I visited here in February and got this leg piece by a guy who was just filling in i absolutely love it. However over the next few months of it healing i noticed the quality went down. I contacted the shop this week and they offered to fix it, i went in today and was absolutely amazed by the service received. The young guy who fixed it made sure I was comfortable the entire time. They were all super friendly and understanding. read more

My husband and I go here all the time for our tattoos. They are friendly and cool to talk to. We both get compliments on our tattoos all the time. Only people I will let tattoo me are Steph and Dose. They do an amazing job. Definitely would recommend others to come. Every time people ask about my tattoos, I always send them to this Fat Cat Tattoo location. read more

Came in to talk about some piercings and met with Sydney. Absolutely amazing. They were so helpful and kind through the process. Very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend for your piercing needs. Great selection of jewelry from gold to titanium read more

Went to see Jimmy and he did his thing!! As soon as i walked in Jimmy greeted me! Super professional, punctual and all around great vibes. Great shop and everyone in there seemed chill. Definitely gonna be coming back read more

The guy that greeted us was super nice. The piercer was nice as well. I should have waited til Halloween or something but I wanted it done now. I only gave 3 stars because it feels like she went too low in the back of my lip. She hit the outside area of where I wanted it but instead of going straight through she went at an angle. I hate flatbacks and want to change to hoops eventually. Hopefully I will be able to. If I can get hoops in I will come back and edit. read more

I seriously cannot say enough good things about the piercer here. She was SO good. I got my conch, helix, and third pierced and the placement was perfect. Everything was lined up so clean and looked exactly how I wanted. She clearly knew what she was doing and made the whole experience really comfortable. The pricing is also a huge plus. You don't have to pay for jewelry because it's all included in the price which makes the price so much more reasonable compared to every other place AND she uses flat back earrings too The shop had a super chill atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and recommending this location on Madison to everyone. 10/10 read more

Super nice, quick and friendly! We walked in for a piercing and were able to get it done quickly. I believe we were in and out in less than 15 minutes. read more

Everyone in there was super welcoming and their piercer Sydney was very assuring and did an amazing job on my vertical labret.

I gotta give a big thanks to John! He's done so many great quality tattoos on me and I couldn't be more happy to have his artwork on me. He's got a great personality and the whole shop is a vibe. Everyone there makes you feel comfortable and welcome, there are many great artist there and their body piercer there is super friendly! I would recommend anyone who wants to spend their hard earned money on quality tattoos that will last go here! read more

Fat Cat Tattoo - The post of my number. - Tattoo Near Me - Sacramento, California

Messed up my feet, really bad to where i'm going to have to have him lasered off and not one person has called, check up on my feet to see if they need to be fixed or if i'm got them fixed, they absolutely need to be fixed or lasered off.Um, if not, I will be suing i'm not playing games with people just because people think friends and this and that no I will sue over my body as the tattoo artist tremendously screwed up my feet and neither of this shop cares.So i've contacted my attorney and it's either they get it fixed or I will have it lasered off, and then they will be paying for it. And I will be suing if somebody doesn't contact me to get it fixed. I will be taking them to the cleaners. And I don't care about friendship, I care about my body if not one person continues to reach out to me, my attorney will take you to the cleaners for every single thing that you have and I will make definite share of it read more

Had a pleasant experience at Fat Cat. I didn't really come in for a tattoo or piercing, so to speak, but I came in for help with a piercing situation. One of my nose piercings came off and I initially thought it had been stuck inside my nose. I called this place and asked for help and the guy on the phone told me to come right in. I was helped right away and was able to get a replacement jewelry piece for my nose piercing. The workers were nice and I was in and out pretty quickly. read more

If you do come here though I would NOT recommend DANIEL Thsi shit is permanently on our hands but they don't seem to care or what. Now I gotta go get it fixed and hope that it's even fixable. He was cool but he clearly doesn't know how to do tattoos. read more

Recently came here to get a new tattoo and I definitely will be coming here again. I loved the environment, and my tattoo came out great! I ended up getting work done by John and he did a fantastic job. Definitely recommend him if you are considering coming to this location. If you are in the North Highlands or Citrus Heights area you should definitely check this place out the next time you're considering a tattoo. Variety of artists and variety of styles. read more

Just got my first tattoo here and Chase was so polite and made me feel comfortable and much more at ease. Chase also made sure to give me very clear instructions on aftercare and the healing process. I went with my friend and she had an excellent experience as well (although I forget her artists name) Definitely will me going back! read more

