Josh is an amazingly talented artist! He was able to take the scattered ideas I had and create something that was absolutely perfect for me. His lines are flawless. I can't wait to get more work done by him. Dixon is lucky to have such a great artist and person in the area. I will be recommending him to everyone I know. Read Less

Josh is an amazing tattoo artist!! Josh has been doing my tattoo work for 11+ years. I love giving him a general concept of what I want and watching him turn it into a beautiful, one of a kind piece of art! Hands down he is the best tattoo artist around!!!! Read Less

I've had work done here before by two other artists. I'm a huge fan of supporting local. Businesses whenever possible, however his demeanor when actually working with him for a new tattoo was rude and unprofessional. He didn't return calls, didn't do any work on our sketch, and then was belligerent when we requested a return on our deposit. This return was requested after the date we were supposed to approve our artwork and he had none to show. There are lots of wonderful artists in the surrounding cities, I'd save my time and trouble and go there. Keep in mind that a lot of these high ratings are for others in the shop....not the owner. I'd have sung this shops praises too before having to actually work with the owner. Never again. Beware if you plan to have any work done by Josh himself. Read Less

I was with my best friend a few days ago while she got a small tattoo done by josh. We had never been to his shop, but she won a gift certificate so we gave him a shot! Got there. All was good he was a super cool chill guy we all bullshitted while he did the tattoo. The next day my friend realized some of the lines on her tattoo weren't even. No big deal, fixable right? He even said he does free touch ups on his work for a year. So she went back in today to set up an appt to ...have it touched up or color in the little circles on the paw print. He said to her "your tattoo was done by a human and won't be perfect". EXCUSE ME? You are putting something on someone that is permanent! It better be as close to perfect as possible! He could have at least given options to color in the circles or something. I get that this was a free tattoo for u since u donated the gift card, but COME ON at least take pride in your work no matter how big or small the tattoo is!!!!! If you were a true artist and cared about your work, you would want it to be as beautiful as possible. Instead you are a pompous jerk about it! As someone who is covered in tattoos myself, I have been in many many shops and I will never ever step foot in this shop again! And I will be sure and let everyone else know that Josh doesn't care about his work and you will get sloppy tattoos! The proof is in the pudding my friends! It won't let me post a picture with this review otherwise I would! Some of the lines are thicker than others it's terrible! He did offer her an appt, but after he literally made fun of her for not being 100% satisfied why in the hell would she want to go back?!?!?! She would rather pay someone else to fix it.

Josh Algood is hands down an amazing artist. He not only can tattoo unlike anyone you've ever seen, he also draws, paints, does BEAUTIFUL calligraphy, etches bottles and so much more. Drop by and check him and Carlos out. Again, another very talented individual, Carlos Barraza. Those two are doing great things! 165 East A Street #C downtown Dixon. Read Less

I've known Josh my entire life, and since he began tattooing I have had well over 25 hours of work done by him. He is a great man/artist/father/friend. If you've never been to his shop I highly recommend stopping by.... you'll be glad you did Read Less

A friend and I recently went to Algood because we wanted a "best friends" design done. We had a very vague idea of what we wanted, but Carlos drew up an amazing design! We had a lot of fun getting them done; he was very professional but also fun to work with. I couldn't be happier with how the tattoo turned out and i would definitely go back to Carlos and recommend this shop to anyone in the area wanting a new tattoo. Read Less

This was my 3rd tattoo by Josh. My first was like 12 years ago when he worked in Roseville; this one was a cover-up on my foot. It's really great to see him own his own shop now! He does a great job, shop is clean, rates are good and he makes you feel comfortable. Best of all, he stands behind his work. If 10 years pass and you need some touch-ups he's got your back. Thanks for the ink Josh, I'll be seeing you again soon! Read Less

Josh managed to squeeze me in (after a cancellation in his afternoon) to do my gorgeous octopus tattoo. Not only was it equal parts gorgeous and adorable, but he knew exactly what I wanted and really made it a work of art. I am totally coming back for my next tattoo(s). Read Less

Very disappointed. I made an appointment with Josh for me and my husband when I was back in Dixon. The night before our appointment my huband got called back to work. He's in the military and we live in so Cal. So we had to leave. I let Josh know and asked if we could reschedule for when we would be back. He read my message and never got back to me. So we are out $120 and don't have our tattoos to represent our son. Very disappointed Read Less

Josh has done several tattoos for me & I am always happy with his work. He is an amazing artist, super professional, & his shop is always clean. Today he did a horse tattoo on my shoulder which he drew himself, with my own horse's markings. It came out perfect. I will only go to him for my tattoos. Read Less

My Mom, Sister and I had a great day getting tattooed, thanks to Joshua. Who even came in on his day off to tattoo us. Which was very much appreciated. So thank you again! We are so happy with our new ink! Defiantly see him for your next tattoo! Read Less

I have been going to Josh for years - new pieces & covers, Josh has done an amazing, professional job each time. He has done original art on them all. I am constantly recommending his shop. If you need piercing, Carlos does an amazing job as well: professional, courteous and knowledgable! Above all this shop is clean! Very important when getting work of this nature done! I highly recommend Algood! Read Less

Everyone at the shop is great!  I don't know why I didn't write this review years ago...better late than never.  I have gone to Josh for 5 of my 9 tattoos  (one being a cover up) and his work is amazing, whether it is a unique piece he hand created or something he is taking from a reference pic.  I will not go anywhere else.  My daughter goes to Carlos for her piercings and he is great, talks to her. Informs her and makes sure she is happy!  Work is clean and we'll done.  You don't have to worry about what kind of pics and paintings are on the walls.  As a woman in the shop you are not bombarded by nudies, partial nudies or questionable paintings.  You can bring your kids with and feel comfortable.  You don't feel like you are in a dark dugeon.  I have taken my mom and my daughter there for us all to get matching tattoos and did not feel uncomfortable at all.Can not think of a bad thing to say, have been in several shops over the years and this is one I will always return to.

