What People Are Saying…

“Dave is super kind, creative, and gentle. He helped me quickly figure out the design, size, and placement of my tattoo. I barely felt a thing and it was quick. I love my tattoo and already want to add to it! “

— Pink Lee

“David is an amazing artist and find a way to capture and replicate the fluidity and elegance of any design. I’ve been going to David for all my tattoos for the last 6 years and he has captured something beautiful in everything I’ve asked him to create! Truly one of the most talented artists!!!” 

— Kat McCall

“David is a fantastic artist! I have two pieces from him now and he’s been such a joy to work with both times. He’s also really in tune with your hesitance or problems with placements or design deliberations when choosing between two things and really makes you feel at ease and heard. He’s absolutely wonderful!” 

— Phillip Sanvictores

“I have never felt more safe during a tattoo session. 🌈 🌟David from Botan Alley Studio exhibits the utmost professionalism which is on par with his talent, confidence, and most importantly, the execution of a world class tattoo. I’ve been getting large pieces all over my body from David with planning dating back to 2016. I’ve travelled to conventions, San Jose, San Francisco, and the peninsula. As recent as 2023, I have had additional work done and plan to do more. I now consider David my friend and his patience, dedication to safety, kindness, and attention to detail is second to none in the industry! Thanks David!”
