Cerda Art Studio - Nightmare before Christmas obviously - Tattoo Near Me - Richmond, California

Jojo is an absolutely amazing artist. His work can't be matched by no one at all. He's very calm and takes his time doing the tattoos. The location of his studio is also amazing, peaceful and in the heart of point Richmond. I'll never let anyone else tattoo me again besides Jojo. read more

Jojo deserves like a thousand trophies for greatest tattoo artist of all time. He exceeded my expectations when he did a portrait of my late husband. He also held great conversation throughout the 4 hours as well. I would recommend him over and over again. I will definitely be coming back to see him! read more

Cerda Art Studio - Tattoo Near Me - Richmond, California

Recently I got my first tattoo at Cerda Art Studio and had a great experience. Jojo is not only very professional and an excellent, versatile artist (his sculptures and paintings, in addition to his tattoo work, are also gorgeous), he's a really cool guy too. His studio is immaculate and beautiful. I felt completely at ease during my appointment and I love my tattoo. Everyone else who has seen it does too. An appointment for a second tattoo with him has been scheduled and I am very much so looking forward to it. Thanks, Jojo. Super grateful for the amazing work you do. :) read more

Cerda Art Studio - Tattoo Near Me - Richmond, California

Jojo is absolutely amazing. My daughter passed away at just 6 days old and I immediately wanted something to remember and honor her by and was referred to him by so many people because he specializes in that. He got me in within two weeks to do her footprints. It's uncanny how good of a job he did. If you put my arm up next to the paper with her prints it's EXACT. I went back for my other piece for pregnancy and infant loss awareness with angel wings for her and once again he crushed it. He's a really chill dude who really has your best interest at heart. He won't sugar coat anything if he thinks that it won't look good and that's what I like about him. If you are looking for an artist who will give you a badass clean tattoo, jojo is your guy read more

See all

In one word, "professional". Been going to jojo for years and I've always left his shop stoked about my art. I highly recommend him and the wait was totally worth it. read more

Jojo is hands down the best portrait tattoo artist you will find! I've gotten 2 by him and I can't wear a tank top without someone stopping me enquiring about my tattoos. Still years later I'm giving out his phone number because people want work done by him. If I had one wish it would be that he'd do more free hand work, because now I'm on a impossible hunt to find someone to fill in my sleeve. Very hard to find someone who can compare to Jojo. Shop is very clean. He's professional, yet quiet. No ruckus in the shop read more

I waited almost 10 years to get a very special tattoo to remember my dad and my spiritual beliefs representing love and peace. I finally found what I wanted and made an appointment with JoJo. sent the email with the picture and he did exactly hundred percent what I was hoping for. He is an amazing talented artist. Professional, super clean and a class act. read more

I finally found Jojo! He's absolutely the best. I haven't seen him since he moved from El Sobrante to Richmond. I got a portrait of my father in his Vietnam Marines official pic in black and grey. A little background, I actually was seriously thinking about going to Kat Von D's tattoo place in LA on La Brea I think. I actually went in and asked logistics and the receptionist or whoever told me that one of the associate tattoo artist would take it, cost $800 and I need to bring in the pic. I was very close to making an appointment until my friend suggested I see Jojo. I was hesitant because once I have my eyes set on something, I don't see anything else. I decided to check out his original website and and I was converted. He specializes in life-like portraits, which is who I needed. I found who I was looking for right in my backyard. In 2010, I went into his original place in El Sobrante. Small but gorgeous. His assistant told me there was a 2 month wait and it would be $500 ($300 less than LA Ink) writing included (He said sometimes people put birth/death date and the like). I was not bothered by the wait, I took as he was good. And if you can't wait two months, you probably shouldn't be getting a tattoo. A week later, I came in to make another appointment and they said something opened up for next week. I took it. Jojo is really professional and he makes you double check the stencil a couple of times before he does anything (spelling and stuff). I kid you not, he just outlined the marine cap, the face, ears, nose, eyes, collar, and the lettering (the title of my parents' favorite song). EVERYTHING else was freehand. It was so amazing to see. I paid 575, incl. tip at $75. As far as pain, I thought it was going to hurt more but I barely felt anything. But that could be due to my chubby arms. read more

I'm with the last review...mine was also done 95% freehand. He designed it and tbh the stencil he did was very bare. Even though it was my first tat by him, I trusted him. I absolute love the results...thanks Jojo! read more
