Tattoos By Jean Chen

though i was not the one to get tattooed by jean, i wanted to give her 5 stars because she did such a great job on my friend’s tattoo!
it was my friend’s first tattoo, so naturally, there was much discussion to be had. jean discussed ideas with my friend over email weeks before the actual appointment. on the day of the actual appointment, we spent at least another hour going over sketches and revisions. she only charged my friend for the actual time it took to tattoo, which came out to just under an hour. at the end of the appointment, she told my friend that she could get touch ups anytime.
jean was patient, honest, meticulous and extremely thorough. i’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
note: jean also tattoos in the city at lighthouse tattoo. this address is for diving swallow in oakland.

That friend Jill K. is mentioning in her review? That’s me!
Jean was awesome for a first timer. She corresponded with me before our appointment about ideas for my tattoo. During our appointment she ran a few sketches by me and made modifications and suggestions until we came up with something I was happy with. She walked me through the process step by step as well as gave me very thorough instructions for after care. As a result, my tattoo has healed up quickly and with no problems!
I’ve talked about my experience with Jean with some of my friends who have multiple tattoos and they all agreed she provided exceptional service.
I would have no hesitation going back for future work!
