First tattoo -- and my experience was WOW! Much better than expected. Healed fast, almost no pain. Really great overall -- and as my artist Claudia said, if you have a great experience with your first tattoo, it's just the beginning of your journey to the next one. After two weeks, I'm already ready for my next tattoo :) The price is also very reasonable for the quality you get. read more

Tuesday Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - San Francisco, California

Amazing people/artists who work tirelessly to make you feel welcomed and wanted. They all have such distinct styles and are some of the nicest tattoo people I've ever met! No egos, all smiles, and I'm honored to have their artwork on me. Shout out to Taylor who's been tattooing me since 2018 and is one of the most authentic people I've ever met! read more

Lovely intimate tattoo space with talented artists. TAYLOR was very accomodating and communicative. He gave a great price for the work he did and he blasted it so fast. I was very impressed. It was a semi-large piece for one sitting and it's healed already. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who appreciates the beauty of a walk-in tattoo going perfect. read more

I got my first hand tattoo here. They assigned me to Taylor when I said it was a hand tattoo. The end result was really good, but I had to argue for an hour with him to get what I wanted. When he drew something and I said that I would like "that line extended more," this side to match the other", he appeared very offended, He kept saying that "he wanted to give me exactly what I want," but then also kept questioning my design and suggesting something different. When I said I wanted it this specific way, he said "i tattoo better when I'm allowed to design and tattoo freely." He questioned me a lot about my design. Because of that, i wouldn't come back here again. Edit. 3/9/23 The tattoo is healing great and I took his advice about using coconut oil to moisturize the tattoo, and Dr. Bronner's hand soap to wash the tattoo. Turns out, coconut oil is a pretty effective (yay!) and cheap (double yay!) way to keep the tattoo moisturized and help it heal. I would come back here to get my fingers tattooed to finish the design. I'm willing to put up with minor douchebags if the work is good, I'm willing to admit that. read more

If you want American traditional, this is a great place. I'm not saying that their staff can't do other styles, but that's definitely their specialty. Just make sure you go over the design for any errors before hand because I have found that at times things can get lost in translation. read more

Joy Martin is awesome and so talented! i'm shocked she doesn't have any reviews on here yet. she did a large custom hummingbird tattoo on my leg in merely 2 hours. it's healing well and i'm already itching to work with her again. the tattoo shop itself is currently my favorite in SF. super laid-back vibe, everyone is really nice, and no pretentiousness. i think it'd be a welcoming place for getting your first tattoo. read more

5 STARS! Super awesome staff with great flash. I've gotten tattoos here from Grass and Jesse and they've healed great. They both checked in on me during the process to make sure I was comfortable and happy and provided great after care advice. Also shout out Claudia for making tea for me during the cold day. Above and beyond service! Yippee! read more

Very friendly staff and accommodating considering such a last minute request. Highly recommend the folks over here. Very clean work and had brilliant suggestions to incorporate into my initial request. read more

Claud's attention to detail is unmatched. Super professional, very satisfied with the end result. Will be coming back with friends next time! read more

This review is long overdue, but Jeannie Marie is amazing! I wasn't able to get my tattoo done the first time I visited because the artists were all booked that day, but Jeannie Marie was able to squeeze me into her schedule for the following week. Despite the shop being closed for vacation, she assured me she was free and would be more than happy to do my tattoo--which was awesome because I was really trying to get one last tattoo done in the city before moving back to SoCal! Many, many thanks and props to Jeannie Marie for being super accommodating. Communication with Jeannie Marie was also super easy; she transferred my ideas of the design from email onto stencil really well, and I'm overall in love with the end product. Like, IN LOVE in love. I love it, my family loves it, my partner loves it, strangers love it--it's a work of art! During the actual tattooing itself, she was just really freakin' great. She's meticulous; I really appreciate her being patient with redoing the stencils to make sure that the design lined up straight with my leg. We also had conversations about anything and everything: family, personal favorites, abortion, politics--it was just... really freakin' great, and it made the session (and pain) go by really fast. Brownie points for the cute and clean ambience of the shop, too! read more

Tuesday Tattoo - Done by Jeannie Marie! - Tattoo Near Me - San Francisco, California

