Lokote Tattoos - Tattoo Shop, Piercing Studio, Local Tattoo Shop in Santa Fe, NM

Excellent service and responses to text communication! Clean and comfortable environment. He was able to fit four sisters into one appointment and made us feel very comfortable. Thanks Chris!

Best place for a tattoo and piercing! Very clean! Very professional, great customer service, shop was so beautiful and
Comfortable. Will always go back for more work.

This shop has me as a customer for as long as I’m able to get tatted. Great work, and cool as ice. This guy deserves the recognition! 💪🏼

Chris is the best tat artist. Many of my tats are from him & I will always come back because he is a gentlemen and professional.

Chris was great! Came in from out of town and he was able to fit myself and three other individuals the next day. He did exactly what we asked for and was quick and had excellent customer service! I'll definitely use Chris next time I'm in town!

After having the WORST experience at Dungeon tattoos, Lokote turned our day around. Chris was our artist and he was super friendly, professional and to the point. My wife and I were treated so poorly at the previous shop and he was able to make a negative experience a positive one. Our tattoos turned out exactly the way we wanted and it definitely made our trip to NM that much more special. If you’re in the Santa Fe area definitely stop by the shop!

The owner Chris worked with my timeframe, met me promptly. He’s professional, and his time is obviously valuable.
I called and left a message, he called me back (many others did not call me back) within ten minutes and I was seen promptly. Not that everyone should expect such service every time, but my experience was perfection.

I brought my daughter and niece (who I am guardian of) in to get a nostril and septum piercing. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient with us. Nice little shop and very clean. I would for sure go back for any future piercings. I felt the price was fair for a knowledgeable piercer and clean environment.

I had an appointment for a piercing that he never showed up for. I should have known, since it took an email, text message and 3 phone calls just to get on the "schedule". I guess my money wasn't green enough. Luckily I was able to find a same day walk in with a professional shop that takes pride in their services to their clients, since Lokote obviously didn't. I would have given zero stars if it was an option. PLUS my review keeps getting deleted. Seems very shady to me

This place is hands down the best in Santa Fe! Maybe even in New Mexico. I called, literally, every shop in town desperately needing to be seen as a walk in. I absolutely had to get my work done that day. When i called it was already around 5pm. Chris answered the phone and his customer service was excellent. He told me to come by right away so he could see what i wanted. When i got there and showed him he was VERY helpful with suggestions for my tattoo which i really appreciated. He then told me his schedule for the rest of the night, which was full, but assured me that I'd get my work done that night and if i called back at 7 he'd know better by then when i should go in. When i called he told me to go right then! Awesome!! When i got there i met Ray. He got me back within 10 mins tops and gave a consultation that showed he really cared about my tattoo, genuinely. He had great ideas. I loved it! He got to work right away and was finished in I'd say 30 mins or so. I was so comfortable i was falling asleep and this tattoo happens to be located on my ribs. It was painless. I would highly recommend getting all your work done at Lokote Tattoos. Although Ray is the only artist I've had the pleasure of working with I'm confident that all the artists are very talented. I will most definitely be returning for my future tattoos. THANK YOU SO MUCH LOKOTE TATTOOS. Best tattoo experience I've ever had.
