12 - 8PM
Parking is @ Safeway in the post office/fast n' easy lot, 2049 Contra Costa Blvd, Pleasant Hill“First of all. Everyone here was very friendly and amazing. Great conversations.
Mainly. My mom and I got our first tattoos together. I got 3 biggish pieces. All in 1 sitting. And my mom got 4 stars. (In the photos)
I came in a week ago and asked for Nick. I saw alot of people's work by him so I thought I would check his work out. Amazing work. So I booked an appointment for tonight. He was very patient and thorough. My mom changed her mind last minute on a different design and he was very cool about it. No complaints, didn't look mad or anything. So my mom's got done. And she barely felt any pain. Mine on the other had were a bit more painful, but I got through all 3 pieces without a break (besides cleaning and stenciling the next one)
Nick has a very light hand (I've heard horror stories about artists with a heavy hand) anytime he went stood up to get something, he washed his hands and brand new gloves every time. He used atleast 3 to 4 pairs per tattoo we got. He changed out the barriers and cleaned everything thoroughly between each different tattoo. He made sure I was doing ok every few mins. My mom's took about 30 mins and mine took about 4 hours. He gave me a price quote and even though it took extra time because I chose to put 1 of my pieces in a different location and almost doubled in size, and my mom changed her design last min. He still honored the same price quote.
Also my tattoo went on until about 11pm. When they close at 9. He said as long as I was good to go, he was too. And he clearly didn't rush any of it. He took his time to make sure every single detail was in. And even after the tattoo he didn't even rush me to leave while explaining the aftercare. He went over it in complete depth.
I highly recommend this place. And Nick. I will definitely be coming back to him again!!
Cleanliness: Nick made sure everything was clean between each tattoo. Any time he got up to get something, washing his hands and put on a fresh pair of gloves.
Stylist: Nick was amazing. Will be coming back again“
“Walk in, show art, get tattoo. These guys know what they're doing even if they don't know how many years they've been open. Hands-down, some of the most professional and most talented artist I've met.“
“Chris is an great artist. Did my right arm sleeve frome design to all in. Whom I'm coming back for my left sleeve.“
“I had existing ear piercings that I just never got to wearing anything in because I didn’t like the jewelry/the back would hurt so I just wanted to go in and buy jewelry for those piercings- I got flat back dainty studs, and wanted the piercer to measure the threads so I knew what I needed in each piercing along the lobe and cartilage. John did a great job placing my earrings and helping pick orientation of the studs. Dineo (I hope I got her name right!) helped me mix and match a couple of options and pick the right ones. The jewelry is very pretty and good quality. I’ll be back again!“
“I cannot say nicer things about this shop. Not only is the work above expected quality, the artists working there are wonderful and crazy talented. Each one of my experiences here have been unlike any other tattoo shop I have been too. Knowledgeable, patient, kind and the music is always bangin’!!Service: Tattoos“
“Good shop and very nice people to talk to and they have just about everything you looking for. Thanks!“
“This is the only place I ever want to get tattooed at ever again.! Amazing job on my cover up tattoo, absolutely love it. Shoutout to SMOKE my tattoo artist; He took it to a whole new level. The line work on my tattoo is flawless the design is perfect, SMOKE captured my vision perfectly.! The shop has such a great atmosphere and vibe, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. SMOKE, Incredibly talented and friendly tattoo artists with exceptional work . Great experience and would go back for more anytime! Highly recommend!“
“Best tattoo I ever got. If you want quality work done you need to go to Tattoo 925. Kevin was my artist. This is my second piece with him. I am always hesitant to get new work done without a trusted artist, so when I moved back to California a few years ago I didn't get any work done for a while. But I made a friend at the gym that had incredible work done. The style was great and some of the work was several years old and still looked amazing. I asked for his artist and he introduced me to Kevin. I'm not artistic at all so I heavily rely on the artist to help take an idea and make it incredible. The final product exceeded anything I could've imagined.It's also worth noting that the other staff that I met there were friendly and seemed to be in pretty high demand, which has to be a good sign for the shop.The shop was also very clean and the staff take incredible care to make sure the work they do is safe and sanitary for us.Service: Tattoos“
“I m sorry. I asked forget the name of that guy. He is so kind and helpful. I will tell my friend to go there and make ur tattooes“
“Yolanda is the best! She is incredibly helpful and has one of the sweetest personalities I’ve encountered. She helped my girlfriend with her hair loss. Thanks again!!“
“You guys. Fernanda. Is. The. Best. I can't sing her praises enough. She is so skilled at her craft, pleasant to talk to or just quietly relax as she massages your hair during the wash. She does not hold back any secrets in what helps different hair issues; great educator. I learn a new tip or five every time I go. She is reasonably priced, especially considering the amount of time, skill, and attention she puts into your hair. And on top of how delightful, relatable, and down-to-earth she is, the salon ambiance is unique from any other I've experienced because there's never any salacious gossip. They are so friendly, warm, and professional in the way they talk about people. They treat each customer like a friend, even after they leave when many others stylists take the opportunity to gossip badly about them. That is rare. They are a gem in the rough! And Fernanda is a hair magician. Trust her!“
“Loudres was absolutely amazing. I was blown away by her work. She has a light touch. And really expert shading and line work.“
“Nate was AWESOME! Made me and my sister feel like family. Conversation, atmosphere, company was all amazing! I haven't had a tattoo in over 16 years and needed a cover up. I came in around 1pm and he said he could fit me in but it'd be around 8pm. He stayed until after 1am to finish my cover up. I had been to three other shops that day trying to get seen and no one but Nate would see me same day. I'm honestly glad he said yes, because I'm pretty sure he's my new tattoo guy. Thanks Nate! #TWD ?“
“I have been debating about getting a tattoo, I dont like pain at all. After having so many conversations with Sam and the staff at Diablo ink they put me at ease. Sam was very honest and very professional with me as well as being gentle and making sure I was ok. I love the tattoo that he did for me very pleased with his work. My husband is against tattoos, for him to tell me it looks nice as well as putting a smile on his face tells me that Sam was awesome. My daughter wants us to do a mother/daughter tattoo we will have Sam to do that for us. I cant wait for my next one to be done by him. Thanks again Sam for being gentle and patient with me. Also the shop is very clean and steril. I highly recommend Diablo ink for tattoo needs“
