Lovedog Tattoo Studio

Went here on the recommendation of my friend Jim, who had gotten a tattoo here a few years back.
Place was amazing!  We walked in and were paired up with Jesse, who had actually done my friends tattoo and still remembered him.  We were there for about 5 hours.  Jesse was fun to talk to, patient, and did amazing work.  Very pleased with the results and will be back for more! I love my bee. :)

This place is clean and the artists are top notch.  Brian has done work on both me and my wife.  I wouldn't go anywhere else in Santa Cruz.  ***Bonus Killer deck colleciton on the walls. ****

Got my tattoo done here a few days ago, knew that if I didn't get the tattoo done that day I wasn't going to because my bravery only lasts so long. Cheri the owner was the one did my tattoo.  I came in knowing that I wanted a heart and two words but it terms of design of the heart and colors I had no clue, they were very helpful in helping me pick something out. This is my fifth tat but first at lovedog. After going here I will never go anywhere else. Even though I'm a huge wuss and it did hurt everyone at the shop was very friendly and Cheri is a rockstar at her work.
