Was really happy with David's work, he was really patient with me and the work he did was amazing. I love my new Tatoo. He was fast and efficient the colors blew my mind, my skin is darker so the color work he did on my arm was awesome! The colors still stood out. read more

Faith Tattoo - Icarus tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

My husband and I were a walk-in and we were pleasantly surprised by how friendly and kind the artists were. Idk it just usually feels like tattoo artists are kinda rude, but not these guy lol They took us right away and our tattoos came out perfect. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town! read more

This is a nice place that I can imagine may become my go to shop, especially since I want to get more pieces done individually and matching tats w close relationships. Randomly called here looking for a walk-in shop. They didn't have availability that day but offered their next day appt which no other Santa Rosa shop did. I called five different shops in Santa Rosa and they were the only one to offer different options outside of walk in which I appreciated. Nick and Sean had availability next day for my friend and I to get small tattoos done. They were similar but different, the design had to be redone to have less black space (which I was 100% ok w). Didn't take a photo of mine but my friend took a photo of hers. Sean's more talkative, East bay folk that makes you feel at home and Nick is friendly but not too talkative which I prefer. We definitely got the matching artist to person. It took about 30 min for them to update the design from the original we offered and max of twenty minutes to tattoo on. While I would say my tattoo hurt more than my friends, I think I'm a little more sensitive than she is with pain. He's not heavy handed and I think a less sensitive spot that the fatty part of my inner arm may hurt less. They offered me a privacy wall since I was wearing a dress which is a plus for people wearing skirts/dresses. It's a clean space with friendly staff, open spacing and great ambience. They have their portfolio and some stuffed animals on the walls, which makes it more interesting. They require a $50 deposit via Venmo or PayPal but only accept cash for payment which was like, why can't I just pay virtually again?! However it's understandable and they have an ATM in the shop. I'm 100% thinking about getting my future tattoos done here. $100 shop minimum and our tattoos were $120 each. Immediate edit: this is the type of shop you want to go to when you're first getting into tattoos. They suggest how to make things better, ask your opinion and ask you questions that make you think about what you want. Even over the phone they asked do you have an idea? Color? Style? General idea? If you said I'm honestly not sure, I'm sure they'd help you figure it out. read more

Faith Tattoo - Final design on right side - Tattoo Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

It's been nearly two years since I have gotten a tattoo, and I've been scared to ever since due to my encounter at this shop. I wanted constellations on my collarbones, and it was $200 for thick and uneven lines that took 20 minutes (done by Forrest btw). It took awhile for me to love these tattoos, especially because I believe that my necklace was taken here! I had taken off my Tiffany necklace and had given it to the man tattooing me. Later that day, I noticed my necklace was missing and knew it had to be at the shop. I called the shop a day or so later, and the woman who picked up was so incredibly rude to me. She answered the phone and sounded irritated about my concern, hanging up the phone on me and saying she'd "call back if they found anything" and I'm pretty sure she never even took my number down. Two days ago I got a new tattoo from IvyRoom in Orange County, and the staff was so nice and thoughtful. It's a shame this place doesn't care for their customers - at least from what I've experienced! Go somewhere you know is reliable and good, it's on your body forever after all. I forgot to mention, the way I was bandaged was just so strange - I was taped with essentially cotton (I think?) where my tatts were. So bizarre. I really think this place is shady as hell, and it's so overpriced for work I could get done elsewhere for much cheaper and that's not unprofessional! read more

I asked for a reasonably difficult piece of Alex Grey artwork. Andy Chism did a FANTASTIC job with it and I couldn't be happier with it. The atmosphere is really fun and welcoming. This is a hidden gem in Santa Rosa, hiding in plain sight. read more

I got 2 tattoos done by Nick Paine. I can honestly say that his level of professionalism is off the charts. I told him what I wanted and he took care of the rest. One tattoo I got had a huge amount of detail and different colors but it seemed like no challenge for him. He had a lot of patience and kept working non stop for the over 3 hours it took for my tattoo to get done. I've gotten tattoos by other artists who keep getting smoke breaks like every 20 minutes... well, I did not have any issues with Nick. This would be my 4th tattoo at Faith, and very happy with the service and the end results. Needless to say, my last tattoo is healing very nicely 4 days later. No issues. read more

I love Faith Tattoo! I've been been getting my tattoos done there for the past 6 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Nate has done the majority of my work. He's so awesome to work with - I'm pretty open to tattoo ideas, and fully trust him to draw up some cool pieces based on the vague pictures and descriptions I give him. I truly appreciate him so much. He's such a rad guy! Hot tip- as of recently they are cash only, so keep that in mind when going in. Faith is such an awesome environment with great artists and I definitely recommend going there for your next tattoo(s) read more

