    Fresh ink! Just what I wanted!
    Amy R.

    Betty contacted me and pointed out I hadn't given the time between photos. The second photo is two months after. I have 16 other tattoos and most of them have been recent that did not experience this effect. She argued that it was my 'mature' 53 year old skin and the knee area as well as my ignorance. I have another under and on the knee I got a couple months after that looks great and has none of the issue this one has. It's color it great. I also didn't mention how old and faded it looks since it was laid so deep under the skin. It looks like 15 year old tattoos that I have as far as color quality only 3 months later. The line work was bad from the start with lots of overlaps at all the leaf points. I have never had a more dirty tattoo where so much ink came off still in the third day after.

    Great customer service from the moment you walk in this shop. We were lucky enough to get Jordan. He handled the consultation process very thoroughly, broke down every detail and made sure it was exactly what we wanted. My husband and I both got tattoos and he was fairly fast considering how much care he took. We had a great experience, I highly recommended this place and we will be back.

    Text conversation.

    If ZERO STARS was an option, Betty earned it. I highly suggest you find another tattoo artist/shop to do business with. So much unprofessionalism and clearly an outdated style. Not only did she not remember what she was supposed to draw out for us- she forgot our birth months, etc. even though she wrote it all down. After we chatted about styles I was interested in (just gave her ideas, which is typical and she welcomed), all seemed well, but then she acted like the design I chose that she presented to me was miraculously more detailed and had to be larger than what I told her I wanted. I don't see why she would change the size option knowing what I asked for. Then after all of this, the price she quoted for me went WAY up. I was very specific to the size I wanted, so designing a piece that's larger seems odd and shows poor communication on her part. When I questioned her on all of the discrepancies, she asked us to go somewhere else. No clarification or customer satisfaction on her end. She seemed rude and unprofessional in the shop when talking to her husband too. Should've taken a hint. Definitely an odd experience! Why not just communicate better with a potential client who PAID for a sketch. She kept our deposit too! Scammy lady. All could've been ok. Betty definitely needs to shape up that temper or retire since there's plenty of tattoo shops to choose from with much better talent and THEY COMMUNICATE MUCH BETTER! You've been warned.

    Saw this tattoo shop driving by. I was already itching for a tattoo but wasn't sure where I wanted to start my sleeve so I gave this shop a try and made an appointment. Consultation was easy and everyone inside was super nice. I got my half sleeve done by the owner, Betty. She is very talented and very friendly. I could not be happier with my piece. I recommend this place 110%. She did a great job.

    I love my Celtic tree repaired by Jordan. I can't wait to finish it.

    Jordan took a bad tattoo and made it beautiful. I had a bad experience from another artist in another shop and Jordan made it amazing. He was understanding and he listened to my concerns. If you want a beautiful work of art go visit this shop. Thank you Tattoo Betty's

    I just love this family shop. My husband has gone to Betty for beautiful tattoos for years and I got lucky to have her son Jordan do a couple custom pieces for me and they are beautiful!! I will never go anywhere else! These are quality people! The best in Amador country!!

    Tattoo Betty Rocks!  Love my tat!

    I cannot express how much I love and appreciate the amazing work Betty does! I love, love,love my new tat! Betty has such a gentle hand and her spirit is amazing! I am over the moon in love with the work Betty did today.

    I went there to get a cover up. The artist was professional, took his time and gave me a beautiful floral tattoo. They could see I was tired and directed me to their water cooler. The shop is also extremely clean. Compared to a lot of other tattoo places this was refreshing. Highly recommend tattoo Betty's. Their beautiful work and kindness were awesome.

    Our nostril piercings!
    Anjelica S.

    This was THE BEST experience I have ever had at a Tattoo shop. My best friend and I came in on a whim to get our nostrils pierced. We immediately felt comfortable because the place is CLEAN! The lady and her son who helped us were so friendly, we were exchanging stories and laughing our butts off before we even got our service done. The young man did out piercings and they are perfect! He placed them just right, it wasn't too painful and he did such a great job of breaking down and sanitizing between us that I felt reassured we picked the right place to go! He meticulously and in detail explained how to care for our new piercings and even gave written directions! Thank you so much for an awesome experience!!!!

