I can't recommend this place enough. The vibes are right, the people are right, the art is right. Salchiiicha is an icon. They made me feel so comfortable, cared for, and seen. The confidence I had walking away from their chair is indescribable. The other humans working there were cool as shit and it felt like a home. Go here go here go here. read more

Ngl I got one of my tats here and she did great and was super nice. I called to ask for some advice and the customer support was very rude and dismissive. Didn't like that energy at all. read more

3rd time coming back! Salchicha killed it on 2 tattoos on me in 1 day! My daughter got tattooed by the always lovely Sophia. Super comfortable setting and the women that tattoo here are so damn cool!!! We will keep coming back read more

Sorry Mom - Nice black widow tattoo from Salchicha - Tattoo Near Me - Oakland, California

What a great first-time experience! If you haven't visited their website, I highly suggest you do! The layout is nostalgic (that is probably what hooked me). The process was seamless: -submit an inquiry -Share a few pieces of information about what you want -once approved, book a session with an artist I got a small piece that took about an hour including consult and imaging. I was able to ring the first-time virgin bell and got some dope photos taken. Sorry Mom has set the bar high for a tattoo experience now. I was inked by Jamie who was super easy to work with and made it such a painless process. Thank you Sorry Mom, can't wait to use your services again. read more

Love this place! Love the vibe and the awesome artist! My wife found this place and got a tattoo here. I saw their Black Friday sale and thought, why not! The same artist that tattooed my wife was available, so I was familiar with her work. Told her what I wanted, she came up with a great design and size. Worked out the placement and before I knew it, I was done! So I asked, if she felt like doing another and she was down! Love my new tattoos! Will definitely be back for more! read more

Sorry Mom - Almost done black out sleeve Super affordable! - Tattoo Near Me - Oakland, California

Where do I start?! First off, the shop is adorable af. You walk in and the entire front room is painted pink with cute signs up. Every one of the staff is friendly and welcoming. My tattoo artist was Salchiiia. She was super friendly, made me comfortable, and did a wonderful job on my tattoo. This is my first planned tattoo & I was nervous especially because of the placement (inside of my arm). I asked for a colored hummingbird. I'll add my reference photo & final outcome below along with videos from the shop! The tattoo did not hurt at all. She was very gentle & it made all the difference because my first tattoo artist was extremely heavy handed & it hurt like hell. I'll definitely be back read more

The aesthetic of this shop is so fucking cool and cute at the same time. The pink everything and the edgy gate separating the waiting area. All amazing! I got a simple stick and poke from Sevyn (Insta @ Sevynpokes) about a month ago and it's healed up great :) The vibes are really welcoming and chill here. I had a great time chatting with Sevyn and Jamie to start off my weekend. I'll have to stop by again whenever I have more tattoo ideas in their style! read more

My sister and I have a ton of pointless tattoos. When we saw Sorry Mom on Instagram, we knew we had to take that drive from Sacramento to Oakland to get a tattoo from Daysha. Our Gigi hates our tattoos and asks us not to get any. It was so fitting we got their brand name but instead of "mom" we got "Gigi and Gma". Daysha got us both in one after the other. She was so accommodating. Her energy was so contagious. 11/10 would recommend driving and taking an adventure to see Daysha. Thanks again! read more

Got my first tattoos at Sorry Mom and I am in love!! Kyley did my pieces and she did such an amazing job! She gave me her honest recommendations regarding sizing and how smaller sizes can affect healing! As someone who knows nothing about tattoos, I loved how honest she was and how she gave me all the information I needed to know about tattoos overtime. Kyley did an amazing job with my final pieces and I am beyond happy with how they turned out. The shop itself was beautiful and very welcoming! All the girls click with each other and it is a fun environment to be in. I felt very welcomed and comfortable throughout the whole process. Definitely recommend getting tatted here ;) read more

