Great vibes while getting my tattoo. Pricing is reasonable went in with my 2 friends and they gave us all a good time and did amazing on all 3 tattoos. My artist was Akim and he did great!
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!
love the free hand david did on a tattoo. i told him what i wanted and i got exactly that. i will most definitely be going back.
my experience was great! everyone was very nice and I’m very happy with my tattoo, will definitely come back in the future for more.
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.
10000000/10 absolutely loooove my tattoo done by Mau! I’m so excited to continue our journey for the rest of my leg sleeve & to keep coming back for any and all tattoos in the future! Such amazing work and such a fun vibe
Definitely satisfied with David’s work! All artists were friendly and welcoming. Will be going back for another tattoo.
Quick service, I had just walked in. They determined what I wanted easily and knocked it out. Just a very small four number tattoo but looks just the way I wanted.
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!
Sake took me in as a walk in. He was warm and welcoming and I felt comfortable right away. I’m a San Diego native living on the east coast and Sake gave me the best reminder of where I come from. 619 for life!
Super fast and clean designs, very helpful with sketches and good pricing. Highly recommend them for all your tattoo wants
Super happy with mine and my husband's tattoos! We like to get souvenir tats on our big trips so we walked in on a Saturday afternoon and were immediately able to pick our flashes and get started. Clean area, friendly artists, and very quick! I definitely recommend
I was in town visiting and only had a few hours left before my flight took off back home. As I was driving, I happen to see a Amir sitting outside and I quickly pulled over and ask him about doing me a tattoo. I wasn’t sure of exactly what I wanted, but I quickly found a small heart with stylistic wings design thats…
10/10 definitely coming back
Sake amazing work! Did a great job explaining the after care and overall great experience
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!
David did an amazing job on my first tattoo. I was super nervous and unsure of exactly what I wanted. He created a beautiful piece that I love. He was also incredibly patient with me and answered all of my questions with kindness.
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
Amazing. Super happy with the service and quality of the tattoos. My sister, mom and I each requested a small tattoo. We were able to walk in and each pick our own designs at various levels of complexity. I enjoyed David and his professionalism. He was very professional and friendly. The studio was clean,…
Great experience! We walked into the shop on a Thursday and were able to get two small, fine line tattoos right away. I love my little sand dollar done by Erick!
I can't say enough good things about David and the team at San Diego Tattoo Company. I was on a vacation and decided I wanted to finally get my SD tattoo while in PB. Upon walking in I was greeted from friendly staff who were able to get me to David. David was an enthusiastic artist who had me ready to go within…
My husband and I were visiting from Buffalo and decided to get a tattoo on a spur of the moment
I am in love with my tattoo! David was welcoming and very patient considering the fact I had a late walk in appointment. I really appreciate how he let me stay after closing!
Toast was a great tattoo artist, will definitely be going back to him! He took us in late and still put his full effort in. Definitely recommend
his name was toast, but he did such a good job for mine and my friends Ponyo tattoo I definitely would recommend him and the shop in general. Everyone was so nice and welcoming! definitely coming back!
Erick was super friendly and we were able to walk straight in and get what we wanted done! Honestly the least painful tattoo I’ve ever gotten and explained after care in detail. Would 100% get another tattoo done here!
LOVE this place! My sister got a few tattoos on her hand and I got a belly button piercing, and both guys were super nice!! The service was quick even though we were walk ins. Erik asked my sister lots of questions and provided tons of sizing options to make sure she got exactly what she wanted, and he even offered…
I stopped in for a few birthday tattoos and met David. He was amazing and took his time to get to know exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back for more work. David was so easy to talk with and made my whole experience that much better! Highly recommend!!
If you are a woman, DO NOT GO HERE. This is not a safe environment. I went to San Diego Tattoo Company with a friend, hoping to get a tattoo. We called ahead, and they said they had time for walk-ins. When we arrived, one of the artists was friendly and started helping us right away. But while we were waiting,…
David was my artist for both me and my sister. He was so kind to us both especially since it was our first tattoo. He made sure we were happy with our design and made adjustments as needed. I am so happy with my design. And it was priced very reasonably. I will be returning here for my next tattoo.
