My entire family goes here. My 21 year old daughter has over 20 tats from Ribbit alone. Smurf has done a few on her as well. I refer everyone to these guys. My daughter has been getting pierced here for years. That's how we came across this place about 5/6 years ago on a hunt for Sapo. Never left. It's our second home. My husband and I just got matching tattoos from Ribbit for my birthday. The only bumper sticker on my car proudly represents 'Ribbit Tattoos' Read Less

I got my first piercing  (nose) done here a little over a year ago. I was 13 and still  terrified of needles. Funny, right? I had looked up other places but all of them were either closed or didn't do piercings like i thought they did. Since my mom works in Rohnert Park, she was sick of driving around searching for a place to get pierced. So I finally found Fifth Sun close to her office. We walked in and were introduced by a large bald man with multiple tattoos, even on his head. I don't recall him actually telling us his name. He seemed kind of distant, but other than that was very friendly and helpful.He took us upstairs where he would be piercing me. Keep in mind I am terrified of needles, so it took me a good 20 minutes just to sit in the chair after crying for about 5 of them. He didn't judge me and was very nice. When i didn't like the original placement of the piercing, he erased the mark gladly and redrew it until i was satisfied. He laughed along with us as my mom made fun of me, but was in no way rude. It hurt more than expected but he was very nice. After, he told me everything i would need to care for my piercing. After a few months my nose formed a lump around the piercing. Me being 13, i was self conscious and tried to get rid of it. I took the piercing out before it was ready and it had already begin to close. I was very upset, but my mom was kind enough to take me back to Fifth Sun to get it tapered as he called it. He told me the lump i had was just scar tissue that had formed around it and i could have gotten rid of it with salt and tee tree oil. This time I went alone to get my nose repierced. I was terrified. It was the same man as before. He laughed with me, and let me practically claw at his arm while he pierced me without any attitude. It hurt pretty bad to get it tapered, but I'm glad I did it. He was very understanding about the whole situation and was kind. He then stuck my piercing right back in and told me what I needed to do if the scar tissue ever reformed. It happened a couple more times, but with the proper care it went away within 2 weeks and I haven't had a lump in probably 9 months. Overall a great experience and I would recommend it to any teenage girl who wants to pee themselves at the sight of a needle.I am now 15 and still very satisfied with my piercing. Great place to go for first timers. Read Less

We are from Redding, CA and we were meeting our long time friend in Petaluma for a girls weekend.  We all decided to have friendship tattoo done but since we aren't from this area we hit Yelp.  Gabby looked at all the reviews, pictures and websites and we decided to call Fifth Sun Tattoo and make an appointment.   We were set up with Robert (Ribit) and emailed him some of our ideas.  We all decided on owl tattoos.  When we arrived to the shop we were greeted by the shop owner (The other Robert) and treated like we mattered.  Very friendly, helpful, offered us beverages and even offered to get us food.  Ribit finished out sketches and Gabby was very particular in what she wanted and Ribit never got frustrated.   Once we were all happy with our drawings we headed up stairs to his tattoo station.  Montina was first and decided to wait on her owl since her family and boyfriend was giving her shit so she got a small heart on her inner toe (ouch).  She didn't even flinch.  Ribit was impressed.  Linsie was next.  She decided on a colorful owl on her inner left forarm with Friends Forever written around it.  Ribit did an amazing job!  His lines are clean and his colors and blinding are LIGIT!  Robert came up to Check on us girls and said ouch the inner forearm is another sensitive spot and Linsie took it like a SAVAGE.  2 hrs later it was finally Gabby turn.  She got a hippy owl tattoo on her right upper arm.  Ribit never complained once even though he had an ear infection.  Gabby was a BEAST!  The shop is clean, friendly and inviting.  I highly recommend coming here for tattoos.  Ribit is THE MAN for color Tattoos.  I will be driving (5hrs) back down here for my next tattoo. THANK YOU RIBIT FROM MONTINA, LINSIE & GABBY! Read Less

Service was great! Atmosphere is fun. Everyone is welcoming and professional.  I left there with a badass tattoo that I get compliments on everyday. Clean lines,deep coloring and he added extra detail and made my idea better than expected. I love my tattoo! Thanks Smurf!Cheli Read Less

I had Robert Lopez AKA The Smurf put a tattoo on my arm of my daughter. I looked high and low through out Sonoma county (Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Petaluma and Windsor) . After seeing his work, I decided to go with Fifth Sun in Rohnert Park. The Smurf did a Fantastic job, I was not easy as it was a full person with the art work I got from a friend in Japan of my Daughter.Read Less

Took my daughter and niece for their 1st tattoo to this place, clean and safe location. We've heard a lot of good comments about "smurf"  and he was GREAT. Very very nice caring ,honest and very humble. He kept asking the girls if they needed a break ,some water or anything in general. Very clear in answering their questions, gave them his personal number for questions if they had more. You can tell he loves what he does and cares about his work. We would definitely return.

I've gotten a couple big pieces done by Robert "Smurf" Lopez and they look AMAZING. I have complete trust in getting quality work from these guys. All the artists there are very good, and very professional. Price is very competitive, cheaper than the other shops in Sonoma Co. The atmosphere is great, just a bunch of cool people who love to tat. That's what it's all about. Keep up the good work! Customer for life... Read Less

I have gotten 3 tattoos here, from a couple different artists and hope to get more done. I am just glad that I found such a cool shop so close to where I live in Cotati. They are very professional here, clean, and do great work. I don't have any piercings, but their piercer is pretty awesome also. 2 of my pieces were done by Hugo, and I can't wait to get more done by him. Read Less
