I got a great piece at a reasonable price! – I had a great experience at this shop for two main reasons. Most important is I got great work done. Von Shock did the piece... nice lines if you ask me; very minimal scabbing. I'm very happy with it, as opposed to some other work I've gotten, unfortunately. Second to the quality of work in my eyes is price. Had a couple quotes close to double what I paid here. Seems more and more shops in this area are overcharging in comparison to the quality you get. From personal experience, i... read more

Love This Place!!! – I was so nervous and scared about getting my first tattoo....I was not going to go to just any tattoo shop!!! I knew right away after walking into Zaps, that this is where I wanted to get my tattoo done. The shop itself has such a great vibe and Von Shock was super-nice and super-patient. His shop is comfortable and very clean!!!! I would recommend going to Von if you want a great experience and some super nice ink done!!!!! I love the ladybug tattoo that he did for me, and when I am ready to get another... read more

best tattoos i've seen.... great work... great owner... great service... great price... just GREAT.... – My first introduction to ZAP Tattoo was from my friend. She referred me to get my first tattoo done there and I have been a fan of Von Shock and his work since then. I have gotten 8+ tattoos from him and referred over 20 people. All the people that I have referred have referred their friends and so on and so forth. I would not trade my experience with Von Shock in for the world. The artists at ZAP tattoo do a great job an... read more

Best tatto shop!!!! – I LOVED my experience at Von's shop!! He was very personable, professional and extremely clean. This was my second tatto and he did such a great job giving me exactly what I wanted. He has been in the business for about 30 years and is a great artist as well as a tattoo artist. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone that wants a good tattoo and wants to haev a great experience getting one:-) loved it!

incredible! – my best friend and i just had the most amazing experience getting tattoos at zaps. from the minute we walked in, we knew this was the place (after having visited numerous shops with horrible service, prices, and vibes). von totally rocked it!! he covered up an old tattoo and it looks nothing shy of amazing. i reccommend him to anyone wanting a tattoo.... first timers or ink happy gurus. his creativity is vast and he can make anything happen (unlike the artist yesterday who drew squigglies on my arm like an amat... read more

great artists – I first discovered Zap when I accompanied my friend to get his very first tattoo (i had my first one done at Zulu) and was immediately assured of the shop's high quality work and great prices. The shop's minimum $ is only $50, which is amazing considering the following: (1) It's located on Melrose. (2) Most tattoos shops' minimum prices are ~$60. (3) The saying goes, "good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good." This is not to say that the tattoos are "cheap," rather they are decently priced for ... read more

Great Work! Good Environment! Good Deal! – I first came into Zap Tattoo 5-years ago and got work over my shoulder. 5-years later I figured it was time for more work and came in to get my whole back done and after minor searches for the right pattern we started up on the perfect layout for my next tattoo. I Liked the work that was done so much I recommended him to my step-father and my own mother for work as well as two friends of mine! As long as Von is doing the work I will be coming here.

Hollywood Studio without the Attitude problem – Shock's Zap Tattoo on Melrose gives me hope for Hollywood artists. When arriving, he was much more personable than many other shop owners I've worked with around here. He shook my hand and the hand of my fiance, took a look at my ideas, gave me a price and then took about 45 minutes to draw up the design. For a piece covering 85% of my outer upper left arm, the cost was $300 - full color and custom drawn. Shock exhibited the skill and patience of someone who has been in the bus... read more

Extremely Satisfied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is something you can read and believe... – For my 45th birthday I descided to get a tattoo. A celebrity friend of mine had gone to Zap tattoo and recomended me to do the same. Von(the owner) talked with me about what I wanted and we began to work. I admit I was a little nervous, but Von calmed my fears and got me to relax. His artistry and precision were and are phenominal! He created an incredible head of Medusa. Not an easy feat and highly detailed. Everyone I showed it to were ... read more
