Kristen was AMAZING. It was my first time getting tattooed and she was fantastic her line work and her attention to detail down to how my posture was while applying my stencil. She even checked in the next day to make sure I had proper necessities! Chef Kiss

I was looking for a quality tattoo artist in the Sierra Nevada Foothills for some very specific artwork. Royal Six Tattoos was recommended to me by a friend, so I went to check it out. I was told by a member of the very friendly staff that for color tattoos, I should talk to Mason Hogue, so I did. That turned out to be an outstanding recommendation! I wanted a Cobra car tattoo on the back of my left calf, and I provided Mason with an image. From that, he created a perfect tattoo, exactly what I wanted. I then wanted an image of St. Michael, Archangel and patron saint of police officers and soldiers on my left forearm. We worked closely together to fine tune the artwork, and it turned out perfectly, once again. Most recently, we collaborated on a Crusader shield, sword and cross tattoo on my right forearm, then the Latin words Defensores Veritatis (defenders of truth) around it. This was done today. My wife has never considered getting a tattoo for fear of the image being uneven or imperfect, but because of Mason's artistry, she has agreed to get matching C8 Corvette emblem tattoos with me. I can't recommend Royal Six Tattoos and Mason Hogue more highly. He's simply the bast.

Took my daughter to get a piercing and it went great. Lauren is amazing and wouldn't go to anyone else. she communicates very well and knows how to calm customers down with information that is helpful. I have not tried any other services yet but piercings. Because of Lauren I would continue coming here. :). The vibe was awesome and chill everyone around has a smile on there faces. My name is Bobbie and I Approve This Place.

I went to royal six and talk to jaime about doing a piece on me for my son. I gave him the idea I wanted and he designed it up perfectly with me and let me tweak a few things I wanted to change. We sat down and got it done and it came out perfect! this is my first tattoo from him but I will definitely be coming back for more!

I had my first ever tattoos at the age of 73 done by Mason Hogue at Royal Six Tattoo. He did a great job and explained every thing to me ahead of time. I am very happy with the outcome and his professional service.

Wrist tattoo.  He mixed the perfect color.  Line work is great. Just what I wanted!

Kevin Phillips. I can't recommend him enough…read more He did such a great job doing a cover up/scar work! I was a self-farmer for many years. My arm was pretty bad. He not only took his time but made me feel so comfortable in the chair. Had a very nice time talking and getting to know each other. He might be young, but he's very talented. He's started my sleeve and I hope he finishes it! Seriously, an amazing artist. Thank you so much, Kevin! Can't wait for the next appointment!

2008-2011 Watching a young friend of the family starting his journey of receiving his body art…read moreafter graduating (I had none on my upper body at 48 and been dreaming/desiring a look since five years old) the artist had a recognizable style like nothing I had seen!! Hearing the friend tell me of his experience with the man who was doing the work I had questioned him on sanitation as well which was what up to state board procedures, made my appointment with Josh for my first piece (below). He had working out of his apartment on the dining area. It was impeccably clean. Table, chair, work bench were covered, the living room kitchen, you could see that it had been maintained, no build up, clutter and it was comfortable and welcoming. We sat down with a photograph of my kitty as well as him pulling up on his laptop a picture of "Toothless" from the animated movie "How to train your Dragon" Which was the exact personality of my fully grown 7 pound cat which was groomed regularly in a lion's cut. Only difference besides one being a cat & other a dragon were the eye colors. Josh had heard what I had in mind to mix the tattoo to be half dragon and half cat. In no time he was drawing out what I had in mind. He is so encouraging and receptive with suggestions. Change this? What about that in no time he had drawn my vision and here we go!! Lifting the cover off his products, he began prepping the arm as well as systematically keeping the entire work area clean at all times. In under an hour I had exactly what was on the original sketch using only black ink with the exception of her yellow eyes and pink tongue always peeking out of her mouth as if she was taunting whom ever she was observing. Josh knew his business! I could not have been more pleased not only with the end results but, with the speed, accuracy and minimal pain that I felt for a short time frame with the size that covered my entire shoulder. He was a great conversationalist and we just clicked! Such a nice young man! Polite, funny, smart and talented! I kept coming back with my ideas and he would always Hear what I wanted then bring it to life! I wanted an end product that didn't look like random work but, fluid design that was meant to be one piece/scheme after all I had waited nearly 50 years for this! Both arms, back and back of neck. The last few times he had opened his shop which is what he dreamed of! Just a few years after my "portrait " my familia passed away. A day doesn't pass without my seeing her, remembering the great times, conversations, memories with Josh:) He definitely goes the extra step for his clients!! Definitely would recommend him for whatever it is you need!! I'm so happy for his successes!!

I've lived 5 minutes from this place for nearly 10 years and wish I had started way sooner - I…read moredon't know why I hesitated for so long - just pure laziness. Which is so silly because making the appointment is so easy through their website. I've now had 5 total piercings at DV8 over the course of the last year and a half on my ear curation journey. All are healing well and I'm very happy with the placements.  Keep in mind the jewelry is not included in the piercing fee, and it can add up quick if you're a gold lover. But if you're getting subsequent piercings, they allow you to bring in any previous jewelry that you've already purchased from them to use for future piercings. Just keep in mind that your appointment may take a little longer because they will need to sanitize the jewelry. I'm most impressed with the detailed aftercare instructions. I was horrified by the lack of instructions my sister received after being pierced at a VERY POPULAR piercing place in Berkely on Telegraph Ave (you know the place). She came with me to one of my appointments at DV8 and said, wow, they didn't tell me ANY of that stuff at the other place. And I was like, I KNOW - that's why I only come to DV8. They are also certified by the Association of Professional Piercers, so I feel confident that everything they do is safe and sanitary.

Friendly staff and clean environment. However, pricing on their website was very deceptive. I got…read moremy earlobes pierced, which was listed as $25. This turned out to be $25 per ear, which does NOT include the price of jewelry. I picked some of the simplest studs they offered, and those plus the backing came out to an additional $86. We were told they would not use outside jewelry- which is fine, but with prices like these? Ouch!! Overall quality was acceptable, but $136 before tax and tip is much too high for a basic piercing.

I popped in here real quick looking to pick up some jewelery since I lost mine. I pulled up my Yelp…read moreapp and looked for a body jeweler shop. Raven's came up! Now, I have been up and down all over Fairway Drive back in the day.. so this shop was new to me. When I first walked in... I had to pick my jaw up of their floor. This has got to be the most beautiful tattoo/body piercing shop I have ever been to. If you are a plant lover, your going to be in heaven! Find something to pierce or tattoo just so you can enjoy the feng shui space they have created. I felt peaceful and with harmony.. I first spoke to Jay. Rad dude! He was tattooing an octopus when I walked in. Then I met Tessa. She helped me find my jewelery and even installed it for me to help me get on my way faster. While here, I got to meet Athena, who's tattoos I have seen in Instagram before coming here, so it was very cool to meet someone I have only seen online. I will be back to pierce something or to get a tattoo by Jay, lol. See you guys soon!

First off, this has to be the cleanest shop I've ever been in. Every inch of that place was…read morehygienic. From the moment we walked in, staff were super friendly and eager to help out. I also noticed them taking special care to consult with and guide folks who were new to tattoos without coming across as condescending, which was really awesome. A huge shout out to Travis. He was super friendly and communicative and really collaborated with me to nail down a design I loved. He executed the tattoo to perfection as well and added a bunch of details that made my memorial tattoo really sing. He even took the time after I left to message me with some aftercare tips. I can't recommend Travis enough.
