Good to know before you book

  • Larger Japanese pieces are usually booked across multiple sittings — plan for at least two visits.
  • Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
  • Walk-in availability isn't always posted online — a quick phone call is the fastest way to know if they can fit you in today.
  • Calendars tend to book several weeks out — reach out as early as possible if you have a target date.

If you haven’t checked out Red Skull Tattoo I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! I am absolutely blown away with the work Christian Reveles did! Had the honor of having him add some more cherry blossoms onto my sleeve and he even touched up and fixed the ones I currently had, after I saw the finished product of the ones he fixed I was shocked, definitely not what I was expecting he made them look so similar to the fresh ones he had already done! He went above and beyond any expectations I had!! If you get lucky enough to have the pleasure of getting him to do your tattoo I promise you won’t regret it!! They are the best here and you can tell they take pride in their work no doubt!! If I’m ever back in the area you bet I’ll be making another appointment with them! Sooo in love with my new piece!!! ❤️❤️

I’ve been a satisfied customer of Rene Chavira for over 15 years, and every tattoo I’ve gotten has exceeded my expectations. He takes the time to listen to your ideas, make you feel comfortable, and turn concepts into beautiful, detailed artwork. The shop is always clean and welcoming, and their professionalism shows in everything they do. I’ve received endless compliments on my tattoos, and I proudly tell everyone who my artist is. Rene is the best in the business!

Its been years since I've had any work & needed some touch ups and additional work, had some other shops in town over priced and some steal my down payment for an estimate, never returned a call or text. I found Red Skull just driving by, walked in & met with Rene who without question put any doubt or worry away and we got to work. He's been excellent, patient and always follows up with everything. Would highly recommend this place for anyone looking, Rene & his team are the best!!
