“I've had many hours of ink at Old Crow over the years and trust them fully! While there are many tattoo artists in my town, I drive 2 hours to this shop specifically, and will continue to follow them wherever they move. The resident artists are as professional as they are talented, and the guests are just as phenomenal. Thank you Old Crow!“

“Lexx did an amazing job on my tattoo - especially because she freehand did the majority of it because of it being wrapped around my wrist. Tried booking with another artist before Lexx who had difficulty creating what I wanted, but Lexx sat down with me during our consultation and came up with exactly what I'd had in my mind. Love the result.“

“A biiiiggg thank you to Keene for being so gentle with me and catering to my needs.
Ive been designing my art piece for a year now and its my first major piece. This piece meant a lot to me and so i had to make sure whoever does it needs to understand this needs to meet my needs.
Keene understands all of that. It was an impromptu meeting with Berkeley Tattoo. I had just finish a consultation with another tattoo business and was completely turned off by them. It just so happen i was driving past Berkeley Tattoo Parlor and saw their door opened on the top and closed on the bottom. For some reason, it appealed to me and i decided to pull over. As i stepped into the stop, i met Keene. From the moment i met him, i knew i would come back to him.
I strike up a conversation with Keene showing him my design and telling him of my needs. Not only was he welcoming, he was also really respectful and listened to my needs. Although the impromptu consult probably lasted, 15 min, it left a huge impression with me. In less than a week, i requested an appointment with him.
Today, i came in for my tattoo and everything went accordingly. Not only did we pause for breaks, and checked the artwork, there were also some improvisations. Keene communicated with me very well about expectations of recovery and even the process of color changes and such. Though i felt i was nit picking at certain things, he gladly complied.
My tattoo came out more beautiful than i imagined and im in love.
Even though the tattoo took a longer than anticipated, it was very detail oriented and Keene slowed down a bit cause im highly sensitive and getting tattooed hurt more than i anticipated, Keene kept his price he estimated for me from our consultation.
I was able to interact with some of his other fellow colleagues and everyone there was super chill with great attitudes, fun conversation and super hygienic and safe.
Berkeley Tattoo Parlor may not be Art Deco and modern like some of the newer places but it keeps its traditional old school looks with some old school tattoo techniques you dont find much of anymore.
If you want a great deal with great care and great attitudes that comes with it, i highly recommend you to check this place out.“

“I was a walk-in with my sister. Marcos really came through. Gave us some clean tattoos. Honestly probably one of the best artists out there. I wanna get a bigger piece and really challenge him but I think it's gonna be easy for him. The best part was his line work and pressure.“

“Since 2017, I have had the pleasure of getting tattooed from an incredibly talented artist, Andre Malcolm. He not only possesses extraordinary skills but also creates his own ink, which makes him truly unique. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, leaving me with pieces of art that far exceeded my expectations. Andre’s technical prowess is truly awe-inspiring. Every stroke, line, and detail he brought to life on my skin showcased his precision and mastery of the craft. His ability to effortlessly transform ideas and concepts into beautiful, personalized designs is a testament to his talent. Each piece he creates is a unique work of art that tells a story, capturing the essence of my vision with remarkable accuracy. Not to mention, his kind, caring, and jovial demeanor contributed to a relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable experience, making the sessions all the more memorable. So, if you're looking for a remarkable tattoo experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit Andre.“

“This is a fantastic place to get a tattoo! Speth takes it to a whole new level of art! Kind courteous and talented, I'm deeply satisfied with her work!“

“I sent in a request via their online regarding what I wanted done and to see if they could refer me to an artist who would be best. I received a quick response and was setup with George. I scheduled an appointment quickly with George to meet in person to see the artwork I wanted, review any alterations, discuss size, and pricing. When reviewing the schedule he was pretty booked but he had availability the following day (Saturday night) and the following week. Estimated time was around 3 hours. I booked for the next day. Upon arrival George had be fill out the waivers and review the stensile and sizing everything was great. It was only my second tattoo but I felt at ease as I knew George had plenty of experience. We did go a bit longer than estimated but nothing felt rushed. George was focused and thoughtful given the meaning behind the artwork. I think I will be visiting George again for my next piece. Vibe in the shop was great. I didn't talk much but enjoyed listening to the convos between artists etc.“

“Only place I'll let stab me millions of times. Rik and Javi are the best in the buisness.“

“Chummy was awesome. Me and my best friend went there, he was able to finish 3 tattoos total for us in a reasonable time, at reasonable prices, made cleanliness a priority, and he took us as walk-ins. He is interesting to talk to and I felt comfortable asking him to make certain alterations that I wanted without feeling like a burden. It was also my friend’s first time getting a tattoo and he made sure she felt comfortable and could take breaks if she needed. If I get another tattoo while I’m in the area I’ll definitely be returning.“

“Everyone here is so nice and professional and my tattoos and piercings have all healed perfectly and look great! This is my favorite shop in the Bay area.“
