That morning I emailed J Green and asked for an appointment along with the words I wanted. From the moment we got there he was so helpful, particularly to and apprehensive 73 years old woman! He gave us an app to look at with over 300 styles of calligraphy. The entire process was indicative of his love of his art and care for his clients. It's now been two weeks and I seriously could not be more happy. I would go back there in a heartbeat and would highly recommend this to anyone. No matter whether it's your first tattoo or your 25th. Also, it's very hygienic and such a happy place... Smiles all around

Artist was completely rude jerk who complained about how "vocal" I was during my session. ***mind you: they tattooed my ribs/back* (not the easiest place to tattoo put my body dictated the placement). ** Informed me the only way they would correct the mistake/add on to the piece is if I wouldn't be "so vocal" during. ----This was a ridiculous request and didn't seem very professional.----- Your customers pain tolerance is only so high and while you are piercing their skin a thousand times with a needle and digging ink into the skin what else are they supposed to do besides say "ow"???

I take the opportunity to walk around. Stopped in at the Los Poblanos Norte bar/mercantile, go in to Shrine/ Ex Voto and I bought a very nice gold diamond stud I figure will be a great piece for my new piercing. Go back to ikigai, it's now an hour later, no one is back. Bottom line, waited two hours and I see people entering the shop, I go to enter, and they inform me that they are closing early. So disappointed. They might as well close for good if that is the level of professionalism they can muster up. I will never go back there or recommend to anyone.

Not only did this process make my piercing bleed, but he also requested that I pay for this. Not great. The place was clean, which was a plus, but the jewelry is also quite expensive. Not worth it in my opinion.

It was my friend's first time in NM and so hard to narrow down all of the things to show her in this unique and beautiful state!! One important stop was matching tattoos to symbolize how many times our lives have overlapped, from toddlers in CT to Boulder in our 20's to Santa Fe & NY in our 50's. My husband had recently gotten a tattoo and was very happy with it, so we made an appointment and are very satisfied with the results.I'm so grateful to Lokote Tattoos for providing this memory for us! I am even MORE grateful that artist Chris Lopez has a steady hand and good sense of humor, since we were a little squirmy. Plus, he was super fast, which matters in these situations. I would highly recommend Lokote Tattoos and Chris Lopez. They take credit cards and have parking out front so it was very easy to transact with them. Thank you !

One thing I noticed was that Nick took his time and thoroughly cleaned his work area and wiped the surfaces down and covered in plastic wrap. That impressed me as it wasn't just a quick wipe down but a nice cleaning. After cleaning the area he washed his hands and got started on my new ink. I'm glad I stopped in as I am very happy with my new addition to my tattoo collection. Stop in and check them out. There are even old school video game machines that work if you are waiting for someone who is getting a tattoo. Now I can't wait to go back and get another. Thank you Nick and Evil Emporium.
