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 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.

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.

Had a few pieces done by SD Tattoo and they are all phenomenal. He’s also a very friendly and personable guy (who digs great music) and I really like the atmosphere of the shop

I went to get the piercing removed as I was having pain and issues with it since I got it pierced there over two months ago and they told me it was going to be 30$ to remove the jewelry that takes two seconds. Like seriously they have the worst customer service possible. What happen to common courtesy and helping someone that was seen and spent money in this location to begin with will never use there services again.

Their piercing from a friend and I experience has been a nightmare from hell! If I could attach pictures I'd show you how the jewelry has tarnished. The jewelry was bent in places it shouldn't have been. It has now been caught on a towel and it sliced my nose 3mm & on the inside its embedded into my skin. Having it removed has turned into a three ring circus. No one wants to touch this from the ER, FD & multiple piercings places local to me. When I reached out via IG. It was we can't help then after seeing photos come in & we can help. I love 4 hrs away and am not traveling again to a place that didn't do basic needs of placing jewelry. I wouldn't suggest to anyone to go to this place for business after what I've been through. I paid over 100$ for this piercing plus tip. Now more to fix the issue. I should atleast get a refunds for not having the service I paid for done correctly & was sold cheap jewelry that was marked up 200%.

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 piercings done here. They do not take appointments for piercings - waited 2 hours for first visit. I left the second time after waiting 1.5 hours and hearing from front desk there was still 2+ hour wait. Don’t recommend. Go to a real piercing place for piercings.

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.

They do amazing work but they are a little pricey. Artists, piercers and front desk staff are all very polite.

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 /:

Every single time I go here, I have a great experience. I’ve come back many times and I’m pretty sure this won’t be the last.

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.