I hadn't been this location before but I was sent here by the Carmichael location because I needed to buy body jewelry. Everyone was incredibly friendly as soon as I walked in and the woman that ultimately helped me couldn't have nicer and more helpful. read more

A Yelp Review by a Karen??? Hold onto your shirt! (@imstillbuzd) will get it! Best tattoo artist yet!!! I'm so lucky that it was his turn to take me. I am not as cute as other clients lol so he got me! But on a serious note, I did my research and went to other consultations before ending up at Fatcat Tattoo! I needed a cover up while keeping the integrity of part of what I had before. He doesnt Know my story, my fight in life, and he was just amazing! We laughed, he made me feel comfortable, and his energy was infectious! He designed my cover up tattoo better than I imagined, and his work is impeccable. My life is short and he will never know the impact of his art. My tattoo was way below his artistic ability, yet, I would tell you, to me, it's the Mona Lisa! That's how important this was to me and i will cherish his craftsmanship forever! You MUST go see him!! read more

I would give negative stars if I could. One star is too nice for the way the totally fucked their customer's over. I'm beyond disappointed with the false advertisement. They say they close at 10pm on their website, but for Friday the 13th, the store closes at 12am (via picture I uploaded from their instagram post), yet after driving 20 minutes go get here they suddenly say they arent taking anymore people? If they advertise and promote that they'll close at 12am, then don't suddenly change your mind. As this looks bad on your business and a slap in the face to your customer's who look forward to doing business with you. Literally as we were about to get in line, the person before us told us that he was told to tell everyone behind him that was the last. Low and behold when we checked their Instagram, a story saying they weren't taking any more customer's was posted 10 minutes ago. What a waste of time! read more

Turned 18 and same day went as a walk in to get my first tattoo. I went specifically for Marcos and couldn't be happier with the tattoo/experience! My tattoo ended up taking two sessions only because I was a bit of a baby during the process and of course wanted a huge tattoo lol. Marcos was so attentive and understanding with my embarrassingly low pain tolerance and made sure to talk me through the process and stop when it was obvious I needed a small break. My tattoo started as a shitty drawing I made and Marcos took the drawing and made it a lot (LOT) prettier and took the time to make sure I liked the design, talked about any changes, and printed 3 different sizes for comparison for me to see which size I'd like best! I've been to the other fat cat before, (just for piercings), and I find this location so much better. It feels more comfortable as it's more open, seems so much cleaner, and the people are much more welcoming! They do ID and give out forms to fill out with your personal information to make sure they know what they need to; chance of fainting etc. which I found definitely comforting. Not only was the hospitality amazing but the work as well! The detail and attention that's necessary for the tattoo I wanted was 100% given and I'm obsessed with it !! - Absolutely recommend Marcos !!! - - (ignore the pink in the tattoo's picture since it's only from redness and is actually the white highlights that make the design look more realistic) *tip good, this location and the artists here absolutely deserve it !* read more

I highly recommend against coming to fat cat tattoo! 1) inappropriate sexual comments were made to me while I was being tattooed 2) I was charged $30 more than the promised fee 3) they were drinking alcohol while working with clients 4) they were not checking ID's for age read more

There are three Fat Cat Tattoo places. This was the Madison location. My grandmother, recently passed away. On July 3rd, we had her funeral. Six family members, and myself, decided we wanted to get a small daisy tattoo, in her memory. I called Fat Cat Tattoo, they said they could do that for us. Not only did we wait in that hot ass place (no AC or fans...I don't even know how they work in there) for over an hour for a very small daisy to be drawn..we were then told it would be $120 for each tattoo!! Please see the pics for how small they are! Then, when it was my Aunts turn, (my grandmas daughter) she questioned the way the flower looked and that it was opposite of the original image and she wanted it to look the correct way. His reply was "it's a flower, so it doesn't matter what way it is" he seemed pissed off to have to go and change it. It was a terrible experience for my Aunt, who has just lost her mom and now she will always think of this when she sees her tattoo! Super insensitive and freaking rude! What a dick move Marcos!! Her tattoo (yes, I know needs to heal fully) looks waaaaaay different then ours AND there is a large white dot in the middle! My tattoo wasn't what I expected either, but I'm blow away by the disrespect and lack of sympathy for my Aunt. That place sucks balls! read more

