I've been getting tattooed by Billy Boston for many years now and it's always been a great experience. From the professionalism to the friendly atmosphere at the shop, I always look forward to coming back! They make you feel like family! Each and every artist is extremely talented, Pastime tattoo wins best traditional shop of the East Bay hands down!

I've been to many tattoo shops and artists in my time as I have a lot of work on me, I recently got into American traditional and decided to get tattooed by Brandon "Buddha". In my opinion Brandon is one of those classic true to the game tattoo artists who are highly under rated! He has now done at least 7 tattoos on me and I plan to go back for more. The shop is also super chill and all the guys are always welcoming and friendly. When you get tattooed as much as I do, you deal with a lot of shit from artists, Brandon is one of the good ones!

I love this place. I have had several tattoos and most of them are from Pastime Tattoo. I've been to Ben and Billy. I am going to Nate soon and want to get a tattoo from everyone there eventually. The atmosphere is chill, fun and at ease. I highly recommend Pastime Tattoo!
