Peony tattoo

The shop is clean and spacious but has plenty of decoration and fun art to look at. It's a super laid back vibe and the artists are all really talented. My tattoo is beautiful and I will definitely be going back the next time I'm in Northern California.

Will Veile: Will has been my artist for over 5 years and I'm never disappointed in his work. I follow him to every shop he goes to and have zero intentions of seeing anyone else. Even when I lived in the bay area, and the commute in traffic took 4+ hours to get to him... I still would only see him and the drive was 100% worth it. I have even gotten into the habit of just forgetting to look at what he has drawn on me before he starts tattooing... though I'm sure that sounds effing crazy, that's just the level of trust I have with him. I know that he will turn my basic concept into something amazing! I refer all of my friends and family to him and every single one of them has left with a new and amazing piece of art on their body and they always go back for more. My little sister got her first tattoo by Will and now all of her tattoos are done by him (back piece, full arm sleeve, flash pieces, etc). At this point he has completely sleeved my right arm (color), sleeved my left leg from the knee down (color; was featured on the Chive for being amazing and won awards at tattoo conventions), large sternum/under boob piece (color), my right kneecap (color), my right foot (primarily black and grey with some color pop), a fun flash piece on my right thigh (color), script on the back of my neck (black), and we are in the process of sleeving my left arm (color). After we finish my left arm I have plenty of other pieces I want and Will is the artist I will be going to. The shop is chill af, it's super easy to get to, and the location is cozy and convenient. Everyone who works at Crimson Needle is way awesome and it just makes the whole experience incredible. He's amazing at what he does and is just a really awesome guy in general. If you're looking for some new ink.. go see Will.

Chris did an excellent job. I came to sacred owl after he moved to this shop. He exceeded my expectations to say the least. I couldnt have trusted a more professional and talented artist for my chest piece. It was my first tattoo and it turned out fantastic! I get compliments all the time, awesome... I've since had other tattoos done but his method and style of tattooing was the most effective and his artwork has healed the best so far. Thanks Chris! The owner was awesome too, real great dude!

Hidden Mickey Anniversary tattoo!

Great experience! Brandon is great at his craft. Got done yesterday and I've already received a lot of compliments!

This was my first tattoo, and I didn't fully know what I wanted going in. I knew I wanted my kitty…read moreon my hip, but I had no idea about the pose, size, or overall design. Danny was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding, and helped me figure out exactly what would work best. We scheduled the session shortly after, and the entire experience was amazing. I felt very comfortable, welcomed, and at ease the whole time. I highly recommend this place--the prices are great, the level of experience is outstanding, and they truly go above and beyond to accommodate and help their clients.

Looks like another 5 star review for Lighthouse Tattoo in the books for me!…read more After the hospital has to take out so my jewelery, I had a hard time putting my nose ring back in. I remembered that Tyler told me that Selena is the piercer that works here. So as I headed out for the day, I stopped in to say hi to everyone. I got to say hello to Tyler and officially meet Selena! Everyone was kicked back and it was so chill in there. Great vibe! I wanted to give them a little business, so I purchased a new nose ring and tongue ring. She pulled out the jewelery and after selecting what I wanted, she sanitized the chair and jewelry. Brought me in and started pushing the jewelery into my nose. After being out for a few days, it needed to be pierced again. OUCH! Selena had to grab the piercing needle (I forgot the word she used for it) and push it through. Then, she had to push the jewelery through. It was rougher this time because I had scar tissue in there. She also put my tongue ring in for me and made sure it was on there nice and tight. She took good care of me, spayed my nose with saline to keep the area clean. I really love the vibe when I walk in here. Am I weird or is there something soothing about the sound of the tattoo gun working? I'm looking forward to when I am ready to get my next piercing because I will be coming back here to see Selena!

I've lived 5 minutes from this place for nearly 10 years and wish I had started way sooner - I…read moredon't know why I hesitated for so long - just pure laziness. Which is so silly because making the appointment is so easy through their website. I've now had 5 total piercings at DV8 over the course of the last year and a half on my ear curation journey. All are healing well and I'm very happy with the placements.  Keep in mind the jewelry is not included in the piercing fee, and it can add up quick if you're a gold lover. But if you're getting subsequent piercings, they allow you to bring in any previous jewelry that you've already purchased from them to use for future piercings. Just keep in mind that your appointment may take a little longer because they will need to sanitize the jewelry. I'm most impressed with the detailed aftercare instructions. I was horrified by the lack of instructions my sister received after being pierced at a VERY POPULAR piercing place in Berkely on Telegraph Ave (you know the place). She came with me to one of my appointments at DV8 and said, wow, they didn't tell me ANY of that stuff at the other place. And I was like, I KNOW - that's why I only come to DV8. They are also certified by the Association of Professional Piercers, so I feel confident that everything they do is safe and sanitary.

