After several years of "making the time" & deciding on exactly what I wanted for my coverup, combined with a bunch of crappy sketches &/or poor customer service from other shops in the area (also contributed to my delays, in my defense lol), I walked in not knowing what to expect. I was pleased w/ the "welcoming" feel you get when you walk in here & it's great that you're greeted & "screened" even while other customers are being tended to. So I got connected to Aaron, showed him a few pictures  of the flowers (maybe 3 or 4 pics) & aquarius waves I wanted (also shared others' tats so he knew what I did/didn't want the product to look like). I appreciated how Aaron listened to my details & the way he shared his advice- it felt like he completely understood my vision. I scheduled my sesh for the next day. After some consultation, Aaron briefly reviewed the pics & sketched the design on me. I was pretty blown away by the sketch, I loved it! I was originally thinking of black ink only because of my melanated skintone :) but Aaron gave me some confidence when he shared past experiences. So, we went color & I couldn't be happier with the vibrant blues + greens, the shading, just ALL of it! I am waiting for it to fully heal to share some pics-I feel like its current state doesnt give Aaron the credit he deserves. I have to say, he's truly an artist...I've gone to 3-4 other shops- they hardly listened, would sketch some random flowers on me (even after me showing them pics), & force their ideas on me strongly. Aaron was nothing but sensible, patient, supportive, & customer-focused. I would totally recommend, 5/5, tell your friends!  thanks for reading! Read Less

Sugarfoot is definitely the best tattoo shop I've been to in a while. I had the pleasure of working with Aaron. Originally I planned to get a tattoo from Natasha (she was away on a trip) BUT Aaron sold me on his professionalism and awesome collaboration skills. He may be new to the shop but he definitely knows his shit. I love the fact that he spent the time to really figure out what I wanted and involved me in the design process. Another great thing about Sugarfoot is the chill vibe, cool people and very relaxed atmosphere which made the whole experience memorable. I definitely recommend this place for your next tattoo!  tip well these artist are amazing Read Less

I normally don't look for 5 star establishments on Yelp but this isn't about buying an item , shop in a restaurant or getting a haircut.. this is something that will stay with you for life and you want it done right the first time, there's no going back...I came here cuz I wanted a Tattoo and had my own design. I was very skeptical at first, Bryn did an amazing job on me and I couldn't be happier getting my first and hopefully only tattoo. He took his time and made sure everything was done perfect. Read Less

Came in on a Sunday evening for a quick lil tattoo with my little brother. I was visiting from out of town, and left the next morning... so we decided to get a tattoo that night. Bryn was with another customer, but quoted us a time and took care of us an hour later. Shop minimum is $80, but it might raise, so don't hold me to it. My brother (his first tattoo ever) and I got the SF Giants logo on our wrist as it means a lot to us. Bryn was clean, professional and quick! We love our new ink and I am extremely appreciative of his welcoming behavior and great work. I like artists who aren't just about the job, they talk about their lives and make it more personal. I live across the country, but I'd be back if I ever needed some more ink in San Mateo lol. Read Less

Bryn turned a vision (aka my pics from Pinterest) into reality to cover up the surgical scar on my abdomen (got what I requested on first trial). I went to Godspeed 3 times, plus multiple emails to tell/show the artist what I want.  Yet he kept on throwing in his touch and ideas without consideration of what I want. Needless to say, I am not trusting that artist... It's a loss of $100 there but it is what it isAnyways, I stopped by once to see Bryn and emailed him after of my ideas. At the appointment time, his drawing was spot on of what I wanted. Outline is now done and can't wait to see the masterpiece in about 3 weeks when the filling is completed. I totally recommend him. Read Less

I really cant say enough good things about this place. I went in a few days ago and got a a small piece done by Dustin! The prices were great & his work is amazing. He was super comfortable to chat with and so helpful when we started throwing ideas for my piece around. Honestly, I'll never go anywhere else again!! Cant wait for round two!!! Read Less

5 Stars!!!I Would Recommend This Spot To Anyone In Thinking Of Getting Any Ink In The Penninsula Area(Just Call  or Swing By To See When They Have Room), Staff Is Super Laid Back, Dustin Did My Piece, I Had An Idea In My Head Of What I Wanted&He Definitely Exceeded My Expectations, Super Creative&On Point, Can't Wait To Go Back For Another One. Read Less

I had an amazing experience getting my recent tattoo at Sugarfoot. Natasha is an amazing artist. She is extremely friendly, patient, and listened to everything I wanted. The final result is spot on. The other guys in the shop were very friendly as well and we all had a good time during my sessions. I highly recommend! Read Less

