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.
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)!
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.
Got two beautiful pieces done by the wonderful Carlos while I was visiting the Bay Area. He’s insanely talented and all of his pieces are so smooth and so unique! The shop is also really clean and covered in awesome art. Visiting Old Crow during my vacation was the best choice I made!
I’ve followed the apprentice artist here, Carlos, online for years and was so excited when he started tattooing near where I live! Now I get to have a piece of his art on my body forever!! His art is all careful black line work and even as an apprentice the lines look great so far after a week of healing. We had great conversations in the studio and it was overall a good, clean environment to get a tattoo.
