I got my first tattoo for my birthday yesterday and I'm very pleased with the experience. Octavio was professional, personable and funny, which helped make me feel more comfortable. Everything was very sanitary, which a fresh needle, etc. He explained the after-care process in detail and was very helpful. Thanks again!! read more

I walked in about 7 pm on monday april 10th to get my nose pierced and snake bite pierceing. Seven waa my piercer and he was awasome i was extremly nervous so he was great gave me as much time as i needed between pierceings and never rushed me. And the price wasnt bad for 3 piercings read more

I have been to a lot of different tattoo shops and this is the ONLY place I have been to where they are actually nice to you. I have only gotten simple tattoos there but they did a quick and amazing job, they even touched up my other tattoos for cheap! The shop may jut be a little hole in the wall but they provide great customer service and great work and if you are looking for cheap prices then you will get a cheap tattoo so price shouldn't even matter, but the price was very fair for what they provide. Also the guy was so sweet he had to shave some of my hair to get the tattoo where I wanted and he was really concerned about shaving my head and it looking bad. It just proved they really care about their customers and their experience! read more

Awesome experience getting a piercing here. Seven is great, and made me feel very comfortable. If I end up getting another piercing, I know where I'm going. read more

Went there years ago,me and a friend got our first piercing there.I got the eye brow,she pierced her tongue.Her piercing was crooked in her tongue! stood at an angle and my eye brow ring was too far up the eyebrow!It was placed before my eyebrow arch,in the middle of my brow!Her tongue got infected,she ended up removing hers and i removed mine and got it redone much lower,where it should've been pierced.Of course i still have a scar from the first eye brow piercing though.they also had a pitt bull in there that had a pierced nose!The poor dog had a bull ring through it's nostrils!!I couldn't believe it,the dog looked miserable.I would never go back or recommend this place to anyone but the Humane Society. read more

When I asked the technician how she got into piercing, she told me she learned by the "grandfather" approach. As in, she watched someone else do it, and started doing it herself. Hmmm... why didn't I see that as a red flag??? Needless to say, the piercing was done terribly and I could never get the infection to go away. I tried replacing the jewelry and kept it very clean, as instructed. After years of an infected piercing, I finally consulted with a PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED and certified piercer, and it had to be removed. They took pictures and put it on their wall of shame. I can't speak to DV8's tattoo's, but piercings? Look elsewhere. There are cleaner shops with better reputations in Concord -- so don't waste your time here! read more

This place was definitely the right choice for my tattoo. I got a tribal type snake and it was done very quickly and cleanly. Before I got it someone told me I should be skeptical about tattoos that are done in 20 minutes but mine turned out even better than I expected. I will definitely be going here again soon! read more

I had a bad experience with Seven. I called him and told him I needed new jewelry for both of my tragus and he said he had jewelry in stock and that he would be at the shop. I told him I'd be driving from Napa. Low and behold I show up at the shop only to be told he had left for the evening. I ended up driving a few blocks and found a great shop. read more

Honestly, I've been to this shop like 4 times and still haven't gotten anything done but this review is for Nate and the awesome work I've seen him do. All the guys here are funny and pretty cool. Nate is a great artist and I strongly recommend him. They welcome walk-ins but seriously they get hella busy so call ahead for an appointment. read more

Getting my half sleeve done by Patrick was an awesome idea he even cleaned up some ugly tattoos I had gotten previously....

I went here with a friend so she could get her first tattoo, which was just simple lettering, but the artist (I apologize but I've forgotten his name) did really well with it. Even though it was such a simple tattoo, he made sure that it was absolutely perfect and when it was done he said if she ever needed a touch up to come back in for free. So then I decided to get my belly button pierced. The piercer was very thorough with dare information, gave me a huge bag of sea salt for salt soaks (which places like Zebra will charge you $10 for something not even close to the same size) and they skip the BS and don't try to make you buy all their crap. Unfortunately the only jewelry they had was a clear head(diamond looking) one, but I was totally fine with it. and it was Friday the 13th so my piercing was only $13 + jewelry (around $15). Besides that, very clean inside and nice people. I would go back and recommend it. read more

i love this shop, everyone here is so friendly and professional. would definitely recommend! i was recently tattooed by jessica, if youre looking for clean crisp lines and top notch traditional work as well as original artwork and ideas, i would deff go see her. and plan to be tattooed by james as well hes tattooed my boyfriend and it came out wonderful and exactly like the drawing he had done for the tattoo, nates work is also flawless and very thorough, his portraits are unbelievable realistic read more