Walked in not knowing what i wanted and left with a piece i really love ! David and the rest of the shop were really helpful and welcoming. Will definitely be back! (Scorpion piece)
toast did a great job on my tattoo! was able to walk in with no problem
10/10 David was extremely professional, he was such a great artist. I am DEFINITELY coming back just to see him.
I went here with my cousins so we had a pretty large group but they took us all as walk ins! Erick was lovely and spent about an hour drawing up our 5 designs and each of our tattoo sessions took about 20-30 mins each! The minimum for their shop is $100 and all of ours were very appropriately priced. All the artists…
erick is amazing and executed my tattoo design perfectly!! he was super accommodating to our group of five’
I was walking around PB when I stumbled upon this shop. It was about 1am. I was crossed. But Toast still tatted me. It was great and I have no regerts.
ryan was an incredible artist from start to finish. he welcomed us as walk-ins and took the time to ensure we were completely happy with our designs. his attention to detail and patience made the experience even better. he did a fantastic job on our tattoos and handled our crazy selves like a pro. highly recommend ryan!
Amazing shop, got helped right away and all artists were extremely friendly. Got tattooed by Sake, super chill guy. Will be coming back!
I was actually referred to Erick from another shop as a first timer walk in. I brought a picture of a small drawing my daughter did, and wanted it tattooed on my upper inside of my wrist. Erick helped me size and place the drawing so it was fit to my wrist without compromising the small details in the drawing. As a…
Love the way my tattoo came out and it’s healing very well!
This tattoo exceeded my expectations! Sake was amazing, took his time, and had great attention to detail! I love it and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!
Erick does a great job and is super helpful answering questions regarding tattoo care and cleaning afterwards. Definitely worth your time to check this shop out.
Came in to do the mystery tattoo capsule machine. Got my design which was an amazing one, and the artist did an amazing job tattooing and detailing. Thank you for making my trip an experience to remember
Amazing experience! Toast the tattoo artist is very professional, creative and talented! He did exactly what I wanted and perfected it to my liking! I felt at home at this tattoo shop! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo!
Erick was great! He asked me plenty of questions about what I wanted and gave me advice about my new hand tattoo. He was also very efficient with the tattooing process and was so nice during the process! I will definitely visit again for my next tattoo.
Toast and Sake were amazing and took me and my friends in with welcome arms late at night! Tattoo went smoothly for all of us and just an all around great experience. Would come here again for tattoo or piercings
I was a walk in, As my first tattoo 10/10 experience.
I was walking by the shop with some friends and they asked if anyone wanted tattoos! They were so charismatic and the work looked so good I was sold! I was completely comfortable the whole time and they let my friends hang out right by my side! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
Great walk-in tattoo by Toast! A great traditional tattoo artist
I had a great experience as a walk in where the artist helped me design a tattoo and choose a size. He continuously checked in with me on pain, and after the tattoo was done he went over the edges with a smaller needle to look sharper. It was an overall good experience and I would return.
Literally got 5 fire ass tattoos from David on the same day as a walk in. It was such a chill vibe in there & everyone’s super nice & chill. The line work David does is phenomenal & i will def be coming back for more. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 a bunch of people showed up throughout my time there for tattoos & piercings so it’s def a popular place. 100000/10 😊🔥
Sake was amazing!!!! I came in with a design and executed it so good. Sake is amazing dude with great vibes and you'll have a good time.
Sake is the best!!! sake thanks again for making my vision come to life!! see you soon !
If you want black and gray work David is the guy for the job! He is very dedicated and creative when it comes to art and you won’t be disappointed in the art he puts on your body! 10/10
My best friend and I walked in for a tattoo that we designed over the weekend. They were super friendly and perfected the tattoo design. David was fantastic!
David was awesome! 10/10 work and a great conversation, I will be going back.
David did a great job looks great, has some of the best lines iv seen
Staff is very friendly, David my artist did a fantastic job.
