Nick is amazing. Just amazing. I have gotten 5 different tattoos done by him, including 2 that took two visits. I give him an idea and he runs with it and always makes something amazing. He is funny and personable and will keep you talking, if need be.
The rest of the fellas are also pretty rad. None of these guys are douches, which is actually a pretty stellar accomplishment for a tattoo shop.
I could not possibly recommend them anymore highly. Prices are so reasonable, work is such high quality. GO HERE!!!
Don't call and ask about piercings because THEY DON'T DO THAT. Yeah, I used caps because that's how the guy that answered the phone let me know. I have been tattooed there several times and had a good experience and back then, they did piercings. So, excuse me for troubling you, good sir that answered the phone. I didn't mean to harsh your mellow and bother you with my insignificant questions while you are standing at the counter doing nothing. I won't make that mistake again when I need to get a tattoo. And Zebra's was more than happy to answer any questions I had and will gladly take my money.
Review Source:I have gotten pretty much all of my Art work done here. Â I love love Paul. Â He has done my and my partners Tattoos and we can't get enough of his style and professionalism. Â I highly recommend this studio. Â Everyone is helpful and very friendly. Â And remember if you have to ask how much you just cant afford it. LOL Great Art work isn't cheap... It's time to add to my arm, so here i go again!
Review Source:I love Cix (sp)! He is a great tattoo artist. Quick and painless and I am a total baby when it comes to getting tattoos. Couldn't ask for a better experience. He's done 3 of mine so far and I love each one of them. Can't wait to add to my collection.
For each of my tattoos he did online research prior to sketching an image for me. Â He also will edit the original sketch to conform with what you had in mind. Â The first version of my Phoenix did not include all of the detail that I wanted in the tail and he went away and came back with exactly what I wanted. Â He is a true artist. Â The only problem I do have is that he said he can not do color on my skin so I will have to find someone else to add a little color to the 3 pieces that he has done. Â
I will always come to him for tattoos though - he is an amazing tattooist.
Thank you so much Cyx!
This is my second time coming here and it will not be my last. The first tattoo I got was from a guy who lives in SoCal and visits there once a month, I regrettably forgot his name since it has been a year. His work was amazing and he was delicate since it was my first tattoo.
Today, I got an Aries wrist tattoo by Chad and I was simply amazed by how fast and flawless the tattoo turned out! He resized the original piece since it wouldn't fit on my wrist and made it look so much more better. As with the previous tattoo artist, Chad was very delicate and made sure I was comfortable. Before even starting, he wanted to be 100% sure I was happy with the placement and size. I highly recommend either him or Nick.
Now for the parlor itself. The decorations are beautiful and the stations are personalized with interesting works of art and sweet knick-knacks. Both times I've been there they were able to help me and tattoo me right on the spot without an appointment. I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate Final Sin and all of its artists.
Awesome place!
Chad is very friendly and artistic guy, he is very laid back, and doesn't rush you when you are trying to make a pretty big decision in your life.
i got my first tattoo here, and i love it. Definitely going back to this place for more tattoos soon!
It was a very clean and professional place, and have no problem with the tattoo.
the lines are super clean and just what i wanted.
Definitely recommend this place for my friends and everyone who wants an awesome tattoo!
I've had 3 tattoos done here, and two of them with Nick. Â First off, the place is very clean and tidy, but that's to be expected. Â Nick works with you on your designs, and is honest with what will or wont work, and listens to your input. Â He isn't super talkative, but I talk enough for both of us. Â He's always checking to make your ok, or that your pain threshold is good. Â
My niece wanted a tattoo when she turned 18 and I felt confident in recommending him to her. Â He took the time to discuss with her, gauged her pain, gave her breaks etc. Â She is so happy with the whole experience, which is what I wanted for her. Â
I've recommended this place to many of my friends, and I hope Nick stays there long term. Â I only have 7 tattoos, and I'm already looking ahead to numbers 8 and 9!
Yes, mother's day and I thought, hmm reward myself a bit. I looked at my daughter and said I'm getting a tattoo today. Well, find this place on yelp, Walk in, the guy tells me that the other girl will be free in a few minutes so I wait because it was no or never. Then I met Alex, dude is she awesome. I gave her a rough idea of what I wanted. It was my first time so I was kinda scared but she just made me feel so at ease. We were chatting the whole time she was working on me. And oh my God I am so in love with my tattoo. She did such a beautiful job. I always said I will get one tattoo but now I wanna go back and get another one.
