The best place to go for something that will last a lifetime! Alycia is amazing. I get a few complements on my piece weekly from strangers. It's exactly what I wanted and she nailed the real life pic of my pup on the outside of my forearm (not pictured). Shop rate is $200 / hr but well worth it! Book well in advance, they get busy! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. read more

Leonardi Tattoo - Custom family tattoo after one sitting. - Tattoo Near Me - Sacramento, California

See all

I got my first every tattoo at Leonardi Tattoo last week and was very impressed with the cleanliness, the professionalism, and my overall experience. Deerstine was totally prepared when I arrived. She took the font that I sent her for my two word tattoo and enlarged the letter 'e', which I was going to mention to her but she knew it was not right and adjusted it. Deerstine took her time and allowed me to agree on exact placement. Her work was excellent. I had a wonderful experience. I'll be back again after I save up for my next tattoo! read more

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for Jen and her team. I reached out to Jen after my best friend experienced the sudden and tragic death of her young daughter ant Christmastime. Jen took all the information about the memorial tattoos our group wanted to get and was able to get us in quickly even with the holidays. This was so therapeutic for us in the horrible time we were dealing with. Jen took so much care dealing with our grief and recognized our decision fatigue. I appreciated that she noticed when we needed her to take charge and make the decisions for us. We all love the memorial tattoos and everyone who has seen them has commented on how beautiful and perfect they are. I won't post the pictures out of respect for my friend. Thank you so much to Jen! read more

This review is solely based off of communication. I'm sure the work done here is legit. I was really looking forward to getting work done here but after the first email Jennifer and her team have gone cold. After sending multiple follow up emails still haven't received anything. Hopefully one day I can get work done here but as of now I'll be looking elsewhere do to the poor communication skills. read more

What started as a consultation has turned in to 2 amazing sleeves, both done by the incredibly talented Jennifer Leonardi. I was interested in a black and grey piece around some old tattoos. Jennifer recommended to cover it instead and you would never know something else was there. I gave her lots of ideas I had and she narrowed it down to this beautiful skull and roses sleeve. My other arm had some older tattoos in color and again Jennifer delivered. This time she worked around the old tattoos and added color to the old areas. The result is this unbelievable color sleeve!!!! Every week somebody is giving me positive feedback and wants to know who the artist is. The shop is very clean and the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. I highly recommend Leonardi Tattoo for your tattoo needs and all artist working there are true professionals!!! Ps: Jennifer has the "lightest" hand and the healing was very fast which I believe was the result of her experience..... I have added 2 more pieces since my first review and the black/grey script tattoos that Jennifer tattooed on my chest are killer!!! I will back for more for for sure Started a back piece and I'm super stoked about the progress. Pix to be posted when it's finished. All done a few month go and couldn't be happier with the result..... read more

Leonardi Tattoo - Finished Backpiece (for now) by Jennifer.... - Tattoo Near Me - Sacramento, California

Leonardi tattoo is by far one of the finest establishments I've ever done business with. From the very clean shop to the laid-back atmosphere created by Jenn and her assistant Lindsey, it's a great place to get some "ink" work done! I will be going back again and recommending Leonardi tattoo to anybody who asks me where to get one. Thanks to Jenn I've got her beautiful artwork on my arm and I'm very proud of it! read more

I had a great experience at Leonardi Tattoo. The atmosphere is clean and inviting and my tattoo artist (Jennifer) was lovely to work with. My ink is only 24 hours old, but it looks beautiful and is just what I wanted (multi colored, photo realistic gym stones.) This was a terrific, very professional experience, and as an added bonus it's a female owned and operated business! read more

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars by JamiV 06/30/2010 I have known Alycia Harr for 14 years and have been tattooed by her several times. Three times while operating apprenticing under Bill Liberty, once at Modern Body, and once again recently for a large multi-appointment piece at Leonardi Tattoo. Not only is the art amazing but the shop is clean, open, calm, and quiet. This may not be a plus for all but it is for me. I cannot say enough good things about the shop or the artists. read more

Leonardi Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Sacramento, California

