    Ive just got my most beautiful and absolutely stunning tattoo at Vallarta Ink Btw I already have 13 tattoes, done by good artists in other countries, but what I got here is a real masterpiece. I came to Kiki just with kinda sketch and general idea of what I wanted and he created incredible beauty! I’m very much impressed with quality of work, high level of professionalism, friendly service and super cool vibes in studio! I enjoyed every session and I think, Ill be regular customer here) Highly recommend!

    Kiki Guerrero at Vallarta Ink is hands down the best. My experience from navigating their website, connecting with their staff to set expectations, to scheduling a date that works, and the actual experience was fantastic. Kiki is extremely professional, has an eye for detail, and made the entire process as elevated as can be. He listened to my ideas and was able to create a work of art greater than I thought. The entire crew at Vallarta Ink was phenomenal, made me feel cared for, and kept checking (keeping an eye out and verbally asking) to see if I was doing alright. It also helped that we took a short break every 1-1.5 hours during this 10 hour process. Definitely go nowhere else. I looked at nearly a dozen other tattoo shops and this one is IT! Their professionalism, care, artistry is top notch.

    I booked an appointment with an artist I found on Vallarta Ink's IG. Unfortunately, I arrived and the artist was no longer available. I almost bailed but glad I didn't because I met Mau. He's an incredible local artist! His attention to detail is exceptional. The overall vibe at the shop was so inviting from the moment I arrived. I also had a chance to vibe with the owner, Kiki, who is an awesome human. I will be back and definitely bringing friends.

    Ain’t gonna lie. We always hear horror stories from visiting places in Mexico, whether true or not and people make stories up. I’m always one that has to see it to believe it. Well, while visiting Puerto Vallarta, I needed some tattoo work done. I did many online searches and and read reviews.! But one stuck out. VALLARTA INK..... I read each bio of the Tattoo Artist that does work there. Saw some amazing work. So I made a call, scheduled a consultation. Being on vacation and time was not on my side, the receptionist was quit the scheduler and managed to get me in. Went the following day and consulted with KIKI. We went over my current tattoo issue, KIki asked what I liked and we went from there. He did an amazing job. He being the artist I of course want some of his personal touch, so I asked him to feel free to add to it what his imagination pictured. At that it was Free hand, Vibrant colors. We all know tattoos are and can be painful, Took some breaks, ate dinner, he and his staff made me feel like I was at home. Studio was clean as a whistle. Instruments sanitized. Of course COVID precautions were followed. And by the way, I am not done with my tattoo, I’m returning tonight for the second part, before I leave back home to Texas. So if you ever find yourself in Puerto Vallarta, look KiKi and Vallarta Ink up, won’t be disappointed. Yours Truly, Satisfied TX Nurse.

    Vallarta Ink was the best tattoo experience of my life from start to finish! The receptionist/assistant was fabulous and helped me create my design. She was not shy about giving recommendations yet still extremely respectful of any changes I wanted. When we realized the size I ended up choosing was much larger than we had originally expected and would take more time (6-7 hours!), she offered to walk up to the store with me so I could stock up on some drinks and snacks. kiki who performed the art was just as incredible of a person and very and kind and professional. Not only did I feel entirely comfortable in his presence, but I also felt 100% confident in his work, sanitation and pure artistic skill! The greatest part was that he allowed my husband and kids to bring me some tacos for lunch and sit inside together at the table and eat while we all took a break. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE IN PUERTO VALLARTA FOR A TATTOO! :)

    Super happy with our experience here !! My girlfriend got her first tattoo and loved the welcoming environment and the friendly staff :) This was my 3rd and I didn’t know what to expect as we knew no one who has been prior. our artists Kiki and Sly made sure we were handled correctly, and Professionally. Dora was very happy and fun to work with to make it all happen. Much love to them and would 100% reccomend over any parlour in PV🤙🏼

    My wife and I got tattoos together while visiting the city. They we’re awesome, friendly and professional. I have a lot of tattoos and have been to many shops, and Vallarta Ink is one of the good ones for sure! Kiki was very friendly and made sure we were takin care of. The thing that sealed the deal was I accidentally paid too much( like twice as much) and KiKi without hesitation trusted me and gave me back the extra money when we came back. Thank you, you guys made the end of our trip all the more special!

