Sol at the front desk was super cool with helping get my appointment set up. They provided me with links to look through the artist's work so I could make a choice, then facilitated scheduling an appointment and took a deposit. I came back a week later to get my tattoo from Marléna. She was fantastic about working with me on the design, and made great conversation while she worked. She's truly a perfectionist in the most positive sense of the word. Seems like the artists Al have good rapport with each other, and the general vibe of the place was both upbeat *and* chill. The artists have their own rooms, so there's a sense of privacy and a decent sound buffer, which I liked. I love my new tattoo (this is my 7th one!) and I'm so grateful I got to have it done here. read more

My husband and I went in today to get tattooed. I've never been to fine line before but I've always heard excellent things. Well, we got the everything but the kitchen sink special. Nothing fine about the lines in these tattoos. Super disappointed and to top it off these 40 minute tattoos cost $200 each . At least we'll have a funny story to tell people when they ask why they're so poorly done. Thanks fine line! read more

BUYER BEWARE!! Me and my wife thought It would be a FUN to get some more ink, when we called Route 66 they quoted us 100-150 an hour (The standard rate). Little did we know it was a case of the famous "bait and switch". After we completed both tattoos that only took 40 minutes each, they turned around and told us the cost was now 400. When we disputed with the so called manager he had a "it is what it is attitude" so we paid and left. This is very poor service & at best below average work. (Zoom in on the line work). After spending thousands of dollars over the years with Fine Line I will never go back. It's a shame that the legacy of the legendary Brian Everett will be tarnished by his money hungry scamming staff. read more

I am admittedly always intimidated by tattoo shops, Route 66 crushed that initial fear of mine. I am very happy about my decision to come here. I got paired with John and he was kind, professional, had excellent communication skills, clearly knowledgeable and able to establish trust and rapport quickly. He really helped me relax able to keep the mood light and hilarious- excellent distraction from the irritation of tattooing. Highly recommend him and this shop! read more

Best tattoo experience. Baby did a great job and is probably one of the most pleasant human beings around. Highly recommend.

this dude kept saying he was going to call me back to reschedule my appointment, because the artist who was going to do the work wasn't there to change it himself, he never called me back , he said he would multiple times, i guess he just forgot, was high key rude when i asked him too, good tattoo artists ngl, but it doesn't matter bc theyre rude asf. read more

We wanted a "couple" tattoo but not our names and not those infinity symbols that everyone has. So we went in, walked in actually without an appointment. The woman at the front was super friendly and welcomed us in. I asked if they took walk ins and she said yes. So we explained what we wanted and showed her a picture on our phones. She showed it to Max who's a tattoo artist there and he said he could do them and gave us a price. We decided to go ahead and get them done. I'm not sure why there isn't a review for this tattoo shop as this is my second one from here. It's an awesome place that does great work. Max has been there since 1999 we found out. That's great to know because that shows it's a nice place to work. They've been open since 1987 so that shows a great place too. We love our tattoos that Max did and we love the fact that we could just walk in. Everything was done so neatly, professionally and so cleanly. I felt very comfortable getting my tattoo there. I'd recommend Fine Line to anyone. The care taken in explaining everything before the tattoo and after care was very nice. read more

Kylee is the best!!! She's done my two tattoos perfectly. She's extremely easy going, quick and clean. If there's anyone to go to for your tattoos it's her! read more

Our tattoo artist really was very nice. He had redrawn my tattoo three times and it looked closer to what I wanted so I acquiesced and I realize now I shouldn't have. It turned out like someone had quickly drawn the flower in with a pen. I spent $80 for what looks very amateurish. I am very disappointed in the tattoo I received. Nothing like the original photo I had given him. The rest of the people in my party were happy. read more

My friend and I went here for the first time and had a great experience. Leading up to the appointment I had called several times with questions and got nothing but great help and communication. Baby did great on our tattoos. He was friendly, informative and personable. Great experience from beginning to end!!!! read more

I am so impressed by the service and talent at Route 66! Getting a tattoo can be nerve wrecking, but they made it so easy, comfortable and I cannot wait to go back for my next piece when I'm back in town! :) read more

I took my son there when his dad and my husband we decided to get tattoos to honor him and had the best experience there, our artist was Gilbert he was very helpful and helped my son design his tattoo and when his ink faded they refilled the color for free something about his skin not taking it quite right so anyway it was a really great experience and we're going to get another tattoo for my brother and we're going back there so I recommend them highly I'm also I know the owner Brian Elliott and he's an amazing tattoo artist read more

Jesso was amazing. Initially went in for a piercing and he was so kind and drew up a foot tattoo right then and there and it was EXACTLY what I wanted He was badass! Jammed out to lamb of god and let my 14 yo son sit and watch. I highly recommend him and the entire shop was nice and welcoming read more

Just got my first tattoo at this place. Everyone was super nice and helpful. I was really nervous and they calmed me down and Im in absolute awe over my tattoo. Definitely will be going back! read more

Ok so I have had my fair share of bad service and have neglected to post a review. So this is a bit of an odd review. Stacy Quintana is a very talented tattoo artist and I was referred to him by our tech support at the community college in Santa Fe. I friended him on Facebook so I can see more of his current works. As a friend on FB you can like or comment on post as most of you already know. I received a disturbing FB message from his wife asking why I was commenting on his page and liking photos. I explained to her that I was looking to get a fix done on a tattoo and that he was a very talented artist. She accused me of stalking her "man" and I needed to respect her family. I told her that I had no intention of taking her "man" as she put it, that he only correspondence was asking for his hours. WARNING TO FUTURE FEMALE, be cautious of the wife... It's unfortunate, talented dude but just lost my business and do to the wife. read more

Once again i will say it, alsolutely incredible work! route 66 fine line tattoo is the only place to go

Really great artist Gilbert Vasquez. My bf was looking around for a good artist to get the detail he wanted. We had gone to 3 other tattoo shops (I won't say which places) & one shop had a 3 week waiting limit (that was the only reason we didn't go there bcuz my impatient bf wanted the tattoo within a week), the second shop we went to said they couldn't fit the tattoo he wanted on his arm & it would have to be modified. My bf was deadset on the tattoo he wanted & how he wanted it to look so we didn't choose this shop bcuz of that. The third shop he wasn't "feelin" it. So we than went to Fine Line & he showed Gilbert the picture & Gilbert was really excited & into it. We had told him what the previous shop had said about having to modify the tattoo & Gilbert said it didn't need to be modified in any way & would be able to do it with no problem. Gilbert was also ready to start the tattoo within 2 days time so we chose him. Long story short (lol) the tattoo came out really awesome! Better than we initially thought it would. Gilbert exceeded my hard to please bf's expectation. Definitely recommend Gilbert Vasquez . read more