Where do I begin? Choosing someone to create an image for you that's so personal and will last a long time, something that literally becomes part of your body is not easy. The moment I met Jenn I was at ease. She's patient, perceptive, kind and soooooo talented. Not only did she do an amazing job, she put me at ease. I doubt I'll get another tattoo, but Jenn is the person I'd choose if I change my mind. She's really special. read more

Leonardi Tattoo - My Giant Sequoia Tree! - Tattoo Near Me - Sacramento, California

This review is for Alycia Harr specifically, as I have not been tattooed by anyone else there, and cannot speak to their style, talent, etc. Alycia is amazing. She's been tattooing me and several of my friends and acquaintances for years. Her work style and art, while maybe not for everyone, is absolutely first class. Her art is unique and has no comparison anywhere, her color shading is unparalleled. She's also a deeply empathetic individual- she's good at reading what you're looking for in your custom piece and how much you can take off your body language. She is difficult to schedule with, but she does her schedule the way she does for a good reason. I've seen plenty of people wince when I've told them her hourly rate (which is perfectly reasonable for her exceptional quality) followed by a story of their buddy doing it for free/cheap/whatever. Then I see the piece. Ouch. There are things you do not bargain shop for, and top among those is tattoos and cosmetic surgery. You get what you pay for, and Alycia is worth every penny of the several thousand dollars I've handed her over the years. I will continue to be her client until she retires or one of us dies, which ever comes first. read more

I am pretty sure this is the nicest tattoo business in Sacramento. This is the second time I have been to Leonardi Tattoo and I will be back again when I want more tattoos. Jennifer does fantastic work and she is also a really nice person. Looking at her work portfolio you can see she has done some large impressive work, but she made me feel right at home with my small (somewhat corny) tattoos... she is a true professional. Thank you again for the great tattoos, Jennifer! read more

Jennifer scheduled me in for 5:30 in the evening. When I arrived, there was no one still being inked. She was ready with everything for me, had her attention fully for my piece next, and no existing customer was left feeling rushed, like one would feel while in a chair of a Super Cut. Do you think it was just a coincidence that she was free at 5:30? She could only have planned it that way, my friend. Ample time for her previous customer, for herself, and for her next customer - me. I always look for small details like these. Life isn't just chanced happenings. A lot of times thoughts ran behind. Jennifer is thoughtful, and for adding a piece that lives as long as you do, this is comforting, assuring. Tattoo is all about details. Jennifer has all the details handled and covered. That's what your tattoo needs; not just your skin, but her thoughtfulness and skilled rendering . That's the way it started, for me to get my second tattoo, after 25 years of happy existence with just one. And she was perfectly accommodating, first letting me decide where it goes, then letting me try the draft out at a slightly different location, until I'm sure of it. The piece took more than two hours to complete. But she was friendly and dedicated throughout. It's a very demanding job, I imagine; everyone expects you to deliver perfection. Nothing less. And for my tattoo, she delivers. At the 9th and 10th hour of her work day, she inks perfection. Jennifer is wonderfully skilled. The place is wonderfully clean. My tattoo came out exactly how I pictured it and exactly how it looked as drafted. The whole experience was simply outstanding. Leonardi Tattoo. Lots of people get inked in Sacramento. I could tell not all of them chose Jennifer's place and craft. For that reason alone, you should contact her and schedule an appointment, if you already came to Yelp for assistance. I hope my review will steer you her way, as the good reason will be there with you every step of the way, just like how I'm wearing mine. read more

