Best tattoo shop I've ever gone too. It was a lovely experience. Leo's focus was on me the whole day which left enough time to make changes or include more details. He's extremely meticulous and my tattoo came out so beautiful. I'm grateful for all of the effort he put into it. I let him have creative freedom with what I wanted and it was very worth it. The hospitality from Raquel was amazing and she always made sure I was fed with good snacks during my 8 hour session. Overall, extremely kind people that want to take care of you and give you the best quality art. Thank you guys for everything! I will definitely be returning! read more

I've been going to Leo for about five years now, and every tattoo I've gotten has been incredible. From the very beginning, him and Raquel have been great to work with!Leo is such an intentional artist and takes the time to listen to ideas, offer wonderful suggestions, and makes sure the final design fits exactly what I've been after. Leo's attention to detail and artistic skill are unmatched. Every line, every bit of shading, always turns out clean and precise. On top of that, the atmosphere they create in the shop is relaxed and welcoming. I have always felt comfortable and cared for during every session. What really stands out is how much passion he puts into his work. You can tell he truly leans into his craft, and it shows in the quality and creativity of every piece. I'm so proud to have his artwork on my skin and can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for a tattoo artist who's talented, professional, and genuinely kind. Raquel also makes booking easy and seamless, I look forward to seeing them both! read more

I cannot recommend this studio enough! read more

Love my new beautiful watercolor tattoo by Leo at Sorry Mama Tattoo! The entire experience was wonderful. The shop is clean and well-kept. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and they took great care of me, making sure I had everything I needed and was comfortable. Leo was truly amazing to work with - he listened to everything I wanted and turned my idea into reality! My tattoo was about a 4 hour sit, with an additional 1.5 hours dedicated to discussion, design, placement and final review before leaving (so expect to spend some time there while your artist works on making sure you get exactly what you want!) 10/10 would recommend and will be returning for future tatts! read more

Found this place just doing a Google search and then looked them up on here. I emailed them for a consultation and immediately got a response back from Raquel. She was nice through email and extremely awesome in person! After looking through the artist portfolios I decided to go with Rodrigo. On the day of the constitution, I met Leo. What a guy!! He talked to me like he knew me forever. I was just window shopping at the moment because I had other consultations with other artists. After going to 2 more appointments I decided to give up and go here. The vibes were just so amazing and it felt right! On the day of the tattoo, Rodrigo was just so chill. He was confident that he could do my portrait 100 % and made me feel like I was in good hands. Rodrigo did his thing! Even though I was ready to tap out, Rodrigo kept me calm and cool and perfected my portrait. He made me feel like my portrait was more important to him than it was to me and I absolutely love that about him. I found my new tattoo spot. I don't think I could go anywhere else but to Sorry Mama. You can't go wrong with any artist in that shop. They are all so welcoming, kind, respectful, and just amazing. Just be prepared to spend some time in the shop. They take their time and perfect everything. It is definitely not an In-N-Out process from beginning to end. read more

I got a tattoo yesterday at Sorry Mama. The artist was Leo from Brazil. I am extremely pleased with the entire experience but most importantly the artistry of the tattoo and Leo''s ability to view my design from paper and create a tattoo that I absolutely love. It continues to make me smile each time I look at it. My sister and I were both tattooed yesterday and we agree that both tattoos and experiences were awesome. Additionally, Rafa, who helped us schedule our appointments warmly welcomed us and treated us with kindness, respect and professionalism. He is a gem. The shop is comfortable, organized and clean. Thank you for this experience. read more

This place was great! I reached out to a bunch of places to ask about getting my septum pierced. Rated Ink responded so quickly and answered all my questions. They made me feel really good about my decision so I made a reservation. When I got there I did have to wait a while. That's okay. The actual time I had with the piercer was so quick. She answered all my questions again. Gave me the ring that I wanted. And it was painless! read more

Love my hand tattoos! Simple, clean and custom drawn on by the talented Alina. She is professional, creative, caring and took her time to custom draw exactly what I wanted. She explained everything me in detail from the start, from the procedure of the tattoo to the correct care for it. The studio is clean, well run, the cost phenomenal; I felt very comfortable and satisfied with my entire experience. After it healed Alina even touched them up for me as she had explained hand tattoos are difficult because of the area. Regardless of the need to touch it up, overall I am crazy in love with her work. I highly recommend Alina, her work is stunning. I promise you won't be disappointed! read more
