I love my tattoo. I took a custom outline drawing of what I wanted and there artist added his own amazing work and it turned out beautiful. It was large and he was very patient. Thank you. I'll be back soon Read Less

My husband and I had gotten matching tattoos from Sean who was working at the FCT in Citrus Heights in 2008. He had done a terrific job and we were very pleased to have found such a great artist with a walk in appointment. Recently I had been looking for a particular style of tattoo at other shops and was having an extremely difficult time getting an appointment in a timely manner with a reliable artist. Then I remembered Sean from many years ago and tracked him down. I called Sean Tuesday at his shop in Sutter Creek and was able to get an appointment the following evening after I got off work. The shop is open until 8 and I felt bad for making an appointment so late but Sean was very accomodating. He actually remembered the tattoo he had done for me 8 years ago! I had a simple design this time but wanted some input from him on the coloring. He had good ideas but was careful to make sure it was what I wanted as well. The tattoo went very smoothly and he was very gentle and made what could have been a very sensitive area (inner bicep) practically painless. His receptionist was very friendly and Richard the piercer was there as well. Richard was thoughtful and put on music he knew I would enjoy. To top it off the tattoo was about half the price I was expecting, so I tipped Sean the rest. He was definitely worth it! I will absolutely be back. It was the most pleasant, easy tattooing experience I have ever had and I am in love with my tattoo. Thanks Sean and Fat Cat Tattoo! Read Less

I have gotten all my tattoos done there. They are amazing people, very friendly. I have never been disappointed. I will not go to another tattoo shop or artist. Thank you Gina for your amazing body Art work. I love all my pieces. Read Less

I have had two piercings here. Nose nd tongue. Richard pierced my tongue nd he told me how it was gonna feel nd where he was gonna place it nd why. He used clean needles, wore gloves, nd was very professional. Afterwards, he let me see it, told me how to keep it clean nd the healing time nd told me what I could nd couldn't eat. In addition to telling me everything I needed to know, he gave me paperwork on how to keep it clean nd such. Price was very reasonable nd time there was socialable. The next piercing, my nose, was done by his apprentice who gave me the option of having her do it or having Richard do it. I had no problem with her doing it, especially if she was being trained by the best. She made a dot on where she was gonna place it nd hit it right on the spot. It healed quicker than most nd I so pleased nd happy. Told me everything I needed to know nd gave me paperwork..I am hoping to get a tattoo here this weekend with a friend, but not sure on the price so I'll be letting ya'll know!! :) I recommend this place, most definitely. :) Read Less

Just got my septum pierced here today. I was so nervous because I've heard horror stories, but the piercer didn't hit any cartilage and it's was minimally painful. Really nice, talented people working here. I've never been tattooed here, but I've seen a few and they're great. Awesome service :-) Read Less

This is a great atmosphere. Richard Green really connects to his clients and makes the whole piercing process  fast and painless. I have yet to get a tattoo, but from what I've heard around, is that it's just as easy as the piercings. =] Read Less

In August of 2013 Gina created & drew up a memorial back piece in remembrance of my dad who passed away in 1993. My mother died 3 days after. The art work is amazing!! She took my general idea (I have NO artistic talent) and did a stunning piece working in all the elements I wanted. She did it in one sitting and at a very reasonable cost. Given how beautifully it turned out, it would have been worth twice the price. And to the guy with the one star. I am NOT an employee, I am a 58 year old woman and I wanted to remember my dad on the anniversary of his passing and Gina by far exceeded my expectations!! Read Less

Shop was clean, and nice.I went in originally to get my tongue pierced, and instead of  just taking my money and putting me in danger, Johnny informed me that my tongue was to short to pierce. That right there let me me know that he wasn't just in it for the money. Hes a great piercer. My 11 year old brother had his ears pierced by Johnny as well as my little sisters ears. I will never go to anyone else as far as piercings go(:Very impressed. Read Less

Sean, the owner, is a true professional and a dedicated artist.  He knows his craft better than almost anyone I've ever seen, and I've got a few tats from different locations.  He takes the time to make sure your custom piece is just as you want it.  He was willing to make a fairly substantial last minute change when I asked him to, and there was no grumbling or anything.  He is really the right guy for this job.  He loves his art and it shows.  I can't really speak to the skill or competence of anyone else at the shop, since he is the only one I've worked with closely, but I can certainly tell you that Sean is top notch.  He works efficiently and methodically, and does so with a steady skillful hand.   His pricing is fair (we had to take a somewhat extended break during my tat and he took that into account when we settled after it was done).  He has a great eye for color and light, and will bring your tattoo idea to life.   I'll be back -- I've already scheduled another session with him next week!  If you're looking for someone to do your tat in the Gold Country, this is THE spot.

I wish I could just keep adding on the stars. First off, this is an amazing, clean, friendly (the list can go on and on) establishment. Sean the owner is great and is very helpful with giving you exactly what you want. About a year ago he did some work on my foot and it came out perfect! I've had so many compliments. Although my piece is fairly small, my honey has gotten all of his larger ones done by Sean and they are amazing. You wouldn't think that they were done years ago. Not too much fading and the lines are very clear. We will now only go to Sean or Gina, the other fabulous artist, for any work done. Oh, and they also just got a great new piercer, Richard the Rockstar. Such an improvement!! : )Thanks guys for giving us such a great place to go. You can't get much better than this! Read Less

First off...let me start off by saying...PLEASE people...PLEASE!  Pay attention to who's stabbing you with a motorized needle...placing a foreign object into your blood stream for hours is serious business...Do your research.  A bad tattoo today will be an even WORSE tattoo 20 years from now.  I know that tats are fun...and being spontaneous is great- but really?  Take your time- look at past work...get referrals!That being said, I went to GEO at FatCat for just some basic script writing...his script is beautiful and elegant- he did a great job.  when I asked him if he could fix another 'script' tattoo that I've had for 14 years he told me that the tattoo was run together too much- and that nothing could really help it.  I got the tat when I was 17 in my girlfriend's bedroom by a homie...:)(I obviously speak from experience when I say to choose wisely)  Instead, I opted to start on some cover-up work.GEO took a pic of my back, we tossed some ideas around and I went home.  I contacted him and gave him other ideas...he came up with a drawing of some flowers.  They looked harmless enough.  When he finished the tat, after all of the shading, it looked realllly pretty.  I liked it just the way it was.  I was in no way ready for the fill-in.  After he colored it in...the flowers are just GORGEOUS....the background is SO realistic.  It is truly, truly art.There are other tattoo artists there that seem to be very good artists, as well.  I've been there 3 times and have seen some amazing work being done.  BF pointed out that most of the phone calls coming in seemed to be for Geo...and since I've let him stick me for hours, I assume it's for a good reason :)  They have a piercer on staff- he's done some sick piercings....the shop is always busy so I assume that people know what's up.  I'll post pics as soon as it's complete!
