Forever Tattoo

This is the place to go for the best tatt in sac hands down!!! Their colors are bright and my tattoo healed up no problems im goin back every month till my sleeve is complete. cant wait to get it done the guys are cool and take care of business!!!

Man I love this place! Granted I only see Tim, but that’s not because I don’t like any of the other artists here, he was just the first guy my wife and I have seen here. So we stick with what we know!
Tim is super cool! I almost pass out at the beginning of every tattoo I have! I get an adrenaline rush, break out in a sweat, and 10 mins later we are good to go. Time never rushes me or makes me feel like an idiot. Very professional.
I have recommended this show a few times to friends, the prices are not outrageous. Nice staff, good work… repeat customer!

Got a long awaited tattoo last night and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We loved the welcoming environment of Forever Tattoo and the excellent job Ian did. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great, easy and professional experience.

Brent did my a touch up on my half sleeve. The time just flew by. I will definitely be back!

Just got some work done from Ian. Super chill environment. Awesome artists. Super stoked about my newest piece and we’ll be booking appointments there again.

Anybody that rates this place less than 5 stars is a dumbass and doesnt belong get a tattoo. Legit shop for all work but traditional is my thing. Everyone here rocks Ian is my dude. RIP Chris Danley

Came here for my first tattoo it was done by Ian Carder! He is AMAZING at what he does, he was very reassuring also, he kept me in loop about what he was doing! He has a very light hand!
The shop was kept very clean and sanitized! One of the cleanest I’ve been too! All needles are sterile and open out of package
Will definitely be coming back if I decide to get another tattoo

So happy that I chose to go to Forever for my tattoo. Brent was my artist and he did a great job and gave me exactly what I wanted. Can’t wait to go back!

I definitely would recommend Forever Tattoo. I specifically wanted to work with Eiland Hogan based on some previous work he did for others.
I came in with an idea of what I wanted, showed Eiland some photos and he drafted a tattoo that was exactly what I wanted. I scheduled an appointment two weeks out, and after two visits Eiland finished my tattoo.
Eiland was very friendly, accommodating and professional. Also, the shop is very clean.
I will definitely be a returning customer.

Ok so I never write reviews on Unilocal,but I felt overwhelmingly compelled to do so after my day today at Forever Tattoo.
I was told to come by this shop by a friend who has had work done here. When I walked in the sweetest girl was working the desk, I forget her name (I’m sorry) but she greeted me with a smile and helped me as best she could (she was new). Timpac came up to me right away, I told him I was looking for someone to start a sleeve for me on Wednesday if they could (today is Sunday). He gave me a time available and the artist’s portfolio to check out. I was bummed that guy wasn’t there because I did want to talk to the artist before making a deposit. Well Tim came back to let me know he had an appointment available that night and boy was I glad he did.
Timpac treated me great from the moment I walked through the doors till the time I left. He worked with my ideas, incorporating some of his own to help me with what would look best but still staying true to what I wanted. Didn’t mind adjusting some sizes and position in the least bit. Just an awesome guy.
I am beyond satisfied with the end result, I can’t wait for it to heal and I can’t wait to come back and get some more work done by Timpac! You’re crazy if you don’t talk to this guy if you’re in the market for an artist!

This place is awesome. I got 4 fairly big tattoos and 1 touch up done here by Timpac and Chris (Chris moved so he is no longer here). I definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I had a couple of my friends go here and they love their tattoos. The tattoo artists are great and the price seems pretty fair to me. Not too expensive for the amount of quality. The prices have gone up recently tho from when I first came here about 4 – 5 years ago (makes sense tho haha). Still, this is a shop that I will keep going back to and will tell people who ask me about tattoos to go to.

We have had Forever Ink tattoo most of my Family members and every time the work has been really clean and spot on

I first walked into Forever Tattoo 10yrs ago and met Eiland Hogan and asked if he could cover up a horrible tattoo I got at 18 with some sassy cherries! He did a great job and 10yrs later I decided I wanted another! The fist place I thought to go was «Forever Tattoo» and the person I hoped to get was Eiland. As it turned out I was in luck! I gave Eiland a picture I liked and with his vision he created something AMAZING! Then it came time to actually do it and I was terrified! But Eiland and his Crew were the best! Before I knew it I was laughing and smiling — 4hrs past and once I saw the final product I was SOLD! If anyone out there is even considering a new tattoo or just another one «FOREVER TATTOO» is the place to go — there is no other!!!

