I have been in to see Genie a couple of times and I will go back for more.I really feel like how  I connected with them and they understand me.I also like the price structure and how I can afford more ink.I think that her tattoo experience and understanding of hygiene give her the highest grades for me.
Review Source:Just look at her portfolio folks. Its really that simple if you are not blind. Don't be dazzled by the super-sterile talk. Almost all legit shops have pretty high sterilization standards. Also, dont be dazzled by the high quality flash artwork done by someone else. Look at the actual pictures of her work before deciding. If yo look at it and truly think its good, than more power to you.
There is no excuse for getting a bad tattoo in the bay area. The area is literally swarming with top notch artists. There is no excuse for getting a bad tattoo in Vallejo either. The work done at Pop's is excellent.
I can't stop mentioning how much I love the ladies at Red Genie :)
For the lonnnnngest I can remember I've been wanting my lip pierced! Finally, last weekend Elaine pierced my lip for me for $50. Yes $50. It is healing beautifully but for some reason people like to argue with me about how much I paid.... well.. Here's my thoughts. I could have spent $0 to do the piercing myself and use an old piece of jewelry I have... or had Jim Bob do it in his living room... but then I'd spend, I don't know, TOO MUCH in medical costs once my lip got infected and fell off!
No, I love being here. Everything is sterile and they show you and explain it every single time. Every-Single-Time. So that $50 is going towards a piece of mind knowing that my body is being punctured by only the cleanest pieces of equipment they have. Also included in the price is their phenomenal customer service. And I did happen to take the ball out of my ring but I took it to them and they put it back no charge with sterile equipment once again. *sigh* Â if there were ever anyone to trust my body to piercings it would be Miss Elaine. Thank you darling.
I got a tattoo here once by the red haired talentless chick awhile back. Something simple- a fairy about 10inch long with my daughters name underneath it. What i got- No detail, she ended up looking like a cross eyed dragon fly with the name crooked and goin downhill. So bad -People always ask me if its a dragon fly or what is that?!!!
Needless to say it looks like sh** next to the other work on my back! Hopefully I can find someone with enough talent to cover the crap left there by the Red *****.
if you have tattoos from pops tattoo dont bother! they ask where you got your tattoos done and talk crap about the artist from pops even though she used to work with the owner. And then gives you a speech about how they know nothing when my tattoos (all 25 of them) healed just fine pops way! Oh and your kicked out of the red raven club too when you get tattoos from other shops too!
Review Source:I love this place! Â The people there ROCK!
I've gotten 2 tattoo's from Jeanie and am in the process of getting number 3! Â Great people. Â Friendly! Â Will tell you ALL about the tattoo process that you didn't want to know. Â You will not only get a CLEAN, UNINFECTED BEAUTIFUL Tattoo! Â But you'll know how it stays in your skin, how to take care of it after it's been done. Â Great shop! Â Visit the Red Raven Metaphysical Shop and book store on the other side!
What have you got to loose? Â Hospital bills! Â THAT's what!!! Â No matter what, watch out for shops that don't clean everything! Â Ask to watch a tattoo in progress. Â Pay close attention to what they touch!
