Chris is very nice and down to earth, professional and quick! Amazing work for a good price. He plays great music while you're getting your art done as well! I would definitely go see him again.

Chris is as experienced as it gets. Always great results whether it’s a cover up, a one of a kind pattern or a common straight out of the book piece of art, he adds his own touch to make it pop and make you fall in love with it! I’ve never been disappointed and I have had hours of work done by him. I highly recommend Lokote Tattoos! Read Less

He’s the BEST tattoo artist in Santa Fe, I definitely recommend anyone who’s looking to get amazing beautiful art. He’s a true artist, he treats you like you’re family, and makes sure you’re 110% satisfied with your beautiful work of art. Your body is his canvas and he treats it like his own. He’s a universal artist. Anything you want he can do to the absolute T! Highly recommended I never give 5 stars but this guy truly deserves all the credit in the world for how great his artwork is!

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

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
