    Saniderm on!
    Ruby K.

    Everybody at this shop is so friendly & phenomenal at what they do. It's a really clean & well maintained place. Josh added some beautiful vivid colors to an already healed panda tattoo I got from him years ago. I requested cherry blossoms and falling petals to go around the piece and they're everything I wanted & more, I'm blown away by how talented Josh is & will be a lifelong client for sure!

    Josh was very cool and did a great job on my finger tattoo! the shop was clean and so friendly and knowledgeable. i was a walk in client and i left very happy. i can't wait to come back

    Sarah is an amazing artist. Very talented, very professional and very personable. I love my tattoo! I will be going back to her for my next one. Thank you so much Sarah!

    First walked in and was automatically serviced, everyone was very welcoming, I requested a hand tattoo and was so happy with the result, definitely coming back soon, thank you Cooper!

    RTC Halloween Event 2022

    Always a pleasant experience at Royalty Tattoo Collective. I've only been there twice and only for events because I still don't know what meaningful tattoo I want. I'm a sucker for all things cute though, which is how I found out about RTC when I was looking up kawaii tattoos. My first tattoo from that location was my Calcifer tattoo. I think the artist name was Stephen (?) I could be wrong. I loved the tattoo but I didn't noticed that it was missing the detail lines on the fire and one of lines on the eyes is thicker than the other. It's not that noticeable though, I'm just being picky. The second time is today. This one took awhile but surprisingly it wasn't as busy as the anime event. The details on this Hello Kitty are absolutely pretty from the highlights to the shading! Cooper did my tattoo and the design was by Sarah.

    5 days into healing. I love it!

    I recently got my first tattoo from Sarah. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted, and she nailed it! I was a little nervous before, but the shop set me right at ease with the friendly staff and fun decor. Sarah was amazing to work with from making an appointment through to explaining aftercare. I was really pleased with pricing as well. She was fun and easy to chat through during my appointment. I'm definitely addicted, and I can't wait to go back and get my next one!

    Wow don't know where to start but this place is really easily accessible for everyone good parking nice neighborhood. Cooper did my tattoo very easy to work with very creative we started by bouncing off ideas about one of my tattoos. He took the time to make sure I was pleased with the rough draft of it. Then after I talked about getting my finger tatted he warned me about finger tattoos and all that comes with it. Then we proceeded with my finger tattoo lmao! Cooper really cares about his customers I highly recommend this place! Will be coming back soon for my other tattoo !!

    Big props to Fabian for my compassion mantra tattoo...He has the softest hands (felt very little pain), constantly checks to make sure I was ok and was a great conversationist. I've had tattoos from other places before but I think I found my "go to" from now on. Highly recommend him and this place if you are thinking of getting one or if you are craving for another one!! About the place: clean, nice ambiance with a cool vibe.

    Quick Bumble bee flash style

    My absolute favorite tattoo shop in the Bay Area. Jerry is thoughtful and deliberate with his designs. He cares for the process and final product. He takes the time to make sure you are getting exactly what you want and offers professional suggestions on placement, line work, shading and color. Not only does he take the time to listen, he'll work with you to figure out what you want if you're unsure. Lastly, Jerry is also uniquely very skilled in many styles; from delicate line-work and realism to traditional Americana--he can do it all! Always excited to book an appointment at Royalty Tattoo.

    I've been inked at Royal Tattoo 3 times in the past 6 months by Cooper. He does a fantastic job with design and listening to work with what you want as the final piece. He's friendly and doesn't rush his work. The shop is clean and has a comfortable vibe. I'll be back soon for more.

