Master piece done by Siri
Maggie Q.

I've been to coming to Siri for a few years now so my review is so long overdue. She not only makes her clients feel comfortable and heard, but puts her heart and soul into her work and is always bringing your ideas to life! We our currently working on a leg sleeve and I couldn't be any more happier with the results. Siri is a whole vibe and has my complete trust. I've recommended Siri to a lot of my family, friends and others who get curious when they see one of my tattoos and they've also enjoyed their experience with Siri!

Highly recommend getting tattooed here!! Great atmosphere, amazing quality work. The shop itself is so clean and all the different artists are very talented i got tattooed by javi and he had a very soft hand so it really didn't hurt at all and the work itself was very detailed and pretty. In love, 10/10. Get your tatts here

Absolutely thrilled with my tattoo! Addaline tattoo is my recommendation for this shop. Had a great time chatting and getting inked. She walked me through the process and gave me the story of how she started tattooing. She gave me exactly what I asked for! The shop was nice and clean feeling. All of the staff were nice and friendly.

Javi absolutely killed my tattoo. I've been working with him for a while now. He knocked out my sleeve and it came out way better than expected. On this session he 100 percent came up with the design (this was one of his flash pieces). He is super easy to work with and will bring your idea to life. The vibe in the shop is great, good music, decor is nice and they even have snacks. (Added pictures of my sleeve as well. Knocked that out in 4 sessions)

I recently came across Siris work on instagram and instantly fell in love with her work! She was quick on getting back to me, really understood and worked with what I wanted and she came through ! . She is very professional and sweet and easy to carry a conversation with. The shop is nice and neat ! Love the environment & everyone else in the shop is super chill & welcoming as well. Definitely coming back to finish my full arm sleeve with siri !

Been rockin w Joseph and his shop(s) for years now and I gotta say, dude's a beast w the tattoo gun and all his artists are just as good. The shop is clean, professional, and their work speaks for itself. Both my arms are done and I'm booking to get my chest and back done too

Absolutely LOVE my tattoo and can't wait to go back and get another one from the lovely @addaline_tattoo ! Not only an amazing artist, but a super chill, professional tattoo artist. Definitely recommend!

Healing very poorly tattoo

Eva aka peanut is a great artist! In the time she has been an apprentice I have gone to get tattooed by her 5 times and I love every piece I've gotten by her! She makes an incredibly safe space and gives out stickers and trinkets and is always very professional! Her flash is incredibly creative and adorable 10/10 experience every time and I definitely recommend booking with her! Same with Leana they are both INCREDIBLY talented

Silly goose tattoo done by Peanut

Had a tattoo done by Peanut today! Not only was my design absolutely amazing but I was extremely impressed with how organized and clean the shop was. Everyone there is so friendly and there to make sure you have a great time. My tattoo came out great and I will be going back to add more later.

See all

I have been looking for this place and i cant find it where is it?

It's on W Texas St. There's no signage outside and Joe keeps the gate locked for safety. Make sure to get in touch with him first so he knows when to expect you. He may be there but the gate may be locked.

This photo barely shows the cuts on my ear. I went o the tattoo shop…read moreAnd the owner said he could pierce my ear. He pierced my ear and used a clasp earring which I never seen done before but I trust the owner and all his years of experience. Bad idea. Not even a week later my ears were in so much pain and swollen, the claps were so tight they cut the skin on my ears and my skin began to heal around the earring. I had to go to a tattoo shop to have the earring removed. I had blisters near the end of the clasps and my skin over grew the two ends of the clasp to separate the earring from my ear. There was no room between my swollen skin and earring to where we could cut the earring with pliers so spent over 35 minutes trying to remove each ring. I was in the wrist pain I was crying screaming blood was everywhere my entire left side of my jaw went numb and I almost past out cause the pain. My sister came with me and got her cartilage pierced that day as well. Just this morning she sent me a video of two out of three of her piercings were ingrown with the skin in her ear. The jewelry he used was too small and there was no room left for swelling.

This time she adapted a piece of my best friend's art for tattooing, and it's definitely my new favorite ink. Monica, you have a client for life in me. And as for the shop itself, it's comfy, clean, and has the absolute best playlist. Everyone makes you feel like a regular, even if it's only your first or second time, and the whole vibe feels so authentic to the people who work there. A true 11/10 joint that I recommend to anyone I can.

The Best In The Bay!…read more The Artist: I actually discovered Sugar City tattoo through Yelp! I was looking for a tattoo artist that have experience in outdoor nature scenery! After a few months of searching I finally decided on Sorin and ready to get my own paradise! Sorin is one of the coolest artists that I have ever met. I felt very comfortable with him during consultation. He was very patient, very helpful. Customer discussing ideas can be frustrating for an artist specially when the customer have a difficult time describing designs. I was that customer lol. But Sorin was calm while sharing some ideas! He was easy to talk to and the vibe was real!!I knew it then that the process of getting my tattoo is going to be a pleasant experience! And I wasn't wrong! Sorin completed the project and I was very pleased of the quality and the results. My friends, family and colleagues love it!! So, I went back for a second one! It won't be the last! Tha facility: I like the facility a lot. It's situated in one of the main streets in Crockett in one of the historic buildings. I'm not really sure but it looks historic. The interior looks cool and cozy and not scary! lol. It's a place anyone will be comfortable getting tats done! Finally, if you are thinking of getting ink for New Year or something personal, Sorin is the man for the job at Sugar City Tattoo Company! As I mentioned, I'll be back for more!

