Monkey Wrench Tattoo

Every time I’ve gone here, they are extremely helpful, professional people. Each tattoo artist who works here I trust will do an amazing job. Wes Anderson the owner believe got some of the best in Sonoma county. Most people I know recommend monkey wrench as there first choice.

I am absolutely in love with my tattoo from Wes!!! From the very beginning Wes was so kind, helpful, caring and he is an amazing artist with a lot of talent!!! I would say I am kind of a difficult client, I’m very picky. I wasnt sure about what exactly I wanted but had an idea and Wes brought my dream to life. The tattoo I wanted was very sentimental to me, a partial cover up and fixing a old tattoo as well as kind of large. He was quick and it is absolutely amazing!!! I will never go anywhere else in the future and I am referring all my family and friends to Wes and his crew!!! If you want the best of the best and the best overall experience in getting ink. Monkey Wrench is the place to go!!!

I have been here multiple times and between me and my brother we have had 3 different artists from here. Mark no longer works here but Monet and max are current artist that have done both of us. Max did two tattoos for me on a Monday! And I love both of them and the connection that grew more for me to the shop. I highly recommend this place if your looking for a really laid back tattoo spot. Shoutout Max! I got you on that red bull!

Have been a client of monkey wrench many years.
Joe sold the shop and I was not sure about going back without knowing the new owner and his style. I have since seen several pieces done by Wes Anderson and decided to give him a try. It was just a small area that was left over from a sleeve Joe was doing but Wes put it down and completed the work nicely. Highly recommended.
We will be seeing a lot more from Wes. And he will be getting more business from me for sure. J

I got my first tattoo here and I don’t remeber the name of the person who did it but she was great and it was a heart with a ribbon though the bottom that said love with the letter s and t in it and it got colored

Eric gave me another amazing tattoo! This shop is amazing. Great work and great artists! If I could give them 10 stars I would! I definately recommend Monkey Wrench for your next tattoo!

Horrible signage. Impossible to find because the sign is minuscule. Then the stairs are hard to find. When I did find them, they were locked, even though the website said they were open. I’m going to look elsewhere

Nothing but good things to say about this place! Professional, clean, fun environment. I had Monet and she was fantastic. Very friendly and informative and extremely talented. She was flexible in creating the perfect design for my tattoo, and it turned out exactly how I wanted. Will definitely be returning for future work!

Max was friendly and patient with me, as it was my first tattoo. The drawing he came up with was even better than I had envisioned, and once we got to tattooing, he would fill a short line then check in with me to make sure I was ok. His care and consideration really put me at ease. I absolutely LOVE my tattoo and I’m going back again in two weeks to have Max apply number two!

I started coming to this shop probably 3 years ago if not more… Getting tattooed by an artist who is no longer located at this shop… In saying that I had always watched and admired Monet, watching her work walk out while I was getting work done. When the artist I originally went to left the shop I took it as my opportunity to finally ask if she could do my sleeves I’ve wanted for 10+ years.
I’m happy to say that she has been working on my sleeve for about 4 months now if not more and it is turning out even more amazing than I expected! At the moment we’re working on my nautical sleeve and she got every little thing I wanted on my arm the color is finally coming in and all I can say is WOW! Such talent! I can’t wait for it to be finished! Then we move on to my other sleeve (in the sky!)
Painful and time consuming but worth it! I always have a good time in the shop laughing while grunting at times haha Everyone at this shop is talented and sweet I just know I found my artist… Monet… Who I would call… The best! great personality, makes you feel comfortable, listens to what you want, honest and kind what else could you ask for in a tattoo artist?
Go! You won’t be disappointed with whoever you choose from this shop!

I love Monet!!! She is amazing and I will have her do all my work from now on. Super sweet and an a wonderful artist!!!

Monet was such a delight! I got my first tattoo and she made it a wonderful experience. Kept me at ease and I got exactly what I wanted if not even better than I imagined! I will definitely come back and recommend to my friends.

(see uploaded photos). Long story short: A buddy of mine loved the tiger from The Last Samurai movie /​flag. I screen cap’d it, and Joe worked it into his arm. Looked fantastic. For my birthday a few months later, my buddy returned the favor, only this time «with my own style.» I told Joe: «I like cybernetics, terminator, Giger stuff, alie…» «Stop. I got this.» He came back a few minutes later with a rough sketch that looked very cool. but the final piece. *a lot of it done freehand* was f$#king _​amazing_​. If I get any more ink, they’ll be the first (and only) place I’ll be going. Very, very happy with the results (and my friend was too!)

Clean, professional, fun is how I describe my first visit. Zero pressure from the staff. It was nice listening to Howling Wolf, Janis, Neil Young, and others versus the metal and punk that I’m used to. (I love my loud music, but sometimes it’s nice to just chill when getting some work done.) The banter back and forth was excellent, and Monet really put me at ease and put her vision into a pre-​existing yet unfinished piece. I can’t wait to go back for some original work.

Wes is the man and does excellent work. Ive got 2 pieces from him so far. And everyone at the shop is chill.

I got my first tattoo done here yesterday by Monet and she was a complete saint! She put me completely at ease and was super patient with me, which was very appreciated. I got a compass on my side and she did an amazing job, even through my flinching. The over all shop was amazing, super clean, and the artist are friendly. I can’t wait to go back and finish up my tattoo!

Nice clean professional, you get what you pay for! Worth every penny

This used to be a cool shop, but after today I would refer them as a bunch of Effing douches

I’ve had both my nose and belly button pierced by these guys, and I always have a fun visit.
The biggest thing for me was how unpretentious they were– which is hard to find in some tattoo and piercing shops. I always feel welcome here, and while I waited for the piercer, the guy running the shop chatted with me and was super laid back.
The piercer, i think his name is Neil, was also very laid back and funny. He put me at ease and took his time with placing the piercing so it looked just right.
Go to these guys!

Awesome staff, the shop is really clean and everyone is professional. Mark Hansen is amazing, I I had him tattoo a painting and it looks just like the original. This shop is better than any other in Santa Rosa, even before you get the work done! It is kinda small but since there is dual shops it more than makes up for the space.
Its nice and comfortable atmosphere, I dont like to feel like I am walking into the dr. office but I dont want to feel like I am walking into a bar either.
I have always found it best to make an appt. with Mark, sometimes he gets booked up but thats what happens when you kick ass. I love this place.
