Always a welcoming, friendly, and clean environment! I've gotten a few pieces done by varying guest artists here. Most recent is this one by Shylo from Reno as a guest artist!

Thank you Melissa for fixing my tattoo which was only 11 months old but it was patchy and scarred and so hard to look at daily!You were gentle, professional and transformed my tattoo back to being a beautiful one. I am very grateful. Looking forward to our next appointment already. Here are before and after photos. The ugly faded one was only 11 months old (by a different & very heavy- handed artist) and it was beautifully touched - up tattoo by Melissa Taylor at Good Tattoo, Oakland, CA. The Good Tattoo studio is beautiful, hip and clean. No problems with parking either

Billy did a cute lil' matching tattoo set for me and my brother. Very kind and very accommodating. Here is mine 9 months healed.

Billy was a great tattooist. Very personable and great attention to detail. Knocked out both my and my sisters tattoos within two hours. Will definitely be back.

I’m currently getting tattooed as I write this, my 7th tattoo from the shop and I’m stoked. Never a bad time, and the shop motto “where good tattoos are the norm, not the exception.” Is no lie. It’s what keeps me coming back. So if you’re looking for genuinely good work from good people, you’ve found the right place.
