Armada Tattoo Company

The first time I went in to see Justin I had an impulsive idea, in a delicate location, and he executed beautifully. The confidence and friendly conversation made for a wonderful and relaxing tattoo experience. I definitely wanted the art and placement for a confidence boost, it’s fully healed now and I feel RADIANT!! I absolutely adore it and the silly story behind the whole thing!Now, the second time I went in, also impulsive, I decided on a piece he’d drawn up himself years ago, and boyyyyyy I love it soo much!! We named him Edmund and came up with his entire life story while he was put on my arm. 😂 I chose an octopus for my son, and he thinks it’s the coolest thing mommy could have ever gotten.It’s in my book now as the “cool mom” to my kid and I feel a sense of accomplishment in that.All in all, I fully adore Justin and have all the plans to go back in my near future!!

I have been tattooed here on several occasions and love this shop!! I am glad to be the proprietor and look forward to many more years!!

First time there and wanted to get a flash. Josh was super helpful and created a design that I wanted and loved. The tattooing experience was great and comfortable. The tattoo itself came out amazing and I’ll definitely be going back and telling a friends.

The best tattoo shop in the Vallejo area! Everyones so relaxed and chill. Rik is a great artist has done 3 cover ups for me, 1 on my husband as well as a new on my husband.

Josh does wonderful work. He takes the time to make sure you are getting an amazing tattoo. I have gotten many tattoos here and this is the only place that I recommend.

The only place I get my tattoos. Josh does an amazing job and is very professional. He goes out of his way to make sure each customer leaves with their dream tattoo. If you want a high quality tattoo, you should come here.

Please dont spend money here, they dont even deserve one star!!! I scheduled an appointment about a week in advance to get a tattoo that I needed by a certain day and I talked to Justin who was aware of the deadline and he agreed to do the tattoo. I paid a $50 deposit and had an appointment booked and showed up at the appointment time and was told he wasnt in because he was out of town getting married. I completely understand having other priorities and getting married seems to be a pretty good reason to skip a tattoo appointment but I didnt receive any notice that he wasnt going to be there nor did I receive a refund for my deposit. Ive texted Justin twice and called the shop multiple times asking for him and he has never been in and hasnt returned my texts or my money.UPDATE: 10/20/21I called the shop after seeing their response to this review, and Justin still wasnt in. I understand he is not in the shop 24/7 so I left my info but still havent heard back and havent received my money even after doing what they asked.

My boyfriend and I came in for a small couples tattoo. Justin was cool and did a fantastic job. Our tattoos came out exactly how we wanted them. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I got two butterfly neck tattoos on my left neck and for getting my first ever tattoo, it was an amazing experience. I was very comfortable with the procedure and even loved the after results. Very thankful of Josh who did my first tattoo and would go back to him again! ☺️👍🏼👍🏼

I got my FIRST tattoo here, my artist name was COVA. I was soo nervous and he helped me feel more relaxed and helped me locate the perfect spot for my piece and the perfec size , I love it Sooo much ! I totally recommend this shop, and without a doubt if your looking for a good artist, HE is the one. ( his lettering is the best !) Can’t wait for my second:) 💘

This place gets a complete 10/10 for not only was I a walk in but the tattoo artist (Josh)was friendly and respectful. The aesthetic of the place is very alternative but I didn’t mind. They were able to give me exactly what I wanted for an affordable price! Definitely will come back for future tattoos!

The best work Ive ever had. Great professionalism and cleanliness. I highly recommend.The old owner with all the bad reviews sold this shop to Josh two plus years ago. Everything here is different and better.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟ALL the stars!!! Come down for a tattoo, Justin and his crew will take care of anything you need. Top customer service, competitive prices and always great art. ❤ Loyal canvas for a long time and highly recommend.

Josh is a excellent tattoo artist. Talented, courteous and professional. I have gotten two tattoos done by him thus far, no complaints whatsoever, just pure satisfaction.

Ive been to 3 tattoo shops here in Vallejo and this one is the BEST!! I wanted butterflies on my arm to cover a childhood scare I got as a kid. My tattoo artist went above and beyond...😁😁😁 I absolutely LOVE My tattoo. Thank you Joshua!!

Awesome amazing artwork, I only go to Joshua, he is a true artist of the rarest kind. So talented, he never ceases to surprise me, ever!!

This place is amazing! I get all my tattoos done here by Justin. I love the vibe in the shop and they always make you feel welcomed! 10/10!

Landon is the best! I got my VCH piercing done by him yesterday and he explained every step as he was doing so. I was comfortable and the piercing was quick and painless. Aftercare instructions were easy to follow will definitely be returning soon.

Went in 2 weeks ago to get a memory tat for my grandparents. Today went to finish it up. Landon does a beautiful job along with the others guys. They are very professional, clean, make u welcome. I would recommend any of the guy to anyone. See u guys in 2 weeks

Cant believe how comfortable I felt in this place doing this Covid era they were very health consciousness an very clean. the work they did on me was Superb. I highly recommend this Establishment for anbody that is looking to get they very first tat or jus to add on the what you already have. the young man that work on me was Justin. I say to whom every read this ( Run dont walk ) you dont want to miss out.

I was pierced too low for a septum. Service was great but after I let it heal I had to face that it just wasnt done in the right spot (through the thick of my cartilage instead of my sweet spot). When I put the piercing back in, I realized the hole is literally sitting on the edge of my nose.

Great experience and positive vibe in the shop! Fun place to get tattooed! The artists are great and got me in the same day I walked in. Can’t wait to go back!

Was able to easily make my appointment. Fair prices, good friendly conversations, old school vibe. Love my tattoo🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎😎😎

Terrible dont go here. I come in and ask for a tattoo in four colors, I look away to cope with the pain and he does my tattoo all red and still over charges me, then when i leave a review he says i never came here aha please never come here.

Justin is a great artist funny and always laughing and joking around he just installed the piece on my .wont go any were else

Came here about 3 times over the course of two weeks. A 530pm appointment turned into 7pm. I work at 3am so couldn’t do it.Came in a few days later, gave them copies of my ID card “Vic, is at our other shop, he’ll be here soon” 25 minutes later, still not there. I ask them where he’s at, they get an attitude, call him, and give the answer of “he’s just now leaving he’ll be here soon”

I made an appointment on Friday for 1:30 Sunday, it’s going on over 1 1/2 but I’ve had 2 other people go before me.Don’t make an app, if they can see u do it then and there. No sense to make appointment and still wait well over an hr

I don’t go to anybody else BUT Justin for my tattoos! Highly recommend this shop!

Great staff, clean shop and I am super happy with the work I got.I will tell people about Shipyard and I will be returning.Thanks guys, you rock!

Great artists, fun conversations, sweet vans, if you want a tattoo go see Justin!

Josh did my tiger on my arm.im very satisfied with the work fast work and healed great!

I really like the new tattoo shop, Derick did a great job. I also want to see Justin

Ive been to this place several times in the past and tonight was no different. Justin was great!!

They did my nose peircing and i havent had any problems with it !! 😍

When bringing up what i disliked about tattoo Justin was RUDE about it. Very unprofessional
