Andre is an absolutely incredible artist. He’s doing my sleeve and he has exceeded my expectations. After every session I’m blown away with the result. Additionally, his shop is clean, private, and comfortable. I can’t recommend him enough.
As told by my husband, Andre was incredibly kind, humble and down to earth. He genuinely loved his experience and is eager to have more work done after his full leg piece. We haven’t noticed to many POCs that tattoo and are lucky to have met Andre. Keep being a total baddass!
Since 2017, I have had the pleasure of getting tattooed from an incredibly talented artist, Andre Malcolm. He not only possesses extraordinary skills but also creates his own ink, which makes him truly unique. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, leaving me with pieces of art that far exceeded my expectations. Andre’s technical prowess is truly awe-inspiring. Every stroke, line, and detail he brought to life on my skin showcased his precision and mastery of the craft. His ability to effortlessly transform ideas and concepts into beautiful, personalized designs is a testament to his talent. Each piece he creates is a unique work of art that tells a story, capturing the essence of my vision with remarkable accuracy. Not to mention, his kind, caring, and jovial demeanor contributed to a relaxed, comfortable, and enjoyable experience, making the sessions all the more memorable. So, if youre looking for a remarkable tattoo experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit Andre.
Andre is the most professional artist I have met. He was open and an excellent communicator. From the first meeting were we discussed tattoo ideas, sharing his drawing and the actual tattoo session, Andre never made me feel uneasy or unsure of the placement or layout. I found hound his demeanor and professionalism made the session easier while having to sit for long periods of time. His eye for design and colors is second to none. Andre’s line work is outstanding. There were no blow outs or other issues with my tattoo. Andre was able to pack my tattoo with color without causing to much irratation or discomfort. The tattoo healed really well because of this. His tips for aftercare made sure I didn’t have any issues. I constantly have people compliment me on the design and color. I could easily go on and on when it comes to Andre. Honestly if you are looking for a tattoo artist, this is the one for you. You won’t regret any piece he provides you. Andre I can’t thank you enough for the time, energy and creativity you put into my sleeve.
Andre has a beautiful private tattoo studio that makes the experience extremely comfortable. He takes great care in providing an exceptionally clean work environment and uses the only best tattoo equipment and inks. This equates to a smoother application process and (for me) less time to heal. It cant really be compared to the standard tattoo experience as Andre is many levels past that. He has worked with several world renowned artists and has a deep rooted passion for his work. This will all come together to create a piece of art that will live on for a life time on your body that will stand apart from nearly anything elce you will see. Me and my wife both go to Andre for our work and get compliments almost daily on our pieces. Andre is a great soul and a master of his craft, I could not recommend him enough.
Andre is one of the best tattoo artists I have worked with. I traveled from NC, just to work with him, because his work is flawless. He is down to earth and made me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in the door. I got my tattoo from Andre almost 4 years ago and it still looks brand new! I cant wait to work with him again, Ill be a life long customer for sure!
Hands-down the best! Andre did both my half-sleeves, each of which involved a coverup from an older tattoo. They are kick ass! I get mad compliments all the time and couldnt be more satisfied. I would definitely recommend Andre to anyone.
Ive had the pleasure of getting tattooed by André and have only gone to him since. Super detail-orientated and takes your pain into consideration. Ive been to tattoo artists before where they work through your body shivering aka mild shock but Ive never had an issue calling for a break. Hes very thorough with his stenciling so that youre comfortable with placement and design and is great with communication via email when you want updates/to change something. Ive been going to André for 4 years now and I dont plan on stopping. His heavy influence with Japanese-style tattooing shows in his work and hes an ace when it comes to anything dragons, so much so that hes even held seminars on how to draw them. If you havent been convinced enough, then listen to this....GET A TATTOO BY THIS MAN ASAP!
Andre is a very talented and dedicated artist. I had a fairly barebones idea of what I wanted, so to see him flesh it out was really awesome. He puts in a lot of effort into making the anatomy and flow of the art fit your body. I found his excitement and interest in what I wanted done very reassuring. His studio is very clean and visually interesting.It is important to not only like the art, but to feel comfortable around the artist, and Andre manages both. He is super friendly and engaging, with a wide range of interests. You often end up spending a lot of time around your tattoo artist, so it is a huge plus when you genuinely enjoy their company.
