Tattoo Shops near West Sacramento

“Emma did such a wonderful job with a piece I’ve wanted for a long time. She sent me the sketch and I instantly loved it yet I’m still shocked at how detailed and full of depth the actual tattoo is now it’s fully healed and complete. I cannot recommend her enough! Book with her !“

“Highly recommend this place i got a few pieces done here and every time I have been happy with what I've got the artist in the shop are all dope and they have a very chill vibe in the shop which is welcoming. I love that they accept wal ins they will work with what you want give you feedback on placement and style if you ask. Im definitely going back to continue getting more.“

“TLDR: This place is amazing. The shop owner and his wife are very sweet and I think I might have found my tattoo artist soulmate Skyler. Great experience, beautiful work and amazing personalities. I don't normally write reviews, but the experience has been stuck in the back of my head so hopefully it'll convince you to come check them out. Booking Process: Skyler had a last-minute opening through his Instagram and I was able to snatch it. He was very responsive and his enthusiasm and passion are evident even in the way he messages. He had a killer deal because he wanted to tattoo a certain style. I gave him some ideas of what I wanted included in the piece and he was able to have custom artwork for an upper arm piece done by my appointment less than two days later! I wanted to include dog skulls in the piece to represent my own dogs and he even went so far as to research skull reference pictures that were closest to their breeds (he found a chihuaha/mini poodle mix skull!). I didn't see the art until the consultation, but I was in love right away. Skyler has a great eye for composition, the elements blended seamlessly. He also placed the stencil perfectly on the first go. Location/Shop: Unfortunately, the shop is not in the safest location. I've lived in South Sacramento, so I'm familiar with the area. However, the inside of the shop itself is a stark contrast from it's surrounding area. Great natural lighting, clean and inviting. There are plants and artwork everywhere. The environment I'm in has a large impact on my mood and experience and I have no complaints there. Vibes: I feel like Skyler and I hit it off right away (if you're reading this, I hope it wasn't one-sided). He is such a cool, friendly guy and I felt at ease the entire time. We had comfortable silences, casual conversation and good laughs here and there. He was very accommodating and attentive. I messaged him the day of the appointment if we could start earlier and he happily obliged. His car actually got swiped in the parking lot during the appointment, but he took it like a champ. He took care of it quickly and returned to work with cool composure. I have no complaints about my experience with Skyler. I'm not sure if I could go to another tattoo artist again. Not just for the tattoo quality (which is amazing), but the overall experience. I was on cloud 9 for quite a while after the tattoo and have been fiending for the next session. Also got to meet the owner while his wife (who just finished her apprenticeship, congrats!) tattooed someone else. The owner was working on a sick painting. We chatted a bit and he seemed like a really cool, friendly person. I didn't get to talk to his wife, but her client seemed at ease and happy with her tattoo. If everyone else who works here is the same, then I don't think you'll have any negative experience with customer service. Tattoo: Loving my tattoo so far! We've only gotten about 3 hours in, but it's already looking sick! I love Skyler's style and his attention to detail is amazing! Great lines and shading. Pictures attached speak better than words. Looking forward to getting many more in the future. I had actually planned to do a back tattoo with another artist, but am now possibly losing that deposit to work with Skyler instead. I have so much trust in Skyler that in the future, I'd like for him to go ham on my right leg and freehand whatever he wants. Skyler was efficient and I had very minimal pain. We took maybe one fifteen minute break over the three hours. Overall: Hopefully this helps you decide to come here! 100/10. Coming again and again.“

“No egos, no attitude--just genuinely friendly people who made me feel comfortable right away. It was such a refreshing change from some other places where the artists come off stuck-up. I got my tattoo done by Jose, and he was awesome. Super professional, easy to talk to, and really took the time to make sure I was happy with the design. He made the whole process smooth and enjoyable, and the tattoo turned out amazing. Highly recommend this shop to anyone--especially if you're looking for talented artists without the pretentious vibe.“

“I’ve gotten 4 tattoos from Sophie now and she is the absolute best! If you are looking for a very comforting fun tattoo experience where you instantly feel welcome this place is the way to go! Same goes for all the tattoo artists here, i’ve also gotten one done by Nate awhile ago and it’s awesome! I love this shop with my whole heart and will tell absolutely everyone about the people here <3“

“Love my tattoo, best work I’ve had done!!!
1000% recommend Richie, go follow him on insta @spearsandneedles“

“Made friends with other clients and mostly enjoyed the staffs accommodation! My best friend loves her tattoo, Thanks Kyle!“

“Jessica (White) Bernhart has done BOTH of my large Disney inspired work, and let me tell you what.....this girls imagination and her love of color and art is AH-mazing! I still everyday have someone ask "incredible Ink....can I ask who is the artist?' I am 'itching terribly' to get another Villain on my right forearm! Let's do it again Jess and Corey.“