    Our first trip to Mexico, this place was awesome!! I love my turtle tattoo and my finances Mahi Mahi tattoo. The guys were so nice, the shop is so clean and comfortable. They are very kind and welcoming. They are willing to work with you on design choice and will help you get what you want. We couldn't be happier. We'll be reccomending this to others as well as returning on our next trip! Thanks to Rich and our amigos at Vallarta Ink!!!

    Got my tattoo done today by Vallarta Ink, he did such a stunning job and I am in love with my tattoo. Great staff and super welcoming, made me feel at home right when I walked in the door. Very clean and professional, I 100% recommend Vallarta Ink to do your next tattoo. I'm excited to take this beautiful masterpiece to Canada and always have the memory of my amazing time in Mexico.. Cheers!!! I will definitely be back one day:) don't remember your name but you are one talented young man. Thank you!!

    I absolutely loved how my tattoo came out! It was such a good experience & felt so comfortable with everyone! I will for sure be coming back for future tattoos!

  • 5/5 Britt W. 1 year ago on Google
    4 of us girls went in to get matching tattoos on our girls trip, the cleanliness and professionalism was amazing. I would 10/10 recommend this tattoo shop to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta. The tattoo is healing so well already after a few days. I will be going back when I return to PV to get some more awesome ink!

    What a great shop! Everyone is so friendly. Nach is an amazing artist! Close to 30 hours of work done in 2 weeks. Thank you so much

  • 5/5 Dee B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cash business but friendly people, very clean and professional. At of the way. I got a referral from a friend that they had worked on. I asked for a similar tattoo to one I had done 20 years ago. Different design but same artistic design. It's great.

  • 5/5 Julia F. 11 months ago on Google
    My entire experience here was wonderful. From the contact prior to visiting Mexico, to the aftercare. My tattoo was completed by Desastre, and it is beyond perfect. Even tho he doesn’t speak English, the staff were able to translate and with the little Spanish I know, we were able to easily communicate. His talent is remarkable. The shop was clean. After our tattoos were done, they even asked us to come back the next day if we were able to get them cleaned again and recovered before our flight home. Better aftercare than shops I’ve been to in Canada and the US. Highly recommend! If I make it out to PV again, I’ll absolutely book here again.

    What can I say with this shop. Amazing tattoo artist and support staff.. shout out to Ulysses and Jonathan for a wonderful experience during my time at your shop - Kuma the tattoo artist was amazing, he took his time and was very patient, the level of details he put in my tattoo was unreal I was blown away. The shop is located at the heart of Puerto Vallarta, very clean, cool art works, and they treat you as family when you come in. My advise before you get a tattoo is to consult with Ulysses or Jonathan.. for sure will be back again for another session.

    Just finished getting my tattoo with Kiki, can't say enough good things about this place. A welcoming staff that is extremely knowledgeable and true artists that do amazing work. Kiki is the owner of this place and ensures top quality ink and cleanliness. Had many tattoos from various places and this was my best experience. 10 out of 10.

    We had a large group of people for small vacation tattoos and the whole team at Vallarta inc were fantastic to work with. Great staff, good atmosphere and most importantly beautiful tattoos.

    I'm so very pleased with my experience at Vallarta Ink. Artist and owner, Kiki Guerrero, created the perfect tattoo for me, so much detail and beautifully washed with color. Special thanks to Jimena for getting my initial idea to paper. This being my first tattoo, I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable it was. The studio has a great vibe, decorated with original art, chill sounds and is very clean & professional.

    My experience at Vallarta Ink was outstanding from the beginning! The whole team goes above and beyond, and made me feel welcome and at home in the shop. I appreciated the advice and suggestions they offered, they were extremely professional, and they were always checking on me to see if there was anything I needed. The environment is awesome—very clean, art all around, and great music to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. This tattoo is special to me because it's a portrait of one of my rescue dogs, who passed away in 2021. She means the world to me. Kuma did an incredible job capturing everything about her in detail. He brought her to life through the tattoo and I couldn't be happier with the result. The tattoo looks amazing! I'll be back for more—I've found my place! Thank you, Vallarta Ink!

    One of the coolest experiences at a tattoo studio. Great guest artists and their Admin/Translator/Host Abi was so amazing. Talked us through the tattoo process and which artist would best fit our current styles. They stayed open late for us and were soo friendly. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Puerto Vallarta. Will definitely go back next time I'm traveling in Mexico.
