Do you know someone who watches the popular reality show LA Ink as they live vicariously through rock stars and scenesters who get their philosophies etched into their skin? Pop into the actual store where the program is shot and get a gift certificate for your ink-loving pal. Countless ”star tours Hollywood” pass by the shop daily.
The interesting part is that you can visit the shop when it is open, and most of the time they are filming. You are stopped at the front door and have to read a bunch of disclosures that allow them to use your image on the show if they choose to; so check with you agent first, ok? I like to take my clients in for a visit, if for no other reason to get a cool t-shirt.

Beverly Hills is a city in the western part of Los Angeles County, California, United States. Beverly Hills and the neighboring city of West Hollywood are together entirely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles. The area’s “Platinum Triangle” of affluent neighborhoods is formed by Beverly Hills and the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Bel Air and Holmby Hills. The population was 34,980 as of the 2006 census. Beverly Hills is home to many Hollywood celebrities, corporate executives, and numerous other wealthy individuals and families.
Many celebrities can still be seen on the Strip, especially on its western end, and quite a few live in the area, particularly the nearby Hollywood Hills andLaurel Canyon.
Los Angeles is best known as the capital of the U.S. film industry, a place where star sightings are an everyday occurrence and streets are routinely cordoned off to allow for movie directors to maintain a closed set. But people often forget the wealth of outdoor activities that are within easy travel distance from Hollywood. From hiking in the wooded hills to strolling along the pristine, sandy beaches, there’s always a way to stay busy – and to have tons of fun in the process.
