I had an amazing experience today at Cleopatra Ink Sacramento. Donaldo delivered exceptional work--clean lines, perfect shading, and a level of detail that shows real mastery. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He listened carefully to what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and made the entire session comfortable and enjoyable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The studio was spotless, the team was welcoming, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend Donaldo for anyone looking for top‑tier tattoo artistry. read more

Look at my photos this is their response and my response through text message. They are not accountable when they make offers of discounts. They do not hold accountability. I do not believe it's a tattoo artist. I believe it is management they lie they say that they're gonna give you a 20% discount or 35% discount and then after you negotiate, they don't give it to you. Also they'll say the tattoo will take eight hours. The price is for eight hours Tattoo they finish the tattoo in three hours and charge you for eight hours. The only thing that seems to be good with all these reviews is their piercings again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't hold the artist responsible I hold management[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] don't trust Them. read more

Came in with my hubby he needed a cover up tattoo and I wanted an angel on my shoulder [[HIGHLIGHT]]waited over 20 minutes past our appointment time to get some cheesy Pinterest ideas[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] , that had barely anything to do what we actually asked for and a completely ridiculous price tag of a 10 inch tattoo cover of $3K!!!! Joke .. the marketing did not match the service. read more

This place does quality work but I could never afford to go back. I was quoted a grand for 4.5 hours worth of work and it ended up only being 2.5 hours worth of work yet I was still charged a grand. Yes that's almost $500 an hour. Would love to recommend them and return for more work but not at $500 an hour. read more

Just got my nose pierced here and [[HIGHLIGHT]]Elena was incredible and professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very sanitary and amazing people working here. Looking forward to doing future piercings and potentially tattoos here. Thanks everyone! read more

I went in for a piercing and a tattoo with my girlfriend. Elena did an awesome job with my girlfriend's piercings--no complaints there. However, when it came to getting a small filler tattoo (a peach, about 5 inches in diameter), the experience was very different. The owner started by asking if $600 was "cool." I honestly thought it was a joke and laughed, saying, "You've got to be kidding me." He then retracted the $600 price and dropped it to $400. It felt like a classic case of trying to take advantage of someone who might not know how much tattoos should cost. But I have about 45 tattoos, and I know my way around pricing. For reference, I've been tattooed by world-renowned local artist Chuco Moreno. A 1.5-hour session for a tattoo the size of my calf with him at American Graffiti was $250. There are much better, more honest tattoo shops in Sacramento with local artists who have been building the tattoo scene and culture here for years. The owner of this shop recently moved here from Turkey, built what feels like a generic, cookie-cutter shop (more like a cheap weed store), and is trying to charge $600 for a tattoo that should cost $150-$200 at most. Save your money and go to a local artist who cares about the community. read more

do not use this shop!!! unclean equipment and zero accountability for their carelessness. [[HIGHLIGHT]]instead of working to resolve customer issues, they accuse the customer of not following post op instructions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] take the full review of the other customer who also got cellulitis seriously. no low price tatoo is worth an infection. not posting my ink due to fear of intimidation. read more

No real creative abilities. My tattoo artist (can't pronounce his name but starts with an O) tries to get done as fast as possible and is visibly annoyed when you try to tell him something about his work. Both times I got tattooed here in the last couple weeks I had to tell him he wasn't finished because the tattoo didn't have the same details as the pictures. Kinda good line work, but other than that nothing special what so ever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Doesn't speak much English so you also can't chat with him and get to know him on a better level which is important for some people who get tattooed, like me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]JP and Will at the front are awesome but they don't tattoo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't recommend going here if you want an outstanding experience and want to find a place you can go frequently. read more

Came in for a consultation. Spoke to someone at the counter while the artists walked back and fourth doing his thing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Never introduced himself but had a consult with the shop keep about my idea.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Shot a few ideas down and settled with the easier choice. Actually googled my idea and changed nothing. Then priced at 3500$. Look, you might or might not make good work. But if you're to good to talk to me I'm too good to waste my time on you. read more

Amazing services! Great people! Amazing artwork! Worked with our budget and created amazing tattoos. Come here to get your next tattoo!

