Great shop. Can’t say enough good things about Josh Katz. Great artist and very nice dude with a great vibe. Had my second tattoo with him and both were great experiences.
I got my first tattoos at Castro Tattoo this week with Ale Rosa and can't recommend them enough! Everyone in the studio was warm and friendly, and Ale made the experience feel so safe, affirming, collaborative, and easy. Great artist, super clean studio and practices, wonderful vibes. I got fine line designs on my inner arm and ribcage - both are gorgeous and healing so smoothly. I would refer any friend to Ale and Castro Tattoo.
The friendliest and most welcoming staff ever! All the artists really represent the Castro District and San Francisco so well! Truly recommend visiting for a tattoo and new unforgettable experiences here at the Castro!
