My husband and I walked in for tattoos while on vacation and they were able to accommodate us quickly and did an amazing job! We will definitely be back for any future tattoos. The atmosphere was great and quality amazing. We’re so happy with the art they created!

I've had two tattoos done by Mariana and can't recommend her enough! She's not only detail oriented and precise but also the sweetest person. The vibe at Family Business overall is really good and you can tell they care deeply about the work they do.

Adriana inked me up. She made my vision come to fruition. I got exactly what I wanted, where I wanted it. Don't be fooled by her young looks, she knows what she is doing. Thank you again Adriana Nino

I’ve worked with Jed for my recent pieces, and I can't recommend him enough. He is a highly skilled artist who truly takes care of his clients throughout the entire process. The shop environment is fantastic—everyone is friendly, professional, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. If you’re looking for quality work and a great atmosphere, this is the place.

Carrie at Family Business Tattoo adorned me with the most beautiful new half sleeve! Then she out did herself by adding some swirly, fun, and funky color to an existing but unfinished floral half sleeve on my other arm. Everyone at Family Business is friendly and fun, professional and poised. I can't wait to return!!

Jed absolutely nailed my tattoo. This was done as a coverup, I had a name written large in dark thick black letters, and now there is no visible trace. My experience was very positive and Jed is a true professional. Pricing was very fair. I couldn't be happier with the result.

Just finished a session with Carrie at Family Business Tattoo. She completed my full back piece after five sessions, and it’s unbelievable. From the very first consultation to the final touches, she was professional, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. The amount of care and precision she puts into her work really shows — every session built perfectly on the last, and the finished piece is insane.
Carrie also did my chest piece a few years ago, and it’s still one of my favorite tattoos. Her work heals well and I continue to get compliments all the time. She has an incredible eye for design and placement, and she really takes the time to make sure everything flows with your body.
The shop itself is awesome — clean, welcoming, and run by great people. The whole process, from booking to the final session, was smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for high-quality work and an artist who genuinely cares about her craft and her clients, Carrie is it. If you’re in San Diego and you need work done look no further family business is top 2 not 2.

Mariana has done the reconstructive tattooing of my aerola post surgery to make them match in size and color. Beautiful work! She’s so careful about privacy, preparation to minimize pain, and puts such care into such a sensitive/delicate area.

The staff was really easy to communicate with and the wait time was not bad at all. All in all love my galantines day I had with my girlfriends TY
