    this is one of my favorite Zack has done for me, it is over 15 years old and never needed touching up.

    Zack is amazing, he worked on my arms over 15 years ago, and they are still amazing to this day. I just go in and give him a general idea what i want and BAMM he makes magic happen~!!!!!

    He was great to work with, he took into account all the components I wanted in my tattoo and then made it work! I was really impressed at his attention to detail, down to making the tattoo fit perfectly for my body contour. It's been a couple years since I got it, but the color is still vibrant and I get tons of compliments on it. He does amazing work, and is so versatile, I wouldn't hesitate to go back for my next tattoo!

    I wish I could give Zack 50 stars instead of 5. Zack did a lot of work for me for 3 years while I was living in Berkeley. He mostly Japanese inspired pieces in some precarious places like my sternum and chest, the front aand backside of my knee, my shin and my calf. He touched up some older work as well. Every piece was better than the previous piece. I always looked forward to seeing Zack both for the beautiful work he did and for the opportunity to hang out for him for a couple of hours. I have had a lot of work done by many artists but Zack is special. He is talented and kind and generally a very Awesome guy!!!!!

    Zack is amazing! Very good at what he does and chill company. I've gone to him for all my larger pieces and he always makes me happy. Works fast and efficiently. He's laid back, friendly, and makes even the the painful areas to get work done not so bad lol.

    I live in San Jose n Zack came highly recommended to me thru some friends that lived in the east bay . He gave me the prettiest butterfly on my front shoulder . His detail work is the da bomb . He's the best n his personality goes with it as well . I highly recommend Zack you won't be disappointed

    The kitty is NOT his work.. the amazing cover up is!!

    I've been going to Zack for years now and I wouldn't dream of letting anyone else tattoo me!! His work is the absolute best! I give him my ideas for what I want and he always gets it done..and makes it look hella good!! I've never left a session where I wasn't in total awe of my new ink. Besides his amazing work, he's good company! Easy to chat with and the time flys by. I HIGHLY recommend Zack.. you won't regret it!!

    Zack has been my main artist for three years now. He is always patient and flexible, and is always willing to work with you and ensure that you are satisfied with your tattoo. With tattoos being permanent, Zack goes above and beyond to make sure that you don't leave with any regrets. He improvised my half sleeve's design on the spot after I gave him just a few descriptions, and I instantly fell in love with it. Plus, during breaks and down time he makes for great conversation over some coffee and tea. 10/10, would definitely recommend, and I look forward to finishing my half-sleeve with him.

    I met Zack through an old friend/coworker because I was always so mesmerized by the amazing work he had done for her. Zack has done all of my art except for one piece on my side I got way back in college! He does AMAZING work! It's very nerve wracking looking for someone to do your art because it is on your body and you don't want a shitty looking tattoo or pay that much for one you aren't 100% happy with. Before I met Zack I scoured tattoo artists on yelp. I don't really have one style in particular when it comes to my art and I swear Zack can do amazing work with anything! If you are looking for someone to do clean, precise, amazing work you don't have to look any further! People have stopped me in stores, the gym, walking down the street, at work, etc. so they can enjoy my art. No matter where I live I will travel back to Zack when I want another piece! You're making a big mistake if you go anywhere else! Even my mother came down from Seattle to get a tattoo from him!

If you're looking for an artist for some epic florals or sweet fauna, you can stop now, Ella is your girl.

    I found Ally on Instagram and booked an appointment for a coverup tattoo about a month in advance…read more I sent her a picture of my original tattoo and the reference I had drawn to be the coverup. Days leading up to it, I was still very worried because I hadn't seen her sketch yet. The day beforehand, she sent me her sketch and I adjusted it to my liking. The next day was my appointment and I had to call her since the building was kind of hard to find. The studio was very clean and professional. I had never had a professional studio tattoo prior to this visit and I was a little worried about the pain especially because of the stipple shading. Ally had a super light hand and the outline was completely fine, and after the pain spray it was basically numb. Another concern was the healing process and I did notice little black flakes coming off and I was a little worried. After a couple weeks, fully healed, the tattoo looks as good as it was when it was freshly done. The session took less than two hours and I think the price was reasonable. Definitely appreciate Ally being my first studio tattoo experience! Thanks again :-)

    Arie was amazing to work with!…read more I reached out to her via email for a custom design and everything went really smoothly. I sent her lots of reference images and the tattoo she created was exactly what I wanted. Her communication was consistent and she got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. I wanted a fine line design with some ornamental touches and I'm so happy with my result. The studio is very welcoming, clean and comfortable. My tattoo was pretty large for my first one, but I felt fine the entire time and Arie checked on me consistently. Applying the stencil took time, but I'm grateful for that because the placement was exactly what I wanted. We ended up going bigger day of and seeing the piece on my body with a stencil was super helpful in getting it right. I really appreciated Arie's calm demeanor & attention to detail! I get so many compliments on my tattoo, and I'm already planning to come back for more. The healing process was a breeze and my skin was never irritated, even immediately after my tattoo was completed. Highly recommend working with Arie and visiting O Tattoo if you're looking for a beautiful piece, that's done by a qualified, artistic professional.

Sean was referred to me by my sister since our two other friends have gone to him for their tattoos, so I already felt comfortable going to him. Made an appointment through email, sent different pictures of what I wanted, and he was easy to communicate with. When I arrived, he was friendly and accommodating with all the little changes I wanted on the stencils. He made good conversation throughout the entire process, which distracted me from the light pain from the tattoos. For both arms, he said it was a minimum of $80! Such a good price for two tats so I decided to tip him graciously. Highly recommend this place if you want your first tattoo experience to be comfortable.

I saw on Instagram that Sean Perkinson was still doing his thing so I sent him an email letting him know what I wanted. We chatted back and forth and set the date. When I arrived, his warm welcome made me feel right at home. He took his time sizing, and re-sizing to make sure the tattoo fit the area I wanted. Sean made the whole process so comfortable and talking with him was like talking to an old friend. He is such a great guy and talented artist. I will be returning and recommending Sean and FTW to everyone!