This past Sunday I got my first tattoo. After doing some research and low key Insta stalking, I found Jeannie Marie and I emailed her with my questions and the story behind the tattoo I wanted. I got the name of my late brother tattooed on my arm, so it was important that I made a connection with someone. When she sent me a photo of her adorable pooch, I knew we were a match. I was really nervous and was totally psyching myself out - it was hilarious as a dude was there getting a huge calf tattoo like no big deal and I was this close to tears. Jeannie made me feel calm and at ease, as well as the environment of the whole place. I walked away feeling amazing. Already planning my next one - I highly recommend! $100 deposit and minimum charge. PS. Jeannie has an adorable infectious laugh read more

Had my first tattoo done here years ago. Love it! Jesse made quick work of it. Studio was cozy and peaceful. Would visit again.

I recently got two smallish tattoos from Jeannie Marie. She was super accommodating when I kept changing the design of my tattoo. I drew a couple things that I was deliberating about getting and she worked with both designs helping me decide which would work the best. During the actual tattooing she was super sweet, we had fun conversations and I honestly didn't really ever think about the pain! Yay Jeannie! On a side note: the actual building is super cute and really clean. All the artists there are friendly, def coming back for more. read more

I wanted to get tattoed for a long time and finally around my 30s, with the encouragement of a friend, I was finally brave enough. Now I have a full on addiction and I can't imagine going to anyone other than Jeannie Marie. She is such an amazing and talented artist, down to earth and just makes you feel at ease. Getting a tattoo from Jeannie feels therapeutic. I am super thankful I was referred to her for my first tattoo and hope to be working on my fifth one in the near future. She also breathed new life into my husband's old tattoo. He had gotten one as a teenager he had been wanting to improve. Jeannie listened to what his ideas were, added her own magical touches, and we both love his tattoo! We are fans for life! read more

this shop is really great and close to the water. super old school tattoo parlor but there is definitely a good mix of different tattoo styles present. personally recommend Shona(@skeletonvelvet). my partner and i have gotten three tattoos between the two of us from them. best artist i've been to in CA and they are extremely talented. already lined up to get more! read more

I have many tattoos from all over San Francisco. While there are certainly talented artists at this shop... my experience was terrible. I wish Jeannie Marie had simply said she didn't want to tattoo the design I asked for. Instead she fought me on every decision. Was incredibly arrogant. Used the wrong color (which I couldn't tell until she sat up and it was half filled in). And that color wasn't even close to what it was in the picture taped up for her to use as a reference. Is she color blind? Or was she being passive aggressive and just thought "F- this client"? Or did she simply not care? The other colors on the rest of the tattoo were very shoddily filled in. To be fair, the small voice inside my head, kept telling me to walk away prior to the tattooing. And I didn't listen. And I own that. On my way out she said touch ups were free but I wouldn't need em. Welp... I certainly didn't need them from her. There's no trust there that she'd fix her botched work. I paid a different artist at a different shop to fix it as much as it could be. Jeannie next time don't agree to do a tattoo that you feel is beneath you. Don't leave a permanent reminder of your arrogance and disdain. Too bad b/c your book has a lot of amazing work. I likely would have been back. But now? yeah... nope. read more

TOTALLY OVERPRICED!!! Watch out!!! $200 an hour, even for the apprentices! "Taylor" took my $100 deposit on his private cell phone and refused to refund my deposit, once I canceled my appointment. DEPOSITS ARE CONVENIENTLY NON-REFUNDABLE!!! They leave that part out, in the initial consultation... FYI... read more

