My best friend and I were in Santa Fe for the weekend and decided to gest our "bestie" tattoos while here. We went to Chris at Lokote Tattoos and we are SO glad we did! What a wonderful tattoo artist and all-around great guy! He has all of the designing bells and whistles and was able to take our crazy ideas and turn them into reality. He was very accommodating to all of our last-second adjustments and our tattoos came out beautifully! Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Chris and Lokote Tattoos! Read Less

Chris at Lokote is so professional, his shop is immaculately clean, and he is truly, deeply talented! He helped my best friend and me realize our bestie tattoos this morning and we couldn’t be happier with them! He also touched up/enhanced/added to two of my husband’s existing tattoos from other artists and they look amazing now! We are Santa Fe on vacation from other parts of the country but next time we are back we will definitely book another tattoo appointment with Chris! He is absolutely fantastic! Read Less

Dude! Where to start! Friendly environment, professional setup, and an excellent artist. I just got a tattoo done today and it was the best tattoo experience I have had. I would recommend this to any first timer or tattoo enthusiast due to the personality of Chris. Read Less

I was very pleased with my tattoo Chris did. Very professional and clean. It was my first one and he made the experience worth it. If ever in the area again (from SC) I will get another one done by him. Read Less

Lokote was a great guy to get some ink from. First time in Santa Fe and I didn't know who to go to and it can be a little intimidating to get ink in a new town. Super happy I went to Lokote. Felt really comfortable in his shop and it was nice to have just the 1 on 1 interaction to really get a design nailed down. There is a reason this guy has a 5 star rating....he deserves it.

I found Chris by chance!! Thank God for That! After my children's father shot himself, my son and daughter both started cutting themselves. I made a deal with them that they can both get a tattoo like they wanTed in memory of their daddy. But they both had to stop cutting. I was driving in Santa Fe well talking bout this to my son and literally came up on Chris's old shop!! I will ALWAY'S trust Chris with my children! He is an AMAZING ARTIST! ! His work comes from a deep place HIS HEART! I truly believe this man is a blessing not just to me but to my children. He has influenced my kids to do good and to love themselves!!Read Less

Let me just say this is by far the best artist in the Santa Fe area. If you're looking for piercings, great work for great prices , definitely check this guy out. Very patient, precise, and takes his work very serious and gives his customers exactly what they wanted. If you're visiting or a local, definitely check this guy out whenever you're looking to start your next piece! Thanks again man! Read Less

Love his work. I get so many complements on my tattoo. People say its so beautiful wonderful detail and when i tell them its almost 3 yrs old with no touch ups EVER and they ask who did it n i say Lokote and they are shocked they say they have seen other pieces by him. N they say he did it wow i didnt know he could do this type of work either. Chris is the jack of all trades. Take ur idea explain what ur wanting if u dont love it or think it missing something tell him he just might suprise you with that "missing" detail. Read Less

Best tattoo artist in NM I would recommend him to anyone. His line work is perfect and on point. He is amazing at shading and has an eye for detail. This artist will never let you leave his shop with a bad tattoo. Great person and artist. Read Less

I wasn't impressed with the work that Lokote did on me.... shading faded and color was not filled in right. I had to find another local artist to fix his work. Very sad and very disappointed in this place. Read Less

I follow this artist very closely and he has such great talent! I love that he has his own style. Every piece he does is beautiful and truly his own. Very professional, friendly, & of course does awesome work! May God bless you Chris and may you continue to succeed in all you do!✌ Read Less

There is no other place I would go! Chris does the best work all around! I love all my tattoos and piercings from him. He does the best job fixing tattoos and covering up other tattoos. His prices are way better than any other place! He is honestly the only person I trust to do my work! Read Less
