Stop looking for a shop - You found it. Algood Ink is the place to go if you want superb work mixed with genuine people. The owners, Josh and Sara, are THE most real people I've met. You walk in the shop and you instantly feel welcomed. You might even be welcomed by their shop cat! Josh will make your tattoo better than you imagine without compromising your unique piece. If you're not wanting ink, Sara is the gal to see if you want the smoothest piercing experience. Along with tattoos I have a handful of piercings which didn't all heal as well as I thought they could have. (Not done here LOL) I had Sara pierce my tragus and was expecting issues just with where it is and my hair getting caught up all the time. Not only was she gentle piercing, it heals quicker than any other I've had. To make this place even better they legit are couple goals--When you walk in you will see how much love there is by a drawing of Sara, Josh drew. It is the most beautiful drawing I've ever seen. Any how- if you don't go here, it's your loss. Best tattoos, piercings & people! read more

Great service, artwork and ambience. Local shop with local owners. Highly recommend. See pics for some of his work.,.he does a great job doing tattoos and designing art carving on wine read more

Josh and I determined on my last appointment that he's been my artist for over 20 years now! I got my first tattoo from him when he was an apprentice at a shop in Roseville. I loved his work and him as a person from the start. My artwork is a tribute to his progression as an artist and I can't be happier to be his canvas. If you want an artist with a vision and who isn't afraid to tell you the rights and wrong, he's your guy. He won't tattoo something he thinks won't look good or he can't accomplish for some reason. You won't be disappointed. I constantly get stopped asking about my work. He's a great artist and a lovely human. Don't walk, run to get inked by him. My mother, sister, and several friends have also been tattooed by him. Side note, his beautiful wife, Sara also peirces at their shop. Double whammy! Such a great experience every time. Love these humans! read more

My 8 year old daughter had her ears pierced at Claire's when she was 6. It was awful, uneven and became infected (despite cleaning as directed with their cleaning product). Because of this, we let them close up. She has been asking to have them redone so I called around and decided to bring her to Algood Ink. When we arrived, they were very welcoming and reassuring. Sarah was patient and so kind to my 8 year old. She did a beautiful job! I will definitely be back here if we need any more piercings, and I will be recommending to everyone! Thanks guys! read more

We were made to feel welcome and comfortable. My daughter has been wanting to get her ears pierced and we did not feel comfortable going to a place like Claire's or a Walmart for a something like this. Sara was professional, nice and did a great job. My daughter and I are very pleased with the results. Sara made sure that we felt comfortable calling after the procedure for any questions. It was only 60 dollars and that included the studs. It felt more personal and professional than the gun type piercings offered in Wal Marts and the like. Here we had a trained person with a true understanding of sanitation. read more

Had a few tattoos done here no issues the place is great. Highly recommend it. I will definitely be going back to have more work done. Josh is very friendly and easy to talk to and made the process easy. read more

Josh is freaking AMAZING! I can't express that enough. I tell Josh what I want and he turns it into something that is even more than what I could even think of! To see Josh look at a picture or listen to what I want and make it happen is the coolest thing. I wish I could be as talented. Thank you Josh! read more

I highly recommend this establishment Josh is very professional and Great at his craft! If you need a tattoo or a piercing this is the place! read more

Everyone at the shop is great! I don't know why I didn't write this review years ago...better late than never. I have gone to Josh for 5 of my 9 tattoos (one being a cover up) and his work is amazing, whether it is a unique piece he hand created or something he is taking from a reference pic. I will not go anywhere else. My daughter goes to Carlos for her piercings and he is great, talks to her. Informs her and makes sure she is happy! Work is clean and we'll done. You don't have to worry about what kind of pics and paintings are on the walls. As a woman in the shop you are not bombarded by nudies, partial nudies or questionable paintings. You can bring your kids with and feel comfortable. You don't feel like you are in a dark dugeon. I have taken my mom and my daughter there for us all to get matching tattoos and did not feel uncomfortable at all. Can not think of a bad thing to say, have been in several shops over the years and this is one I will always return to. read more

I've had work done here before by two other artists. I'm a huge fan of supporting local businesses whenever possible, however Josh's demeanor when actually working with him for a new tattoo was rude and unprofessional. He didn't return calls, didn't do any work on our sketch, and then was belligerent when we requested a return on our deposit. This refund was requested after the date we were supposed to approve our artwork and he admitted to having none to show. There are lots of wonderful artists in the surrounding cities, I'd save my time and trouble and go there. Keep in mind that a lot of these high ratings are for others in the shop....not the owner. I'd have sung this shop's praises too before having to actually work with the owner. Never again. Beware if you plan to have any work done by Josh himself. read more

So disrespectful. If they arent able to do a tattoo in the first place, then why go thru the trouble of making an appointment and not able to do their job. Its a waist of the customers time and money. Will not be going back again. Thanks for trying. read more

Had my 7-yr old's ears pierced there! A+ they were awesome.