One day while hiking in beautiful Big Sur, CA, my roommate and I stumbled upon a beautiful meadow with tons of California Poppies in it. "Wow, what a great idea for a tattoo," Sasha said. "That would be such a nice way to commemorate California," I replied. And that's how it started... Jesse Tuesday has got to be the nicest tattoo artist I have ever met. He made my roommate and me feel so welcome in his shop! He's the owner of the shop, and the only artist currently working in it, which means there's not so much hustle and bustle. The atmosphere is very laid back and friendly. No pretension at all. Big props for fitting us into his schedule on short notice. We called last Wednesday, the 26th, and got a slot for today (Weds, April 2). As a first timer, I was actually more excited than nervous. I went first since we were short on time and I am leaving San Francisco relatively shortly. I laid down on the table and THAT'S when the nerves kicked in. I needed Sasha to hold my hand. I had to wrap my arms around a pillow and wince in pain. And it felt like as soon as it started, it was over. And my Poppy was done. It's BEAUTIFUL! He finished both our Poppy tattoos with at least a half hour to spare before his next appointment. Sasha's is a bit bigger and more full, also STUNNING. His shading is amazing. His detail is gorgeous. I could not be happier! I have a lot more ideas in mind for future tattoos, and I hope I can return to Jesse. Highly recommended. read more

Okay, Candi is seriously the best! I first talked to her, I believe, on the first weekend of July to set up an appointment to start on my sleeve. She broke down the pricing and how the process should be when I come in to get started. I gave her $100 to put down as a deposit that would go toward the price. Fast forward to September 8 for my appointment with Candi. It was my birthday and she was so excited to get started on my sleeve. She was able to get the stencil ready within an hr, but the process to actually put the stencil on took another hr. I did not mind this, only because we were going for the full sleeve outline and I knew she wanted it to be placed perfectly on my arm. That is essentially how you know you have a great artist in your hands because they want to make sure it looks good and not wonky on your body. During the process, we made conversation and I also chatted up with the other artist Jill in the shop. They were both so easy to talk to that it actually took my mind off the pain going on in my arm. Candi always made sure that I was comfortable and to let her know if I needed to stop. It took her 2 hours to do the whole outline of my arm and she did a great job! I cannot wait to keep coming in to finish up this sleeve. I will update as soon as I start my journey to complete my sleeve! TIP: They do accept cards on transactions over $200, so cash is usually preferred if it's less than that. ALSO DO NOT FORGET TO TIP YOUR ARTIST!! read more

Reviewing artist Jeannie Marie! How to begin?! Her beautiful personality, her laugh, her artistic abilities, her gentle hand, her clean environment, her calming presence, her fun presence!!! All of it!! She's absolutely wonderful. My best friend and I came in together to get matching tattoos after being best friends for over 15 years. We planned this last minute and literally walked in saying "we want these owl feathers and want them to be light and whispy." Lol what a detailed description....but Jeannie came up with the most delicate, simply, classy, and beautiful design! Our tattoos came out amazing and we had such a wonderful time laughing our buttholes off. I can't wait to go back and get more work done by Jeannie next time I visit my BFF from Los Angeles! read more

This place is amazing! I talked to my cousin about where I should get my tattoo and he recommend Tuesday Tattoo. I took a look at the site to see the artists' works and I knew Jessie had the style I wanted for my tattoo. Before I went in I emailed Jessie my tattoo concept. When I went in he had a drawing for me and he included all the details I wanted. The tattoo shop super close to an atm and a coffee shop which is convenient because paying in cash is extra appreciated there (and my cousin told me you should always tip your tattoo artist!) and if you wanna grab something quick to eat or drink Trouble Coffee Company is a door over. Inside the tattoo shop is an amazing atmosphere! I love the beach/vintage feel to it and the music they play is super chill. The process of getting the tattoo was a great experience! Before we began, Jessie told me I could get up and stretch whenever I needed to and offered me water as well. At the beginning I mentioned I was an art major at the beginning of the process and Jessie started talking about his experience with art, which was super interesting. It was also a nice way to get my mind off the pain. Throughout the process Jessie would let me get up and check out how things were looking and it was nice to see everything come together. He even helped me choose a color for my tattoo when he finished the shading and it definitely turned out to be the right choice. At the end of my tattoo I started getting light-headed. Jessie gave me water and I pulled through the rest of the tattoo and fortunately it didn't take that long to finish. When I got up to look at the tattoo I almost fainted and Jessie grabbed me a juice box to get my blood sugar up. When I felt well enough to get up and rest in a chair, Jessie stayed next to me and gave me a cold compress. He didn't even rush me to get up and let me take my time. So overall my experience at Tuesday Tattoo was an enjoyable one! I would recommend everyone I know to this tattoo shop and DEFINITELY PAY CASH! The people in the shop are super nice, their customer service is superb, and the work they do is badass! read more