    I had my first tattoo done by Sarah, and I absolutely love it!! I was extremely nervous for my first tattoo, and actually went through a few weeks of emailing with Sarah back and forth discussing different concerns I had with getting a tattoo in the first place, and she was very patient and very understanding with me and I really appreciated the insight that she gave me and basically the push I needed to finally commit to a tattoo! It was also very easy setting up an appointment with her, she was very accommodating, and I was able to get an appointment around 2 weeks in advance. She was also amazing with the design process - I gave her a super vague, wishy washy description of what I wanted, but she came up with something stellar that I totally loved. The parlor itself is spacious and clean. The check-in process was easy - I just had to sign a waiver (as expected) and give my ID and then I waited very briefly for Sarah to prep the room. She went over the placement of the design with me to make sure I was happy with it and made adjustments accordingly. Her room is super cute and cozy with cutouts of all her designs all over the walls which gives you a lot to look at while she's doing your tattoo. My tattoo took around an hour and half, and to my surprise, was actually pretty painless. Some mild stinging in some parts but for the most part, I didn't really feel much except for the buzzing. I don't know if that's typical for the location I got it at (shoulder blade) or if it's just a testament to Sarah's work. After we were done, she went over aftercare with me, and made sure that I didn't have any questions before I left. I had such an awesome experience, I'm already thinking about my next one!

    Been wanting a tattoo for so long and just finally decided to just get it done. Emailed this place to make an appointment. Sent an image and how big I wanted it to be. I was surprised to get an email hours later with an appointment the next day, which was pretty awesome. Today (10/15/20) I came in few minutes before my appointment and was greeted by Julian who was the one who contacted me. He showed me the image of the tattoo I sent him on a stencil. It look real nice and clean. Long story short, my first tattoo, I had such a great experience. Would definitely come back to do more in the future. Thank you so much Julian!!!!

    Ask the Community - Royalty Tattoo Collective

    Hello! Do any of your artists do finger tattoos? Thank you!

    Not really. We don’t recommend them as they don’t heal very well in our experience due to the abuse your fingers go through. So for that reason, we tend to avoid them.

    Do you to black light tattoos? I have a tattoo I want colored in black lightning

    Sorry no, we do not use any uv type of inks.

    Walk in's available?

    whenever possible yes depending on artists availability that day. However, its usually best to schedule an appt. email us at royaltat1@gmail.com for appts. thank you!

    Do you do piercings?

    sorry no. we only do tattoos

    How does availability work?

    hi Joshua, email us at royaltat1@gmail.com and we can go from there!… Read more

    Do you guys offer nipple piercings?

    sorry no, we only do tattoos

    Do you take walk ins for tattoos? If so, what's the max size, if any?

    hi jessica, yes we typically take walk in tattoos on a day to day basis based on availability. there's not really a max for size but they tend to be on the simpler side.… Read more

    Do you guys do nose piercings?

    Sorry no. We only do tattoos

    Do you guys do finger tattoos?

    Not usually. Finger tattoos are notorious for fading very quickly and require multiple touch ups. For that reason we don’t normally do them.

    ? I want to get sleeve work done what's your pricing?

    yes! debit, credit, Venmo or cash

    Are they still open during these times?

    Sorry no. San Mateo county has us closed until further notice.

    Does this shop sell body jewelry/have a piercer available to remove old jewelry?

    no sorry, we only do tattoos.

    How much would a small triangle on my wrist be?

    Not sure! Depends on the artist(they are all great) and how detailed the design. I think they are very reasonable in pricing . Julian did mine and I was not surprised at the cost. ask up front though : they are very accommodating that way.

    Will you be offering a Friday the 13th flash sale?

    yes. 10-9pm walk-ins only by sign up sheet. $31 each, limit of 3, arms and legs only, no substitutes, cash preferred. follow us on instagram for tattoo flash previews.… Read more

It took two sessions to complete my tattoo, but it is so very worth it to have my Moki with me forever. Booking was pretty easy as I waited for the announcement to book for December, and I requested for an appointment. I let Jia know my design idea and attached the photo references. During my appointment, we worked together to finalize the tattoo design. Then it was go time for my tattoo. This is my first and only tattoo, and I absolutely LOVE it! Jia did an incredible job at creating my Moki tattoo. The first session was good with barely any pain, but the second session had some painful moments. Paw Tattoo studio is very pretty in pink, and there's a chill vibe with the lovely music playing. I'm so very happy, and my heart is so fulfilled that I have my Moki with me forever and always.

There were a couple of times that I needed to take a small break through the session and she was more than happy to accommodate and would check in periodically to make sure that everything was okay. The entire process was wonderful through and through. I would absolutely go to Jia again for another tattoo.

