Cosmos Tattoo by A.Mai

Los Angeles has 362 tattoo and piercing listings in this directory, and most give you a fast way to reach them. Phone numbers appear on 342 of these listings, and 277 also link out to a website, so you can call ahead or scan portfolio shots before you commit to an artist. Shops cluster in zips like 90046, 90028, and 90042, which helps if you're narrowing by neighborhood in a city this spread out.

Paid placements are labeled Sponsored, and right now none of these LA shops carry that tag, so the order here is just the plain directory, untouched by any promotion. If a phone number bounces or a website link is dead, the shop's owner can claim that listing and update the details directly, which keeps the info useful for the next person searching by zip. Call two or three that catch your eye, check their sites for current flash or piercing menus, and confirm hours before you head over, since small studios often keep irregular schedules.
