I had a great experience getting a tattoo from David! He was very friendly and extremely helpful. I went with two of my friends and he did all of our tattoos. We were there for a bit and he made the experience fun and worthwhile. I also love how my tattoo turned out! It was exactly what i wanted.
First tattoo ever with Mau, he walked me through everything (it being my first time) as well as after care procedures, super funny and really glad to have been able to talk to him, I love my tattoo and it was all done with extra care from him Thank you!
Mau was amazing!
Got a dope snoopy tattoo from David. He was quick and efficient and not too pricey! I love my new piece and David was a great artist.
Mau did an amazing job! My sister and I got matching tattoos and I'm very happy with the results! Mau was very willing to ensure that our tattoo was the perfect size and placement we wanted. The environment was also relaxing and out going. Overall the best experience at this shop!
This was my first tattoo and it was a good experience. Sake had a light hand and the tattoo came out perfect.
I had a very positive experience getting a walk-in tattoo with David at San Diego Tattoo Company. He made me feel comfortable and helped me alter my design to exactly what I was looking to get done. He’s patient with the process and sociable when tattooing so it made the time fly by. Would definitely go back if I ended up back in the area
Reggie did such an amazing job with my Velvet Underground tattoo and I literally couldn't be happier with it!!!
Amir is so chill, his work is clean, and the vibes are something else 😜💜 I'll be back for more ink!
I highly recommend Amir!! He did a quick and amazing job on my tattoo! I will definitely be coming back for more ink 😌
Amazing service! The workers were very attentive and helpful during the process. Also very patient! I was very indecisive lol and they waited patiently for me to decide on what I wanted tatted. David did my tattoo which is behind my ear and I love it!!! It’s so cute and well done. I’d definitely return and recommend this! 10/10!!!
I had such a wonderful experience at San Diego Tattoo Company! Erick was so accommodating to my walk-in request, and made sure I loved every aspect of the design before tattooing. His line work is exceptionally precise, and he was so nice to talk to throughout the process :) I will certainly be back soon!
Amir was our tattoo artist, my friends and I all went later at night and they were all very patient very kind and very helpful when creating our tattoo ideas that we wanted. They are quick fast and very efficient with their work. Our tattoos turned out beautiful!
They were fast and did a great job. My daughter and I were happy they were open on a Sunday.
Quick Clean and so friendly. Perfect addition to our girls trip!!
Great shop, great vibes and accepts walk ins which led to me getting my first tattoo by Sake. He killed it and I will definitely be back, brought my reference picture to life with adding some of his custom work in it and it couldn’t be better!
Erick was amazing! My friends and I were on vacation and walked it and they got us right in, we got some amazing ink for great prices. I definitely would recommend this shop. All the guys here are amazing but shout out to Erick for making my bee tattoo come to life!
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…
Erick is amazing! The lightest hand I've ever experienced, and top notch quality. He has a great personality that was very welcoming for out of towners. Highly recommend stopping in to see them if you're in the San Diego area.
Jake was awesome He got me in quickly, was super helpful with figuring out placement, and was great to chat with while I got my piece done. It turned out better than I imagined. Definitely my favorite artist to work with so far!
