    Got my first tattoo with Tian about a week ago! My sister and I wanted fine line Chinese characters and Tian did a wonderful job communicating with us. He was so patient and very thorough! Still going through the healing process but I'm so happy with the finished product(:

    My fiancé got his first tattoo here today and he loved it so much that we are back getting him another. They are having a flash tattoo sale right now so it was an awesome experience. Everyone here is very kind and accommodating. We had Tian as our first tattoo artist and he's so funny and nice. Especially since it was our first experience with tattoos, he took his time and gave us all the aftercare information. We will update after the 2nd tat

    Went with my mom to get a small tattoo done. Jade helped us out and was very patient with all the questions we had. The place itself is clean and looks professional (much appreciated). When I save enough cash, I'll definitely be coming here for my first tattoo *Design was already decided before we came in*

    I've always wanted a tattoo but didn't find anyone in the bay area with a style that I liked. Social media is creepy and knew GH was my girl. Emailing was super easy with her assistant Max. I asked so many questions through email and Max was very responsive. I booked my December appointment WAY in advance in August. I absolutely love her smokey style and wanted a chrysanthemum. We agreed on a price and I paid a deposit through venmo. I did not get a preview of the design until my appointment. Come appointment day immediately loved the preview that she showed me on her iPad. I just had 1 minor adjustment along with making it bigger. We agreed on the price and she got things set up. The tattoo is 7.5 inches and took about 3 hours. She took at least 2 breaks that were honestly very welcomed. I have given birth to two kids and this tattoo is right up there on the pain scale. After the tattoo was done she sanitized it and then took pictures. Then, she put second skin over it and gave me aftercare instructions and balm. I don't know how I was so lucky to come across her ad. I am so happy with my tattoo and the details. Highly recommend.

    Got my first tattoo here this past weekend! I was with my bestie who has had many, and we both felt comfortable here, super clean, and the tattoo artists really made it easy to capture what we wanted, print out the design in multiple sizes to try on, even multiple of the same size to find the right spot. I'm not sure if that is standard in most shops, but it really gave me a lot of comfort with it being my first one! I had GH, and I'm going to affectionately refer to her as "God's Hand" bc it was perfectly done!

    Grant is the best!

    Grant at Modo Ink was amazing! He fit us 3 girls in and was so patient & kind the entire time. We spent about 2.5 hours at the studio laughing, giggling, and having the best time together. We were super loud (so sorry Modo and guests). We were just so excited and happy to be together, getting our silly and cute dumpling tattoo. We showed Grant what we wanted and he was so kind to work with us and show us what would work and what wouldn't work. We love tiny tiny tattoos but he explained that in doing certain designs that over time as it heals it would just turn into a huge blob. We really appreciate the heads up and advice. We had so much fun there and want to go back and get more when we all meet in LA again! Thank you!

    I was looking for a local studio and stumbled on Modo Ink on Yelp. Went to their site and browsed through various artists and their work, and Vicki's work really stuck out to me! So I reached out to her for an appointment and was scheduled within a couple of weeks. I emailed her some pictures of what I wanted. When I got to my appointment, she showed me some designs she made and I picked the one I preferred in the size I wanted and off we went! I was expecting it to hurt but it didn't! Microblading hurt significantly more! She was attentive, meticulous, and friendly! I love my tattoo and would definitely go back to Vicki if I want more in the future!

    My friends and I all came in as walk-ins. They were all so accommodating, timely, and kind! I was not afraid of asking them for new sizing or placements because they made me feel so comfortable. The place is so clean and they wipe EVERYTHING. They even sent me high quality pictures of my tattoo so I can show it off. The lining for my tattoo is also so sleek, despite being fine line and so small. All in all, I highly recommend. The staff was nice from start to end, tattoos turned out great, and the place is so clean and comfortable.

    My requested tattoo was captured exactly on point.

    I'm 48 years old and got my first tattoo at Gee Ink. The artist there made it fast, painless and a lot less scary than I thought it would be. He did an incredible job. I love it! Thank you!

    Truly the most fun experience with dot! Super patient and communicative in every aspect! Would work with him again!

    Vicki was so kind and patient when picking out tattoos Her hand control is amazing, tattoo came out perfect! I would definitely recommend this place!

