    coi fish tattoo
    Michelle A.

    Matt and Pauly are considered my family. I've worked across the street from them for about 4 years. Amazing Guys , hilarious and down to earth. I've considered them as the same as a therapy session. 85% of my Tats are from Pauly and 15% are from Matt. If you want to get tatted and are looking for a vibe and lots of love go here. Love you Guyssss!. Here are some of my Tats couldn't post them all. Okieee Byeee

    Tattoo by Paul (ft. lil pup)

    Came in as a walk-in on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait besides getting my tattoo drawn up and the station ready. Paul did my tattoo, he was so much fun, easy to talk to, and did an amazing job on my new ink! It's a cute, clean little shop with such friendly people, highly recommended!

    They just don't know how to do their job... They charged me $150 for a very small tattoo that they didn't make it good 0 starts for this place just wasted of money

    I got my first tattoo with Matt and it was an overwhelmingly awesome experience. He was super professional and helped me with a design and then refining that design. He worked quickly and pretty painlessly and made the whole experience really fun. I get tons of compliments on my new tat and I've only had it a few weeks. Six stars.

    Simply wonderful. Sage was fabulous to work with! She listened to my needs and has great professional input. Her art just makes me feel some type of way. Remember to eat something before. $100 deposit to hold your appointment. There's a 7-11 next door for snacks and ATM. Metered parking but pretty easy to find. I'm so happy! It's absolutely beautiful. Hurt like heck but trooped through it like a champ. Lovelovelove

    Great spot. Studio was very clean. Matt took my concept and drew out exactly what I was wanted. He took his time (3 sessions) which I appreciated. Better and more transparent pricing than other spots, especially in SF. Well worth the trek to Oakland.

    Idea came from this Clover
    Thomas E.

    I saw this Clover on line and wanted it as a tattoo. Though being Irish I wanted it to be a Shamrock. I took a picture of the Clover and went to Premium Tattoo. I met Paul Klenk and described wanted I wanted. Paul said no problem, and let me redesign it and get your approval of the new look and we can go from there. I liked the new design and after some time (Covid!) we were finally able to get this done. We sat and listened to some great music (ask Paul about Phil Lynott). It was quick and painless and the finished product came out fantastic. Thank You Paul I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back. BTW, I'm 58 years old, and ur never to young or old to get a tattoo.

    Really great service and good vibes at Premium Tattoo. The artists are talented and great communicators and the shop is super clean. I have already gotten two new tattoos since I first visited Premium Tattoo a couple months ago including this recent skull by Paul (@klenktattoos on instagram). I highly recommend this shop for anyone whether you're a first-timer or already covered in ink.

    I'm very happy with my tattoo and my tattoo artist, Matt Decker. Matt is very knowledgable and proficient at his craft. I had a very good conversation with Matt and I enjoyed listening to the full U2 album (I think it was War, but perhaps it was October). Thanks again Matt. I'll contact you next month for some additional tattooing.

    I got the tattoo on the right to match the one on the left, and I came in as a walk in on a Wednesday at 3:45pm. I was out by 7 with a new tattoo in a very similar style. The tattoo-ist really listened to what I wanted, and did a fantastic job incorporating the color, black and white, and imagery. Would recommend!

I was concerned with how much it might hurt or how intimidated he might be by the experience, but the person helping us put him at ease and explained every step, including the best way to care for new piercings. For any customers under 18, an original birth certificate is required and one of the birth parents (with identification) must also be present.

The day of the piercing the wait time was at least 20 min. After our appt.time. If I had to pay the meter for parking, we would definitely had to add more money & time. The front desk staff were informative & helpful when showing me all the options of earrings to choose from. As far as the service, the Accredited Piercer (Marina Muller) starts to disinfect the ear & mark the ear. There was a little confusion from Marina bc for the on-line sign up form it asks what service you want done & which ear. Marina forgot to ask & confirm w/my daughter which ear she wanted pierced. As soon as this was cleared up, the process went very smoothly. As far as the price, it was a birthday piercing special for $18 each service & my daughter decided on 2 piercings. The earrings were an additional fee. The store is well kept, neat & the customer service was good, just be attentive to the actual piercings when the credited piercer does the work.

From my first contact via Instagram and then in the shop, they were friendly, professional, enthusiastic, and patient. They made the whole experience very comfortable and natural, and any nerves I had were gone in no time. This was only my second tattoo and I find the whole experience somewhat intimidating, especially after having a judgmental and pretentious artist for my first tattoo. The time I spent at Bell & Iron was completely different, and I'd recommend this shop in a heartbeat. The owner was buzzing around during my session as well, and I could tell he was also very warm and welcoming to every customer, no matter who they are. I'm sure I'll go back to work with Sophie again in the future!

From the first consultation, Joe was super friendly, chill, and professional -- collaborating closely to make sure my designs came out just right. After a marathon 8-hour session for four pieces, his precision, artistry, coloring, and textures (which I didn't even know were possible with skin art!) completely blew me away. These were deeply personal and contemplated pieces and he did them justice. I could not be happier with what I get to showcase on my body. No regrets -- thanks, Joe, and keep up the good work!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My tattoo was pretty large for my first one, but I felt fine the entire time and Arie checked on me consistently. Applying the stencil took time, but I'm grateful for that because the placement was exactly what I wanted. We ended up going bigger day of and seeing the piece on my body with a stencil was super helpful in getting it right. I really appreciated Arie's calm demeanor & attention to detail!