It was a little a little difficult to make an appointment since there is no website posted and it's appointment only. I tried calling for a little over a week and no one would answer the phone and finally a lady answered. I check to see if they had any same day appointments, but they didn't and she said she had to send me a link to book an appointment. The link sends you to book an appointment in which you pick the piercing service you want for each service you must put down a partial non refundable deposit for the time you book ad they are reserving that time slot just for you based on the service (s) you need. This place must be a popular place to go to for piercings because they were 2 weeks out for that next available appointment. I arrived a little early in case I needed to fill out and liability paperwork. I waited a few minutes before being greeted. The lady came out the back about 10 mins into my appointment time. I wanted to go over the jewelry I wanted instead of the surgical stainless steel jewelry. They have 14K jewelry and titanium and I forgot the other metal. I originally 14k jewelry but they only had yellow gold and I preferred white gold, but they didn't have it for the piercings I was getting. The piercings I got was the spider bite, Monroe and tongue. The jewelry I went with is Titanium jewelry instead. They gave me a nice discount for the amount of piercings and jewelry pieces I got. They are a little higher than other places that do piercings, but I'd leather pay for quality over quantity. The gentleman who did my piercings I forgot his name, but he was very patient with me with the area I wanted pierce. Allowed me to take my time with the positioning on the piercings until I was satisfied. He went through the process with my and recommended products to use to prevent infections and proper healing. I was told to come back in a week to make sure my piercings are healing nicely no extra charge for that and to downsize the jewelry if needed. I highly recommend coming here if you want a clean quality place to get your piercings. I will definitely be back if I decide to get more piercings.

After a few minutes Jamie came out to meet us and I could already tell from the beginning, this was THE guy. After getting to know eachother a bit, he heard our ideas about what we both wanted, the price range, & about how long it would take. After agreeing to everything we waited in the lobby for about less than an hour before he was able to see us. During that time we met a lovely individual Aaron who was an absolute sweet heart, also waiting to get another tattoo. She pretty much made most of the waiting time fly by with the amazing stories of traveling down to Costa Rica and Cajun. Just the whole vibe of the place sets up to be a core memory for me. The whole tattoo took about 3 hours for my forearm and about an hour for my wife's tattoos. The whole time Jamie told us about the many amazing people hes met over the 16 years hes been tattooing and got to know us during that time. We really appreciate this experience and the hospitality and even helping up out at the end with the price. Thank you so much and we will be back to add Groau at the bottom to complete the list for me!

I would give five stars but as you can see in the picture, parts of the initials were a little more heavy-handed which made the line thicker than in other spots, it would be an easy fix if I were to go back in to get it touched up, I just haven't done it yet. Otherwise, they are clean and professional, and pretty friendly which I appreciated. I recommend.

Cheryl pierced my belly button without informing me know that I didn't have the ring anatomy to support a belly button piercing. I thought I was healing fine until the around May/June. I started noticing more crust build up even with regularly cleaning. I also didn't wear clothing that fit the belly area super tight. I had gone to a different and apparently more well informed piercing shop (not Emerald) and they broke the news to me. I went in under the impression that my piercing needed to be downsized because the swelling had gone down but instead I was told that my body was rejecting the jewelry because I didn't have the right anatomy for it. Then my jewelry was inspected by the shop and there were signs that the jewelry was poor quality, inadequate for body jewelry. Now I have scarring on my belly, money loss, and eight months wasted. When I was getting pierced Cheryl was training a new piercer. She should not be training and should get her license reevaluated. The reason helix is in quotations is because my helix piercing was also pierced at a bad location, it was closer to a flat piercing than a helix. Both my helix and conch piercing were removed because it was infected due to jewelry quality. Spark Notes: Please please please go to a better shop to get your piercings, jewelry is about one of the most important part of a PIERCING and even that was cheap, poor, and inadequate. Do NOT come here because its cheaper, that lead to potentially permanent scarring on my belly. - CHEAP JEWELRY - POORLY TRAINED STAFF (DIDN'T INFORM ME THAT MY I DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT ANATOMY FOR A PIERCING AND JUST PIERCED IT ANYWAYS, MY PIERCING WAS FLOATING) Avoid this place at all costs or end up like me and have scars everywhere. Getting my money back wouldn't even begin to make me feel better about this. This is such a big hit for me because I frequently wear clothing that shows my belly (hence why I got the piercing). Now I have a big ugly scar. THANKS.
