No Disappointments.
Well, here I sit with a new tattoo on my arm saying to myself "well I really went and did it this time!". You see, I am 70 years old and have never had a tattoo but with the recent death of my
beloved brother, I wanted something to memorialize him.
I live in Vancouver, Washington and visit my favorite city once or twice every year. Before I left, I did a search for tattoo artists and came across Black and Blue. I thought their website was very nicely done and helpful so I called. Jaime answered the the phone. He asked me several questions to find out what I had in mind and within a few minutes he conceptualized a very clever one off tattoo for me.
When I arrived at the tattoo shop on Guerrero, Jaime cordially invited me in and showed me his drawing off my new tattoo and then we tweaked it to perfection. Jaime was very polite and well mannered, a good conversationalist and a superb tattoo artist.
The atmosphere of the place was very relaxed and professional. Jaime spent three hours working with me and in the end he created a true masterpiece that I can wear with pride and dignity.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jaime. With his gracious manner and marvelous talent, you won't be disappointed. The whole experience exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic!. My husband and I got tattoos at this shop. We were very impressed with the professionalism and talent of the staff. My artist was Kim. She was amazing! Very personable and seemed genuinely concerned with my comfort level during the tattoo process. She did an amazing job. I absolutely LOVE my tattoo. My husband's artist was Victor. He did an incredible job as well. We don't live in this area, but LOVE the staff and the quality of work they produce. We will be back!…
Unbelievable Quality and Service.
I had been searching high and low for a tattoo business that I would be comfortable with for the past three years in the midwest, northeast, and now in San Francisco.
After reading the yelp reviews I did a walkin on Saturday at Black & Blue Tattoo. I by chance met Victor who immediately got what I wanted. We made an appointment for Monday. Art for review arrived late Saturday night. Both my wife and I were blown away with the quality of the rendering.
Bottom line is that I just finished a 3.5 hour sitting with Victor. Victor has the touch and the end result is that I have an unbelievable tattoo that was more than I could have every hoped for.…
could not be more satisfied.. let me start off by saying, i researched a lot, and being from san jose, i looked seriously around that area for awhile. when i entered shops i was either ignored or made to feel like i wasn't 'cool enough' to be there; totally weak. as soon as i called balck and blue, the receptionist was so sweet, recommended an artist that would be best to give what i wanted... i knew i had found my place. the whole experience was well worth the little drive. rocio is the best, hands down. very calming, funny, down to earth. and talented to boot. i have had my tattoo for a month and i get compliments all the time. she did an amazing job covering up what i had and making the whole piece clean and beautiful. go here, seriously. SO important to feel at ease in a place that is marking your body permanently, and the talent is ridiculous.…
My first tattoo!. I had heard great things about this place and was actually on my way to another place but decided to check it out. It was my first tattoo but I decided to let Edie (who is an apprentice) try her skills out on me. I have a super super super fab tattoo. It took over 4 hours but it was really worth it.…
