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.
  • 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.

Artist caused a blowout. Everyone says the tattoo looks botched. I knew that the needle was being pushed too deep into the skin because my other tattoo felt nothing like it when they were both the same spot just different arms. I went in to address the situation and im not sure who I talked to but they said “that just happens”. No accountability. Tattoo cost me way too much. Tipped a lot to come back to being dismissed. I’m either going to have to get this lasered off or redone. Extremely disappointing. I waited 4+ years to get this tattoo and I should’ve gone somewhere that was more reputable.

Came here for my first ever tattoo after my girlfriend encouraged me to do it. Rosendo was incredibly helpful and explained everything throughout the process, very friendly. If I plan on getting another tattoo, it's going to be from here.
