Small backstory: Me, my brother & my sister in law drove 12 hours from Southern California to…read moreAlbuquerque for a wedding and we wanted more than a lame souvenir magnet to commemorate the trip. We looked up a few shops before deciding to drop by Blacklist with some questions. When we got to the shop we met Chewy who was very welcoming and professional. He was able to squeeze us in same day for an evening appointment. We sent him some ideas of what we wanted (just some small lil outline work ups) and he seemed just as happy to help us out as he might have for a single, bigger job. He drew us up some samples and emailed them to us while we were off touristing around. We came back for our appointment and for mine he redid the positioning for me a second time with the stencil and gave me his honest opinion on how different angles would look. I appreciated the amount of care and time he took to go over each step with me and the attention to detail he had while executing the tattoo. He could also carry conversation really well which is key when you're stuck with a person for as long as a tattoo takes. All in all, the three of us agreed that we'd definitely consider making a trip out to ABQ again just to get work done by Chewy. 10/10 would recommend!

There is no one i trust more to permanently ink my body than Danny at 71 Tattoo! He has perfected…read morenumerous tattoos for my daughter, some friends and countless tattoos for my son. His work is art perfected and his talent is amazing. My first session with Danny was to cover up a 20+ years old tattoo that did not age well. Danny listened to me and came up with a design that still makes me smile. My second session was the "Leo" sign that represents my July birthday. I fave him the design that i had found and he softened it up and made it more feminine. I LOVE it! For my friend, he added the initials of her nieces to a design representing suicide. Her nieces had lost their mom, and her sister, to suicide a few years ago. It was her first tattoo but she is already contemplating a second. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to do this. Danny is incredibly talented!

I got a tattoo here in September 2025 by Tam and really liked the work…read more Communication afterward was very disappointing. I was told a free touch-up was included with the cost of the tattoo, but after reaching out multiple times over about six weeks to schedule one, I didn't get a response. This was surprising because her response to my original tattoo inquiry was pretty quick. When I did finally hear back, I was told to find another artist with no attempt to honor the touch-up, so I will be incurring additional costs for fixes to her work. I'm happy with the art but dissatisfied by the artist. After posting this review, Tam emailed me at 1:20 AM and told me that my touch-up is not a priority, accused me of not tipping (I did), and said that I should go to another artist so I don't end up with more "upside-down tattoos." The "upside-down" tattoo she's referencing is the one SHE did for me, and it's a memorial tattoo for my sister that faces me because it's important to me, which we talked about at my appointment. I recommend you go anywhere else for your tattoo due to Tam's total lack of professionalism.

Beautiful floors, art work on the walls from all of the artists and giant comfy couches to wait on. We were instantly warmly greeted by the two artists working. Pablo came to speak with us about what we wanted. We sent him some pictures and he began working on the drawing. Once he was done we asked for adjustments and he happily sketched those out in front of us. He was kind and patient with us while we made sure it was exactly what we wanted. He worked with us on placement and even mirrored the tattoos because we got them on different arms. We watched him get his station set up with sterile products and the entire time he did our tattoos he was friendly and professional. We had a great experience. They came out amazing and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend this place if you're shopping around for a new tattoo spot. They're located by Ace and it's a hidden underground parking spot off of lomas. Go check them out. I will note that some artists only take cash, so get the details squared away before you get started. Thank you to Pablo for giving us exactly what we wanted.

He said he would have to draw it, and that would be a couple of hours before he could even start. Then he said $500.00. I said no thanks. Then, the owner said she would do it for 350.00. That was a mistake on my part. You would think the owner would be one of the best artists. Since it has been healing, I have noticed a number of mistakes, and it only slightly resembles what I sent. Should have stopped when she couldn't get the stencil on straight. Now, every time I look at it, all I'm going to see are the mistakes. She offered to try and correct it , but I fear it might end up even worse.

I've had my rib cage and left arm done by him, and both turned out amazing. Manny has an excellent eye for detail, and he really takes the time to understand and bring your ideas to life while offering guidance on placement and design to complement your skin tone. I trust him completely with my vision, and I plan to continue going to him until I'm done with my tattoos. I also highly recommend Manny's apprentice, Alex, who's doing fantastic work as well. If you're looking for top-notch tattoo art, you're in great hands with Manny and his apprentice!
