I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Cas is awesome and was hella chill and made the session real relaxing. He took the time to go over what I wanted and answered any questions I had. Now I just have to find time to get back in there to finish mine. read more

Tattoo Experience: Cas is very friendly and totally understood what I wanted. My tattoo took about 45 minutes - which is pretty quick and painless. The colours are beautiful on brown skin and sit nicely between the other tattoos I have. He is definitely knowledgeable on placement, recommended sizing and colouring. After as finished, he mindfully cleaned the skin ( I have sensitive skin), put a clear protective bandage over the tattoo and gave easy to follow cleaning instructions. My tattoo was fully healed in a week and I'm happy. If you have been waiting to get a tattoo, super worth a moment of discomfort for a lifetime of smiles. read more

Got my first tattoo here of my dog's ears. The atmosphere is very calm and soothing with lofi beats playing in the background. Cas is very friendly and chill. He drew up a design for me based on images of my dog that I sent. Since it was my first tattoo, I wasn't exactly sure what looked best, so Cas gave a lot of great advice from his perspective and it helped me settle on the size and placement. It took about an hour to get it all done and I'm very happy about my first tattoo experience. I look forward to coming back again someday! read more

I'm very happy with my entire experience with Cas. I emailed him to try to fit both me and my sister in for an appointment at kinda late notice and he responded to my email within just a few hours letting me know his availability. Cas is super chill and professional--he also knew these were our first tattoos and made us feel very comfortable throughout the process. His work reflected exactly what we wanted. Definitely coming back for more! read more

I had spent a lot of time looking for the right tattoo artist to help me with a couple ideas. A lot of artists I found were either booked up until next year or just didn't do the type of tattoo I wanted. I think I came across Proper Tattoo in Instagram or something and messaged them about my ideas and Cas messaged back pretty promptly and was very helpful in flushing out my ideas and taking on my tattoo. I literally just finished getting my first one done and I have to say that he and his team were all super professional and friendly. It was great to just chat with him in general about anything and everything and it made the whole experience incredible. He even helped me refine my first tattoo design some and it turned out even better than I expected! Definitely going to continue working with him for my next tattoo and I would definitely check Cas and the Proper Tattoo team out if you're looking for an artist! read more

I don't know why I waited so long to write a review but Cas is so great and talented! The vibe of the studio is very intimate yet very calming and chic! I recommend this place if you want a detailed and professionally well done tattoo. Thanks Cas! read more

Proper Tattoo - By Cas - Tattoo Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was looking for an Asian tattoo artist to add some Filipino sampaguita flowers to my old tattoo - I'm super happy that I chose Cas!! My tattoo came out absolutely beautiful. He knew what I wanted just from our email communications. I highly recommend Cas to anyone - he can do any style, honestly!! I contacted Cas via email from his website for a tattoo. I asked for some sampaguita flowers behind an old tattoo I had. Cas replied super quickly! We set up an appointment date and discussed everything that I wanted via email. He is located in a cool, cozy studio. Atmosphere was chill and friendly. I was a bit nervous to go alone, but it was 100% a safe environment. Cas is super nice and fun to talk to. He is also an amazing tattoo artist. Pricing was perfect for me - I paid about $210 for an hour and a half session. He works quickly while making sure everything is perfect!! read more

I had a great experience with Cas at Proper Tattoo. Easy to book, very mellow vibe to the place and very collaborative with planning my first tattoo. Highly recommend if you are looking for a chill place with a talented tattoo artist in a pleasant, quiet, relaxed setting . Cas was great to work with and I will return when ready for my second tat. read more

Cas is amazing. He is very professional and efficient. He has the ability to bring your vision to life in such a beautiful way. The tattoo he did on me is pretty large and because of the detail it took about 5-6 hours but Cas was very accommodating and made the experience as comfortable as possible. I was fairly surprised when he told me the total because he gave me such a good deal for all of the detail especially in comparison to the other tattoo shops in the area. I highly recommend! read more

Cas was one of my best tattoo experiences! He was supper nice and put forth an effort to getting to know my boyfriend and I before he tattooed us. Making us feel 100% comfort. While tattooing, Cas took his time with mine and my boyfriend's tattoos. In addition, to being very focused on the quality of his work. Cas did a realistic piece for me of my dog's paw print. As for my boyfriend's, Cas was able to recreate one of his favorite childhood characters with no color. Amazing job! 10/10 would recommend Cas to anyone that want an artist that takes their time and focuses on the quality of the tattoos that they do. read more

Been meaning to leave a review for Cas. Reached out via email after finding his work on Instagram and he clearly laid out his process, pricing, and scheduling. Sent him a bunch of photos of the work I wanted done prior, and on the day of the appointment he presented me with 3 different design options. We sat down and finalized some details of the design and he made sure I was comfortable moving forward with the design. Work was done quickly and healing process was smooth. Overall great experience. Highly recommended and will for sure be reaching back out for my next piece! read more

Highly recommended place, Proper Tattoo Cas was an amazing tattoo artist and he helped to talk about my design and ideas. He also cleared all the basic doubts and clarifications and made sure I feel safe and good and enjoy my first Tattoo. He also gave me a set of instructions what to expect for the first 15 days! The place was so cozy and warm and completely pleasant. You would definitely enjoy with your tattoos thank you Cas read more

Cas was super accommodating and patient in redesigning my tattoo. The shop has got a great comfortable vibe.

Cas did my first tattoo and then a second one. The second was a custom design (which he did for me) and it came out perfect and I get many compliments! Both tattoos came out beautiful, like art pieces. SF has many tattoo galleries and I spoke to many but Cas took the time to understand and execute exactly what I wanted! read more

I got two tattoos here on the same day. I had sent Cas a few inspiration pictures and a vague idea ahead of time and he drew up a cat and a dog that ended up being exactly what I wanted - simple, but with enough detail to be interesting. Took him about an hour and a half to do both tattoos, and the price he charged was very reasonable. Definitely recommend read more
