Two Cranes Tattoo

Mario was fantastic, I feel that he really listen to what I wanted and drew a piece that I…read moreabsolutely love. It was a cover up that was important for me to move forward with new memories. His conversation was interesting and I felt like I'd known him for a while, not just meeting him for the first time. His studio was clean and decorated cool. I felt very comfortable. I highly recommend Moth and Dagger. I can't wait to go back and get more work done. If I could rate a million stars I would! Thank you Mario

20+ Year Client Review / Context: This custom piece was…read morespecifically commissioned as a hooded Nephilim. Instead, Mario drew it up as a long-haired angel. When I brought up the hair to find a middle ground on the design, he took offense, erased the hair off the stencil, slapped the bare head on, and rushed the outline onto my skin. After that session, he completely cut contact--ignoring studio calls and direct messages while leaving the piece unfinished and continuing to post new flash online.

This is what I wanted.

I'm so incredibly pleased with the final result and we had some great conversations that made the couple hours I was there fly by. The shop itself was clean and welcoming, vibes were off the chart great and the playlist was fire too. If you're looking for an incredible tattoo shop in SF look no further - Chris is a beyond top notch artist and Tattoo Boogaloo is as good as it gets. I'm already planning the next one!

I am immensely grateful for her talent and ability to read the situation and talk me through the process. I would highly recommend her!

I just got home from seeing/working with Sasha so this review is hot like fresh baked bread…read more Where to start? Okay so 15 years ago I had surgery on my chest (keyword: transman, ftm, transguy, transgender male, you get the idea) and my nipples did not stay in tact. They actually feel off in front of me in the shower with the scabs. What a nightmare. Reconstructing new nipples was not possible or ideal with my surgeon so I've been living with flat nipples and discolored areolas for the last 15 years. I really thought I had NO hope until I found Sasha. Angels sing please, wait for it and rejoice. I've been wanting to do 3D nipple tattooing and areola re-pigmenting for awhile but was 1. not in the best state of health and 2. very very very nervous. Well today, we finally made this happen. I got an appointment schedule over a month in advance. I put down a $100 deposit via Pay Pal. I waited and panicked and then the big day came. I got a ride down to SF. Sasha's shop is on the 17th floor of a building in Union Square. There's a parking garage a block away. It cost $35 and gets you up to 12 hours in the lot. You are not going to find street parking so if you're driving you will want to fork out $35 and be happy your car is safe with only a block to walk! Sasha gave me complete instructions and directions ahead of time. She is VERY professional and organized with her scheduling and timing. The office she works out of is awesome! The entire office and outdoor patio (with wild beautiful birds and parrots might I add) has a total zen approach. The front desk folks were also REALLY NICE and totally trans/queer friendly. Sasha's room was very clean with a sitting area for guests. She was extremely polite, patient, compassionate and thorough to walk me through the ENTIRE process and 1. give me voice throughout it all and 2. check in frequently to see how I was doing. Nipple and areola shopping is quite fun! I got to pick the size, shape and color variation to design on my chest. Boom! I feel so Hollywood now ;) She is extremely sterile and showed me ALL the needles she was using before and as she was using them. Everything from the office, her station, the tattoo bed, frequent changing of gloves, packaged needles, organized ink palettes, fresh paper towels, rubbing alcohol, ETC were CLEAN. I really appreciated how intuitive she was like when I held my breath during bits of pain and she could feel me tense up and gently remind me to breathe. I was excited and anxious and nervous and emotional all at once but she eased me through EVERYTHING. May I also include she has a gentle hand so the needles don't feel like they are digging deeper than deep like some tattoo artists who put all their weight on their artistry hands. Pain level ... well this boy whimpered some but she did use some topical anesthetic after the skin had been broken into to help ease pain. It DID help some. My results, pre bandaging, were beautiful. The bandaging she used is really neat. It's waterproof and clear like a clear tape. I honestly can't stop staring at my new nips even if things are still bloody and bandaged up! I was given very detailed after care instructions which I will be meticulous about following. I can't wait to see the overall results. I'll be scheduling a touch up/follow up in a 1 1/2 months or so. I look forward to seeing her again! Cost breakdown for ME and what I got done: $700 total... that's $100 deposit then $450 the day of the tattoo and then I will pay $150 during our touch up + tip today and I'll tip again on the touch up. Don't forget to tip. Some artists will say you don't have to, don't listen! Tips for those new nips my friends! TIPS! 100% happy with my experience, actually happy is an understatement. I am enthralled like a unicorn catching rainbows and sprinkling glitter from the sky. Yes, indeed. I will recommend her in a HEARTBEAT to any other trans folks who need this procedure, cancer and mastectomy patients or just anyone in need of this kind of help. I was SO ASHAMED of my chest, a chest I fought so hard to learn to love post surgery but still deeply upset about what happened and the trauma from loosing my nipples to my feet in the shower (yikes, just imagine). Now I can live again. This is part 1 of my chest tattooing process (I'll be doing scar coverage with another artist since Sasha is not taking new decorative tattoo clients at this time) and then I will be free. You deserve to be free too. I hope you will consider Sasha and let her help you change your life, confidence and get your groove back!!!

