Been coming here a long while now and I've never had a bad experience. From back in the day when they were in Inman Sq, to the new spot.
Bob does such a great job and he's just a cool dude. If you're coming in for a tattoo you'll probably be spending some time together, so it's nice to have good company. And his artwork is top notch.
He also covered up a botch job from another, less than good, studio in the area for my wife. I was stunned. I didn't know cover ups could be that good.
I also got a piece by Simon that he absolutely nailed. It was kind of weird though as when I requested my appointment I uploaded inspiration photos and wrote a description of what I wanted. I don't think he read the description and just pasted the inspiration photos next to each other and was just going to put THAT on me. So a little awkwardness, but we got it sorted out. What he ended up coming up with was amazing though.

Excellent group of people. Very professional. All the artists seem awesome, super nice and easy to talk with. My artist Simon, was awesome. From the very beginning he made me feel comfortable, he crushed my tattoo. Simply amazing!!! The outcome far exceeded by expectation. If You are thinking of getting some ink, look at these guys, especially Simon. He's a true professional, and a fantastic artist.

I went in to get my fourth tattoo (first with Pino Bros), and this was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had with an artist or shop. I saw Dave who wasn’t only incredibly talented, but was also the easiest artist to talk to. I’m not the most outgoing, but he made the entire experience incredible.
As for the tattoo itself, I couldn’t be happier. Dave asked all the right questions to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The design is a wrap around and not the simplest to line up, but he spent hours making sure it was perfect. And that time was well worth it. He was meticulous in his approach and treated the tattoo as artwork rather than a job. Once he was able to get the stencil lined up, he was so proud of the design he couldn’t help but show it off. That made me feel like I chose the perfect artist. I recommended him to a friend before a needle even touched my skin.
He was very efficient with the tattoo itself. The lines were clean and sharp, and I couldn’t be more impressed. I had an incredible experience and can’t imagine going back to anyone else. I waited about two and a half months because I wanted to show the healed artwork. The lines are still clean, sharp, and exactly what I wanted. I can’t wait to go back and start filling it in!
The store was very clean. Every other staff member was kind and professional. Everyone there was passionate about tattoos and genuinely seemed to love their jobs. I highly recommend Pino Bros and would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Simon is insanely talented! The very best.
I’ve been getting tattooed by him at Pino Bros Ink over the last 2.5 years. He’s always professional, attentive, warm & considerate throughout the entire process.
The studio has a great atmosphere. They’re easy to communicate with & I’ve never had to wait around.
Simon’s work is crisp, clean, detailed & he has a truly gentle touch that makes it easy to sit comfortably through sessions with minimal pain. I appreciate how he is genuinely open to design ideas, takes an appropriate amount of time to listen & puts a lot of thought & care into creating exceptional artwork. His fine line & realism work are my favorite. My newest one from a couple of days ago is an exquisite fine line botanical piece that I’ve already had so many compliments on!!
Thank you SO much for yet another beautiful piece of art that I am proud to wear!

Excellent artists and great people. A few years ago me and my 60+ year old Father went to get inked together. This was my 5th tattoo and my Dad's 1st ever. The skill of these guys can not be overrated. My Father was cleared by the doctor even though he was on blood thinners which could have made getting inked impossible. Not for these guys. Not only did they they pull off my Dad's ink, there was no blotting or running of the ink. My ink came out great as well. I could not have been happier & a Father and Son got to enjoy a special moment thanks to them!
Happy Travels!
