I spent a while looking for my first tattoo artist - I mean, if something was going to be on my body forever, I wanted to find the right fit. I first met Amanda about 5 years ago, wandering into the tattoo world as a complete newbie. From the jump, she has always been clear and open about her pricing and hourly rate. A great conversationalist, she made the time in the chair fly by. She was incredibly patient with me as I pestered her with questions and concerns about how to take care of my new tattoo and kept her line of communication open. For the above reasons, it's also why I recently went back to get another piece of artwork done by her. I cannot recommend Amanda enough in her own studio. It's clean and private with no other distractions. Just the gentle sound of the needle.
When I wanted to get my first big tattoo several years ago, I searched for years until I found Amanda. I absolutely fell in love with her style and her artistry. I had this big idea in my head and she was able to take all my ideas and make it into something truly special. I legitimately cried the first time I saw the design. Then, we spent almost a year together because it was such a large piece and I can honestly say she is a beautiful soul and I couldn’t imagine spending so much time with anyone else. I cannot wear shorts without getting a compliment on my leg, even years later.... After my leg tattoo, I had another tattoo idea in mind and knew it couldn’t be done by anyone else except her. I traveled five hours out of my way just for her since I had moved after my first tattoo was done. And that tattoo is just as beautiful and meaningful as the first. I highly recommend Amanda!!
My tarot reading with Amanda was life-changing to say the least! Throughout the entire process, Amanda held such a sacred space - I felt truly grounded, safe, and connected to my own inner wisdom. The cards that were pulled and the way they were reflected to me were like looking in a mirror. The messages that came through were unbelievably aligned with my own inklings about what lessons I was moving through and where I was going. Amanda is a true wise woman, I feel so deeply grateful to have received her intuitive gifts and I can't wait for our next session!
Amanda created and tattooed two amazing works of art on my left arm completing an upper arm ocean themed sleeve. For the first piece, we met in person and went over placement on the arm, connecting to the tattoo that was there, and discussed my likes and dislikes. About a week before the appointment we Face-timed so she could show me her idea. I fell in love. I am not an artist, and it amazes me that she could take my ideas and create something so beautiful. I made three, 3-hour trips to San Pedro to complete the piece because there was so much detail. Amanda is an amazing artist and a compassionate individual. She ensured I was happy with the placement, and gave me as many breaks as needed for food, water, and potty breaks. After each session, I couldn't wait for the next! I loved the finished product so much, I had to complete the half-sleeve! I scheduled a face-tme chat to talk to her about my final piece and sent her a bunch of ideas. We scheduled three more appointments and I eagerly anticipated the reveal. I was blown away that she could take a few random pictures and create something that was completely hers and mine, This final piece was really fun, because I trusted Amanda completely, and trusted her process. I cannot begin to explain the flow of this final piece, how she brought it all together, visit by visit, conversation by conversation. I get compliments all of the time on my sleeve; and people are always amazed that I made so many long trips for a tattoo when there are so many artists around the corner. It was worth every long car ride to have such a loving, kind soul share her art and self with me. I have other smaller tattoos done by different artists, and I can honestly say that Amanda is the most hygienic, professional, light handed tattoo artist I've been to.
If you're looking for a creative and professional tattoo artist, Amanda is the woman for you! She's tattooed me twice - once in her old space in Culver City and once in her own studio in San Pedro. Both times were stellar experiences for me. The first time (shoulder cap) was my first tattoo and she was very clear about how the process would work - what I could expect before, during, and after the session. At the time, I brought my own design, but while I was there, I was so impressed by her portfolio that I knew I'd have her design my second one for me. The second tattoo (upper thigh) with Amanda was much more significant. I sent her a variety of inspirational images - including some from her existing portfolio - and color palettes and gave her an idea of what I wanted. We had a design session with her showing me ideas and taking my feedback. It was really clear that she was just as excited as I was and really wanted me to be happy. She appreciates that this is a major investment in so many ways for her clients and strives to make it special. I think I spent a total of 16 hours with her in her studio, which is private, clean, and comfortable. It's a a great reflection of her personality as well, very spiritual and calming. She's happy to chat or to just let you listen to music, watch videos, whatever you prefer. She's conscientious about the pain and take breaks whenever you need. If you want your tattoo to be a really special, personal piece of art then you should choose Amanda. I couldn't be happier with our collaborations.
