Anka is amazing! She was continuing my leg tattoo from another artist and she blended it perfectly. Essentially seamless! Not only did she tweak the art to match, but she also did it in less than 3 hours. The studio itself is clean and relaxing to be in. Sundays are cash only. Idk if this is regular policy or just…

Rock Bottom is an amazing private tattoo studio downtown SD. The artists are amazingly talented and the vibes are impeccable. I got a tattoo by Chantale and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I will definitely recommend this shop and I will definitely be back soon!