    My appointment was on Saturday, October 8th. "Tomorrow" should read "today."

    I had a really stressful experience due to weird communication and unfortunate events. I contacted Grant late July with a photo of a tattoo he did that I loved. I told him I wanted something very similar to that. With his guidance, I communicated my ideas and his responses were positive. Mid-September, I sent my deposit for an early October appointment. I told him I'd be flying down from San Francisco just for the tattoo, and that I was excited because I loved his other design so much. Up to 5 days before the appointment, I hadn't heard from Grant, so I went ahead and drew on my arm essentially what I wanted in terms of placement and "brushstroke" size and flow, and sent it to him. He said that it was very useful, and that he would get started on the design in the next couple days. 2 days before my appt, I check in. He says he'll get started on the design that night. I purchase my flight and rental car. The day of, I hadn't heard from him. I flew down, rented a car, and with two hours to spare, emailed him to offer to bring him boba. He responds that he hasn't designed the tattoo, and asks to cancel and reschedule. I call the studio and ask if I can get a refund on my deposit. They tell me to hold, and come back to tell me that he didn't mean to cancel, he just wanted to push back the start time an hour I arrive at the new start time. Wait around for half an hour. Grant arrives extremely apologetic, and kindly asks me to look at the ideas he has for my tattoo. They're all bits and pieces that are pretty but that I'm not crazy about, and I do my best to collage something I like together while switching from English to my average Chinese when he doesn't seem to understand what I'm saying. I tell him that I wouldn't mind using similar themes and designs as the inspiration tattoo; he says that tattoo artists don't like doing this, so I drop it. The designing takes a few hours, and the ink work is started but left unfinished so I can catch my return flight. I really wish I hadn't been put in a position where the design and ink work had to be rushed with last minute and shaky communication. I'd invested so much time and money in this experience and tried to stay positive, but came out of it feeling pressured and let down. I don't know how to explain how difficult and stressful I felt the communication was, and I don't have the financial or schedule flexibility to go back anytime soon. Grant graciously offered free touch-ups without a time limit, and maybe even gave me a discount given my experience, but I won't be going back. I am again expressing that my tattoo is pretty to reiterate that Grant is talented, but the tattoo is now a constant reminder of a really stressful and disappointing experience.

I wanted a tiger paired with specific florals (forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and narcissus paperwhites) all kept above the elbow. Angie brought my vision to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. The process at Baron Art was seamless. After submitting a consultation form, I heard back within 1-2 days and coordinated everything with Cat (Angie's assistant) via email. Cat was wonderful, detailed, and quick to reply. On the day of my appointment, I received digital aftercare instructions after I checked in. Before starting, Angie was incredibly patient. She adjusted the tiger's scale on her iPad to match my arm and printed several stencils to ensure the size and placement was just right. She then freehanded the florals, precisely incorporating the negative space I requested to keep the design from feeling too heavy. Angie is incredibly talented and has a light touch. Even the pain in the inner bicep area was manageable. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session, and the result was perfect. This piece means so much to me and is very close to my heart, as it's a memorial for my mom who passed away recently. The forget-me-nots were her favorite flowers, and the narcissus paperwhites and honeysuckle are our birth flowers. The tiger was the first stuffed animal that my parents bought for me when we first immigrated to the US. It was my "guardian" throughout my childhood. Angie, thank you very much for your kindness and for creating such a meaningful, beautiful piece. This was the first of two sessions, and I already love it so much--I can't wait to see how it turns out! Some notes: - Snacks: I brought along Gatorade and was sipping on it before and during my session. I ate some candy and had a protein bar during the breaks too. It helped so much to keep my blood sugar up. - Vibe: So relaxing! The studio was spacious, and they were playing a throwback playlist from like the 2010s lol. I was vibing out and didn't even use the earbuds I brought! Everyone was so friendly too! Throughout the session, I noticed a couple artists stopped by to admire Angie's work as she was doing the tiger :) - Parking: parking in this location wasn't actually too bad. There's a structure about a 5 min walk away from the studio down the street. Just turn right into the little street where the Arrow Lodge Brewing is at. Go in a little bit, and it's on the left hand side. If you reach S Santa Fe Ave, you've gone too far!