If I could give 6/5 stars I would! First off as someone with crippling social anxiety it is VERY hard finding someone/ some place that makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. NEVER have I been uncomfortable at Josh's shop! His pricing and hospitality is spot on. Dope shop all around. With that being said I'll continue to drive from out of town to see him for my tattoos. read more

Go to Joe. Seriously, go to Joe. He does amazing work! I looked for an artist for two years to put my sleeve on me and as soon as I saw his work, I knew he was the right artist for the piece. He has lived up to my extremely high expectations. Now, the shop. It's clean, has an open feel. Not dark and kinda pissed-off feeling like a lot of the shops I've been to. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and seems to truly enjoy their work. Rates are decent. Equipment is clean. Top notch shop. read more

Three times i have gone to Algood Ink and three times they had a reason why they could not do the work. All three times the place was EMPTY of clients. I think they are just incapable of doing the piece and they don't want to admit it. I will not be returning a fourth time. read more

Yay!!! Josh was able to fix a tattoo (original NOT done by Josh) and make it look spectacular!! Thanks Josh read more

A friend and I recently went to Algood because we wanted a "best friends" design done. We had a very vague idea of what we wanted, but Carlos drew up an amazing design! We had a lot of fun getting them done; he was very professional but also fun to work with. I couldn't be happier with how the tattoo turned out and i would definitely go back to Carlos and recommend this shop to anyone in the area wanting a new tattoo. read more

Josh Algood from Algood Ink has been the sole tattoo artist for my family since my son got a tattoo from him approximately 10 years ago, and has been amazing this entire time. He has always done amazing work, and has always made the whole experience from start to finish a fantastic one. When my son got his first tattoo not long after his 18th birthday he was hesitant and very particular on what he wanted. Not only was Josh patient with him, he has this uncanny ability to know exactly what you mean when you try and explain what kind of tattoo you want. I can not recommend Josh highly enough. If you are ever on the fence about who to go to give Josh a visit and you'll never look back. read more

I am absolutely happy here! Stop by this place and trust me you will not be disappointed. Big Greg did two of my tattoos and I must say they look freaking awesome!!! Will I be coming back here?? HELL YEAH!! read more

Can't even pierce some ears evenly, half assed for $40. on top of that he had me sitting there with needles in my ears for a couple of minutes before actually putting the earring in read more

Josh is an amazing artist who can turn the pictures in your head into beautifully constructed works of art. I will never go to another shop! Great friendly atmosphere with an amazing staff. Very clean, sterile shop which is even decorated nicely. I'm in love with my back piece & touch up of an existing piece! read more

Algood Ink Tattoo - Two flowers done by Josh Algood & Ankh touched up as well. - Tattoo Near Me - Dixon, California

The owner of this shop absolutely saved my day. I had a piercing done a while back at another shop (in Santa Rosa), and it was done incorrectly and was super painful and getting infected. He fit me in at the last second, got the jewelry out, was EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and even saved the piercing by putting in the correct jewelry for me. And told me everything I need to do to continue the healing. Absolutely thrilled with this place! read more

Josh has done several tattoos for me & I am always happy with his work. He is an amazing artist, super professional, & his shop is always clean. Today he did a horse tattoo on my shoulder which he drew himself, with my own horse's markings. It came out perfect. I will only go to him for my tattoos. read more

Algoodink is by far the best shop I've been to, keep in mind that I went on a hunt for a good tattoo artist with a reputable shop countless of times. Never did I think I'd be getting tatted there, it was always just piercings with Carlos, but as I got to see their work, my mind just blew away, I was so impressed with Joshs' work; I immediately made an apt. Scheduled a session & off we were. He captures what you want & makes it 10x better. First tattoo ever & he made it smooth and easy for me, couldnt be happier, I know I'll be coming to him for future tattoos. Will see him soon for another in no time! Thanks Josh! read more

Algood Ink Tattoo - Couldn't be happier. Can't wait till it's healed. Thanks Josh! - Tattoo Near Me - Dixon, California

