So this review is based on cause i was recommended here by someone i know. He double booked on me. He walked in with his other client and said he couldn’t take me cause he double booked. I was hella upset it was unprofessional he could of told me that morning he double booked. I think it was TK (instagram tatt2tk1) The only reason i am giving it 2 stars is just cause he is a good tattoo Artist i just wont be going there or my friend and people i told about the shop because of that.

Ok this place is awesome! My husband has gotten pretty much all his free hand style work done by Church and now I am going just to him for tattoos! He’s been doing an amazing job on my horror theme leg! Not too mention I had some unfinished work on my arm from another artist and he banged it out! He’s quick! I love it! The guys are all awesome there and we always just stop in to say hi! If your looking for a great artist stop in! There’s so many artist there someone will do exactly what you want!

I went to this shop tonight to get a tat and Aj helped me out. He drew my tat and made the changes I desired. However, I got cold feet and decided to back out. Aj was completely understanding did not judge me, get mad, or ask for a «fee» for drawing the tat. I was extremely impressed and thankful when he simply told me to come back if I changed my mind.

My wife and I both got our first tattoos here a few weeks ago. Great experience. We’re more than satisfied with the work and the service received. AJ was our tattoo artist. He was innovative and a cool dude to spend a couple hours talking to. His talent along with the other artists I saw doing work that day in the shop was impressive.
My wife & I will both be back to get some more work done.

I never give score of 5 because i believe in room for improvement.
Have to say thank you to my favorite artist Church. He makes the pain feel good.

One word: amazing. Fantastic. Awesome. Okay, that’s more than one word but that’s how much I love my Spaceship by COLIN.
I originally wanted to get a spaceship on my finger to cover something else and he was very honest with me and advised against it. That was cool because it made me appreciate him and the staff at FIVE AND DIME that much more. I ended up deciding I still wanted to get my spaceship and found way better placement for it too!
Colin was awesome, worked up a design that was beyond what I imagined and we worked together on the colors. Traditional, but with bright pops of color to make it unique. I am truly in awe of his talent and will definitely be back for more.
Thanks Colin and the staff @ FIVE AND DIME!

I had my first tattoo done by AJ. I lost my father a month ago and I wanted something to memorialize all of my family together. AJ was patient with drawing out different designs for all of our initials. I showed him letters of my dads penmanship and he was able to duplicate it spot on. I heard about how much pain tattoos can cause so I used a 5% lidocaine cream, covered it with plastic wrap 90 min before, he took it off to clean it and when he started the tattoo I felt absolutely nothing! He told me next time try it without the lidocaine for the experience… lol no thanks AJ. While i was waiting other ladies came in and asked for him as well. I recommend him real chill guy

I had my first tattoo done here by Colin almost two months ago. Now that it’s all healed and looking pretty, I can write a review!
I wanted to get a sunflower tattooed on my upper back and the flower that Colin drew for me was way more than I expected! It already looked good on the stencil; imagine it on the skin and shaded in! He is super detail oriented and patient with all my questions and first time nerves. He eased my nerves, was gentle, and kept checking up on me to see how I was doing. I’ll definitely have him tattoo me some more in the future!
Great atmosphere, great prices, and great artists.

Came here several months ago to get some roses tatted on me. It was a last minute thing and Church still had time to help me. I was really happy with the results so I decided to come back to get something simple. AJ helped me out the second time and I was happy again with my new tattoo. I always get great compliments on both of them.

I was so tired of looking at the old tat on my wrist. Rich hooked me up with a hand drawn design and a badass tat! The color is amazing! I can’t wait to get more ink now!!! Thank you do much Rich you rock!!!

Wandered into this shop one day and ended up with a tattoo. I told them I wanted a sorta-​traditional looking tattoo of some crystals. Not sure who was at the desk but he set me up with Church for the tattoo. Waited for about 30 mins while he drew up something custom on the spot. Took him maybe an hour to do the tattoo — lines are clean and the coloring is nice. The price was fair too.
Would definitely go back for more work.

My boyfriend had heard of this place by his co-​worker (I Believed) and the artist named, Church is pretty dope. My boyfriend has a few gaps in between other work that he had done while ago, so Church did some shading and added skull to it so now my boyfriend arm is more amazing than plain. lol
I would recommend Church to people, especially because his price isn’t extremely high and because he does an amazing work :)

Went in on a Wednesday afternoon to finally get the tattoo I’d had in mind for years. I was greeted by the ever-​ebullient Dee. She was totally welcoming and lovely. I worked with Colin to choose a font and went from there. Colin did an excellent job helping me choose the right size and placement for my tattoo to ensure it’s longevity. I have no complaints about the service and would recommend Five and Dime to anyone trying tot get a tattoo in the 510. A+ guys!
My only complaint is that they don’t accept credit cards, but that would only knock my rating down a half star, Since I don’t have that option, I am sticking with 5 because my experience was excellent!

This place is great. The name is simple amazing. Five & Dime (510) I just came here a week ago, and got a piece done by James. It was my first and I was delighted how he re-​sketch my design.
Everyone thing went according to plan and at a great price! I was extremely happy that they do free touch-​ups which I am definitely going to take advantage of!
Thanks James!
