The Skull Museum - Shingle Springs, California

Highly recommend this tattoo shop! Very responsive, great customer service, clean, good vibes, and amazing ability to match you with the perfect artist for the skill level needed for the requested work. All tattoo artists in the shop are highly skilled in their styles and have an amazing speed and accuracy upon completion. The price rates are worth the work received 100%!

The shop is clean and has a fun ambiance. The skulls and art on display is a beautiful touch 🤌🏽❤️. Bathrooms are nicely upkept, as well as the break room area and lobby.

My husband had a tattoo from Raché M. who completed an epic piece in one sitting! The work is super clean and detailed exactly as requested with adding his expertise to the design. The process was perfectly explained and my husband is more than satisfied with the level of professionalism and skills provided!

We definitely will be returning for more work! Thank you Raché and The Skull Museum!

Skull Museum discovered while I was walking Lulu 🐶 when waiting for Subaru service around the corner. Understandably I had to leave within minutes after walking in because no dogs allowed while tattoo work in progress. Establishment appears remarkably clean and good smelling so I’m giving 4⭐️ for that alone.

I recently got a large floral piece done by Felix G. And I was beyond blown away by the outcome of this piece. The detail, the fine lines, the patience, and the care he put into my tattoo was outstanding. This was tattoo was in a tough spot and through my discomfort, he was able to work fast yet efficiently.
I’m very picky about my tattoos because it’s going to be on my body forever right? I have to be. While planning the design he asked me questions no other artist would. He asked me what kind of leaves I liked, shading, lines, what flowers I wanted. I gave him a simple reference with ideas and he took all my ideas and made something completely original and not just my Pinterest inspiration. He gave me ART and creativity, not just a copy and paste stamp. I love that he took what I was suggesting and made it into something beautiful. I believe tattoo is an art and when someone can create originality out of something and make it 10x more beautiful than I had originally suggested. He not only told me about long term effects (if it was gonna blur or mush together) but he provided knowledgeable insight to make this tattoo last for a long time. Naturally I know these lines won’t stay crispy but the longer they do the better! I was unaware, no artist has ever gone out of there way to help me this way. Im still new to getting tattoos so as a client, that meant the world to me! I send a lot of questions to him and he would always answer them kindly and professionally, even when he was out of the office. He cared, and that made me comfortable.

During:
This was a rough tattoo, it was in the painful spot. He made it as comfortable as possible and listened to me if I needed a break. He was fast and light handed. This was probably an 8 hour session. We went passed the closing time of the shop and he continued. He went passed his work hours for me to finish this piece. That’s his own time for me, I appreciated that so much because he didn’t have to. I don’t think anyone would give up their personal time like that. This artist is an amazing person and his work reflects him. I’d 1000x recommend anyone to him and I will certainly be going back myself for my next tattoos.

Felix completely knocked it out of the ball park! I have been wanting a HP sleeve for a long time and I am loving how it’s coming along so far! This is my second time booking with Felix and he is amazing! Such a talented artist and he is very patient. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to start a sleeve!

The Skull Museum is such a dope place. Love the energy and environment there. Felix did my tattoos and he did an amazing job. The cleanness of the single needle work is so great and I love all of them. Definitely will be going back and getting work done. He is such a vibe to be around and is so talented. Felix made getting my first tattoo such a special experience.

Will is an amazing apprentice. Get in before he gets famous! Rafa is so good you don’t even feel the needle.
All the artists here are amazing and do such nice artwork. Everyone is very friendly and make you feel like you’re visiting friends when you’re here.

This is a wonderful shop. Highly professional, beautiful, and clean. I worked with Felix Gallardo on my Gambit piece. He offered much support and flexibility in making my vision come to life. His work is fantastic, and I highly recommend it. I will be getting more work done in the future.

I had the best experience getting my tattoo. When I got there, the receptionist greeting me very nicely and offer me something to drink. She explain what the process was like and answered questions that I had. Then my tattoo artist, Sue, meet with me and we started to brainstorm on what I wanted. After 45 min wait, she came back with some amazing drawings. Was sold when I saw her drawings. It was perfect. We started the session, took around 5 hours with breaks in between. I got to say she's amazing and very friendly, we were chatting it up most of the session. Everyone there made me feel like I was at home and kept on looking at the work in process and giving compliments. The atmosphere was great and felt the love!! Also they have amazing art work. Very clean too, it's incredible how clean it is. Overall best experience ever. I'm going back to get another one in October!!
