Castro Tattoo

I just got my first tattoo here and it was the most amazing experience! Every single person in the shop were so welcoming and kind! The artist who did my tattoo (Who Tattoo, aka José) did such an amazing job listening to my ideas and executing them perfectly!! 1000000/10 first tattoo experience and I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get some ink in SF!!

I had an amazing experience at Castro Tattoo with Haley Adams! They are not only incredibly talented but also professional and attentive. Haley really listened to my ideas and brought them to life with stunning detail and creativity. The shop itself has a great vibe—clean and smells like fresh baked cookies, welcoming, and comfortable. Haley made the whole process smooth and enjoyable, and I couldn’t be happier with the final result. If you’re looking for an artist who truly cares about her work and their clients, I highly recommend Haley at Castro Tattoo!

Emily Pax at Castro Tattoo designed and tattooed the most beautiful possum queen there ever was. The shop itself was very clean and welcoming, and Emily was truly so lovely. Her work is amazing, detailed, and so thoughtful, and I had a wonderful time chatting with her while she created Phillipa. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Castro tattoo what can I say! Everyone at the shop is so talented beyond belief. Queer safe tattoo shops are few and far between and the deep love that Castro tattoo has for the community is so prevalent in their work, their practices and the way they treat everyone that comes through their doors. Castro tattoo has given me many beautiful pieces and that is priceless! Thank you Castro tattoo for your continued art that graces our communities bodies.

Ale did such a great job. I love my tattoo so much and everyone tells me how much they love it too. It was painless and healing was easy. Can't wait to schedule the next one. Photos are from first session
