I love peter and Amy! I got my first tattoo here and all others except for 2. One was because I was living out of state and the other one which was my last one, I got at Doug's Tattoo in Oakland. HUGE MISTAKE! (My crescent moon was not straight and had blacked out on the bottom because he had dug in too deep) I had to have peter fix it and I am sooooo happy with the results! I will not be going outside of peters anymore. He and his wife work really well together to make sure u get a neat and beautiful tattoo and are not just there to collect money. So whatever they charge PAY IT! Lol or you'll be paying double or triple to have your cheap tattoo fixed, trust me. Read Less

I felt comfortable. Talked with the lady up front about size and price. She was very friendly. Then Peter drew out the tattoos and we were in! Nice steady work. Thanks. Would definitely come back again....hopefully soon Read Less

Peter and Amy are awesome. I have been going to Peter since 2000. First my wife and I would go, now my 18 year old daughter starting going when she wanted a Tattoo for her 18th birthday. I have numerous tattoos. Too many to count, Full sleeve, chest, neck, etc. Peter has done them all. Nice clean place and they are great to work with and really care about you and the care of your tattoo. Read Less

Peter did my Doggies Paw Print on my foot with her name. He did an excellent job. I did go back and have them touch it up after a few months. It's on the top of my foot so, since I sleep on my stomach it rubbed a little on the top. They are nice and I would come here for simple tattoos. I plan on going back to get my Sons name on my wrist. I love the writing that was done for my first one. My friend, her Mom and Sister all got matching tattoos. We are all pleased and are getting more work done here when the time comes. Read Less

One star for the fact that their minimum is $40 and the fact that they're open late. Most usually close around 7-8 ish (usually for business safety). My boyfriend randomly wanted a few finger tattoos and the only place we found open at this time of night was Peters Skin Art.FYI- prior to walking in, I already checked previous (bad) reviews and we still gave it a shot. Hoping our luck was good.On Monday, November 9th at approximately 8:30PM, my boyfriend and I entered this shop, in hopes that this place could execute a few finger tatts he had in mind-- a silhouette of a pistol and a cross symbol.When you first walk in, the shop is small and simple- mom and pop vibe. Small waiting area with the typical tattoo drawing ideas hanging on their walls, with a few pictures of Peter's own work.When you walk to the back/tattooing area... It starts to look a tad bit sketch... Honestly, I would describe their tattoo area "room" to be a makeshift, super frugal dorm area. The area and set up was a bit sloppy in my opinion. The table is a portable party table. Not your normal tattoo station area or room- if you've been to other tattoo shops then you know exactly how I was kind of expecting it to look.Peter's wife found two photos online of a pistol and a simple cross that my boyfriend liked to get as tattoos. His wife btw was nice and was welcoming.The first tattoo- A silhouette of a pistol, ON his finger.Peter placed the picture and began to tattoo. Half way through a nickel sized picture, while tattooing, the rubber band on his tattoo gun pops off and smacks my boyfriend on his face, barely missing his eye. Peter says, "Oops, sorry." goes to his drawer, grabs another rubber band and wraps his tattoo gun. Didn't ask if he was okay, if he wanted to stop for a second, nothing. I also kid you not when I say Peter stopped a good 10 times to continuously go super dab happy with some petroleum jelly from his condiment bottle... Then continuously use a snot kleenex tissue to wipe off any extra ink or residue- which led to leaving MORE unnecessary residue from the super thin tissue he was using. (which is why majority of shops use paper towel- less fiber residue). Peter says the gun is finished- we look to see and there were a few spots he clearly forgot to fill in, I tell him to fix it. Done.The second and final tattoo- A cross, in between fingers.Peter knocked it out, after we told him the lines had to be thicker. It was fixed and finally done, after his (again) numerous dabs of jelly with his kleenex.The next morning, my boyfriend noticed that BOTH tattoos began to bleed! Knowingly... Of course, in certain areas of the body, over time tattoos will either fade, stretch, or bleed, sometimes all... And also would depend on the person who has the tattoo, aftercare, etc. But way less than 24 hours and they're BOTH bleeding? Maybe it was all the super magic petroleum jelly throughout the tattooing process... Got all into his skin and flesh that it took some ink with it, down with the needle and just bled. How great!I checked the Yelp reviews again, and am reminded by previous customers that they had similar issues with this business!!! I've attached photos of both tattoos from here.This place may be convenient and cheap/good for prices, but inexpensive prices- usually comes with matching quality!!!*PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE!!!*Take your money, or your 40 and get a shop minimum tattoo elsewhere!!! Now my boyfriend wasted $80, and will have to spend roughly the same amount at another shop to either get it fixed or covered. Ridiculous!!! Read Less

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE OUTSIDE!!Peter and his wife are great, super nice people! I went in to get a quick tattoo! And peter's wife drew it out exactly how I wanted it and they are not expensive what so ever ! Not like other place! I am very satisfied with my tattoo and also by the service they provided! They also do free touch ups within a few months if you feel it fades! Never judge a book by its cover! Because you never know the details within the story and Peter's tattoo is exactly that! He does amazing work! Read Less

Worst tattoo shop EVER.  I had my wifes name done on my ring finger within 24 hrs it looked like a blob couldn't read it for nothin. My wife went to another shop her finger is half the size of mine and hers looks great even added a lil color I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN THIS SHOP AGAIN poor customer service poor work. I would give it 0 stars if I could do your research before people.  I recommend Calaveras Tattoo shop on mission cleaner friendly great work Read Less

DO NOT GET A TATTOO HERE. I had a few tattoos here and some elsewhere, I notice that the ink turns green within a year, its supposed to stay dark..One time I came in for a quote the wife and husband team tried to jack up the price. I asked the lady she said "i don't know let me ask my husband" they speak in Chinese but I know it's a front, then she said he said it was too small. However, I saw a really intricate Aztec maze tattoo done on the wall, therefore, i know it was nonsense the tattoo is too small. Also, I had a bar-code done by him the previous year, now that's small. Pricing is way off. They charge $20 per word, not even by how detailed it is.NOT STERILE NEEDLES. Needs are supposed to be thrown away by law, he's putting a needle in you that was put into someone else. He uses an ultrasonic machine to clean the needles, but according to my latest artist, he said those are not reliable.I'm Asian myself, I know how Chinese does business, they try to maximize profit, and sell you a lemon.As for his work, I will say he can do the job you need him to do. I am not attempting to say to be biased and say he's not a great artist, he is, but you will risk your life getting a tattoo here. Read Less

Out of my 4 tats, I got 3 done here and they do wonderful work. My 3 tats and my  4th tat look the same quality even though done at two different places. Im planning on going to Peters for my next tat sometimes in two weeks. They are decently priced compared to other tat shops and my nxt tat is less then half of what I was quoted at the place I got my 4th tat done. Good work,Nice people,Good prices. A must go! Read Less

I went there to get my first tattoo. Their hours say 2-10 everyday except Tuesdays (closed), but they didn't open until three when I went. That aside, they were incredible. I walked in with my own design and asked Amy to fix it up a bit for me. Took her a few minutes and then she sent me back for Peter to get started. Very nice people, comforting environment. I would go back again! Read Less
