STOP SCROLLING. If you want the very best black and grey or photo realism tattoos, you found the place. Manny is, by far, the best artist in New Mexico. His work is unbelievable and he has a wall full of plaques to prove it. This is not a job or a hobby, Manny tattoos from his soul and it shows in every piece of art he creates.

Manny has always done amazing work, he’s done pieces on all four of my family members and I am in awe everyday of how gorgeous and amazing the work is. Manny will give each piece his all and he will treat you as family even after you leave. I will always compare all artists to manny and his amazing artwork! He’s really ruined other artists for me.

Called to try to see if I need to come in or make an app for a quote/consultation and the person who answered completely steered me away from coming here she was very rude. Ask what wanted. I tried to explain to her and then she interrupted me mid sentence and said that they were booked and they don't do that type of tattoo I wanted 🙄

This man is gifted. My husband and I both have beautiful artwork from Manny and every experience has been wonderful. The vibe is laid back and relaxed and I have always been treated with respect and courtesy by Manny and his staff. My husband and I both have several more sessions scheduled and will continue to have Manny create our pieces of art. ....Happy 25th anniversary Manny!! Many more years to come!

GREAT STUDIO!!! Cleanest and most honest place to get work done in town. Manny is an incredibly talented artist, I walked in with rough ideas and left with amazing pieces of art on my body.
CONGRATULATIONS ON 25yrs Custom Tattoo Company!!! Keep up the good work!

I chose Custom Tattoo because Manny's portfolio is phenomenal. I'll be a return client because not only has his work far exceeded my expectations, but his shop is amazing on every other level as well. He has an awesome helpful crew, Alyx and Jake, and together they create a extremely fun, comfortable, and professional environment. Manny has the ability and patience to facilitate a creation of artwork that anyone would be proud to wear! I've been tattooed in many other shops around Albuquerque and nothing compares to Manny's work ethic and talent. The vibe of this shop is relaxing and that playlist is on point!!
