You know how people always say they "have a guy" for things? I've always wanted that... and then I…read morerealized I do. Tony is my tattoo guy. I've gone to him time and time again for a majority of my work and he can't miss. This last visit in April was extra special because my daughter asked if we could get matching tattoos for her 18th birthday. It was her first and what's this mama going to say, no? Couldn't be me. There was no one else I would trust with that process, especially when it comes to something so precious. We sent Tony our inspo pics and he absolutely nailed it, plus added his own feedback in all the right ways. The detail? On point. The linework? CLEAN AF. Plus, everything healed beautifully. And the compliments? Nonstop. Everywhere we go, someone's asking who did them, and we're more than happy to show them off. Tony and the team also just moved into a new location and the vibe is immaculate. Super laid back, really comfortable, and not intimidating at all. It actually feels like a place you'd want to hang out. No ego, no weird energy, just solid work from someone who clearly cares. Grateful to have found him... because now he's not getting rid of me anytime soon :)

The studio vibe is super chill, and Shari did an incredible job making me feel totally comfortable from start to finish. She checked in throughout the session to make sure I was doing okay and asked if I needed any breaks, which I really appreciated. I also got to meet Kristina who was just as chill and welcoming. We all were chatting the whole time, and it honestly felt like hanging out with friends. Shari is incredibly talented, and the team at Kapwa Ink creates such a warm, relaxed environment. Great music, great energy, amazing artists. I seriously can't wait to come back for my next tattoo!

They did all my ear piercings quickly, professionally, and at an affordable price! The piercer was…read moresuper professional, gentle, and gave me her recommendations for the healing process. The ambiance was also really nice- they have this vintage, saloon style waiting room, and my piercer in particular had a bunch of cool art in her room. For a pair of ear piercings they charge $50, for a piercing on one ear, they charge $40. The jewelry is included for free with the piercing too. Those prices are a STEAL!! I definitely recommended this little gem of a place! Btw: did I mention that they also offer a selection of jewelry as well, and that's also great quality and super affordable too?

This was my favorite tattoo experience ever! For my sixth tattoo, I wanted a type of algae, but…read morewith amazing color, and most of the artists I found did black and grey algae. I expanded my search to the Bay Area (I live in Monterey), and found Micah, and am so so so glad I did. From the beginning, Micah makes you feel comfortable, and is transparent with how they work, what they charge and it makes for a great collaborative experience. They have a cute, comfy studio, and really take the time to listen to you, figure out what's important, and make an amazing piece of permanent art. After 2 separate 2.5 hour sessions, I came out with an amazing bull kelp tattoo, with coloration that was both true to life, and out of this world. I cried after I saw the finished piece, and cried again when I removed the bandage that night. It's an amazing piece of art, and Micah is both an amazing artist and human being. It was worth every hour of traffic, and every dollar I spent, and I'm already brainstorming for the next one.

If you're serious about and open to carrying Micah's art, and embracing it as your own, get in contact with this amazing human! Their styles and skills are diverse - I'm fortunate to have natural content with beautiful colors shaped across my body by micah. Others have intricate lace, abstract pieces, and so much more. As a queer and trauma'd human and body, I have felt honored by Micah's contact and thoughtfulness. Micah's conversational style and dynamic listening has helped me move through pain, while they also reduce the physical pain proactively.
