Kayden Creations is the tattoo shop of Andy Brodsky. I happened to visit this shop almost 10 years ago to get my very first tattoo. Lucky me.

Located in the heart of Hollywood, Andy and his partner in crime, Bok are two of the best artists in the industry.

John MacIntyre, who produced the tropical sleeve for me, and Dianne's peacock sleeve, is one of the best artists out there. He recently relocated to True Tattoo in Hollywood.

John is a fantastic collaborator and artist.

No website available as of right now

Located in the Haight Asbury section of San Francisco, we've had some good experiences here. Marie McCarthy runs the front desk in easily one of the friendliest shops we know. Joey has done some great work on Dianne, and Jennifer has done some cool stuff for me.
