I decided to go to Frisco Tattoo based on a Google search and proximity to my apartment. I also wanted to get some quick lettering work done, so I appreciated that they welcomed walk-ins. Riley (@riley_coyote1) was the artist that was available at the time, and I am really thankful for that. Riley stayed late, past closing hours, to make sure he could get me in that day. He was super friendly, and you can tell that he really has a passion for tattoos. It was my first tattoo, and he was really helpful in walking me through what to expect. He is extremely skilled and it came out exactly how I wanted. read more

I've gotten 10 tattoos in the past 2 years, most which were done by Iggy. I've had nothing but a great experience at frisco tattoo. The tattoos are so clean and such high quality so I always come back there. I constantly get compliments about them even by random people about how great the small details are. Christian also who has done three of my tattoos as well as one for my dad which came out great. I'm constantly recommending frisco to everyone especially Iggy whose work and versatile art skills have never disappointed. read more

Frisco Tattoo's 25th St location is nothing if not legendary. I've been to plenty of shops throughout the country and abroad, and Frisco has by far been my best experience. The space is clean and intentional, and the artist's welcoming energies live up to the shop's neighborhood reputation. A San Francisco must. I've gotten three pieces done by @tattooiguana. Lock this dude down before he gets too famous. He can do anything from American Traditional to lettering to traditional Mesoamerican art (his specialty in my opinion). His heart goes into his work and it shows! He is incredibly knowledgeable, never fails to exceed expectations, and is always improving my ideas. The photo is Quetzalcoatl, his last piece of mine. Get out to the shop asap! read more

Been going to Frisco Tattoo's 25th St. location since I moved up to San Francisco, and absolutely love it there. I've gotten 5 pieces done by Iggy and thoroughly enjoy his work. This mandala is my most recent tattoo by him, in its early healing stage. He takes his time, and is precise with line work and color packing! He's awesome to collaborate your ideas with and will give you great work. Will most definitely continue to go back to 25th St. for my tattoos. Highly recommend! @tattooigguana read more

Was looking for a skillful cover up artist online and I came across Natalie's information. After checking out her work I emailed her a few times back and forth and then she asked me to come into the shop so she can check out the ink I wanted covered up. First of all she's incredibly warm and kind, you feel instantly comfortable in her presence. The shop is small, but there are only two artists working at a time that I've seen. Everyone who works at the shop is patient, informative and fun to be around. It feels like hanging with friends when you're here. Ps their artistry and skill is superb! read more

Okay, wtf... WHERE HAS RILEY BEEN OUR WHOLE LIVES?!? This was literally the best tattoo experience we've ever had. From the start, he was kind and thorough. Riley made several stencil sizes to ensure we were content with placement and sizing on both of our tattoos. His attention to detail and patience made for art we were sure to walk away in love with. Pricing was fair and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Riley, for being a positive part of a happy memory for us!! We will definitely come back!!! ~Chelsea and Kelsey read more

I got my first tattoo ever done by Ken. He was very patient and helpful when I asked him questions about pain and tattoos in general. I was honestly very nervous about the pain. Ken reassures me saying I'll be okay and asked me if I'm ready a few times before he started. Ken did a great job transfering a graphic image on my phone to a real tattoo on my upper left shoulder. He checked with me about the details of the tattoo and the right colors. I would definitely come back here for other tattoos! read more

