Reviews of Tinta Cantina (Tattoo Shop)

Jose Valdez

Great work and a cool look

Melanie Lewis

Tyson is a great artist and I love the atmosphere

Phillip Adams

Spent an hour driving there after speaking on the phone with the very polite receptionist only to be directed to an artist that specialized in a completely different style than what I asked for. My consultation with this artist consisted of a handshake followed by being immediately snubbed me off in the most pretentious manner possible. Thanks. Won't be back.

I often look online for reviews on places prior to going, but alot of these one stars seem inaccurate. This place is welcoming and I felt very at home getting my tattoo. Jerrett understood my concept and the execution of it, was EXACTLY what I wanted. Tyson, also a really great artist here. These negative reviews sound like whiny kids who don't know how to act sociable or properly convey what they want.

Got my very first tat at the age of 62..... loved it...loved the artist....loved the experience

denisse montes

By far worst tattooing experience I have ever had. The tattoo artist didn’t really want to work with me, my tattoo isn’t what I wanted. It’s very sad having a tattoo that you don’t like.

Arianne Morrow

Wonderful place to get a tattoo, awesome and friendly staff, also funny!! Highly recommend!

Ms. Aimz

Kane is awesome.. for sure going back!!!

Elise King

Santi did a black band on my arm as a memorial piece for my sister. She had died only a few days before and he was so kind. Not to mention the tattoo looks amazing, the lines are straight and beautiful.

Aspasia Stewart

Great tattoo artist. They allow smoking inside the shop so it always smells heavily like cigarettes. They do charge a bit more than other places for the same tattoo.

Billy Raybern

This place really knows their stuff! All the artists are very experienced and they all are funny and makes your tattoo experience enjoyable!

Greg Klein

I got a fairly simple tattoo (my first!) here a week or two ago. I don't remember the name of the artist who helped me, but he was patient and helpful. I had a lot of questions and he answered all of them. Can't wait to get another one! :)

Stuffed cat

wonderful place for seasoned collectors! All custom, so strongly suggest stopping by and consulting with one of 8 amazing artists!

Maya Mascarenas

Awesome shop! Tyson Gonzales is fair, fun to be around, and incredibly talented! His work is precise and detailed. If you're looking for a great tattoo and to have a good time getting it, go see Tyson.

Joeyjg

Got my first tattoo here the other day, I'm satisfied with what came out, would definitely come back in the future to add some detail to the piece as well as for future tattoos.

Dave Ortega

This place is awesome the staff is amazing the owner of the place is really cool and just as his staff are very experienced artist and take pride in all the work that they do I would advise if you need any ink there is no better place then this place best ink work in the city hands down.

Ilie Spilca

Nice place

Scott Clark

I have been to this shop sevral times it is very clean neat and the artists are great very friendly and willing to work with any idea! I have been getting tattoos for about the last fifteen years it is very hard to find someone you can trust with your skin! this place is great not everyone clicks so make sure you talk to one or two guys there and look at the work they do. Each artist will be better at somthing he has a paassion for so make sure your artisit enjoys the type of work you want done! Thanks guys for all the great help and all the great work!

Sarah McPherson

This took 2 hours and im so in love he did awesome work and took me as a walk in

Ben Dodson

It took too long for him to sketch it out and on top of that the people were extremely rude and not concerned about my problem.

Cameron Riggs

I waited until after the tattoo i got healed up so I could give a more honest review of here. Overall it was pretty expensive for a small tattoo, and after seeing how it healed up and the line work, I wouldn't recommend. They are still fantastic artists, but I would personally recommend Stay Gold, further east on Central...If you can ever catch them open that is.

Ron Cantrell

Great place

Yvonne Prentice

Elvis has done mine and my husbands tattoos there and they have been amazing and fair prices I will never let anyone else do my tattoos but Tinta Cantina

Anthony Ibarra

Bryso did amazing work on my upper left arm. Would easily go back when I get the itch for another tattoo

Meghan Womack

Got my first tattoo here and had a wonderful experience. Jerrett was wonderful and sweet-talked about Star Wars with my friend while he did my tattoo. And it looks amazing!

Ryan Thomas Petropoulos

Very friendly staff. Quality work. Very qualified artists.

Tim Richey

Badass artists and atmosphere! Abe Krasko is the man!!

Have your design ready before you come thru!!! Lots of artwork in the design books located atop the surfboard/table, but it can be confusing & time consuming (as you peruse the designs). One of few places in the area that takes walk-in clients. Seem strange to me, consider the overwhelming number of tattoo parlors & number of tatted up folks, but hey that's the law of the land. At any rate, I journeyed in to get a tattoo & was appointed to Abe to get me inked up. He did a good job & I must admit although there's a needle carving in my skin, he was gentle enough & allowed me time to make the adjustments for the pain. I was very tense, but his gentle hands helped me to relax during the process; he had a borderline sensuous touch that, ehhhhhhh ok I'll keep it clean, that made relaxing much easier. Seems like they charge more by the hour & not necessary the size of the tattoo, as is in some other places; go figure, tomato, tomato. After the art work was completed, there was a minor adjustment to be made, but that was done a week later to allow for scarring etc. But once that issue was corrected, all was good in the hood.

Teresa Schumacher

I've used Chris Partain for over 12 years. He's right at home at Tinta. The rest of the staff are awesome and welcoming as well as very talented. Chris handled my daughters first tattoo keeping her relaxed through the process explaining every step to keep her angst at bay and had her giggling to boot.

Mike Lowrie

Everyone's cool, bad ass artists!

Thank You

I will never ever go to this place again. Not only did they make me feel hella uncomfortable, but the person who did my tattoo on my wrist didn't do a good job at all! I can still see my skin iin the tattoo. They suck! Never going here again!!!!!!!!!!!

Arie Deller

Love Johnny Mac's work. We haven't dealt much with the rest of the staff, but we love his watercolor work and have done several pieces with him. If you're getting watercolor, he's the one to see.

Alvin Phillips

Very nice experience awesome work thanks guy

Vaughn Awelagte

Been the a great place for a tattoo by far. Staff are super courteous, and helpful. The atmosphere is welcoming, can't ask for anything else in a shop like this.

Mark Conklin

Got my first tattoo here. Stuie did the work. He was fast, friendly and professional. Steady hands lead to clean lines and beautiful work. Prices are fair and set per artist. The building is decked out in bright colors, artwork, and quirky but poignant signage. The work space was small but not terrible. Tools kept clean and sterile. Very happy with the work done here, will definitely go back.

Samantha

Ray is the best. All the guys there are friendly and nice.

Jose Angel Rodriguez

Had my 35yr old tattoos 're-touched up.loved the work.Done by Simon..

Richard Miller

I love the tattoo made at Tinta Cantina! I only requested a small tattoo as my remembrance for a visit to New Mexico and the artist never failed to meet my expectations. The area is greatly designed with complex decorations and original art. Lots of tattoo artists seems to usually gather in this place and they discuss and show their artworks with each other. Hope I can visit again this place.
