My fiance and I got matching tattoos done by Carlos at the Tattoo festival at isleta. I highly recommend them!. They super easy to set up appointment. Carol is awesome, very light handed made the tattoo pretty much painless. The recovery process has been 100 times easier and faster than any other tattoos I've gotten.
They are the best shop in Albuquerque. Great artist and great people.
The tattoos are fantastic!
My first tattoo at age 76. Eddie is the best. Will be back for more.
Got my first tattoo here. Came out awesome. Carlos is a great artist.
I was there today for a consultation with Meghan, she was super nice and helpful and I'm excited to see what she does with my design! I've been tattooed there before by Eddie, and he was great too. Friendly staff, clean shop and great looking tattoos!
Painful...
I was tattooed by Meghan, she is so wonderful. Very clean work space, very professional and friendly, not to mention insanely talented. She is happy to design what you want and works with you to achieve exactly what you want.
Eddie did exactly what I wanted without me being able to fully communicate my desires. His ideas and his ability to ease my nerves really made me feel at home and safe. I am so happy with my choice, my tattoo, and my experience. The staff were also amazing. Interested and helpful. It was a great time and well priced. They are also plugged into their community which made me happy to see! RECOMMEND!
I have been here twice for tattoos and they never disappoint! I worked with Eric Shire both times, but all artists there are really nice and amazing. They want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible. Some stations have TVs so you can choose something on Netflix to watch while getting your ink, they also have some couches in the waiting room. All stations have their own cubicle, and this place is extremely clean. I have followed them from their old location to their new. Highly recommend, I wont go anywhere else.
Fantastic, I love this place. The artists are amazing and I couldn't be happier with my work. Super professional, great space, warm environment, there's nothing bad I could say. Shoutout to Aldo btw, he did some amazing work on me from a pretty vague concept, and with almost no pain, simply amazing is all I can say.
I recommend Archetype for your next tattoo. The staff is friendly and professional. I have had three tattoos from Meghan Mund, and she is very professional, a great artist, and makes you feel very comfortable.
Good place
Eddie is a wonderful artist. I love his work and he is a nice guy.
Great artists
Meghan did such a good job on my cat portrait tattoo. I literally cried when I saw it for the first time. If you need a portrait of your kitty done, go to archetype and go see Meghan!
Staff was very rude. Won't go back
Best place to get a tattoo. Meghan did a beautiful tattoo on me and I was a walk-in. She did it the same day, thank you for the tattoo. Love it.
Great place to get a tattooed, very experienced and skilled tattoers to choose from to work with. I was tattooed by Carlos Cordova and he was extremely patient with me and my reactions to my first tattoo, even as I was nauseous. Highly recommend for first timers and I look forward to returning to get my next tattoo! You will have to schedule ahead of time but it is well worth the wait for the quality and care provided.
Had a great experience Meghan was great and very kind!!! I’ll go back to this tattoo shop for many more !
Best shop in town! Everyone there are true artists that care!
Our band (partymachineband.com) had a gig last Saturday and it was one of our members Birthdays', so we decided to get tattoos (why not, right?) Mind you, we are from Dallas, so locating a Tattoo shop, let alone an amazing one was a bit tricky. Meghan greeted us and immediately made us feel at home. Myself, as well as the other girl in our band both got small pieces done by Meghan, who was just as sweet as she could be. She was insanely quick but precise, and gentle. We love our tats and the experience! The Birthday Boy received his first tattoo and the artist took the time to explain the process and the instruments used, as well as put up with all of our questions and hovering- LOL. The Studio was clean, inviting, and comfortable. We had a blast and if we ever make it out that way again we will definitely be stopping by!
Phenomenal artists and work.
They have the right service cent wait for the finished tattoo
Always receive great service and great artwork when I come here. Eddie does a fantastic job. Personally wouldnt go anywhere else in Albuquerque but here!!
Such a clean shop full of very talented artists! I gave Meghan the gist of what I wanted, she ran with it and created something unique and wonderful. She was kind and fun throughout the tattoo. There is also art created by the tattoo artists available for sale within the shop as well!