So, about 25 years ago I got two pretty big pieces. One on my abdomen from hip to hip and one on my lower back. Lucky for me it was my then boyfriend, Shane Woodward from Black Pelican Tattoos in Boca Raton, Fl. I guess at the end of the day you can bet your boyfriend is totally going to have your back. So years later, I come in here for a simple phrase. Artist did the stencil and asked if I liked it. I know this...I was super excited, super nervous and I feel certain my adrenaline had me in a state of ADHD. I looked at the stencil on my arm. Perfectly centered. Really great lines. Spelling correct. I really loved how it looked. And here is what I absolutely know. It is MY responsibility to make sure that what is going on my arm is perfectly how I want it. I honestly thought it was. Forward to the end of the session when tat was finished. Still adrenaline rushed and super sore, still ADHD and super excited for my silly but very special to me simple phrase on my arm. I STILL did not see it. I didn't even see it till I got home and calmed down a bit. I was really upset. Surely artist saw this. How could he possibly not. He did not have my back. To be sure, I went to the internet and looked and looked, hoping to find the lower case letter "t" that looked like the one you did. The way you did the "t' gave the word a whole new meaning. I did not find one ANYWHERE. I wonder if you got a kick out of it. Anyone in their right mind would know that the "t" now looked like a "p". And speaking of being in the right mind, please remember that people coming in for tats are nervous, and excited and adrenaline or pumping from pain and excitement. You could have had my back a little better than that. I was wanting a bunch of art done too. This phrase thing was just to get my feet wet again with a tattoo after 25 years. And wanted you to do it. I am not saying you name as a favor. You are an amazing artist. I don't know what you were thinking with the one fucking line you added for no sensible reason. I trusted you though. And I was super psyched at your talent. Your lines were amazing. Was it your personal little joke to yourself? There is just no way you did not know what that was going to look like. What can I say? This poo shall pass. read more

Three of my girl friends and I spent the afternoon here today. Yep, we were that loud group of girls that decided to get tattoos together. (Don't hate!) The guys who work here (especially Charlie and Francisco) are awesome. I felt very comfortable, and I almost never feel comfortable in tattoo shops 'cause they're usually run by douchebags with holier-than-thou attitudes. No attitude here - Charlie did an excellent job on all of us and was funny and personable to boot. Thanks guys!! read more

They peer pressure you into buying a tattoo so much so that it's not even a sale anymore, they deny colors (if you wanna do a whole tattoo that's just pink they'll tell you it won't look good and they won't do it) and when they're doing the tattoo they don't ask if you want it filled or not they just assume. They don't double check your preference in the tattoo. If you got other tattoos and it's not appealing to them they will talk smack about your tattoo artist in front of you. Overall, it was the worst tattoo experience I ever had in my life. read more

had a DOPE experience with Riley today. I'm on a roadtrip from Seattle and found this gem of a shop in the mission district! Not only is my tattoo sick but the whole vibe was what really got me. Super chill and inviting and I feel like Riley went above and beyond. couple things to note: -they do accept walk-ins but I would call before if you can -there's only street parking in front of the shop and I believe you have to feed the meter anytime before 6, 2 hrs MAX, so if your gonna be longer I'd recommend parking in one of the close garages and walking over -cash only, if you don't happen to have any on you (like me lol) then there's a little gas station on the corner with an ATM. Thanks again Riley! read more

The artist I worked with here was Kevin. I found him through Instagram and only works here on thursdays. However the other shop he works at was a two hour drive from where I was staying at and since I was only visiting California for three days he was more than okay with meeting me at friscos on his day off. Kevin is super awesome and a really nice dude. Also whatever pictures or drawings you send him he will make it look 1039382828 times better. If you're in the San Fran area on thursdays hit check out the shop and ask for Kevin! read more

I really wanted to give a shout out to Joe I've been getting tattooed by him for 20 years and every time I go to him I'm blown away by his work. I just got done getting tattooed by him today and can't say enough good things about another positive experience. Joe always goes above and beyond what I was expecting and really hooks it up. My favorite thing about Joe is when he gets on a roll talking about stuff. it makes the tattoo experience more entertaining when he's talking about all his insider knowledge on just about any topic you can think of. I don't know the other guys that work there but I've seen there art and they do unreal tattoo art. I definitely recommend Joe and his guys for anything big pieces, traditional tattoo art, Japanese, walk ins everything go to Joe or his guys. can't say enough good things. read more

1000/10 would recommend coming to get your work done here. The shop is super clean, and all of the artists are really talented. I got my work done by Morgan, he was super nice, very professional extremely detail oriented and had a light touch which was crucial as I was getting my ribs done and it was quite the spicy experience. During my tattoo I chatted with a few of the other artists, they were all very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making sure I as well as other clients felt welcome and comfortable in the shop.

