I'll definitely be back! They fit me in super quick, and they even got me a chair, so my short, fatass could get on the tattoo table, lol.

Ian did two small tattoos, was in and out in 45 min. Pretty clean place, super chill vibes, happy with the results. Nice place.

I got a tattoo by Janel. And i'm not going to say she didn't do a good job on the tattoo. But she has horrible business management. Is rude af and gyps an extra $80 for not doing HER math correctly. I wouldn't recommend getting a tattoo from her or this place at all. Make sure you actually have them pay attention to the pricing because you might end up over paying and they are no help to fixing any of THEIR mistakes. Fuck this place and her. She will block you like she blocked me after miscommunication and being rude as fuck.

Love love love how Vern did my tattoo!!!!!!

Went in to see Vern. Really clean place really friendly staff. He did a great job on my arm tattoo. Definitely going to come back and tell everyone to go see Vern!!! Everyone should go see vern

My wolf tattoo, had it done a year ago March 2019 the white stars in the galaxy leaves faded out after a week but only cus white is really shitty, the overall tattoo took 3-4 hours one sitting and I still absolutely love it a few spots where the black outline came off while in process healing but I just didn't have time to go back in for a touch up I still give it 5/5 I've also had my dream catcher on my side done here still looks great! I'm thinking it's time for another tattoo soon :p As well as a tattoo touch up from another shop I had done 11years ago I highly recommend this shop very professional chill sanitary and very reasonably priced

Place is bad a$$ - I was in town for a poker weekend and stopped by a couple shops in Manteca (as a walk in). This place was hands down the coolest and cleanest. Ian took my idea and made it real (real quick). I was lucky to get taken as a walk in, but would definitely book an appointment next time. Appreciate the work - Ride Safe... GB, Scott

Had my second tattoo by Ian he does the best tattoos i come from san jose ca. Me and my sisters he does a great job .

Love this shop Ian the owner awesome tattoo artist . Clean friendly place shop me and my sister drive from san jose ca.

I can't express enough how happy I am that I found this place! I've debated for years on getting a tattoo and finally wanted to go through with it. Not a whole lot of places are open on a Sunday. I went to one shop in Tracy but didn't get a good feeling about it. I decided to check out this place because of the reviews I read. It's clean and not seedy/shady at all! Steve is an amazing artist and such a nice guy! I showed him a picture of what I wanted and how I wanted to change it, and he sketched out something that was awesome! He made me feel very much at ease and I was genuinely stunned with the finished result. It completely exceeded my expectations! I will be recommending One Sixteen to everyone I know! Thoroughly impressed!!!!

Every artist in here is great, they're all super friendly and welcoming. Kindra has been doing my piece, I dont need to give her any input. I can just trust that shes going to give me something beautiful, and she delivers.

This is just the linework that we have done so far- will update pic when finished

I've been to Ian a couple of times now- he is talented to say the least! We are currently working on a decent sized chest piece and I have to say it is healed so nicely especially in comparison to other tattoos I've gotten in the past from other people he's very light handed but his line work is fierce!

Great place to get at tattoo. Clean and organized establishment, that offer affordable prices. The artist, Lucky, was awesome. I told him what I was looking, and he gave me exactly what I wanted. He's work is good, and he made me feel comfortable. I left very satisfied with my tat, and I have plans to go back soon.

Inside the shop, great atmosphere, great group of artists that are skilled in all areas

I just got my second tattoo today. This experience was WAY superior to my experience with my first tattoo. I got tattooed by Steve, and it was a pleasure! He's really funny and a great guy. He told me he has 16 years of experience, which makes sense! He also helped me get through the process (as the ankle was more painful than I thought). He was concerned and always checking on me. I am incredibly happy with his work and I will be coming back when I want to get tattooed again. Also, general good things to know: the shop is very clean and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and are hilarious. They require a deposit, which is a good sign; it makes people keep their appointments! Steve gave me a sample of Aquaphor and an aftercare instruction sheet afterwards. He also wrapped my tattoo up very well. If you're going to get a tattoo, PLEASE consider one sixteen!! read more

I think it's time to update my previous review since it was over 2 years ago. I now have 10 tattoos and a full cover-up sleeve done by Steve. I get compliments everywhere I go about the line work, the details, the beautiful colors..the list goes on and on. If you are in the market for a new tattoo, look no further than Steve and his crew at One Sixteen! I've been to plenty of tattoo shops and this one is by the the cleanest, friendliest, and most professional. The artists here really put in the effort to give you bad ass tattoos that you will be proud to show off everywhere you go. read more

Went in for a consultation and waited nearly 20 minutes without being greeted. Who ever was working was more concerned about talking to a random person and cleaning toilets for an apprenticeship. Never had service at a tattoo shop quite like this. Based on the tattoo prints on the wall, looks like they know what they're doing. I won't be coming back to this place. Check out Union Tattoo in Manteca. Great service and lots of experience. read more

My wife and I got tattoos for the first time. My wife was very nervous and I stressed this to girl that gave us the tattoos. We had to correct the transfer paper several times as it didnt look straight. Unfortunately this upset her as she stressed how busy she was. We had an appointment and being a first timer we thought she would've been more understanding. I felt bad and I offered to compensate her for the 10 minute delay. Although I assured her severaI times that I would make the lost time it didn't change her attitude. No body wants to get a tattoo from someone who is upset with you.Unfortunately she started the work and I didn't want to upset her even though she was making my feel uncomfortable.She did good work for what we asked for but we didn't not have a good experience as this was our first time. We just wanted to warn first timers not to expect any sympathy from her. For my self it did not matter i was just concerned about the wife. I would not recommend this place if this is your first time. I still compensated her extra as I promised i just felt if I didn't she wouldn't do her best. Anyway were happy with the work just not the attitude. read more

