Skilled artist Attentive to customer's needs Clean and COVID-cautious environment Great communication skills Budget-friendly

I got my tattoo done with Natasha Tsozik after admiring some of her work on instagram/ her blog. I had such a great experience from start to finish and can’t recommend her enough. I had some pretty abstract ideas for what I wanted my tattoo to look like, what meanings I wanted to make sure to include in the design, etc. We met over zoom to discuss, then Natasha created the most beautiful floral armband for me, sent me the initial sketch via email, and listened to all my feedback before sending me the final design. I also told her my max budget, and she made sure to keep the design doable given the amount of time it would take.

The tattoo parlor itself was extremely clean and COVID- cautious. Natasha was friendly and warm, instantly put me at ease, and so lovely to chat to. I had a last minute change that I wanted to make after she started tattooing me and felt nervous to bring it up. She was so sweet, said it was no problem, reassured me that speaking up was good, and easily adjusted things.

I’m so so teary-eyes happy with how my tattoo turned out and will definitely be returning to get a tattoo done by Natasha. She’s such a talented artist, listened so carefully to all my ideas, and created something more beautiful than I could have even imagined :)

Beautiful Location Clean COVID Safety Great Artist Accommodating Gentle Considerate

Beautiful location; clean, well kept, bursting with personality like the people who run it! Lots of art and beautiful pieces on the wall. Bathroom is spacious and also well kept, not a worry about COVID to be had here. They also check vaccination cards upon starting the tattoo appointment, which is very comforting to those hoping to stay safe.

Natasha was my artist, she was incredibly responsive, thorough, and was happy to accommodate all ideas and requests. Her policies, which I found on the nicely presented website, were clear from the start. She made sure that the final design and placement were absolutely correct, took photos to make sure (the tattoo was on the back of my neck and it was not easy for me to see the stencil), and worked with me to make sure it was perfect. What a great artist, super informative and comfortable to work with! She was very gentle and considerate given the sensitivity of the area that was being tattooed... even more sensitive for me, as the entire right side of my body reacts to any touch to the back of my neck. Kudos to her for being able to work with me on that, and awesome job to everyone here... I am super happy with the product as it is healing and have lots of compliments from my mates. Keep it up! 🐱

Tattoo Artist Recommendation Great Communication Clean Studio Easy Aftercare

I never had a tattoo before but one day I had an occasion to get one. It was pretty emotional for me and I wanted to be sure it was handled correctly so I remembered Natasha Tsozik. I first came across her work at an artist gallery event in the Castro a couple years ago and added her on Instagram and she felt like someone I could entrust with something like this. I reached out and she was awesome. She was very clear about what would happen and how. We had a zoom consult and I made an appointment and a few days before it happened she sent me her sketch and I gave feedback. I arrived the day of the appointment to the studio and it was super nice and clean. Lots of safety procedures - they had me go wash thoroughly and then fill out a detailed questionnaire on an iPad. Natasha explained everything as we went and made sure I was completely satisfied with the size and placement before anything permanent happened. The tattoo itself didn't hurt at all. It was small but I always imagined it would hurt some. The aftercare was easy and everything was perfect. It feels like this tattoo is a natural part of me. I highly recommend Natasha and her studio, I couldn't be more pleased.

Talented Artist Clean Details Great Experience

Natasha Tsozik was such a wonderful artist to work with. Her interpretation of what I wanted was amazing and allows some room for growth in the future. This is also the best healed tattoo I have ever received which I think speaks to her talent. The tiny details are so clean! Can't wait to work with her in the future.

Memorial Tattoo Incredible Artist Kind Person

I recently got a tattoo with Natasha Tsozik and it was such a wonderful experience. It was a memorial tattoo and she was so kind and helped me to define the vague idea that I had. She listened to all of my feedback and the end result was absolutely perfect. She’s an incredible artist and a very kind person.

Talented Artist Clean Environment Highly Recommended

I’m so happy with my experience at the old crow tattoo shop! I’ve completed 2 projects there with the very talented Polina. She’s an amazing artist who helped create 2 pieces I’m extremely happy to have forever! She made my experience so comfortable and I really appreciate the clean and sanitary environment the shop provides. I would highly recommend working with Polina and the old crow tattoo shop, I’m so happy I did 😊

Amazing Tattoo Artist Great Experience Friendly and Informative

I found Old Crow through Instagram and very quickly fell in love with the style of Natasha Tsozik. This was my first tattoo but having tattoos is something I've wanted for a long time. She is amazing, kind, and walked me through everything down to the detail so I was well-informed. She tattoos like a gentle dove and I will absolutely be having more art done by her. Thanks Natasha Tsozik!

Poor Customer Service Unprofessional Behavior Appointment Issues

It's hard to know if my issues are with the tattoo shop directly, or Laura Taylor, the tattoo artist. Either way, my experience has been awful. I had a consult in Oct 2021, paid a deposit and scheduled 3 appointments in March, April and May. My first appointment had the location and time change on me three times and ended up being at a different shop. Then Old Crow reached out to me to let me know there's been a scheduling error and they cannot take me on my scheduled dates. For a month and a half I have been emailing them over and over trying to get my appointment rescheduled. Half the time my emails are ignored and I have to keep following up. They've overscheduled themselves so much that they cannot fit me in until October 2022, but will not actually schedule that far out in advance. Finally after a month and a half of getting nowhere I got so frustrated I asked for my deposit back. Two people, one of whom was the tattoo artist herself, agreed to give me the deposit back after lecturing me about how disappointed they are that I'm making this decision, without any acknowledgement of my frustration or their failure. Several days later I get another note that says "we regret to inform you we will not give you your deposit back because you signed a paper stating deposits are non-refundable". I paid my deposit in good faith that the shop and the artist would uphold their end of the contract. I do not recommend working with Laura, unless you add something to the contract that binds her to keeping appointments with you. The entire situation is extremely unprofessional and such a let down after the great tattoo experiences I've had elsewhere and with other artists.
