Tattoo Shops near Encinitas

“Excellent shop - extremely friendly, CLEAN and professionally run. I just got my ears pierced by Jordyn; quick, easy and wonderful care and instruction. I'm looking forward to going back for more work, both piercing and tattoos.

UPDATE: After getting pierced here, I went back to get some work done. I met Sergio Santiago and his traditional work is phenomenal! He helped me with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer tattoos (Jenny Calendar's rose and the actress who plays her - Robia LaMorte - signature I got from Hellmouth Con the prior weekend). Sergio is nothing but fuckin' awesome, extremely kind and will work with your ideas. The shop is so clean and all the artists are so friendly. Definitely my new shop.“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! I’ve had several tattoos done by Damiani (@damiani_tattoo on Instagram) and every single one has been flawless. I trusted his recommendations of the size and placement of each piece and couldn’t be happier with the results. All of my pieces are bold and traditional to match the pieces I already have but he’s an extremely versatile artist that can do any style of tattoo. All equipment was sterilized and set up in full view so you know exactly what’s being used, and the overall cleanliness reflects the same level of precision that goes into the artwork.

Every surface and workstation is immaculately maintained, and it’s clear that hygiene is a top priority as the whole shop is spotless. The staff are extremely welcoming and everyone working there creates an enjoyable experience from start to finish.

I also bought some new jewelry at Big Fish Piercing right next door for some existing ear piercings and had it put in by Devyn and Nat and had the same wonderful experience there too. High quality jewelry with top notch service and again very clean.

All photos were taken immediately after each session.“

“EMILY DID MY HAIR AND I LOVE HER I recently moved to the area and wanted to find a stylist closer to me. I mainly go to Emily for haircuts these days since I spent years bleaching my hair and needed a break. She gave me great advice on regrowing my hair and never once sold me anything (even tho they had in house products) which was really refreshing. I'd been to many salons that oversell items to you even if it isnt the most optimal for your hair. Emily is really friendly and absolutely gives great pointers on styling and what might look good on you. Everyone at the salon has been great, it's clean, organized and lively. They take card for payment and allow you to tip over venmo which is great. My only call out is I've had simple services like a bangs trim cost a fair amount, though my regular haircuts have been great. I've never left unhappy with my hair, so I'll definitely be sticking around!“

Ollie was nice, welcoming and professional. They explained everything to me before it was done. No surprises just as I like it. Easy. Fast. Clean. Sterile. Would for sure go back and definitely do recommend!

Cleanliness: Clean space. Well taken care of. Quick. Efficient. Pain free. Super nice overall.“
