I was apprenticed by Diamond Dave Rothburg, out of Body and Soul
Tattoo in Sherman Oaks, Ca.

I tattooed at Body and Soul until December of 1999 when I moved to Seattle, WA. I worked at Greenlake and Lynwood tattoo studios until late April of 2000. After Greenlake, I got a two-week guest spot at Top Tattoo in Seattle. I had so much fun and learned so much that I stayed even after the two weeks were up. I left Top Tattoo in December of 2000 and went traveling through parts of Europe including France and England to further my study of the most unique art form of body art - painting in the skin - tattooing. Upon returning to the states, I moved out of Seattle back down to Los Angeles. I started working at Blue Bird tattoo studio out of Pasadena until i got a job at Nathan's studio in good old San Fernando Valley. I tattooed there until I built a big enough clientele to open my first shop in Pasadena CA called SACRED SAINT STUDIO. I owned that studio for about five years. I had the time of my life working with my crew - it was sad to have it end. I learned and grew so much from it .

I work by appointment only - Open seven days a week.
You must call to set up some time to make a consolation or an appointment. I recommend that you set up your appointment's a week or two ahead because my calendar books up fast. *Sometimes a month ahead, but I always keep some days open for my close clients.

Sacred Saint offers the highest quality of standards in cleanliness
and in the tattoo industry. I give a lot of the props to all the guys
and girls at Top Tattoo in Seattle WA. I owe everything I know about
blood-borne pathogens to them, LD and SKY. They showed me the
importance of cross contamination in the tattoo industry.

SACRED SAINT STUDIO -Hidden away in north eastern Los Angeles County, minutes away from the crowded sidewalks and non-stop traffic.

Headed by internationally recognized artist Brandon Notch, the studio is not your usual tattoo parlor. When you first walk in you notice colorfully decorated walls, unique environment, pinstriped coffins and other forms of artwork. It resembles a comfortable neighborhood hangout rather than a Body Art facility. Notch wanted people to feel comfortable while in his shop. Not only is the shop comfortable, it is clean: offering top quality in workmanship and cleanliness in Los Angeles. The work you can expect to see from Brandon Notch ranges from traditional tattoos to vibrantly colored "New School" pieces.


My specialty is custom work, however i do have books
to inspire my clients' minds. Most of my clientele consist of
referrals, and with the shop away from downtown I do not get
walk-ins. A majority of my clients are referred by others or people
who have visited the web page (www.sacredsaint.com or
www.wordofnotch.com). The shop is a very comfortable environment where anyone that comes in can feel comfortable and relaxed. Sacred Saint offers the highest quality of standards in cleanliness and in the art of tattooing.

My major influences have been my family. My dad has been behind me ever since I could pick up a pencil. English Craig has been kind
enough to give me so much useful information and support when I was being apprenticed. Also, Charlie Roberts, for giving me so many
helpful hints and tips along the way.The largest influence to me, is
people ........ they are the ones that make it all happen ,they come
to me with the ideas.I just do my thing.

There would be no pushing ink with out the skin. My influence in art is seeing other artists pushing the limits. It drives my to go bigger, brighter and cleaner in my artwork .(drive right past the ledge ,and start to fly.) I love to see art evolved and progress happening. I think the things I enjoy most about tattooing, besides the fact that I love drawing, is the permanence of the art. (the commitment) I love the feeling of selling my art to people who like it. I also enjoy all the different people I meet. My favorite tattoos are big, bold, colorful, and a little bit rugged in some way. As far as my tattooing career is concerned, it is important to me that I never stop learning. If anyone has any questions relating to the tattoo industry or would just like to make an appointment or consolation you can contact me at Sacred Saint Studio at 323-222-5833 Or you can just email me at sacredsaint_tattoo@hotmail.com to talk about a future tattoo.