Hi do you guys allow walk-ins? I'm in the area today only and have a small silhouette I need done. Yeah sure how about 3 pm? I'm not at the shop right now. Um OK--in 3 hours? *get there at 3 pm and "Nope we've got two tattoos to do now." Complete. Waste. Of. Time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is cool and the people working their were really nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] however this place is extremely overpriced for the work you receive. I got a basic tattoo linework only and paid $350 for crooked lines on a small tattoo I guess that's what I get for cheating on my regular tattoo artist mind you my normal guy charges 600 for HUGE PIECES WITH SHADING. Lesson learned don't get spur of the moment tiny tats read more

Went in on my lunch break to have a design done for a potential shoulder sleeve. I was on limited time and had to leave before it was done. I was told that I couldn't see the finished work until I left a30% deposit, which amounted to $700. I looked at the contract and could no see anything indicating that this was a non refundable deposit, nor was anything said. After signing the contract I was sent a picture of my arm with what was basically looked like a cropped out flag and part of the declaration. Not real.impressive, certainly note $2500 impressive. They email stayed the colors will be better when it's done. I looked at the contract and realized that in the fine print it states that if you cancel your appointment to have the work done, you forfeit the deposit. My sessions wasnt for 2.5 weeks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I contacted the artist and he said he would ask his "boss" about it and have them call me. I waited a week, nothing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So I texted and told him I was cancelling my appointment and that his boss just needed to respond yes or no as whether they intended to refund the deposit. Suddenly they are calling and want to talk about it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am not even interested in getting a tattoo from a used car salesman. This shop is a franchise, they are there to make money,not art. Don't waste your time. read more

I got my tattoo on July 28th 2024. I went a head of time for a consultation. It was 2 small tattoos that I brought the drawings in on. I was quoted a 5-6 hour tattoo on July 26th. I went on July 28th for the tattoo . It took him less than 2.5 hours to finish tattooing my 2 tattoos. I am not new to the tattoo world. I have 11 other tattos. Including full color ones. I woke up the next day in full pain and stuck to my clothing as the new skin popped. I cleaned it with unscented soap and put aquphor on. My leg and arm where the tattoos were was red and swollen. And painful. I developed a fever the next day. I saw my dr. She said I had a cellulitis infection. I got 10 days of antibiotics. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tried to contact the shop 2 times and they did not reply. My infection got worse before better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had to go to dr a 2 time at day 10 as it was still bleeding and that isn't normal. I had been taking care of it with covering it up. Applying aquaphor , and washing with unscented soap as instructions emailed said. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I only heard from them after I filed with the BBB, and they sent me to the owner telling me I have to download WhatsApp to talk to him as he is in a different country.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Apparently all these shops are from a man who owns then in Turkey named Verdat. No last name. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He would only text me and not answer phone calls. He would not take any responsibility for the cellulitis, the over worked skin, and the trenching. He blamed me[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . He told me he will only refund me the tip money. ( they charged me $1200.00 , plus I gave a tip ). I showed him how the line work is gone. It looks like beef jelly. It caused a serious infection. Still. He refuses to do anything to rectify appropriately. I got my lawyer involved as this is a personal injury. They sent a letter to the shop. They ignored BBB, they ignored my lawyers letter. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Verdat wrote back on WhatsApp. Threatening me that " if I take them to small claims court. He will sue me for' millions ', he said that he doesn't care I have medical documentation, that shows what happened.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He doesn't care I have affidavits from many tattoo artists saying what happened why that would be caused, and how much it will now cost me to fix , and he doesn't care that I now know that the way the man did the tattoo was not sanitary. ( like rising the gun in dirty water, and wiping rhe needle with a paper towel. Can cause a cellulitis infection. ) he just threatened me . Instead of giving my refund so I can get it fixed in the future. This company is shady. This company does not have good customer service clearly. And I want my money back! I am now taking them to small claims and I don't care if they want to keep Threatening me. This was the absolute worst tattoo experience I ever had. And all I wanted was 2 tattos in dedication to my kids. Now I have 2 embarrassing tattoos and I had a very bad infection. I have documentation day after day on my fb with photos and videos of how it " healed " and how I am taking care of it properly. I have no fear of this bully Verdat. Also when you contact the state of California, there is no Cleopatra's ink listed. When you contact the county, they have no listing of it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called shop asked for the contact information of the owners and the manager REFUSED to give me that information, ( he has only given me a WhatsApp Info). He refused to give me contact information of the owner other than that[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Asking me why, why do you need it. Then saying they have to talk to corporate. I've attached my photos taken with cellulitis that dr has and my final result of this horrible tattoo. I just want a refund so I can get it done elsewhere correctly. I have medical and whatsap ( where verdat threatned if i dared sue him photos too for court. ) this is absolutely ridiculous . I do not recommend them. I'm every day embarrassed. And the run around to get this solved is atrocious . The out of country owners do not care. They Will not do the right thing . Horrible. read more

Im not sure if this is a regular thing at tattoo shops but for my first time getting a tattoo I had a great experience. Front desk was great help and easy to talk to. I came in without any intent of really getting a tattoo and walked out with a line art design that I've been meaning to get for a while. If you're looking for line artists I recommend John especially if it's your first time. He's very light handed and takes good care of you during the whole thing. Im from Vegas but if I ever come back i'd definitely go back to him. read more

I got a nostril piercing done. The piercer gave me the wrong size and it ended up sinking in. I had to go to another shop to get it fixed.
