At Ethos Art Haus, co-owned by renowned tattoo artist Sherri Austria Portela and culinary visionary Jonathan Michael Portela, we believe in blending food and tattoos in a way that’s meaningful, safe, and approachable for all.

Our dining concepts, starting with the celebrated Tapas and Tattoos, are just the beginning of what we’re offering to Los Angeles. Here, you’ll find carefully curated meals paired with world-class tattoo artistry, creating unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re new to tattoos, a foodie, or both, Ethos Art Haus welcomes everyone—no matter your style, story, or walk of life.

Tapas and Tattoos: Where Art and Flavor Unite
Tapas and Tattoos is more than just a meal; it’s an immersive experience that celebrates the connection between culinary creativity and personal expression through tattoos.

Here’s what makes it special:

A Six-Course Tasting Menu: Featuring standout dishes like ramp chawanmushi with salmon roe, tartlets topped with edible flowers, and gnocchi with blue spirulina, all crafted with care and attention to detail.
Custom Tattoos by World-Class Artists: Collaborate with some of LA’s finest tattoo artists to design a piece that reflects your individuality.
A Welcoming Space for All: Our experience is crafted to make everyone—from first-timers to tattoo enthusiasts—feel comfortable, inspired, and celebrated.
