I drive 5 hours for Kristina! 2 years and 6-7 tattoos later, I finally am tech savvy enough to leave a review for Sugar City and the fan-freaking-tastic Kristina. I live about 5 hours from her shop, but drive down specifically for her art; (it's permanent, y'all).I love her botanical and floral aesthetic; her background in flowers shows through in the natural and organic lines.Her shop is clean, hygienic and friendly. The vibe is super chill and welcoming. Β I have delicate skin and bony gawkiness, and she's conscientious about about my skin pressure. She's also incredibly focused and detailed; we cover a lot of area each sitting. I heart sugar city. :) Read Less

My daughter planned to get a small tattoo from Kristina for her 18th birthday and it was a wonderful experience. Β First of all, Kristina came in to do the tattoo on her day off because my daughter had requested it on her exact birthday. Β This was a perfect experience for a first tattoo...Kristina made her feel very comfortable and special, even though this was a very simple, easy tattoo. Thank you so much Kristina!! Read Less

My tattoo is beautiful, definitely the best work I've had done. Kristina was not only talented but also very quick and gentle! Every time I've visited Kristina and Sorin have been friendly and doing epic work. The shop is also comfortable and you get a lot of personalized attention. This is not a place to pick out a flash piece, it's where you get your dream tattoo. I will be going back. Read Less

I have known Kristina for almost a year, she first hired one of my companies to take her and some friends on a wine tour through Napa. She's a good tipper and wonderful person. Sharp as can be. She's quite hilarious. We have driven her and her friends a few times now. She's tattooed my better half who doesn't have a yelp and she loves the tattoo. Beautiful design and clean lines. I'll add a picture later. It's a Memorial piece. I would recommend her for the following types of tattoos, linework, traditional, flowers, and Japanese styles that I've seen on her instagram.

Kristina and Sorin are phenomenally talented tattoo artists. I have spoken with both of them and have been thoroughly satisfied with my interactions with them. I am currently working with Kristina on an addition to a pre-existing tattoo and am so impressed with her work ethic, flexibility, scheduling, and not to mention her art work. I loved our consultation and am loving our appointments. I've recommended this shop to my friends and will continue to do so! Read Less

In response to the 1 star rating, I would have to disagree. They tattoo many people from Crockett with large ongoing projects, as well as small tattoos. Generally, they are booked out a couple of weeks, so walk-ins aren't normally available.
I am aware that there was a "Shane" trying to apply at the studio, not sure if its the same person.
I have been coming here for years, I have gotten tattooed by the previous owners, as well as the new owners.
Friendly, honest, and humble people. The shop is mostly by appointment only but if you call ahead of time Kristina and Sorin are more than happy to meet you at the shop since they live near and locally to the studio.
This isn't an ordinary tattoo shop. Custom tattoos, great speedy response by email, and walk you through the steps for regular clients and as well as new clients. Read Less

SORIN Β at Sugar City is totally awesome. I have been tattooed by three people in my life and he is hands-down the BEST tattoo artist I have ever met. His artwork is amazing and he translates art into tattoo, which makes for beautiful pieces on the human body. I have received plentiful of compliments on my tattoos from him... I feel like his walking canvas! ** Forgot to mention that he covered up an old tattoo and replaced it with an amazing carnation.**Not only is his artistry something to Yelp about, but his bedside manner and conscientious customer service is not relative to the sometimes-brash persona of a tattoo artist. He is humble, kind & overall a super nice guy!I just want to say, "Thank you!!!" Also... A huge compliment to Sugar City in general...
