Best Tattoo Shops In Albuquerque

“Eddie did an amazing job on my cover up tattoo! Great price, didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would, and the tattoo is beautiful! Couldn’t be happier“

“I worked with Ty on this design he drew up of New Mexico it comes out all sick if you will! But seriously he's an incredibly talented artist was very professional, on time and kept me informed during the whole process making sure I was cool with the design! Would definitely recommend him for fine line tattoos and I'm sure he's just as careful and talented as a piercer.“

“I loved this place!! Chris was very helpful in creating my tattoo, he added his own touches to my tattoo. Amazing work!“

“This is a fantastic shop. I was a vendor at their 2026 Flash Tattoo Event for Pride & they ran the event smoothly, welcoming & efficiently. I love the tattoo I got from the owner Stilo, I highly recommend all the staff. The whole vibe is fantastic. Very clean, so friendly & the perfect place for your next ink.“

“Brooke,
We appreciated the great eyebrows. Very professional and knowledgeable.“

“Was trying to get an appointment for my first tattoo and had so many bad experiences with artists until I came across true grit. I was greeted by Emerald when I went to try and get an appointment and she was very sweet right away. She got my sister, mom, and me all booked for 2 weeks later. She was very accommodating to all of us and was very understanding. She made me feel extremely comfortable and safe. She has amazing technique and is incredibly talented. I love my tattoo and will definitely be going to her for any other tattoo I even think about and I also recommend her to everyone!!“

“We just got done with our appt for our 7yr old with Kat- Kat was an absolute delight. I really appreciate how Kat explained the process not just to me but to my kiddo as well. 10/10 very nice experience“

“Love this shop! The professionalism, cleanliness, and quality of body art is top notch! Ben is the man and I highly recommend his shop. My ink was popping so much even the local cats were like damn son, you's a pimp!“

“I absolutely love this tattoo shop! Marty (owner) is super rad to work with, super respectful and so talented and experienced. I came in for Flash Friday (17% off wall art) and he hooked me up right away. I love my piece and enjoyed my experience so much. His pricing is also incredibly reasonable. I will definitely be back when I need my next ink fix. Thanks Marty!“

“I had the pleasure of getting tatted by John H. It came out better than I even asked for and he made the process very comfortable and chill. Definitely will be coming back and definitely recommend him! Crisp work :)“

“I decided on Iron Anchor to handle my first tattoo experience, which they knocked out of the park. Classic rock on the radio, chill and relaxed vibes, great people. Rich was my artist and it could not have been more seamless; he explained everything and helped me decide on exact placement/size of my tattoo to ensure I was happy before the gun even touched my skin. The pain was maybe a 3 out of 10 for anyone concerned. I'm so pleased and thankful.“

“Everyone there is a legendary artist. Manny is great to work with, did a full sleeve on me and starting the second one“

“They charged me gratuity on a transaction where all I bought were some lip rings. Super weird considering I was not asked if I wanted to give a tip, when they told me the price it was before hand. Yeah it was only like 3 bucks but still not cool. Pay attention to your card transactions here especially if they're not informing you of an ATM card fee like most places that use square or other card readers.“

“My sister and me both got great pieces from Marlena. Shop was cool¡ From the consult to the quick appointment and especially the artist.“

“Went to get a tattoo with some colleagues from the office, just the push I needed to get more ink, which I had been meaning to get for over 20 years, since Sturgis 2002 lol, things just kept coming up. But it was well worth it. Robert P. did amazing work in color (watercolor style) in less than an hour, accommodating me as I was in a serious time crunch! He is also super cool, and explained the evolving equipment of the modern tattoo artist and I hardly felt any pain or discomfort. Place is also super clean and comfy. I am determined to get more work done by him. I'll highly recommend Stylistic Ink Tattoo Parlor.“

“I have over 20 tattoos and Madi is by far the best tattoo artist I’ve ever had. She is amazingly talented and professional. Her space is lovely and very welcoming. She is so caring and nurturing.“

“Steve did my nose for me he was super chill and very professional. Other staff that was working was very kind and helpful. The place was very clean and organized. (Definitely recommended) ?“

“I guest spotted here for the first half of may and I absolutely loved this place. So much personality all over the place. I
A very chill and relaxed atmosphere. I whole heartedly recommend this studio especially if you get over stimulated easily“

“Awesome shop. Privacy in each artist space and nice environment overall. Talon is the shit. ❤️“

“Let me begin with Jeremy is an awesome artist. He brings good vibes and good music everytime. It was a pleasure working with him over the past 5 months in completing this leg project.

When the project began I requested for the Foo Dog and I said that he can have the rest of the leg to do whatever he wanted. I put my full trust in him. The whole project came out WAY better than I could have ever imagined. Talked the whole time, open communication, and planning on what task was going to happen in the next session. 10/10 experience.

Leo, Pablo, and August at Stay Gold also do stellar tattoos! I have friends that see all of them too.

I would recommend to others to come by and talk with them about your next projects or ideas.“

“I wanted a Star Wars tattoo of Revan. The design was amazing and the detail was incredible this is my artist for life. Jay is professional extremely clean and just an all around great guy. Super talented and very light handed as well. Me and my wife have received 8+ large tattoos Star Wars, Harry Potter, exotic flowers, and animals from him and we still need more. If your reading this I promise this dude is amazing and you won’t regret stopping by and witnessing it for yourself.“

“Frankie is awesome he has done Seven of my piercings he’s always super quick to reply, super professional and clean and just the sweetest guy ever. I’ve seen his art on TikTok his tattoos and they are gorgeous. I have nothing but good things to say.“

“Awesome! Tattoo Shop! Artist Bedo is a true professional and master of his Craft. Love my new tattoo. His work is amazing.“
