Blacklist Tattoo Parlor

Love this place. Wanted a small, simple one-color tatt on my wrist. Artist Mya quoted me $100 (their minimum price) and it came out great. She was a real pro - told me what she was going to do, took lots of time explaining aftercare, took her time doing my ink and it looks great. Would def go back.

I went inside & looked around its really clean they stay busy they were booked that day I wanted to know if they did piercings.

Small backstory: Me, my brother & my sister in law drove 12 hours from Southern California to Albuquerque for a wedding and we wanted more than a lame souvenir magnet to commemorate the trip. We looked up a few shops before deciding to drop by Blacklist with some questions. When we got to the shop we met Chewy who was very welcoming and professional. He was able to squeeze us in same day for an evening appointment. We sent him some ideas of what we wanted (just some small lil outline work ups) and he seemed just as happy to help us out as he might have for a single, bigger job. He drew us up some samples and emailed them to us while we were off touristing around. We came back for our appointment and for mine he redid the positioning for me a second time with the stencil and gave me his honest opinion on how different angles would look. I appreciated the amount of care and time he took to go over each step with me and the attention to detail he had while executing the tattoo. He could also carry conversation really well which is key when you're stuck with a person for as long as a tattoo takes. All in all, the three of us agreed that we'd definitely consider making a trip out to ABQ again just to get work done by Chewy. 10/10 would recommend!

My 45 year old husband is an avid Spider-Man fan and has loved him longer than I've known him. He loves comic books, comic book art and has a vast collection of comic books. He has always appreciated the artists and the attention to detail. He has gone back and forth about a tattoo for many years and recently has been more and more interested in getting a tattoo but also has not been very impressed with the details on the tattoos of comic book characters he has seen. He has been on the hunt to find a local artist who could truly put a piece of art on his body and not just slap a tattoo him. I happen to run into a young man and was "awed" by his tattoo so I asked him who his artist was. He gave me his last appointment card and told me to go see Ben at Blacklist Tattoo. I messaged him on Instagram about a consultation for my husband and he quickly responded. My husband was so impressed after meeting Ben and knew that was the artist for him. He cares so much about detail, placement of the tattoo in relation to you body's anatomy, etc. Ben truly is an artist. He even has two art degrees from UNM, no wonder! My husband absolutely loves his tattoo and couldn't be happier with the finished product. No regrets here for this guy.

I have to say I have wanted my key tattoo for years but I wasn't sure which artist to go to in town. Life is busy and I haven't focused on it so when my husband received a gift certificate for blacklist from work I was excited to use it. But I also was scared because I had no idea if this place was good or bad! Trusting someone to modify your body and not disfigure you is a big step. My first impression after crossing their velvet rope was, wow Jason is passionate about sanitation and disease control. I have worked in a salon for 20 years and sanitation only got more important to me after if I finished Nursing school. He explained that they use disposable needles I was impressed with their equipment. The tattoo is amazing and I love it!! It's exactly what I wanted and more! I can't wait to get my next one!! Jason is amazing!

Jason is a fantastic artist. I've been getting tattooed by him since he got to town 12 yrs ago. He is diligent and honest. He's as good an artist as anyone and better than most. Don't get some hack to put permanent art on your body. Go to Jason at Blacklist.

I had a tattoo done by Jarred. I originally wanted it done by Ben but he was booked out, he said the tattoo was very simple and he recommended Jarred. He did one part really well but got VERY sloppy and heavy handed towards the end. The skin is very irritated and the lines are incredibly messy. I already scheduled a cover up by another artist once the skin heals. He has some great art in his portfolio but did not do a good job on mine and it was just line work.He said he was having a really long day AFTER the tattoo. If he was tired it would have been nice if he told me so we could have rescheduled...

By far the best shop in town. If you want solid clean work hit up Ben and book that appt. I fly to Albuquerque from LA just to get work from him. Can't wait to get my back worked on in July.

Excellent tattoo shop!My artist, Ben, is so talented! Honestly, all the guys in the shop are really good. The shop is clean, well lit, and everyone is friendly and professional. You're definitely going to get amazing work done here. Ben has done a half sleeve for me as well as a smaller piece, and I'll 100% be back for more. I absolutely recommend them!

Ben is amazing! He was extremely nice throughout the process and made sure I knew everything he was doing before he did it. The work he did on me is an amazing Neo-Traditional rose that's framed and includes musical notes. He worked really hard to make me a design that I am extremely happy with!!!
