Best Tattoo Shops In Albuquerque

“I have had Simon do my piercings, and Danny do one of my tattoos and is currently working on. Avery beautiful cover up. They're both very kind and make you laugh. During my first tattoo session with Danny I just knew this would be my artist from now on before even seeing his finished work due to his aura, steady hand even while my friend was making my laugh, and the final product just took the cake for sure!! These lines on this fine line tattoo are amazing!!
Simon is really an encouraging person and detailed with making sure you know what to expect. My piercings are 2nd time nipple piercings with scar tissue from years back, but made sure to get it over with and soothe the area as quickly as possible.

Danny did a second tattoo on me and it is honestly my favorite. He really outdid himself with both of my tattoos.“

“Even if you don't need a tattoo, you should visit one of the coolest dudes in town. You'll probably decide you need a tattoo after all.“

“The shop is great, comfortable and the those I have met have all been nice. I have scheduled with Eddie three times and he is great as well. Will be back again!“

“I booked my appointment online and got an immediate response from Dao Brows. My appointment was for Powder Ombre' brows. Cherelle was absolutely wonderful to work with. She took her time to achieve my desired look, checked on how I was doing many times throughout my appointment. She did an excellent job with my color match and executed the shape with precision. Her professionalism was top tier! As for Dao Studio, it was beautiful , bright, and CLEAN! Cherelle was confident and her skills are beyond reproach! I will be recommending Cherelle and Dao Brows Studio to anyone looking to enhance their look! 10 out of 10!!“

“Rick did my first tattoo, it was a really good experience, it came out so good, i love it“

“Got my snake bites done here. Amazing atmosphere and team, very sterile and professional. Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic location. Super clean. My artist Stephen gave me one of the best tattoos of my life. He took time to understand what I wanted. I felt comfortable asking for changes before we started.
Been super proud to show it off.“

“Mya is an amazing artist! She is very friendly and informative 🙂The shop is very clean and well maintained. Over all great place and people to get amazing work!“

“Updating my review...Getting tattooed by Johnny has been a great experience. I have several cover ups Johnny has done. My old work is about 40 years old and Johnny has been refreshing and covering up my old work. Awesome tattooist, respectful of my privacy, and a great overall experience.
Please remeber; good tattooing isn't cheap and cheap tattooing isn't good....“

“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.“

“I had an awesome experience at All Is One Tattoo Shop! The front desk, lady was friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The artist Serafina took the time to make sure everything was just right. The quality of the work is amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with how my tattoo turned out. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great work and great people.“

“Definitely need to go back soon. Its been years, I need a touch up & another 💯🖖🏽“

“I got one of the “Bottom Dollar Bangers” from Shanna and it is amazing!!! Shanna was super sweet and friendly, and the tat came out stunning. Will be booking with her again. (Photo from immediately after session). The studio is also super comfortable and relaxing energy. Super organized and clean.

Overall, amazing experience!!! I will be back!“

“Had the pleasure of working with Paul Anthony who gave me an absolutely stunning piece! Very professional, clean and welcoming environment from all the staff, I'll definitely be recommending this place to all my friends! Check them out for sure!“

“I went to 71 Tattoo and had the honor to get the owner (Martin Williams ) to give me a tattoo that I could not have been more thankful for. He looked at it and basically changed a little about the picture and drew it out for me and made it more beautiful than what I wanted and while I was waiting for my artist to set up I was talking to one of the other artists and asking them about the after care and they were so helpful that they showed me what type of products to use and that made me feel like they really care for there customers. When my artist was done with the tattoo I could not believe how beautiful it came out and I told myself that I want these guys to be my tattoo place for now and out. I am so thankful! Thank you guys for the amazing job you guys do!!! 💖“

“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.“

“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 absolutely love Steve! He does almost all my piercings and they all healed beautifully. I got my jestrum, vertical labret and my eyebrow. I got my second eyebrow piercing done by him today and I always feel so welcome there. I recommend him to everyone, it’s an amazing clean shop with friendly staff and they’re so kind lol! I always go back cause it’s so amazing.“

“My husband and I were given the name by a someone in a store we were in so we took a ride to the shop. My husband was skeptical when we pulled up, but I said lets give it a chance. The guys in the were all really nice for our first time. I was very emotional due to the tattoo that I wanted, and they were very comforting , offering me tissues and water. Brandon did an excellent job on my tribute tattoo, and Dano did a great job on my husband. We would definitely recommend if you are ever in ABQ.“

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

“Jason Ward is an extraordinary artist. He's been laying down badass ink for decades!“

“This may not be the oldest tattoo shop in Albuquerque but it is home to the most gifted artist in this city.“

“Awesome Experience!!
Spontaneous trip to Albuquerque for the weekend.
Jay was accommodating, personable,and knowledgeable. Relaxing environment, and totally chill vibes.
Thank you for the nice piece.

“Wow! I don't know where to begin. I had been thinking for years that I wanted a tattoo but was always too nervous to pull the trigger. I finally decided to do it and a friend recommended Josh at Original Duke City Ink. I am so glad they did. I could not have had a better experience anywhere else. Josh was so kind knowing that I was nervous. He carefully explained the process and encouraged me to take breaks throughout. And the actual tattoo? Absolutely beautiful! It could not have turned out better! I highly recommend this place and I highly recommend josh. Go see him for your next tattoo - or like me, for your first tattoo!“

“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.“