I had the best experience at San Diego Tattoo Co! I was checking out all the tattoo shops on Garnet and felt the best about SD Tattoo. Erick was nice welcoming and personable and made it a great experience all around.
Went in to get my first tattoo, David made my experience easy and comfortable. Love my results definitely going back to add onto my tattoo!
I was a walk in and I only had one hour and Saki was able to design and do a fabulous job with time to spare. I'm very happy with my tattoo and would definitely use Saki in the future.
Very pleased with Thomas's work on my cover-up.
David did an awesome job with the fine line California poppy on my ankle! It’s exactly what I wanted and now it’s my favorite tattoo!
Stopped in with my girlfriends as a walk in & had the most pleasant experience! All the dudes in the shop were so friendly & the vibes were vibing! 10/10 for the music choices & special shoutout to my tattoo artist Erick as well!
The design was perfect and the application was quick. I'm very happy with the outcome
Had a great experience with this shop. A large group of us walked in without an appointment and they were very accommodating. My artist David was easy to work with and did a great job.
I absolutely love the tattoo. Erik is such an amazing artist. It is the reason I will always go to him for any work I need done.
Friendly staff and super helpful guy that did my tattoo!
Came to SD for a festival/vacation and last minute decided on group tattoos. These guys were so accommodating and professional! Can't say enough great things about the entire shop! Great artists and fun people! Professional and clean and sterile to a T
I got tattooed by Eric and had a great experience! Me and my group went in for flash tattoos late on a Friday and everyone in the shop was so nice and was able to get our whole group of 6 done very quickly. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Great vibes. Eric was very patient and moved my stencil many times…
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…
The artists are super helpful and kind. My mother and I got matching tattoos. My mom 80 yrs old it was her first and Eric was so gentle and professional with her. We loved our experience and extremely love our new tattoos❤️❤️
Danny was incredibly professional for piercings. He showed me all the different price points of jewelry but didn’t pressure me to pick the most expensive. Very easy piercing, very little swelling. Erick did my tattoo and he was equally as professional and friendly. Very easy to talk to and was totally willing to make the changes to the design I requested.
Very nice guy and he’s very careful and detailed with his work on you great experience
Eric did a great job for my first tattoo. I am definitely going back for my second and third tattoo. Eric made my first experience smooth sailing.
Just got my first tattoo here. very nice people and great artists. tattoo looks great!
best tattoo i've gotten ! erik was the best artist and super cool ! overall 10/10 experience !
Erick helped me get a tattoo and gave me a good price he’s a chill guy I recommend checking him out 👍🏽
Did piercings for my daughter, service was excellent!!!!!
My wife and I walked in a little after opening with a design in mind. Erick was immediately on top of things for us. He did an amazing job (exceptional line work)! We'll likely swing by again next time we're on vacation!
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.
Great place walked in and was helped took 30 min prep time and 1 1/2 tatoo. Great work. Great personal skills to seamless conversation.
Erick is such a rad artist! Exceptional line work, great patience, and all around a solid experience getting a late night patchwork piece done! Definitely earned a returning customer
Great environment, great artists.
Great guys, really accommodating to a couple of walk-ins. The detail on my little turtle is great. Visit Eric for a fu. Time and you may even get glitter bombed.
Absolutely LOVE this shop. Erick did SUCH an amazing job not only at the tattoo but also making me feel so comfortable. I will definitely be coming back to see Erick and get more work done!
Jake was an amazing tattoo artist, and very sociable, I was there for 8 hours for my mom’s tattoo and my tattoo. Majority of that was conversation with an amazing dude. Would high recommend Jake to anyone who needs new ink!
I worked with Erick to add to an existing tattoo. He was so easy to work with and did a great job of making sure I got what I wanted. Erick is a great artist, I’m really happy with how his work looks!
Got my first tat by the best Erick. Barley felt him doing the tattoo and it came out amazing
Erick did a great job tattooing me and my girlfriend. He was professional and welcoming and laid down some great ink. I'll be going back.
