Hello all, I am looking for a good tattoo shop to finish my sleeve. I have my bottom portion of my arm left to do but havent had any work done here in the bay. I had all my previous work done in maui so I need agood shop for my wife and myself to get good ink work. Please include shop name and an artist name of you can. Thanks in advance for the reference's.

joe leonard at monkey wrench tattoo in santa rosa

 

James at Zebra Tatoo in Berkely does amazing work. My best friend got her back piece from him and it is spectacular.

Tell him Alex sent ya

 

It would help if you posted what style tattoo you're looking to get, and maybe a picture of your unfinished work. Most of the top artists will be very reluctant to finish someone else's art; can't the original artist finish the work?

 

aren't there 3 or 4 of these threads. Do a search. You questions will be answered.


Bottom line... best shop depends on what style you want and opinion.

I for one have plans to get my next 2 tattoos from two different artists in santa cruz. After that I have a couple more planned for one dude in particular and I'm looking for a missing piece of artwork and an artists for one more. Basically have the next few years already planned out as one dude has a 2 year waiting list... though I can probably get in in sooner.

 

Tattoos by Advance in Fremont... that's his name.

 

damn. I didn't even know he was still around.