Andre is an expert at his craft. He takes his time with both consultations and the actual tattoo experience. He ensures that you are satisfied with the sketch before proceeding with the tattoo. He also invites you into the creative process by asking your connection to the visual images that youre considering. The studio is also peaceful and calming with great art and comfortable furniture (including his table) where you can really enjoy the process and feel exclusive. He only shares the studio with one other artist. Also - he uses state of the art equipment and is always evolving his tattoo practice. You wont be disappointed by going to Andre. Ive had the joy of working with him for over a decade and I wouldnt trust any other tattoo artist besides him! Thank you for always making me comfortable! Youre the best in the game!
Ive been working with Andre on a large back piece (shoulder blades down to just above the backs of my knees) and Im really happy with the work. The lines are crisp and dark, and the design he created took into account exactly what I wanted while still providing his unique touch. Andre is always professional, has a great attitude, and Ive really enjoyed working with him. The piece isnt done yet but I already have ideas for the next one Id like to have him do.
I had researched and followed Andres work for a few years before finally committing to a consultation. After meeting him, I knew that I had picked the correct artist for my tattoo. I specifically wanted to work with a POC or Black tattooer with experience tattooing dark skin. Andres craft and professionalism are world-class, and he is a master that still cares about honing his skills and knowledge. My five sessions were extremely comfortable and easy, and his studio was clean and inviting. I am thankful to have gotten such wonderful work done on my back, and I look forward to continuing my suit down my legs one day!
Andre is the man! He is such a consummate professional and he did incredible work on my arm. I get compliments all the time on my sleeve and I always send these folks to his Instagram account. Good tattoo work involves commitment and trust - Andre will absolutely do right by you!
Getting a tattoo from Andre was of the smoothest experiences ever. I reached out to him through email to inquire if he had any free time to do a chest piece and within the week, I had a consultation. We went through the process doing some preliminary sketches and he even taught me a thing or two about Japanese tattoos and how they are constructed. Weeks later, we did the outline and black fill all while talking about hip-hip and Drink Champs podcast. Another week later we do the coloring, finish things up and he even gave me one of his shirts as a parting gift. Super recommended to anyone that is out there getting tattoo and super super recommended to anyone getting a body suit.
André is the most talented artist that I have the privilege of knowing, and I trust no other person to do work on me. I gave him reference photos and general ideas of what I wanted, and he designed the original art on my forearms that I am proud to display. His studio is clean, well-lit, and private - no worries about random uninvited people looking in on your session. Ive never met someone as kind-hearted as André, and I will gladly continue to have him design and ink more work on me.
He is the best! You wont be disappointed! Ive followed him since he was at his previous studio and couldnt be more ecstatic that I found he was still in sf and now Im getting a piece done by Andrè!
If you are in search for one of the top large scale Japanese tattoo artists in the USA, then look no further. André is a master of his craft and an all around awesome guy. His own line of black wash ink- TheGreys - has healed beautifully into my skin over the years and will hold for a lifetime. Working with André on this one of a kind tattoo has been a special experience from our first session to the last.
I’ve been working on my bodysuit with André for over 5 years. Grateful to have made such a good friend and proud to wear his artwork every day. I always look forward to seeing him for more work and catching up. You can trust him to make a masterpiece on your skin.
Andre is as cool as they come very chill vibes in the studio . But you can tell as soon as you walk in your in a serious work space . Andre is real passionate about what he does and what he puts out into the world the space is a great reflection of what he does . I am a satisfied customer and I can’t wait to get some more tattoo work from Andre
André did my entire back so I was getting tattooed by him for almost 2 years. beautiful work in a professional and very private studio. This is art collecting at its finest -- you shouldnt think twice about acquiring something from such a modern master. I will likely be getting tattooed by André for years to come.
Ive been watching Andrés work evolve over the past 3 years on my best friend. He has a unique way of capturing the emotions of animals in his work, and his choice of colors and shading is very tasteful. The shop is always clean and inviting. If you have a best friend who wants a very large, high-quality tattoo, then I highly recommend André.
Andre is such a tremendous artist, and Im so grateful to have found him, and bonus, he had some availability! I wont call it just a tattoo-- I call it an art installation on my body.
Great experience. Andre is attentive, talented and great at bringing ideas to fruition. I was a fan of his art before our first session and I look forward to more work in the future.
Andre is one of a kind. I hope you feel it everytime I brag about how great you are as a person and as an artist! Forever and always a legend, thank you Dre!

Andre is an amazing artist and a good soul. Fearless in his work, and always innovating.
