Old Tacoma Tattoo

BEST TATTOO SHOP IN TACOMA ❤️ i got my first tattoo here on my 18th birthday, almost 8 years ago. Andre was just opening the shop. fast forward 8 years and quite a few tattoos later— the shop is filled with the most talented artists, the most BEAUTIFUL art on the walls, and the most loyal customers you’ve ever seen. my wife and i come here for all of our ink. there’s a reason people continue coming back here year after year. Andre, the owner of the shop, has done ALMOST every tattoo i have on my body (25/27 tattoos). he works fast, has a steady hand with clean lines, he’s full of tv and movie knowledge (which helps pass the time during the painful spots), his dry and witty humor is the best, and he’s got SO many years of experience. i feel like there’s nothing this man can’t do. sometimes i feel like i come in with the most absurd ideas, and somehow Andre makes sense of my visions, and then amplifies them x1000000. and he’d never hire an artist he didn’t think could do the exact same thing. so grateful for this shop, for all the memories i have in here, for the beautiful artwork Andre has put on my body forever, and for the guarantee that i’ll always have an honest and professional shop to rely on in tacoma. ink is unmatched. artists are unmatched. old tacoma tattoo is unmatched.

Best tattooing experience I’ve had. Great relaxed friendly chill environment. Had a great time. Beautiful work and very professional. Thanks Andre. Coming up again from Bay Area in April for more ink. Can’t wait. Thx guys.

I've been getting work done by Darren for a number of years now. He is my go-to artist. His appointments are worth the wait in my opinion