I csnt believe I never reviewed this place. I personally got a half sleeve nine tails tattoo a few years back here. I absolutely love it this.mans a magician. Even those it's very soft orange there is no fading, there is no scarring and no raising at all. Could not be happier with it.
I'm a youngish, mid 50's, woman. I have a very, very rare medical condition that has me on oxygen, and destroyed my skin. Think 80 year old crepe paper type of skin. Aldo not only saw my challenges, but took them on as his own. He did the most incredible portrait I've EVER seen on my upper arm. Besides the fact that Aldo is an AMAZING artist, he is an AWESOME hooman!! The shop, clean, organized, professional!! Definitely recommend 100%!
I got a tattoo by meghan and i absolutely love it. She is amazingly talented and super cool. She did my artwork spot on to what my idea was. I will definitely be back soon!!!!
Without a doubt, the most talented in Albuquerque...all of them! Dave is my go to guy though!
Eric at archetype finished a tattoo ten years in the making. Looks like the original artest finished it. Worth the money!
Meghan was awesome, the entire place was clean, friendly and patient. Great experience, will be back and referring others.
Shop is super friendly and fun to be. Great staff. The artist are world class.
Amazing shop. Clean friendly and great work. Eric is beyond talented and really takes the time to figure out exactly what you want. I can't wait to come back.
Great shop! Very clean and friendly staff. Can't say enough about what an awesome experience it was. Eddie did an amazing job.
Really positive atmosphere, great people, and the artist was amazing!
Archetype Tattoo is an awesome tattoo studio! Clean, professional, and they definitely deliver on the art. Meghan was awesome to work with and worked exactly what I was thinking of into an awesome tattoo. She was super flexible and was happy to make last minute adjustments to make sure I had exactly what I was looking for. She’s a pro and is “nice as heck” like her business card promises. If I happen to be in town again - I’ll make sure to schedule some work here!
Great studio! Got my first tattoo there and the staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, not pushy or intimidating! I wouldn’t take my business anywhere else, I’ve gotten 8 tattoos there and I’m happy with all of them! Highly recommend whether you’re getting your first or your tenth tattoo.
We love Eric's work and his kindness. We've had 3 tattoos done by him and each is. Awesome. He helped my daughter and me design our ideas and worked quickly and gently. Highly recommend for all ages and styles.
Had the most wonderful experience with Meghan! I needed a cover up and chose some simple butterflies that she turned into magic! She was so kind, friendly, and professional. Her work is beautiful and the price was awesome! Will definitely be coming back for my next piece!
If I could give ten stars i would, Meghan is one of my favorite artists. I've gone to different people for each of my tattoos but my second appointment with her couldn't come soon enough. The staff here is phenomenal to say the least. Very friendly, clean and a great group of talented artists.
Had a memorial tattoo done by Aldo, amazing! I cried when I saw his amazing artistry! I would definitely recommend Aldo to anyone who is looking for a tattoo artist! Thank you so much! Much love, Ruth
My twin sister got a tattoo yesterday & all the staff are very professional & very nice, Eddie did my sisters tattoo and he was very professional. Best tattoo shop I have been too
Very friendly, clean and professional . I would go back. Thanks folks
Extremely spacious, clean & beautiful facility, welcoming and friendly staff, artists are obviously highly conscientious, take pride in their craft, and are genuinely concerned with client satisfaction. Honestly wouldn’t want to get tattooed anywhere else. Thanks Eddie!!
Just got my first tattoo and I couldn't have chosen a better shop to do the work. I decided on a larger piece and Carlos went above and beyond what I expected not only in the sketching but in the work itself. He moved very quickly and gently and still managed to come out with an amazing work of art. He was knowledgeable about all the processes that I was definitely nervous about for my first tattoo. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
The artists were very professional, fun and inviting. I love my tattoo and everyone says it looks great!
You can’t go wrong with this shop or any artist here. Super chill environment, amazing staff, and very clean!! I had Eric do some work on my left shoulder and he really did an awesome job!!
