Best Tattoo Shops In Arcata

“I recently got a tattoo at True Nature, Eva was my artist. She was great, she was very patient with me and enthusiastic about my tattoo and tattooing me. The shop was clean and cozy, I was very comfortable there. This was a novel experience for me, although it was my 5th tattoo, it had been about 30 years since my most recent tattoo! I will get my next tattoo MUCH sooner, Eva will be my artist and True Nature my shop.“

“My husband and I stopped here on a whim- we have a tradition of getting a tattoo in the area we’re staying in and we happened upon Visual Tattoo. After reading the reviews, we called and it just so happened that Dean had a last minute cancellation and could tattoo us. The shop has a cool eclectic vibe and Dean was awesome! We talked the whole time we were there and he understood exactly what we were wanting and delivered! Our tattoos were a simple phrase in a typewriter font and we are both extremely happy with the outcome! We would both highly recommend Dean for any of your tattoo needs! So happy we stumbled across him- it felt like it was meant to be!“

“Love this place, Damien is the man. He has the experience, with the skill set to match“

“Matthew was great and professional. Really well priced and quick. Small 2x3 tattoo was 120. Pleased with my experience! Thanks guys!“

“Called and we were able to get an appointment for the next day for our 17 year old daughters nose peircing. The shop was open, clean and there are plants everywhere, very fresh feel. I believe our piercer was 'Stabby Abby' if I heard her correctly lol and she was wonderful with our nervous teen! Kept it light hearted and was super quick! Thank you, thank you“
