“Tony’s attitude has me sold on getting a tattoo here! Real clean he took time to break things down to me and informed me of his next opening! Once I sit in the chair I will be updating with pics ❤️his work is amazingggg“

“Had an issue removing my corkscrew nose piercing on two occasions due to slight trauma to the nose. Each piercer took a look at my nose to understand what happened. They explained what was going on and they removed the ring with little discomfort. Replacing the ring was a little difficult due to the swelling on the inside of my nose. However, each piercer was able to put a replacement ring in with some discomfort. I was told to return should there be any issues or if the ring needed adjustment.They have quality jewlery - I can onmy wear 14k. They are professional and above all they are clean and sterile, which is a huge plus for me. I would definitely go back.“

“I’m Chase and My girlfriend made an attempt on her life earlier this year. I’ve never gotten a tattoo before and had zero plans or intentions on getting one I didn’t find them appealing or attractive on anyone. However this I thought would be something completely worth having on my body for the rest of my days no questions asked.
My artist was Richie and he was amazing very kind and did an excellent job. Jake and Evan were extremely kind and everyone was just very professional. I would recommend you give this place a shot if you’re looking for a tattoo. If I get more, I will be going back here.“

“Chase was my tattoo artist and he was an absolute delight to be around and did an absolutely incredible job on my tattoo. I have multiple pieces by him and definitely look forward to getting more. Thanks, Godspeed.“

“If you're in the Oakland area and itching for new ink then get in touch with Empire Tattoo. The staff is friendly and I will without a doubt be returning to the shop in the near future. Huge shout out to Lew Sommerville for my doing my latest piece, it was a real pleasure! Can't express enough how satisfied I was with the results and my experience at the shop!“

“The only spot for tattoos and piercings - incredible, warm atmosphere with a very talented team. Very clean and professional but always welcoming. Whether you come for one of their super-popular flash events or you have something custom in mind, Saged Crystal has it all. Holly is a rockstar and can make your tattoo dream a reality. This team loves their craft and you can tell. Stop in - you won’t be disappointed!“

“I would highly highly recommend going here! The shop is super clean. The guys were super friendly and provided a fun laid back atmosphere. I was a walk in yesterday and I showed they guys exactly what I wanted on each one of my biceps and Ron went to work to do his magic. I was alittle nervous bc I never used the saniderm before and he even offered for me to come back today to help me change it. I will definitely be back and am recommending up in arms tattoo and piercing to everyone I know.“

“My experience here was wonderful! All the staff is welcoming and knowledgeable. They're accommodating with troubleshooting piercings and repiercing if needed. Highly recommend!“

“This is a great studio to get new ink. I scheduled with Adam (the owner). Great artist and person! His work is top notch and everyone who works here is above friendly. Go check out Alter Ego if you’re looking for new ink or piercings.“

“Laura has done two tattoos for me this year and I love them both so much! She was very honest about what to expect with the pain for both locations, which I appreciated even though I know all tattoos hurt to some extent. She also helped me decide on the location of the second tattoo and moved the stencil as many times as needed until we agreed on a good placement. She’s easy to talk to but also doesn’t seem to have an issue with a quieter session. Everyone that works there is friendly and the shop is super clean. I will be back to get more work done by Laura and always recommend her to others!“

“Bobby and Dalton are unreal! Their skill is unmatched! This is my fifth tattoo here and I’m already planning the next tattoo!“

“Not knowing that I needed an appointment I showed up to the shop, so it was closed and I made a phone call. Went to voicemail but within 2 minutes Sean called me back. Within an hour I was in the shop. The work that Sean did was above and beyond. It's a memorial piece and a portrait as well and I had some significant alterations that I wanted done to it. It was absolutely no problem for him. I'm headed back Monday to get it finished up. I would 100% recommend Sean to anyone looking for some ink.“