I first went to Forever Tattoo about 8 years ago. Timpac fixed a very large lower back tattoo for me. Then I went back to him for a large tattoo up my side about a year or two later. He’s amazing with color, I swear. It’s not super-​duper intricate but it’s beautiful and it still looks brand new after six years. Now I’m going back for another large piece. He’s probably the nicest, friendliest, and one of the most talented tattoo artists I’ve ever met. I highly recommend this place. I’ve seen work by the other artists and it’s incredible as well. I’ve talked to other people who have been there and they have the same results — long lasting, beautiful tattoos.
I don’t understand the complaints. So they don’t take walk-​ins. That tells you that they are so in-​demand that they CANT take them! Timpac was booked three weeks out because he’s THAT good. And they only take cash. So? If you don’t have the available cash on hand then maybe you shouldn’t get a tattoo. Just saying…

So anyone who complains about this place is full of *ish. Nicest people and down to draw, and re draw, and redraw your tattoo until you’re happy.
Timpac is awesome I’ve had two tattoos done by him as of today and I couldn’t possibly be any happier with them!
Was there with my mom getting matching tattoos for 5 hours and it went by so quick! Staff is super nice and personable, and they really do care!
Stop complaining people: p this shop is amazing!

So I had an existing tattoo on my left arm and to finish it. I saw Timpac which is awesome. The fact that he did this free hand and before a certain time (cuz babysitter couldn’t pick up kiddos). He was so precise and exactly what I wanted!
The atmosphere is very friendly and this is my second tattoo from them, now working on my other arm!
Timpac is very nice and understanding.

i never write Unilocal reviews, but i guess i should.
i’ve been going to this shop for almost 10 years now. it’s the only shop i go to.
the artists are amazing. their portfolios and art work speak for themselves. my family and i frequent ian and tim but all the guys have great stuff.
besides great work, the guys are pretty cool. always down for «interesting» conversations and ig photo ops. totally suitable for a man crush monday too.
i could go on and on but i won’t.
cheers to those boys and their shop!

I am really glad I discovered Forever Tattoo, having just moved to the Sac area. They are professional, nice, and great artists.
I had work done here recently, although the artist that did my work was doing a guest spot. His name was Chris Sawyer (from 808 Tattoo in Hawaii), but he does do guest spots here a few times a year, he said.
I observed the work by the other artists, however, and plan to schedule Timpac to do my next piece, granted Chris isn’t back in CA.
Their pricing is reasonable — before I was given an estimate I already had a number in my head that I thought my tattoo was worth, and it was the exact price I was given ($ 400 for a large arm piece that took 2.5−3 hours).
I am definitely returning here for my next piece! I can’t wait!

I have to start be saying that I’m surprised to see this place with anything less than 5 stars…
I read some of the 1 stars and I actually laughed because the complaints are the exact opposite of why I recommend people to this shop time and time again.
I’ve never personally seen anyone in this shop cop an attitude with anyone at the counter… They are soft spoken, genuine, engaged and always interested in their customers — walk-​ins especially. They will straight up stop tattooing for a moment to help someone if they have to.
The girl at the counter (with «the check piercings») is Anna, and that chick is far from a bitch… She schedules appointments and even calls a day prior to confirm! I’ve never had a tattoo shop do that before. It’s great to see a tattoo shop operate like an actual business. They have their game together.
I have about 100 hours of work and I’ve been to lots of shops. I’ve come across places that come at you like you’re a chump and they’re the almighty tattoo God Nazi that decides your fate — «No tattoo for you!»
THAT WILL NOT BE YOUR EXPERIENCE AT FOREVER TATTOO.
My advise: always walk-​in, but clear your day. If they can’t get you in it’s because they are scheduled up for the day. OR make an appointment… that would pretty much eliminate any chance of you not getting tattooed (genius).
These guys have loyal repeat customers and they get booked up fast. True sign of good work right there. Everyone wants work done by Forever.
I have been getting tattooed by Chris since 18… Almost every compliment I get on my work is on a tattoo this dude did for me.
Ian did some LEGIT touch-​up work for me on tattoos he didn’t even do for me. I will for sure be getting more work from both of these guys.
I don’t know Brent or Eland personally, but I’ve been around them in the shop plenty of times. They are straight up guys and from what I’ve seen, they’d never want a walk-​in to leave with a bitter taste in their mouth about Forever.

I love the environment here, good tunes and great vibes. Ian is the coolest cat ever. He’s done four tattoos for me. When I come in with an idea he makes it ten times cooler than I expected. When I travel people ask who has done my work. I tell em Ian at Forever Tattoo in Sacramento.
Ian is not only a cool cat, he’s also in the rap game and can throw down a track!
Everyone in shop is super cool. See ya soon Ian!
