T Man Tattoo

12216 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, CA 91604

T Man Tattoo is an upscale tattoo parlor located in the heart of downtown Studio City, California, founded by artist Howard Teman on 09/09/09. Howard began his path in Los Angeles as a poster and t-shirt illustrator, working with major touring acts before apprenticing under Lou Bone at Art to the Bone, one of Los Angeles's original tattoo shops, and quickly building a loyal client base of his own. His tattoo work spans richly detailed color pieces, bold black-and-white imagery, and large-scale designs including Buddha portraits, butterfly and 3-D effects, skull back pieces, and lion portraits, all reflecting his stippling and illustrative poster-art background.

The studio has become one of the top-rated tattoo shops in Los Angeles, drawing a diverse clientele that has included notable celebrity clients. Six days a week, Howard can be found at the shop either tattooing clients or working on his latest lithograph, blending his dual careers as tattoo artist and pop-culture illustrator under one roof. Beyond tattooing, the studio's walls carry the same provocative, detail-heavy visual style found in Howard's poster art, giving clients an experience rooted in decades of rock-and-roll-influenced design work. It remains a personal, artist-driven space rather than a large commercial chain, reflecting Howard's hands-on, continuous presence in Studio City.
