Loved that I found this little gem! Julia was so patient, and kind and really made me feel comfortable! She spent time with me and helped me find the right piece I was looking for. She placed stencils in multiple places on my arm till I was happy with the placement. She had such a light hand, so my pain level was maybe at a 2 out of 10! I love my two tiny tattoos so much! They are fine line tattoos and they are so perfect! She did amazing, and I will be getting a lot more from her and I have already referred her to everyone I know and I will always recommend her Especially to first timers looking for their first tattoo! Such a lovely experience! Wish she did my first tattoo and all of my tattoos!! read more

Best tattoo I ever got. If you want quality work done you need to go to Tattoo 925. Kevin was my artist. This is my second piece with him. I am always hesitant to get new work done without a trusted artist, so when I moved back to California a few years ago I didn't get any work done for a while. But I made a friend at the gym that had incredible work done. The style was great and some of the work was several years old and still looked amazing. I asked for his artist and he introduced me to Kevin. I'm not artistic at all so I heavily rely on the artist to help take an idea and make it incredible. The final product exceeded anything I could've imagined. It's also worth noting that the other staff that I met there were friendly and seemed to be in pretty high demand, which has to be a good sign for the shop. The shop was also very clean and the staff take incredible care to make sure the work they do is safe and sanitary for us. read more

I was craving some more tattoos and since I live in Martinez I decided to try the shop, am I ever glad I did. I had the pleasure of being tattooed by a lovely woman named Justine. I got two tattoos and they came out so great that I recently went back and got two more, they are my favorite tattoos. The vibe in the shop it's great, everyone is so friendly and funny and when I leave the shop my stomach literally hurts from laughing so hard. I Will recommend this shop to everyone I know. Thank you again Justine, girl you kick ass! XOXO read more

Best tattoo shop. The shop told me they would call me to have me come in and get my Friday the 13th tattoos done since my name was on the waiting list. I got a call 2 days later asking when I would like to come in. No other tattoo shops that I know of did this. They made their customers wait in line outside. Reyna did a great time tattooing me. She took her time and the tattoos came out great. I recommend this place. Great service. Nice shop. read more

I made an appointment here back in March, for a leg piece that was suppose to take place in August with Sergio. I searched for a long time looking for a talented artist, and felt I had found one. I requested the day off from work since they don't do weekend appointments, had to come into the shop between the hours of noon to 7 (which was a challenge as well being that I work from 10-6:30 out of the area. But I said I'll find a way, booked my appointment gave a $100 deposit to Sergio. Meanwhile, I'm stacking to pay him for the large piece I wanted, I even made the appointment after vacation this summer because he suggested I not be in direct sun for a while as it heal. A week before the appointment I texted the number he gave me, to confirm a time, no response. A few days before I call the shop to confirm a time, a woman picked up the phone and said he couldn't come to the phone he was with a client but to come in at 11. The night before, literally 9pm, he texts me saying he has to cancel. He didn't mention what was the next step, a refund for my deposit, NOTHING. I had to ask him if he could refund me my deposit, he then said he could fit me in next time he had a cancelation. As if people don't have 9-5'a and can walk in when he's good and ready. I politely declined, I can't afford to lose out on another work day because of his unprofessionalism. I'm not saying he isn't a good artist, I'm saying the place isn't professional in my opinion and they couldn't care less about what arrangements you make to meet their days of operation, hours, etc. He refunded me my $100, that's what the one star goes to. read more

Kevin did my tattoo today and it turned out great!!!! The shop was clean and the overall atmosphere was awesome. Kevin was professional yet personable. I will be going back!!! Update: Went back to Tattoo 925 for a simple initial tattoo on my ring finger, Fern helped my husband and I and he was great too! That shop really cares about their clients and it shows! We were in and out and the price was very reasonable! I would recommend this shop to everyone! read more

