From the front door to the bathrooms and every thing in between, VERY clean shop. Its also very evident by the layout they arent just trying to cram a bunch of artists in there to make more money. Very comfortable, cozy, spacious and inviting. The people are even better. Tattoo artists tend to have a stigma of being rude and this place totally breaks the mold. My girlfriend and I called and asked to be tattooed the same day, and even with a last minute request they not only accommodated us, but stayed after hours to finish up. We never felt any pressure or rushing and the artists were very tedious with us in finalizing every detail of the design. Loco made sure to check in with us before, during, and after to make sure we were happy, while Teddy and Mark worked their magic. They both had very steady hands and very precise application. Teddy was patient with me as my pain tolerance isnt the greatest and the ribs are a tender spot, but he also made sure the design was 100% completed and accurate. Although my girlfriends design was relatively basic, Mark took gratuitous amounts of time to make sure her tattoo was exactly to her specifications and liking, even redrawing it a few times. LOTS of attention to detail, not to mention great prices. Extremely competitive pricing for a very high caliber of work. I have multiple tattoos already but these guys gave me a lot of information on post-tattoo care that other tattoo shops didnt. They also gave us a care package with soaps and lotions as well as specific instructions both written and explained to us by our artists. They also made sure to emphasize multiple times that ANY issues we had with the tattoos were covered for life with free touch ups. Nothing like peace of mind. Overall, I have a new shop. Both my previous artists have left the area and I was worried about finding a new shop, but Im absolutely positive I will be doing and referring all my future business to Dharma!! Thanks guys!!!

I cant say enough good things about Loco and Dharma Tattoo Studio. Id heard of Loco through word of mouth and had seen some of his work out in the wild. I stopped by in person for a quick consult and to set an appointment. I spoke to "Cuz" and Locos wife and explained my idea to both of them, and briefly talked with Loco while he was in the middle of working on someone. Everyone was REALLY friendly. I was lucky enough to get an appointment quickly as he had a last-minute cancellation. I arrived a few minutes early on my appointment day to find Loco already at his computer working on my design. He had researched images associated with the book that was the inspiration for my tattoo and already had a bunch of ideas. He and I talked it over, and within 15 minutes, he had used my basic concepts to flesh out an awesome and creative tattoo design that I was really excited about. I was impressed! Once the design was done, I waited for Loco to handle a few things. He was very communicative, and let me know when he was going to have a quick bite to eat, go for a smoke, set up his station, work on the stencil, etc. He never left me waiting and wondering when Id be taken care of, and he handled his business quickly so we could get started on my tattoo. As someone whos been tattooed by seven different people, I can tell you that I really enjoyed Locos tattooing style. He was quick, precise, efficient, and gentle. And of course, the piece turned out AMAZING!!! I find that tattoo artists, while talented, can often be divas with crappy people skills. Of course their long-lasting artwork is most important and its sometimes worth it to put up with personalities, but for me it was really refreshing to work with a friendly and personable artist and tattoo shop staff. Loco is ultra-talented and I will definitely be going back to him for more work in the future.

QUALITY & PROFESSIONALISM... the first 2 things that come to my mind upon entering this tattoo studio.. From the door all the way to the customer service counter it is clean and covered in flash art, or impressive paintings and art pieces done by the artists who work there. Loco, the owner is a warm, intelligent, hilarious person who breaks the ice easily for a first timer, or someone who s a veteran of the ink process. He is very tranquil, an honest business man, and an overall hard working individual. Very unorthodox of a tattoo guy to be warm and inviting, when the stereotype of tattoo artist are they are rough, mean, and don t care. The environment of the place is professional, with ease of access to hundreds of flash art, several books containing past and recent work done by the artists who work there, as well as soda machines and a seating area to kick back if you re waiting. The work done at dharma s is highly addictive.. in aspect that you will only want to have your work done by these guys once you get your first ink by any of them. Its clearly all about putting out work with PRIDE and SUPERIOR QUALITY! The work is clean, the lines crisp! the colors rich and vibrant! Everything is opened new and out of the sealed packing infront of you. There s no uneasy feelings of being rushed to just get you out the door. There is a huge sense of class and over all knowledge among the artists. One such artist, Mark, is extremely brilliant with his tattoo know~how and experience. They are very well organized with customers, having appointment books and exchanging of numbers and business cards. The tattoo experience.. The tattoo memory should be one of something happy as well as worth sharing and remembering. Dharma is the kind of place that makes that possible.

Dharma Tattoo saved my life! I got a cover up done elsewhere and was not satisfied with the end result. I was terrified actually, because the tattoo (Black Panther) didn’t turn out how I planned it at all. Most of the color ink came out and I was suppose to go back to get the work completed (we originally planned for 2 sessions to fully accomplish what I had in mind).So now, I was left with a not so beautiful, unfinished art work on my leg! The artist did the best he could at the time; was very apologetic and willing to do the repair. But I started looking at options; searched online, emailed about 5 tattoo shops in Miami, Loco was the ONLY ONE that responded. Visited him at the shop (which has good energy the moment you step inside); he was quite confident he could re-create the Panther, adding his touch as well. Loco would tell you I was a bit skeptical as I didn’t want to make matters any worse. So, after about 4 hours of tattooing, chatting and laughing with Loco and the other friendly artists at Dharma Tattoo, I am now 100% satisfied and can’t stop looking at the work. A friend told me a couple days ago that I have the best tattoo! Thanks Loco!

I was recommended to come to Dharma by my best friend. It was my very first time getting a piercing and wanted to be in good hands. I got my nipples pierced in December and I couldnt have made a better decision. G & her team at Dharma are absolutely amazing. G did my piercing and she made me feel cool, comfortable, and confident. I freak out with needles, but with her help I was able to get through the process smoothly. I recently had the little ball from the piercing come off and I called them for a replacement. When I got there G wasnt present but Loco was, in which he happily assisted me. EVERYTHING is SUPER sterile & clean. The Sanitation in the place is ABSOLUTELY amazing. My piercing got cleaned, I got a new ball, and was happily on my way. I would HIGHLY recommend Dharma to anyone, whether youre going for your first piercing or your fifth. You will ALWAYS be in good hands, and this is truly home. I travel 35 mins, just to get a little ball replaced because I dont trust anyone else. thanks Dharma <3