May I just say this is LONG overdue. I talk about Alycia at least twice a week. This is by fay the most comfortable and enjoyable tattoo business I have ever had the luxury to inhabit - however brief. I have an inner bicep piece and almost a full 3/4 sleeve done by the most talented Alycia Harr, so I may be a bit biased. However if you've ever seen her work.... It speaks for itself. Nay it yells. I am constantly stopped by people asking who did my work. I excitedly tell them about "my" Alycia. She's so talented BUT modest, humble, calm, and yet a true perfectionist when it comes to her craft. My dad found Alycia, when we had decided to get tattoo's together, as I was his only tattooed child. He scoured Northern California for an artist that would meet his needs. He found that artist in Alycia. I agreed with him whole heartedly.HIT s process took two years. This review isn't just for Alycia. Jen is a phenomenal artist. As I have had a sleeve completed at this location I can say I have seen Jen's work first hand and she is first rate talent JUST like Ms. Harr. These two ladies along with their apprentice, Josh, provide the most relaxing tattoo experience I could have ever hoped for. This is not your typical shop. These artist work with return clients, and are sought after with waiting lists! If you happen to get in with either, consider yourself LUCKY, and be patient - it is so worth it. If you want a fly by night tattoo - that a handful of people could have the exact same thing in your city? This might not be the shop for you. JUst saying. Not that they are rude! Far be it! But - they tend to be booked. Call ahead, make an appointment. If either of them tattoo you, it's the closest thing to a guarantee that it will be your most favorite piece you have. I am not just a customer, I consider myself lucky. I truly think there is no better choice in Sacramento. read more

I would highly recommend Leonardi Tattoo. Jennifer was very welcoming and helpful. I had an idea of what I wanted, but struggled explaining it. She fully understood and sketched out exactly what I was looking for. The shop is very clean, and has a warm welcome feel. I have been to a few other shops and left feeling intimidated. Leonardi Tattoo is the real deal. Jennifers attention to detail is amazing. Everywhere I go, I get compliments on the work she has done, and I am happy to recommend Jennifer to anyone! read more

I am so happy with this tattoo that I had done by Jen! I get compliments on the tattoo at least twice a week. Jen is very sweet and talented. As far as I'm concerned, I would never go anywhere else for a tattoo. read more

I just had my tattoo done today by Josh and he was just fantastic! My previous experience with tattoo artists wasn't too grand so I was a bit nervous about finding someone who was meticulous enough to be able to produce something I was proud to have on my body. My brother and Josh have known each other for awhile so my brother had suggested I go to him. I said sure just to please my brother... When I was researching tigers for the style of tiger I wanted, there were A LOT of just awful tattoos of tigers. Especially in the faces. When Josh sent me what he had drawn up for me, at that moment I was in love with the tiger. He was exactly what I wanted and I was so happy that Josh had actually listened to me when I told him what I wanted. Besides the tattoo aspect, Josh is really personable and the shop was extremely clean and spacious. Nowadays I find a lot of tattoo shops to be crowded, small, untidy and its just a turnoff. Leonardi Tattoo and Josh were just amazing tho :) Obviously, I HIGHLY recommended going here! read more

If you are looking for a place to get your next piece of tattoo art done, look no further than Leonardi Tattoo. Jennifer is the best artist I have ever had the pleasure of getting a tattoo from. The shop is clean and the artists are knowledgeable and talented. I live in Rocklin, CA and have many tattoo shops in my area to choose from, but there is no place I would rather go that to Leonardi Tattoo. I have had four pieces done so far and will continue to get all my future tattoo work done by Jennifer. Her artistic vision for the work you are getting done is fantastic. Jennifer has the most steady hand. I always feel comfortable when I go in and that is what makes coming back for more work a very easy decision. My last piece of art is absolutely AMAZING. I have had a vision of getting a Nightmare Before Christmas sleeve on my arm for a long time. When I contacted Jennifer regarding what I had in mind, she was eager to help my vision turn into a reality. I gave Jennifer the pictures of what I wanted and she turned it into the most amazing thing I have ever seen. I have never been stopped by so many people for the tattoos that I have on me. That all changed once we completed the first part of my arm. The colors are amazing and the detail on each individual character is what makes this stand out. I have had people come up to me randomly to take pictures and ask where I got the work done. If you want the same for you, then I recommend asking for Jennifer at Leonardi Tattoo. I will be going back to add more work to the already existing piece on my arm and I can't wait to get back into that tattoo chair. Thank you Jennifer for all the work you have done!! read more

I was tattooed today it looks great, thank you Jennifer! You made me feel comfortable and I will defiantly be back again

The best experience ever I actually wasn't going to do my tattoo and then I changed my mind and I'm so glad that I did and I've gotten so many compliments on it and I would absolutely come here again. read more