This was $300.. idk Doods was super chill tho I got tattoos that were similar size or bigger with more variation in color and shading/ depth detail from all over (Dallas, Albuquerque, San Diego). None of them were this expensive. They were all less than half of $300. They took my request for an appointment that was scheduled within 5 minutes. (Called at 5:40, scheduled for 5:45) Prob should have asked about the price before hand or bargained for something lower- my mistake for being compliant with it. Also had a different plan in mind with the colors but my fault for not being more specific. Mans was rad tho read more

Faith Tattoo - $300 - Tattoo Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Alex graham did a little piece for me and I love it. I also get a ton of compliments on it. Not a cheap shop, so if you're bargain shopping for something that will be on your human body PERMANENTLY, maybe try your cousin's friend's homies's garage instead. read more

So I'm pretty much an impulsive person when it comes to my tattoos and once I make up my mind I have to get it done. Such was the case when I came up with the idea that since I love Pizza (I am from Brooklyn after all...) and Honey Bees (They pollinate Flowers among other things that keep coffee alive and going...) that's needed to find a place willing to take a walk in on a Friday afternoon. I called Faith Tattoo and was told that they had a guest artist that was available and happy to take walk-ins. I asked if the artist had work I could view before making my choice to which they said of course! I walked in and was immediately greeted and was asked if I had an appointment and or how they could help me. I said " I was the one who called about the Pizza tattoo", they said " Ah yes, pizza tattoo". *Insert Guest Tattooist Here* Jacob walked over, shook my hand asked me what I was looking for and I got to showing him my idea for this pizza tattoo... while he was drawing my Pizza template I was looking through his portfolio and stumbled upon the Honey Bee... and so it was meant to be! A few short moment after, another stencil had been made and we were ready to rock! Jacob was simply amazing and the vibes and conversation were great! He is a traveling tattoo artist from the Mid-West (Wisconsin) looking to do some do some awesome art while the winter cuts its shit out! I think I am the lucky one who scored not 1 but 2 amazing and beautiful pieces but a super talented tattoo artist that I will look back on with nothing but smiles! I want to say thank you to all the guys there that made my Friday even better! Word to the wise: Guest tattoo artist only take cash but fret not... there's a bar right next door that has an ATM. read more

Dave Reed at Faith Tattoo wanted to charge me 760.00 for a Harley Quinn arm band....I was going pay it....but if it wasn't for his poor customer relations and the fact that he couldn't stencil it on my arm... excuse me he stenciled my arm 5 times in a hour....my arm was a mess.....there was no way I was going to let him continue and expect me to pay him 760.00.....hoping that he could figure out what lines to tattoo and what not to tattoo.....my arm was a mess..and his attitude really sucked..There business really went down hill. I had to walk out that day without my tattoo.... Robyn 2022 read more

I went in with my sister to get matching pieces from Forrester. We have both been getting tattooed for 16 years and are very happy with his work. Nice funny knowledgeable guy. Solid clean line work(trust me - I'm picky). Fair pricing. Will definitely go to him again and recommend Forrester to anyone looking to get clean solid work. read more

It says one star but id give maybe zero stars but they wont let me choose that i recently had my fingers done the guy at the front desk told me it would be the shop minimum which was $100 i was fine with that what im not fine with is the fact that the artist charged me $100 for each hand so literally $25 per letter which is bullshit they over charge for shitty work and i say shitty work for the fact that 3 out of 6 letters "characters total" but 3 out of 6 letters are crooked and the line are not straight at all... so in short they over charge for shotty work at best or atleast the artist i got did read more

I will drive for miles to get Jessie Swanson's art permanently on my body. He's talented and original. I love that. A lot of people like his work... So booking in advance is suggested. Faith Tattoo operates a great business. Any time I've called there have been professional and super helpful fellas on the other end to answer any questions, schedule or even remind me of what to do after to take care of my tattoo. The prices are crazy reasonable for the quality of work. Faith Tattoo is where it's at-- It's safe, clean and welcoming to any one. So don't be scared.. ;) Enjoy ! read more

Faith Tattoo - Orchids. Another tattoo cover up - Tattoo Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I am surprised I hadn't given Faith Tattoo review yet-- because these guys and this shop are more than note worthy. The atmosphere at the shop is inviting, the guy at the front desk is sweet, helpful and to the point. The artists are also super approachable and really aim to please. I've worked/witnessed work by Ben, Justin and Andy-- and I can't say enough how great their work is. Also, the new shop is HUGE, so you don't feel cramped-- which is nice when you consider some shops. This last Friday I wanted a couple filler pieces for my sleeve, and Andy was able to accomodate-- he was really open to working with the spaces I had left, and made each of my tattoos fit just right, and with his own personal touch (which, I love). Of the 3 I got, the Whiskey Barrel is by far my FAVORITE! He NAILED my black line-art (think Wood-block print) style, and the detail on such a tiny tattoo (1" x 2") is KILLER. He's my go-to artist at this shop, from here on out! [see photo] My husband got a Moonshine Jug on his foot by Ben-- and not only is Ben fast-- his hand is gentle, but effective-- not heavy at all. Upon completion-- my husband immediately started to make plans with Ben for his chest piece. By the end of the night, we were all laughing and talking about our next tattoos with everyone in the shop. I really felt welcome, and I can't wait to go back! read more

