Great experience my wife and I got the exact tattoos we wanted and had a great conversation with the fellas taking care of us. Will definitely come back when in San Diego👍🏽
Amir was fantastic!! He was very attentive and during the consult and the tattoo came out even better than expected. It is my second one, first one with color, and I absolutely love it!! Highly recommend. 💪🦊
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 🤘🤘
my new favorite shop for sure! recently got a tattoo by Jedi, awesome dude! super chill, got my idea perfectly. i love the amount of detail he went into, he did a great job! cant wait to come back
Very gentle handed and respectful and reassuring. Will be coming back :)
Absolutely love Jedi’s work, favorite artist’s work that I have gotten! He was super cool and easy to talk to and got the vision for what I wanted right away! Highly recommend, he’d be my new artist if I lived locally!! Fairly priced and very nice.
Came in wanting a tattoo for sure and maybe ear piercings. Got paired with Matt and the tattoo and experience was great. Right after that, Isaac came in and was available for my ear lobe piercings. Also a really nice experience even though that was what I was more nervous about. Both of those guys were super quick…
Jedi was so awesome I love my tattoo so much! It was done so quickly and professionally!!
I had such a great experience with Jedi! The whole process was smooth from beginning to end, and I absolutely love how my tattoo turned out. I’m so happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Jedi to anyone looking for a great tattoo experience!
Great Response Time and loved the work done! Walked in and got exactly what we wanted😎
Jedi was amazing. This was my first tattoo and he was stellar at calming my nerves and talking to me throughout the entire process. My piece came out great as his attention to detail is unmatched. He was also super patient with all of my questions and helped me understand post care as well. Would def recommend Jedi for beginners or experienced folks!
Kip did an awesome job with my tattoo!
It was a great experience, the guy that did my tattoo did an amazing job. He was very professional and kind. Would definitely recommend!!!
The best tattoo experience I have ever had. Damon was easy going and did great work! I am so happy with how it turned out.
I had a great experience and I will be back for more ink!
Beautiful work by Nick, I love the way my tattoo turned out, it was exactly what I wanted!
The artist who did my tattoo got the entire design perfect and was a true professional I love how my new ink came out shout out Jedi
Great staff- thanks to Jedi and the rest of the team for making my first tattoo fast, easy, and as pain-free as possible. Especially impressed considering I was only a walk-in.
A little bit of a wait to get my daughter’s industrial piercing, but worth it! While waiting, I decided to add on to my right shoulder tattoo (spontaneously), and Matthew and I worked together to design the add-on. He obviously did most of the design 😄 but it’s perfect! When my daughter was called in for her…
Phenomenal artists especially David he took so much time and effort to put together my tat and was amazing during and after putting it on.