This review is for the amazingly talented Jeannie Marie! This was my first time ever coming to Tuesday Tattoo and seeing Jeannie for artwork and let me just say you will not be disappointed! I got a pretty huge piece done from my shin up to my upper thigh! Each session was amazing from start to finish and each session got better and better! I got so many compliments on even just the outlining! 3 sessions later and I'm absolutely in love with the work I had done by Jeannie! She's a true artist and you can tell she is so passionate about her work! If you're looking for an amazing artist and such a sweet person Jeannie is your girl!!! Thank you Jeannie!!! read more

Really cool and fun tattoo shop in the outer sunset. You can tell from the art on the walls and the vibe that this is a special place and every part of my experience from start to finish was great. Got my first ever tattoo from Kelsey who was funny, patient and made me feel like a collaborator on the whole process. We went over my idea and she gave me some tips and advice on where it would look best, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and her creativity and skill really shine through in the final product. She really went above and beyond. Every time I see my tattoo in the mirror I'm so happy with how it turned out. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo don't hesitate to come here, you really can't go wrong. read more

"There's a bathroom through through that door. Or Narnia" - Sam McWilliams We all know and love Jesse, and when I first came out, I was ready for him. But talking to Sam, I really tuned into her vibe: charming and chill, she seemed like a perfect match. One look at her work, and I was sold. Using Russian folk art as a figuartive base, Sam sketched up the most amazing design I could have imagined. With her rough strokes and sharp edges, she made my "bear in the city" a gorgeous reality. For design ingenuity, she'd get five stars, and on talent alone, she'd be worth the price. But where some artists let their egos take hold, Sam keeps it cool. Easy, funny, and smart as a whip, she is totally down to earth---a great person to hang out with for a three-hour sitting. An utter pleasure, with a great eye for the aesthetic, Sam is one of the best---ain't no doubt about it, kids. read more

Tuesday Tattoo - Sam's preliminary sketch - Tattoo Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been wanting a tattoo for a long time and I finally bit the bullet today. I looked at several Yelp reviews, and Tuesday Tattoo stood out the most. I visited the shop about over a month ago and the staff were very friendly and did not put any pressure on me. I went back to Yelp to look at other places, but I wanted a place with 5 stars and I wasn't seeing that anywhere else. Plus I really liked Hannah Wednesday's art, so I made an appointment to see her. I wanted a tattoo of the sun that's on the Philippine flag and incorporate the red star from the California flag. I doodled here and there, but I couldn't really visualize what I wanted. Plus, my roommate's boyfriend scared me into thinking the red star could be mistaken for something political..... But what Hannah came up with eased my fears. I really liked how she incorporated the two together, and once it heals, I'll post a picture. Hannah was also really accommodating to both my roommates who came for emotional support as this was my first tattoo. She brought out chairs, and I just meditated through the pain. She even apologized for not being talkative as my tattoo took concentration. When it was almost finished, my roommates asked how I was doing and I told them that I was starting to shake. Hannah and Candi got me a juice box to help with my blood sugar. If you really want a tattoo, I highly suggest checking this place out. Everyone is really nice and can lend an artistic hand if you're like me and can't envision what exactly it is you want. And the deposit is $100 which goes towards your tattoo. read more

Jesse is awesome, he's such a sweet guy! And his art's incredible. Originally his first free appointment was April 7th but by calling a few times as they suggested, my friend managed to get into one of his cancellations at the last minute. I went with a friend to recently and despite her perfectionism and attention to detail, he was patient to all her little tweaks as they were finalizing the specific location on her wrist and tiny adjustments to the design as he was tattooing her. As per his suggestion, she got her bird design in black and grey vs. a solid black silhouette, to give it a more "organic" feel. As the skin's been healing since then, the grey shading has become more obvious and it looks amazing. Only thing is he didn't give any sort of indication of time - good that he was taking his time on the design and being meticulous (though he did fully stop a few times as he was talking to us), but when all was said and done the tattoo cost $160! A little unexpected as the minimum is $100 for an hour (and the tattoo's tiny - 2" by 2" at most) - not that we thought he was miscounting at all, but it would've been nice for him to maybe let us know when an hour was up so we knew every minute was being counted. read more

