Very good vibe.as you come in from the hectic City street into tranquility and a clean aesthetically pleasing environment with genuine and friendly artists and folks who work there. It has a discreet layout for tattooing in the back , art and display in the front including Balinese masks ,sculptures,ans murals.

Dave Rodriguez is amazing. He designed a gorgeous custom half-sleeve. The shop is beautiful and clean, all the artists are professional and awesome. Its pricey ($200/he average) but worth it

I love a vegan tattoo shop, but one of their artists took my deposit and then stopped communicating altogether. Poor customer service doesnt inspire confidence in the rest of their operation. Probably not a great place to get a tattoo.

Booked an appointment at old crow about a month ago and had the honor of having artist Bryan Proteau finish the last segment of my sleeve. It was my first time at the shop and the entire staff was super friendly and professional, maintained a clean space and took really good care of their clients. Bryan’s communication was great, checked in on me regularly during each session and made sure I was comfortable and happy with my final design. I definitely recommend visiting Old Crow to get some phenomenal work done by a range of very talented artists ! I’ll definitely be back!

Artist “accidentally” tattooed a ½ inch line through my tattoo that wasn’t supposed to be there - Unprofessional, sketchy, non-transparent artist.This past Saturday on my birthday, I went into Old Crow Tattoo for a walk-in appointment. Granted anytime you go to a new tattoo studio/artist, it is risky, but the studio had great reviews so I thought I would be fine. I’ve had plenty of walk-in appointments that have ended very well. 20 minutes into the tattoo as the artist was completing the outline, I heard a big bang. I immediately knew something was not right, but the artist did not say anything to me other than he needed to switch out the table. I looked back at my arm, which was laying on a table beside the massage-type table I was lying face down on. I saw a mark that was of concern, but I thought it could be smeared ink because the artist did not say anything to me. Fast forward to the completion of my tattoo, he then tells me that when the table fell, he accidentally drew a ½ inch black line through my tattoo, and there was “Nothing he could do about it.” I have a full-sleeve on my right arm, almost a full-sleeve on my left arm and 7 other tattoos on my body. I have never had this happen before (OR if it did, the artist was able to correct it without me noticing). I also didn’t feel the table move because my arm was directly laying on it. There was a big bang, which most likely meant he either dropped or hit something. I know tattoos arent perfect - thats the beauty of them; however, this was absolutely a preventable mistake.He then goes on to down-play the situation and say, “Most artists wouldn’t even tell you” and “No one will notice except you.” First of all, I immediately noticed so not mentioning it would have made things absolutely worse. He should’ve told me when it happened if he knew he couldn’t fix it so we could have possibly course-corrected. Secondly, it doesn’t matter what others think. You get a tattoo because it is something you want. After I left, I sent pictures to several friends who immediately noticed without me saying anything. He ended up charging me $100 (shop minimum) versus the originally discussed $180-$220 and offered to try and cover it with color once it heals. No way will I ever go back to that studio. Once it heals, I hope someone else can fix it. Zoom in on the Pink dogwood flower attached - I know youll see it.

The staff here were all great. I was set on having my tattoo done on my back but when listening to the artist about a better option for placement I listened to him. He wasnt pushy but just offered his opinion and Im glad I went with it. Would recommend Old Crow to anyone.

Looks a bit forbidding from the street, but the staff is friendly & helpful. Dont know if you need to select an artist in advance from the website, but that approach worked well for me.

I called in advance and the girl that answered the phone was really nice and invited me to come in tha day for the artist to check out my ideas , Bryan was nice and patient and took the time to draw up a few sketches for my idea and we got to do it that same day.My advice is pick a day in advance to get your tattoo just right.This place was warm and welcoming and really made it in to a nice experience!Thank you Bryan for my amazing tattoo looking forward into getting more with old crow

The first thing that strikes you when you come in is the smell of copal incense, or just a general clean and aromatic vibe of essential oils. The walls are a marine shade of blue, with a large wooden Buddha sitting atop an altar. This is unlike any tattoo shop Ive been to, and Ive been getting tattooed for almost 20 years! Ive never seen one so open and inviting, both from the staff and the helpful artists (who have a very large drawing space in the front, and are always available for a chat if they arent busy with a client). They are exceptionally helpful and wont suggest doing something that wont look good in a few years as opposed to right now. Some people may feel offended at this, but trust me, if they tell you something is too small or will blur badly over time, it will! This to me shows they arent out to cash in on trendy Pinterest tattoos and take your cash, the will give it to you straight so you have an informed decision. Thanks everyone!
