Excellent experience from start to finish! Anka is incredibly talented, professional, and pays close attention to every detail. The quality of the work is outstanding, with clean lines and amazing precision. You can definitely tell that a lot of pride and dedication goes into every tattoo. The entire experience was comfortable, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality tattoo work. Definitely a 5-star experience!

I don’t even want to leave a star and I don’t even leave reviews but this has my blood boiling. This place is highway robbery Mario did a palm size tattoo for $650 took full advantage of a 19 year old service member that had never gotten a tattoo. I have plenty of tattoos myself and a family member with the same tattoo for a quarter of the price. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Hi Brooke, thank you for sharing your feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to speak with me directly about your concerns regarding the price of your son's tattoo. I understand that our pricing may have been higher than you expected. At Rock Bottom Tattoo Studio, we pride ourselves on providing a premium tattoo experience in downtown San Diego. Our pricing reflects the experience and skill of our artists, the quality of our work, the professional environment we maintain, and the cost of operating a studio in this location. Tattoo pricing can vary significantly depending on the artist, design, size, detail, and location. While we understand that our rates may not align with everyone's expectations or budget, we stand behind the value and quality of the services we provide. I'm sorry that our conversation didn't resolve your concerns, but I do appreciate the opportunity we had to discuss them. We wish you and your son all the best. — Management, Rock Bottom Tattoo Studio