It was everything that I had hoped. The place was clean the people were super friendly and very helpful. Eric was the artist that did my tattoo. He was ABSOLUTELY GREAT! He was easy to work with and I felt right at home with him. I plan on going back to him to get a few more.
So professional and clean. Great artists.
Can't wait to get mine started
Eddy was incredible! He gave me exactly what I wanted and there isn't a single thing I want changed or think could have been done better. He is a wonderful conversationalist and keeps an immaculate work area. He is very skilled at what he does. The other artists and staff were very kind as well.
Aldo does great work his cover ups are perfect. Nice freindly staff and verry professional.
Great tattoo shop! This place is run by a professional! I really appreciate the emphasis on sanitation and safety. I didn't get any ink that day but a friend did. My next tattoo will definitely be done here! Everyone was very friendly and the environment was totally chill. They have a great website that I checked out before my visit.
It’s always hard finding a new tattoo artist when you move, but I had an incredible experience with Eddie today. The shop was clean and welcoming and Eddie did an awesome job on my tattoo. Looking forward to coming back in a few months for the next one! Thanks for a great experience and a perfect tattoo!
I've now gotten 2 tattoos and have a 3rd on the way from Meghan at Archetype Tattoo. She has been by far the best artist I've ever had. She's friendly, quirky, fun, and extremely professional all in one. Tattoos i've gotten have healed great, look great, and were done great. What's cool about this girl is the fact that even if it is out of her comfort zone, she'll learn how to do it just for you, and she rocks it ! every single time. This girl is amazing at what she does, definitely goes over and beyond for all of her customers. 10/10 would recommend her to ANYONE.
I got my first tattoo done at Archetype and it was the best experience I could ask for. The staff was all friendly, welcoming, and patient. They took the time to answer all my questions, and worked to make sure the design was perfect. Eddie did the tattooing and he made the whole process so easy. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole thing and did an amazing job.
Meghan is awesome! She’s an extremely talented artist - she created an amazing neo-traditional leg piece for me based on ideas and photos I brought in (and with no artistic inclination of my own to share). She was friendly & communicative, and took extra care to make sure everything was comfortable, safe & sanitary during my session too. The whole shop is super clean and loaded with talented artists of many diverse tattoo styles - I would absolutely recommend booking a tattoo with Meghan or anyone else at Archetype!
This is a really clean shop and all the staff were very friendly. Aldo did an amazing job on my tattoo. It turned out better than I imagined!!! I highly recommend this shop.
Wonderful studio! Super clean, friendly, flexible, and talented! Special shoutout to Eddie for doing my favorite piece. Will definitely be going back there!
AMAZING WORK!!! @ERIC SHIRLEY
Amazing artists!
Dope!!!! Absolutely couldn’t b happier with the work Thanx ALDO! I definitely recommend going to him A++
Megan Mund is awsume her technique is soft and her artisitic views are insperational. Cean and holisic .
Eric Shirey is the best!!!!!
Friendly people, awesome artists!!
This place is awesome! The shop is really nice, very soothing and beautiful aesthetics. I had the pleasure of working with Meghan, who is an incredible artist. I'm the type that gives a basic idea of what I want, and then allow the artist to do (kind of) whatever they want. Meghan checked all the boxes - asked me about my other tattoos, took pictures of everything else I had, and then drew me up something that was her own take on what I had going on. The piece she put on me is a very welcome addition to the few that I already have. I've very glad to have chosen Archetype and I will be back.
When you’re new to a town you may be quite apprehensive about getting a tattoo. Especially when your still getting used to being tatted up and all that jazz. Neverthless, after extensive research and reading of countless reviews this place foot the bill! It is the cleanest shop I have ever been in and the service was 5 star! What a great first experience!
The ONLY place that will ever tattoo me. Professional, clean, friendly, well-educated, talented all the way around. Keep up the good work, guys.
I’ve gotten multiple pieces done at Archetype, and it has always been a wonderful experience. Most recently Meghan did a clipper ship on my left arm, and it is absolutely stunning. Great people, amazing atmosphere, and brilliant work. Definitely some of Albuquerque’s finest! Thank you again, and I look forward to my next visit!
