I've declined tattoo for over a half century as I'm marked enough by accident and assault. There's nothing wrong with my vocabulary.

My wife just got her first tattoo at Tuesday Tattoo with Jeannie. It was a great experience for a lot of reasons. She's very thorough, thoughtful, artistic and pleasant. And doesn't charge as much as some artists. Outter Sunset is a bit of a hike from Oakland, but she's worth it [https://www.tuesdaytattoo.com/artists](https://www.tuesdaytattoo.com/artists)

Zack Gaylord in Berkley did an amazing leg piece for me. He's really easy to work with, has a great sense of humor, and works quickly. I would highly recommend him. He really takes the time to explain the process and build out a design that will last. He also has a lot of experience doing cover ups if you're looking for that. I've got a bunch of small/medium sized tattoos, but he did my largest one (40 hours). He is by far my favorite artist to have worked with. ZackG13 on Instagram if you want to check out his stuff.

Last year around this time I got a tattoo at Diving Swallow in Oakland, by Natalia Lempur. She does excellent line work and focuses on Black and grey. Highly recommend. I get compliments all the time

My friend Pierre works at Rebel Gallery in San Francisco. He was a cartoonist and dog walker before he was a tattoo artist. He has probably drawn more dogs than anything else. I have two tattoos that he’s done. I have 4-5 other friends with tattoos by him and they all came out amazing. Black and gray line work is his jam. One is a cartoony sloth that takes up my whole calf. It’s basically all line work and it looks great. 3-4 years old, and holding up great. The other is very recent, still healing. It’s an adjustable wrench that takes up my right forearm. His Instagram is@tattoosbypierre, but some of his best work isn’t on there, not sure why!

I just went to Studio Noir recently and got tattooed by Tessia. She is rad, the shop is rad, the tattoo turned out great, and I can't recommend them enough.
