My first visit was for a partial cover-up that transitioned into a tribal tattoo. I researched very carefully because I was intentionally seeking women tattoo artists who specialize in tribal work. The story I'm telling through my tattoos matters deeply to me, and respect for symbolism is essential. That search led me to Mel. After seeing her work, I booked a consultation--and she more than lived up to her reputation. In fact, she exceeded my expectations so much that I returned to have the tattoo extended straight down my spine (which is AWESOME!!!) My long-term project is to have women tattoo artists visually gift my life story in Polynesian and Filipino tribal styles across the entire right side of my body. While I also proudly wear tattoos by male artists on the other side--chosen just as intentionally--I want this side to honor women artists who truly understand and respect tribal symbolism. Mel is absolutely among the best. A few weeks ago, I returned during Humble Beginnings' Black Friday flash sale and got a rose tattoo on my arm--this time by Kim. She did such an incredible job that I'm already planning to go back to her for a rose half-sleeve. I'll also be returning to Mel to continue work on my leg and complete another section of my side. Every time I'm in the studio, I find myself watching the other artists work and feeling completely inspired. Their talent is next-level. Honestly, I'm tempted to get tattooed by every artist there! As long as I have canvas for it! Every artist at Humble Beginnings is incredibly skilled, and having their work represented on your body is absolutely worth it. If you're looking for artistry, intention, and a studio that truly feels like home--this is the place.

I recently had the pleasure of getting a tattoo done by Billy at Tattoo Nerds, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! I've been wanting a tattoo of mountains with stars, inspired by one of my favorite scenes in a book, and Billy brought that vision to life in the most amazing way. I had been shopping around for a while, but Billy's work really called out to me. I was excited when I called and was able to get an appointment the same day. From the moment I walked in, Billy was informative and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The tattoo didn't hurt much at all, and the shading he did is phenomenal. Now that my tattoo is healing, I love it more and more. The talent and attention to detail truly shine through. I can't wait to come back and fill up the area with more tattoos. If you're looking for a talented and professional tattoo artist, I highly recommend Tattoo Nerds! read more

I recently found Billy and chose him to do my full sleeve. As a perfectionist and tattoo advocate I wanted someone who could capture the realism and attention to detail. Billy knocked it out of the park and I couldn't be happier. He is a true professional at bringing what you want to light and making it look more than real. You can see his passion when he works on the design and prides himself in customer satisfaction. He made my other tattoos from a previous artist look elementary and I will be recommending anyone who wants a tattoo to go to him. Let's put him and his own new shop on the map! Billy is a highly skilled and top level tattoo artist and has earned the #1 tattoo artist ranking in the Bay Area in my opinion. Can't wait to book again! read more

Got a tattoo today by Billy. Super humble down to earth guy. Awesome studio, felt comfortable right when I walked through the door. He was attentive and had a couple options for me as far as tattoo designs. Setting up the appointment was very easy and fast. You can tell he loves what he does. He really took the time to get everything right with my Jason Voorhees foreman tattoo. The conversation was great, he continuously checked in to see how i was doing and accommodated my neck and back pain. If you are looking for a realism tattoo i HIGHLY recommend booking with Billy. I would 100% get another piece done here with him. Especially if you are looking for anything horror related, he does a great job with horror icons! read more

Son is a amazing artist who's down to earth and is really good at his craft…read more Did some repair work on a tattoo of wings on the back of my neck that was a memorial for my mother it came out fantastic and I couldn't be more happy check him out his price is very fair and his skill very good it's so important to do a lot of research before getting any ink you won't be disappointed

This is a bit of a late review but this is the first tattoo I have ever gotten and because of Sonny…read moreI will definitely be getting more! He was very professional and patient. He takes time to work on a design that you will love and will fit to your body. I have heard about people's experiences with tattoo artist pressing down way too hard but this was not the case with Sonny. I have an average pain tolerance and the only time I ever felt slight discomfort from the needle was in tender spots which Sonny warned me about. I absolutely love my tattoo and it healed beautifully!
