First time, and going back next wk for a small tat before I move and away from this town. I give it a 5 star for todays visit π
Sim is absolutely amazing. I love his candor. Hes been doing it for 24 years. Hes an extremely talented artist. It doesnt matter the mediumif he has pencil in hand or the beautiful buzzing strokes of tattoo gun. Sim is very professional. After consulting over the best option for a cover up upon our first meeting- he showed me some options. A true artist, he charges by the hour NOT the job. We did a quick discussion over the internet of what I wanted done and he reviewed my plight. We then met personally for an hour. He took a small deposit and scheduled the beautiful work. Sim has an eye for color, shading, and attention to detail. I am 11 hours in. Sim hand mixes some colors while he uses a wide variety of colors.He is extremely conscientious of sterilization and keeps wiping down, wears a mask, as every artist within that close of a space should. I am so very proud to be wearing his body art. He took a terrible situation from an inexperienced artist and has created such a beautiful piece- Im almost not mad at the original artist who still charged me and completely went rogue & off sketch and forgot what the requested product was. Its ok, because it led me to Anchor Rose. If this happens to you, dont feel angry kids- Sim can fix it! Expect to pay a deposit and bring cash only to pay. Other artists who are in the shop take forms of electronic payments. But, cash is king. There is a bank, close by you can hit on your way in, bring extra in case youre lucky enough that his next scheduled appointment rescheduled and you get more chairtime. Because he is scheduled out about 3-4 months. Yup, hes that good. Heres a few pictures of my experience so far. I cant wait to get back in the chair to finish. I have always wanted something big and beautiful but, never found anyone who is this knowledgeable and talented that I could trust. I have 3 others. And after this 3/4 sleeve is done - I have another big cover up/touch up piece on my back to work on. Thanks Sim! #picktherightartist#nobullsh*t#someonethisgoodisworthit#savedtheday#byebyecrappycross#dontgetatatooinlakecountythefirsttime#hellobeautifulflowers#happycutomerβ‘thanksforfixthecrossofshame#byebyetreeonfire#helllorosesandlillies!
What a cool place. Very friendly atmosphere. The staff is greatThey were able to get us in as a walk in.. Mikaila did an awesome job and we were super happy with it. We would definitely recommend
Billy is amazing! My friend and I were on a mission to get a tattoo last minute while we were in the city(we live in Ukiah) and they fit us in 1.5 hours before closing and paired us up with Billy (walk-in appointment). He was amazing, courteous, and payed close attention to detail with everything we wanted. Will be making an appointment for another tattoo soon! Very professional, clean, friendly business. Not bad pricing at all either.
Got a tattoo from Sof today. She was very professional, kind and a wonderful artist!
BILLY IS AWESOME! His attention to detail is amazing, he exhibits calm and understanding vibes, and heβs been a pleasure to work with! We finished part 1 and I made another appointment for part 2 (only the fingers left, ouch!). Canβt wait to come back in and finish this piece!
Friendly staff.Very happy with my tattoo.
My first tatoo but i absolutely had a great experince very friendly
I choose this shop for my Daughters 18th Birthday. A group of us went in to get work done. I called about a week out, and they asked me to swing by and give a deposit (40$) they opened up an hour early to accommodate us.Everyone in the shop was very kind and accommodating of my party. Including the birthday girl 7 of us got tattoos that day.Their professionalism was apparent as they went about their work. I would highly recommend this shop both for the atmosphere and the wonderful artists that have on staff. I didnβt get the pleasure of meeting the owner Mo. But I did note that the staff repeatedly referred to him and made calls for approvals of our party. So big thanks to everyone who was there and Mo for letting us come in and take over the place a bit. We had so much fun- and you will see yβall again
Repeating customer! I got my first large piece done here by Fran (THANK YOU!!) and a smaller piece at their sister store Avenue Tattoo (also a lovely shop!!) and could not recommend them higher. Quick, clean, and professional! Will definitely be back soon π
Great tattoos me and my wife both got one same night walked in 2 hours before close and took us right away
Beautiful work, nice staff, clean shop
The guy that did my girls tattoo, did a great job. Mine on the other hand was not great. I had personal writing in color. It wasnt even offered to slightly enlarge it. Which ok, that could of gone both ways. My gripe is that, it should of been clearly easy to read and nope its not. My color bleed with design and writing. It looks like it was done with a color style needle not a single. Went back to discuss this and suggested by one worker there, that I should get a cover up and try the other side. Lets say, not happy nor going back. At least my girl got a nice looking 21rst tattoo but not the momma.
Iβve gotten 4/5 tattoos at both Anchor Rose and Avenue Tattoo, and Iβve had such good experiences. Definitely recommend both shops. Both are super clean, and have really good artists!
Ive worked with both Fran and Mo. They both were professional, personable and talented with their work. The shop as a whole is clean, bright and an all around comfortable place to get tattooed.
Got a tattoo from John John! He was fantastic! Perfect shading and new exactly what I wanted! Thanks again for my new/first tattoo!
I recently got a tattoo from Tyler, it was A rose that covered up an existing tattoo. My over all experience was great, also the tattoo is beautiful and i have gotten allot of compliments on the work! i have gotten tattooed at their other location as well, Avenue tattoo, i wish i could give them 10 stars! highly recommended
The staff is very patient and will work with you to make sure you get what you actually want. They did a great job with my cousin, who was getting her first tattoo. Heads up though, cash only. There is an ATM down the street you can get cash from though.
I have gone here for my last two tattoos, and it was a fantastic expereince both times! The artist really listened to what I wanted and worked with me to make it perfect, and was willing to adjust the sketch as many times as needed. I got a half sleeve done by Franny and she was awesome!!! Not only is her art incredible, but she was just the right amount of sociable and quiet (which is nice for an introvert like myself). She also has a pretty light hand. The shop is clean and open and super welcoming/not judgemental. Great group of artists, 10/10 will always recommend.
This is the only tattoo shop I like to go to. Theyre always friendly and clean. I recommend everyone to go here!
I got my second ear studs pierced here and I found out my first holes were not even! I was glad they told me this and they made the second as even as they could. I appreciated that.
Everyone at Anchor Rose is like family and even better they treat you as part of that Family! Very warm and entertaining environment
Had a wonderful experience, everyone is kind and fun and Fran is a rockstar! Already looking forward to my next visit! Much gratitude!
Great place and very friendly. Fran did a great job with my tattoo. Highly recommended.
I love my tattoo. It was pretty fast and the price was fantastic
One of my favorite places to get tattooed. Mo is a great guy and runs a great business.
Rigo talked with me for about five minutes and knew exactly what I wanted and within two drafts I had the design for my first tattoos. He was very accomodating and didnt get mad when I asked him to adjust them again and again to make sure they were perfect. Also not crazy expensive
Beautiful work. The shop is super clean and the arisits are extremely talented and friendly.
The Artist was in a hurry, NOT fluent and Spotty. My friend had the same issue with a different artist as well.
Took the wife in for her first tattoo the call was answered by Rico who was as nice in person as he was on the phone and Franny did a great job and was very friendly also.will be coming again for her next tattoo.thank you
I stopped in this studio out of curiosity after seeing some of their work on friends. the shop was great, the artists there were very friendly and open to my ideas, needless to say i got some work done and am very pleased!
Rigo the amigo is a great tattoo artist... very professional and does amazing work...