Review Source:OK, I have to say I am a fan of Nick. He did my foot tattoo this past weekend and did a phenom job. Was very conversational and made me feel right at home and not like a weirdo when I started laughing at the pain. ("because what else are you going to do?") He was honest on how bad it was going to hurt and went with my time frame. The art is amazing and so is his shading and color. Very clean and a pleasant experience all around. I will definitely be using him for my next and last (haha right) two tattoos.
Review Source:My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Final Sin. Nick was very helpful in getting our designs just right and did an excellent job on the art. The shop is super clean and very pleasant. Older reviews for this shop are not the least bit accurate. The staff is friendly and kind. We couldn't have asked for a bettter experience.
Review Source:I went to Final Sin and Nick did my tattoo. Â What a pleasant experience. It was my first and I was a little nervous. Nick answered my questions and took his time to explain the process. Â I would recommend Final Sin to anyone interested in a tattoo. Â For this suburban mom, it was an awesome way to spend my birthday. Â Thanks Nick... You Rock!!!
Review Source:This was my first tattoo at the age of 50 and I love it!! Nick took my drawing and spent a good amount of time perfecting it and customizing it to make it right for me. He was very attentive, making sure I was comfortable and feeling alright. He is a very talented tattoo artist and I am more than pleased!
Review Source:I have seen good work produced here, but I managed to receive the only tattoo on me that looks like total crap. I am now on session 4 of removing it. I am so thankful for technology like that! I am sure the reason it turned out poor is because the guy they let tattoo me didn't even WORK there. I found out  later he was just in town visiting, he was a friend of a guy there. Another clue was probably when he almost spelled something wrong, too. He stenciled it on straight and it came out crooked and misaligned. I'm not imagining this, my friend saw how it was and how it came out. What I authorized to have put on and what ended up there were very different. Everyone has noticed how botched it is and all agree that laser was the best option. I am sure if I had work by an artist of the shop do it, I could have been happier. But what makes me the happiest is that soon I will be rid of it. I give it 2.0 based on the work I've seen from there on others, but my personal experience is obviously a big 0. Make sure your work is done by an EMPLOYEE with an extensive portfolio.
Review Source:It's not the worse but I wouldn't say it's the best. I've never gotten anything pierced or tatted here and I wouldn't like to. I tagged along with my good friend to get her 2nd one done after she got her first one here. Her artist wasn't that great I mean his work was good but he kept taking smoke breaks almost every half an hour it felt like! Plus my friend was very straight forward with what she wanted but he just kept bringing in his ideas which wasn't what I would have liked, but that's just me.
Review Source:I went to final sin about 5 years ago when natasha worked there, she did a cover up, she was good and creative, and put a feminine touch on what I wanted. So I went back last year with my boyfriend because we wanted a "couple's tattoo" I knew they were professional and clean and friendly. Â Well, not anymore. The guy that did our tattoo was rude and not friendly at all. Now I know a tattoo artist doesn't to be the worlds friendliest person, but when their work comes out kinda shitty there's no reason for an arrogant attitude. Â He did do what my boyfriend and I wanted, but he didn't do it that well. Â I'd not ever suggest going to this place. Â If your down for the drive-stay true tattoo in Dublin is good, professional, and clean...and their work comes out really really well
Review Source:Though I had a little trouble with scheduling in the beginning, which cost me a few hours, George is a very talented, perfectionistic tattoo artist and has been at it nearly every day for 7 years. I am pleased with the art of my tat. He offered me to come back in for a touch up and all that. He was concerned about my comfort but wasn't treating my big, bad-ass tat gingerly. Of course I could barely take the 4th hour, but that's neither here nor there. The price was fair, and I think the sanitation of the place is adequate. You'd better like metal though, cause that's what they play! Â Why I awarded 4 stars: their care sheet recommends this thick, tacky ointment with no antibacterial properties and petrolatum. Petroleum-based products sucks color out of a tattoo - I blotted that shit off with a kleenex and a virtual replica like the goddam Shroud of Turin came off on the kleenex. It had been a while since my last one, so I started searching online for tattoo care, and it was pretty clear that petroleum-based products are contraindicated. Also, I know that antibacterial soaps, usually with Triclosan, need a good minute to kill germs, which is not really practical. Why all these artists with their thirty or forty years of experience would have such bogus info on their aftercare sheets I do not know. Sorry, George, your care sheet brought you down a star!
