Albuquerque Tattoo Company

James is the nicest guy! He really puts in the effort to do what’s best for his customers. All he wants is for his work to be beautiful and his customers to love the art on their bodies. I came in today for a large thigh piece and he understood my skin is really sensitive and swells easily. He wants my piece to look beautiful and is doing what he can to make it beautiful and not rush the process. His lines are clean and crisp. I’m in love with my piece and it’s not even finished yet. I can’t wait to get the shading done. James is efficient and manages his time without rushing. I felt comfortable. After my thigh is finished I’ll definitely be going to James for some cover ups of old tattoo mistakes and additional work. I highly recommend James.

I don't know why there are bad reviews. James was the artist there and he is awesome! He is very knowledgeable and my tattoo came out incredible. I was a little hesitant reading the reviews and the location of his shop but overall it was a great experience. I will most definitely be going back for more work.

Great place. Great staff.. James is an amazing tattoo artist. His color stays and he asks my opinion on exactly how I want my tattoo. Keep it up James. U rock.

Worst tattoo shop ever!! James is a straight up liar and bad businessman. Not only did my tattoo come out like a little kid did it drunk, but he also lied to me about the two for one deal he had and as soon as I paid for the tattoos he went into hiding, he still owes me a tattoo but made excuses every time I went in to get it, but after seeing the results of my first tattoo he could take that other tattoo and rub it on his chest. Horrible artist and bad buisnessman. You call this a good tattoo? A very simple and basic tattoo and he couldn't even get that right

I will never come to this place for a piercing again. We saw a Facebook ad for a "walk-in only, cash only" event. (The event was $15, no limit piercings.) The ad mentioned the event started at 9am. We arrived at around 2:15pm and sat down inside. I was waiting for my guardian to get there so we could sign the waivers. We waited about 30-45 minutes before the staff even acknowledged that they had stopped taking people at 11am. There was no sign on the door, there was nothing on Facebook, nowhere. Then, when my friend had left her wallet there, she and I both called about 6-7 times each and never got an answer, however in between our calls, they changed their voice message. We went to the shop to pick it up at about 5:30pm. Visibly, on the door it said "Hours: Monday-Friday 9am-8pm." The door was locked and the woman sitting at the desk was not opening the door, nor answering the phone that we were calling from outside. Finally, a mechanic came and opened the door for us. On top of everything I didn't even get the piercing I had anticipated, and how have to pay 5x the price because of their lousy service.

I went to this tattoo shop due to a special that they had going on. I should have saved my money. It took so long to get my tattoos finished and they look like crap. There is no saturation of color on the tattoos. there are spots missing color. Doesn't seem like the artiest can actually draw for himself, rather just find images on the internet and copy them. I have been left with 2 disappointing tattoos. Save your money and go to a reputable shop.

James did a great job while he was working there and did a great job on my tattoos but the owner wife ripped me off so I would give this place one star Maybe I wouldn't go there again

Great atmosphere. James is an awesome tattoo artist. Works fast, does awesome work and doesn't have a heavy hand.
