Why It Stands Out
Deep experience + specialty in cover-ups: Eric has nearly three decades as a tattoo artist and offers both creative freedom and technical precision in a wide variety of styles.
Personalized, intimate studio feel: Situated right on Taos’s central strip, the location and vibe cater to both visitors and locals wanting a curated tattooing experience.
Client-focused process: The emphasis is on collaboration—bringing together your ideas and the artist’s deep knowledge of visual art and tattoo to craft a beautiful piece of art to have with you always.

Nearby
While you’re in the area, explore Taos Plaza’s shops, galleries, museums and cafés just a short stroll away—making your tattoo session part of a fuller Taos outing.
Located a few doors down from the Taos Inn at 113 Paseo del Pueblo Norte in the Historic District, Anderson’s Tattoo Parlor is the creative home of artist-proprietor Eric Anderson, who brings nearly 3 decades of experience to custom tattoo work, cover-ups and repairs.
The atmosphere is charged with creative intensity. Original paintings by Eric Anderson line the walls beside classic tattoo flash, vintage memorabilia, and shelves of art and tattoo books. A full live-music setup—complete with guitars, amps, drums, mics, and keyboards—adds to the studio’s electric, improvisational energy. It’s part tattoo shop, part art studio, part rehearsal space—an environment that reflects the raw artistic spirit of Taos itself.
“We have never had a tattoo artist that we can trust like we do with Eric. We give him our ideas and he brings it to life in ways we never thought possible. ”
“Mr. Eric Anderson is one of the coolest & 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. His vast array of knowledge on tattooing 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 THE BEST. His attention to detail and artistic impression is breathtaking! Outstanding workmanship and experience, to boot - an asset to our community. Quality speaks volumes here. Lifelong customer.”
“THE shop in Taos. THE artist you want working on your skin. Eric Anderson is the absolute real deal. Stunningly clean work and artistically versatile.”
“Eric is a true artist and that artistry shines through brilliantly in his tattoos. His work is vibrant and meticulous and the tattoos feel alive in way that perfectly compliments the medium of ink on a human body.”

“Eli did a great job with the piece I got. Tight lines were crucial on this one and he nailed it. I was in and out in less than an hour and couldn’t be happier with the finished product.”