Natalie did my tattoo as well as my two sisters all in the same day. Even after being the epitome of an unprepared tattoo client (literally forgot to eat, brought two people in their smaller work space, talked her ear off- don't try this at home kids), she was so patient, down-to-Earth, comforting, and most importantly, a bad ass tattoo artist. I had an American traditional dragon done on my forearm, while my sisters had a fern and a butterfly done. Her work is THE SHIT. If you're looking to support female artists and want someone who has the right amount of edge with the right amount of feminine touch, Natalie is your girl. I have 8 other tattoos and this is definitely my favorite ever. Her pricing is so very reasonable too, and for the quality of work is unbeatable. The other tattoo artist working was very friendly too! THANKS NATALIE! read more

I got two different tattoos from Natalie and I loved them both! She designed one based on a rough specification I gave her and the other she used a print from an artist that I really liked. Both came out perfectly and I could not be happier with the result. She was professional, fun, and excellent in every way! I will definitely be going back to her for my next tattoos. read more

You first walk in and think they just do stupid ''represent the bay area'' tats but these guys have serious talent. I chose to spend almost a grand on a tattoo from a place I knew nothing about- Simply because it was less than a block from my house and I am a lazy fuck. LUCKILY I was NOT disappointed!! I got a huge pinup piece on my ribs (I could imagine it's a hard place to tattoo bc you cant exactly be still since you've still got to breath) by Span. It's identical to the original piece of artwork which is pretty amazing because I dont think he had much experience with portrait style work. Very impressive. The place is pretty small so there's lots of chatting going on with the other dudes there. All pretty nice, down to earth guys. They were very patient with my bitchy attitude which gets my 5 stars. read more

Frisco Tattoo is the spot! If you are looking to get tattooed, then look no further. Not only do they do some of the best script writing in the city they are also awesome people. My artist was Ken and let me start by saying that he is uper friendly and super professional. He works with you to make sure you get the design you want, but he also offers his knowledge of how tattoos work with eachother and lay on the body. I can tell he knows his craft and has worked hard to make it what it is today. I was flipping through his work while at the shop and it was all very impressive! I was out running a few errands and I stopped by Frisco Tattoo, literally just stopping by to try and set up an appointment. When Ken saw my design he said he could bust it out today. Needless to say, I was stoked! I told him I would be right back as I just wanted to take my car home and ride my bike over (parking over there is usually metered and I wanted to save the money). He said it was all good and he would have everything ready by the time I came back. I came back shortly after and he was just putting the finishing touches on the drawing of my tattoo. We got to tattooing shortly after that. The pain doesn't bother me much, but I did appreciate that Ken would periodically check to see if I needed a break or anything (a sign of someone who cares about the client they are tattooing). I of course never took one :) (not trying to sound tough, my tattoo was actually just a fairly small one). Anyway, I left super stoked and jumped on my bike, riding away with a smile. When I got to my next destination I realized that I lost my effin wallet on the way. I smashed back to the shop as fast as I could. On the way I realized that there was no way it was in the shop because I was putting away Ken's business card as I unlocked my bike. I LEFT IT ON THE STREET! I showed up back at the shop and started looking around frantically outside. It was nowhere! Someone probably found it and was soo stoked cause I was carring a good amount that day. I was more bummed that I would have to replace all my cards and licens. Ken popped out and was like "Dude! Your wallet. You dropped it on the ground and I was trying to figure out a way to call you". That is how dope the people are here. I left a wallet full of cash and other items that suck to lose like your license and credit/debit cards. He could have easily taken the money and said someone turned in the wallet, but he didn't because he is a legit person. KEN IS SERIOUSLY THE MAN. Go get tattooed by him and then tip him. Not only is he a great artist, he is a genuine person. I will definitely be getting some more work done by Ken at Frisco Tattoo. read more
