Tattoo Shops near Oakley

“I had been wanting to cover up an old tattoo for a while but wasn’t sure where to go, so I reached out to King Cobra Tattoo by email. Shelby responded promptly to my inquiry, answered all of my questions, and made the entire process easy from the very beginning.

I already had my heart set on a lotus flower because I loved the symbolism behind it, but I also let Shelby know that if he thought another design would work better as a cover-up, I was completely open to his professional opinion. He agreed the lotus would be a great choice, and we talked about incorporating color into the design. He was genuinely excited about the project, and he absolutely executed it beautifully.

The appointment itself was relaxed, professional, and took about an hour. Shelby explained everything throughout the process, including the possibility that some of the original tattoo could faintly “ghost” through during healing and that, if it did, he’d happily touch it up at no charge. I really appreciated his honesty and the fact that he stands behind his work.

On top of that, the atmosphere was great. He had an awesome playlist going and even introduced me to a band I’d never heard before—The Teskey Brothers (check them out!)—which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

I couldn’t be happier with the final result. He took a tattoo that no longer represented who I am and transformed it into something beautiful and meaningful. The lotus symbolizes growth, resilience, and new beginnings, making it the perfect choice for this new chapter of my life.

It’s only Day 1, but I already love it. I’ll be sure to update this review with a healed photo in a few weeks.

If you’re looking for an artist who is responsive, professional, listens to your ideas, and truly stands behind his work, I highly recommend Shelby at King Cobra Tattoo. Thank you again for creating a tattoo I’ll be proud to wear for years to come! 🌸“

There was a lot of negative comments about a rude piercer, but I decided to take a chance, and i'm so glad I did Star is amazing and kind and I knew after talking to her I was in the right spot. The shop is very clean and family friendly and I would recommend to anybody. Thank you again, Star my daughter is super happy.“
