Best Tattoo Shops In San Leandro

“My tattoo artist is Mallory Reynolds, and I will only go to her for my tattoos. She is such a kind and compassionate person, she’s great for newbies and veterans of the tattoo world. I’m severely needle phobic and she has worked really hard with me so I could get my pieces done. She’s done 4 out 5 of my tattoos and she even fixed one of them that I got at another shop. She fairly charges for her art and I’ve never have felt like I was being scammed by her. During the tattoo she checks in repeatedly and never makes you feel bad if you have to take a break. I’m so looking forward to working with her again on my next pieces. 10 out of 10 I truly recommend her.“

“I took my little sis here for her first tattoo and the quality of the tattoo was beautiful. Everyone in there was friendly and very well down to earth. I had been recommended to the shop years ago by multiple people that I know so I decided to drop by and take her. I will be going back here for more work done for myself and other people in my house! The whole facility was chill on the inside and peaceful at that. Also was able to watch them work on her tattoo and document it to send to my older sister who wanted to see it being done thank you to them heavily for this.“

“The homie Quan is a g. I needed something old school and traditional to acknowledge a milestone in my life and Q complied. Excellent and down to earth. Mad nice.“

“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 have 30+ hours of tattoo work on my body from Micah across my upper back, arms, and sternum. I could not have picked a more talented, compassionate, and professional artist to decorate my body. As well as being insanely creatively talented with abstract, color, and unique designs, Micah is an extremely effective communicator so you know what you're going to get and how. They were very affirming with my own body insecurities, but also designed and placed the tattoos in a way that flattered my shape. I get loads of complements on my tattoos everywhere I go and I will always come back to Micah for future body art.“
