  Daniel Ward is an artist. Calm and interesting - swift and gentle. You must trust in the Daniel Ward for a beautiful piece.  Understand that anyone from Stay Gold is a good choice but if you're wanting some pizazz and a unique look chose Daniel.

  I got my first tattoo today at Stay Gold Tattoo, and couldn't be happier.  Today was 15 years since my mom passed away from breast cancer, so I wanted to get a pink ribbon with her initials on my arm.  Went in last night to check the place out and ended up talking to Pablo.  He was very professional and gave some great suggestions on how the final product would look better with a few tweaks to my ideas and sketches.  He gave me a total of how much my tattoo would cost and let me know how long it would take to get the tattoo done.  They require a deposit to secure an appointment, so bring $50 to secure a day/time (FYI - they're CASH ONLY).
  
  When I came in today to get my tattoo done, I filled out some paperwork, went over the final design with Pablo, and got my first tattoo.  Their stations are very clean and well-maintained and organized, and use sterile tools.  Pablo was really nice and walked me through the process of what he was going to do and let me know I could ask him to stop or take a break if I wanted to.  He told me just to breath and that it would be an annoying feeling than anything else.  I really appreciated Pablo being so nice, especially since it was my first time.  The other artists are really nice too.
  
  My tattoo turned out great!  I'm very happy with my tattoo.  Pablo did an awesome job!  Pricing is reasonable, especially with the high quality of work they do.  I highly recommend Pablo.  Thank you, Pablo, and Stay Gold Tattoo!  Y'all are awesome!

  I am very happy with my new tattoo!!! Pablo was able to take my artwork and adapt it to a tattoo while keeping the spirit of my work alive. The entire tattoo is fine line with very little shading and he did a great job!!!
  
  The shop is very clean, folks are nice and play great music and there lots of wonderful art everywhere.
  
  I highly recommend this shop and Pablo :-)

  I have been going to Stay Gold for years.  Marie is hands down one of the best tattoo-artists in ABQ.  The atmosphere is great, people are great, definitely check it out if you are looking for new ink.

  Refreshing to have a shop like Stay Gold in Albuquerque. There are tons of shops here with maybe 4 of them being shops I'd get tattooed at. Stay Gold is easily the best. All artists have very different styles they do, yet all of them are very high quality.
  I've been tattooed by Marie Sena and have also gotten my friends to go to her as well. Marie is one of the best NM has ever seen. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo, and are willing to spend the time and money to get a very well done tattoo, Stay Gold should be your number one choice.

  Stay Gold is by far the best tattoo shop I have been in. I love how nice everyone is and they treat you with respect. This has been my go to shop. I have moved out of state recently but I will wait to get any work done until I come home to visit. I have recommended Stay Gold to everyone who has complemented my art. If you are looking for the best stop by Stay Gold and check it out everyone is wonderful and very talented!

  Since moving to Albuquerque, I have gotten three tattoo's here (one is still in progress, sorry Leo) and each time has been a great experience. The shop has artists of many different talents and styles and they can easily execute any idea you have probably better than you can imagine it. The staff is friendly, helpful and they service their clients without hesitation. Also, Leo will probably break out and sing some Danzing, Bad Brains or whatever might be playing on his stereo while tattooing you, so don't be alarmed because it's pretty awesome. Also shop hand and apprentice Kenny has an awesome beard and is way into D&D. The folks at Stay Gold remind me of a family, a heavily tattooed, metal listening to, talented family. There is no place else to go in Albuquerque for a tattoo, period.

  Leo Gonzales and Solid Gold are an amazing team.  Not afraid to tackle challenging requests and have exceeded my expectations.  Leo did some work for me about 15 years ago and it was serendipitous that I met up with him again.  They are very professional, kind, but above all TALENTED!  Looking forward to my next piece of artwork.

  Stay Gold is the best tattoo shop I have ever been to, no question or competition.  Clean, comfortable, professional and home to true talent.  All the bases are covered, and any tattoo you get here will be one you'll love.  I've got work from two of the artists, Marie Sena and Matt Pippin.  Both of them have done fantastic tattoos that i'm proud to have, and I will be getting more.  I've sent all of my friends here, and even my mom!  
  
  Bottom line. If your ready to get the best tattoo(s) of your life in a truly comfortable and welcoming environment, Stay Gold is the right choice.

  I got a tat from Ms. Marie Sena at Stay Gold. Her skills kick ass, the price was right and I had fun. Leo's pretty chill, too. I'm going to get more work from Stay Gold, for sure.

  Home to some of the most talented and accomplished artists around. Custom pieces are the norm here, no flash on the walls.  The shop is also home to one of the most respected body piercers working today.
  Want some work to proudly show off come here. I did and now I have "sleeves".
