SD Tattoo

Gus did an absolute amazing job on my tattoo! It's so beautiful and detailed 😍

Went in on my birthday and got a scorpion tattoo with a couple of Rose's on my ankle/leg, it was better than I expected! My tattoo artist Fabian was extremely accommodating and patient with me and my fiance as we altered around a couple of things. He was super professional extreamly nice and I love his artwork that I now have forever. He gave me exactly what I wished for but even better. If I were you... I'd ask for him!👌👍

KYRA! She was amazing!! Got my FIRST ever piercing here which was a septum, she explained what it would be like, the process etc. Very quick, pain free and simple. Barely gave me any time to overthink it. Will be going back to her for my earlobes. Thank you Kyra!!

Probably the worst tattooing experienced I've had so far. I walked in to get a classic dagger through a rose flash tattoo. The prices are ridiculous first of all, I paid $300 for a tattoo that took an hour. I got tatted by the Russian artist (can't remember his name) and it was horrific. This was the most painful tattoo I've got so far and he litteraly butchered my arm, I was bleeding so much when he put the foil on my arm. He didn't speak a single word in the entire hour it took him, and when I asked him something he just answered with one single word, as if he was bored and just wanted to get the job done as fast as possible. Pathetic.
Same when wiping off the ink : he pressed so hard every single time, and the paper towel was super dry so it ripped my skin off, as painful as the actual tattoo. I'm sure the other artists are very cool from what I saw and heard and the reception is very nice, but this has still been my worst and most painful experience so far. Would not recommend this artist.
$300 to get my arm butchered, no thanks.
2 stars is because the job is well done (I hope at least, it seems a little bit deep but I'll give it a few days).

Kyra was my piercer today! She did a super good job talking me through the process and aftercare. She took her time to make sure my piercings were straight and I was happy with them. Very fun and sweet! SD tattoo is very clean, organized, and professional as well!

The earrings we bought from them. ame out 3 times within a month. The plastic backing that came with the titanium earrings for $99 came off so easily. Then to make sure it doesnt fall off, my daughter pushed the backing too deep and cause infection. We called SDTattoo to let them know what happened to the plastic backing and they said they only had changed to titanium backings and that we would have to buy a new set of backing. I would expect better customer service having gone to SD tattoo for ear piercing and earrings. Plus, I would want better quality titanium earrings since we paid $99.

I called this place because my 6 year old wanted her ear pierced and our appointment somewhere else fell through. I had no idea this was like a tattoo/piercing factory! Our appointment was at 6:20pm on a Saturday (same day appointment), and it was so crowded, it was insane! The receptionists seemed overwhelmed (or just lacking customer service skills? Not friendly and just rushing everyone), going from one person to the other, they also didn't seem to know we had an appointment. I can't believe we drove 25 mins for this, as I also had a very tired baby with me. It took over 40 minutes for our turn! If we had known it would be this way (and so hectic) we would never have gone. Also, we were quoted $120 for both ears including jewelry. Our previous place (highly rated piercing/tattoo shop) charge $40 for both ears (no jewelry I'm sure) but I assumed the $120 would be somewhat worth it. No, we had to pay a total of $164 (because they also charge $5 for use of credit card! This was also not disclosed on the phone) to include a nicer pair of earrings (because what 6 year old wants the boring pair?) that looks like it cost $10. They don't even include any aftercare products (a sample would be nice for the first day), they just hastily handed me a brochure that was printed upside down. Oh and it took quite a long time for someone to notice we were trying to check out. No eye contact just rush rush rush. We headed out of the shop at 7:45pm!! It was awful and I would never go there for a tattoo or anything else.

I feel so sad, I wanted her experience to be special...

The only positive (and reason for 3 stars instead of 0) was our piercer, Rich. He was great with my daughter and did a good job. Experienced and professional.

Edit: George got back to me about this issue very quickly, and gave me a partial refund. He was incredibly helpful and understanding of my frustrations. I will be changing the stars from one to four because I do appreciate that the issue has been resolved for me.

They need to figure out their internal communication. I called to see if they had time for a walk in and was assured that they were wide open. Via text I communicated to the lady that I wanted a tattoo that had several elements to it. I sent a reference photo that had part of what I wanted and was the style I wanted. She quoted me $450 for the piece. I went in and it didn't seem like she had relayed any info to the people who were working there, the tattoo artist was just given the reference photo that I sent and was told that was all I wanted done. He didn't have time to make the design I wanted and get me tattooed before his next appointment, so I told him that just that part of it was fine for now. So for $450 you can get a three inch stencil that wasn't even an original drawing done. This was not the artists fault, he was just not told what I was actually there for. All in all the actual quality of the tattoo is good, but I would definitely go somewhere less disorganized if I had a chance to redo.

Nice shop, very sleek and professional. I'm very happy with our results. That said, keep an eye on the time your artist starts/stops. At $200/hr it's rather important.

Place was very relaxing and tattoo artists had a light hand while tattooing and didn't rush the art work