Place was very clean and the tattoo turned out better than I could have ever imagined highly recommend
Erick was awesome. Me and a group came in and he was courteous, professional, and cool as hell. He worked with each person on their desired style/look, and made it happen. Great guy and I’ll be going back.
Erick completed my tattoo, it was a tattoo that i was writing myself. It took me forever to write it, and actually like my handwriting for the tattoo lol. He was very patient through out the whole process and I really love my tattoo. The experience made the tattoo even better. Definitely recommend this place & Erick!
To Erick! Thank you soooo very much for the phenomenal job you did on both of our tattoos! You went out of your way to make them both custom and extra special to each of us and I can't tell you enough how much we appreciate it!! We enjoy them everyday!! Thank you for sharing your talent and expertise with us! We…
Did an amazing job loving the new tattoo would definitely go back! Appreciate it Erick !
Eddie talked to me when I was just cruising down the street and was such a cool dude I decided to cancel an appointment for new ink somewhere else and go to him. The atmosphere is dope and they made me feel relaxed the whole time. The leg piece I got is taking a few sessions but the pricing is compared to the work…
best tattoo experience i’ve had, jake was so kind and made me laugh a ton, completely distracted me from the fact that i was being tattooed. i definitely plan to go back (:
Erick did my tattoo and did an amazing job. He’s super friendly and rad. Jake did my husbands tattoo and killed it too. We will definitely be going back when we are back in California.
Jake was very professional and did a great job with the tattoo! He was very inviting, personable and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!!
I absolutely love the service I recieved here. Eddie helped me by taking me in as a walk-in and got straight to my turning my dream tattoo into reality. He does fast, great quality work and he is very kind and passionate about what he does. The entire shop and crew was great vibes, very attentive to clients, and…
Recently came in to re-open my septum piercing but ended my night before going underway with a new tattoo and piercing. Everyone in the shop was friendly and Eddie did an amazing job with the last minute silly goose tattoo. Definitely will be trusting him with more random tattoos in the future and hopefully something bigger and better.
Most flawless easy tattoo experience of my 13 tattoos I have, Jake was amazing and really took time to make sure I had what I wanted as where other shops I have felt rushed and that’s not a great feeling when you are getting something permanent done. The shop is clean and laid back and Jake is a really easy person…
Erik was very welcoming, great, cool vibes, clean shop, made sure everything was comfortable. Highly recommended!!! We will be going back ASAP l!!
Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Jake! My partner and I wanted to immortalize our unforgettable two-week California trip, which ended in beautiful San Diego, and Jake exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we walked in, Jake's warm energy and welcoming vibe put us at ease. The entire process was…
Eddie captured exactly what I wanted just by a conversation! I absolutely love my tattoo, definitely coming back with more ideas for us to explore!
Awesome artist, awesome dude. Appreciate u Eddie!
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)
Been wanting a tribute to my Irish heritage for some time. Was fortunate that Eddie was available when I walked in without an appointment. The studio is very clean and well maintained. Eddie and I worked together to find and select the right design. Eddie was very professional and the whole process from the moment…
Jake did a crazy job!! Couldn’t be happier.
Went in on a whim with my friends to get tattoos. It’s only been my 4th tattoo, but Jake has definitely been the best artist. He really knows what he’s doing and he’s a great guy on top of that. 10/10 I’m trying to get Jake to do my next tattoo.
Jake is an excellent tattoo artist that I have reccomend to everyone I know. His line work and shading is SO clean I am thoroughly impressed with his work. The execution and style of his work is nothing but awesome and I will be going back for more of his art. He is also very friendly and personable that you can…
I came in for my first tattoo and Jake was amazing. He talked to me throughout, and made the experience quick and painless. Couldn’t have asked for a better first tattoo experience.
Erick was awesome! It was my first tattoo and he walked me step by step through the entire process and made sure I had all the info for cleanliness and upkeep after we were done! I’ll be coming back for sure.
I had an idea of the tattoo I wanted prior to going but I did not have a good example of it. In fact, the example I brought was far from what I was envisioning in my mind. Eddie did a great job of patiently showing me designs until we found the one that was in my head. I love the result. It’s elegant and artistic and was done with great care.