The best in ABQ
I just had another tattoo done by Carlos. I am in awe! He took time to create a custom piece, a collaborative mural of three different pieces. He created something better than I could have ever envisioned! I'm still sitting in his booth while my partner gets one done by him. Carlos is a beast! My tattoo is epic! And I love Archetype's atmosphere and cleanliness. Thank you so much!
I've been to many different tattoo shops in Albuquerque to find the best place and Archetype is the one! My tattoo artist is MEGHAN MUND and she is AMAZING! Not only is her work beatiful, she makes me feel comfortable! She is professional throughout the entire sitting and sets up right in front of me, so I know what she is using is sterile and clean. She works with me and my ideas and gives me suggestions from a professional standpoint, if she sees fit (which I appreciate so much!). I've been seeing her for months now and each of my tattoos by her have been stunning and healed up so well! I am always impressed with the results. You can clearly see she is passionate about her work. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a tattoo artist.
Place is very clean and such a wonderful staff
We got Eric and Carlos. Both did great work. Clean facility. Nice large shop with an open feel.
Fantastic shop. Best shop I've ever been to, hands down. The entire staff is extremely friendly, and Carlos is an incredible artist! Shop makes you feel right at home, 5 stars doesn't do it justice. Highly, highly recommended!
Very friendly and professional customer service.
My family have been going to Carlos for our Tats for the past few years and honestly, we couldn’t be happier. He and all the staff are very cool and understanding people who clearly enjoy doing what they do. I have recommended he and them to many friends for their next tats! It’s a legit place to get your work done
Aldo does such amazing work. I've gotten two tattoos from him and each one are great tattoos. Everyone I've encountered at Archetype Tattoo are very nice and professional. I highly recommend getting your tattoos at their shop. I will continue returning for more.
I got my first tattoo here! Eddie is great! Relaxed and confident, he did an excellent job! Very clean, good at scheduling, and good at walk in consults.
Carlos is amazing!!!! Wouldn't go ANYWHERE else
Got a small tattoo here for the Semicolon project. Great atmosphere, very comfy, super nice people with a TON of talent and skill. I will definitely be back for one I want done in the next few months or so. I love my semicolon leaf!
Very nice people Amazing tattoo. I was very happy with my experience.
Eddie is the absolute best!!! Would recommend him to anyone who loves good art work.
I had a eyesore of a tattoo on my forearm that was pretty damn big. I had a few artists tell me that it would be possibly impossible even one told me that I should consider laser removal. I was a walk in and the girl up front got me Carlos. I think he was a little skeptical because the size but he went at it. He did an AMAZING (for lack of better words) job, you can't even tell it was a cover-up. He exceeded my expectations by far. Thanks for all your great work. Can't wait to come back for more work.
Tattoo shops and tattoo artists can be very difficult things to rate objectively. When you get something on you that from then on out will help define you, it’s all too easy to develop an immediate bias: namely, you have “your guy,” “your shop,” et al. One person’s good experience, however, can easily be another’s mediocre one, and it’s not because of any artist’s aptitude, but because of everyone’s unique sensibilities and values. However, I can, with confidence, say that Archetype Dermigraphic Studio is indeed MY shop. I have had several wonderful experiences here from several different artists. I cannot personally recommend any one over another, because, like I said, I am trying to be objective, and my tastes will differ from another’s. Although my projects vary in style, each was executed flawlessly in a comfortable and clean environment; everyone here is both extraordinarily talented and genuinely an awesome human being/absolute pleasure to be around for a few hours! To paraphrase what one artist here once told me, there is too much talent in this city to stubbornly stick to one tattooist your entire life. That said, the congregation of artists who work here ensure that I never have to search far for a “new” artist. What I can say wholeheartedly is that no matter what you are interested in adorning your body with, Archetype WILL have an artist whose style can fulfill your needs. Props to the staff as well. They immediately make you feel at ease and at home way before you even get to the fun part of getting tattooed. They care about their clients as much as the artists themselves. During my most recent project, for example, they were sure to always keep in touch with me via email and social media, weeks before I even physically entered the shop to begin the work. Also kudos to the monthly Art Fusion for a Cause events. These are not only some of the most fun and enjoyable evenings of the month, but proof that this studio truly cares about the community that they serve. If you are currently in the process of researching shops, consider this as your first outing! Enjoy a brew, meet the artists and staff, and win something beautiful for a good cause.
