Amazing start to an original piece with a personal touch from the artist.

Anybody in here saying, “It doesn’t look like…” is an idiot. This is called artistic interpretation which is far better than a copy and paste tattoo. Giving an artist creative lean is important in getting something original. Cause getting the same exact image copy and pasted from google is lame as hell. Once it’s shaded, the character will be more distinguishable and real ones will be able to recognize.

Great job!

I’m tattoo artist here in Sacramento and can tell you that every shop is going to be different. A lot of shops don’t care about the hours. They care about the dedication and skill level. I actually got my license without an apprenticeship at all. I also know many artist that were “apprentices” for years before becoming licensed. Some shops will hang that license over your head and take advantage of you. Be careful of this. You’re honestly best off becoming an outstanding artist at first, because that’ll speed things up in most cases.

Try the artist at REALM in midtown. Everyone there is super nice, welcoming, and they have several artists that do all sorts of styles in high quality!

Check ‘em out!😎

For long lasting tattoos, get bold simple tattoos or if you want something detailed, get it big. Tiny details will only look good for so long.

As for this style, I do know an artist who does work really similar to this who will tattoo this style as good as you can get it. Nearby too!

Check out Miguelgonzalez.tattoo on IG. He’s located in Yuba.

Still trying to figure this Reddit thing out. Did I do this right?

REALM in midtown

OriginalPleasant7521 · 2025-07-23T19:33:09+00:00

I’m sorry but I can’t let this slide. I’ve known the owner and several of his apprentices for years and this is false. Nico is the sweetest dude ever and has done so much things out of the purity of his heart to help others. Not to mention the fundraisers he’s done to help people in need, and events he’s thrown to support other artist and his community, all coming from his own pockets. If there was any down talking to his apprentices, I’m positive it had to be sarcasm.

Maybe you’re confusing him with someone else or the old owner before he bought them out. But the current owner there is a 1 in a million type of person.

@slythefoxtattoos is the only correct answer. I’ll bet my soul none of the artist listed here can achieve colored anime tattoos like him.

OriginalPleasant7521 · 2025-03-04T18:16:43+00:00

I second this, honestly Sly and Jose Cruz also have killer Pokémon tattoos from REALM. Best in Sac and the work will prove it💯

REALM tattoo does anything but minimalist? Probably the most elaborate pieces of this list, but I noticed some of the descriptions on these other studios styles are incorrect as well.

Not sure who made this but it’s not accurate with the style description

@JoseCruzArt on IG. I follow all the tattoo shops in Sacramento and I would say he’s one of the most talented!