Very pleased with my first ever tattoo done by Natasha. The design process was simple, and Natasha thought about how the result would look from various angles. She accommodated my request to change the orientation of the lettering very quickly.The finished product is very detailed, with clear lines and bright colors. I have received many compliments on the quality of the work. Read Less

Got my first tattoo here from Natasha! I was extremely scared but she really made it an easy experienced. I love the fact that she wasn't heavy handed and really made sure it turned out perfect. Will be back again !! Read Less

I've a few tattoos here. A couple from Natasha and one from Dustin and my friend got one from Bryn. They are all very professional, friendly and patient. The vibe of the shop is relaxing. Music in the background, conversations and a laughter. Which for me helps me feel relaxed under the needle. Natasha did my last 2 tattoos and I'm excited for her to continue all my pieces. She's extremely creative and has an eye for  detail. Read Less

I have 6 tattoos by Dustin. Always helpful, patient, friendly and MOST importantly... all of my tattoos look AWESOME! They have all healed perfectly and of all my tattoos these 6 are my favorite. I will be back for more. Thanks a million! Read Less

Went here today to get matching tattoos with my mother for her birthday gift (her first tat). Bryn Taylor, our artist was everything we could of asked for and more! His quirky sense of humor and down to earth personality made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. The artwork he did on us was absolutely flawless. His phenomenal skills created a piece for us that exceeded our expectations and creating an experience of a lifetime!If you need good ink. He's your guy. Plain and simple. Read Less

Walked in randomly on a Friday night with no clear idea of what I wanted. Thanks for patiently talking to me about my options, being open to what I wanted, and giving me honest advice. I love my tattoo Dustin! Read Less

I got my first tattoo here and if I ever decide to get another one, I would come back to this one! I felt comfortable with the atmosphere, it wasn't overwhelming. Everyone was nice and Natasha did a really good job on my tattoo and gave me some advice on things I havien't thought of. They even made sure that I got instructions on how to clean and take care of my tattoo. I highly recommend Sugarfoot Tattoo! Read Less

So I got my first tattoo here and just like everyone that gets it for the first time, I was anxious and worried. My artist was Dustin while Natasha was in the back working on some sketches. Dustin immediately made me feel at peace and relaxed, he continuously engaged in conversation even while doing my arm.I wasn't sure what font I wanted for my word tattoo but Dustin came up with a few ideas. He and I tweaked some things here and there and I was finally happy with the sketch so we decided to proceed.Extremely professional, very clean, just amazing work all around. Can't be happier for my first tattoo!! I'm already going back for my 2nd piece next month and I'm bringing a friend with me!!Dustin definitely has an eye for things that he likes, I felt that he was more comfortable in working on pieces that he also agrees with, that he seems to enjoy it and be more enthusiastic about it, which also means that he will probably do a great job at it. So if you have a piece that doesn't sit right with him, let him know and work on it together. You'll get great results!!!PS: I've never reviewed anything on yelp, so this is my first review because I just had to let people know how great this place was!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read Less

Natasha is an all star tattoo artist, I can't see myself going to someone else for my tattoos. She's got the right mix of warmth with professionalism and was somehow able to interpret my hand gestures and vague descriptions into the exact tattoo I wanted. I'm not good at describing things and she's super patient with revisions/expanding on ideas and drafts for a tattoo. She's able to read my pain threshhold well and doesn't make any judgement about it, and is protective of my comfort level (ex: pain level, being exposed semi-nude laying on the table, air temperature, etc) before anything else. Five stars. Read Less

I'm conflicted. I don't know whether I should give a one or five-star review. A one star review for lack of customer service and professionalism or a five-star review for treating me so horribly, I went to someone else and got the tattoo I wanted.To clarify, I came in wanting to get my first tattoo. A friend of mine said it was good place to get wording done so in my mind this was the spot. The shop was empty on a Sunday afternoon, maybe that should have been my first warning. I came in with a pic of the writing and placement I wanted on my side. Seemed pretty straight forward. Dustin talked to me, looked up the font and printed out a version he felt was good. His print-out didn't resemble the picture, so I didn't want to go forward. He tried a couple of different times to sketch it out and each time, it wasn't quite right. I guess he finally had enough after around 15 minutes and said that maybe I should work with Bryn. Fine. I'm easy going, but more importantly I want to make sure it's going to be EXACTLY what I want because it's permanent.So, Bryn and I start talking about what I want. Dustin leaves and a few minutes later comes back and confronts me that he felt that things got weird between us and that he felt that I was telling him how to do his job. Awkward. I wasn't, I just know what I want. Bryn had to apologize for Dustin's demeanor and took his time to research fonts for me and try to sketch out my request. Unfortunately, he didn't really capture the picture properly, so I declined. At this point, things got uncomfortable. Now they are ganging up on me, telling me that I don't know what I want. Clearly, I do, since I brought a picture of what I wanted, it's not really my fault you can't recreate the picture I brought you. Then telling me that "other people show us pics and love what we show them." Apparently, I'm not other people. At this point, I just want to leave the shop. They apologized for going hard on me and making it weird and I really kept trying to make the best of it Honestly, it felt more like Tattoo shop 101 with me getting skooled.  I say this because I was surprised at the level of defensiveness and I also got put down about the font style I chose and I guess it wasn't considered cool that I chose my art from IG and Pinterest. What can I say, I'm just a simple peninsula girlie girl who knows what she likes!  At one point, I very carefully asked Dustin if he knew of anyone else who specialized in wording or fonts. A pretty standard practice when an artist can't/won't do the work requested. Dustin straight up declined saying, "I'm not gonna refer you and give someone else business." No insecurity there. Bryn again had to apologize for Dustin, but the damage was done. Bryn seems nice, just neither of them could do the work I wanted. I left there but then met up with Sarah at Royalty Tattoo Collective in Burlingame, she took the time to work with me, got it right and I love my new tattoo!After writing this up, I guess I'll go with the one star and write Sarah, her own five-star review. Read Less

