I'm just going to keep this short, simple and 100% honest:…read more This was the best tattoo session I've had since my first one in 2015. I've been to shops in Sacramento, Los Angeles, Hawaii, etc and I've never seen a tattoo artist have so much passion, empathy and determination as the one who just started the top half of Polynesian tribal sleeve. Not to mention, he learned more about the design I wanted after I sent him the one I found online and the story behind it. And he went home, created a badass interpretation and it turned out to be exactly how I had wanted it in my head. Huge shout out to OB and Johnny. If you want a tattoo done the right way, nearly to perfection, go check them out.

People would come in and everyone in the shop knew who they were and they were making plans for a community block party for the 4th. Seeing and hearing that made me so happy cause not only are they talented but they are down-to-earth and wants the best for everyone who visits them.

My experience with Natalie was exceptional. Guru tattoo was highly recommended by a trusted artist…read more When I stopped by to request a consultation, the receptionist recommended Natalie based on the style of art I shared as concepts. I appreciate the thoughtful conversation we had about 3 concepts I was considering and her desire to connect to better understand my hope and vision for a 2nd tattoo. She was open to a fluffy vaulting panda idea inspired by a Japanese-style watercolor painting with structure in black ink and a few green accents as bamboo leaves. She also captured 4 Chinese characters beautifully as calligraphy representing "Surrender" and "Victory." Nat is kind, patient, thoughtful, intentional, and her artwork and passion for art, patterns, symbols, plants, books, and music is inspirational. My experience was 10/10, and I intend to return for additional work in the near future. I highly recommend her and the Guru studio, which has assembled and invested in talented artists who offer outstanding value and customer service with positive energy.
