover more areas that I have left. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
