My sister and I had our first tattoos done here. My partner suggested this shop since he'd had a great experience here years ago. Our artist Carolyn was friendly, calm, and professional. When I began explaining the story behind our idea, she sat down with me and listened respectfully and intently. I got the sense that she didn't see our appointment as just another day in the office, but that she understands that each tattoo is special and treats each client as an individual. She had a flawless stencil done within ten minutes. Throughout the process her vibe was fun and easygoing. She loves what she does and it shows! The work itself is perfect, and we could not be happier. I didn't catch the receptionist's name, but her demeanor stood out to me as super welcoming and kind when we first walked in, which went a long way for my nerves. I spoke with her a little bit afterward and she shared that since many parlors are intimidating, she considers it important to create a welcoming atmosphere. Black Heart certainly succeeds! It's also worth noting that their playlist that day was super rad. I live in another state, but I would love to have another piece done by Carolyn if the stars align.

The tattoo”artist” said he could tattoo fine lines. I had a baby pig on my side and I wanted some other baby animals underneath it in the same style. He convinced me he could do it. I paid 170 dollars to get a thick, childish tattoo. And now I have to pay another 1000 dollars to get it removed. I would definitely advise you to go somewhere else.

Gotten work by Moses and Fernando! Both did an amazing job on my tattoos. Special thanks to Moses for bringing my vision to life and doing such an amazing job on the one of my dog and me. Words can't explain how in love I am with it!

This is such a fantastic shop to come into. We came in with a big group of friends from out of town and six of us ended up getting tattoos. The artists were all super professional and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. They were very experienced and they had no issues getting all of us in and out quickly. Thanks for helping make our time in San Francisco that much better.I would definitely come back when I'm in town again.

All who have tattooed me at 🖤 Blackheart tattoo in San Francisco have created some of the best tattoos on me, but what Jeff does is beyond that. I have several from him and each one is my favorite. As my skin runs out I only wish I had an extra limb for him to tattoo.