The location is easy to find, near the Apple store. Parking downtown is a bit rough but I was able to find free 2 hour downtown parking only a block or two away, there is also parking in front of the store if you're lucky. The studio is clean and spacious, and the front staff are very friendly and expressive. The binder for tiny tattoos was about 50+ pages so you'll definitely find something you'll like. You'll also fill out a brief form on your phone through a qr code, which is normal for piercings or tattoos. For payment, it's cashless. Tatianna and her apprentice Jasmine were very nice. Tatianna was receptive about placement, color, and sizing of the tattoo. I mentioned worries about red ink (fading, itchiness) and she shared her story regarding her personal tattoo. It was my first time getting inked so I was naturally very nervous, but Tatianna was vocal about what steps she was going through and mentioned I can tell her if I need a break or giving me a test run of how the needle feels. As Tatianna was teaching Jasmine about stencil placement and shading, I was learning a little bit myself too which is cool. Tatianna was thorough about aftercare and even helped me take photos of the tattoo through my phone which I appreciate a lot. Although I felt a bit awkward and sat like a rock, I would go through the experience again haha. Thank you again Tatianna and Jasmine, and thank you for making my 1st tattoo experience a good one.

I got the Nano brows and I cannot tell you how life altering this has been. I now have brows that look so natural -- just like I used to have them before I went full Gwen Stefani in high school. (You know, the tragic era where I plucked them so aggressively they basically filed a missing persons report.) Probably even better than my original brows! And best of all, they're natural, not the blocky trendy look that works for many people, but wasn't what I wanted for myself. The healing process also sounded so scary, and literally I never ever felt they didn't look good, even while healing. My only regret is not doing it sooner! I now can go makeup-free and feel confident to just run out the door and still feel good. I highly recommend this to anyone. And if you are scared and on the fence like I was, I can promise you will be happy and in good hands with Diana.

I had actually first contacted her in 2023, but I was nervous about getting my brows done and chickened out. I put it off for nearly two years, and now I am SO glad I finally did it. During my first appointment, Diana spent nearly two hours carefully sketching and refining my brows until they were exactly what I wanted. I used to have gorgeous, naturally full brows and needed absolutely no makeup, but perimenopause changed that. Suddenly, I was drawing them in every day with an eyebrow pencil, which was honestly a huge pain in the ass. I chose powdered brows, followed Diana's aftercare instructions very carefully, and now I finally feel like I have my old brows back. Diana followed up after my first session, and the second appointment was incredibly smooth. I have now been enjoying my brows for over six months, and just this week, at least three people commented on how perfect they looked. I absolutely have to give credit where it is due. Diana is truly wonderful, and I could not be happier that I finally trusted her and went through with it.

This winter when I came home to SF, I decided it was time to get it done, and I'm so happy I found Vicky on IG!! I was lucky to get an appt that worked with my travel schedule exactly 1 month in advance, but the selections were pretty limited so would definitely recommend scheduling an appt more than 1 month in advance. Vicky sent reminder emails and online waiver forms to sign before the appt, which made things way more efficient during the actual appt. The studio is super clean and well lit, and man the chair is so comfy, I fell asleep during both my first session and touch up session LOL. Vicky is professional and very sweet, striking the perfect balance between providing information about the process and making clients feel comfortable. My healed eyebrows after the first session were pretty faded around the edges, so during my touch up session Vicky adjusted my aftercare instructions, and they healed perfectly!! She clearly knows what she's doing and that everyone's eyebrows heal differently. Compared to a lot of eyebrow artists, Vicky's pricing is super reasonable, but in this economy you'll definitely want to make an appt before it goes up. There is free parking behind the building, and she even provides instructions to find the parking lot. She also offered me the option to reschedule my touch up session if I wasn't comfortable driving in stormy weather (this was when the Bay Area was getting battered and flooded by back to back storms), and I was so touched by her thoughtfulness. Vicky is not only a phenomenal artist, but also such a nice human being. I'm so so so happy with my eyebrows and highly recommend everyone check out Vicky!!