I just got a tattoo done by Jennifer and she did a wonderful job! I came to her with a general idea of what I wanted with only a few pictures of the "idea" to go off of and yet she was able to create a wonderful piece that was exactly what I wanted. Jennifer is super friendly, easy to talk to, and an incredible skilled artist. The shop is kept very clean too which is a plus. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tattoo! read more

I went to Leonardi Tattoo after looking for an artist for quite some time. I heard a lot of great things about Jennifer (and I haven't known a Jennifer I didn't like). Jennifer helped me figure out how to put all of my ideas into one cohesive piece. She listened to everything I wanted and it turned out beautiful. I love that I get to look at this every day. This is a wonderfly decorated and relaxed place. I will be back. read more

I got my first tattoo for my 55th birthday and until my first consultation I had never stepped foot inside a tattoo shop. I had absolutely no idea what to expect and found Jenn through YELP and based on what I read I made the internal commitment to get a long wanted tattoo. Jenn made the evening very easy, her shop is clean and well decorated. Jenn answered all of my questions and gave expert advice. she is an artist and more importantly she listened to my ideas, and was able to create something very special with a little bit of whimsy that completely captured my family as well as my story. I would highly recommend Jenn - bottom line it was an epic experience as well as the best gift I have ever given myself and I appreciated the care and kindness as well as her patience. read more

I've been looking for such quality for years! Jennifer is not only a great artist, she is also super professional, competent and friendly. A session with her reminded me why I love tattooing and tattoo culture. She facelifted a tattoo I had done by a professional in NYC when I was in my 20' - it looks better than when it was made. Definitely recommending. read more

Jennifer is so very talented! She listened to what I wanted & patiently put up with my first time tattoo jitters. She was open & honest about what would work best long term & I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out! It's perfect! read more

Alycia Harr is the most talented artist i have come across. She listens to what you want, is professional, organized and is just in a whole category on her own. The way she lays down ink is incredible! Its like a painting on your skin rather than a tattoo. She has a system where she takes appointments every few months so there is a wait but let me tell you she is THAT GOOD! Look no further ...Alycia is your girl! read more

Josh Turpin is by far my favorite tattoo artist!!! The reason I believe in him soo much is because when I was looking for an artist who can help me create the vision I had for the tattoo I was looking for he not only listened to me but he put a piece together that I couldn't even imagine myself. He is very personable, friendly and has a passion for detail. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I never met a tattoo artist that payed so much attention to detail as he does. Plus, the shop is clean and comfortable to get work done. Thanks Josh for doing such a great job!!! I will always refer everyone to him cause he's worth it!!! I Highly Recommend Him! read more

As far as I could see this shop was horrible. Nobody greets customers as they come in or asks questions to see how they can be helped or directed. Their art books were also full of crappy flash instead of custom art or ink they have done. Overall, I'd avoid this shop. read more

I recently got my first tattoo from Alycia! She's a fantastic artist and made the experience for me very positive.

Jennifer is great! :) I contacted the shop because I was specifically looking for a women artist and I am definitely happy with the work/service we received. I called wanting to schedule an appt for me & my sis for my lil sisters 18th bday (it was a,Sunday, appointments only) At first she was unavailable so I just scheduled my appt for. Oct. 5th..well Jennifer contacted me later in the week & said she would be available Sunday afternoon to do both :) we jumped on it! Lol came in at 2 and she already had what we wanted drawn up. She was super sweet & professional. We were talkin about food while she did my sisters tat and when she finished she told us to go get some food while she preps for me...Yayy! I didn't have to get tatted on an empty tummy. Lol, anyways I love the memorial tattoo she did for my father. She recommended adding gold to the yellow to make it stand out more...I just love it & I'd totally come back & recommend my friends read more

Leonardi Tattoo - By jennifer - Tattoo Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been searching for a long time on and off for someone to fix my half sleeve tattoo. I read the reviews and decided to go in for a consult. I like that the tattoo space is open but cozy, has a nice nice vibe and good smell and clean. We ran through some ideas and then I decided I would schedule a date. Scheduling was easy, friendly reminders. She started my tattoo and I was instantly joyed on how it was turning out. She's cool to talk to and is light handed so it barely hurts at all. I would certainly recommend Leonardi's to anyone. read more
