    ADHD Awareness Tattoo
    Kerri H.

    Five stars are not enough to express my adoration and love of Sacred Tattoos! Oey and the whole gang are a bunch of INCREDIBLE artists who I have gotten multiple pieces from and I refuse to go anywhere else. Along with excellent service, these artists are excited to work their magic and are super easy going and fun to talk to! If you are looking for great prices, beautiful text or a fun piece, whatever you are hoping for these artists will provide far beyond any possible expectations!

    (I should note that I got a tattoo from this place 2 years ago) I've only got two tattoos on my body: my forearms. The first tattoo I got was a meditating astronaut I got at One Shot Tattoo in SF. Loved my tattoo!! The artist was a bit snarky and had a humor that I didn't really like, so I researched tattoo artists in the bay and liked Oey's tattoo at Sacred Tattoo. I really wanted a tattoo to live up to the meditating astronaut!! An Alien on a cross! Oey was and is a great guy, though I got there for my appointment and he said he was really in a hurry. I feel like my Alien on the Cross tattoo could've been unique or trippy, but failed to live up expectations to its counterpart tattoo on my other arm, and I get embarrassed to even show it. Oey's tattoos are nice, just the one (mine) that I really don't like.

    Love their work... What can I say? Went to Sacred Tattoo to get a small behind the ear tattoo. Nick Wallin was my artist. Nick did a GREAT job. He's very personable and understanding. I was just getting over a cold and needed to stop a few time to cough. The energy here is from wonderful beings! Everyone just seems so happy and down to earth. I'll be back in a couple of weeks for a bigger project. I've been coming to Sacred Tattoo for years now. You won't be disappointed!

    great tattoo shop definatly a must if you need work done kunga is great and oey is the owner and is great also hit them up

    The tattoo. The penny is taped by it to show scale.

    I went in today to get a cost and time for a small tattoo 1.5" square at Sacred Tattoo. I was greeted by Joel. after telling him that I wanted a butterfly to cover the 1.5" star on my chest, he said it wld cost $200 to do. (WHAT?! No Way!) He said the time wld be an hour. He saw and examined my tattoo thoroughly too. He was clearly trying to scam me bc my tattoo is very small, and the modification is not complicated. in fact it's faded so its even more easier to modify. their starting cost for whatever you get is $80 as I read on some of the current reviews on here. I estimated I wld have to spend that much to cover it. They are shady bc my tattoo is too small to be $200, not even close. Dont go to this tattoo shop unless you like wasting your money. #blm

    I paid $90 for this.

    Paid $90 for a poorly done tattoo. Uneven and scarred my skin. People are often surprised when they hear that I went to an actual tattoo shop for this, because it looks like a child did it.

    Jeery's work, still a tat to be completed. Love this guy. Killer work and cares so much about the art.
    Jessica N.

    Jeery is great. Got the first half of my tattoo done with him a little over two weeks ago. Came back in to finish today, but he wanted to wait an extra week for healing. He still showed me the rest of the piece he had drawn up. Great and honest guy. Nice work. Can't wait to finish the piece! He even touched up an old piece for me that was a little botched. I also got a tat done here two years ago from another guy who did great. And my second hole ear piercings. This place is just a good and honest spot to go to.

    Before and after rose tattoo ! saved my life old tattoo was ugly new tattoo is so beautiful! I always get compliments

    Kid piercings too! Just bring their birth certificate and your ID!
    Lempi M.

    My 7 year old daughter woke up ready to have her ears pierced today. I've had years of dithering to think what I'll do when this day artives, and ultimately decided to go the tattoo parlor route-- all empirical evidence suggests that healing time is faster, it's less painful than a gun, and the hygiene is strongly regulated. I called up the highly recommended Industrial piercing parlor in Berkeley and they were willing, told me to come with my ID and my daughter's birth certificate, to prove I was authorized to allow a body altering event. I was bummed, because we were already in Berkeley when I called, and I live near the lake in Oakland, wasn't keen on making a return trip . Then I found out they had a shop in Oakland in the Sacred Tattoo parlor. We retrieved said documentation, and my daughter was ready and very excited, but when the time came she was shaking and her teeth were chattering in spite of herself. (This is a girl who howls with fear when her teeth are cleaned). The piercing guy, Josh, a handsome young man full of tattoos and piercings, is calm and kind. He helped her settle down and get ready. He poked the first hole before my little lady knew to flinch. After the first pierce, which was sort of painful, little lady said, "I don't want to do the second. I promise I will come back tomorrow and do the other. " She shed a few tears, but Josh calmed her down, assuring her that her reaction was no less severe than some grown men. She agreed to the next piercing. Next, in my fussing, I tried to convince the piercer that his dots were uneven. He rechecked, and confidently told me they were even. I backed off. The second ear was painless compliments of adrenaline. Little lady was euphoric when it was all over. He was right. They were perfectly even. Do not force your kids to get their ears pierced, but if you let them choose, grab your documents and go here. This was a great experience, and we'll never forget it.

    10g septum done by Hydi
    Anthony C.

    A couple months back, Hydi pierced my septum with a 10g piercing needle. I have a lot of tattoo ink, but when it comes to piercings I would say I'm a bit "green". I was quite nervous with anticipation the entire time leading up to/during the process, but Hydi was super rad and very professional and cleanly throughout the process. As of today, my new piercing is healed and I have removed the original retainer she had placed through my septum. I alternate between an "Omega" retainer and a captive ball septum ring. I am not familiar with the rest of the crew at Sacred, but one thing I can say is that Hydi is awesome! If I choose to get another piercing done, I am going straight to her. Thanks, Hydi!!!

    Septum done by Dee
    Portia R.

    This review is for Dee. The short: Dee is fantastic. The long: No stranger to tattoos or piercings, I'm picky about where I go and have had my share of experiences with artists all around the country. My septum piercing with Dee today was exceptional. She was very thorough in explaining the procedure, extremely hygienic (replacing her gloves at least 4 times in the process), light on touch and very personable. She knows her stuff and I highly recommend her. (Honestly, I only signed up with Yelp because I thought she deserved a great review.) The shop is clean and the vibe is pretty easy going!

    From start to finish. Thank you, Oey!!

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.

For any customers under 18, an original birth certificate is required and one of the birth parents (with identification) must also be present. Definitely make an appointment as the lines can be long.