I recently had the absolute pleasure of visiting Two Cranes Tattoo, and the experience was nothing short of stellar. From the moment my father, sister, and I stepped into the parlor for our walk-in appointments, we were treated like valued guests, rather than mere customers. From the start, the welcoming and friendly staff gave a sense of professionalism that instantly eased my initial anxieties, especially considering it was my first time getting a tattoo. Now, let me take a moment to praise the qualities of Marcus, the exceptional artist who undertook my rib tattoo. Despite the notorious difficulty of this particular location, Marcus showed an impressive level of skill and proficiency. His patience, artistic talent, and professionalism turned what could've been an intimidating experience into a pleasant journey of self-expression. The tattoo was completed efficiently, and the result was nothing short of breathtaking. Marcus genuinely excelled in translating the image I brought into an exquisite piece of art that I'm now proud to wear. The rest of the staff were also incredibly genuine and respectful, making sure we felt comfortable and valued throughout our visit. For anyone considering getting a tattoo in San Francisco, whether it's your first or one of many, Two Cranes Tattoo should be at the top of your list. This tattoo parlor truly represents a unique and personal journey, one that left an indelible mark on me - both literally and figuratively. read more

I think I mentioned to him I wanted a more botanical print/ photorealistic style piece than a stylized, traditional tattoo. Fast forward to the day of the tattoo-- I was nervous about the pain and the final outcome. The process is a process, so it's best to be patient and let the artist do his thing. But there were plenty of moments of fun conversation, and I really appreciated the sterility of the shop. Changing gloves frequently is a must in my book.

The original artist I had in mind didn't work out; he was flaky and unreliable, so I started searching on Instagram for someone new. That's when I came across Tattoo House in SF. I booked a consultation with Amy over a video call, which was super easy and straightforward. She recommended Alex for the style I was looking for, and I'm so glad she did. Alex was INCREDIBLE! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Since my tattoo leans more toward realism, Amy knew he'd be the perfect fit, and he absolutely delivered. Every detail was executed so well. What really impressed me was his efficiency. He completed one side in a single day and the other side on another, which I imagine would take multiple sessions with most artists. But of course you have to sit still through the pain. It's honestly hard to put into words how great he was throughout the process. I'm beyond happy with my tattoo and will definitely be going back to him to finish my sleeve. Don't let any language barrier hold you back (he's Russian), Alex has a strong eye for design and will clearly understand your vision and bring your tattoo together beautifully. Another unique thing about Alex is his approach. He works by referencing the image directly rather than printing and stenciling it onto the skin. He freehands much of the work, and the fact that he can execute something so detailed that way is seriously impressive. Thank you, Amy and Alex, for such an amazing experience. Your expertise truly made it unforgettable!

I am livid, and baffled at how this man thought my back was my side. Its like what do I do now? The tattoo I got doesn't even fit the theme of what going there. Idk how im going to get over this, how do you mistake location? Im just as much to blame cause why wouldn't I check it.
