SD Tattoo

I took my six year old daughter here to get pierced after her insistence on doing so. We were able to walk in and be seen within a couple of hours. Our piercer was so patient and kind, and very quick. My daughter said it wasn’t that bad at all! It was expensive but definitely worth it to have her ears pierced professionally and in a clean and safe environment. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do the same.

Absolutely excellent work (see photo). VERY pricey, but the quality is perfect. These are true artists. The facility itself is also clean and well managed. I definitely recommend this as the place to go for tattoos in San Diego.

The place was awesome and clean. Alex did a great job on my tattoo. Had an idea of what I wanted and he made it even better.

I got my tattoo done by Alex F and half of it was started at another shop and the other half was done at SD tattoo. I asked for watercolor and showed reference pictures but he didn't do watercolor and I didn't like how it ended up. I was hoping it would grow on me but it didn't. Since SD tattoo said they would do free removal if you don't end up liking the tattoo, I asked if they would at least pay for half of removal since I only got half of it done here and I was told the boss wouldn't approve it and wasn't given a reason. I asked to speak with him and several days have passed and I still haven't had any communication. Really disappointed with my experience here.

I am giving this review from personal experience with meeting the owners that came to my place of work. Amazing people and refreshing positive energy. These are people that really value artists and would hands down create a beautiful experience while getting a mark on your body to be remembered and also tell the story you want. I will be a customer I promise that. Owners like them are very passionate about the business and very proud of their artists. .. it’s rare but there are people out there like them. I am thankful to have met you all.

I had the most amazing experience here!!! I was getting my first tattoo and was helped so kindly by Nena at the front desk. She shared her ideas and also recommended my artist. Matheus was the BEST. He specialized in what I was looking for, sat with me for an hour to perfect my design and brought his own creativity to it. He answered all my questions, didn’t stress me out and made the whole thing fun. Also the tattoo came out amazing. HIGHLY recommend 10/10

Went there twice. The first time I had my tattoo artist swapped without notice the day of the appointment. All the communication with the original artist was pointless. I thought I would give this shop another chance and went again a couple months later and the same thing happened. They gave me a random artist's email to talk to about the tattoo but the day of the appointment I received another random person that was definitely a beginner and was charged the full price for a mediocre quality tattoo. Deposits non-refundable.

This was my experience last saturday. I went in for piercings. I was a walk in there was a long wait but I was determined to get them done that day. I asked for a consultation I was told I'd have one but they did not. Finally after over an hour waiting I got to go in and talk with the girl. She was sweet pretty young didn't have too much experience but I was here no turning back now. So we get my first piercing done and the girl asks me to get up and look in the mirror to see if I like the placement. I try to get up and the chair flips over knocking me into the wall and I'm on the ground exposed embarrassed. Now the girl gets help. I get up. My head throbbing in pain from the piercing too. And 2 guys come in to the room one picks up the chair the other one states I have to sit on the seat part so it doesn't flip? No concern for me being hurt. Same thing with the manager no concern for my well being at all. The only person concerned was the piercing girl that was still helping me. So I have to get the other piercing I'm determine to get this done. And as soon as I'm done I get my instructions of care and rush out to pay and get out I feel embarrassed mocked and definitely there was no concern for my well being at all. I do not recommend them because of that issue. The girl is a sweetheart she did nothing wrong to my knowledge. It took me years to get my nipples done and the swelling hasn't gone down but that is the most embarrassing painful experience and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. No one checked to see if I was ok. My head was throbbing my back hurts but wow. Crazy experience.

They were awesome, he gave me a unique piece and plan on going back to see him! Honestly couldn’t recommend this place more. Everyone is super nice, it’s clean and from my time spent there all the artists were awesome, courteous, an all around great place.

Got two piercings here and they are constantly causing me problems , I’ve been pierced before and they’ve always been fine and I’ve never had issues. The piercings I got here are always irritated and I got so frustrated I just took one out (your not supposed to do this but I kinda had a mental breakdown over how ugly it looked) and now I’m debating doing the same for the other one because no matter how often I clean them. Like I said I’ve never had this issue with any piercings I’ve gotten at any other piercing place . Yes, I kept both my piercings extremely clean, didn’t touch them with unclean hands, didn’t snag them etc. it’s not normal for them to be constantly irritated like this. Now my nose has permanent scars on the inside and out and it’s caused me a lot of insecurity . Also way too overpriced here . Not a good experience /:
