Meeting Stephan was an awesome experience. I came in with a specific rose design in mind, and he went above and beyond--sketching a beautiful version that carried a personal story. This tattoo also helped me cover an old scar on my arm with something I could finally admire. Stephan was professional, focused, and friendly. His attention to detail is impressive, and he made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. His work area was clean, well-organized, and properly sanitized, which gave me peace of mind. Not only is Stephan a talented tattoo artist, but he also draws and paints--his personal artwork is displayed throughout the shop, and you can feel the creativity in every corner. It's clear he's passionate about all forms of art. The shop, located off Hood Franklin Road, has a relaxed and creative vibe. Inside, there's a pool table, foosball, a mini t-shirt shop, and even karaoke! It felt more like a cool, welcoming space than a typical tattoo studio. Highly recommend--can't wait to go back and finish the full design. read more

I came in today to get a tattoo with Stefan who was recommended by a trusted family member. I love how the shop is so open and has the coolest entertainment waiting area. Stefan was not just a true artist but he makes you feel welcome and relaxed. I love his laid-back personality and humor. He is very easy to work with and helped me with designing the perfect tattoo. I have to admit my anxiety always gets the best of me when it comes to needles but Stefan gave me a ball to squeeze which helps me get through the actual process. The pain was pretty tolerable. He is very organized, quick, and efficient. I'm already planning to get more tattoos. Guess who I'll be going to? Of course, Stefan. No surprises here. When you find a great tattoo artist it's wise to stick to them. Thank you Stefan for a great experience and amazing tattoo. I'll see you again soon! read more

I have been going to Soulution Ink to get my tattoos done by Stefan for over 7 years now. He has done all of my tattoos and I absolutely adore them! Recently, he did a memorial tattoo for my family and I of our beloved grandmother and was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. I can't thank him enough for his amazing work! read more

Came here with my sister to get our first tattoos together. Parking in front of the building can be difficult, but I managed to find paved parking to the left of the building near the spa business. Score! Originally visited on Saturday, January 9, during their 5 year anniversary celebration. Told the person at the front counter what we wanted, but was told to set an appointment since they were busy. We put down a $50 deposit to lock in our appointment date. We were told to email our tattoo design idea. Appointment rolls around the following Monday. We got there 20 minutes early, which turned out to be perfect because Jaye and Bonez were still working on the designs. By the time we agreed on a final design and Bonez finished prepping his station, nearly an hour had passed. My tattoo took about 30-40 minutes to complete. Bonez did a great job telling me where he was starting and checking to see if I was okay. I was even handed a "stress ball" made out of saran wrap just in case I needed it. Ha! I liked the homey feel of Soulution and it was a pretty calm environment. I knocked one star off for the (what seems like) lack of documentation that showed my sister and I leaving a $50 deposit. I also realized that we probably did not get the 20% off deal that came with booking an appointment on their anniversary date. Boo! :( Overall, great experience! My tattoo ended up costing $80, which wasn't bad in my opinion. I would recommend this place if you're looking to get a tattoo done! read more

I went to Soulution Ink on a referral from my cousin and Jaye did not disappoint. He did my outline at the old shop and finished up the borders and shading at the new location. I enjoyed how Jaye gets to know you and incorporates that into your tattoo. Not only is he a great artist but a cool guy to vibe with. As soon as he finished my tattoo, I told him I'll be back for the other arm! read more

Honestly they might be really good at art and their work but they lack with customer service. Trying to get a hold of them to even get an appointment for consultation is like next to impossible. I have texted, called, and emailed them several times for at least 3-4 weeks now. It's very frustrating. If you are fully booked then please have the courtesy to make it known either on your website, your voicemail, or automated email reply. read more

This place has a great environment and friendly staff! I got a piece done by Stefan and I couldn't be happier. He is extremely talented and very detailed with his work. The place is spacious, clean and has great jams playing! Lots of aloha spirit all around. Stefan took the time to make sure I was comfortable and felt at ease. Had great conversations with not only Stefan but also with the other artists as well. Absolutely ecstatic about my experience and I will be back here for all my future pieces! read more

The artist I usually go to unfortunately moved far away so I had been researching new artists who I could trust. I found this place thru an old colleague who had some work done with them years ago. I had a small arm tattoo done by Jaye about a month ago. He was quick to respond to my consultation request, walked me through options and what the process would entail, and I was lucky enough that he had a cancellation and was able to fit me in the next day after my consultation. Upon my arrival, he had taken my jumbled wishlist we had chatted about and turned it into a beautiful design. Talking with him felt easy, it was like being around family, and he made the whole process pretty painless. The tattoo turned out beautifully, and I get tons of compliments about how clean his work is. Wish I had found him sooner, I'll never go to anyone else to get work done. read more