Shorty's is THE spot for tattoos and piercings! I initially came here three years ago for a third…read moreear piercing and after talking with Mopps (the guy at the front who is absolutely amazing), I decided to come back (three years later) for my first tattoo. I have wanted to get tatted since I was in my twenties, and when I recently celebrated my 59th birthday I knew (1). it was finally time to get a tattoo and (2). Shorty's was the place I would come to for this momentous event. I admit I was nervous as I have heard so many stories of how tattoos are so painful. What I learned from Mopps and my new tattoo artist, Woodie, is it really depends on who is giving you your tatt. Woodie, who is now the ONLY guy who will ever put tattoos on my body, did an amazing job. He has a 'light hand' (this was not my terminology but is true) and honestly, the process barely hurt. I have a severely low tolerance for pain, and while the tatt is on my upper arm and I did have a book on Kindle that I was listening to in order to help keep myself calm, the overall process was incredibly smooth and comfortable. (Side note, no, I did not use any numbing creams), and Mopps came into the room where I was getting my tattoo several times to check on me, which I truly appreciated. Squirrel, the newest member of this awesome crew, (yes, that is her nickname) also stopped by to watch Woodie work and check on me as well. I did come into the shop with an idea of what I wanted, however after talking with Woodie and getting a feel for his personality, I gave him the freedom to be as creative as he wanted. Ironically the picture of what I wanted was one of Woodie's creations, which I learned from him during our initial conversation. I do appreciate that he chose to give me another original creation and not a replica of something he had already done however he did incorporate aspects of the work I wanted into my tattoo. I was so incredibly pleased with my tattoo that I am already planning go go back (to Woodie, of course) for a second tattoo before the year ends. The entire shop is very sterile and I appreciate Woodie and Mopp's advice (which I followed to the letter) regarding tattoo aftercare. Overall the entire crew at Shorty's is absolutely AMAZING. I met Shortie when I first came to the shop for my third ear piercing (she did the piercing and is incredibly kind). Her amazing personality, along with Mopp's awesome demeanor was what gravitated me back to the shop. Woodie is incredibly talented and was just absolutely amazing. He did an incredibly fantastic job on my tattoo and I am so thankful he was my tattoo artist. The environment was very relaxing and the old school R& B that was playing added to the overall vibe of the environment. As a woman of color I felt completely comfortable, totally relaxed and peaceful throughout this entire process. I highly recommend giving any of the tattoo artists here a try as they are all amazing, but of course I am highly preferential towards Woodie. I tip my hat to this crew and admit I will never go anyplace else for my tattoos. I told myself I will get one additional tattoo (tattooing, as I have discovered, is addictive, but in a good way), however even when I move out of California, if I ever decided to get a third tattoo I will fly back to California just to come to Shorty's for Woodie to give me that last and hopefully final tatt. A friend once told me once you find a good hairdresser you stay with that person, even if you have to travel far to get your hair done. Everyone may not agree with this statement, but I feel the same about a good tattoo artist. This place is definitely the only tattoo shop I will ever go to and Woodie is my tattoo artist for life.

TLDR: I went in for a naval piercing and left without one and paid $20. With the unfriendly and…read moreunprofessional staff, hot and stuffy room, the piercer's baby crying in the small shop, and unclean practices I chose to leave. When I first walked in the male at the desk was not very friendly and did not even greet us. We were handed over to the piercers and one asked the other "Do you want her or do you want me to take her?" the other responded "I don't care". At this point I'm don't really feel like a valued customer, I'm just whatever to them. Not one person said hello to me, introduced themself, or even asked me my name. The whole process felt like I was being rushed and they wanted me in and out very quickly (despite no other customers in the shop). I was moved to the small room in the back and every question I asked felt like I was bothering the piercer, giving me short answers instead of helping me to make a decision. The jewelry did not seem properly sterilized, just quickly sprayed down, no autoclave machine. I did not even see the piercer wash her hands. With the unfriendly and unprofessional staff, hot and stuffy room, the piercer's baby crying in the small shop, and unclean practices I chose to leave. I did have to pay $20 because the piercer said she already opened the needle (which was opened before selecting jewelry and marking). Not complaining because I understand those are her supplies, but I wish she waited until she saw that I was ready and comfortable. Was hoping for a different outcome because I saw so many great reviews, but perhaps I caught them on an off day like a few other negative reviews mentioned

Parking lot is large (and free.) Bonus points the shop is right next to open space marshlands with a walking trail. The shop is gorgeous, SUPER CLEAN, and the ambiance is in good taste. My appointment was with Nick. We discussed in detail what I wanted and what I didn't want. He listens. --I know that can be a rarity nowadays. But if you're gonna be stuck with a tattoo for the rest of your life, make sure you find an artist that will listen to what you want.-- He took his time and I love his attention to detail. He is an artist both in the shop and in his life outside the shop. Makes a huge difference when choosing a person to do a tattoo. Looking forward to continuing this project in a few weeks. Highly recommend.
