Good to know before you book
- Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
- Larger Japanese pieces are usually booked across multiple sittings — plan for at least two visits.
- Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.
- Cover-ups are quoted in person — bring a clear photo of the existing piece before requesting a quote.
- 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.

A job well done and I'd gladly return for more tattoos. The price feels right for the years of experience he has as well as the quality of the works he has done. He answered any questions I had and even encouraged me to check out other places but his skills, experience, and works won me over. He was very open minded and welcoming and very organized. Overall it was a great experience for me. I'm very happy with what I got and how it came out and for sure I will recommend others to come check him out. THANK YOU RICO! 🙌
If you’re looking for something unique and inimitable, look no further. I got my first tattoo at La Mancha Tattoos on October 22nd — a cover-up — and I was so impressed with the results that I returned for a much larger piece. Rico is an exceptionally skilled tattoo artist who demonstrates true professionalism, creativity, and charisma. He takes the time to design artwork that is completely unique and personal, making you feel valued and special. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for a tattoo. La Mancha Tattoos has truly earned my trust and loyalty. Truly quality work.
From start to finish, the owner showed professionalism, confidence when figuring out the ideas for my first ever tattoo. I brought him an initial idea and his creativity turned the original idea into something better! There isn’t anything I would change about the final product, especially after my 2nd session. The tattoo looked amazing after the 1st session but definitely go back for the 2nd session if he encourages you to do so, the money is worth it. I’ll be looking to get as much work done by this artist as possible before returning home. The attention to detail is phenomenal. I’ll attach some photos, hopefully the quality of uploads are good.