Literally just got my tattoo fixed by Shawn? Sean? Not sure on the spelling, but got it fixed today. He was quick and my lines on my deathly hallows tattoo are even! It was my girlfriends first time getting a tattoo today as well for her 23rd birthday, she wanted writing in cursive on the back of her neck. She was extremely nervous, but at the end extremely impressed. I'm glad we were able to have him today and recommend this place to anyone. Will post after photos, but currently have wrap on both of our necks! Thank you! read more

I've had two tattoos done at Faith -- both by Jesse. The first was a redo/addition to an old tattoo; very simple. It was quick and healed perfectly. For my other tattoo, I had been plotting a special custom tattoo for a while, and finally decided on a (sort of weird) request: a red-crowned crane with phoenix tail feathers. I brought a few pictures and talked with Jesse about what I wanted, he said okay and I made my appointment. I didn't get to see the drawing until the day of the appointment, which made me nervous, but he'd captured my vision perfectly. I requested a small addition (a short quote) and he incorporated it in right there, no problem. The shop is clean and the staff is friendly. A little brash, but friendly. But it IS a tattoo parlor, right? Jesse was great about making sure I was getting what I wanted and courteous while I was getting inked; checking in with me multiple times to ask if I was doing all right or if I needed a break. At one point he asked me about the color, and I told him I trusted his artistic judgment, and he made great calls. I love my tattoo. Kudos all around. Great experience and talented artists. read more

I have gotten over 20 tattoos here and every time I go it's a great experience. The first time I got a tattoo here I got it from Andy Sharpe who was traveling through and was a long term guest at the shop. Since then I have been tattooed by Jesse, Tony Pimentel, and mainly by Nick Paine. Justin, who owns this tattoo parlor is extremely nice and runs a great shop. All the artists are friendly and do not have the "tattooers ego." My first tattoos I got were from a shop where most of the artists were cold, the receptionist was quick and rude, and the whole place just felt very uncomfortable. At Faith Tattoo when you walk in someone will greet you and ask if you have any questions. They may have you look through their books if you have an idea but don't know any of the artists. And once you have an artist, a design set up, and a time it's off to the races. The artists will make suggestions so your tattoo looks great. They will take your ideas and help you form a great looking tattoo. This is the best shop I have been into and it's always a pleasure to go back. I tell everyone I know to go here and will continue to do so! read more

Today my husband and I sought out to find a shop that would 1) Have artists who do awesome work 2) Take walk ins on a Sunday. Lucky for us, we came across Faith online and decided to give it a shot. As soon as we walked in the door Sean greeted us with a smile and really listened to what I was looking to symbolize and create, without me articulating it very well in my own words. He sketched exactly what I was hoping the outcome would look like, was super friendly and professional at the same time, and made the experience as painless as possible. Definitely wanting to expand the illustration at some point (wanted a simple design for now), but would go back to this place in a heartbeat! read more

I've been here twice and have gotten a "get what a you get" tattoo both times, and they're by far my favorite tattoos on my body. Me and my boyfriend came in when we were passing through Santa Rosa after hearing about Faith Tattoo in a David Cross stand up. He makes it sound questionable, but he's wrong to say anything negative about this place. Both tattoos were done by Alex and he did an incredible job on both. His art is amazing and his tattoos are bold and stunning. I've yet to get anything done by the other tattoo artists there, but I've heard and seen only good things and I can't wait to stop by again. Would 100% recommend the get what you get ,or any tattoo done here, for lovers of tattoos and amazing original art! read more

We walked in to Faith and immediately could tell this was the right place. The guys made us feel completely comfortable and worked with us to give us exactly what we wanted. Dave and Nate worked on my wife and I at the same time. We are more than pleased. If we ever have more work to do we know where we will be going. If you're looking for professional work and great attitude this is the place. read more

Sat with David Reed on multiple occasions. Traditional work well done, heals perfectly, super clean.

I came here over two years ago and never wrote a review. I had a specific tattoo in mind -- a small Alice in Wonderland design. Before I came to Faith, several other tattoo companies told me my design was "too small," "too plain," or "too pinterest-y." Sheesh. I went to Faith and they were excited to take on the challenge of a small tattoo. I believe I saw Sean. He was friendly and gave me exactly what I wanted. The detail on the tattoo is so well done and very even. Should I decide to get another tattoo, I will come back! read more
