She gave clear direction and helpful cues, which made me feel comfortable and confident from start to finish. I really appreciated her patience while I took my time deciding on the exact placement, and she never made me feel rushed even though I had a ton of questions. It's now been four weeks, and my piercing is healing beautifully so far, which definitely speaks to the quality of her work. Also, shoutout to Sergio at the front. He was super patient and helped me pick out the perfect jewelry. The whole space had great energy, with friendly, helpful people all around.

My favorite part is they are always going to honest with you about whether or not a specific piercing is safe with your anatomy. Britt tells you what's happening every step of the way so you're never wondering what's touching you (is it the needle or a toothpick? Am I being pierced now?). They have an incredible jewelry selection which is all super high quality (e.g., surgical steel) and provide you with uniodized salt for your aftercare with very clear instructions. The shop itself is very calming, in an cute older sacramento house converted to businesses, lots of plants and neat artwork. Their quality and care standards are top notch. Chief has my trust and business for life! Highly, highly recommend

She was so nice and informative while also being very honest and transparent with our daughter.

(We realistically way overstood our welcome, but Samantha was so supportive of allowing us to be proud and happy for our daughter's piercing milestone. Smooth process and very professional.

I showed him a picture and told him the little changes I wanted. He came back a little bit late with the outline just perfect. He was very nice, professional, and made me feel comfortable. I make jokes when I'm nervous and he was nice enough to laugh at them. His work was outstanding!! I will be going back for the other two that I want to get. They are very reasonably priced.

We waited less than 15 minutes before being paired with Indigo, who was incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. She took the time to help us choose new pieces, walking us through different options and even letting us hold the jewelry up to visualize how it would look. Although I was hoping to size down, I still had a bit of swelling, and Indigo thoughtfully recommended waiting another month. I really appreciated her honesty and care. She still helped change out my jewelry and also assisted my husband with switching out their septum. On top of that, she gave both of us helpful aftercare tips. I highly recommend Poke a Dotz.

Also they'll say the tattoo will take eight hours. The price is for eight hours Tattoo they finish the tattoo in three hours and charge you for eight hours. The only thing that seems to be good with all these reviews is their piercings again. I don't hold the artist responsible I hold management don't trust Them.

This review is for Liz R., who has done all of my tattoos, plus the one she corrected color and…read morelines on that was not hers originally. She is an incredibly talented artist, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Two of my tattoos are originals she had posted as up for grabs online, but all the others are my little dreams she made into reality. She's also so sweet and fun to talk to, with excellent taste in so many things, down to Dateline hosts. On my most recent visit, I hit another *fun* milestone in my tattoo journey, getting a coverup (F U Joanne). Rolling my eyes at my past self, it was a rather emotional one. I just felt sad, silly, embarrassed, and was also getting what for me, is a memento mori, and very important to me on a personal level. Liz reassured me that it would be okay, and made me feel better just by being herself. Great energy for an anxious person like me to be around. I'm not always a baby during a session, only sometimes. Anyhoo, check out the pix if you're curious how that turned out. Great, obvi. Always great. I feel more beautiful every time I have a fresh piece done. I think this is the second? tattoo I've gotten at this location now, but it might be the third... Maybe two and one touch up? I LOVE colors, especially what Liz can do with them (my gyarados tattoo has something like 20 colors in it), so my appointments tend to be longer. I prefer them in one go, though as I get older I wonder if that's wise to keep doing. I'm so ready to tap out at hour three. I've for sure gotten studious snake in marigolds and wyvern in peonies, both on my back, at Forever Tattoo. The vibes work for me. I like the other artists and customers I've spoken to, and the nice, big bathroom that has plenty of room to change if needed. On my most recent visit, one of the other artists kept asking fun table topics type questions, which I suspect was a way to distract as well as a fun conversation to pass the time. It's a very comfortable place imo. Be aware they are cash only and the ATM available maxes out at $200. I have forgotten about this in the past because I am a mess, and needed to make a little errand before returning! They do take walk ins, if someone happens to be available. If that's not an option, you can book right at the front if you want. If you've never gotten a tattoo before I recommend booking a consultation in person.
