Dark Mark Arts

I have gotten a tattoo from every single one of these women and will never go anywhere else ever again. They are friendly and kind and listen to you as a client. The shop is clean and organized not to mention private which makes the overall experience more comfortable. Each Artist has they’re individual styles so you can get a little of everything. Not to mention the flexibility of each artist is incredible, Artist Charlene Torres drew my leaf tattoo stencil (pictured below) by hand onto my body! Which made it fit perfectly with my anatomy. Getting a tattoo from Dark Mark changed my life and it will change yours too. If you never want to get an uncomfortable mediocre tattoo again go to this shop!

Anna did an amazing job on a tattoo I had done for my graduation. I sent her an idea and she customized it to her style, which was way better than what I sent her. Everyone here is super nice and I will definitely be coming back to get more work done.

This is my go-to oddities shop with amazing stuff from local artists. I’ve been buying almost every gift for my wife’s bday and our anniversary here for years and the selection just keeps getting better! The owner is incredibly nice and knowledgeable! Check out their little uranium glass display in the little nook under the stairs, I didn’t even see it until the last time I bought something. 😂

Hands down the place to be! Anna is absolutely stellar and has done the vast majority of my work. It’s such a joy to share an idea with an artist and watch them turn it into something so much more incredible than you even imagined. I cannot imagine trusting anyone more than her. I’ve also gotten one of Charlene’s flash designs and she is a delight! I can’t wait to work with Megan as well, and while I don’t have a tattoo from her yet, we’ve chatted tons and I adore her too.Aside from the art aspect, the shop is amazing. Such a warm and welcoming vibe. It’s always a pleasure to hang out and visit while they’re working with me. It is amazing to be surrounded by such badass, talented, wonderful women. The shopping and decor is just the cherry on top. I always find something new and awesome there.

I would give this place 10 stars if possible.The lead/master tattoo artist is incredibly skilled, kind, and aims for creatively flexibility with clients whenever possible. While she tattoos she also makes sure to speak with incoming guests, and man the register for the oddity shop simultaneously. Her dedication to creating an environment that supports women artists, local artist, and odd people as well is genuinely mind boggling and inspiring.In addition to Anna, she has two fantastic apprentices who have both quickly increased their skill in the craft and built incredible rapport with clients both new and returning to the shop. I was incredibly fortunate to be introduced to these artists and this shop and hardly consider going elsewhere for any similar services (tattoos, odditys, or otherwise).

If you’re looking for the best tattoo experience, look no further! Dark Mark Arts isn’t like a bro-y, you get what you get shop. Anna has curated an amazingly creative space where you feel comfortable and confident you’ll be getting a great tattoo! I chose a beautiful, black and grey piece from Megan’s flash and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!!!

The picture speaks for itself! I’m so grateful for this place and the people who work there! From the amazing rework on my arm to the great conversations this place is a treasure! I’m forever grateful and so blessed not to be walking around with a tattoo I no longer hate!

This place is amazing, my tattoo artist Charlene did both of my tattoos and drew both of them. The place is very cozy and everyone there are some of the nicest people I have ever met. They were also super patient with me when I needed to take breaks or to get up and stretch. They are so welcoming and really make sure that you are alright and comfortable. This is my tattoo place and I hope to get the rest of my tattoos here. 10/10

Got my first big piece done here by the amazing Megan. I’ve had issues with feeling comfortable at a tattoo shop before but everyone that worked there made it a point to be kind and welcoming. It felt like I was getting tattooed by my group of friends! Megan does incredible work and that incredible work is now forever on my body and for that I am forever grateful. Megan gave me her full and undivided attention which I appreciated since she was tattooing a piece that would permanently be on my body. Thank you Dark Mark and Megan!

5 stars! Flawless! Greater than great! I have gotten two tattoos done by Anna, one at a flash event. The shop is very unique and well curated. Everything is clean and the tattoos I have gotten are very well done. There is a lot of talent in that shop.

I sought out woman owned or run locations intentionally. I was thrilled to find this one. My daughter and I went to check it out together. There was a master artist and 2 apprentices on site. I advised I was interested in booking an appointment. The master artist was too busy tattooing herself to bother. The one apprentice not working on a client didnt offer either. I did send an email expressing my interest, and again was ignored. Its a shame. I was genuinely looking forward to supporting women artists.

Fantastic Artist (Anna) - We come from out of town and *HAVE* to stop by every time. We got our wedding runes (fingers) done and they are so precise and clean! My memorial tattoo for my brother is incredible, she was able to capture everything I needed for this piece. My husband has had several older tattoos worked on, expanded, modified and new ones done as well. She is quick and sure handed, I cannot recommend tattoos her enough!As for ALL THE OTHER GOODIES - OMG, there are all kinds of oddities, and unique gifts for all types in the shop. If for nothing other than finding holiday items, white elephant gifts, spooky or ethereal elements that are sure to spark interest, conversation or joy. Check out Dark Mark Arts in the ABQ Collective !!

My oldest son wanted a memorial tattoo for his 18th birthday; a family pet we all loved dearly. Not only did Anna do incredible work for someones first experience, she blocked out the day so my husband and I could get the same piece as well as some refreshers on other work. Now my youngest is getting ready to turn 18 and was so excited by the stories of the day he has asked for the same. We cant imagine getting them done anywhere else! We dont even live in the state, but were making the drive for sure. Clean shop, clean work, thoughtful consultation, lots of laughter and camaraderie...if it was possible, Id give it even more than 5 stars - from the whole family!

Dark Mark Arts is unlike any place - I LOVE it! And the quality of product and art is unmatched. I had three friends come into town and we all got tattoos! Their NEW SPACE is incredible (downstairs behind the BOOKSHELF!) - and theyve been working their behinds off getting it ready for their patrons. Anna and her team are ROCKSTARS.

Anna is creative, talented and an AMAZING tattoo artist. Dont forget to check out all of her amazing artwork too. You get to walk through a bookshelf to get to the shop. How cool is that??

I love this place! The vibe in the shop is amazing and the tattoo work I’ve had done by Charlene is just beautiful! I won’t go anywhere else

I love this little shop. All the artists are wonderful and kind never had a bad experience.

Anna is an incredible artist who will work with you to create the perfect piece in a comfortable environment!