Jake did a great job on my first tattoo. Everyone there was super cool and fun to talk to. Definitely recommend
Got my first tattoo here! Eric my artist was amazing, he listened to my ideas and helped make something I was proud to have on my body. He was really patient and reassured me through the whole process, even when I needed to take breaks he was really comforting and understanding. These are some really good people…
Love my tattoo, Edward did an amazing job!
Great art and work from Erick! Had an easy time at every step, from planning to the tattooing itself, with how knowledgeable and accommodating he was!
Will definitely be going back if I decide to get another tattoo. Eddie was great and gave me a great first tattoo experience. I am so happy with how my tattoo turned out. The staff were very friendly and helpful!!
Erick is a great artist! He took my boyfriend and I as walk ins, helped create 2 beautiful sketches of what we wanted and made it happen before the shop closed for the night.
Got exactly what I asked for n more best ink I got on my body hands down I would recommend Eddie for any realism / custom letter tattoos or any thing of that sort
Amazing place and people
My best friend and I got small tattoos on a whim at San Diego Tattoo, Co. on our last night in SD. Jake was our tattooist! Right away, he was super friendly, talented, and personable! He made us feel right at home and was fun to talk to! 😊
I Had Ediberto for my first tattoo, he was very welcoming and professional, tattoo turned out exactly how I wanted!
Cameron did an excellent job on mine & my husbands tattoos. He was friendly & the whole visit was filled with laughs & a good time! He was really professional & listened to my concerns & was not at all bothered when I asked for areas to be fixed. 10/10 would recommend this place! Thomas was hilarious too! & if he…
Me and my daughter wanted matching tattoos. We called and got right in! Even stayed an hour past closing to finish both! Awesome atmosphere and Niko was amazing!! Definitely recommend San Diego Tattoo!
Very happy with the new ink Jake did! Easy to work with too!
This was my first tattoo. Jake did a great job walking me through the process and making it memorable. It’s just day 2 and people are already asking where I had it done!!
Visiting from out of town stopped in after some research , Thomas was very professional , skilled and quick . Tattoos can be nerve racking for some people but He puts your comfort first , highly recommend.
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
I had a great experience here and with Niko. I randomly walked in with my sister and baby and wanted to get a scorpion. Niko was very accommodating and super nice and calm. He was cool to me and my sister (who ended up getting a tattoo as well) and my child. He was an awesome artist and I absolutely LOVE the piece I…
Niko was amazing. Stumbled across this shop out of sheer luck and will definitely be going back again.
Everyone seemed pretty chill, I got a small tattoo done. Jake and Nick were super helpful with the sizing and placement. Will definitely visit them again if I take a trip back to San Diego.
Jake is one of the best artist I know and it’s always the best tattoo experience when I go in only person that will be doing my tattoos from now on
By far the best/ most neat tattoo out of many I have.
Damon has done multiple of my tattoos and always does an amazing job! He is friendly, makes you feel comfortable, and keeps conversation flowing throughout the process. He always makes sure the placement and design is exactly what/where you want. Definitely will continue going to him in the future!
They are amazing!! Super nice place and great employees!
Damien was super chill and fun during my tattoo session. Ended up getting two tattoos. Definitely going again to him he absolutely killed it!
All the artists were super chill and Nick did a great job. Chill vibes and good artists are part of the best tattoo shop in San Diego!
The best tattoo I’ve ever received! Nick was very professional and super talented! I highly recommend Nick and this shop.
Niko did an awesome job on my tattoos! He was so precise and thorough, and my lettering couldn’t have turned out cleaner! Highly recommend dropping in this shop!
Very good hand work and overall good experience
On April 29, I got a tattoo done by Nick. He was really kind and professional and talked me through the process. This was my first professional tattoo and it was a great experience. Everyone there was really nice and attentive. Thank you! :)
It was my first time getting a tattoo at the old age of 24. Damon was super cool and respectful! He was very professional and made me feel comfortable. He grabbed a privacy screen and provided supplies for me to mask my chest. (As I wanted a tattoo on my side near my ribs.) My boyfriend and I were very pleased and it was a memory we will never forget.
