    I’ve been getting tattooed at Adam’s Ave Tattoo for a few years now (specifically by Shelby) and I can’t say enough good things about the shop as a whole and each artist who works there! The shop is not intimidating at all and everyone is super friendly, knowledgeable and talented. They can do basically all styles but their specialty (and what I get) is American Traditional. They have great flash or are willing to work with you to create a custom design you will love. Shelby has basically done my whole leg and arm sleeve and every piece is amazing and so well done. Highly recommend if you are looking for pieces big or small!

    Stopped in here to see if we could get a little something to honor our grandparents. We got lucky and was able to work with Chris and Shelby, who are awesome. The shop is cute but small and it had a welcoming vibe to it. Chris did my sister's tat which came out perfect while Shelby did mine which I just love. Both are great artist and I can't wait to go back.

    This is one of the best shops in San Diego. I have received tattoos in 8 different countries and 13 different states. Jerry and his team at Adams Ave have completed some of the best American Traditional pieces. I constantly get compliments on their work out of all of my ink.
