Carlos did an amazing job! He added to a pre-existing tattoo of mine. It flows so well, and I couldn’t be happier with it. He was patient, attentive, professional, and honest. He is a passionate artist and his talent speaks for itself! I highly recommend working with Carlos and Old Crow :)
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.
My partner and I had flash tattoos done by Carlos aka spit blossoms on ig. He is working as an apprentice, but the tattoo came out great. Place also has a cool vibe.
Old crow is a fantastic shop with an array of talented artists. The shop is clean, professional, and caters to the customer. I have been working with Eduar on a leg sleeve and the process has been fantastic. His work, enthusiasm, flexibility, and communication are always excellent. I highly recommend coming to old crow for a tattoo and I highly recommend booking Eduar for a tattoo session (or sessions)!
I just got a lovely tattoo from Carlos. I have followed him (@spit_blossoms) on Instagram for years and bought some art from him before, so I was very excited to see that he had started tattooing! I drove up from Santa Cruz and got one of his flash tattoos of a beautiful winged woman. The studio was clean and well decorated and the experience with Carlos was great! I’ll definitely be back for another piece.
