About Superfly Tattoo & Body Piercing
Superfly Tattoo & Body Piercing is a business that specializes in high-quality custom tattooing and body piercing, with a focus on American and Japanese Traditional styles. They offer a variety of services including coverups, lettering, and black and grey realism. The shop has been serving the Gaslamp and Downtown San Diego area since 1996 and features an extensive selection of custom gold and titanium body jewelry.
Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred and can be made by visiting their website. The staff is knowledgeable and professional, creating a warm and confident atmosphere for all customers. They have been praised for their work with first-time piercings, as well as more intricate tattoos such as a large peony design. The shop is clean and the artists are skilled, with the ability to bring tattoo ideas to life. Customers have shared positive experiences, highlighting the safety and cleanliness of the shop, with everything being sterile and sanitized.
Piercings are done carefully; for example, a customer received nipple piercings and noted that there was almost no pain after two days. The staff, including Ciara, is very helpful and knowledgeable. Ciara provided options for a potential septum re-pierce, explaining that if the septum was still open, it could be stretched back instead of pierced again, which saved the customer pain and money. She was friendly, answered questions thoroughly, and shared helpful insights about other piercings, including correcting previous mistakes made elsewhere.
For tattoos, Dominic made the experience comfortable for a first-timer, helping design and execute a large tattoo with great results. Overall, Superfly Tattoo & Body Piercing is highly recommended for anyone seeking professional, high-quality tattoo and piercing services in a clean and welcoming environment.
Reviews
Walked in and spoke to Robert about a tattoo. He was enthusiastic and helpful and fit me in right after he finished with his client. I’m very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone. I’ll definitely be coming back!
My sister and I had an appointment with Puck! We had a great time, Puck did an amazing job! He was so nice and eased our nerves with humor and professional reassurance! If we lived in the San Diego area he would certainly be our go to guy!🥳