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.
Came in and immediately got help from Ivan! He was so nice and so fast! Tattoo costed $100 which I don’t think is bad at all with the quality and the customer service I received!
Called and got a walk in. Very nice and texted me info and questions about what I wanted and helped me find my needs for the design. Went to the shop, and the artist killed it. I had some questions just for being curious, and he was happy to give an answer. I’m turning this tattoo into a sleeve now, but it still…
Had a great time getting a tattoo here. Staff was awesome and the space was very clean. Nick was very professional and did a fantastic job.
Was a walk in, and walked out very happy!
Damon was so awesome! He was very quick and super personable! 10/10 would get tatted by him again!
First tattoo would recommend great people and atmosphere dope tattoos 👌
It was a last-minute decision for my friend and I had to go and get tattoos. We checked out the reviews called San Diego tattoo and they were able to get us in. Cameron did a great job and I would definitely recommend seeing him. Everyone there was super sweet and fun to talk to.
I walked into this place the guys were super friendly and chill, Joel was my artist and got me in super fast. The tattoo is healing great too!! Fs coming back
I am so obsessed with my tattoo. The line work is amazing! My artist name was Cam. He made me feel right at home and did an amazing job. He gave me exactly what he wanted and I will be going back to get more from here!
Got my first tattoo here and they definitely made it a great experience!
Got us in really late even after closing time and still did amazing work thanks! Ps Thomas did my tattoo.
Came in for some late night ink and piercings, and they were so friendly and flexible and also super talented. Will be my first choice next time I'm in town!!
Bug is awesome. My tattoo wasn’t intricate by any means but I saw a lot of his work. He did a super Cool one while I was waiting…forgot to get a photo!! Very impressive!!! Highly suggest Bug!!!
My sister, mom, and I got matching tattoos with Bug! We all love him, he’s great! My mom wanted something a little different for her tattoo and he was able to design it for her on the spot. My sister and I decided to get a second tattoo last minute and he accommodated it!
This was my first tattoo and I am loving it! I was visiting San Diego from Alaska and wanted to bring home a piece of it with me because I love it there. My auntie and I stepped in and I was like, “I want a tattoo but I don’t know what”, haha. Bug was very accommodating and kindly shared his art and ideas based off…
I got my tattoo from Cam and he was really amazing in speed and ability. This was my first tattoo and the line work and shading were really great! There was a lot of communication to make sure I got what I wanted and the process was super easy and fun! The shop itself had a great atmosphere and they were able to take me and my friends in as walk ins!
I went in as a walk in with the bois and got a absolutely phenomenal tattoo, VERY good pricing for the quality. Outstanding service.
Bug was the best super patient, fun to talk to, and did an absolute fantastic tattoo!
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!
me and my friend didn’t even plan to gets tats but we walked in and just got something that def had a story for the beginning of our friendship. Cameron made this experience really fun and super quick. His service was done beautifully and we just enjoyed talking to him and the rest of the artists there. Such a chill…
Thomas was great. Super fast, very knowledgeable and had a great vibe. Enjoyed my time and love my little tattoo
Very cool place. i was able to get my first tattoo here and am loving it. The service was great and they were quick but also very accurate. I had scheduled my appointment and was able to start on time, but also saw countless people come and do walk-ins very easily with very minimal wait.
Recomiendo mucho este lugar mi tatuador valenciano es una persona muy amable me gusto su comportamiento y estuvo concentrado en mi tatuaje diez de diez
Cam was awesome 👏 dainty tattoo approved 🤍
Thomas was very attentive and very helpful when doing my tattoo. He drew the exact tattoo I wanted and then tattooed me in record time. He was very helpful. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Got a tat from Ronin. Gave him idea and he ran with it turned out better than what I planned. Good shop with cool people.
