Tattoo Lounge

I didn’t get a tattoo, but I made the appointment for my friend and tagged along. Bill helped up out – he was a bit quiet at first, but warmed up and was a delight to work with. If I were to get a tattoo, I would definitely come here for myself! The space is clean and easy to get to.

Took my 5-​year-​old there yesterday. He wanted a dragon tattoo for his birthday party (turning 6 on 6÷6÷16). The female tattoo artist put 2 stencil tattoos on him and we colored them in at home. He is super happy and couldn’t wait to show them off at school this morning!
THANK YOU!!!

I got my first tattoo today, and I couldn’t be happier. My tattoo is very simple, but it’s very important to me. Besides being my first, it was in commemoration of my brother who passed away last May. I’ve waited to get it for over a year; I was waiting for the right tattoo artist to come along. I’d met with three other ones but no one jived with me. I was actually surprised at how little interaction I got, considering how personal I think getting a tattoo would be. Tattoo Lounge is in my neighborhood and today, when I walked in, I finally got to meet Patrick, who I’d read good Unilocal reviews about.
Besides the great reviews, Patrick was exactly who I was looking for. He lent an ear, put me at ease, and made me laugh. I won’t say the process never hurt, but it was certainly more manageable than I thought it would be, and a lot of that had to do with the ease, comfort and trust I felt under his care.
One question though: why does Patrick ask you to take your pants off if you’re getting a tattoo on your ribs? That was weird.
(I kid, I kid. No pants were asked to be removed in the making of this tat. That was for you, Patrick.)
I will be back to Tattoo Lounge. I already know what I want next!

As many of us do, I searched on Unilocal for the highest rated tattoo places and found this one. I was able to park in front of the building at one of the meters. It was on a Sunday so I waited until after 3pm for the Farmer’s Market to be wrapping up. It was perfect. I walked in and was greeted by Bill. He was so efficient and helpful. I had a word in sanskrit that I wanted and he checked online to verify I had spelled it correctly. As you can see from my picture, the lines are clean and straight!!! I know the foot is not the easiest location to tattoo on because it is so bony and the skin is thin, but Bill had NO PROBLEM with it whatsoever!!! I am more than please and will be seeing Bill again in the near future. Yay!!!

Patrick is one talented man! He did my first tattoo. It was a tiny cat. I’m definitely going to me back to get another one, but I haven’t decided which one to get yet! Seriously. This place is amazing

I got tattooed by Owen J. and it was the best tattoo experience I’ve had. It was actually a spur of the moment thing and he happened to be available. His hand was very steady and super gentle and I didn’t feel much pain. This was the first tattoo I’ve had done where the skin wasn’t so red and puffy afterward. And I’ve been to some pretty big name shops that I’m going to keep to myself. He was a really cool guy and I felt totally comfortable with him. I plan on getting a lot more work done in the future. I’ll definitely be calling him up.

So which do I love more, Patrick or my tattoo? I’m not sure, they are both pretty freakin’ awesome. I was able to snag a same day appointment with Patrick and he made my vision of a pink hibiscus flower come to life (I’ll update my review with pics later on). My favorite tattoo thus far.
The experience with the artist I had was professional, clean, fun and he had a surprisingly light hand. The other artist seemed generally chill, and there were good vibes all around.

Je suis une petite parisienne venu en vacance. J’avais envie de faire mon premier tatouage la bas aux États Unis. Travaillant dans le milieu médical, et étant mon premier tatouage, j’avais besoin d’être sûre de l’hygièné du salon. Et franchement rien a dire, la sympathie des personnes, l’hygièné, les explications, et le travail propre. Ah oui j’ai payée mon tatouage 100 $ soit 77 € mon tatouage en France sa aurait était dans les 150 €. Rien a dire, parfait ! Aucun regret et ravi d’avoir passer le cap la bas. Je recommande !

I love this place! Went for my first tattoo and was lucky to get Kevin. Just dropped in with a vague idea of what I wanted but left with the most beautiful lotus. He was awesome and I feel no pain the following day. Will definitely go back for #2!

I’ve gotten tattoos at a few other places and nothing compares to this one. Clean, open, and most of all friendly. Patrick worked with me and made the whole process as painless as a tattoo could be! I really appreciated how friendly and gentle he was. I’ve had some tattoo artist be snobby with me since I tend to go for the cliché tats, but Patrick was just sweet as can be!
Thanks for making this just the best experience I’ve had!

Patrick was my chosen artist and we hit it off like most hope to have happen on a first date. His caring way and his gentle touch made for a comfortable first encounter. I didn’t even get jealous when he paused to help some girl off the street with some mundane question. For as many times as he poked me, I still left with a smile and I’d happily let him stick me again.