Five stars isn't enough for this place. Can I give it ten? I shopped around other tattoo shops in the City but came back to Tuesday Tattoo. I live nearby and the vibe of the shop fits the area and my psyche. It's simultaneously laid back and professional, which is a hard thing to pull off while at the same time being inviting, accommodating and personable. It's really a testament to how genuine the shop is, with no pretension or attitude to speak of. Jesse is doing all my current work but I would not hesitate to have Hannah or Candi scar me permanently with their work. Perhaps when my arm is done I'll save my pennies for a few years and give the ladies a crack at the abundant canvas I have remaining. But for now Jesse is the creative genius. I came in with a vague idea about what I wanted (a collage of San Francisco images) and Jesse got to work assembling the pieces. I don't even remember how many sessions I've had over nearly the past year, but it's coming together nicely. Jesse even takes time to come up with insanely whimsical ideas that I'd never think of in a million years, but somehow fit my personality (for instance, what I'm calling the 'Our Yoda of Guadalupe' image on my arm, that's all Jesse.) Jesse is also very talented, artistic, talkative, funny and personable. He remembers my name when I come in. This isn't my first tattoo rodeo but I've also seen him with others and if he were not a tattoo artist, he'd make a great crisis negotiator. This is hands down the best shop I've ever been to, and I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I originally gave Jesse a 5 star review due to my initial excitement. Several months have passed and I've since gotten half way through an awesome back piece by another artist at another shop and that has unfortunately highlighted the laziness and/or lack of technical prowess in my piece from Jesse. That being said Jesse as well as the other artist were very nice and inviting, I just can't recommend for anyone looking for top tier work. read more

Free touch-ups though if needed. read more

This shop is one of the best I have ever been to and had just the best experience at. I had an appointment with Candi to get my dad's handwriting saying "love you" off of an old birthday card. A few days before I emailed her and asked her what she needed from me and immediately when I came in she thanked me for emailing. We went over what I wanted to do and the placement- she wanted to know exactly what I wanted. As she was working on me she constantly made sure I was comfortable. She was even looking at his handwriting because she wanted to get the energy right. Even though it was a small one, she knew it was very important to me and really that is invaluable from a tattoo artist. read more

Tuesday Tattoo - By Candi - Tattoo Near Me - San Francisco, California

I recently went in for a tattoo. The design is by the original artist Micah Ulrich. My appointment was with a newer artist to the shop, Shona Crawford. Let me tell you, from when I stepped into the shop everyone was super nice and chill. For my tattoo I wanted a large chest piece. I discussed with my artist different ways to make it fit the idea in my head. I was open to if it didn't sit right then I could place it elsewhere. However, when we applied the stencil, my artist made it fit perfectly and we did not have to change it. Shona made sure everything was lined up and as symmetrical as possible. They even corrected parts of the stencil that I didn't notice weren't centered. Inside the shop it was small and I was pretty exposed (I was covered where it mattered and I was 100% okay with not having a shirt on), but everyone made me feel comfortable. We got the line work done and I am extremely excited to return and complete the tattoo! I have already recommended this shop and artist to a friend. I will 100% be back (even after my tattoo is completed). read more

I had a very comfortable and welcoming experience for my first tattoo!

I made an appointment with Candi to have a quote placed on my ribs. I sent her a few emails with the quote, and a couple photos with the kind of style and font I wanted so that she could get an idea of what I wanted. When I came in for my appointment, she had a couple of styles ready for me to choose from and it was perfect. For the actual procedure, she was patient and considerate, and even put up a partition for my privacy between her work area and the door. She would check on me to see if I needed a break from tattoo gun- I didn't- but it was nice to know that she was making sure the entire process was comfortable for me. I will return for more work from Candi in the future. Thanks again- and I love my new tattoo. read more

Fantastic. Hannah did all my work so far. Very deft with color. There was something zen about a gay man being tattooed by a woman who favored feminist rock while I was crying during parts of the Scorpion and all of the blue star.

We did the entire scorpion in one session instead of two. read more
