Tattoo Shops near La Mesa

“I’m so glad I decided to check this place out! The shop is so welcoming, Chris is friendly, personable and you can really tell he’s passionate and takes pride in the work he does. My first tattoo in over a decade and he absolutely killed it. Looking forward to my next appointment already! I cannot recommend Firma Tattoo enough.“

“Julie was so great to work with! She helped bring my concept to life which I really appreciated being a collaborative effort. I absolutely loved the design for the fine line tattoo and seeing the final product was even better than I could have imagined. Thank you Julie!“

“Bunz did an amazing job on my tattoo! Great atmosphere, and everyone at the shop has a fantastic attitude. Will be going back for more.“

“Tommy, great work, services with a smile?

Ask for Tommy if you need a new piece!

Appreciate your artistic talent, years of work!

Don't wait, call on Tommy?“

“Super talented, professional, and chill to be around. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time, and the work came out clean. You can tell he really cares about the art — the linework, shading, and detail were all on point. Easily one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had. If you’re thinking about booking with James, just do it — you won’t regret it.“

“My first time getting anything done before and I’m so glad I did. My pain tolerance is very low but they allowed me to take breaks and I felt very comfortable! The pain was about a 7.5/10 for me but it varies with everyone and their own experiences with tattooing/micro-needling since I’ve never done anything like this before. I was a model for two students and they did a wonderful job and made me feel safe the entire time.“

“So I had been itching for some new tattoos (who doesn’t right?), and I really wanted to get all anime ones for my upper sleeve and while on instagram, I came across the artist James. Love his work and how clean it looked so I immediately sent a message over to him and we got my first tattoo scheduled. Very easy and streamlined process and the shop itself is so dope. So much artwork on the walls and just overall chill environment. I was greeted right away by the receptionist and they let James know I was there and the consultation began. Didn’t take much longer before I was in the chair getting ready to get my anime half sleeve started. It’s been close to a year probably since that first anime tattoo and the work looks incredible! My half sleeve of all anime is done and James could not have been more professional. He is so quick when he works but does not leave any detail out! I can’t speak for all the other artists and their work inside that shop but, if they are anything like James, then I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Full Circle Tattoo is the place to go!“

“Got the perfect leg piece here. Mervin is so awesome and does great, clean, geometric work. Everyone created a really comfortable environment and I would recommend this shop to everyone.“

“Lexy is the best! I love going here and Nick did my tattoos and I'm love the!!! Can’t wait to go back“

“Place was very clean and neat, design came out fantastic, artist was friendly, professional 10/10 would recommend.“

“I’ve only ever gotten piercings from here, so I can’t speak about the tattoo side. I always get the same woman and I love her. She knows what she’s talking about and easily answers any questions you have.“

“Natalie was so great! I went in kind of indecisive and she was very patient and knowledgeable. We settled on a helix and she mapped out possible future ones to add just so I could see what that would look like. Definitely found my new place!“

“Veronica! Amazing artist who listened carefully and understood my vision. A true professional who already had many versions drawn and ready for my input at the very start of appointment! I LOVE my new ink. Definitely will be back for more ?❤️“

“My 7 year old daughter and I had an awesome experience with Anna at the La Jolla location. We took the whole family of 5 with us, including her little bros. We were initially intimidated when we saw it was inside a tattoo parlor but when you step inside it feels clean, spacious, and comfortable. They were able to take us in as a walk in. Anna was superb! She was very friendly and patient with all our questions and took her time to make sure everything was aligned. She was very honest as well, I thought one of my ear piercing holes had closed and was going to get it repierced but she told me I actually don't need to and helped get an earring through, hooray!

My daughter and I are so happy with the results and got thorough instructions on how to maintain our piercings. It is on the pricey side for kids but worth the comfortable environment imo. Thank you Anna!“

“Andres did an amazing tattoo for me. Asking my opinion thru the whole process. Got a tattoo from Cristy, same place, before and both are amazing artists that care about the art.“

“I had a great experience at this tattoo shop! Felt very welcoming and had a great atmosphere! I got a lil tattoo and a belly piercing done and they both went smoothly!“

“Nick did an amazing job bringing my idea to life. I had been planning my tattoo for a couple years and he was able to create exactly what I wanted.“

“Amazing and clean . Also very Christian and I love that. Chance Quinn is a very talented artist and a beautiful person. Im not a very social person but I felt so comfortable there. 100 stars. God bless“

“Veronica! Amazing artist who listened carefully and understood my vision. A true professional who already had many versions drawn and ready for my input at the very start of appointment! I LOVE my new ink. Definitely will be back for more ?❤️“

“I took my 5 year old daughter here and Dutch was extremely patient and friendly. He was upfront about the cost and made us all comfortable. My daughter, myself and her friends were all pierced by Dutch. I highly recommend this shop! Dutch is professional and great to work with. Thanks Dutch!“

“Second visit here. Everyone is always nice, very comfortable. Excited to see their new space.“

“I called and had some questions about tipping etiquette because I was gonna get a touch up from a different artist and Kyle was super great and friendly, talked with me about some various tattoo related stuff. If the shop is anything close as great as my interaction was I would recommend checking them out!“

“she did body sculpting on me I did a few sessions and my waist is snatched I also got my lips done and I’m happy at how proportionate they are and they don’t look ridiculous“

“Great first experience there. I had the jewelry for my helix switched out and the piercing inspected to make sure it's healing up correctly. Pierre was very kind, gentle, accommodating, knowledgeable, helpful and professional. Really a great experience. I plan to go to him when I am ready for my next piercing AND to top it off...great prices to boot. 10/10 would recommend.“

“We are super happy with Rezzy!
He explained everything, was professional and made the experience great!“

“I am over the moon with my experience and my new tattoo from Chris Cockerell at Remington Tattoo!! Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I've had a lot of crappy things happen to me this year but my new tattoos are a highlight. The experience was very therapeutic and I'm so happy. I highly recommend getting your tattoo here!

I also want to add that the energy is so comfortable there, so if you're nervous about getting your first or next tat, this shop will help you feel at ease. I have 2 other pieces prior to this and, while they were both done a long time ago, I just remember how intimidating each of my artists were. Not here! The artists are very knowledgeable and non judgemental. It's a breathe of fresh air in there, really. Kinda can't want to go and get another one.“
