Tattoo Shops near La Mesa

“Chris is literally the best. I’ve had a lot of tattoo nightmares, one he is even currently covering up and it’s already looking amazing. 10/10 will always recommend him and this shop!“

“This was literally the most enjoyable tattoo session I've ever had (I have 20+ tattoos) . I gave the artist a couple inspiration photos and he went to work drawing up something that far exceeded my expectations. As he was going I could tell he's a true artist and was enjoying the process himself as well. My artist was Nick, my son was tattooed as well and he had Jadd as an artist. His tattoo also came out amazing. The room was full of laughter and great conversation and it made everything so easy and enjoyable. My son is already planning his next tattoo and plans on coming back in a couple of weeks. I'm from out of town and am visiting my son, but you better believe I'll be coming back to let Nick create more art for me. 1000/10 highly highly highly recommend. Best spot in California hands down.“

“I cannot recommend Julie enough if you are looking for fine line work. She took my vision and inspo photo and made it so much more than I could have asked for. She had great communication and was very professional and personable. She is such a sweetheart and I will be going back to her for any future tattoos!“

“Andrew was very helpful and reassuring. Could not ask for a better place for a first tattoo“

“Aryanna from enluv was the best she did a great job on my husband eye shadow scar was the perfect match.thank you so much.“

“I have received several tattoos from Baki, most recently is my arm sleeve/chest piece. Always the best quality of work and nicest guy! Highly recommend!“

“Had an amazing experience here last week — I decided to get my first tattoo and was able to work with James, who was absolutely incredible. I had come in as a walk in on a Saturday and not only was he able to see me, but he went above and beyond with bringing my vision to life. I got a tattoo of bats on my left arm and he honestly did even better than the reference photo I provided. The time, care, and detail he put into the tattoo was truly appreciated, and I could not have asked for a better first tattoo experience. He was very kind as were the other tattoo artists in the shop, and I felt welcomed and at ease. James is a true artist and I am so happy with the final result — thank you!! Would highly recommend coming to this shop!“

“I used to go visit Tracy here! Loved the shop. Clean. Would easily go back if I still lived in Cali.“

“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 ?❤️“

“Clister was really professional & friendly. Was our first time coming to him to get some artwork done, my wife wanted to get matching tattoos (she got my name & I got hers on the same hand) his attention to detail was above & beyond. Would highly recommend him & will definitely be coming back for more.“

“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!“

“She did the fastest piercing! 10/10 didn’t even give me time to panic love that fr 🥹❤“

“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!“

“First and foremost, I need to shoutout LEXY! Omg, she is amazing! I called ahead of time and she let me know that I can come in, she explained the process, let me choose my jewelry and was transparent about pricing. She thoroughly explained the aftercare instructions as well. She studio space is so cool and decorated with custom art pieces. The environment felt very comfortable. The process was quick and just felt like a small pinch. It wasn’t painful to get my ear piercing. Thank you so much, Lexy!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ?❤️“

“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“

“10/10! Toni was my artist and helped me finally complete my electrical circuit tattoo. My piece had a bit of everything, fine line, realism, complex shapes and complete custom design. She exceeded my expectations!! All staff was overall friendly, focused on their craft. I will definitely be returning to finish my half sleeve!!“

“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!“

“I originally came in for a simple lettering tattoo, but ended up getting one of my existing tattoos reworked too. Pierre is the man! Super professional, easy to work with, and his artwork is incredible. Highly recommend!“