I have been eyeing going to Sorry Mom for a few months and finally reached out to Jane to schedule an appointment. Jane was soo helpful and kind. I wanted to get an abstract drawing of two feminine faces kissing. I gave Jane a few examples and descriptions of what I was looking for and Jane did a fantastic job of encapsulating exactly what I wanted. During the tattooing process, Jane helped to calm my nerves and checked in with me throughout the whole time (even though it was under 10 minutes). As much as I love tattoos, my pain tolerance for them is low. Jane was also super helpful when I reached out post-appointment--I was worried about irritation and infection (my tattoo was NOT infected and I was only being overly anxious). I absolutely LOOOOVE my tattoo. I have gotten so many compliments on it already and it is hands down my favorite tattoo. The shop itself was a delight to be in. The energy in there is so fun and all the staff was friendly (LOVE that they're all womxn/femme). 10/10 would recommend and will 1000% return for more tattoos :) read more

I love, love, LOVE Sorry Mom!!! Got a second tattoo at the studio about a month ago (with Jamie) and had another really great and fun experience!! Everyone there is super sweet and I felt so welcome there again. Jaime did such an awesome job!!! She's gentle and the tattoo has healed really nicely (as did the amazing one I got from Salchiiicha back in March). Love the quality of work they do, love the vibe of the studio and love the artists working there who make getting tattooed there a real treat!!! Can't wait to come back again!!! read more

Found out about this place on tiktok and was so happy to find out they were located in Oakland! The vibes in the shop are warm and welcoming.

I visited Sorry Mom in Oakland yesterday and got three lovely hand poke tattoos from Sevyn. Sevyn was very welcoming and a great hand poke artist. We went through several versions of what I wanted, and she was very attentive and helpful with helping me choose my tattoo placements. The whole tattoo process was smooth, quick, and pretty painless. Definitely recommend this place, especially if you want a sick handpoke tattoo! read more

Honestly though I don't think I've ever been excited to write a review until now just because this place is genuinely so special and unique. You just feel the positive energy and positive vibes as soon as you walk thru the door that you think isn't actually a door. Everyone seems 200% into their craft and the aura they radiate that feel so special to tattoo shops. My artist, Sarita, is so unbelievably talented and so incredibly dope! I got my first big tattoo of a Filipino warrior, Lapu-Lapu, that i've been wanting for a while but just couldn't find someone that resonated on the same vibe of artistry until Sarita. I'm so obsessed with her work and I haven't stopped staring at my own arm in all the amazement. I have no doubts that she's going to be so booked up for how ever long she chooses. read more

Sorry Mom - 222 from their February 22, 2022 flash :) - Tattoo Near Me - Oakland, California

Update came back after covid and got my fingers tattooed with Jane/monstresskody/janeforevertattoos. This is my 10th session with her she makes me feel so comfortable whenever I'm getting a tattoo, we laugh the entire appointment. Her work is amazing, she did freehand lettering on my fingers and it came out so nice and clean and more than I could ever ask for. I've trusted her to tattoo my entire neck, ears, hands, arms etc. I love her artistic mind and fully trust her with any tattoo! Very professional. The shop is still cute as ever especially now for the holidays. I love coming here and showing everyone about the shop!! read more

The vibes in here are immaculate and everyone is so sweet. For the last 2 years I have been hiding a tattoo I got from another artist and was trying to think of ways to fix it or cover it up. I reached out to many artists over the last couple years, but when I started speaking to Jane I knew she was who I wanted to work with. She took the time to talk to me about what I wanted, come up with new ideas, and was very honest with me about what she thought would look good. Jane turned an old tattoo that I hated into a beautiful new cohesive piece. I'm so grateful. She was also so fun to be tattooed by... super enthusiastic, easy to talk to, and extremely efficient and truly so talented in her work. Thank you so much Jane!! I will definitely be back. read more

THE BEST TATTOO EXPERIENCE!!!! I would highly recommend this place over any other tattoo shop I've been to. The staff is all so wonderful and friendly. My artist was Jamie. I sent her a simple concept for a tattoo I wanted, and she went above and beyond what I was expecting. She was great and patient with me the whole time (The pain was more than I anticipated) But she was so friendly with me that I honestly felt like I was her family by the time she was done! I can't wait to go back for more!! read more

Literally the best experience I've ever had at a tattoo appointment. I booked with Jamie, and she really took care of me! Shop is having a soft opening when I went, but the shop is soooo cute. The tattoo Jamie sketched for me came out so perfect, and was so quick, I didn't want to leave lol. She put in so much detail into my tattoo, it's beautiful I love it! Great energy, and overall great artist! I'm definitely going to come back to Sorry Mom for future tattoos! read more

