    Black cat tattoo by Brian Mead @ Sailor's Grave Tattoo
    Dan B.

    We have known Henry as a family friend for a few years. We were visiting Eureka and walked in to say "Hi". He had an opening and was excited about my wife's idea. Hebert sat down and drafted the idea up and got to work making the sacred heart inspired design for my wife. It came out perfectly and she's super happy with it. While I was waiting I talked to Brian about a small black cat tattoo. He whipped up a sketch, I loved it, and then he inked me. The studio is great and the crew is a family and extends that feeling to people that come in. They are patient and will answer questions. Check out the portfolios they have on hand. Marvel at the collection of flash on display. Be friendly and open to the input these artists give you and you'll have a great time. I can't wait to come back for more work from Henery, Brian, and crew at Sailor's Grave.

    Exceptionally clean and very friendly / accommodating staff. Staff is very talented, I will go nowhere else because of their talent and professionalism.

    Douchebag Rob Gribbins did this disaster slash unintentional masterpiece of WTF???
    merkley m.

    I just had a panicked conversation with a distraught friend who received a tattoo from Rob Gribbins today. She showed me the source art that she brought with her and wanted duplicated precisely on her arm and she showed me the final result. She mentioned a long argument with Gribbins and how she reluctantly, in stages, relented to let him do it his way, or rather, to fix each of his mistakes in his previous stages, rather than just transfering her design onto her arm the way she wanted. She moaned about how stupid she felt for allowing him to muscle his way onto her arm. She lamented about how dumb she felt giving him a deposit and making an appointment weeks in advance and how it made her feel trapped into bargaining with him. Long story short, her version would have looked a billion times better than the pure crap he put on her arm. I get that it's subjective, but what isn't subjective is that it is HER F@CKING ARM! Douchebags like Rob Gribbins are the reason why tattoo shop culture can go f@ck itself. BUYER BEWARE. DO NOT let douchebag tattoo "artists" talk you into anything you don't want. If they try, just walk away. You are not a CANVAS. You are a human being. well, some of you. here is a picture of his disaster slash unintentional masterpiece of "WTF!!!???" http://s3-media1.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/feJrabPp9ilmr7W4_tfSZA/l.jpg

    Over the course of a few years I've had the pleasure of receiving a number of tattoos from Henry Kruger at Sailors Grave. My favorite pieces are from Henry. The staff has always been super professional and the shop is immaculately clean and beautiful. I have always felt welcomed, comfortable and satisfied with every experience. Henry is a consummate professional and dedicated to his craft. He designs each piece according to your specific ideas but also keeping true to his artistic style and tattooing aesthetic. I have friends who have been tattooed by some of the other artists. I have to say whole shop is insanely talented. Oh yeah and the best bathrooms in humboldt by far!

    Went in with a very specific tattoo in mind, John was very helpful with his estimate and scheduled me for the very next day. The cleanliness was second to none and I will be going back to get more work done on this same piece.

    I just got my first ink here and I will never go anywhere else. First, I picked this place because the pictures showed a bright and clean environment. I am from out of the area so I relied on this first impression. I talked to Rob Gribbin about my idea for a memorial tattoo for my dad, who was killed in Vietnam. I sent Rob an email of my inspiration piece a few days before my appt. He said he would have a sketch ready for me when I showed up. It was amazing. So much better than the inspiration piece. I have gotten so many compliments, even from those who don't agree with tattoos. I would recommend Rob to anyone wanting a beautiful piece of art on their body. And I am sure I will be back for more!