“I came here back in 2018-2019 and I forgot the homies names that tatted me but, they did a fantastic job on all of my tatts!!!! I got a total of seven different tattoos on my arms, hand and neck and they came out just how I wanted. I recommend this tattoo shop to anyone. And I stand on that. The more tatts you get the better the price you pay fa sho!“

“Cecy always does a great job. I always leave feeling better and my hair does too. I've gone blonde and dark and she always maintains the integrity of the hair.“

“Friday 13th tattoos !!!
This place is great!!! Great atmosphere and very friendly. Awesome work! Definitely will come again. Check this place out“

“This is the spot for all your tattoos. Top Tier service and quality for sure. I got my chest peice and it came out Hella clean.“

“Had a sleeve done by Tony. The experience with the artist was absolutely great, amazing design, tattoo skills & super great guy. The shop was super nice with TV's play movies or music videos, staff was friendly and offing water. They are truly one giant team at peaks & valleys. One thing that blew me away was Tony's dedication to his clients day four i was close to my threshold he made it as comfortable and allowed me to
Take a few extra breaks. I know if i was tired and sore Tony himself had to be pushing through being exhausted and I'm sure very sore himself from sitting and tattooing so long for so many days. With that all being said if you want a dope tattoo check the shop out and my guy Tony. I am all ready excited to book a sleeve on the other arm with him.“

“I highly recommend Jesse at the Midnight Gallery! I was excited and anxious to get my first tattoo and the gallery was the perfect combo of clean, modern, and comfortable. Jesse was very friendly and professional. We had exchanged emails about the concept of my tattoo and at the appointment we went over the design he prepared and it was perfect! We looked at different placements on my back and we agreed the center was balanced and beautiful for the design. Jesse checked-in with me throughout the tattoo to make sure I was comfortable and doing ok. It took about 3.5 hours but between talking with Jesse and honestly feeling pretty relaxed, the experience went by so fast. Jesse cleaned up and wrapped the tattoo and thoroughly went over aftercare. Overall it was a great experience and I’m over the moon about the tattoo Jesse created! Very grateful❤️“

“A few years ago I waited ever-so patiently for Jocelyn's books to open and was so nervous to go through what felt like a soul-bearing application process to see if we would be a good fit for each other. So glad I put in the effort! Half a dozen tattoo sessions later with a few more already on the books and she's got me hooked! Love her energy and artistry. Looking forward to the next session.“

“This woman is amazing yall!! I've been going to her for a few months now. I waited to write my review bc you just never know with some ppl. They good one day then garbage the next. Parm has been consistent with top notch quality service from DAY ONE. Very chill atmosphere, positive attitude, and you can tell she likes what she does. She is a part of my monthly beauty routine and I appreciate her!!!“

“I was a bit nervous walking in but Richard made me really comfortable. Great shop and great price. I got a cat lady tattoo. Very easy going and super friendly guy that instantly makes you feel at home. Plus, he loves Jesus so it was a total Godsend because I LOVE Jesus. I’ll be going back for sure.“

“I cannot express enough how happy I am with my experience. Bex was absolutely amazing, kind, and easy to work with. This was my first tattoo, honoring my two dogs who passed away last year. She surpassed my expectations and I am in disbelief how accurately she depicted my girls. The shop was beautiful, clean, and comforting. I am forever grateful for this experience.“

“Beau is one of the most talented artists out there. He shows true passion and professionalism in his work from the early stages of communicating around concepts, through perfectly executing the artwork, to giving detailed instructions for proper aftercare.I value his incredible creativity but I also really appreciate his knowledge and expertise for his craft. I fly out from the east coast for appointments with Beau and look forward to it every time.My only problem is that I keep running out of Beau’s business cards because I’m constantly handing them out… folks are always stopping to ask who my artist is!! :)“

“Dave is the man. No other artist I've gotten work done from has put the amount of care, precision and intentionality into the work. And the prices are unbelievably reasonable.“

“I will never stop returning to Affirmation Tattoo! This shop is full to the brim with good vibes and beautiful humans. I was already a client of Melissa's before she opened Affirmation and it has been an incredible transition to watch. She's always been an amazing artist and I am honored to have several of her pieces on my skin forever, but it's so stinkin cool to see her shine as a business owner who created such an inclusive and welcoming space! The other artists that have joined the shop share Melissa's views on equality and kindness, and no matter who is present you never feel out of place. I've been tattooed by Michelle there too, and her work is also phenomenal! I recommend this place every chance I get! Make sure to check it out for your next project.

Cleanliness: Great sanitation practices.“

“I’ve been seeing Eiland since 2016. I won’t have anyone else touch me with a needle. I get so many compliments on his work. I came into town from Texas (originally from
sac) just for his amazing work.“
