Heavy Water Tattoo and Brayton is the best tattoo place to go in the bay area. I gave Brayton a very simple idea for a tattoo and he used his artistic view and turned it into something that was absolutely amazing! I was so impressed with his ability to improvise and give me wayyy more than I expected. I would recommend him to any first timers or people coming back for the 100th tattoo. His shop is sparkly clean and he uses nothing but the best equipment. Along with the artistic view Brayton has a great personality and doesnt make you feel in the least bit uncomfortable. He is overly welcoming and willing to work with you with whatever questions you may have. Heavy Water Tattoo is the place to go and you wont regret it!!

Awesome talented artist. Finished my half sleeve and couldnt be happier ! Beautiful work and great to work with. Really easy going, made for a fantastic experience. Already planning my next one !!!

My friend received a tatoo here which was beautifully applied in less than an hour with a light hand. This talented guy is an expert and runs a clean little shop.

Brayton is skilled in the art and can do pieces quickly and professionally. Talkative and mellow, he definitely makes me enjoy the time hes inking me up. Highly recommended local guy local business, support your local lurker!

Very Responsive, highly recommended to others.over all great

Will repeat what other have said, Brayton is an amazing artist. He is professional, runs a very clean place, and is truly friendly. Was looking to get a 3/4 sleeve, had a pretty good idea of what I wanted but let him have complete artistic control. From the just first visit I could tell we were on the same page and knew he understood my ideas. I am extremely pleased and couldnt be happier with the results. Will definitely be going back and would recommend to anyone who wants to have some work done.

Dissapointed rode 40 min on my bike and mustered up the courage to get my first tat and closed at 730 when says they are open til 10 so Dissapointed. Wont go back.

Thanks.... your good service

Very professional and clean shop. I felt like I was able to communicate my ideas and have them translated into something much more then I could have imagined. Brayton is great at looking at the body and designing something that flatters and enhances. I am super happy with all the work I have gotten from him and cant wait to see what ideas he has for the next one!

I highly recommend Brayton for your next tattoo! Makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. I just got my first session done with him and going back again. His work is amazing!

Brayton is a great artist which translates into a great tattoo artist. He is precise and very good at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone looking to get another tattoo or their first. he is good with either black and grey or color.

Brayton is an amazing artist. He is very open minded to your ideas and is very kind, as well as professional. If you are not sure where to get your next tattoo, check out his work, make an appointment for a consultation, (which you can do through email or text), meet him and you will not be disappointed.He has a light hand, amazing grasp of shading and attention to detail, as well as some really good coffee. I can definitely see why he won best tattoo shop for 2016 and 2017.If something is gonna be on your body forever, you want it to look amazing, and if you want top-notch, you want Brayton Furlong to do it..

A friend of mine walked into Heavy Water Tattoo showed me his piece and I fell in love. I went to Brayton with a half-baked idea and walked out with something beautiful. He is passionate, intricate and attentive to detail (which of course is important to anyone getting a tattoo). This is the largest tattoo Ive ever gotten so naturally I was nervous but Brayton is so kind and funny that the time flew by. I definitely recommend going! :)

Brayton has done a few major pieces on me over the past few years. He is very Profesional, puctual, and a very talented artist. He turned my tattoos into everything I wanted and more. Definitely found my go to tattoo artist! I would recommend heavy water tattoo to anyone who is looking to get a true work of art!
