I would highly recommend Leonardi Tattoo. Jennifer was very welcoming and helpful. I had an idea of what I wanted, but struggled explaining it. She fully understood and sketched out exactly what I was looking for.
The shop is very clean, and has a warm welcome feel. I have been to a few other shops and left feeling intimidated.
Leonardi Tattoo is the real deal. Â Jennifers attention to detail is amazing. Everywhere I go, I get compliments on the work she has done, and I am happy to recommend Jennifer to anyone!
I just had my tattoo done today by Josh and he was just fantastic! My previous experience with tattoo artists wasn't too grand so I was a bit nervous about finding someone who was meticulous enough to be able to produce something I was proud to have on my body. My brother and Josh have known each other for awhile so my brother had suggested I go to him. I said sure just to please my brother...
When I was researching tigers for the style of tiger I wanted, there were A LOT of just awful tattoos of tigers. Especially in the faces. When Josh sent me what he had drawn up for me, at that moment I was in love with the tiger. He was exactly what I wanted and I was so happy that Josh had actually listened to me when I told him what I wanted.
Besides the tattoo aspect, Josh is really personable and the shop was extremely clean and spacious. Nowadays I find a lot of tattoo shops to be crowded, small, untidy and its just a turnoff. Leonardi Tattoo and Josh were just amazing tho :) Obviously, I HIGHLY recommended going here!
Josh Turpin is by far my favorite tattoo artist!!! The reason I believe in him soo much is because when I was looking for an artist who can help me create the vision I had for the tattoo I was looking for he not only listened to me but he put a piece together that I couldn't even imagine myself. He is very personable, friendly and has a passion for detail. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I never met a tattoo artist that payed so much attention to detail as he does. Plus, the shop is clean and comfortable to get work done. Thanks Josh for doing such a great job!!! I will always refer everyone to him cause he's worth it!!! I Highly Recommend Him!
Review Source:Alycia is beyond words...Let me just say, I adore her as a person, a woman. She is  an artist of the finest caliber... Her work is impeccable. I love her from the bottom of my soul... I am not worthy... You will not regret going to her. You will not regret having to wait for her...She is PHENOMENAL...WELL WORTH IT.
Review Source:May I just say this is LONG overdue. I talk about Alycia at least twice a week.
This is by fay the most comfortable and enjoyable tattoo business I have ever had the luxury to inhabit - however brief. I have an inner bicep piece and almost a full 3/4 sleeve done by the most talented Alycia Harr, so I may be a bit biased. However if you've ever seen her work.... It speaks for itself. Nay it yells. I am constantly stopped by people asking who did my work. I excitedly tell them about "my" Alycia. She's so talented BUT modest, humble, calm, and yet a true perfectionist when it comes to her craft.
My dad found Alycia, when we had decided to get tattoo's together, as I was his only tattooed child. He scoured Northern California for an artist that would meet his needs. He found that artist in Alycia. I agreed with him whole heartedly.HIT s process took two years.
This review isn't just for Alycia. Jen is a phenomenal artist. As I have had a sleeve completed at this location I can say I have seen Jen's work first hand and she is first rate talent JUST like Ms. Harr. These two ladies along with their apprentice, Josh, provide the most relaxing tattoo experience I could have ever hoped for.
This is not your typical shop. These artist work with return clients, and are sought after with waiting lists! If you happen to get in with either, consider yourself LUCKY, and be patient - it is so worth it. If you want a fly by night tattoo - that a handful of people could have the exact same thing in your city? This might not be the shop for you. JUst saying. Not that they are rude! Far be it! But - they tend to be booked. Call ahead, make an appointment. If either of them tattoo you, it's the closest thing to a guarantee that it will be your most favorite piece you have.
I am not just a customer, Â I consider myself lucky. I truly think there is no better choice in Sacramento.
Alycia Harr is the most talented artist i have come across. She listens to what you want, is professional, organized and is just in a whole category on her own. The way she lays down ink is incredible! Its like a painting on your skin rather than a tattoo. She has a system where she takes appointments every few months so there is a wait but let me tell you she is THAT GOOD! Look no further ...Alycia is your girl!
Review Source:This review is for Alycia Harr specifically, as I have not been tattooed by anyone else there, and cannot speak to their style, talent, etc.
Alycia is amazing. She's been tattooing me and several of my friends and acquaintances for years. Â Her work style and art, while maybe not for everyone, is absolutely first class. Her art is unique and has no comparison anywhere, her color shading is unparalleled. She's also a deeply empathetic individual- she's good at reading what you're looking for in your custom piece and how much you can take off your body language.
She is difficult to schedule with, but she does her schedule the way she does for a good reason. I've seen plenty of people wince when I've told them her hourly rate (which is perfectly reasonable for her exceptional quality) followed by a story of their buddy doing it for free/cheap/whatever. Then I see the piece. Ouch.
There are things you do not bargain shop for, and top among those is tattoos and cosmetic surgery. You get what you pay for, and Alycia is worth every penny of the several thousand dollars I've handed her over the years. I will continue to be her client until she retires or one of us dies, which ever comes first.
