David is a great artist and a better friend, I would recommend him to any and everyone for any style of tattoo.
Not sure if artist went to deep but it doesn’t look good. Charge me 100$ for just one letter smh
Mau is absolutely amazing! Made me very comfortable and relaxed! Cleanly and private space! Very quick and light handed! Walked right in, he drew up what I wanted and was ready to go from there! Thank you so much! Will be back again! <3
This was my first tattoo and I’m thoroughly impressed and happy with it! Vacation tattoo was a win no complaints did an amazing job it’s a week in and still looks amazing! Thank you so much!!! First picture is a week in. It was partially cartoon partially realistic. I can’t thank Erik enough for helping me to attain…
Impulsively got this and do not regret it. Sake rolled into the shop on his scooter and finished this thing in like 10 minutes lol. I usually go to another shop in San Diego but SD Tattoo Co seems like a new normal for me. Much appreciated.
Good experience
On vacation in San Diego, from Wyoming. Walked into San Diego tatto company, to get a memorial tattoo, they took care of all our details. My husband and I ended up getting 5 tattoos & a nose piercing. As a 52 year old I didn’t think it would look good. Danny (the piercer) made me feel confident & it turned out…
I moved to California recently and I had my first tattoo done with Nick! Couldn't be happier the way it turned out! Will definitely be coming back for another in the near future! (State of Maine with a pacific wave and California palm tree)
I walked in and was helped right away! The artist drew up exactly what I wanted and did a fantastic job! I love m’y new tattoo.
San Diego tattoo Company is a great place to get tattoos. I got my tattoo from Nick here. He gave me a great traditional tattoo piece. He really listened to all the input that I had and hook me up with a great deal. I would definitely recommend that you get your art done here.
The absolute best tattoo experience ever! Damon is very personable and has a gentle hand. And, I felt welcome there. He is meticulous, neat, and his station is well kept… I will definitely be back for my next 4 tatts! #breath
Great work, great artists, Nick touched up a couple tattoos for me and gave me some new ones, definitely would go back.
Cool tattoo shop. Nice tattoo artists. Came for walk ins with my friend for some little traditional styled fillers. Shout out to SOSAJAAKE for my traditional tattoo
Jake did great work the piece turned out great. I will definitely be back, great environment great people. Definitely worth a visit.
Thomas is great! Love it! I’ll definitely be back to add more to it and get an addition piece ! Everyone was kind and attentive. I was visiting from Sacramento.. had a lovely trip and wanted to take a memory home with me 💕 I was a welcomed walk in!
Came in for just a little finger tattoo of my wife’s initial and the boys knocked it out, cool atmosphere, good people!
Great experience with Damon, great environment fair prices and incredible quality. Highly recommend
Wonderful experience. Jake drew me a tattoo based on a character from my favorite book series and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Great service! Took me in as a walk-in, and very took in consideration of my ideas. Totally recommend.
Bug was recommended to me and he did a great job. He was very friendly, professional and made my tattoo look great. I will definitely go back to Bug for my tattoo's next time I'm in San Diego. Thanks again Bug.
Amazing Tattoo and Great Tattoo Artist!
Cam was awesome 👏 dainty tattoo approved 🤍
Great experience, clean technique. Loved working together with Bug to design a unique tattoo. It’s so bright and colorful, super stoked for how it turned out.
I loved the fact that Ivan replied so quickly and was very flexible and his availability matched mine so well. I messaged him and two days later I was on my way to get what I’ve been waiting for, for a little close to two years. He brought my vision to reality and even beyond that!
