Went there on a whim to get some more piercings in my ears with friends. I was nervous but Mija took amazing care of me. She created a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere and made me feel so at ease. My piercings look amazing and were priced fairly. (Make sure to tip your piercer/tattoo artist) The actual piercings themselves were quick and painless. 11/10 experience. If you want a piercing, go here.

Mija was SO awesome!! She went above and beyond as a piercer! She found me the exact nose ring that worked perfect for me. I had been to a handful of different places and couldn’t find what I was looking for and my nose ring had been uncomfortable. After going through multiple other rings, I’m so happy I found Mija to help me out.

She was extremely sweet and genuine and made the whole experience more than just going to get a nose ring. We talked through different options and this is by far the best one I have had. I really appreciate her help and her being so personable!

Next time I plan on getting a new piercing, I will 100% come here. I’ll send my friends this way as well. I am very happy with my experience with Mija and would highly recommend!

Today I got my second tattoo from Chris Ahlers. He is the reason I went back to chronic tattoo. He has a passion for both art and tattooing that is captivating to witness. He is kind, has a gentle hand, and absolutely impeccable line work. His patient and pressure-free, and won’t start working until the mock up is EXACTLY what you want. If you are looking to have a real quality tattoo experience in San Diego, look no further. Chris Ahlers is a master of his craft, and a wonderful person.

A friend recommended me this place after he got his tat and let me tell you; this was such a great experience. I had a small Halloween piece done by Sergio. I hadn't had a tattoo done in 10 years so I was really nervous in the beginning but he was so friendly and kept the conversation going that at one point I forgot I was having a tattoo done 😅 Will definitely be coming back soon for my next tattoo!🎃💜

Loved the vibe of the shop, it was nice we were able to just walk in and Nicolas took my daughter to get a rook piercing. She has other piercings by other shops but it was by far the most comfortable she had felt getting a piercing. He was friendly, knowledgeable, super clean and through. We will definitely be coming back to Nicolas for all of our piercing needs

Chris created my Spirit animal on my back!
He definitely has a way with color and flowers!
The first session was done here, and the touchup was done in my home state of Utah.
Honestly pictures don't do it justice.
Very awesome people here, doing great work!
Definitely has a friendly and clean atmosphere!
Seems like a good place for a walk-in, although parking might be difficult.

Took me as a walk-in, sat down almost immediately. I explained to Dennis what I was looking for and he exceeded my expectations. Got in to a bad car accident 3 days ago and so this tattoo means everything to me. Thanks Dennis! 🙏🏽

Dennis is one of the most amazing tattoo artist there he took care of me and my boyfriend very well and the tattoos are one of my favorite tattoos that I’ve ever gotten. You bring him an idea and he’ll turn it into reality. It’s amazing. Anyone looking for a very professional clean tattoo I would 100% recommend Dennis .
Mija changed my cartilage to a hoop and cleaned up my other piercings and did a really good job. She taught me how to meditate as well and learn how to cope with my anxiety. I think she should be had piercer because she’s one of the best piercers I’ve ever met. The entire experience she was very comfortable to be around and calm me down when I was nervous and taught she me how to meditate through my anxiety. She also knows any question about piercings like the back of her hand. out of all the piercers I’ve gone to in my life I’ve never had such a great experience or felt so comfortable with my piercer. I 100% recommend going to Mija for any piercings or any piercing questions.

My boyfriend and I got tattoos here and it was such a pleasant experience, everyone was so nice and chill. Overall super happy with our tattoos and experience! Definitely coming back