I love everything about this place. John is the best!, so much talent and I trust him. and his opinion. I will be back!,

So, I came in here wanting a small tattoo, like I usually do. But nonetheless Patrick took real good care of me, listening to what I wanted, how I wanted it and gave his input too, which I appreciate because he’s been a tattoo artist for years, I trust his opinion.
I got a small, type writer font, tattoo on my wrist and it didn’t hurt a single bit, not even a sting.[after, it’s only normal to sting] but during the process hed just talk to me and I didn’t even notice when he was done.
He has a nice light hand and doesn’t harshly stab the needle in you.lol. I highly recommend this place – their great reviews def. are not lying.
check their instagram page out too!

Once again, LOVE the tattoo Patrick, I’ll love it even more once the swelling goes down. But it is absolutely beautiful, just what I wanted, i love how parts seem to shimmer and sparkle. You gave me my mom where ever I go! :)

The experience from start to finish was flawless. Patrick knows his stuff.
Like other reviews have mentioned, he was able to take a bunch of descriptions and ideas I had and turn it into a design I really love. I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Go see Patrick! He’s the tits! Not only did he give me an amazing and unique style tattoo but he’s super friendly and professional, I felt very comfortable in this place. I would definitely recommend Patrick to anyone especially for black work. I’ve always loved illustrative tattoos and he hit the ball out of the park on my piece. Will definitely be back soon!

After doing some research on the best place to get a watercolor tattoo I came upon Patrick’s work and fell in love! Booked my appointment came in and ended up getting an original piece painted by him which was awesome! Really the best tattoo artist I’ve come upon and super cool! After getting my water color elephant with him I came back a week later for black ink work and I’m extremely in love with both pieces! Any work in mind ask for PATRICK! The guy with he awesome beard!

Okay so this review is super late. Sorry Patrick.
Anyway, I was itching to get a new tattoo. Problem was that I had all these ideas and no idea how to make it look good on my skin. I really wanted something from The Little Prince that the fox said: «But if you tame me then we shall need each other» in honor of my dog/​fox baby/​love of my life. But have you seen the original illustration for the fox? It is not cute. Not at all. And I had seen so many pet portrait tattoos gone wrong that I was really hesitant to have some cheap imitation of my dog on my skin forever.
I called and Patrick told me to just pop in and we can kick around some ideas. I did that evening, and he was great! He showed me a gorgeous watercolor fox he had done, and I really liked his style. Then he asked to see some pictures of my dog as inspiration, and then said he could totally replicate my baby. He worked with me to put together a drawing, I made some suggestions (a bigger nose, curlier tail, softer expression in the eyes). The whole thing was just so fun and easy. The next weekend, I got it done. He uses natural ingredients and really walks through the whole process with you. I totally recommend him for anyone that is looking for something cool, creative and colorful.

No better feeling than having exactly what you wanted on your body for the rest of your life…
I had been wanting my piece done for quite sometime and was in search of a tattoo artist that was first: skillful enough to handle the details, constant with great black/​grey shading, and overall a real artist. A good friend of mine sent me Jason’s Instagram «SUBVERT1», wow… just so dope!
Right away I made an appointment with him. He can be quite busy, however he squeezed me in when first available (2 months later). Price ~$ you pay for what you get and Jason will let you know about how long it takes & his fee, no surprises. The shop was very clean as well.
I got it done in the morning, shop had just opened and I was the first customer there. Everyone in the shop was very nice and talkative with jokes.
Jason himself was super friendly & outgoing but at the same time very focused. His work is outstanding. Finally, I really enjoyed how he worked in my ideas.
I made a Unilocal account just to share how content I am with my choice.
Thank you

Got my 2^nd piece from Kevin this afternoon. Seriously feels like its already done healing. He did the really thin lines I asked for perfectly and they look great!
Don’t know why I’d go anywhere else but here for ink.

I came to this place with my two best girlfriends in hopes to get a tattoo that represents our friendship. Unfortunately, we all now have brutal scars.
The tattoo «artist,» named William, did the most horrible tattoo I’ve ever experienced. Basic shit job. When I asked for his opinion on style and other things, his responses were short and very unwelcoming. All I wanted was a tattoo that said 201 — it represents a significant chapter in my life — in some sort of beautiful calligraphy. He told me to look up a font on the computer, print it out, and show him. He had no artistic vision even with the simplest concept — numbers. He gave no suggestions and did not contribute any ideas. He didn’t even tell us how to take care of our newly tatted skin. I know how to, but the fact that he didn’t just shows me more of his incompetency.
So, it’s been over a week now and the numbers look blobby and look like little raised charcoals on my arm. This is not normal for a small tattoo. It’s smaller than a travel size toothpaste. Tell me how. Someone can mess up a tattoo so badly, especially after you become licensed/​certified as a tattoo artist.
I’d recommend finding a more qualified person and place. Do your research because this is permanent.
