Tattoo artists: Dave David Paul Rob We use an AUTOCLAVE just like a hospital. We sterilize twice, once so we can handle the items then again after they are individually wrapped. We use more time and pressure than is required(45 minutes/20-25 pounds pressure) at 245 degrees fahrenheit. We are assured instruments are sterile by using the finest equipment and servicing it regularly. We get tattooed here, so we want the best for us, as well as you.
The Garden of Allah was a famous hotel in Hollywood, California, at 8152 Sunset Boulevard between Crescent Heights and Havenhurst, at the east end of the Sunset Strip. It was originally a 2.5 acre estate called Hayvenhurst that was built in 1913 by real estate developer William H. Hay as his private residence. Alla Nazimova acquired the property in 1918 and then, in 1926, converted it into a residential hotel by adding 25 villas around the residence. The hotel opened in January 1927 as the Garden of Alla Hotel (no final "h" on Alla). By 1930, new owners had changed the name to the Garden of Allah Hotel. Over the next two decades, the property went through a succession of owners, the last of whom was Bart Lytton, owner of Lytton Savings & Loan, who demolished the hotel in 1959 and replaced it with his bank's main branch.HistoryHayvenhurstThe estate that later became the Garden of Allah Hotel was built in 1913 by real estate developer William H. Hay in the northwest corner of the Crescent Heights neighborhood, a 160-acre tract bounded by Sunset Blvd. at the north, Santa Monica Blvd. at the south and Crescent Avenue (later changed to Fairfax Avenue) to the east and Sweetzer Ave. to the west, which Hay had subdivided and developed starting in 1905.The estate's original address was 8080 Sunset Blvd., which was later changed to 8152 Sunset. It occupied a 2.5 acre lot that fronted Sunset Blvd. and was bounded by Crescent Heights Blvd. to the east and Hayvenhurst Dr. (now spelled Havenhurst) to the west. The property's southern boundary was also the border between the Hollywood District of the city of Los Angeles and the then-unincorporated area that later became the city of West Hollywood.

Few places on The Strip can boast of a more colorful past. During the Depression this was known as Club Seville, a veritable smorgasbord of illegal gambling and drinking; high stakes addicts like David O. Selznick and Harry Cohn lost their shirts here before the vice squad crashed the party in 1938. It featured a unique glass dance floor laid over a pool filled with live carp, but women objected to having fish eyes peering up their skirts, and everyone was afraid the floor would shatter. Within a year the Seville was out of business. The enterprising Billy Wilkerson took over the building, giving it a lavish makeover and a name that would soon be world famous: Ciro's. Ads announcing this latest addition to the club scene proclaimed, "Everybody that's ANYBODY wll be at Ciro's," and you can bet that everybody in Hollywood WAS there for the Grand Opening on January 30, 1940. A Wilkerson establishment spelled publicity with a capital P, and Ciro's was a virtual fishbowl for Tinseltown's finest during the war years. The club went on to even greater glory after it was acquired by a man named Herman Hover, who began spending megabucks to lure the hottest acts onto its stage. Among those who performed here were Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Marlene Dietrich, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Martin and Lewis, Edith Piaf, and Mae West with her musclemen. Some of the acts were TOO hot: stripper Lili St. Cyr's routine nearly caused a riot and was shut down for lewdness. Such incidents were par for the course at Ciro's; there was something about the place that just made people want to misbehave. One salacious story had a loaded Paulette Goddard crawling under a table to express her affection for director Anatole Litvak; then there was the time that Darryl Zanuck threw a party at Ciro's with a circus theme. After one belt too many, the aging Fox mogul stripped down to the waist and attempted to chin himself from a trapeze that was part of the stage show. Fights broke out here so often that Hover facetiously considered replacing the dance floor with a boxing ring, and he finally had to impose a three-brawl-per-customer limit. Violators were permanently "eighty-sixed." On a loftier note, this was where Sammy Davis, Jr. staged his comeback after his near-fatal 1954 auto accident. Producer George Schlatter described the scene: "After Sammy came back from his eye injury, the whole town came out to see his first gig. Cooper was there. Gable and Bogart were there. Frank and Dean were playing cards at the stageside." Confounding rumors that his career was finished, Davis danced and sang for two hours before grabbing -- and playing -- every instrument in the band for an encore. The star-studded audience gave him a half-hour standing ovation. Ciro's closed in 1957, but a semblance of glamor lives on in the building's present incarnation, The Comedy Store. Located here since 1970, this renowned comedy club showcses established comedians as well as unknowns waiting to be discovered; Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, David Letterman, Jim Carey, Sam Kinison, and Roseanne all performed here before hitting the big time. The Comedy Store has three separate rooms with varying cover charges; drop in for a few laughs in one of the area's most historic settings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ciro's opened at the end of January, 1940, and, as was the case with his other enterprise, it was an instant hit. The stars, abandoning the recent trend of staying home, flocked to Hollywood"s newest-in-spot. What greeted them was a sophisticated exterior facade by George Vernon Russell and inside a Baroque confection by interior designer Tom Douglas. Under the supervision of Wilkerson, Mr. Douglas created the latest in Hollywood glamour, with walls draped in heavy, ribbed silk, dyed pale reseda green, and a ceiling painted American Beauty red. The stars sank themselves into wall sofas also of silk, dyed to match the ceiling. Bronze and urns served as lighting fixtures that flanked the bandstand. Everywhere, the endless attention of Wilkerson business was evident. Ads preceding the opening were a daily occurrence in the Hollywood Reporter, wherein readers were reminded that: "Everybody that's anybody, will be at Ciro's." And pretty much everybody in Hollywood turned up for the two openings on subsequent nights. Emil Coleman's orchestra initiated the bandstand, and it was reported that as a tip a bartender received five shares of Grand National stock. For weeks after the opening, the only place to be was Ciro's. Post premiere parties, benefits and birthday parties were all celebrated there. Certainly one of the oddest occasions in its early days was a fashion show by a local furrier who paraded models in his expensive pelts accompanied by a live animal with the same fur she wore. Beavers, leopards and minks go a firsthand view of Hollywood nightlife in the hallowed halls of Ciro's.
Hollywood Masonic Temple, now known as the El Capitan Entertainment Centre, is a building on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The building, built in 1921, was designed by architect John C. Austin, also noted as the lead architect of the Griffith Observatory. The Masons operated the temple until 1982, when they sold the building after several years of declining membership. The 34,000-square-foot building was then converted into a theater and nightclub, and ownership subsequently changed several times, until it was bought by the Walt Disney Company's Buena Vista Pictures Distribution in 1998 for Buena Vista Theatres, Inc.Buena Vista Theatres uses it as a promotion tool by creating themed environments to go along with movie premieres. The center is also rented out for industry parties, premieres, record releases and product roll-outs. Since 2003, the building's theater has been the home of Jimmy Kimmel Live!.The building is rumored to have had a secret tunnel to Grauman's Chinese Theater that would allow movie stars to evade mobs at movie premieres. If it existed it is possible that the Red Line subway construction destroyed the tunnel.HistoryThe Masonic TempleIn 1922, the Hollywood Lodge of the Masons relocated from their existing lodge on the current site of the Dolby Theatre. The construction of the new three-story building was led by lodge master Charles E. Toberman, who was responsible for the Hollywood Bowl, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Roosevelt Hotel and the Max Factor Building. The original building cost $176,678, with a sum of $56,421 allotted to furniture and fixtures and $36,295 for the purchase of the lot. Toberman and fellow member Charles Boag formed a Hollywood Masonic Club to partly finance the building offering membership subscriptions for $100.