Steve is the best tattoo artist I've been to without question, and adding to that, the cleanest shop I have seen. I've been searching for the right tattoo artist to upgrade an existing tattoo, and found many great reviews on Steve. The reviews are accurate. He is passionate about what he does, and a true professional. I like how detailed he is with his art work from color to linings. I wish I found him a long time ago for my previous tattoos. He is awesome! Get your tat done by Steve. You won't be disappointed. Pricing is fair as well. read more

I've gotten 3 tattoos here. 1 was a few years ago (can't remember which artist) and my 2 most…read morerecent have been in the last 2 months by Bobby. All experiences have been awesome. Bobby does an amazing job and really takes the time to make sure you are happy! Bobby and all staff are so friendly and welcoming! I usually am a bleeder and peel a lot after a tattoo. But both tattoos by Bobby healed BEAUTIFULLY and didn't peel at all which was amazing! I will definitely be back and definitely recommend Bobby. My ONLY complaint... is the shop is cash only... which isn't a huge deal... BUT their on site ATM only dispenses (I think) $300 at a time... and tattoos aren't often less than that price... so you have to do multiple transactions and pay multiple transaction fees to take cash out from their ATM. So, plan ahead and get cash out elsewhere if you can.

So last Saturday after a couple of appointments, I asked my daughter. Do you wanna go get tattoo. We ended up at Emerald in Manteca. We walked in we felt welcomed. Anona was the artist that they hooked us up with. I totally loved her ride from the moment we met her my daughter shoulder what she wanted I explained to her I wanted to show a little draft of the cross. She told us to give her about 25 to 30 minutes. She came back with the drawings. It was exactly how we envisioned them. They were beautiful. She started to work on us in the conversation with her was awesome. She understood what we were looking for. May feel really comfortable. As well as the rest of the team did as well there was another family and they're getting tattoos together also and I think we all bonded over our tattooing. The work here is phenomenal. The place is clean. There's a love great artist there. You definitely will find someone that meet your vibe and what you're looking for. I definitely will be back in the future for any work that I wanna have completed. She makes some sick work. It is awesome. I don't think I wanna get tattooed by anyone else.

Pretty crazy people do business like that these days... it must be this new generation... I'm from the old school lol. Anyhow thanks to Instagram there are many other talented tattoos artists to be located. Even taking a trip to LA is worth it for some ink these days. They got skills down there. Hopefully the next person will have a better experience than me. I liked Sophollie's work from what I've seen too; it sucks to leave a review like this, but this is business. God Bless !

She is kind, sweet, professional and a true genius in her craft to create the most gorgeous, well-shaped and perfectly colored brows you've ever imagined. She is very meticulous during her process and is constantly ensuring you know what's going on. Cassi also wants you to feel comfortable so she is consistently asking if you are need anything during your time at her establishment. The staff are also extremely friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of this beauty bar will blow you away and you won't even believe you're in Manteca. It feels like you are in a little upscale boho salon in the Bay Area. I could not be happier with my decision to get micro bladed by Cassi. The process was so fluid and utterly painless! The results were beyond my wildest expectations and I encourage you to have a consultation with her if you're considering brows! Also, I encourage you to check out the other ladies that work there for facials, waxing and much more!

I went with my mom (& practically whole family lol) to get a tattoo. Steve is freaking hilarious. My family and I are pretty out spoken and we were talking about farts and all kinds of stuff lol. He was totally cool with the conversation and at one point he was laughing so hard he was practically crying. Haha. The experience was a memorable one! I had a wonderful time & the tattoo came out just like my mom and I wanted. It was her first one and he made it a great & comforting environment. Thanks Steve. You deserve the 5 stars! From the hump backs ;) read more

Around the end of 2024, my mom & sister both passed away. I decided to get my first tattoo at 55 years old. I wanted to get their signatures tattooed on my wrists. We went to go see Vern at Death Ray Tattoo. Vern was GREAT!! He is very professional, precise and super talented!! Both of the signatures came out absolutely PERFECT!! It's literally like my loved ones signed it themselves. The whole experience was completely amazing!! I cannot say enough good things about Vern and how talented he is. I LOVE MY TATTOOS!!! read more

I got my second tattoo from Steve last night. I wanted a tribute to my parents and when I brought in what I wanted, he made it happen! He does amazing work as well as the other artists in this shop. I could not be happier with my choices of tattoos or One Sixteen Tattoo. My daughter was with me and not planning on getting one, but Steve will be touching up and existing one for her in the very near future! Thanks Steve! read more

This tattoo shop is by far the most professional and cleanest I've ever seen! The artist , Steve, is amazing . I barely had to tell him an idea of what I wanted and he had the drawing done in like 10 minutes and it was better than I even had in mind. He is an excellent artist and I am 100% satisfied with my tattoo! I would recommend one sixteen tattoo to anyone who is looking for a quality tattoo for a fair price. read more

Steve is such a personable guy, so awesome. He will do whatever you ask him to w a smile on his face. I took a chance w him and he impressed me so much, that I've been going back about every 2 or 3 weeks trying to finish up my whole arm. I won't go anywhere else, and I get compliments everywhere I go on my Jessica Rabbit piece, along w the big mermaid and big mirror I have. Amazing artist. read more

Steve has been doing my tattoos for 7 years now, and i will be the first (or maybe second.. Or third..) to say he is the most stand up guy you could ever have do your tattoos. His lines are clean, his color is amazing, and he is an all around creative genius! I would recommend him and one sixteen tattoo to anyone looking for the most amazing tattoo experience imaginable! read more

But I think I've found "the one" He was so friendly and welcoming and he did an amazing job in a really reasonable amount of time. I can't wait to go back this Saturday! read more
