I had an excellent experience at Sandbox Tattoo. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. I was referred by a friend and initially inquired in September about a half-sleeve tattoo. After making my deposit, I had a brief consultation in October and was originally scheduled for February 2026. However, the team reached out and offered me an earlier appointment on November 19, which I greatly appreciated. Upon arrival, Sammy had already prepared a tattoo design based on reference picture I sent, that I immediately loved. We were able to begin the session right away. The full session took under seven hours, including a 30-minute lunch break. Sammy is exceptionally skilled, highly professional, and clearly dedicated to his craft. The quality of work exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely pleased with the final result. Overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about Sandbox Tattoo. I would confidently recommend them—and Sammy in particular—to friends, family, and anyone seeking high-quality tattoo work. Thank you for the outstanding experience! @sammycarrizalesink on IG
OK...wow! I'm just a few hours into my appointment, we stopped for a stretch and lunch, and all I can say is wow. Cesar is absolutely incredible. From our consult and design to sitting for hours, the experience has been amazing. He's such a joy to be around and and I can't say enough amazing things about him.
I just want to say how much I love sandbox tattoo. They have the most talented artist hands down. I had the privilege to have Erick do my sleeve for me and after 4 tapouts and a 6 hr touchup/finish session its done and I couldn't be happier. It looks amazing! The detail and colors look so good. Can't wait to go back for more. Got to know the staff after all that and everyone is super friendly. Best place around. Thanks again Erick I will be seeing you again for more. I will update with a fully healed photo when healed.
I had an amazing experience with Erick. He is not only a talented tattoo artist but also incredibly responsible and patient. Even though we speak different languages, communication was never a barrier — we easily understood each other and developed the concept together. During the process, we both shared new and better ideas that made the final design even more impressive. Erick worked on my piece for a full 10 hours, showing great dedication and attention to detail from start to finish. The result is absolutely stunning — a true masterpiece. I also want to mention that the whole team at the shop is professional and welcoming. I’m extremely satisfied with the result and will definitely come back one day to finish my entire sleeve. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality and passion in tattoo art!
Came in for two fine line tattoos and had an amazing experience. Both pieces were done by Vova, who is incredibly talented, patient, and precise. You can tell he truly cares about his craft—he paid so much attention to detail and brought our ideas to life beautifully. The studio itself is a whole vibe. It feels multicultural and full of passionate artists, with artwork hanging all over the walls that adds to the creative, expressive energy of the space. The music and atmosphere were on point, making the whole experience even better. Customer service was also top-notch. The person at the reception was kind, helpful, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. They provided clear tattoo care instructions and made everything feel smooth and easy. While the space felt mostly male-dominated (we only saw one woman tattooing line work), everyone was super respectful and chill, and the environment felt inclusive and open-minded. Highly recommend🎨🔥
