Reviews of Por Vida Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Jessica Parker

Wow what a horrible experience! Wish I could give this zero stars. Just left this place trying to get a simple yin and yang tattoo with my boyfriend with some designs inside. Today is supposedly their walk in day so when we called they said no appointment needed. When we arrived they said it would be a half hour wait. 2 hours later... not even a sketch of the tattoo has been done!! The artist came out to talk to us twice and that’s all we saw of him. We have no idea what he was doing in his room or if he was even working on it. I have a lot of tattoos from 3 different places in Albuquerque and have never had that horrible of service! I understand this is a tattoo place with a general laid back attitude but it’s still a place of business that has customers!

Jaqui Dominguez

Got my first tattoo here, about the size of a nickel and got charged $60 dollars plus tax. Service was good but it was extremely pricey. Some friends that did the same size tattoo went to other locations and charged maximum $30. This made me really disappointed .

S Tran

(Update- she did not let us know that there’s a $60 minimum. Obviously I would of not stayed and be complaining. ) The first time I went here I had a great experience. No waiting good work and good price. I just went yesterday and I cannot say the same thing. I went with a different artist this time, goes by Oven. He took a long time to get things set up because he was talking a lot with another artist, which I didn’t mind too much. But what really irritated me was how much he charged. I got a simple semicolon tattoo about the size of a quarter and he charged me $60! It literally took him less than 10 mins to do. Last time I came here I got some writing with an arrow and paid $100. That took almost an hour to do. DO NOT go with this artist, it was such a rip off!!!

Amanda Carroll

I've never been to a tattoo shop that had so many respectful artist and very talented artist I recommend it to everybody I've gotten six tattoos over there and I'm going to get more

Jon G

Went in and walked around for 10 minutes before leaving with nobody asking if I needed help. No one was in the front reception area and there were two guys smoking who appeared to be artists that never bothered asking if I needed help or had questions. I'm a native to Albuquerque and I was made to feel like an outcast.

Ruth Kerr

Had a wonderful experience here. The tattoo artist are very talented an artistic. Anything you can imagine, they can make a reality. Will definitely return.

Marc Billingsley

Joe Nickless

Horrible horrible when trying to speak to the owner he talked down to me when speaking about a simple complaint , he stated that he had proof of signatures when nothing was signed and no paperwork was presented to me . No customer service from the girl at the counter they call nacho . I will never go there again

Awesome tattoo shop with a great staff and an excellent group of tattoo artists.

Mae Muun

All of the staff here is absolutely charming and welcoming! The shop has serious New Mexico vibes, covered in art, and great music playing in each artist's space. Myra helped me most recently, she was very professional and comfortable to be around. Overall the tattoo healed nicely, I'm definitely satisfied with the placement and sizing as well for the cost plus setting up an appointment before hand was super easy —I would definitely return after the service I was provided. Thanks Por Vida!