DV8 Tattoos - the two ladies under my knee cap are by jess, this is literally right after they were done, i love them! - Tattoo Near Me - Concord, California

I have a tattoo that's months old yet looks like it's YEARS old. I don't blame it on how I took care of it because I did everything right---I blame the artist, especially after someone who knows their stuff looked at it and confirmed that it was crappy tattoo work done by an AMATEUR. My first tat is 5 years old, is red, and still very bright and colorful. This second one has a lot of meaning to me and is special because it's in honor of someone, but is faded and has spots where the artist DID NOT fill in! So it's got "bald spots" and is horrible. I can't even show the person I got the tattoo in honor of because it's so ugly. I regret going to this place for that tattoo!!!!! I wish I didn't tip the guy so high, but I was in a very happy and generous mood back then since the tat's so important. Now I need to go get it touched up by a REAL tattoo artist. Go to some other place. read more

I got my dermal anchor here by JOHNNY a littleover 2 months ago. Everything about it has been great. Getting it done was fast easy and Johnny explained everything about the process while he was setting up. 2 months later the anchor has healed perfectly with no complications. I'd go back to Johnny for any piercing. read more

Patrick no longer works here but hands down was the best guy there. I, as well as other family members have gone to patrick and his work is amazing. however the tattoo artist who has recently been hired, James, isnt the best. hes really nice but not so good with tattoos. i recently got a tattoo by him and i was extremely clear about what i wanted. it was a very simple tattoo, hand writing of a family member. he had to go over it a couple of times because it wasnt thick enough and as it was healing it began to get infected. his work seemed legit when i looked in his book, but i advise against it. if you want to get a tattoo from here, get it done by nate. or go to patrick who now works in walnut creek. read more

Brandon bear is amazing great work and very friendly and gentle. Will definetly be going to him along with the other artists at the shop for more work:) read more

I haven't been to this place in 8 years but decided to review because not only was it one of my best experiences at a tat shop but 8 years later the script that Nate did on me still looks just as crisp and clean as the day he inked me. If I remember correctly Nate is the owner and or co-owner of the shop and it's been my experience over the years that the owners do the best work. Definitely worth waiting for and booking and appointment if he isn't available for your walk in. read more

Got 3 tattoos there. Great artists. Will go back for sure. Only downfall was if they have set hours they need to adhere to them & have someone there. Also I got a tat I wanted to add to & the guy refused cause another guy there did the original. Their brotherly code was honorable but I ended up going somewhere else because of it. But the artists are really good, they're great with suggestions & I've recommended them a lot. read more

Jessica is a sweetheart. I walked in to get a simple small date inked on my leg but she was just about to do a big piece, so she took my number and told me she'd call me when she finished. I didn't expect a call (what can I say? :)) but sure enough, she called me back as soon as she was finished, I headed over, and she did exactly what I asked for. She even went over another date that I had gotten a couple years prior that had faded a bit (my kids' birthdates). Cash only, fyi! read more

Awesome awsome!!!!! Nathon is incredible and love my tatt. Not every artist can do tribal but this guy can......definitely check this place out. read more

My husband and I have both gone to Seven for piercings, and we couldn't be happier, nor will we go anywhere else! He's funny, personable, puts you at ease, and answers any and all questions. We can't wait for our next ones! read more

Went in for a belly button piercing and it was a wonderful experience! Seven is super knowledgeable about piercings and even told me how to keep it clean. Definitely recommend read more

