Cleopatra INK Tattoo & Piercing San Francisco Studio

I had the most incredible experience at Cleopatra tattoo shop just a couple days ago. The staff was kind, patient and they help me come up with the tattoos that I truly wanted regardless of the fact that I changed my mind a couple times. The young woman that did my tattoos (I forgot her name) was as kind and gentle in spirit as she was with the tattoo gun. The end result was beautiful and painless. I absolutely would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a clean, classy, comfortable environment to get their work done. I will be going here in the future

Cleopatra Inc. – A Stunning, Pain‑Free First Tattoo Experience I visited Cleopatra Inc. today for my 46th birthday, and I can confidently say this place deserves every bit of a five‑star rating. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was immaculate — a gorgeous gold and black aesthetic that feels luxurious, modern, and perfectly themed. I even matched the vibe without planning it, which made the whole experience feel even more special. I came with my daughter, and we were both immediately welcomed with warmth and good energy. The shop has this unique blend of American and Turkish influence, wrapped in an Egyptian‑Cleopatra style that makes the whole environment feel elevated and artistic. My tattoo artist, OKON (Instagram: @okonsaridagar), was incredible. His presence is calm, welcoming, and professional. He made my first tattoo experience practically pain‑free — I was honestly shocked at how quick and smooth the process was. He listened to what I wanted, offered thoughtful guidance, and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. One thing I really loved was their lounge area, where you can sit and preview the design of your tattoo. They show you different variations depending on your budget, and you can add or remove elements from the artwork. It made the whole process feel personalized and intentional. The shop itself is spotless, the music is great, and the location is perfect — right near Pier 39, surrounded by fun shops, restaurants, and places to explore before or after your appointment. It turned my tattoo session into a full birthday outing. Overall, Cleopatra Inc. is clean, stylish, welcoming, and full of talented artists. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo — especially if it’s your first — this is absolutely the place to go.

Michael is very Hospitable and personable. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The shop is clean and safety and sanitation practices were followed, which is improved in a shop! As someone who’s worked in the industry, I felt good supporting this business and knew I was in good hands. I bought some new jewelry and my girl got new jewelry and an install. Easy peezy and easy going.

My boyfriend and I got matching tattoos here today, and we had a great experience. The artist was very patient, listened to exactly what we wanted, and made sure our tattoos turned out just the way we envisioned. The process was quick, professional, and efficient, while still making us feel comfortable the entire time. We’re so happy with how our birth year tattoos came out and would definitely recommend this shop to others. We look forward to coming back in the future! ☺️

Was the day before I was leaving and I was just walking around and came across them. They had some flash which is what I chose. Shop minimum is $150. I didn't have to wait long. Everyone in the shop was very welcoming and accommodating. My artist, Remzi was fantastic. Had a very light touch. Didn't try to force this introvert to talk 😄.
