    This review is specifically for Tarek and his top notch work. By far, the best Tattoo Artist in San Diego! He’s booked out a few months but reach out to the shop, ask to get on his consult schedule, and he’ll assist to design you a rad, unique piece of art! Thanks Tarek!

    Schedule a consultation and was hoping to schedule the actual tattoo as well. Because the pricing was amazing, I decided to go ahead and get the tattoo done. Same day. Jonathan did an amazing job and the entire staff was great great. The customer service is superb. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending this place to everybody I know.
