Best Tattoo Shops In Berkeley

“Got this awesome little guy from Ethan at Modern Electric (@castlevancleve) and the whole experience, from initial inquiry through healing, was flawless. Easy communication, impeccably clean studio, attention to comfort during the process, clear instructions for aftercare. After I requested this placement, Ethan was very up front about not having done a tattoo in this spot before, but he was able to consult with other artists for advice. Actually one of the less painful tattoos I’ve gotten, and super easy healing.“

“Magnetic Arts will forever hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I got my first Tattoo ever with the Amazing, talented, passionate artist Arlo. They have artwork that comes to life on the skin in a magical way.The shop is clean and lively as well as being organized and extremely friendly. The artwork dancing on the walls gives a glimpse in to the wide variety of different tastes this world has to offer. Magnetic Arts is truly a one stop shop for different styles. It is a special place to not only make a friend but get an eye catching piece of artwork on your body.“

“A wonderful experience from start to finish. Communicating my design idea and intent, meeting Wryly (the artist) and collaborating on the concept, scheduling and sitting through the appointment - it was all smooth and seamless and left me feeling great about my choice to work with this shop and this incredible artist. Wryly took great care sketching and talking through design decisions and compositions. I couldn’t be happier.“

“Had a great experience here, I was able to walk in with no appointment on a Sunday at noon. Shawn was able to see me right away. Super nice, very light touch and I'm very happy with my new ink! Highly recommend“

“Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! You can tell that the artists are very experienced, and the tattoo came out INCREDIBLE. Shout out to Martin for his wonderful job our tattoo!“

“Not like some other tattoo shops. It's a very welcoming shop, very clean and comfortable vibe. I've had my entire sleeve done by Cameron Miller over the last 10 years and can't speak highly enough on his professionalism and talent. He can come up with just about anything you want him to and execute it beyond your expectations. I get more compliments on my work done by him than any other. Even if you're not local it's worth the drive to have Cam tattoo you. Check out the shops instagram @warhorsetattoo and @cameronmillerart to scope his talent! The other guys at the shop are incredibly talented too and always kind and welcoming, thats something you don't get too often at tattoo shops. Highly recommend this place!“

“Great shop environment. Kody responded quickly and professionally. I was only in town for a day and I was able to snag a walk in appt with Tyler! Tyler totally knocked it out and now I have a beautiful little kingyo on my arm. Wish I could go back!“

“Recently had a tattoo with Morpheus. She was a great artist, we collaborated on the design, and the appointment was quick and very professional. Space was clean and attractive and I would definitely get ink from there and from her again.Service: Tattoos“

“I have no tattoos... My review is about dealing with the staff outside of Industrial Tattoo. These were " Salt Of The Earth " type people. Hard to find solid, good people nowadays. I had the pleasure of helping a few at my job and all the staff is so polite and tips extremely well. The people here are super nice, chill. If I ever do get a tattoo it will be from Industrial. Thanks for being awesome.“

“Awesome work done with a great experience. A true artist when it comes to his work . I got two leg sleeves done with him and was able to just throw the ideas I wanted to him and let him do his thing and each one I was surprised how it came out. Was also able to fit me in a short notice to finish a piece before I left for vacation and worked on his day off. Will no longer get work done anywhere else for future tattoos I will need . I can honestly say he puts his full passion into each tattoo he does and try's to make it diff than others . Appreciate it brotha“

“Got my first tattoo here five years ago. The artist was great and really took his time with details. Overall, it was a great experience!“

“Stylist: Reno designed me a little koi fish that I love! I’m super happy I came here for a tattoo. The studio is very clean and the atmosphere is super welcoming. My friend and I had a great time getting tatted. Will for sure be recommending Cleopatra Ink to my other friends. Good people and good vibes here :)“
