Jeff Shea is a True Artist. He takes his time with every project that he takes on. I am EXTREMELY cautious when it comes to doing anything permanent to my body. After meeting with him on multiple occasions prior to today’s session; I felt comfortable letting Jeff use his expert eye to just freehand my arm. My original Design was my own from 2009. The utmost professionalism exuded at all times. Thank you tenfold!!Read Less

I went in yesterday for my first tattoo. They were nice and there wasn't any hassle. I only had a little tattoo but even so, they were able to see me right away and had me out of there in 30 minutes. Zero complaints about any part of the process, the pricing, or the artists. Thanks! Read Less

I took over a year reviewing and evaluating Metro Detroit's best tattoo artist's because I knew the tattoo's that were to become part of me were going to be there forever, and they were very detailed. The artist had to be the very best. After my research and evaluation of hundred's of artist's and their work I choose Jeff Shea @ WHOLESHOT TATTOO on Coolidge in Berkeley. Jeff Shea has the resume of client's that include sports figures, top entertainers,  their band members and long time customers. His work is simply, well as one customer put it as he look at my new tat  that's "bitch'n". Jeff's style, flare and clarity are " over the top". Jeff has the ability to transfer your idea and your images of what you want in a perfect tattoo. If you are looking for the "Very Best" bring your idea's to Jeff an artist with the history, a track record and a great personality. You won't be disappointed. Read Less

Zach Hewitt did a coverup of my first tattoo which I'd had done when I much younger, a tattoo that I disliked a lot. We first consulted over email, then he emailed me a drawing exactly when he said he would do it, then I went in for a personal consult so I could meet him and get an estimate. I saw him for the initial tattoo process a week or two later, and he did the line work. Zach's line work is perfect, he's meticulous. I returned for the shading and I'm very happy with his work. He's a patient person, he's super chill, and he knows his shit. Check out his work on Wholeshot's website, and if you dig what he's done, go see him. I can't recommend him or this shop highly enough.

I have been here for four sessions on a half sleeve with Jeff McMullen (Jr) and i really like the place. Jeff listened to what I wanted regarding the actual design. He then put it to paper, and it was exactly what I was thinking. He is now four sessions in to the tattoo and basically done. There may be a touch up session in the future, as the tattoo was pretty intricate. He is reasonably priced and his work is really good. All the artists seem extremely nice, and I'm particularly happy with Jeff Jr. I'd highly recommend going here if you're contemplating your first or next tattoo. Read Less

Wholeshot is the only place that I would trust to ink my body. Jeff has done dozens of tattoos on me, my friends and family- each one is unique and badass in its own way. The shop provides a clean, laid back atmosphere that is welcoming to all different kinds of peeps. Whether its your first tattoo or your 101st...Wholeshot is the place you want to go! Read Less

So happy with my tattoo from Jeff Shea! He is professional and the shop is clean. His staff was very nice in scheduling my appointment. I learned that Jeff is a pinstriper which really impressed me. His line work is amazing. He drew my tattoo by hand so I have a complete original piece of artwork on my arm.  I highly recommend Wholeshot Tattoo to anyone looking for a clean, professional and artist tattoo artist!

Love the atmosphere!   The inside is decidedly Rock n' Roll / Kustom Kulture and they always play a surprisingly great variety of music.  Wholeshot has an incredible group of talented artists on staff who can create anything you could possibly want.  Sam Wolf has done all of my tattoos and is incredibly accommodating with design work - I love each piece and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
