Sis and I went in to get a matching tat. Noe worked on my sisters the other guy I forget his name did mine. He obviously didn't know what he was doing he was using too much pressure on the needle and hurting me. Noe had to finis mine. The reason they get one star is bcs Noe was seriously perverted and kept hitting on my sisters friend to the point where it made us uncomfortable! Highly unprofessional. Read Less

Contra Tattoo is one of my favorite shops that I've ever had the fortune of walking into. My one and only artist is Andrew Thaxter. Andrew has the most original work and a very unique style to his art that I have ever seen. I'm constantly being asked where I've gotten my work done, and I'm always happy and excited to share his name and my experiences. He doesn't have a heavy hand, his lines are clean, colors are extremely vibrant and his work is one of a kind. You definitely get what you pay for with Andrew. He's always extremely understanding if you need to take a break and is super personable. Because of the way that Andrew has treated me, and the work-ethic that he displays... he has me completely sold on his work. Andrew is an artist that is completely worth the wait when there is one.. and I won't go to anyone else. Read Less

This shop is one of the best in Fresno with some incredible artists. The place all around is very clean and the artists are super friendly and helpful. My artist is Andrew C. Thaxter and I have gotten most of my tattoos by him because his work is VERY clean and vibrant. He has a very unique traditional style and he is quite the dude. Not only is he a great artist but he is really fun to talk to while getting tattooed. He makes sure your feelings come before tattooing so if you feel a bit sick or need to take breaks often, no problem. I highly reccomend going to Contra Tattoo and getting pieces by all the artists there. Never want to go anywhere else now! Read Less
