I don't think I'll go to another shop in San Diego. Jedi was the most professional tattoo artist I've come across. You had better believe ill be coming back 🤘🤘
Boutta have dude sleeve my entire arm
Sideshow is awesome! I have been wanting to get my favorite Dinosaur tattooed for some time now and was struggling to find an artist I was comfortable and confident in. I stumbled in to sideshow on a random day and Beth was there to greet me. I told her about my idea and she seemed super excited about it. She was…
Bethany did SUCH A GREAT JOB! She was friendly, light handed & accommodating. I loved the space she held for me and allowed space for breaks during our 5 hour session. I recommend her totally! 10/10
Walked in to get a mystery tattoo from their gumball machine to add to my patchwork sleeve , was with a stencil on and in a chair with in 30 minutes of arriving and done with the tattoo and hour ish later . Beth did a great job with it and was super kind and lovely to talk to! Would go back again!
Found this place through a friend, and i absolutely loved it! Great and friendly environment, jedi took me in and created my piece. I love my new tat, its everything i wanted it to be and more! Def coming back soon. 10/10 recommend
Really enjoy coming here. Everyone always seems down to earth and chill. Good place for piercings and tattoos. Would definitely recommend.
Beth was a straight queen! She designed an awesome design just for me and tatted it beautifully. The tat healed perfectly too!
My go to tattoo shop. Clean and professional work.
Amazing Tattoo Shop. Jedi does great work & honestly should charge more for his work. The environment was awesome and all the guys working there are super cool people
I had a wonderful experience at this shop. I have a 1/4 sleeve, maybe 1/2 depending on how it is counted. I count it as the only one I have. It is a memorial tattoo celebrating my late wife's and my lives together for 31 years. I miss her dearly. Bethany is my go to artist. She started this work about 5 years ago…
Beth was awesome, had everything ready to go when I arrived. My piece came out better than I had envisioned, she’s an amazing artist. Very clean shop and friendly environment.
Jedi was very professional and good at what he does. I will 100% be coming back with business and become a recurring customer.
Got my ear pierced and a tattoo on my forearm, everyone was incredibly friendly, professional and efficient! 10/10 will be returning for my next tattoo!
Jedi did you have and beyond with my tattoo I am so in love with it I can’t wait to go back for more pieces he is the most amazing artist.
Having Jedi do my tattoo was awesome! Super understanding of the tattoo I wanted, very friendly, and super cool the environment there was really cool and inviting!
All around an amazing experience I got a half sleeve done , Jadd was my artist and it can out amazingly never been happier definitely would recommend for anyone who is interested in getting a tattoo to go here
Jadd has done all of my tattoos since October of 2020 and there’s no one else I’d rather go to. My whole right arm will be finished by him soon. He does a great job scheduling, tattoo, and communicating during the tattoo. There’s no one else I would refer friends to out here in San Diego to get tattoos from.…