Sorry Mom - Sampaguita tattoo I got, by Jamie - Tattoo Near Me - Oakland, California

Amazing experience for my first tattoo! I loved the atmosphere in the studio. Jamie was incredibly sweet, funny, and made the overall experience so memorable. She was also super fast (but still meticulous) and light-handed, so I was very comfortable in her hands. I also really appreciated the time we spent talking through the piece, making sure it was exactly what I wanted and still accommodated my budget. Wonderful value for the amount of detail that went into my tattoo. So excited to come back!! read more

Sorry Mom - This beautiful piece was $300 (not including tip) and only took about an hour and a half. Absolutely love how it turned out - Tattoo Near Me - Oakland, California

Got my first ink here and definitely won't be my last! I love that they are womxn-owned and operated. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted, but no design. Jane helped me figure it out and made the whole process (almost) pain-free! I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

All the tattoo artists here are the coolest company to have. I've spent plenty of my time there lol Sevyn is the BEST stick n poke artist I've seen, and is only getting better esp w/realism. She did the shutter butterfly and "take it easy" tats, and the butterfly came out way better than the reference I gave :) Jane did the butterflies w/roses and is also a much more beautiful interpretation than what I expected. Salchicha tatted the floral heart on my shin. It was a flash design so she made it more personable w/the red ink and I love it even more In love w/every single one of these pieces and their artists, I highly recommend this shop. Always going back for more lol read more

This just became my all time favorite tattoo shop!!! From the super cute pink decor when you first walk in, to the wonderful, talented, and friendly artists, this place has 5 stars all around! I got a forearm piece done by Sarah (@saritaapplebum on IG!) and the whole process was stress free and seamless. She was so patient and kind and made sure I was 100% positive on her sketch and placement of my tattoo! The time she took with me was greatly appreciated. I love the piece she created for me. The atmosphere in this shop is so warm, positive and inviting. I recommend this shop to both tattoo virgins and veterans! Thank you Sarah, Jamie, and Cecy for an amazing experience! Can't wait to get more tattoos here in the future. read more

A new tattoo shop owned by a woman, with an all female staff as her artist in our very own Oakland. JAMIE, owner of SORRYMOM, incredible artist herself & not to mention a mommy of two! You can just feel the vibrations as you walk in. Jamie helped me book with SARITA, another talented artist (who welcomes you with a hug as you meet) that helped bring to my somewhat virgin skin my very first detailed tattoo. Both ladies were extremely helpful in figuring out what you want & how you want it. Sarita & I messaged the night prior to my appointment of course going over details of sizing & placement. She then went over in person as well by printing different sizes for my specific piece to ensure it was the right fit. The ladies let me snack on my own food, offered water & has the best playlist on so there's no need for headphones during your session. The piece itself came out beautiful & I thought I would've had to tell my own mom #SORRYMOM but she loved it & wants me to go back to get her face because of how well of a job it was. So yes, I would go again with trust & definitely encourage you to go as well & support our ladies in the Bay Area. Instagrams: @saritaapplebum @jamietattoos @SORRYMOMCLUB read more

Omg this place is amazing! Super aesthetic! I can see so many OOTD pics being taken here. The vibe was really chill here. I met 3 of the artists while i was there (Cecy, Sarita, and Jamie). They were all super friendly just talking to me like homies. Anyways i had a ridiculous request for Cecy (butt tattoo) and she obliged. She's really gentle with the needle. Almost fell asleep but my butt kept twitching...almost farted. Sorry Cecy haha. That one went by really quick. I also got a knife tattoo on my shin...again she was really gentle, so painless! Really good quality work! I had so much fun I'm actually coming back next week to get some work done from Sarita too! Cant wait! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! My artist, Sarita (ig saritaapplebum) did an amazing job with my cover up tattoo! She greeted me warmly with a hug, which made me feel comfortable working with her. I sent her my ideas and she made suggestions that would best work for my cover up. She has an amazing portfolio so I 100% trust her opinions! She has the sweetest soul and I can't wait for my next session with her :) The store itself is extremely creative and inviting! The shop owner, Jamie, was welcoming as well as her 2 daughters. She def sets a good vibe for the studio, from her playlists to the store decor. She has an amazing creative mindset! Plus, I love me a good woman empowerment group! read more
