Tattoo Shops near El Cerrito

“I had my tattoo here yesterday and it was such an intense experience, the owner is very honest and straight forward, he will not try to just take your money and give you whatever tattoo you ask for and I’m glad he didn’t.I spent almost an hour talking to him at first I was like wth but then I realized he was right, the tattoo I was trying to get won’t represent who I am. I ended up getting something beautiful that I can’t stop looking at.He was very funny and gave me plenty of life advice. I will return for more tattoos in the future.Service: Tattoos“

“Had a great experience. Super clean. Kuya / Tristan was wonderful as a tattoo artist. Super happy & will be back.“

“Came here as a walk-in with my friend and they welcomed us both in right away! Great flash to choose from, great vibes from everyone in the place, and a really clean, cool looking shop. Billy gave me a great tattoo and I will be back for suuuure. Go here✌️“

“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.“

“I had a great experience working with Sai. She was easy to work with and is super friendly and easy to talk to! Can't wait to come back!“

“I had a great tattoo session with Lo! they have a light hand and were lovely to work with. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.“

“Awesome place, don't know if it could be any awesomer! Been going to this place since it used to be on University closer to campus. Chill vibe and super nice folks. Absolutely love working with Joy Shannon when she comes into town. Service is always top notch. Will definitely be back. A+++“

“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“

“I have gotten tattooed twice at Cloud 95, both times with @tattoo.beebee. The shop itself is really cute, welcoming, and vibey. The space is clean and I really love all of the decor and artwork by the artists there. Parking is a bit tricky but Cloud 95 is worth the visit!“

“Since 2017, I have had the pleasure of getting tattooed from an incredibly talented artist, Andre Malcolm. He not only possesses extraordinary skills but also creates his own ink, which makes him truly unique. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, leaving me with pieces of art that far exceeded my expectations. Andre’s technical prowess is truly awe-inspiring. Every stroke, line, and detail he brought to life on my skin showcased his precision and mastery of the craft. His ability to effortlessly transform ideas and concepts into beautiful, personalized designs is a testament to his talent. Each piece he creates is a unique work of art that tells a story, capturing the essence of my vision with remarkable accuracy. Not to mention, his kind, caring, and jovial demeanor contributed to a relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable experience, making the sessions all the more memorable. So, if you're looking for a remarkable tattoo experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit Andre.“

“I have loved all of the artists at Seventh Son and followed from afar on social media for years! This shop truly has top notch talent. I was able to get a guest spot with a former artist of mine a little over four years ago and was in awe of how big the space was when I walked in. Fast forward to October 2023, when I decided to get a tattoo on a whim for my birthday. I was scrolling through Instagram early morning and saw that the shop reposted Jared's story that he had time on my actual birthday to tattoo. I took a leap and messaged and it ended up working out that our taste in art matched, so we confirmed an appointment to meet and get tattooed that same day. Upon meeting Jared at the shop, I was super excited to get tattooed. He was patient and kind and actually listened to my all over the place ideas. (I didn't really know what I wanted to get. I just knew I wanted to get tattooed.) We decided on the subject matter and I left for 45 minutes so he could draw something up for me. The entire time I was in the shop, I felt welcomed by him and everyone else who was there that day. It seemed like great place to work because everyone was chatting and having a good time and bouncing ideas off of one another. I would definitely recommend Jared as your tattooer (as well as anyone else. Everyone is so capable and great at what they do).“

“The employee's are very nice , very talented and do great art work . "Mahalo Danielle " cant stop looking at my new tattoo.“

“Amy and her team are great. I've had my last 4 pieces done there and each one has been terrific. The energy and atmosphere in the studio are great, and they're modern and dialed in with scheduling and payment. Appreciate that I came across Pretty In Ink a few years ago!!! Thank you Amy!!!“

“Sasha is amazing. Not only is she kind and caring but is a true artist. After having a double mastectomy she was able to create 3D nipples that look surprisingly close to the originals. She has helped me regain some of my confidence in the beauty of my broken body and helped me realize what a gift life really is. I am immensely grateful for her talent and ability to read the situation and talk me through the process. I would highly recommend her!“

“I have all 8 of my tattoos done by Ricky, he's an amazing artist. I have patchwork on my arm and they all healed great. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good artist for patchwork or flash tattoos. His price is very reasonable as well and he is super quick as well. The longest I've sat was probably 15 minutes and I have pretty large pieces along my arm“

“I walked and in out in just over an hour with a rad tattoo and a touch up of an old one. Eric was very professional and he adjusted my tat to fit my needs. I had a great experience and love my new tattoo! Great pricing as well. Tip generously, y’all! :)“

“Had such a wonderful experience at Studio Noir! Got tattooed by Laine who is fantastic: kind, creative, talented, incredibly patient, and great company. Plus I ADORE the tattoo. Photo is two weeks healed. Highly recommend!Services: Female tattoos“

“I got a tattoo from Lahel at Dream Master and I'm going back for another one , she's amazing !“

“Great shop! Lots of amazing flash on the walls. The experience was smooth and very professional from start to finish. From small pieces to large pieces you cant go wrong with any of the artists at FTW.“

“Shawna is amazing! From the time I first made contact with her on-line to in-person she was so professional and cheerful. Once Shawna started she kept me informed throughout the process. Shawna is very personable and clearly is very skilled at her craft. I’m a cancer survivor, so having lost my hair and eyebrows twice after chemo treatments my eyebrows grew back very sparse. She made them look so natural and they look fantastic!! I’m extremely happy and will recommend all of my friends and family! Thank you Shawna for making me feel whole again.-Tina AlvarezServices: Microshading“

“Juni and everyone at the shop were super friendly and helpful! I came here to start a full sleeve with Horimitsu who was visiting at the time and everyone was amazing to deal with especially it being my first ever tattoo!I definitely recommend diamond club tattoo if you're ever in the area. Whether it's your first tattoo or one of many others you'll be guaranteed a great experience with an amazing staff and artists!“

“Everyone is super nice. Gustavo did an awesome job on my husbands boxing gloves tattoo.“

“Got a tribute tattoo this week done by Pavel. It’s my new favorite tattoo I have gotten, everyone at the shop was super down to earth and you felt welcomed which isn’t always the case in tattoo shops. It’s clean and is a nice little shop. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo!“

“I got a tattoo here recently by Stinky(?) Luke. I love the tattoo but what I really loved about it is that I actually felt cozy getting tattooed there. For me personally, a lot of tattoo shops make me anxious or have bad judgy vibes but I did not feel that way at all here. Luke was very kind and professional and does amazing work. I'll for sure be back.“