I was with my best friend a few days ago while she got a small tattoo done by josh. We had never been to his shop, but she won a gift certificate so we gave him a shot! Got there. All was good he was a super cool chill guy we all bullshitted while he did the tattoo. The next day my friend realized some of the lines on her tattoo weren't even. No big deal, fixable right? He even said he does free touch ups on his work for a year. So she went back in today to set up an appt to have it touched up or color in the little circles on the paw print. He said to her "your tattoo was done by a human and won't be perfect". EXCUSE ME? You are putting something on someone that is permanent! It better be as close to perfect as possible! And the picture I attached shows that it just doesn't cut it. He could have at least given options to color in the circles or something. I get that this was a free tattoo for u since u donated the gift card, but COME ON at least take pride in your work no matter how big or small the tattoo is!!!!! If you were a true artist and cared about your work, you would want it to be as beautiful as possible. Instead you are a pompous jerk about it! As someone who is covered in tattoos myself, I have been in many many shops and I will never ever step foot in this shop again! And I will be sure and let everyone else know that Josh doesn't care about his work and you will get sloppy tattoos! The proof is in the pudding my friends! Take a look at the picture. Some of the lines are thicker than others it's terrible! He did offer her an appt, but after he literally made fun of her for not being 100% satisfied why in the hell would she want to go back?!?!?! She would rather pay someone else to fix it. read more

Josh is very professional, artistic and an overall great guy. He's incredibly artistic and does amazing tattoos! He's very creative and really good at what he does. Ive had 3 pieces done by Josh including a cover-up.I had a butterfly and now i have 2 beautiful hibiscus on my back shoulder. I get complimented all the time on the work he's done. read more

Got my first tattoo. Josh was very pleasant and let me know exactly what was going to happen next to calm my nerves. They look great and i am very pleased. read more

I just had my first Appointement with Josh, the owner, and all I can say is WOW.. what an amazing job he did. I had a concept and he just rolled with it. He is a very skilled artist that knows what he is doing, He didnt rush and made me feel very comfortable. I will refer anyone who wants work done to his place. I am so happy with the result that I am planning my next one. He took his time and did a Fantastic job. Thanks so much Josh, See you again in the future. read more

I have had two pieces done here so far, both by Greg, and they are amazing!!! I have gotten so many compliments on them that it is almost bothersome!!! lol. I feel very comfortable here and there is even a kids' area. Josh is super friendly and does amazing work too. Definitly worth the money I have spent here! They start at $120 an hour with a minimum of $60. I have referred three other people here and they have all been just as satisfied as I have been. I plan on going back this weekend to have Carlos re-pierce my lip!! read more

This review is specifically for Carlos who pierced my nose. It was my first piercing ever and he was great - knowledgable , patient and even willing to tweak the corkscrew stud months later because of some discomfort I developed. I would definitely go back to Carlos for another piercing. read more

I've had two tattoo's done by Big Greg and I highly recommend not only him but this shop. They are very friendly, talented, and the place is very clean. The prices are very reasonable and what you get in return is so worth what you spend. Even if you are not from this area, I think you will find it is worth the drive. Any additional work I may have done will only be done at this shop. Poor guys are stuck with this old lady. If you go to Big Greg's page you will see a tattoo of a sweet chihuahua. That is my baby that passed away that Greg captured perfectly. Today he did a second tattoo of my other sweet baby that just passed. Picture to be up soon. He has given me my babies forever. Just amazing. You won't be sorry going to this shop. read more

First I would like to say Josh is not only a tattoo guy but an artist. He does amazing work as well as the other artists in his shop. I would never go to anyone else. I trust his talent and have never been disappointed. He has done many tattoo sessions on my arms and it looks amazing. I Am going for another session this Friday. He has also done almost all of my husband's work and my husband is tattooed from head to toe. My husband even has work on his body from when Josh first started tattooing and it looks great. Even after so many years the colors are still as if it was new. It all looks amazing. His lines are straight. Very good at shading and very, very detailed. He listens to the customers needs and wants. and just absolutely does wonderful work. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is truly a talented artist and very good at what he does. read more

Josh is fantastic for so many reasons. His artwork is clearly a step above the competition and he is more than professional with a clean shop and fair prices. He has the softest hand of any artist I've seen and yet his colors are so wonderfully vibrant! His shop is open and inviting and Josh can make you feel comfortable even if you're sitting for a several hour session. If you want truly original artwork done right, this is the place to go. I've had work done by several people, but none come close to what Josh offers. You won't be disappointed! read more

Went in for a tattoo restoration. Friendly clean and professional. Visionary. Definitely will be back.

If your looking for a great tattoo place look no more! You can't go wrong with any of the artist here!! Very nice and clean! Worth the drive from Sacramento. They can make anything you want happen with more details than you could ever think of! read more