Review Source:I got my first tattoo yesterday by Chad and I am completely impressed with the service I received. Â I booked my appointment a few weeks ahead of time (mostly because of my schedule/his schedule, etc.). Â I brought in a few pictures of what I had in mind and Chad was able to take those images and make a gorgeous cherry blossom branch that would go up my side and over onto my back. Â
So Saturday rolled around and it was finally time for my appointment. Â I was extremely nervous, but once everything got started my worries went away. Â Chad did an amazing job on my tattoo- always made sure I was doing okay, let me have a couple of breaks to stretch/get water/pee... It wasn't as painful as I thought and I ended up having a really great time. Â After he was done, he went over how to care for the tattoo (and since it was my first one I appreciated the info) and told me to check back in in a few weeks to see how it looks and stuff. Â
I have gotten tons of compliments on it so far and it's only the second day! I can't wait to go back and get some more work done! Thanks!! :)
Yea, got my tattoo done by the great Natasha. Being it was my first tattoo it was kinda painful cause it was right on my spine. She kinda made me feel as if she was to good to do my tattoo. I went in there to ask her for the design and she only had the next opening after 6 months.
Yea, I knew she was that good that I waited that long! Then I got it done after 2 1/2 hours. Just the lining too. So I paid like $250 for just the lining and gave her my number to do the coloring. I called after 3 months to see what was going on. She never got the phone or some guy picked it up and said "well shes to busy for you right now, she'll give you a call when she's not". I was like whatever I'll just go to Berkeley and get it done. Yes, Natasha is great but you gotta be like her to get in her good graces. I tell people where I got my tattoo done but tell them to go somewhere else.
Sorry for you fans out there but I paid good money for this tattoo and if she doesn't want my money oh well.
So I went in to get a couple of small tattoos; it was just a walk in. The guy that did my tattoos was a little annoyed because I didn't want color. He showed me all of his awards and some articles about his wonderful work tattooing with color. When I confirmed that I didn't want ANY color (every one of my seven tattoos are black) he finally got to work.
He did great shading, charged me an incredibly fair price, and the shop is very sanitary.
I had heard great things about Natasha, but she was booked solid for months...and what I wanted was really small.
If you want the highest quality work in ink, then this is the place for you. Natasha did a huge back piece for me in bats back in 2004. I always get compliments on the fine details even still. I am going back to do a little more work and to expand the piece...need to book in advance now. Our girl is very popular and in demand!
Review Source:came to final sin on a recomendation to see natasha, but as expected she carries a hefty waiting list of a month or two though from what ive seen on all of my friends various body parts she is well worth the wait for wonderful realistic depictions. Personally I went to see Dave for his incredible fine line work and i must say i dont think there is anyone better. The shop is clean, friendly, and affordable
Review Source:i am a serious fan of this shop, and you will be too.
i've had all my piercings done at final sin by the owner, Chad and i must  say, he's amazing. hes professional, knowledgeable, considerate and obviously passionate about his work. he makes sure that you understand what you are getting pierced and what type of upkeep it will entail. every step of the process is doctors office sterile and Chad has a very calming demeanor.  you are sent home with a care sheet with simple to follow instructions and are encouraged to come back in if you ever have a question.
and the tattoos! oh the tattoos! the artists are wonderful i have had tattoos done at other shops and most of them have been covered up by the wonderful artists at final sin. they are creative and fun to work with. some of the artists have a waiting list, but if you consider that you're going to have the work on your body for the rest of your life, it is totally worth it. everyone there is professional and has a wonderful artistic vision.
things to know before booking an appointment:
it is cash only. $125 per hour. don't be a douche and show up with empty pockets, plan ahead.
know what you want before your get there, or at least have an idea. there is no "flash" art on the walls, so if you're looking to point out a pretty butterfly on the wall go somewhere else.
be prepared for a possible wait. Â quality art takes time and sometimes the artists run a little over. but the reception area is comfortable and there is plenty to read and lots of photo albums of the artists work to admire.
breathe. its just a tattoo.