DUSTIN DID A GORGEOUS JOB!! So this was my first visible tattoo, and I was super nervous. I was getting something done on both ankles. I came in with an idea for one design, and then something slightly more concrete for the other. Wow, Dustin did a stunning job of the renditions for each, and certainly improved upon and embellished what I had in mind. He was also incredibly patient with me. I know I took awhile to get ready, and was sort of stressing out and bouncing off the walls in the beginning. Dustin is not only an incredibly talented artist, but very kind and reassuring. By the time I actually sat down and he started with the ink, I was honestly thinking of my next one--visible at that. So that basically sums up how professional and lovely he was. Thank you thank you Sugarfoot!!! Read Less

I really like Bryn Taylor. He does such great work! Ive had few tattoos done by him and they're so pretty!!!!! I also feel like it didn't hurt as much as other tattoos I've had done when he did mine.  He did a great job on s mandala piece I just got and on a sugar skull he did on my foot. Will be back for more!!! Read Less

Natasha is the best: talented and personable. I love that she does in-depth consultation before starting to tattoo.  The shop is artfully decorated and quiet (appointment only eliminates lookie-loos) and I love this. Read Less

Bryn Bryn Bryn! So I've been going to Bryn for over 7 years now with 7 plus tattoos and more in the works! My brother, sister-in-law, mom and a couple friends also go to Bryn for all their work!! He listens to what you want and delivers!! He's super talented and easy going which makes for an awesome experience every time!! Read Less

Dustin Richards has done my last 2 tattoos, and he is quick, INCREDIBLY talented, and reasonable with price. You won't find a friendlier environment either. An amazingly positive experience and I will certainly be going back. Read Less

In early 2014, I knew I wanted to get my first tattoo. I was nervous, but saw the reviews for Sugarfoot. I went in and met Bryn, and he is the absolute best. He takes his time and the quality of his work is top notch. I now have a bunch of tattoos - and I only go to Bryn. Highly recommend! Read Less

Bryn Taylor is the man. Plain and simple. 20+ years of tattooing experience makes for a guy who can create just about anything you desire and then lay it down with care and precision. The rest of the gang is friendly and the shop is pretty clean, can't really go wrong if you're looking for a spot to get some work done. Read Less

I got a rib piece done by Dustin, and what an experience it was. First of all, he took my idea from a sketch to an absolute masterpiece. He was very thorough in his artwork and I couldn't believe the end result. I was worried as this was my first tattoo, but now looking back, I had no reason to worry. Dustin was very straightforward with his estimates in terms of money and time, and he delivered a high quality piece of art that I absolutely love. I'm definitely going to come pack to get another piece done by him. Read Less

Want a shop with no attitude? Want a shop with reasonable prices?  Go to Sugarfoot. Want your work done by someone with a soft touch and great skills? Want to go to someone that is sweet and cares about what you want? See Natasha.  I had my Nasty Woman tattoo done by Natasha and am so happy to be able say that I have happily found my reason to never have to look for anyone else do my work. Read Less

Dustin did a birdcage tattoo for me and it came out just like how I wanted!  He advised me not to have it upside down on my arm like I originally wanted and I'm so glad I listened to his advice!  I asked for him to make it look like stitching and he listened to me when I wanted changes to the original sketch as he was working.  He was kind and patient given the changes.  I am very pleased with the result and I can't stop looking at my adorable new tattoo! Read Less

I've gotten 2 tattoos from Dustin now. Awesome dude who does awesome work. Makes me feel at ease and he's totally patient. I love this shop! Natasha and Bryn, the other artists in the shop are always so nice too. Read Less

