He pierced my ear and used a clasp earring which I never seen done before but I trust the owner and all his years of experience. Bad idea. Not even a week later my ears were in so much pain and swollen, the claps were so tight they cut the skin on my ears and my skin began to heal around the earring. I had to go to a tattoo shop to have the earring removed. I had blisters near the end of the clasps and my skin over grew the two ends of the clasp to separate the earring from my ear. There was no room between my swollen skin and earring to where we could cut the earring with pliers so spent over 35 minutes trying to remove each ring. I was in the wrist pain I was crying screaming blood was everywhere my entire left side of my jaw went numb and I almost past out cause the pain. My sister came with me and got her cartilage pierced that day as well. Just this morning she sent me a video of two out of three of her piercings were ingrown with the skin in her ear. The jewelry he used was too small and there was no room left for swelling.

The whole studio is set up creatively and each artist has their own decorative station. My most recent visit was with Justin, or @fatttattz on instagram. Justin was very patient, detailed, and thorough. After drawing out the original stencil design, he suggested to switch and flip the butterflies so it wouldn't be so "top heavy", and also advised that we should do a stipple effect on the vines so that it gave a more feminie look and that over time, the ink wouldn't look so harsh. He even decided to shade the butterflies for more definition and to blend the piece together. I am SO GLAD he gave his professional input and that I listened to him!!! I think it came out gorgeous and Im more than happy with how it all came out. He made sure to check in through out the whole process and he was hilarious!! I highly recommend JUSTIN !!! He told me he's been tatting since '99 and specializes in traditional tats but has started doing realism pieces. Tell him I sent ya !!!

After the service, my son wanted the matching earring for his other ear. Matt informed us that he had to order it, and once it arrives he would give us the earring free of charge, due to the interaction regarding me and my son's last name. But when the earring arrived he said he never told us the earring was free. Very poor communication skills.

This time she adapted a piece of my best friend's art for tattooing, and it's definitely my new favorite ink. Monica, you have a client for life in me.

Everyone makes you feel like a regular, even if it's only your first or second time, and the whole vibe feels so authentic to the people who work there. A true 11/10 joint that I recommend to anyone I can.

The Best In The Bay!…read more The Artist: I actually discovered Sugar City tattoo through Yelp! I was looking for a tattoo artist that have experience in outdoor nature scenery! After a few months of searching I finally decided on Sorin and ready to get my own paradise! Sorin is one of the coolest artists that I have ever met. I felt very comfortable with him during consultation. He was very patient, very helpful. Customer discussing ideas can be frustrating for an artist specially when the customer have a difficult time describing designs. I was that customer lol. But Sorin was calm while sharing some ideas! He was easy to talk to and the vibe was real!!I knew it then that the process of getting my tattoo is going to be a pleasant experience! And I wasn't wrong! Sorin completed the project and I was very pleased of the quality and the results. My friends, family and colleagues love it!! So, I went back for a second one! It won't be the last! Tha facility: I like the facility a lot. It's situated in one of the main streets in Crockett in one of the historic buildings. I'm not really sure but it looks historic. The interior looks cool and cozy and not scary! lol. It's a place anyone will be comfortable getting tats done! Finally, if you are thinking of getting ink for New Year or something personal, Sorin is the man for the job at Sugar City Tattoo Company! As I mentioned, I'll be back for more! FYI: Photos from Sorin

TLDR: I went in for a naval piercing and left without one and paid $20. With the unfriendly and…read moreunprofessional staff, hot and stuffy room, the piercer's baby crying in the small shop, and unclean practices I chose to leave. When I first walked in the male at the desk was not very friendly and did not even greet us. We were handed over to the piercers and one asked the other "Do you want her or do you want me to take her?" the other responded "I don't care". At this point I'm don't really feel like a valued customer, I'm just whatever to them. Not one person said hello to me, introduced themself, or even asked me my name. The whole process felt like I was being rushed and they wanted me in and out very quickly (despite no other customers in the shop). I was moved to the small room in the back and every question I asked felt like I was bothering the piercer, giving me short answers instead of helping me to make a decision. The jewelry did not seem properly sterilized, just quickly sprayed down, no autoclave machine. I did not even see the piercer wash her hands. With the unfriendly and unprofessional staff, hot and stuffy room, the piercer's baby crying in the small shop, and unclean practices I chose to leave. I did have to pay $20 because the piercer said she already opened the needle (which was opened before selecting jewelry and marking). Not complaining because I understand those are her supplies, but I wish she waited until she saw that I was ready and comfortable. Was hoping for a different outcome because I saw so many great reviews, but perhaps I caught them on an off day like a few other negative reviews mentioned

Okay If you're looking for someone who saved my nipples from being a total disaster go see Shorty…read moreshe is the best The shop was nice good vibes. I went in shaking and honestly. I already had an infection from a botched job somewhere else plus a not so smart er doctor my nipple where Swollen, angry, red as hell--I thought I'd have to rip them out myself. But Shorty just took one look, no drama, and said, "Sit. We're fixing this." She was so calm and knowledgeable and kept me laughing throughout my ordeal she Gloved up, fresh everything, and slid those rings out with this gentle, steady pull. No tugging, no pain--just... gone. Like magic. Then she cleaned me up, gave me aftercare tips that actually worked, and told me to come back if I had any questions or problems. The whole thing Over in five minutes. And yeah--she's tiny, but those hands are rock-solid. Shorty is an Absolute legend great piercer, and knowledgeable medical field. I walked out feeling fixed, I'd let her save me again--any day. Thank you Shorty again you the best. thinking about getting my septum pierced definitely going to Shorty.

Unfortunately, that confidence didn't translate into results. He clearly didn't understand the blending or flow required for the piece, and what should have been a smooth, cohesive design ended up disjointed and awkward. It's cost me thousands of dollars to have other artists fix and cover parts of his work -- money and time I never should've had to spend. If you're after American Traditional, Richard might be a solid choice. But if you want Japanese Style or anything that requires more nuance and flow, I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere or at least demanding to see a comprehensive portfolio first. Very disappointing experience overall.