Josh is fantastic for so many reasons. His artwork is clearly a step above the competition and he is more than professional with a clean shop and fair prices. He has the softest hand of any artist I've seen and yet his colors are so wonderfully vibrant! His shop is open and inviting and Josh can make you feel comfortable even if you're sitting for a several hour session. If you want truly original artwork done right, this is the place to go. I've had work done by several people, but none come close to what Josh offers. You won't be disappointed! Read Less

Algood Ink is amazing! Josh and Carlos make you feel comfortable and don't treat you with that "too cool for you" attitude that most artists put off. Algood Ink is the only place I'll go to for all my tattoos and piercings! Read Less

This review is specifically for Carlos who pierced my nose. It was my first piercing ever and he was great - knowledgable , patient and even willing to tweak the corkscrew stud months later because of some discomfort I developed. I would definitely go back to Carlos for another piercing. Read Less

Algoodink is by far the best shop I've been to, keep in mind that I went on a hunt for a good tattoo artist with a reputable shop countless of times. Never did I think I'd be getting tatted there, it was always just piercings with Carlos, but as I got to see their work, my mind just blew away, I was so impressed with Joshs' work; I immediately made an apt. Scheduled a session & off we were. He captures what you want & makes it 10x better. First tattoo ever & he made it smooth and easy for me, couldnt be happier, I know I'll be coming to him for future tattoos. Will see him soon for another in no time! Thanks Josh! Read Less

Thank you Josh for saving Christmas! Went to the old shop. Couldn't find a good number for you until today! Thank you for meeting me in the dark of night to let me purchase a gift certificate from you in time to put it under the tree!Read Less

I have lived in the Solano/Yolo area for over 30 years and this place is the best tattoo shop around! Josh is an amazingly talented artist. You can show him any photo, any idea and he will create it for you vividly. I have heard nothing but good things about his shop, it is clean, family friendly, creative, and has great people working there. It is very impressive how reasonable it is there too. If you need some work done, definitely ask for Josh! Read Less

First I would like to say Josh is not only a tattoo guy but an artist. He does amazing work as well as the other artists in his shop. I would never go to anyone else. I trust his talent and have never been disappointed. He has done many tattoo sessions on my arms and it looks amazing. I Am going for another session this Friday. He has also done almost all of my husband's work and my husband is tattooed from head to toe. My husband even has work on his body from when Josh first started tattooing and it looks great. Even after so many years the colors are still as if it was new. It all looks amazing. His lines are straight. Very good at shading and very, very detailed. He listens to the customers needs and wants. and just absolutely does wonderful work. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He is truly a talented artist and very good at what he does.

Josh is an amazing artist who can turn the pictures in your head into beautifully constructed works of art. I will never go to another shop! Great friendly atmosphere with an amazing staff. Very clean, sterile shop which is even decorated nicely. I'm in love with my back piece & touch up of an existing piece! Read Less

This is the only shop my wife and I will ever go to and Josh will be the only one who will ever place the needle on us. The shop is very clean all of the artists are exceptionally talented and are top in their field.. Read Less

I just had my first Appointement with Josh, the owner, and all I can say is WOW.. what an amazing job he did.  I had a concept and he just rolled with it.  He is a very skilled artist that knows what he is doing, He didnt rush and made me feel very comfortable.  I will refer anyone who wants work done to his place.  I am so happy with the result that I am planning my next one.  He took his time and did a Fantastic job.  Thanks so much Josh, See you again in the future.

Go to Joe. Seriously, go to Joe. He does amazing work! I looked for an artist for two years to put my sleeve on me and as soon as I saw his work, I knew he was the right artist for the piece. He has lived up to my extremely high expectations.Now, the shop. It's clean, has an open feel. Not dark and kinda pissed-off feeling like a lot of the shops I've been to. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and seems to truly enjoy their work. Rates are decent. Equipment is clean. Top notch shop. Read Less

I am absolutely happy here! Stop by this place and trust me you will not be disappointed. Big Greg did two of my tattoos and I must say they look freaking awesome!!!   Will I be coming back here?? HELL YEAH!! Read Less

I have had two pieces done here so far, both by Greg, and they are amazing!!! I have gotten so many compliments on them that it is almost bothersome!!! lol. I feel very comfortable here and there is even a kids' area. Josh is super friendly and does amazing work too. Definitly worth the money I have spent here! They start at $120 an hour with a minimum of $60.  I have referred three other people here and they have all been just as satisfied as I have been.  I plan on going back this weekend to have Carlos re-pierce my lip!!

Josh is very professional, artistic and an overall great guy. He's incredibly artistic and does amazing tattoos!

I get complimented all the time on the work he's done. Read Less