I've wanted a tattoo for quite some time now. When I finally made my decision, I was recommended by a family member to see Sergio. I was a bit nervous. Mostly about my tattoo. I had my Hebrew name and wanted that along with some flourishes. He nailed the sketch on his first drawing. When he started the work I thought for sure it would be painful. He's very light handed and did a beautiful job. I could not be any happier. My sister came along to have hers done as well. He was spot on with her as well. Sergio is the best!!!!!! read more

Shoutout to Sergio Mendez great tattoo artist and shop is very clean. 10/10 recommend

Ask for Sergio. He did an amazing job on my piece. The shop is clean, has a parking lot, and is reasonable priced. Be prepared to make an appointment a ways out and they only take cash. I will definitely be back. read more

I went to this place yesterday because recommendation from a friend of mine. I brought my design and Fern did amazing job .. Im happy with the works...just waiting to heal. The place is clean and people are very nice. Definitely recommend to everyone. read more

These gentlemen May well Define tattoo work. Which is why I came there. Let's just say there was a vibe there that I could not stand. I hope you other folks have a different experience but in my opinion these guys just want to hang out and watch a fucking movie. Back in my day tattoos men shooting the shit and being with other people that you communicate with these guys miss the mark in my opinion just my thoughts read more

I have a lot of tattoos...but it's the ones Fern did that get the compliments. Always perfect penetration of the skin & heals up beautifully. No where else do my tattoos to heal up how Fern's do. Fern has been at it long enough to know what works and what does not. read more

I called Fern to ask him to look at his work to see if we could improve it. We agreed on a time, and when I showed up, 15 minutes early, they had closed. I waited til our agreed upon time thinking that they might return. Nope. I left a note with my number...no response. I suppose I will have to pay someone else to fix this. read more

I came to tattoo 925 about a yr ago and will never go to anyone else. Fernando is the BEST artist and I know plenty of people who have gone to him and won't go to anyone else. His artwork is amazing! No joke, I plan on going back to him for the rest of my tattoos I'm getting. If I could give him more then 5 stars I would. He exceeded my expectations of what I originally wanted in my tattoo. He puts your ideas into more then you could ever imagine.. read more

Fern is the best.. He's easy to talk to and gives good advice! He's fixing and adding to a tattoo that I wasn't happy with (not done by him) and he's makin it something that I'm gonna love! Thanks Fern! read more

I made a post yesterday and i got no idea what happen to it, yea im a first timer with this yelp stuff. So let me get to the nitty gritty!! Just want to give props to Fern he's got real talent, ive been tattooed by recommended artist out here in the bay but when i got some work from Fern i found out who the best is! El Famoso Fern has set the standard really high, so i got to give credit where its deserved and thats at 925 with Fern. Great quality work, great customer service highly recommend this place. read more

4.5 stars for a reason, should be 5! Fern is the man, he turns an idea into a masterpiece. I have many tattoos from different artists, would recommend Fern with the utmost confidence. Don't waste your time looking for somewhere else, Tattoo-925 is the spot to go. This will not be my last visit there! read more

Fern is very quick to tattoo exactly what you don't want! His work looks like prison ink and he rushes the job. Not meticulous and he is very unprofessional. He also has very poor personal hygiene. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone read more

I'm new to the area and I spent most of my day today bouncing around between different tattoo shops checking them out. I asked for a price estimate for a tattoo that I knew should only cost around $40. This fool said he wanted $150 for it. I was looking for a place where I'll probably be spending close to $10,000 in the next couple of years and using this next tat as a test to see where I should invest my money and skin at. And this dip shit blew it just so he could try to rip me off for like what, an extra $90. The work in their books looked really solid too which is why I'm so disappointed they turned out to be shylocks. Really talented artist, but shitty human beings with terrible business sense. read more

Fern did a cover up of a large Tattoo on my back. Other shops had turned me down because of the size and placement. The old tattoo is gone and there is a great colorful new one in it's place thanks to Fern. I have been to a few shops and I will never go to anyone but Fern in the future. I already have plans for my next tattoo and can't want for another amazing piece of artwork done by him. read more
