I got my first tattoo done last week with Bill. His work runs in my family so I knew he would be the best. He was very friendly and laid back. He listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. I couldn't be any more happier with my tattoo. I will be going back whenever I have another tattoo I want.
Review Source:So happy I found this place 10 years ago when I did. All of my tattoos prior to the ones I got from Bill are awful. Bill has actually covered one up that I got at a different shop, and it's now one of my favorite tattoos! I've recommended so many to Bill and everyone is so happy with the work. Plus, besides being a great artist and tattooer, he's such a nice, mellow guy. Super easy to talk to and very friendly. Even though I live in downtown Sac now, I will ALWAYS go to Bill at Folsom City Ink!
Review Source:What a treat! I bought myself a valentines day tattoo from Conrad here. The shop is very clean, super friendly and kinda cozy! It was very welcoming and comfortable. Conrad is a master! I got a traditional Sailor Jerry mermaid tattoo. I needed it slightly modified and he really got exactly what i wanted. He has a great touch and is amazing with his shader needles,using them like sharpie pens! He was fast and the price was really really great. Not only am i blabbling about conrad to everyone, i cant wait to come back! Top notch!
Review Source:The artists were very friendly, the shop has a great vibe. It was my first ever tattoo, and Conrad was very helpful in making sure this would be something I can enjoy for the rest of my life.
They also had a low (relatively) minimum of $50, and charge $100 an hour. Cash only was kind of a bummer, as I was hoping to use my credit card. I'm sure they have their reasons, though.
Thanks!
HUGE disappointment!! One of the first places we checked out. My son is deploying and wanted a cover up over a tat he got with his cheating ex wifes name. We went in and it was suggested we come back and talk to Conrad for the extensive job this was going to be. We went back in the next day and met with Conrad. Â We explained the time urgency due to the upcoming deployment date and he assured us that he could do it.
He took $20 to draw up a design, took a tracing and some pictures, promising to call in a couple days.
A couple days came and went with no word from Conrad. I called and left a message. A couple more days came and went, still no word. Â Kind of rude, in my opinion... He took the money, he should have followed through! My son decided after the poor communication to just call it a loss and find someplace else that has a better work ethic. This was a pretty important job, and one on a time crunch, and he felt that if this guy operates this way, he sure didnt trust him!!
We spent some more time, and visited several shops and finally found a fabulous one. Â Too bad for Conrad.. He lost out on a load of money fom my son and the three friends that also got tattoos. Awesome for us because we found a lifelong shop that we, and anyone we can tell about, will always go to.
Thank you Conrad for my rib tattoo...I am very happy with it, even though it burned a lot, but Conrad made it look good and was quick and precise with his work...Kept a nice conversation going to help me keep my mind off of the pain...I can honestly say that I will hopefully be getting more tattoo's at this shop...Thanks again :)
Review Source:Thank you Conrad!! Lovin' my new tattoo!! Was a little afraid of getting a tat on my foot but Conrad was quick & precise, which made for less pain! Conrad has done several tats for my husband, son & bro-in-law and we love his work!!!
All the staff at this shop are down to earth and true artists sans the pretentious attitude. Â Folsom City Ink rocks!
I have had all my tattoos done there by Conrad. He is an incredible artist. Â One of my tattoos is large and an extremely detailed design. Conrad did not miss any details of the design. Â It looks great. Â The shop is very clean and all the staff are very friendly. I highly recommend this place.
Review Source:I didn't get ink recently but was waiting to see how my ink would look after some time (1 year). Well it looks just as great as it did the day I had it worked on. I had a tattoo done at another well known tattoo shop whom I will not name and within weeks it looked like a jail style tattoo (no offense to the artists that are "unfortunately" incarcerated). It faded so badly that I was actually embarrassed to have it show and during the summer it is virtually impossible not to have it exposed. I'm not saying it was the artists fault but it's what happened.
I went to Folsom City Ink to have it retouched. The guy who worked on it ended up redoing the entire thing. He even added some stuff and he was cool as hell. I kept telling him that I wanted it to look good and he would tell me... "don't worry, it will be magical." I loved his sense of humor and how considerate he was.
My tattoo is a pretty decent sized piece on top of my foot. The artist even earned himself a hug when he was done because I loved it and he rocked!
I find it hard to believe that this place is a tattoo shop sometimes. Severely lacking in that bullshit rockstar attitude, and staffed with extremely talented and humble artists, Folsom City Ink is such a nice change from the mediocrity that plagues the tattoo industry. Accessable location, reasonable and understandable pricing, clean shop. These guys get a 100% win vote from me.
Review Source:To be the first to review Folsom City Ink is an honor. Â
My brother and I have dubbed this fine establishment as our "second home." Â A place where our faces our known (his more than mine...I have some catching up to do) and we love spending time at even if we aren't getting work done. Â I have a total of 5 tattoos done by Folsom Ink and want to go back for more....and more.....and more. (i love me some ink!) Â In fact, in the last year I got a tattoo done by a shop other than Folsom Ink (since I do live in Boston now and still have the tattoo itch) and have to say I regret it. Â I'm looking forward to when I go back home to have it touched up.
Bill here, along with all the other awesome guys of Folsom Ink, kick some major a**. (when I get super excited about things, I cuss to show my love) Â
To me, I personally feel a good tattoo artist is just that: someone who can tattoo up a storm AND is incredibly gifted artistically. Â Never do my brother and I feel any hesitation in telling them "Hey, here's the idea of what I want. Â Feel free to come up with whatever." Â My brother has some very detailed, beautiful work on his arm that was created from Bill drawing up some fantastic design. Â Also, my back piece idea was pretty specific (it's based on old Puritan gravestones) but Bill managed to put his own spin on it. Â And said tattoo is famous now! Â People stop me to talk about it all the time, and it even made it's first movie debut in "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past." (okay, me AND the tattoo did)
If you're in Folsom, and looking for some work, be sure to give Folsom Ink a chance. Â Just because it's in snooty-mc-snootiville Folsom doesn't mean the shop has attitude as well. Â
Viva la ink!