Me and bunch of my buddy’s came into this place and I got my first tattoo along with 4 of my friends got some aswell and turned out amazing, everyone there is very professional and kind.
Had a great experience, Ivan was great to be around and super flexible with price and made it a great first tattoo experience
This is the second time I come to this place with Ronin to get my tattoo. They’re clean, responsive to customer needs and will accommodate while you’re getting work done. I can come to Ronin, present an idea and he’ll work to bring your idea to life until you feel ready and comfortable with the design. The eye to…
What a great experience! The four in our family had Cam, and were well taken care of the entire day. From first tattoos to detailed. Great job!
Very chill environment, especially getting my first tattoo here was the best choice.
Got this piece done today by Bug and also got another from him about a month ago and he killed it both times! Bug is killer but everyone in the shop knows what they are doing! I have complete confidence in Bug to use his artistic eye and talent to make sure everything comes out perfectly!
I got my first tattoo from Ronin. He is very professional and polite, and his passion for tattooing is infectious. Ronin was able to squeeze in my appointment before a flight, without compromising on tattoo quality. When on Garnet Ave close to Pacific Beach, look for Grimmrose tattoo, and ask for him. The tattoo…
I got my first tattoo with the artist Bug at Grimmrose. The whole experience was great! The place was clean and he is super talented. I was a little nervous, but he talked me through the whole process. He was very professional and so nice. He explained what position and size on my ankles the tattoos would look…
My Tattoo Is Wonderful!!! I Am Currently Getting My Whole Leg Done BY Ivan. He make sure you are comfortable and very fun person to speak about pretty much anything. Very Kind
Great experience open late. Got a tat with my girlfriend and shop was very friendly. My artist bug did a wonderful job and I love my tat. Will definitely be back.
Really chill people, Bug tattooed me and was super nice. Would always check up on me to make sure I was okay. Tattoo turned out really good!
Best experience I had getting a tattoo I only got two now but they treated me and my family with the utmost respect
This place is awesome! The customer service and environment are exceptional, and Ivan, the artist is incredibly talented! I’m going back in a few months to continue my leg sleeve. Highly recommend!
Shop was clean and everyone was nice. Ivan did a great job on my tattoo
I got a tattoo by Bugs and he did a fantastic job. I talked to him about my idea and he really brought it to life, his insights were great and it turned out better than I had hoped!
My friend and I came in here for some matching tattoos. Everyone in the shop was really friendly. Bug is obviously a very talented artist, and we appreciated that he was happy to do something simple for us! He was really nice to talk to as well. 10/10 would go back!
Cam is super cool, chill dude. The session went by quickly and not as painful as I imagined. He took over the project from another artist and made some last minute changes to the art right before our session that actually turned out great considering the short notice. Will definitely be getting more work done with…
I enjoyed the quick service I received as a walk in, and was very impressed with how smooth the process was. I would definitely recommend!
Amazing, loved it
Great place Great artist Great vibes would Definitely let them give me a face tattoo!
I came in for a walk in tattoo and waited much longer than expected, but when I finally got my turn, Cam did a really amazing job communicating and making me feel comfortable. He drew out exactly the tattoo I wanted and got it done beautifully.
Great experience at this shop, me and my sister were welcomed right in by Cameron, nick, and Thomas and it was great vibes and great tattoos . We will definitely be coming back here soon.
For my son's 18th birthday we wanted to get coordinating tattoos and Cameron did an amazing job making that a reality.
Very nice experience, great tattoo, artists were all very nice and welcoming :)
Customer service was great!!! Love the shop and the tats are dope would definitely recommend and plan on going again soon
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!
Grimmrose is an awesome shop, and everyone who works there is fantastic & very welcoming. I went in a few weeks ago and got my nipples pierced by DANNY. He did an AMAZING job. He was quick, professional and really friendly. Danny made me feel really comfortable. My piercings have started healing up really nicely &…
Very talented, clean, and friendly!! Was very patient!!
Cam killed it on my tattoo, and was a pleasure to deal with.
Very great atmosphere, dedicated artists. Cam did excellent work on a walk in piece for me. 10/10