Jaye does great tribal work and I even recommended my aunt to him who ended up getting her tribal here . As for me? I did not have a very good experience with him whatsoever . I made an appointment with him to ge a cover up . He didn't bother sketching anything for me before hand and when I went in for my appointment , he ended up just free handing on me because we found out the day of my appointment , there was no way for him to fit what I wanted over what I needed covered up . In short , he got lazy and just covered up my previous tattoo with a black bar of ink with tribal underneath . It looks horrible ! I didn't even ask for tribal . Whenever people see what he did on me , they always question wtf it is . I don't even know what to say because I never even wanted this piece in the first place . Their customer service is horrible . My boyfriend who accompanied me at the time was extremely disappointed in the way they were treating me and felt that they were being disrespectful . I went to see a different artist today to see if I could get what Jaye tattooed on me covered up. When this artist saw Jayes work , he too was extremely disappointed and questioned why Jaye decided to be lazy with my cover up . I wasted time and money on something I never even wanted and am stuck with getting a previous cover up covered up . Go see him for tribal because that's obviously what he's good at . Anything else ? Don't do it . read more

Learned about this place through someone on my Instagram and decided to look up the place and the artists artwork and I was impressed! After looking around at other places and deciding where I should get my first tattoo, I ended up always coming back to this place. Liked the artists artwork here and it's decently priced. Location is next to Kings Skate and a elementary school. It's a bit hard to find parking, but if you go through the entrance next to the elementary school, there are a couple of parking spots on that side. Totally loved the vibe in there! It was very cozy and the staff there was friendly and you can feel that they are like one big family. Prior to getting my tattoo, I was terrified! But after seeing how friendly everyone was, I was more at ease. My sister and I have been wanting a tattoo for a while and decided to get our first tattoos together and it went really well! We stopped by the shop on a Saturday to make a deposit and make an appointment for the following Monday. We had an appointment at 5pm, but we decided to show up early in case. Turns out it was good that we arrived early because they were creating our designs and that process took a while. I believe our tattoo session didn't start until around 5:45pm-6pm. Soulution Ink recently got a new tattoo artist, Bonez and my sister and I got inked by him! He's a very laid back, chill person and I loved hearing his stories. He made sure we liked our designs before stenciling it out. He also made sure the spelling and everything was correct and we were satisfied before he started going over it with ink. Was definitely a good first experience! The pain was also tolerable. Would come back here for future tattoos! read more

This tattoo shop is located by the King's Skate on Franklin Blvd in Elk Grove so it's pretty far in the boonies. I had an appointment at 12 PM today with Ralph and didn't actually talk to him until about 12:40. No one explained why I had to wait, all I was told was "it'd be a minute". The woman at the desk who I'm assuming was the shop manager asked if my friend and I were hungry because there was a little shop down the street. Clearly that's a sign that either they weren't expecting me even though I actually went into the shop 2 weeks earlier and made a deposit or Ralph was doing something who knows what. Needless to say I wasn't happy because I was already a ball of nerves going into the appointment, but these people are putting something permanent on me so acting like a diva was out of the question. My grandma passed away about 2 months ago so I knew for my next tattoo I'd be getting her name in Chinese down my spine. Ralph did a great job and I'm really happy with it. I was worried at first because he thought it might taken an hour and a half but he finished within the hour. I thought maybe he was rushing my tattoo but nope. It looks wonderful. He's a really cool guy, very professional, and easy to talk to. I have an idea for my next tattoo and I'll probably come back to Soulution Ink because I think their prices are reasonable. I have a tattoo on my arm with 3 Chinese characters that cost $120 at a different tattoo shop and the tattoo I got at Soulution has 4 Chinese characters that cost $100! Aside from the whole waiting thing I did enjoy my experience at the shop and will definitely return. read more

A really great environment to get a tattoo in. Everyone here is professional from the consultation all the way to getting the piece done.

