And I have been making tattoo appointments with her over the last 4 years. She recently finished my sleeve and started on my Sea Medusa which is even more incredible than I could have imagined. My concept was Medusa but with octopus tentacles. We gave her a lil Angler fish as a pet and I am OBSESSED with how it turned out. I love her so much. And I have already booked another appointment. I also recently let Rissa, the shop apprentice tattoo me. I chose her Party Pup that she had drawn previously. I aske to swap the color scheme that fits me better and she killed it. I did opt to get it in a rather painful area...the front of the shin, though that is my fault. It came out amazing and I love it! This shop is full of amazing talent! Highly Recommend!

Two of my friends and I came in for a total of 6 piercings I…read moregot two snake bites My friend got an eyebrow piercing And the other got two angel bites and a vertical labret Since having my piercings done, I removed them the next day because I hated them so much Both of them were directly in the middle of my lip pretty much perfectly lined up with my two front teeth. That's how close together they were. And they were uneven one was placed directly on my lip line and one was below, so the jewelry didn't set evenly The friend who got the two angel bites and the Labret One of the angel bites was uneven as well and the vertical Labree was placed so high you can't see it when her lips are closed I understand that I could have changed the placement of the dots But in all honesty, I trusted the professional to place them I wasted my money and now I have to get them redone I wasn't planning on saying anything until I realized that I never received my ID back from them So I called and sure enough they had mine and my friends ID I would understand and take responsibility. Had it just been mine and maybe I forgot. But two ? That means they neglected to return them to us. And made no effort to contact us to return them I'm very upset with my experience

Went in right as they were closing for a small quick tattoo. The artist who did my tattoo was nice…read morebut cannot blend or do thick lines. If you're looking cheap unblended work this place is for you. I shared the photo of what I wanted vs what I got. Notice the thinner line work, the non blending, the mouth is thicker on one side, the color itself is spotty the eyelash even looks off. I will be going into a different shop once it's healed to get it relined and the color fixed. This tattoo cost $150 Typically I do not write reviews, however I went in with my boyfriend and he impulsively paid for a tattoo he would receive the next day by Betty herself. He prepaid $700 (this included mine) once he received the drawing which is also in the photos and its more like Jafars lantern than a gothic vintage vibe we decided to not go with this shop. They are now REFUSING to give back his $500. (700-$150 my tattoo and $50 for his deposit/sketch) We are being RIPPED OFF for $500. And will be taking them to small claims court. DO NOT BRING YOUR BUSINESS TO THESE SCAMMERS. Only do business with this shop if you pay when the services are done and you don't care about quality. Small

I've gotten 3 tattoos here. 1 was a few years ago (can't remember which artist) and my 2 most…read morerecent have been in the last 2 months by Bobby. All experiences have been awesome. Bobby does an amazing job and really takes the time to make sure you are happy! Bobby and all staff are so friendly and welcoming! I usually am a bleeder and peel a lot after a tattoo. But both tattoos by Bobby healed BEAUTIFULLY and didn't peel at all which was amazing! I will definitely be back and definitely recommend Bobby. My ONLY complaint... is the shop is cash only... which isn't a huge deal... BUT their on site ATM only dispenses (I think) $300 at a time... and tattoos aren't often less than that price... so you have to do multiple transactions and pay multiple transaction fees to take cash out from their ATM. So, plan ahead and get cash out elsewhere if you can.

My daughter and I have been planning to get tattoos for quite some time. Every time we went to…read moreanother place, they would cancel or just won't be available. So last Saturday after a couple of appointments, I asked my daughter. Do you wanna go get tattoo. We ended up at Emerald in Manteca. We walked in we felt welcomed. Anona was the artist that they hooked us up with. I totally loved her ride from the moment we met her my daughter shoulder what she wanted I explained to her I wanted to show a little draft of the cross. She told us to give her about 25 to 30 minutes. She came back with the drawings. It was exactly how we envisioned them. They were beautiful. She started to work on us in the conversation with her was awesome. She understood what we were looking for. May feel really comfortable. As well as the rest of the team did as well there was another family and they're getting tattoos together also and I think we all bonded over our tattooing. The work here is phenomenal. The place is clean. There's a love great artist there. You definitely will find someone that meet your vibe and what you're looking for. I definitely will be back in the future for any work that I wanna have completed. She makes some sick work. It is awesome. I don't think I wanna get tattooed by anyone else.

He has earned a lifetime customer no one else will be doing my tattoos moving forward. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The entire staff were great people and very professional. Most importantly, the shop was exceptionally clean. I pay close attention to sanitation, and Mike went above and beyond disinfecting the station, changing gloves, and checking his equipment even during short breaks. The level of care and cleanliness was outstanding. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I highly recommend Sacred Skin to anyone looking for quality work in a clean, professional environment. -Adam Douglas

Showed them what i was interested in he went and talked to an artist named "Rafael." He drew up a design and it was really good. He took a little bit to make sure his work station was clean and safe. Right before he started the tattoo, he asked if I had any injuries so he could accommodate me so I would be comfortable through out the tattoo. Offered me a water. Rafael is very detailed and made sure that everything was done and didn't miss anything. He has a light touch. Rafael is very professional and I felt very comfortable. Other artists would go by and say Hi and stop and talk. I will be going back to Main Street Tattoo and Body Piercing in Merced from now on. Ask for "Rafael." I know I will be.