Got my Tragus Pierced there 4 months ago. I had to wait a long time in order to get it pierced. i sat in the front room for probably an hour. (-1 star)
Once i finally got into the room it was great. i had Neff as a piercer and he really calmed me down . very professional good sence of humor. Â I was allowed to have other people in the room with me too which was great.
Would definately go back
You can see by my photo's that "baby got back" literally. Â So you can also tell I've been going here a while to have work done on this piece.
I've got quite a few tattoos but none as extensive and detailed and body encompassing as my back piece.
It's lilies, an ankh with my name in hieroglyphs in it, peacock feathers and a portion of this piece also served as a cover up.
With the exception of the first sitting (which was four hours long for the outline) I go for two hour sittings at a time and by the time I leave I'm stiff from sitting, laying or arching and a little deaf from the music screaming thru the speakers. Â But, Tasha is worth it. Â She is patient, creative and way talented. Â The only downfall to having work done by Tasha is she is in high demand. Â She does a good job of working with you but you have to book early and it helps if you are flexible. (Again, literally lol)
I've got a long way to go before this is complete and I don't so much care if the numb feeling in my butt cheeks never goes away or if the hearing in my right ear is compromised - my back is gonna look dope! Â (as my daughter tells me!)
I love that my tattoos give me the freedom to signify things I love, things that are precious to me, bits and pieces of my life or just random things I think are cool. Â I love that I'm turning 40 this year and my kids ranging in age from 22 down to 12 think I'm a pretty cool mom yet most of the corporate "up-tights" I work with think I'm Mrs. Cleaver - yeah, right. Â HARDLY! Â I love that my 19 year old daughter wants me to be with her when she gets her first tattoo and that my 12-year old twins say "when I'm older I'm gonna get a dragonfly tattoo like you" Â
Life is sweet and tattoos rock!
Got two of my three tats there (#1 and #3.) My first one was done by guest artist "Gonz" and came out really nice, healed well, and was happy. He was quick, true to my design and used a great color that matched perfectly.
My third tat was done by a resident artist who was moderately rude. I discussed my design with them and ended up letting them know that I would shrink it so it would work. They refused and said they'd do it and had what I assumed was their apprentice do it. He did an okay job, but the lines were a touch wonky. Thankfully this didn't translate over to my tat. But the artist did such a strange job coloring the work that I was scabbing very strangely, and scabbing blood over the entire piece instead of blotchy scabbing of puss or color I'm used to. I cared for this piece the exact same way that I did the other two, and took extra care because of the scabbing. The tat healed blotchy and there are places that just do not have color. I don't even want to go back because of how aggravated the artist seemed to do it.
I'd pay what I paid for Gonz (more than what Gonz actually charged me, to be honest) but the resident artist that did my work really was pushing it's worth.
Got my first tattoo here (as a wee one of 18) done by Natasha. Â This was back when the place had been open maybe a few months. Â She did an amazing job making me as comfortable as possible and I was extremely satisfied with the work I received. Â
Since then I have been back to stretch my ears, more than a few times, and bought numerous pairs of plugs (I always seem to loose one of the pair). Â The prices on plugs can be a little expensive, but they have the best selection in concord.
I am happy to see that they have grown so much since they opened, they definitely deserve their success.
I have never personally had any work done here but this is the first place I take any friend when they are thinking of having a piercing/tattoo done. The shop looks amazing and has very clean, neat work stations. The staff have always been nice/funny and most importantly it feels really welcoming there, not like your standard wham-bam-thank you ma'am tattoo and piercing shop.
Review Source:Final Sin is amazing! Â All of their tattoo artists are talented beyond belief, My favorite being Natasha, who is the only person I plan on tattooing me for life. It's amazing what she can do on skin. really beautiful. Â Chad, The Owner & Piercer, is awesome. He always tells you everything that he is doing, makes you feel really comfortable, & is funny as hell. No matter where I live I will always go to Final Sin. It's clean, professional, & just all around great. It's a fully custom shop. No Flash. & they have a really large selection of jewelry, especially Organics. Go there.. or you'll be sad you missed out on body mod awesomeness. ;)
