I was referred by a friend about this place and I'm glad I came in! Within 10 minutes of talking to Colin I showed him some pictures of what I wanted and he described how he could designed the whole thing on my arm. I asked him if he could do a super rough sketch of what he meant and he said sure. My jaw dropped when he showed me his 'rough' sketch, he whipped something out in less then 15 minutes and it was more detail than what I expected, I was pretty much convinced this was the guy to ink me up. As of now I'm still in the process of getting the whole piece finished but throughout the whole process he's been super easy to work with and very generous with the rates!
Review Source:For 10 yrs I've contemplated a tat. One of my own customers at Great Clips, Â Alameda referred me to Five and Dime! Â I had my co-worker write out the chinese characters for me to be sure it said "Passion (or love) of fashion". That's super important! Then I went yesturday. Â Collin was very professional, taking his time with me and not impatient with me when I wanted him to move the outline a time or two!
Thanks Collin for making my very FIRST tatoo a great experience!! Â Lynde
I went in on a whim one rainy day to get an arm piece that I had been thinking of for some time. Rich was great: he gave me exactly what I wanted and made an awesome suggestion that made my tattoo look even better. The free touch-up in two weeks is icing on the cake. I'll definitely be going back soon to get the other arm done.
Review Source:Wandered in on a rainy day to get a tat I've been thinking about for 10 years. Super helpful dude (sorry don't know your name) set me up for an appointment a few days later with Rich. Came back and and started working on my huge (to me) first tattoo. Super clean shop and really chill dudes made me feel really comfortable. Cracking jokes while getting poked with an ink filled needle is definitely the way to go. Rich did a great job making sure the design was right, placement was right and I was alright. As my boyfriend made fun of me getting pinker and sweatier in the face I got some awesome ink permanently etched on my body. Came back for session 2 a couple of days ago and finished her off. All around really good experience and would recommend going here if you want someone who will listen to what you want and give great insight on what will look good in the space you want it.(thanks again Rich)
nuff said
got my third tattoo here on a whim. place is clean, staff is whatevs, i was in and out in less than 30 mins. i didn't have a horrible experience and i didn't have an amazing one either. if you're just looking to get a simple tat (i just got some script writing), then this is a decent place.
Review Source:My boyfriend had heard of this place by his co-worker (I Believed) and the artist named, Church is pretty dope. My boyfriend has a few gaps in between other work that he had done while ago, so Church did some shading and added skull to it so now my boyfriend arm is more amazing than plain. lol
I would recommend Church to people, especially because his price isn't extremely high and because he does an amazing work :)
This cats are screaming with talent & run a super duper squeaky clean shop. Who would expect a tattoo bathroom to be spotless, Jesus the seat was even down. Their apprentices are constantly disinfecting between each client. They were pretty busy when I was there getting needled away for 5 hours by Colin. I met with him a week ago and showed him some Tibetan Buddhist paintings I'd like to combine elements from for a piece on my arm. Great correspondence, follow thru and mad artistic personalization. Kid just moved here from Tuscon and nickel and ten cents rightly scooped him up after eyeing his portfolio. Highly recommend this shop, very unlike shops I've been to. They even have fish tanks and a mystery soda in the machine for 2$ bones. Not sure what it is but hoping PBR to refresh when I go back for color.
Review Source:Went in on a Wednesday afternoon to finally get the tattoo I'd had in mind for years. I was greeted by the ever-ebullient Dee. She was totally welcoming and lovely. I worked with Colin to choose a font and went from there. Colin did an excellent job helping me choose the right size and placement for my tattoo to ensure it's longevity. I have no complaints and would recommend Five and Dime to anyone trying tot get a tattoo in the 510. A+ guys!
My only complaint is that they don't accept credit cards, but that would only knock my rating down a half star, Since I don't have that option, I am sticking with 5 because my experience was excellent!
Had a tattoo done by Colin back at his old location in haight ashbury, I came in to five & dime tattoo for him to finish it. I must say this place is really unique. A lot of nice art on the wall and the atmosphere was great. Â Colin did a real great job on my design, I didn't think it would come out the way it did. I definitely recommend Colin for an artist, his detail and work is amazing. Go and see him!

Review Source:This place is great. The name is simple amazing. Five & Dime (510) I just came here a week ago, and got a piece done by James. It was my first and I was delighted how he re-sketch my design.
Everyone thing went according to plan and at a great price! I was extremely happy that they do free touch-ups which I am definitely going to take advantage of!
Thanks James!

Clean, well organized place to go and get tattooed - whether its your first tattoo or one of many, Five and Dime is the place to go!
What are you waiting for?! Get to Five and Dime Tattoo and get the whole experience: professionalism, artistic, clean, super friendly....all around talented! I walk in with an idea, Â and walk out with an even BETTER end result than I imagined! I just finished with a session tonight and cant wait to schedule the next one! My daughter, her boyfriend and a handful of other people I know have had their ink done here and feel the same way I do.....You wont be disappointed!! And they do all this with a smile!
Review Source:To say these guys are doin it right is an understatement. The shop has a very relaxed atmosphere and is very art oriented. I got tattooed the other day by Mason and as per usual he laid down a solid tattoo that I will be proud to walk around with for the rest of my life. While I was getting tattooed I watched Frank transform an old bad tattoo into a masterpiece. These guys are all really talented, they love what they do and it shows.
In my humble opinion......Five and Dime Tattoo, is what a tattoo shop should be! If you are on the hunt for a new tattoo, go check them out......you will be glad you did!
