An easygoing atmosphere with good music that doesn't overpower the vibe, great art all over the walls and a well-appointed and comfortable retro interior make Garage Ink a great choice to get a well-designed, expertly drawn tattoo. Rob Struven, Donavan Kinyon, Henry Dever, Ryan Estrella and Daniel Roodzant provide the artistry and expertise. Walk-ins are okay, but the studio has been named Best Place to Get Body Art by North Bay Bohemian every year since 2006, so a phone call to check availability is advised.