Got my first tattoo here after years of searching for the right artist. Ben is so amazing that he has become our family tattoo artist. I highly recommend this shop and all the artists. I will be coming back for more pain.
This is a very nice clean place n everyone there is super nice. Eddie dogs my tattoo n ur came out freakin awesome. I definitely recommend it. Money well spent
Love this place, have had four tattoos done great experience every time.
Walked in, was immediately helped. Staff was friendly and it was very clean. Eddie was our artist and was professional and fun. Would definitely go back!
Awesome place for ink. Super friendly staff, super chill place. All positive vibes. My artist was Aldo, not only did he exceed my expectations, but he's that good that it didn't hurt as much as it should have. He was pretty fast too. Lastly, He is a great dude to talk to, so I really enjoyed talking to him. A great experience, will definitely come back again! Thanks Aldo, you ROCK!
Very professional amazing artwork cool people I go here for all of my tattoos
Always a great experience......and I always leave with beautiful new art.
This studio is great! I got my first tattoo while my wife and I were on vacation. Everyone we talked to was nice and helpful. Meghan, our artist was especially rad and also gave us some killer dinner recommendations. The shop is very clean. I can’t compare it to other shops but even the bathroom was very clean! They also focus on keeping the tools and the body part clean. They also provided an aftercare kit and we got suckers for not crying. I wish my doctor was this nice! If we are back in Albuquerque we will be back here for more artwork!
Good atmosphere and excellent customer service! They took care of me despite not having an appointment. My tattoos came out better than I expected.
The place was very clean and nice and made me feel very comfortable getting my first tattoo. I will probably get my next one at the same place, and hopefully with the same artist. Angelia did an excellent job and I absolutely love all of her designs- both tattoo and other artworks.
Great atmosphere, clean shop and excellent artists Highly recommend!
Fantastic artwork. Treated like a king
Many great artists at the shop but I recommend checking out Eric. Young man with some great talent, ambition, vision and dedication to customer service through great work.
The staff was extremely freindly. they worked with me and I'm from out of town a few states over. The shop was very clean. I worked with Eddie and he did s great job bringing a family relic to life.
Really enjoyed my experience. Meghan was professional, good humored, and light handed. My tattoo was better than I expected and the place was very clean!
Professional, laid back, great group of people. I send everyone who asks to Archetype. Aldo is my personal artist of choice but every artist in the studio is amazing!
Megan is amazing! Her art is always on point and she is always professional. I'd recommend her and archetype to anyone looking for the best in Albuquerque. They're clean, fun and always do great work.
The best tattoo place I've been to!!!!!!
Meghan was so professional, empathetic and funny! When we walked into Archetype Tattoo Studio we were impressed with how clean it was and how we felt welcomed. Instantly we knew this is where we wanted to get our tattoos. Thank you Meghan and staff of Archetype Tattoo Studio! We are definitely going back!
Nice clean shop very nice people to deal with.
Meghan is awesome!!
Nice folks with skills
I am older, a grandma, and I got my first tattoo on July 5th with Eddie. He is amazing!!! I created my own design, for the most part, and wanted it to be delicate. It had to be bigger then I wanted but Eddie made it absolutely beautiful. If you want fine lines and delicate work, you need to go to Eddie. You won't be disappointed!
I had the owner Ben Shaw work on a half sleeve piece of line work that I had done but someone who I would not recommend. Ben not only restored my trust in the entire experience, but he did such an amazing start to what I cannot wait to finish. A remarkable job by a guy so intelligent, running a tightly orchestrated shop that has so much talent. Cheers guys!
Extremely professional Best work I've had done yet
Wonderfully professional shop and very talented artist. Have never been so pleased with a tattoo shop in ABQ!
They did a great job! Will be back! This is on my ribs
