Brian Woo, better known as Dr. Woo, is the go-to tattoo artist for celebrities like Drake, Miley Cyrus, and Zoë Kravitz. Here's what people don't know.

"I grew up in L.A. and got my first tattoo when I was 14. I got my start tattooing when I was offered an apprenticeship with Mark Mahoney."

“Getting my start on the Sunset Strip, I've seen some crazy things — from huge fights in the middle of the street to celebrities coming in and out."

"One time, a girl passed out in the bathroom before her appointment; she must have taken something to calm her nerves, and I had to literally break down the door like a movie when you throw your shoulder into it.”

“My style was influenced by LA and Mark. I’d describe it as super delicate with small details in a smaller space. Not too bold or invasive and gives an option to people who don't want to be totally covered in tattoos; it's more of an accessory.”

“At Shamrock Social Club, it's kind of a rite of passage: Once you go from apprentice to tattoo artist, you have to get a nickname."

“As a first generation American, my parents immigrated here so their kids could be lawyers or doctors, so that was also a running joke — finally my parents have a doctor in the family!”

“Celebrities go through life being hounded constantly, so I just treat them the same as everyone else. Being tattooed is such a personal thing between the artist and the client, and I take it very seriously.”

“A lot of other artists like to use the celebrity hype to promote themselves, but I just like to be about my work. I want people to look at a Dr. Woo tattoo and say, ‘That's dope!’"
