got my ever first tattoo here. wanted a minimalistic fairy tattoo and the girl said she can do it. she also made altercation to the tattoo and I'm assuming "she's the artist I think it'll be best". nope I got a thick unfinished fairy with an ugly smiley face. this will forever be on my body and I can't even go out without long sleeves. the tattoo would've been fine but she clearly couldn't do the design and there are parts that were fully lined up. 0/5 would recommend going somewhere else but I should've known better $100 for low quality work. read more

I just want to say I wish I could give 0 stars. This is the worst unprofessional tattoo shop I have ever been to first they didn't even clean or shave the areas that we wanted to get our tattoo on they were extremely unprofessional. I am very disappointed in the work that they have done on us and I really regret coming here. I texted the guy fresh his real name of the von please do not go to him if you value your beautiful skin and showed him my friends and I tattoos and how they came out and just replied with pull up??? I'm sorry but no very un professional and 2 I would never let him lay a hand on me with his tattoo gun ever again. They also did not wrap up our tattoos after they just said you're good to go but anyways I just want everyone to know PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE THEY SUCK !!!! Please go to a real professional shop read more

Ink N' Thayngz - Tattoo Near Me - Oakland, California

This is the best tattoo spot in Oakland California hands down my bro fonk is the man they are professional and fast you won't be disappointed with their work read more

I came here and got tattooed about 2 years ago the tattoo artist doing my rib tattoo was commenting on my nipple piercings and feeling me up during my tattoo. Despite that, I liked the finished product and came back today for another tattoo. I got the same tattoo artist and he was extremely rude from the start. He was smoking weed and clearly high while trying to place my tattoo and when I attempted to ask questions about placing the tattoo he answered with rude and unprofessional responses. My friend who came with me was so displeased that she opted to sit in the car rather than witness his disrespect toward me(the client). Ultimately, I decided to leave without getting the tattoo. He responded with "great," turned to his colleague and said "kicking them out." If this is the customer service you like.. come here. They're great at it. read more

I know somebody who's short and Fonky! Ha.. Isn't Too Short from Oakland? ANYWAYS, I love Fonk he is such a cool and meticulous artist. I remember when this place had it's grand opening celebration. I hung out with the owner and talk with all the artist. Everybody was real cool and good nature people. Initially I was considering another artist but a year later I went in and actual had some work done. I had 5 drop in's consulting with Fonk if not more. SMDH. A tattoo artist (who I should put on blast) but I can't even remember the name of the place) scarred and damaged my skin. The tattoo was so poorly done it kept me debating, analyzing, and philosophizing on what I was going to do. I met Fonk and he has been in my corner the whole way. (He is low key my therapist in my head.) He answered all my questions, and was receptive to the 5,000 texts I sent him. Smh. I swear this process took another 8 months but Fonk has a memory like a elephant and no matter how much time had passed he remembered me. Maybe, because I am a little unforgettable especially if you bug the hell out of somebody for a year. jeez.. (IJS). This review is well over due but I decided to get a temporary cover up and some writing. Anyways, Fonk is very knowledgeable about the ink he uses for all skin types. He is OCD about his space/materials being sanitary. Yea, he don't play that. My recovery and healing process has been miraculous. We always listen to music and shot the sh!t. The shop itself has a dark entrance but the artist space is big and airy. I recently text Fonk about the healing process of another tattoo I got done some where else. He texted me back and said use your Aquafora 3-4 times a day "you should be fine". He's worth more than his prices and I wont ever lose contact with this guy. He is one of a kind and as genuine as they can come. Ink N Thngz is alright by me. The place is in East Oakland so park with caution. I haven't had no issues though. read more

I love this place they were great the customer service the attention to detail and great conversation. Fonk is the best he did an awesome job on my tatoo and he is the truth hands down. It healed good and I receive many compliments on such a great jog that he did. I will return soon this place is a good hidden jewel right in the heart of east Oakland. Don't be surprised by the area the work and service truly rock!!!!! read more

I went to this shop on two occasions once just to scope out the place and do a consultation and next for my actual appointment. On my first trip I dropped in because I didn't really know how things worked. Jeston was very nice. Due to him working with a client he wasn't able to do a full consultation but he did give me info and sell me a gift certificate. I booked my appointment based on vibes basically. Once it was time for my appointment he spent some time working with me on the concept of what I wanted and we did 2 small tattoos on my upper thighs. This was my 3/4 tattoos and to my surprise they did not hurt. Idk if it was his technique or he just has magical hands but this will ensure I'm coming back. I believe his price is $120/hour which seems to be around the industry standard. He was very clean, professional and knowledgeable. read more
