I'm so glad I got recommended to this tattoo shop. Noe, is so clean and pristine and thats just his work area. He's art work is amazing, you can tell thats he's not new to this his true to this. He finish real quick with no mistakes. He has found a new canvas in me; there will be no hesitation in recommending him to others. Great job

went in late one night , out of spontaneity and I wanted a tattoo I had in mind but I still wasn't sure about the size or style I just knew I wanted a rose on my calf. the guy there Nate, was so helpful and friendly, he sketched out a rose and it was perfect. Very attentive and nice to customers, and very sanitary environment. Out of all my tattoos the one I got here had the cleanest crisp line work and its still bold black. definitely coming back!

Contra Tattoo is one of my favorite shops that I've ever had the fortune of walking into. My one and only artist is Andrew Thaxter. Andrew has the most original work and a very unique style to his art that I have ever seen. I'm constantly being asked where I've gotten my work done, and I'm always happy and excited to share his name and my experiences. He doesn't have a heavy hand, his lines are clean, colors are extremely vibrant and his work is one of a kind. You definitely get what you pay for with Andrew. He's always extremely understanding if you need to take a break and is super personable. Because of the way that Andrew has treated me, and the work-ethic that he displays... he has me completely sold on his work. Andrew is an artist that is completely worth the wait when there is one.. and I won't go to anyone else.

To refer to Noe Lopez as an amazing artist is quite the understatement. His capability to understand detail and use of color is beyond exquisite. After my first tattoo, 7 years ago, I knew I found the right artist. I also knew, if I wanted anything else in the future, there wouldn't be anyone who could compliment Noe's prestige signature style. His work is not something you can compare to anything else but if one should, then compare every piece he's previously created to his work today and what's yet to come. His skill to replicate a photo or free hand has no difference and is nothing short of amazing. His consistency in his craft is what defines Noe Lopez as a well respected and true Artist. So far I have gotten 3 tattoos all from Noe Lopez, the 1st like i said earlier 7 years ago, 2nd was Dec. 2013, and the most recently Oct 2014. The shop is extremely clean and gives off a great atmosphere for tattooing. Highly recommend going here.

I was looking for a local artist/shop when a good friend recommended Noe and his shop, Contra Tattoo. Since all of Noe's work on my buddy was sic, I headed down there for a traditional tattoo from Josh (Choncho). Safe to say I liked his work, I was back two weeks later, getting more work done. Super clean shop, even cleaner lines and chill laid back artists make this the best shop in Fresno. I really recommended at least stopping by and talking with an artist, they will hook up a great tattoo. I can't wait for Josh to finish off my arm, he has a style all his own!
