Ink Addicts Tattoo Company

So I got a tattoo done by some dude name taco horrible so the lettering was shaky and some letter look thicker than others. bad service it took from an hour close to three hours.. Not too long ago I go back to try to get it fix and dude saw what bad job this guy did I believe he runs this place tells me he gonna charge me $ 80 please I pay $ 100 for it should be free to get it fix… bad place to get a tattoo done. I would never recommend this place. please do your research before stopping and investing time and $$$ this place… so unprofessional! !

My experience here was horrible Rhino was completely unprofessional. I came in for a tattoo session by myself which turned out to be a complete nightmare the artist handed me very inappropriate, tugging at my clothes and attempting to grope at me and put his hands in my clothing. I immediately got off of the table and exited the tattoo shop! I highly recommend not patronizing this establishment especially women.

After years of wanting a tattoo I finally began my search in the Richmond/​Berkley area. I spoke to a few artists in various shops but still couldn’t find one with the same vision as me.
I was at the Hill Top Mall shopping when I walked past the Ink Addicts shop. I really didn’t think that a tattoo shop in the mall would possess the quality I was looking for in a permanent work of body art.
I was greeted by Paco who guided me to the books of the resident artists. I showed him what I wanted and he pulled out his iPad and let me browse through his work. I saw something similar to what I wanted and I was sold! I made an appointment for the next day.
When I showed up for my appointment I was welcomed by a group of artists that answered my questions and assured me that I will be ok (I was very nervous!) while Paco set up for my tattoo.
It wasn’t as painful as I thought! The gentlemen kept checking on me making sure I was comfortable. It seemed like the artists were respectful of each other. I would like to call it, «Urban Professionalism».
Two hours later I received an amazing work of art that myself and others will enjoy for years to come. Kudos to you, Paco. The 3 stars are not giving this shop the credit it deserves.

Taco that’s his name I’ll never forget. Horrible I don’t know if he had a bad day or not but he sure did a bad job on my legs. The gun slipped and placed dots down my leg, the shadowing is sub par. I wore sandals in the shop and took them off well that was a bad Idea as my feet turned black because the floor was so filthy. I had to go home and scrub them .
We called after the tattoo healed and asked for part of my money back because I need to get them fixed. He offered to fix it him self but there’s no way he’s touching me again I don’t need it even more screwed up. Unprofessional, Filthy, and smelled of weed.

Rhino is my artist, he has done all my tattoos except for two. I trust him with all my visions. He does awesome work. I can tell him what I want and let him roll with it and they have always came out perfect. Great spot to get realistic tattoos.

I wish I could give a ZERO! Customers beware! Do not go here! I repeat… do not go here!!! I went and got a tattoo by Pauly Aka” Rhino”. The tattoo wasn’t do well at all! I should of known something was wrong when he told me” Hand“tattoos heal funny and I’ll need a touch up. I have full sleeves on both arms, and rarely need touch ups! It just has to be done right the first time. So… he was right! I did need that touch up and when I text and called him, I was ignored! I had another person text and act like they were a new customer looking for a tattoo, and he responded back! So bottom line, he didn’t want to stand by HIS work and do the touch up because it was for free. I even told him I would still pay him for his time. Bad customer service, explicit music! This shop is very unprofessional in every aspect of the word!

I had no tattoos. I’m 30 years old now and I thought it was time. I have played with ideas for years of what I would like to get done. But I knew recently, when I found my art, THAT was the one. This image I forever wanted on my body. My tattoo is for ME. I didn’t want it to «show» I.E. I didn’t want an arm placement or something like that. I wanted it on my ribs. Almost EVERYONE told me not to do it. «You stand out by NOT having tattoos, don’t ruin it.» they said. I had lived by that creed for 30 years. I didn’t care. I wanted MY tattoo. I also wanted my OWN artist, someone I could trust. Someone who would do my work for the love of the art not the money or recognition.
I found PACO through my LITTLE sister. I did my research. There is an abundance of tattooers in the bay area so I looked around, studied their work. I saw what everyone had to offer. Paco, to me, was most worthy to earn my money and respect. Two things that are VERY important to me. I was extremely nervous. Everyone I know told me how painful my placement choice would be. I didn’t care, I had decided! I texted Paco (his preferred method of communication) and asked him to take me that weekend and explained my idea. He said he would do it and booked the time for me. Off to Richmond I went.
I brought my best friend, my pillow, a ton of candy (my comfort food) and tissues because I was SURE i’d cry.
To my surprise the shop was in a mall. that didn’t bother me much. Paco greeted me asked me to run down my idea again with him. I left some of the work to his artistic interpretation. We picked a script type and he asked me to come back in 10 – 20 mins. Being we were at a mall it wasn’t hard to distract myself while he brought my idea to life. 20 minutes later he was ready to go and so was I! My nerves were frayed. To my surprise the pain wasnt that bad at all! I didnt cry! The art being on my ribs I was worried my breathing would effect the outcome but he reassured me I was doing just fine. I was SO HAPPY with his service, confidence, and the outcome. I will recommend Paco to all my friends and look forward to watching him grow in the field he loves and I can tell you he has brought me so much joy in my body modification. I NEVER thought I would get addicted to ink… but Paco at Ink Addicts has turned me, and I like it!
Good tattoos arent cheap and cheap tattoos arent good. Im so glad I found an artist I can call my own.
I hope the best for him in the future and cannot wait to see how far this kid gets. At 21 he will get nothing but better and he is already great.

