I had a total of six sessions with Monica and over those six sessions she was amazing. Super understanding and accommodating with each session. For those wondering, she provides advice on what to do and not do before the appointment, checks up on your during the session and contacts you a few days after the session to make sure the tattoo is healing properly. Also, she has a light hand and works efficiently. Extremely happy with my tattoo and my experience with her. I gave her a rough idea, told her "you have creative liberties" and she ran with it. She gave me a good anime sleeve design that blow my expectations. Monica has become my go to artist.

My first experience with this shop, my family experienced a loss and wanted to get a tribute tattoo made for a cousin. It was a brand design with my cousin's initials inside. We asked if they could fit 5 of us in and they were more then accommodating. David made us feel comfortable and was a good guy to talk to. So good, most of returned to get more! I returned to get a karaoke mic on my arm that had the wire plug into my wrist. He got what I wanted down! Consistently great experience. This place is conveniently located near downtown Vallejo off Sonoma Blvd. Parking is no problem with street parking in front and parking lot across the street. It's good to know that there are great artists locally. I see that David specializes in portraits. So if you are looking for an artist that can do portraits well, David is your man! There are a couple artists that reside here and their artwork, from what I have seen, is pretty awesome! Hopefully, you're Yelping adventures lead you to this awesome tattoo spot in Vallejo. Even if you are not close by, I would travel for their talents. Definitely recommending and returning for more. Stay hungry adventurous and happy Yelping!

He delivered! We had a great conversation throughout the session, super chill vibes and a funny dude. Just a chill person to be around. My experience with odie versus other shops I've been to, he has a light touch or maybe it's just the area of skin I got inked, but 75% of my tattoo was a 3/10 pain and highest reaching 7/10. There's parking in the back so your car doesn't get bapped cuz you're near downtown vallejo. Side note he is very well priced and works fast and accommodates. Make sure you have what you want in mind and with his experience of 10+ years he will work with you very well. 10/10 I'll come again if I need work done other than tribal. Check out his instagram page for ideas on how he works and his art. Ig: Sleoin_tattoo

Kai, also known as Cobra Kai, is a new artist that I so happened to run into while looking for a…read moreshop to do to my tribute tattoo. I've spent a while lotta' time in Vallejo with other artists and the style that I was looking for was the American Tradition slash Sailor Jerry type vibe - in which my previous artists couldn't follow through on since their styles were a little different. Fortunately Kai was able to fit me on a Monday and our appointment was set up for 2 o'clock on a ungodly hot day. The shop is in an older home converted into the tattoo parlor with no A/C so your only options are fans and drinking cold waters. Thus, in the future I will only be planning on getting tatts from Kai on cooler days. Unlike my previous artists, she was (obviously) female and we connected really well so my three hour session went by pretty quick with a few smoke breaks. She was awesome and honestly, this chick has a good head on her shoulders... from what I can tell. We talked about her art work, her travels, her personal life from all over the country, and she showed me some of her drawings that she was working on. Her work was amazing. Perfect and better than I could of imagined. It's one thing to see the stencil and another to see the finished piece on yourself. Surprisingly she admitted that American Traditional was something she wanted to work more on but with the work she did on me - she definitely delivered. The red was brilliant and the shading was amazing. The tattoo is healing and the red is still vibrant. For sure I'll be going back to her in the future since I plan on adding more to my piece. More of her work is on FB Ink by Cobra Kai. Thank you Kai!

I genuinely cannot say enough amazing things about Jose. He is not just a tattoo artist, he is a true ARTIST, and his talent is on an entirely different level. I've trusted Jose with multiple pieces, including hours and hours of work on my horror leg sleeve, and every single time he somehow manages to exceed my expectations. His attention to detail, creativity, precision, and ability to take an idea and turn it into something even better than I imagined is incredible. You can tell how much pride he takes in his work, and it shows in every single detail. But what makes Jose stand out even more is the person behind the artwork. Sitting in a tattoo chair for 8-10+ hours is no joke, and he goes above and beyond to make sure I am comfortable the entire time. He creates such a relaxed, welcoming environment that even during those long sessions, I feel completely at ease. There is never any pressure, awkwardness, or feeling like you're just another appointment on the books. He genuinely cares about his clients, their comfort, and the experience they have in his chair. When you're putting permanent artwork on your body, you want someone who listens to you, understands your vision, takes pride in their craft, and makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the process. Jose is ALL of that and more. Every time I leave his chair, I'm already excited for the next session. My horror sleeve has become something I'm unbelievably proud to wear, and so much of that is because of the time, talent, creativity, and heart Jose puts into his work. If you're looking for an artist who is insanely talented, professional, patient, creative, and genuinely cares about giving you an amazing experience from beginning to end, GO SEE JOSE. I will recommend him over and over again without hesitation. Five stars honestly don't feel like enough. read more

The whole studio is set up creatively and each artist has their own decorative station. My most recent visit was with Justin, or @fatttattz on instagram. Justin was very patient, detailed, and thorough. After drawing out the original stencil design, he suggested to switch and flip the butterflies so it wouldn't be so "top heavy", and also advised that we should do a stipple effect on the vines so that it gave a more feminie look and that over time, the ink wouldn't look so harsh. He even decided to shade the butterflies for more definition and to blend the piece together. I am SO GLAD he gave his professional input and that I listened to him!!! I think it came out gorgeous and Im more than happy with how it all came out. He made sure to check in through out the whole process and he was hilarious!! I highly recommend JUSTIN !!!
