    My tattoo -- almost a year healed :)

    Sweet and talented guys, quality work, and takes walk ins! What more could you want?? Im pretty sure I got tattoed by Stephen and he was solid! I say pretty sure because my experience was kind of a blur. I went the day after taking my mom off life support for a walk in because I just needed a part of her tattoed on me immediately (im an Aries ) I ended up getting a line from the childrens book Goodnight Moon she had written out a while back on my forearm. It was really hard to get the lettering to line up correctly on my anatomy, and we had it all stenciled out but it was a bit crooked. We had already adjusted the stencil so many times because im usually a pretty picky person, but I was at the point emotionally where I said it looked fine because I didnt want to be annoying and was just emotionally exhausted from saying goodbye to my mom the day before. Stephen caught it and was like "nah this piece here is crooked, i cant do you like that. Lets line it back up" idk just the way he handled everything was very sweet and gentle and thorough. It was a small gesture that really stuck with me he also was careful to honor her handwriting and how she wrote it. Like the book said "bowl full" and her writing said "bowlful" and he asked if I wanted to keep or change it. Just little details he caught that I really appreciated. He was overall very sweet and very fast! Whole thing was done in maybe 10min after getting the stencil right. Another artist was also in the shop and was very kind! He even asked me if I had any music requests :) Ill definitely be back!

    This is in memory of my fisherman father who passed away in January.

    Stellar staff. Clean beautiful shop. I have added 4 tattoos to my collection 3 from Andre 1 from Jordan. Excellent communication and care taken to be sure you are getting the ink you've been dreaming of on your skin. I've been to shops all over the country and Old Tacoma is top level. Go Check them

    My son got his first tattoo last week for 21st Birthday. He is a USMC but was still a bit nervous for his first one. Andre was FANTASTIC (as usual) and put him at ease. This shop is amazingly clean and highly recommend.

    I'm not gonna lie...my family has been following Andre Ortego, the Owner, for years. All of our tattoo work has only been entrusted to him. Andre does great work in a clean, cool and hip shop. He is not only our favorite tattoo artist, but a part of our family history. Just this week he offered to come in on his only day off to give us special tattoo's for he knew it was my son's Memorial Day. We love our new tattoo's and look forward to our next visit!

    Tyson was awesome! Three of us walked in and were able to get our tattoos done same day. He was patient and super friendly. We all got font work done with delicate lines; he was steady and did a beautiful job. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. We were all so pleased. Thanks so much Tyson!!

    I woke up today and decided to get a tattoo and I'm so happy that Old Tacoma Tattoo accepts walk ins! I absolutely love my tattoo! Aron did an amazing job! The atmosphere is very clean and everyone is welcoming and friendly. This is my 6th tattoo and is by far the best experience I've had. Thank you guys! I will definitely be returning!

    Tattoo for my late sister.Aron did an amazing job, knew exactly what I wanted and was great at being talkative when I explained the meaning

    I got two of the three tattoos on my arm by Aron. He is truly amazing. He was fast, accurate and creative with his design. I was able to call in and make an appointment the next few days.

    Love it! Thank you Aron.

    Ask the Community - Old Tacoma Tattoo

    Do any of your artists use black light/ UV ink for tattoos? If so, how does the price differ opposed to normal tattoo ink tattoos?

    Mine is all black and took less than 10 minutes. I was charged their minimum price of $70.
