I gave a $60  cash deposit for a tattoo. The artist gave me a card and told me to get some photos together and contact him when i was ready. Its been a few months. I contacted the tattoo artist and got no response. Guess i wont be getting my money back or any tattoos at true art. Read Less

I just got a tattoo from Bob at True Art. I showed him what I wanted and he nailed it! I felt very comfortable around him and appreciated all the precautions he took to avoid any problems. I would highly recommend True Art for anyone who wants expert tattooing in a clean, safe environment. Read Less

Disappointing shop with flaky employees. Never got my deposit back, even though I was told I could get it back. Lost 60$... for nothing. Didn't even get the work done. There are much better shops in Santa Cruz, don't settle for this one. Read Less

Great atmosphere! Super clean shop. The guys are super nice and courteous. My self and my husband have been traveling up over the last couple of years from Atascadero to get work done by Bobby. He always comes up with great drawings and does some really nice work. Super clean lines and just straight up superior art work. You can tell that he really cares about the quality of his tattoo work and is constantly striving for improvement as any good artist should. If you get a chance and you are in the Santa Cruz area looking for some good tattoo work you should pop in and see these guys. You won't be disappointed! Read Less

Bob Magnante is an artistic genius. He has done almost all of my tattoos and never failed to leave me ecstatic about the finished product. He is communicative, laid back, and professional. I am so happy I started going to him years ago! The shop itself is always clean and tidy and you can tell Bob and his staff take great pride in their craft. I can't recommend this place enough and refuse to get any work done elsewhere. Read Less

I thought I wanted a very small, simple tattoo...that was a year ago. Throughout that year, it grew in size AND I wanted more details to it. I'm sure glad I waited, because I'm totally thrilled with it now!!! I have the pleasure of knowing Bobby Magnante within my community and he's a great guy. I also get to see, and really started to admire, his art. So, when I finally decided to get the work done, I was confident he was where I needed to go. I was not let down. He asked what I wanted. I him a general idea of what I was thinking. He truly listened. And, I love what he did with it. I couldn't be happier! Thanks Bobby! Read Less

I loved the piece bobby did on my ankle. I thought it was gonna be a painful and difficult piece to sit through but bobby talked to me through the whole thing so that I would stay distracted. Definitely would come to him again Read Less

I was a walk in and Felix was super welcoming! Did my outline about 13 times, to make sure it was just how I wanted it. Gave advice on colouring, and shading to get the most out of the tattoo. Stunning work and could not be happier. Read Less

I live in Europe and I've been wanting to get a tattoo for years, but didn't find the right time, place or tattoo artist, until I arrived at True Art Tattoo in Santa Cruz and found Chris Cupit. He took the time to understand what I wanted and to make sure it was the right tattoo for me - size, color etc. The result is exactly what I hoped for and more, and I'd like to say a big 'thank you' to Chris. He is really awesome! Read Less
