Best Tattoo Shops In Berkeley

“Such a great vibe and everyone was so helpful! Cigdem was awesome and walked out with a perfect tattoo. Will be coming back!“

“had an amazing experience getting my nipples done by Marina yesterday! Will absolutely be returning to get more done by her, the shop was kind and friendly“

“I contacted Janice about adding on to a tattoo by a previous artist. The design she came up with was great and exactly the vibe I asked for! I had never gotten a large tattoo before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but Janice was super accommodating and patient. Her work is great! So great that we are working on another large piece and I totally trust that it will come out amazing.“

“So glad I chose to work with Cameron at War Horse Tattoo. The shop is amazing and Cameron was awesome to work with - he's knowledgable and an incredible artist. When he was working on my tattoo, he was telling me how much fun it was for him. That sense of joy really shone through the entire process.“

“I recently had a tattoo done by Martin. Martin is talented beyond most tattoo artists in this country and I have met a lot. He has been tattooing for over 30 years and has an extremely valuable and in-depth knowledge of traditional Japanese tattoos. He's also very friendly when he is tattooing a client and loves to converse, and he teaches people a lot of great things as opposed to somebody who just sits there, tattooing you in silence. When I was tattooed, he made me feel at home. I told him what I wanted, and he showed me a selection of drawings that he had already done in regards to the subject. He then redrew the drawing adding in a few ideas I had. He is a kind individual who takes sanitary precautions to the limit I am going to continue working with Martin as I pursue my quest of having a Japanese bodysuit I could not recommend Martin more he's clean, sterile and a lot of fun.
I also met kitty during the process, and for those of you who are seeking another very talented artist, I could not recommend her more as well.“

“Very professional clean gives you what you want highly recommend ?????“

“Give my 5*s To J.T.! He is an awesome artist!!! Loved my experience, looking forward to coming back for more!“

“Bro!!!! Was in town on tour with a band randomly decided I wanted to get a tattoo. I started looking around in Berkeley for good tattoo shops. Stumbled across this gem. So I took my time read all the reviews on local places. So I decided to go with this one. Best choice ever! Walked in was greeted instantly by Miguel. Told him I didn’t have a appointment but was only in town for the night and would be stoked if I could get a tattoo from them. He told me he had a couple hours left with his client that he already had in the chair then he could get me in! From the moment I got In That chair till the moment I left every last drop of the experience was exactly what you would want in a tattoo experience! Miguel is so skillful and artistically inclined that it blew my mind. The shop was clean and tidy atmosphere was absolutely amazing. He did and executed exactly what I had asked for and went artistically above and beyond far exceeding my expectation! Anytime I come to Berkeley I’m getting a tattoo with Miguel! Thank you much appreciated!“

“Worked with Ally on a script piece and loved the experience. They were so patient and thoughtful with the stencil development and placement. The whole process was relaxed and enjoyable and I’m so pleased with my new tattoo! I can’t wait to get more work from them in the future. Thank you Ally!!“

“Highly recommend! Aaron handled my request and got us setup with a dual appointment. Vi is a fantastic artist and did a perfect job with both projects.

Cleanliness: Very clean and well kept studio.“
