““Tattooing is an art form that often emulates other mediums. Somebody might want a tattoo that looks like a woodcut, somebody might want a tattoo that looks like a watercolor, somebody might want a tattoo that looks like a photograph … oftentimes, you are kind of making it look like another art form.””

“Excellent artist. Very detail oriented. He’s who you want doing your work.”

“Eric Anderson did a fantastic job! He took the basic idea of what I wanted and elevated it to a work of art. He spent a lot of time with both my sister and I to make sure that the designs were exactly what we wanted with no compromise. We both absolutely love our tattoos and will definitely go back to him in the future! ”

“I have much respect for an artist (like Eric) who thinks about the impact his work will have and wants it to be meaningful and beloved, never a regret. ”

“I remember being so set on what I wanted and then he explained to me that he saw something so much different. It’s honestly like he saw right through me, seeing something wild, unconfined, and not trapped like the little plant in the pot that I wanted tattooed on my arm. We designed our piece together, A traditional Japanese style of water running over grass and rocks. Every time I look at my tattoo it brings me back to the magical place where I saw a waterfall for the first time in front of my eyes. It made my heart sing as tears filled my eyes and I felt at home. He brings me home every time I look at my tattoo it’s a part of me that he helped create. I’ve gone on amazing adventures since and I have received amazing compliments from his work, I always recommend him...What I love about Eric is he didn’t give me what I wanted, he gave me so much more. ”

“Eric does a great job of listening to what you want and helping you design the best possible tattoo. He is funny and easy to talk to, and he works fast. ”

“Mr. Eric Anderson is one of the coolest and most down to earth people I’ve ever met. Before getting my first tattoo, we talked for about 30 mins of the possibilities of getting more tattoos & how this tattoo design would possibly compliment or contrast future pieces I get. He has a vast array of knowledge on tattooing and made my first experience comfortable and pleasant. He is an amazing artist with around 30 years of experience. I highly recommend Mr. Anderson to anyone in the Taos area!”

““Eric is very knowledgeable and is an amazing artist. I have several tattoos by him and will be getting more. It’s always a pleasure to work with Eric.”

His talent not only for tattooing, but also for taking the time to talk to his clients and walk them through the process is beyond compare!

““Amazing shop with top quality tattooing. Eric is an incredible artist and has been tattooing for many years and is able to work in any style. He’s a nice, professional guy and a pleasure to chat or work with. He also sells very cool artwork in the shop, which is in the perfect location right by the plaza. Highly, highly recommend.” ”

“ I walked in knowing I wanted some Minoan sparrows tattooed, probably on my back, but not being 100% sure on the details. I ended up talking with Eric, he was very patient and understood what I wanted to do and gave me plenty of helpful advice. Came in a couple of weeks later for my appointment, made a few last minute adjustments, and now I have a beautiful piece of artwork I am proud of. ”

“Eric Anderson is outstanding. First tattoo and from beginning to end, was awesome. I went in with a general concept and Eric brought it to life. I will have confidence in letting all of you know that you will have no regrets working with Eric. I am so pleased with what has been done and will be back for more.”
