I worked with Fabian (whose English is outstanding) on the design, and Arturo did the execution. I had something very specific in mind, and those two completely nailed it. I couldn't be happier. Arturo had an exceptional touch. The tattoo healed like nothing had happened. Highly recommended. read more

Exodos Tattoo Oaxaca - The design prompt was: Oaxaca-style embroidery. Perfect! - Tattoo Near Me - Oaxaca, OAX

WOW! What an excellent spot. Woke up in Oaxaca on my 30th birthday and was inspired to get a tattoo. I sent these guys a message of what I was looking for, showed up at the spot to talk it out. Language barriers for sure, but I had a friend do kind of piece it together. Showed up a few hours later & the artist had knocked it out of the park! They were super hospitable. Their work area is very clean. One thing to keep in mind, they are cash only. Make sure you bring the appropriate bills. MUCHAS GRACIAS! (I'll add a pic of once it's healed ) read more

I had ideas about getting another tattoo but never really solidified what design I wanted. I reached out to Francisco and he answered very promptly. I initially wrote him in English and thereafter we corresponded in Spanish. We threw around some dates and times and settled on the next day for a consultation. I sent him 2 images and let him know that I wanted to merge them. As soon as I walked into the shop the next day, he whipped out a copy of both the images and we were able to discuss the final details. He sketched it out for me within about 20 minutes and we started the tattoo right after. I have several tattoos all ranging in different sizes and levels of intricacies. This was by far the easiest and most seamless process I've ever experienced. They didn't accept cash. Not sure if the machine was down or if this is the only method of payment despite having signs for acceptance of credit cards. I had a great experience and would highly recommend this establishment. read more

After much research into the various tattoo shops, I decided on Exodos Tattoo while visiting Oaxaca, Mexico. Why? 1) Been in business over 20 years, 2) In legit location, just across the street from Santo Domingo Church, 3) Francisco, the artist, was more artist that salesman. When I talked to him, he tried to capture my vision on a paper. The next day when I showed up? He had a mock version already drawn. Francisco isn't much for chitchat, but he loves to draw. I picked up a Day of Dead Mask on the street the day before visiting his shop. I left it with him, along with some directions that included the AA triangle, along with the words "Unity, Service, Prayer" on each side of the triangle. I also wanted "Thank you, Oaxaca" along the bottom. He told me, straight up, that as an artist he thought there was too much clutter with all the words. It was me, so I wanted to go for it. He did an excellent job. When he was finished, I asked him to thicken the lines of the triangle. No problem. Flexible, friendly, fair. And mostly? An artwork first approach to business. read more

I came here to get my nose re-pierced. They pierced it with a ring (not advisable for new piercings, I later learned), which furthermore was too small, such that the swelling was causing the ring to pull painfully on the piercing. And they pierced it at a weird angle, such that the ring hung forward in my nose. When I said, "Parece que el ángulo es un poco extraño" ("it looks like the angle is a little weird"), one said "tu nariz es extraño" ("your nose is weird"), and that was that. Business done. After I bought a nose screw, suspecting that the ring was a bad idea, they called me "cabrón." I tried to be polite the whole time, but they were really awful. Here we are a few months later, I got to see a decent piercer, who confirmed that these guys screwed up. Maybe they could be forgiven for being incompetent if they weren't also rude. read more

Was on vacation and got in the mood to get a tattoo. I found this shop on yelp and can say they have best rating and reviews for a reason. Requesting an appointment was easy and fast. As the owner of the establishment responded in a prompt matter. I reached out on a Sunday afternoon through yelp and booked an appointment for the next day. Once I arrived to the shop I showed pictures of the writing I wanted and the artist helped me. He was able to reduce the sizing and re did the sketch a few times until I was happy with it. He used a new and clean needle and I was out the shop by 30 mins. The pricing was fair for the tattoo I received. A week later my tattoo is healing nicely:) I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone interested. Many locals stop by to get work done themselves. If I were to return I would definitely go to them. read more
