    They made the whole tattoo experience smooth and exciting. Jennifer was amazing and not only created my tattoo, she text me a pic prior to me coming in to make sure I liked it. The day of the tattoo, she talked to me why I was getting the tattoo and really took into consideration the story behind the tattoo. The atmosphere is laid back and be prepared to see a lot of eclectic decorations and original art. It's laid back and they even have a little dog that walks around to greet you! I love my tattoo and if you are looking an awesome team go het inked ant Tinta Cantina!!

    Jonny Mac is the illest!

    Jonny Mac proved that he is the best in Albuquerque once again with a one of a kind master piece on my chest. It even caught th attention is Steven Tefft when I had him do the other side of my chest. His imagination and ability to bring ink to life is truly unbelievable. Once I had him touch me there is no going back to just any tattoo artist for me- only the best. Welcome to the Death Star!

    Excellent work, they've done all of my tattoos and they've all turned out great. I highly recommend everyone in here.

    This shop is top shelf. And to be fair, I'm referring to Johnny Mac. I have traveled to New Mexico to have him tattoo me...TWICE. He is insanely talented. Both times, I have given him ideas of what I wanted and he's just run with them and made them his own. He's the kind of artist you can trust to do that and that's HUGE. He works quickly and professionally. On top of all of that, he's a rad dude. He makes the whole process such a positive experience. He takes the time to understand exactly what you are looking for and then delivers it with such care. It truly is amazing to watch him work and reveal the vision in his head on your skin. He's a busy cat so make sure you book early for your appointment.

    Love love the service I got here! First time visiting and went because of a recommendation from a friend. I made an appointment just a couple days in advance and brought it a piece I drew myself and Jenny brought my drawing to life! I would definitely recommend and return!

    I brought my dad here for his first tattoo based on a recommendation from a friend. Elvis gave my dad exactly what he wanted--and more! He was very relaxed and explained everything to my dad so that he was comfortable. I am so pleased with his work and will be coming back to him to get a matching version of my dad's tattoo! The environment was super chill and all the staff members we encountered were very nice!

    Once again, my tattoo artist Carlos gives me a unique and custom tattoo…read more So comforting when you have an an idea to put art on your body that you can be happy with...after all it's permanent. Archetype tattoo makes you feel at home and like family, making sure your happy from beginning to end with your tattoo.

    I have nothing but good words to say about this shop, the owner Ben, and my artist, Aldo Gallegos…read more I first met Aldo several years ago when he took over on a tattoo I wasn't able to get finished by the original artist for various reasons. The work that was originally done was just fine, but Aldo really made the character shine in a way I didn't think possible. My expectations were blown out of the water and I was amazed by the improvements he made. Fast forward to 2024, and I came to him with a a few references, an illustrative idea, and a lot of rambling details I hoped he could include. Once again, he was able to take my thoughts and run with them to create a gorgeous illustration. We had a "clarity consultation", something I think every artist should do, to hammer out details and go over any changes I might want made to the original design. I was able to watch his process, see his color-theory (unmatched!) in action, and okay the final design. Aldo's application to skin is flawless, he takes the time needed to make a beautiful piece of art that will stick around for decades to come. Also, he uses Saniderm, which speeds up the healing process immensely. It is clear Aldo takes great pride in what he does, and you can only benefit from getting work done by him. I love showing off the piece and letting people know where I got it. It is only a bonus that he is kind and attentive, something that can lack in the tattoo community. It reflects on the tattoo shop and the owner, Ben, that there is clearly a carefully-cultivated team of professionals at Archetype. The vibe is laid-back but professional and everyone is friendly and accommodating. I will 100% be returning to Archetype, and Aldo, for my next tattoo.

    I went with two of my cousins for "cousin tattoos," and they were able to fit us in on a Monday…read moreafternoon. The outside of the shop looked a bit shady, but the inside is great! I'm glad we didn't judge the book by its cover. Bianca did our teeny hearts on our ankles to match. She was so great, and one of my cousins had never had any tattoos before, but Bianca made it so easy for her. She had excellent "bedside manner," if you will, and was really fun to talk to during our time with her. Her artwork in her studio room was all really beautiful to look at too! We paid $60 each, since the shop has a $60 minimum shop fee. I don't live in NM, but I think I would go back to her again to get more stuff done.

    You know how everybody has one shitty tattoo? I got mine here. I got mine done by a guy named…read moreJohnny. It's simple script, but somehow it looks awful. I had to get it touched up 5 times. Yes, 5 TIMES, and it still looks blotchy and grey in some parts. The 4th time I went in, Johnny decided that he didn't like the way the "j" looked and just freehanded over it. So now it looks like balls. Thanks. I'm very upset and frankly, pretty embarrassed of my first tattoo. Johnny was very kind and welcoming, which was the only good part of this experience. If I didn't live on the other side of the country now I would go back in and talk to the manager about getting a more experienced artist to fix this. However, my $100 back for this awful tattoo would be awesome. Although, I'm not expecting it. Not from this place.
