Tattoo Shops near San Bruno

“I love this shop. Chill vibes. I just got my second tattoo from Joel. He is sweet and really takes his time to make sure you get exactly what you want. He is also really fast and has a light hand. Highly recommend. I love my (cover-up) 🐍“

“I’ve been to Mission Ink twice now. The first time a few years ago to get a “Courage The Cowardly Dog” tattoo in color from Guilherme, and I returned recently to get two nostril piercings from Jake.

My tattoo experience with Guilherme years ago was an awesome experience. He’s genuinely nice, knowledgeable, and heard me out on minor changes I requested. Out of all the tattoos I have, I get compliments on this one the most.

My recent experience with Jake was also extremely positive. I had both sides of my nostrils pierced 10+ years ago and had a poor experience both with the artist and the outcome of the piercings not (visually) aligning. Jake not only heard me out, but did severallll checks before we agreed on the placement. He was also kind enough to write down the specifics of the current jewelry and next steps for follow-up care.

The shop itself feels super clean and everyone I’ve interacted with there is extremely helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend Mission Ink enough.“

“Sasha is the BEST! She’s the Good Witch of piercing!
I went in wanting permanent “set it and forget it” backless studs for my 2nd & 3rd holes that had basically healed up. Sasha helped me choose the jewelry then she painlessly reopened my old holes and placed the new mini stack. I’m so thrilled and excited to have found 13 Bats. Thanks Sasha! 🖤“

“I really love the artwork and the quality of the initial tattoo I received from Jia. The line work and healing process went well.“

“Got 2 piercings from here (naval and helix), it’s a very good, professional, family owned business. My helix hasn’t healed yet but the piercing process was very smooth and everything was very sterile. They only use high quality materials. I’ve had my naval piercing for 3-4 years and it has healed perfectly. I fainted when I got it but they were very supportive about it and gave me chocolate and water for my blood sugar. I recommend going here for a piercing because they know what they’re doing. They also gave me a lot of good advice about other piercings I had and what jewelry to use.“

“This place is so great! I came in for a belly piercing that I thought was closed. A couple of other places would’ve re-pierced me for additional communication, but he just reinstalled it for me!

It was not painful and he was so communicative. I’ve had several piercers but he’s the best I’ve seen! Going to def be back for the rest of my other piercings“

“I had a tattoo done they're 2001 it was a 9-11-01 tattoo did awesome job I still have it they are awesome“

“I had an amazing experience here. Lorenzo gave me a special piece of forever art- a gorgeous black and grey postage stamp from his flash. He was super kind, accommodating, and easy to talk to. The shop had nice natural light and felt big and open. Everyone there seemed really chill and kind. There were even snacks! Lol. I would definitely go again :)“

“Warm vibes the whole way through, and that goes for everyone in the shop. Taylor did my piece: sharp listener, clear communicator, talented eye, welcoming of discussion, and just a good dude. I left Tuesday *very* happy.“

“I have already reviewed Clayton at the other location in Oakland, at I Love You Tattoo on Piedmont. I went to this location to get my 26th tattoo. I'm gonna do a second session at the end of summer to get the shading and color done. This piece was so well done, that it healed with just over a week. Clayton has been super faithful and easy to communicate with. Super flexible on pricing and sizing.“

“Just got my first tattoo here! During the design phase Airu was very patient and gave helpful advice and didn't rush me when I was debating about small details. The tattoo came out exactly as I wanted - she's very talented!
The place itself is spacious and sparkly clean.“

“Highly, highly, highly recommend this studio. I now have two of Tina's absolutely stunning, beautifully colored and incredibly detailed floral tattoos, and I literally can't wait to have my next idea so I can go back again <3 She's unbelievably talented: each time she's understood and executed my vision so perfectly, and I trust her completely. The shop is also so cute, and the whole experience is fun and thoughtful. Just the absolute best!“

“I can't recommend this place enough tbh. I had a piercing emergency and Gloria and her team were kind enough to squeeze me in, even on short notice. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable right away. They took the time to help me out, answered all my questions, and never made me feel rushed. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients. If you're looking for a professional shop with a super chill atmosphere and amazing customer service, this is the place to go.“

“I got a great piece of flash at this shop. The tattoo artists were very friendly. My tattoo looks awesome and I’d definitely go back.“

“Good people good vibes good time. Amazing artwork. Definitely a good spot whether it's your first or 31st tattoo. I will be back soon for my next artistic addition to the temple that is my own“

“@kwon_tattoos ( Eugene) is so talented and gentle . I had a vision he said let me work this up and give you some ideas . It was a mother daughter - tattoo and he exceeded my expectations. But more than anything, it was painless I didn’t know that could be possible . I will definitely do back and know you are in good hands if you go as well .“

“Got my first tattoo with Theo at this shop and it was a wonderful experience. He talked me through the design and process very clearly and I was able to share the thoughts throughout the whole process. During the tattoo, he was super helpful and patient with all the last minute changes and breaks I needed. Highly recommend him because he’s equally kind and talented!“

“Great experience! Fast and super nice! Love my Tattoo and totally recommend coming here!!
Tattoo was done by Cristian.“

“I was soooo nervous to get my nose pierced, Jay and everyone there made me so much more comfortable by explaining the process and telling me how to maintain it. Would definitely go back for future piercings!“

“Sarah did a great job with my Lord of the Rings tattoo especially given that she was working with a spherical surface.
I'm very happy with it.“

“Vanessa’s lip tattooing way exceeded my highest hopes!
- The tattoo didn’t actually hurt - she uses really strong numbing agents so you don’t feel much at all and swaps in fresh needles, so you never feel a dull one
- Her lines are CRISP and perfect, she measures and plans the outline so carefully to make a gorgeous shape that’s way cleaner than a lipliner and more natural-looking
- She works meticulously but also efficiently
- She creates beautiful, custom ink colors according to your goal and natural pigmentation
- She checks in to make sure you’re comfortable throughout the whole process
- Vanessa is so friendly and chill but professional to work with and her shop is spotless, well-lit and calm
- She makes sure you know exactly how to care for the tattoo as it heals
- Scheduling is a breeze and she offers flexible and convenient hours
- This was a truly great tattooing experience!“