I will definitely be back for a larger piece I have planned read more

Had a pleasant and positive morning with the artist Jay today. The vibe is very open, professional and family like. It took about 6 months to get in with him but was well worth the wait. I gave him the challenge of taking an old image that wasn't his original work and expanding it into beautifully and graceful detailed piece. I am beyond pleased with his calm friendly demeanor, nimble fingers and creative expertise. I am already making plans for the other shoulder. His line work is excellent. Don't bother with pushy shovanistic shops downtown Sacramento go visit Soulutions and enjoy ink work with a master. read more

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Jaye, artist and owner of Soulution Ink. He welcomed us into his shop with a humble and grateful spirit and was attentive to our needs the whole time. He is very professional yet laid back and easy going at the same time. Truly a joy to be around. This was my husband 's first tattoo and Jaye made him feel very comfortable by walking him through what would happen, what it would feel like, and made sure my husband knew that he could take as many breaks as he needed. Aside from Jaye's delightful disposition and professionalism he is amazingly talented! He free handed the design right onto my husband's arms and it looked awesome. He has a very steady hand, his line work is incredible. The lines are so straight and even that it's hard to believe he created them freehandedly! He told us the Hawaiian name and meaning of each motif which brought a lot of depth and meaning to the piece. My husband has already scheduled two more apps with Jaye! If poly tribal is what you're wanting then you DEFINITELY want to make an appt with an artist at Soulution Ink! read more

These guys are really cool. Very good vibes and inviting. They have a lot of business, my appointment was about a month out. So make an appointment early. The shop is chill with music and the guys engage in conversation. Your down payment for the appointment goes towards your tattoo and the tattoos are not expensive, very reasonable. All these guys are very good artist and have plenty of work to view. I'm going back for another tattoo and now my wife is going to get a tattoo from Soulutions. One thing I would change for marketing and ease of viewing art work, hire someone to improve the website and update it. Of course this has no bearing on their talent and ability to do great work. Go check them out and I'm sure you'll be convinced to get a tattoo after you meet them and view their work. read more

I had come across this studio via some poly tattoo artists I follow. I had some pieces lined up and decided to get an add-on to an existing piece and saw the beautiful work they do. I first reached out to the studio via an email and was responded to right away by Victoria. We talked about what I was looking to get and after we talked for a bit she referred me to Stefan. She told me he didn't have anything until May, which is to be expected when you come across a talented artist, but I told her that I was heading to Hawaii around then and if he had any openings for a smaller piece. A few days to a week went by and i received a call from Victoria saying that Stefan had a cancellation and if I was available the following week. Yes! On the day of my session I arrived and Stefan greeted me straight ohana style and I was immediately comfortable. He took the time to hear a bit of my back story and what I was interested in getting. This guy is super talented and has a good "chair-side manner". He sketch right on me and made sure I approved before inking. It was just yesterday that I went in to see Stefan and I really, really love what he did. As an islander (Hawaiian) It was an honor to be worked on by someone that is rich in the Polynesian culture and who is so talented. I will definitely be back to be worked on again. Much mahalo Stefan. read more

Great spot in Elk Grove for ink! My son researched and found the location, read the reviews, and contacted the artist. He's currently on the table but its off to a good start.

I would definitely recommend. read more

Ralph did my tattoo on my forearm. Even though I wasn't positive on what I really wanted it to look like, he drew it up and it was awesome. It took about 4.5 hours to get it done, which was what was expected. Friendly guy. The shop is difficult for some to find especially if you're not from the area. It's clean, has music playing and everyone is really nice. I would recommend this shop. Go! read more

Got tatted twice by Mauricio and he's always done a phenomenal job! My friend Alice recommended him since he did a sleeve for her and ever since then I never regretted the decision to have him do my first and second tattoo. Young, talented man with lots of artistic skills. Even recommended my friends to go get tats from him and they came and got some too!!! My friends loved the tats they got from him. Definitely would come back to get two more pieces done by him since he did my first one and it's still my favorite ever after 2 years and even a lot of people/strangers comment how good it looked (way before i got it colored in, still looks amazing tho). Friendly artists, great environment, comfortable and clean area, love this shop and would definitely recommend going to Mauricio!!! read more

Came here for my first tattoo. I had been doing research on artists for a while before coming in and during that I came across Mauricio on Instagram. I was looking for a black and grey artist that was good at realism. I couldn't have had a better experience! I didn't know what to expect since it was my first one but Mauricio had a good attitude and even expressed how excited he was to work on mine. That made me feel comfortable. The shop was a little sketchy on the outside when you pull up but inside it's clean and I saw every artist there at the time take care of their work area and sanitize before and after every customer. My tattoo took around 7 hours. Mauricio was very passionate about his work and made sure to check in on me. We took only a few breaks as needed. Everyone loves my ink. Already have my next appointment booked! Highly recommend Mauricio! read more
