Sacred Artifact Studio - Garberville, California

Pirkko is the ultimate professional. She not only has the cleanest studio I've ever been tattooed in, but she is also one of the best artists I've ever met. She has decades of experience and nailed the very complex design I asked her to sketch on paper, and then somehow, made it look even better as a finished product. She has a very light hand while also tattooing art that is meant to last with the same integrity and clarity with which it was originally created. It will last for years without a touch-up. I'm glad to have beautiful art on my body from her that will withstand the test of time.

I love my tattoos from Pirkko. She is such an amazing artist that is very talented at what she does. I’ve never been disappointed with any of her work . She takes the time to listen and is meticulous with the needle. I would most definitely recommend her if you are in the Humboldt area!

Pirkko is an amazing artist! Her talent is only exceeded by her professionalism and empathy. Working with her on an original design was a joy. She was clear and open with every step of the process from designing the piece to taking the time to execute it gently. I spent over 12 hours in her chair and experienced very little discomfort. I am proud to say that my first tattoo was an award-winning original work of art!

If you are thinking of getting your first tattoo, or want to add to your already existing collection, look no further than Pirkko and Sacred Artifact Studio!

Horrible experience. Blew off multiple appointments. Couldn't finish line work on a sleeve. Going on 6 months trying to get my sleeve finished. Keep in mind there are two decent sized pieces that were already there.
I paid a 500 dollar deposit and in total I paid $1,350. She sent numerous excuses, bashes clients, and throws fits while working on clients oh and blames Harry for everything. Sure her work is ok but reliability is a joke! Expect to pay to be her therapist. I asked for a refund and was sent a letter explaining availability and how she explained her numerous excuses as to why she flopped on her appointments like it was my fault.
Unless you have time and money to waist and probably end up with a piece drawn-out out over years than she's your girl.
I emailed her back to schedule another failed appointment and she stated that I have till 10pm to confirm. I confirmed and she never responded.

Pirkko did an outstanding job. I could really tell she had years of experience as well as extensive knowledge on symbolism and the meaning behind the tattoo. She helped me design and figure out what I wanted to do with the design. Very professional, and takes pride in her work. Pirkko really stands out from my experience with other artists and sets the standard i expect from an awesome tattoo business.
