Quan is a tattoo artist I will keep coming back to. He is an educated illustrator and artist, with…read moreimpressive range. My tattoos have healed beautifully so far (10months) with no blowout. I had one other tattoo done by another artist (5 star shop) that blew out 3 months later. He is meticulous and detail-oriented, and puts up with my annoying reworks of his works kindly. He understands the art is on your body, so I deeply appreciate his tolerance and respectfulness. Rates are still modest, which is appreciated as a customer.

He is very friendly, respectful, and professional. His new location is quaint, clean, and easy to get to. He responds to messages pretty quickly and has clear communication both online and in person. I found him through instagram and I'm so grateful to have chosen him to do this piece. Thank you so much, Quan!! I love this tattoo like you couldn't even imagine.

How I settled on Chapter Tattoo was his detailed emails. He was professional and to the point. The…read moreshop was clean with black and white walls. He took me through his workstation on how each person has a brand new needle and ink set. Once the work is completed, he discards the needles in his biohazard red bin under his workstation. All his surfaces are stainless steal, disinfected, and items wrapped in plastic are changed out with each client. He is passionate about his work, calm, and he is a people person. He made sure my tattoos had the correct symmetry on my arm. This was my very first tattoo and ended up with two. Chapter Tattoo is the best place in town.

When I had my 200$ non refundable consultation with Paco, we agreed that I wanted a full sleeve and…read moretalked about what I wanted. I told him I wanted a Alex Grey sort of feeling, and Paco looked at me like I slashed one his paintings and asked "so you want a Alex Grey tattoo?". Sorry I didn't explain the type of imagery with another artist I didn't even know about, also sorry I didn't know you don't like Alex Grey. Anyway, we have some back and forth on the image and agree to start on just a half sleeve, but taking the same amount of sessions... weird I know, plus it only covers the outside of my arm (not finished). It's not worth nearly 4k I spent, if you ask me. Every time I went in I felt like I was over charged and under worked and treated like some a** hole who didn't deserve Paco's valuable time. Unplanned sessions kept getting added on and very little work actually got done the 6 hours I was usually there. Maybe I shouldn't have told someone who's in charge of handing out sobriety tokens (Paco), that I use psychedelics, but maybe I shouldn't feel like I have to be sensitive to a tattoo artists lifestyle options. Dude is a primadonna, who really doesn't care about you (unless you are vigilant at making him feel special, and right). Needless to say I felt like Paco and his wife hustled me out of a lot of my hard earned money for a tattoo that's sub 275$/hr, and gives me bad feelings every time I think about it. Would not recommend to anyone.

You could go to any one of the myriad of tattoo shops in the Bay Area, pick a piece of flash off…read morethe wall, plop down $50-$100, sit your ass in the chair for an hour or less and walk out with color in your skin. But for a work of art, as beautiful as a painting in a museum, uniquely yours, and unlike any other tattoo you've ever seen, Graven Image, and Paco in particular, is the place/artist to go to. Yes, you will pay a premium price. Yes, you might have to wait for an appointment. Yes, the process takes time and usually multiple sittings. But you will end up with the highest quality work that can be found in any shop, anywhere. And the shop is clean, friendly, helpful and all those things you'd expect from a quality establishment. I searched long and hard for an artist that could do the type of work that Paco does. I would never let anyone else tattoo me again, ever. When people see his work on my body they almost can't believe it's actually a tattoo and not something that has been painted on. it's that beautiful. I highly recommend this shop and the people that work there.

Great energy, super amazing vibe, not to mention clean and sterile (two key components for you new to tattoo searching) Clean line work, contrast shading, dynamic collaborative art. My fear of commitment and Toby's ability to take my ideas to paper has gotten myself a pretty sleeve tattoo. Can't wait to come back for more!

The second tattoo he did on me was an add-on to the first around my side and hip. So the whole piece looks like one. The designs came out even better than I imagined -- the attention to detail and artistry are incredible. I feel like it really suits me. The shop overall is clean and professional. It's nice that his wife also works there for tattoo removals. And Lalo seems to be great if you want a portrait tattoo. I can't wait to come back for my next one. I highly recommend Mars Ink if you're looking for beautiful, custom work and a great overall experience!

He was upfront about the total cost of the tattoo and listened to all of my requests while offering suggestions to make my piece flow better. He also gave me his cell phone number so I could send him ideas as well as get a rough craft sketch from him before I came into get the tattoo itself on Saturday. The process of getting inked was actually very comfortable considering how nervous I was. Tony is very patient and offers numbing creme for clients who are nervous like I was. He even sat down to say hi to me at the milk tea place next door while I was waiting for the numbing creme to take effect. Getting the tattoo printed on my body hurt a lot less than expected and was over in an hour. The needles he used were also a lot quieter than ones I've seen in the past. My tattoo was done in less than an hour and I'm extremely satisfied with the end result as it looks exactly like what I had in mind. He did a really great job of bringing my vision to life! Thank you tony! (:

So for the past few years I've always wanted to get a hanya mask tattoo'd on my back. I was always…read morepretty indecisive when it came to tattoo artists. To be honest, I would look at other peoples work to see if there was a specific hanya mask I liked, and I could not find one. Anyways then came one random day where Tony had hit me up to get some work done on instragram (@artistic_tony), letting me know he had a deal. So that was a great push for me to check out what he was all about. Came in for a price quote, and found out he was the same gentleman that had previously worked on a few of my friends tattoo's in the past. So I immediately had confidence that he would draw a pretty dope hanya mask for me and you know what he did? He drew me a dope @$$ hanya mask. Went through outlining, color, background. It turned out AWESOME. Tony is very friendly and great to talk to and listens to exactly what you want in your tattoo. Definitely will be returning to get more work done in the future with Tony!