Natasha is amazing! She has done both my tattoos and I couldn't be happier. She has a great bedside manner, is super professional, and will work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want. I get compliments on her handiwork all the time. She is awesome! Read Less

I recently got my latest tattoo here by Dustin and it's amazing! I wanted the sheet music to the Star Wars theme and I knew it would be tricky to get all the straight lines and details. Dustin even warned me that it might not look perfect like on paper but after looking through his portfolio, I had complete confidence in him. I'm glad I did because it is PERFECT! It looks just like music on paper! That is one steady hand! I highly recommend. Read Less

DUSTIN is the most patient and detail minded tattoo artist that I have ever known. He is willing to listen to my ideas and at the same time giving the best advice. I am very lucky to have him did my tattoo and I love it very much. I will definitely come back for another tattoo even I live in Hong Kong. Dustin is simply talented and have my highest recommendation. Thank you very much!Fei Read Less

This shop has great people working there and they do great work. They're all friendly and approachable. Bryn did a great job on my tattoo and had a good vision for what would help it stand out. I will be going back for another. Read Less

This review is for both Natasha and Bryn.Back in 2013, my friend and I got tattooed at the same time. I was tattooed by Natasha, and she was tattooed by Bryn.Speaking of my experience with Natasha, I was extremely nervous about getting another tattoo in color. After all, I am African-American and have a medium-dark complexion, and my first tattoo that I got was at Haight and Ashbury Tattoo on a day where I was looking to pull the trigger and get my first one. Let's just say, I'm not sure that my artist had any experience tattooing in color on dark skin. He used a baby pink and completely blew it out! Anyhow, I came in after reading fabulous reviews about this shop and showed her a picture of a woven tapestry of a lotus. I wanted it with very minimal, faint line work, and bold and blended colors on my side.She assured me that she would be able to bring the tapestry to life on my skin, and used a bold red, bright orange, yellow and my skin to make it look like the sun was hitting the flower. After one 3 1/2 hour session and another 1 1/2 hour session two weeks later, I came out with the most beautiful floating lotus tattoo I've ever seen. All thanks to her amazing artistry. Not only was that worth five stars, but the experience was amazing as well! She is such a positive and energetic person and had these lollipops to suck on that really helped keep my energy up and my tolerance high.  Bryn is also absolutely hilarious! On a later date, Natasha attempted to fix my aforementioned botched tattoo, and did a wonderful job. I may get it covered up anyway, though considering the need for an extensive touch up now and the lines being quite blown out by the first artist. It is just - doomed. But I have to say, she attempted to cover it the first time, and I was hesitant to let it go! Turns out she was right!My friends tattoo with Bryn went so smoothly, one fluid session and great conversation.I plan to make an appointment in a couple of months with Natasha again, even though I live in Los Angeles now! This is the best tattoo shop ever! Read Less

I had Dustin do my tattoo. I had to go four times total over the span of about two months, I got 25% complete, healed for two weeks, 50% and so on... I printed out the image from the DOOM PC video game. He took a horizontal wallpaper from the game and turned it into a vertical arm tattoo. (I'll attach the image). Make sure you eat hella food before you get a tattoo, otherwise you gonna get hungry man! Read Less

I adore this place. I followed Dustin here from his previous spot, and am always very appreciative for his flexibility in scheduling. He was able to see me on short notice, and, as always, he knocked it out of the park! I also got to meet the shop owner, Natasha, and she was such a pleasure to chat with. The atmosphere at Sugarfoot is very welcoming, they are all great people, and I look forward to coming back here for more work! Read Less

This review is for Dustin.I was recommended this salon by a guy I know. I went in on a random Saturday and made an appointment for a touch up and a new tattoo. We set a date and then came in.The appointment itself was great. Easy, quick and semi painless ( although it is a tattoo after all) I was really happy with the touch up but left a little weary and unsure due to my own design changes about my memorial tattoo for my grandmas passing. 3 days later I contacted him and he said that he was more than happy to help me fix what I wanted fixed and even assured me it was able to be done. Now a week later after the touch up I am not only thankful for his willingness to help but his sincerity with the matter. I am totally looking forward to going back for another tattoo! Read Less

Natasha is an amazing artist I'm def coming back to get another tattoo done by her. Very friendly and talented. Check out her portfolio. She is booked most of the time so I was lucky. Can't wait to book my next one with her. Read Less

Got a lot of great tattoos here. Turns out they're permanent, so it's a good thing all the stuff this shop does looks great!I've gotten some stuff from Bryn and Natasha. Both of whom are consummate professionals. Consummate means "rowdy and/or funky" right? Read Less
