Every time I get tattooed by Max I feel more like myself. Their custom designs are amazing and they always come up with something even cooler than I could have imagined. They’re super kind and nice to talk to and good about checking in and making sure you have a good experience. I’ve gotten 5 tattoos from them and they’ve all healed great and still look awesome years later.

So happy with my experience here. My friend and I were walk-ins, wanted to get tattoos while she was visiting here in San Diego. Aiden (@kronetattoos on instagram) was unbelievably friendly and easy going. He just happened to be the one there when we walked in, how lucky! Very happy with result of my tattoo. Highly appreciated the easy going and willingness to make sure i absolutely was positive about the placement of the stencil before we began. I got two symmetrical tattoos on either side of my collarbones, so appreciative of making sure they were as symmetrical as it gets. They are fresh for now, so we will see how it’s looking after healing, but I also appreciate… read full review

I can’t recommend Rocky Howe enough!!! They made the entire process so comfortable, and they’re the nicest person ever! They have such a soft hand, and made multiple hour pieces as comfortable as possible. Not to mention how gorgeous their work is! All 5 of the pieces they’ve done on me have healed up beautifully, and have held wonderfully years later. I get the most compliments on the tattoos I have from them. If you’re looking for an amazing tattoo artist specializing in anime tattoos, look no further! Rocky Howe is your person !!! Kind, talented and wonderful 🥰 1000/10