Went here for my first tattoo and the artist, Chase Elsberry, mistakenly didn't add a word to the saying I wanted tattooed. I was so excited when I left that I didn't notice until I was on the road and his response to me was that it was my fault because I signed papers and didn't proof read it before I left the shop. Not sure what difference it would of made when I noticed but I gave him the correct picture and when he traced the temporary one it was also correct. He was very arrogant and agreed to discount me on a cover up but continued to remind me it was my own fault. Thanks for ruining my first tattoo experience Chase! read more

The only reason I'm giving them one star is because I needed to post this review so my BLACK COMMUNITY knows not to go there! As I walked in ready to get a tattoo & new body jewelry they were extremely rude to us, they didn't even acknowledge us. Then as my son approaches the door the little short guy said, "oh we have a shooter coming in!" because my son is black and had a hat on his head? Once I asked him what did he say he said "oh never mind" embarrassed because he didn't know that that was my son. The whole mood in the shop was very unapproachable. I opted out getting a tattoo or buying anything from them because clearly they didn't want our BLACK business! read more

Zero was fantastic! He took time and care to make sure that my ear piercing went smoothly without a hitch.

Got piercings done by Zero and he was fantastic! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get piercings. He also did my daughters and even though sue was super nervous it went off without a hitch! read more

I'd recommend this place in heart beat. Been going there getting my sleeve done! I've been working with chase! Excellent artists here!

Horrible piercer, he was incredibly high. He put the piercing in an awful place. He didn't wash his hands and he did it without gloves and the jewelry he used was cheap. read more

I love the artists and the piercer here. They are so friendly and very thorough. I wanted to come in for a piercing once and I called the shop to make sure the piercer was still available, she said she was getting ready to head out early but she was willing to wait for me, and she did. The piercing turned out great and I really appreciated her staying for me read more

went with my friend yesterday for black friday and when we were being helped, the guy didnt seem all that happy so we thought maybe its one of those days. the attitude was bad but i seen on the instagram that the prices included color. i was trying to ask for clarification on it and just felt shot down. we asked for the $60 bracket and were told it was going to be $20 more because we wanted them on another part of our body. that made sense, so we said okay but my artist charged me $100 while my friend was charged $60. ours was in the same spot and my design was a little smaller than hers. it honestly ruined our moods when we were being understanding that they were going to get many customers and they didnt wanna cooperate with us. two other girls walked in and that's when we seen some favoritism.. i'd say request a certain artist ig. read more

Got my first tattoo here and the staff is amazing. Talented artists who care about their clients.

Got my 2nd tat done by Runso and he did an amazing job working with my idea by either adding to the design or giving advice on it. I was super nervous but he was super chill the whole time and offered to do touch-ups whenever I was ready. Great experience! read more

On Friday the 13th, I went to get a tattoo since they were offering special prices for that day. I stood in line for 2hours. Once I got inside, I was seated at a station with a tattoo artist, I didn't get his name but he was a white male with dreads. I asked for the price of the tattoo I wanted. Making sure it was included in the specials they we're running that day. That tattoo I wanted was not included in the price range of the special they were having. I then chose a different pattern which was WAY smaller and a touch up on an existing tattoo. (both are finger tattoos). At that time he told me "you can't be changing your mind, we're not going to do this". Keep in mind, tattoos are permanent!Those are words that should not come from a "professional "tattoo artist.The new tattoo and touch up he said would be over a $100. I felt I was being over charged and taken advantage of. The size of my tattoo fell into the specials they we're running of $30-40 sized tattoo. I decided to just get the new finger tattoo and not the touch up. He tried to charge me $50 although the tattoo I was getting fell into the $30 category. I let him complete the tattoo. During the tattooing,he asked another co-worker if they were doing the special-she told him he was able to charge whatever,it was up to him. He proceeded to finish the tattoo and changed the price of charging me $50 to $30. He did a bad job on the tattoo. The lines are crooked. I felt he rushed. read more

Got my cartilage piercing done and the employee was super nice and careful. definitely recommend!

Got my belly button pierced about a week ago... well it wasn't the experience I expected. One, the guy pierced it way too deep. The jewelry was against the skin and was getting irritated due to no room on the bar for swelling. Two, the guy that pierced me seemed done with life. He didn't seem in the mood and pierced me with what it seemed like no care. He didn't have a nice tone and he didn't talk unless he had too. Sucks cause I was excited for this piercing that I've been wanting for the longest. Also kinda salty I spent $70 for this. read more