Friendly staff and clean environment. However, pricing on their website was very deceptive. I got…read moremy earlobes pierced, which was listed as $25. This turned out to be $25 per ear, which does NOT include the price of jewelry. I picked some of the simplest studs they offered, and those plus the backing came out to an additional $86. We were told they would not use outside jewelry- which is fine, but with prices like these? Ouch!! Overall quality was acceptable, but $136 before tax and tip is much too high for a basic piercing.

Kevin Phillips. I can't recommend him enough…read more He did such a great job doing a cover up/scar work! I was a self-farmer for many years. My arm was pretty bad. He not only took his time but made me feel so comfortable in the chair. Had a very nice time talking and getting to know each other. He might be young, but he's very talented. He's started my sleeve and I hope he finishes it! Seriously, an amazing artist. Thank you so much, Kevin! Can't wait for the next appointment!

2008-2011 Watching a young friend of the family starting his journey of receiving his body art…read moreafter graduating (I had none on my upper body at 48 and been dreaming/desiring a look since five years old) the artist had a recognizable style like nothing I had seen!! Hearing the friend tell me of his experience with the man who was doing the work I had questioned him on sanitation as well which was what up to state board procedures, made my appointment with Josh for my first piece (below). He had working out of his apartment on the dining area. It was impeccably clean. Table, chair, work bench were covered, the living room kitchen, you could see that it had been maintained, no build up, clutter and it was comfortable and welcoming. We sat down with a photograph of my kitty as well as him pulling up on his laptop a picture of "Toothless" from the animated movie "How to train your Dragon" Which was the exact personality of my fully grown 7 pound cat which was groomed regularly in a lion's cut. Only difference besides one being a cat & other a dragon were the eye colors. Josh had heard what I had in mind to mix the tattoo to be half dragon and half cat. In no time he was drawing out what I had in mind. He is so encouraging and receptive with suggestions. Change this? What about that in no time he had drawn my vision and here we go!! Lifting the cover off his products, he began prepping the arm as well as systematically keeping the entire work area clean at all times. In under an hour I had exactly what was on the original sketch using only black ink with the exception of her yellow eyes and pink tongue always peeking out of her mouth as if she was taunting whom ever she was observing. Josh knew his business! I could not have been more pleased not only with the end results but, with the speed, accuracy and minimal pain that I felt for a short time frame with the size that covered my entire shoulder. He was a great conversationalist and we just clicked! Such a nice young man! Polite, funny, smart and talented! I kept coming back with my ideas and he would always Hear what I wanted then bring it to life! I wanted an end product that didn't look like random work but, fluid design that was meant to be one piece/scheme after all I had waited nearly 50 years for this! Both arms, back and back of neck. The last few times he had opened his shop which is what he dreamed of! Just a few years after my "portrait " my familia passed away. A day doesn't pass without my seeing her, remembering the great times, conversations, memories with Josh:) He definitely goes the extra step for his clients!! Definitely would recommend him for whatever it is you need!! I'm so happy for his successes!!

My…read morewife & I came in to get a consultation, not really even thinking we'd get tattoos that day! But the staff were really friendly and helpful. After a few minutes Jamie came out to meet us and I could already tell from the beginning, this was THE guy. After getting to know eachother a bit, he heard our ideas about what we both wanted, the price range, & about how long it would take. After agreeing to everything we waited in the lobby for about less than an hour before he was able to see us. During that time we met a lovely individual Aaron who was an absolute sweet heart, also waiting to get another tattoo. She pretty much made most of the waiting time fly by with the amazing stories of traveling down to Costa Rica and Cajun. Just the whole vibe of the place sets up to be a core memory for me. The whole tattoo took about 3 hours for my forearm and about an hour for my wife's tattoos. The whole time Jamie told us about the many amazing people hes met over the 16 years hes been tattooing and got to know us during that time. We really appreciate this experience and the hospitality and even helping up out at the end with the price. Thank you so much and we will be back to add Groau at the bottom to complete the list for me!

I would give five stars but as you can see in the picture, parts of the initials were a little more heavy-handed which made the line thicker than in other spots, it would be an easy fix if I were to go back in to get it touched up, I just haven't done it yet. Otherwise, they are clean and professional, and pretty friendly which I appreciated. I recommend.
