Berkeley Tattoo Parlour

Okay, so....this place is freaking amazing!  Every single person here is cool as hell.  This was my first time getting inked up here, so I had to come bearing gifts...Brought em a couple Pizzas cuz I was at the italian joint up the street, so figured...why not, everyones gotta eat!  It's not like it would have mattered though.  Anthony was my artist and drew up a SICK new cross to add to my back.  When I was done, he took pics of my other tat's and said he'd work on extensions for them.

They do AMAZING work, and I would advise anybody looking to get some ink done, to come here!  I was only planning on getting my back sleeve done back in San Diego....but I think I am going to do it here instead.  I don't always get tattooed....but when I do, I prefer Berkeley Tattoo Parlour.  :)

What can I say? I've had everyone of my tattoos done here and am happy with each and everyone. My husband recently had a new addition, and I was consumed with jealousy. It turned out amazingly, of course. Might I add, I need more tattoos.

I wrote Shawn a three page email about a dream I had that was inspired by a painting on the wall I used to stare at while lying in bed. Shawn took that email and flawlessly projected the image from my head and onto my leg. There's a reason every single one of my friend and I all go to Shawn for work and to the tattoo parlour just to enjoy the amazing vibe , from the zen garden full of banzai to the farmstead outback. This is how it's supposed to feel when you're sitting down discussing artwork that you're going to carry with you the rest of your life. I flaked last appointment so I owe the whole crew cheeseboard but ill be back to scratch peters beard and run Shawn's belly then get to work and finish my leg before we get onto the next mind numbing creation. These guys will take your dreams and turn them into a reality you'll enjoy forever. All the love I have to give - vortex Matt !
