I've done a few pieces here with Carlos! I've been thrilled with them every time!! The space is very clean and well organized. They always provide snacks and drinks, too. Carlos is very accommodating and the art is always stunning! Lots of attention to detail, it really made me feel well taken care of. The fine line tattoos heal wonderfully and are worth every penny! If you're looking for something elegant but powerful, Carlos is a wonderful artist to go to here! I get so many compliments on the work I've gotten done here and I can't recommend it enough.
Had my first tattoo session with Gaia, the new owner, and it was such a lovely experience! Gaia is so creative and collaborative with the design process, and her precision in executing the geometric ornamentals is stunning (and the reason why I booked with her). She even had great tips for pre/post care that I hadn’t heard despite having 5 sizeable tattoos, and it’s clear how much she cares about the client as a person not just a canvas. Gaia is just such a wonderful human, and I can’t recommend her and her shop enough! Can’t wait to go back for part 2 to give color to my raccoon baby!
My husband and I got tattoos with Eduar and we had a great experience. The process was professional and smooth. The facility is clean and comfortable. He was patient and worked with us to make sure we got what we wanted. And we couldn't be happier with the result! We love our tattoos. Highly recommend.
My sister and I got matching tattoos with Carlos as our artist. The place was very clean and welcoming. Carlos did an amazing job at listening to what we wanted and we loved our zero from the nightmare before Christmas tattoo. Carlos was also very friendly and accommodating, which made this a very enjoyable experience for us. Overall we had an amazing experience at Old Crow and will he coming back for my next tattoo 😊
Danielle created the most beautiful watercolor wave that I've wanted for years. She was outstanding! She was gentle, patient, and thorough. The healing process was extremely fast and easy due to her experience and talent. My friends and family love my new artwork, and I rave to everyone about the beautiful waves crashing over my shoulder. Oh, and the shop is quiet and beautiful. I highly recommend Old Crow Tattoo.