I was very hesitant to get a tattoo in «the mall» but after having several people tell me how great they were I decided to give it a shot. I’ve had Rhino and Paypa (sp ??) work on me; Rhino did a bad ass rose on my shoulder and Paypa touched up a tatt that I got at Lucky van’s in Daly City now it looks like a brand new tatt. I wouldn’t have anyone else work on me!

Went in on a Friday afternoon. Knew exactly what I wanted. I was greeted by Eddie who took me right in and made me feel comfortable. He did a great job! Suggested a little something more then I had planned and I LOVE it. The price was reasonable and the service was great. Thanks Eddie, I WILL BE BACK!

I had a tattoo of my ex boyfriend’s name tattooed on my chest the biggest mistake I have ever made so I went to Aces’s in El Cerrito to see if he could cover it up for me but he was a jerk and talks a lot of shi* which I do not have time for so I left and came to Ink Addicts and they hooked me up! They put a beautiful purple and pink rose over my tattoo and now you can’t tell that my ex boyfriends name was there and I get a lot of compliments on my tattoo. I would strongly recommend going to Ink addicts.

Dude. The artist here are on point they work with you and they take your artwork to the next level. The owner Rhino has been going at this for 10 years and is a natural and does a great job at portraits and shading. I brought in a basic skull and crossbones and he added to it with proper shading and highlights. That shit pops now. He also hooked up some of my old tattoos that needed touch ups. And the price is just right. His colors are also nice and vibrant. I recommend stopping by and seeing what’s up.

Unprofessional!!! My little brother went here and took his drawing in with him and gave it to «Rhino» the artist. So he draws it up for him puts it on his skin and my brother is like «I don’t really like how the head looks can you fix it?» «Rhino freaks out gives him his money back and says he doesn’t do other people’s art work and that he has too much to deal with and doesn’t have time to do his tattoo now? WOW! Ummm this is a permanent tattoo homie why wouldn’t you want your customer happy? WACKKKKKKK TWO THUMBS DOWN!!! So he makes my brother leave his shop

So I went here in the Summer 10″ because I was browsing Tat to spots to get my first tat… I knew exactly what I had in mind; a sparrow with music notes, I even brought a picture as a rough draft of what I wanted my tat to look like. So me & thee bestie walk in & I talk to a guy at the counter & tell him what I wanted & show him a pic. The bird in the pic was a pink & purple sparrow tattooed on someone with «fair» skin & dude tells me that my skin «is too dark too to get those colors» I didn’t take it too personal I understood where he was coming from, but then he hollers for another employee to take a look & the other guy says; «well yeah I specialize in dark skin & that ain’t gonna work.» That’s when I felt like that was a low blow. So I ask them, what if I got it in another color, then they say, «it will probably be best to just get it outlined for your skin type, most ‘colors’ will just fade, dark green or blue might work but again most colors will eventually fade». So one of the guys then says,’ that sparrow looks quite «cartoonish» anyways let me show you a book of some different bird pieces. & I explain to him that that was the bird I researched & wanted. Even if he was only trying to help, it was no business of his what I wanted my piece to look like. He did however add, «but if that’s what you really want we could work something out.» Then he quoted me a price of $ 60 for a deposit fee, which for a tattoo & especially such a simple one is a bit pricey for me. So I just walk out, feeling a little bit burned & needless to say, I won’t be going back. A month later I go to Nunez (in Richmond) get exactly what I want, in the colors that I originally planned (pink & purple) & my tat came out AMAZING

If I could give zero stars, I would. We walked in wanting to get 2 tars done. The guy behind the counter looked up at us then kept on doing what he was doing. Asked how much it would be to get 7 names on arm. $ 80! A piece. Then he was rude enough to say «u do the math! $ 560 wth then he has the balls to day I’ll do it for $ 350. Don’t even gave chairs in the waiting area. No wonder that place was empty!

Absolutely amazing work done at this shop. Ive had over 24 hours of work done at this shop, and would recommend anyone looking for some awesome tattoo work and very reasonable prices stop by and see them in person. Show your artist respect and you will get the quality they are really capable of.
