Merced Tattoo and Piercing Co.

Had my first Tattoo with Robert and it was WAY better than I expected. I had heard many warning of how much it was going to hurt, but it was such a great experience. I’m a cry baby but I didn’t even tear up! Loved it! Definitely going to go back for bigger pieces.

The atmosphere was great too! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely my favorite tattoo place! Robert (Bo) has done all of mine. I've always been happy with how they come out. I bring in my ideas or I've let him come up with his own such as him adding his own spin on my half sleeve. I go out of my way to show off my tattoos and I can't wait to go back and get more! Highly recommend them

I got a realistic wolf head with realistic roses tattooed by Robert a couple years ago. I walked into his old shop, not knowing anything but that I wanted a wolf. He said that he would draw something up for me. I came in about a week later and he had this beautiful tattoo drew up for me. I demanded we do it all in one session, even though he said I needed to do it in two. (Listen to him when he makes suggestions, lol.) 3 years later, my tattoo still looks amazing. It hasn't faded, it hasn't bled any. His line work is amazing, his work is amazing, everything about it is amazing. I definitely recommend coming to him for a tattoo. To this day, this is my favorite tattoo and the only one that I haven't regretted at least once. Also, he was very nice and professional but not stuck up during the process. I'm a talker during tattoos and he never once seemed annoyed. He answered any questions I had, before, during and after. I would give more then 5 stars if I could.

My cousin got her first piercing here. And once she should me she told me that they didn’t inform her about of types of earrings of sizes they have there to offer. And I had to explain everything to her. And I think that’s unfair to her. She went for a service and i feel they could explain what they offer to her.

I was wondering if you have any artists who can do watercolor style tattoos? I have a watercolor piece on my back that I got done elsewhere that I’d like to be touched up as it’s faded a lot considering it’s been less than two years since I got it. I’m also planning on getting my next tattoos in watercolor style but I haven’t been able to figure out if theirs any artists familiar with the style around the area.

I have been to 3 of the artists at this shop, for both piercings and tattoos, and none of them disappointed me. Thor has done 6 piercings for me, and has been extremely helpful with any issues. Juno fixed a tattoo of mine that got botched by another shop, and now it's my pride and joy. Steph has given me a very simple but pretty tattoo, and she even did a free touch-up for some lines that didn't quite take. All around great people.

I had my forearm tattoo done by Robert (Bo) and he did an awesome job! Solid lines, always getting compliments on his art!! I would highly recommend him to anyone. I have my next appointment with him this month and highly looking forward to it!

If I had to rate a tattoo shop like a fine Friday night beverage... This would be top shelf all the way! The absolute finest in ink slinging! World class artists ... Giving World Class experiences... I'd recommend them to anyone in the valley... awesomeness personified!

This shop is the real deal. Robert's work is amazing and he takes the time to understand what you want. I will not go to anyone else after working with Robert. His lines are crisp and clean ,I've had so many compliments on the work he has done. Merced Tattoo and piercing should be your only stop if you are looking for Tattoos or Piercings!

Tattoo artist @robert_tattooer has done both of my tattoos! When he did my very first one, he made sure I was super relaxed and kept asking if I was fine! That being why I had to come back for my second!! I love both of them so much and couldn’t ask for anything more. He took my idea and made it better. I definitely plan on coming back soon for my third.