I love this shop! Everyone there is awesome, educated with their shit and are incredibly chill and nice! My friend went to get his piercings done there, "snake bites" by Mitch ad his bridge by Josh. All done beautifully :D I went yesterday to get some CBR's for my piercings, Mitch stretched em for me and put in some new ones. He's extremely nice, educated, and it's nice to just chill and chat with him. He does things quickly, carefully, and painless! I am planning to go back to get my tongue pierced asap, and see about some tatts! I highly recommend this shop. read more

I finally got the first peice of my sleeve completed and it looks amazing! A huge thank you to Patrick! You're work is killer dude and I'm looking forward to the next peice. DV8 is very clean very professional, the vibe was very upbeat and warming. The staff is awesome and funny! I recommend this tattoo shop to anyone looking for real art. I can't leave out that they are also reasonably priced. Patrick you rock bro!!!!!! Happy 30th to me!!! Rock out!!!! read more

I have my brother 300$ to get flames from his fist to his wrist. He called me 2 more times saying they needed more money. More shading, more money. You'd think on the initial consultation they'd be sure of the price to charge. Also a friend of mine got her hood pierced here years ago, she had some pretty crazy experience with the guy who did the piercing. The artists all seem pre occupied and could work a bit more on customer service. read more

I have been getting tattoos for 25 years and have been all over the states and abroad. I am still amazed at the attention to detail and the whole design process that Nate uses when you show up. He is, by far, the most talented and thorough artist that I have had tattoo me over the years. He has tattooed both my adult children and they feel the same way I do about his work. He should have his own reality show........... read more

I can't say enough great things about Nate at DV8. I came by close to closing time & got lucky that he was not only there (he came HIGHLY recommended), but not busy with another client. Having just lost my 5 yr old nephew a couple days ago, I was hoping he could help me design a very specific tattoo to memorialize him, & Nate did just that. He was very patient with me as we tweaked it to create exactly what I was hoping for, & I am thrilled with the result. Very professional, easygoing, entertaining, & the price was reasonable. Check them out! read more

I went to see about getting a tattoo from this shop since a friend of mine just had one done and raved. I had a general drawing of an idea and took it in. I walked in the shop and there was nobody around and then a minute later some guy comes walking out of the back. He doesn't introduce himself or even ask me any questions, I just started the whole convo. I showed him the design and he said it would take about a week for him to draw it up and he would get back to me. Our little "consultation" took less than 5 minutes and he didn't even want to look at my drawing. Needless to say it has been over a week and no phone call. I took his card on my way out and that is how I found out his name was Patrick. I was totally bummed and won't go back even if he does call...which he probably won't. Customer service is a plus for some people. read more

Got my 7th (I think) tattoo from Devin and I have nothing but stellar things to say about my experience. The staff is friendly and awesome and an easy group to be around even for hours while enduring pain. I got a tattoo on my foot which I should have known would be extremely painful but decided to risk it anyway. Devin worked with me to produce and original design that was to my liking. He was patient and attentive while working and kept up some light conversation while working. The guys in the shop are fun, funny and friendly. A couple stopped by to check out my work in progress and gave encouragement at how good it looked. In the end I walked out with an amazing tattoo that was more then I expected as far as quality and attention to detail. The tattoo took longer then I expected but this was because Devin has a great eye for detail and wanted to get it right. It was an awesome experience and I have no complaints... except for maybe they need a bigger space because it got crowded. read more

I went to the shop with a friend. They got both of our tattoos started in 10-15 min. The artest I worked with was awesome I came in with a few ideas and we worked together to come up with something I LOVE. They did a great job read more

Very nice people, excellent service, very professional. I got my ears pierced, Johnny did it. Great job, very nice guy. Very knowledgable. Made sure I was very clear on everything, I would highly recomend. Clean place too. read more

I just got a tattoo done here and am very pleased with mine, but while my friends and I were inside, one of that artist kept pointing and looking at us. On the way out he made a rude comment to me. Way to loose a customer. read more
