Diego Tattoo is simply the best! Diana and Carie are always so professional and caring. The entire experience from start to finish is top notch. They take time to listen, create a unique tattoo, and always make you feel at home at the shop. They take such pride in providing original and beautiful forever art. Diana is so charismatic, and does so much amazing work for her community. They are always helping charity organizations like the Chiuaua Rescue. The entire team is so talented, and great people. I can't wait to get my next piece of work from Diego Tattoo!

This is just small portion of the work done. I was very satisfied with the way it all turned out! My artist, Cari, was very nice, asked what I wanted and what the background of my idea was. Gave very quick responses when I was scheduling. My first tattoo with color π

Make sure you have your own design (or a simple design in mind) when you approach Justin. He made my consultation appointment in the middle of someone else's tattoo appointment. When she was ready for a break, he set down his gun and came over for a quick chat. It lasted less than ten minutes - we never even sat down. He didn't ask for any references photos, though I sent some anyway, and he didn't take any notes on what I wanted. Just a quick chat, a $40 nonrefundable deposit, and adios. I had a bad feeling from the jump, and I was right. Three weeks later came my appointment and the designs weren't at all what I asked for. I asked for a skull, he drew a fully-fleshed head. I asked for something to go on the inner arm, he drew big thigh pieces. I love Justin's style and am sad I wasn't able to be tattooed by him, but I lost confidence in him at this point. I felt like all my requests had gone completely unheard, and it made me uncomfortable to be tattooed by someone who was so clearly on a different page than me.

LOVE this shop. Diana is such a sweetheart and I really appreciate her working with me on the scheduling since I was only in town a few days. On future trips to the area, I will definitely go to her. She brought my Lilo & Stitch piece to life and added a great dimension to it. Seriously, THANK YOU!!!

Landon is the MAN!!!!!! Best work Iβve ever seen done on another human being! Love his style his vibe and efficiency. The place was super clean the music was great and the place was so organized I feel it made it so much easier for him to work. It was my first tattoo and I plan on spending a lot of money here in the future if that says anything about the experience.

Parking in San Diego is never fun but working with Rocky was worth the effort. Love her artwork and she's so much fun. Wish I could give her a greater gratuity but I had to get to work. Next time, for sure I will stay longer to 100% it. Thanks Rocky!

This place is truly a gem π!!! As soon as I walked in, I wanted to live there. Itβs an immaculate treasure chest of insanely beautiful art, wildly talented artists & great energy. As well as, friendly, professional & engaging staff.
My heart went a flutter upon opening the door and crossing the threshold, I could not believe the beauty and positivity surrounding me.
The muse, Diego, for which this establishment pays homage to is surely alive within. I just wanted to sit with a coffee and bask in the benevolent presence of Diegoβs spirit within all of the art.
Aside from this, I was ecstatic to get a tooth gem from Moni. Her humble, warm, welcoming presence is coupled with both unparalleled communication and competency.
I left feeling so happy and grateful. Additionally, I have been ensnared by the splendor and magic that tooth gems bring to oneβs life. (Thank you Moni!)
In sum, this place is-for lack of a better word, AMAZING!!!ππππ
