Best Tattoo Shops In Santa Barbara

“Jon and Chris are breaking the stereotypes of tattoo shops - they truly are cool dudes with welcoming vibes. We aren't from the area but messaged Jon a week before our trip down here about getting small custom pieces, and he was super responsive, drew something up for us, and nailed it! Gentle tattoer, good artist and even better, just a good guy. All around one of my favorite tattoo experiences ever and I have been fortunate to get tattoers from all over the world!“

“Jake is a legend. Super chill guy and appreciates his work a lot.

Highly recommend him.“

“Brenno was amazing!! He was able to bring my vision to life and went with my spontaneous changes too! Very kind person too. He’s very good at what he does!! 100% recommend!“

“An amazing experience. Tomac is an incredibly talented tattoo artist and just an all round great guy. His studio is very cool - very chilled and relaxed place to be. Tomac takes lots of time to help you really perfect the design and make sure you it’s set up right. He is equally great at listening to your preferences but also suggesting recommendations or advice. I would easily recommend this place as the only place to get your tattoo in SB. 5-star service.“

“Had a great experience yesterday. She is an artist but works hard to be sure you are involved and happy with the project . Would highly recommend having her art installed. Her easy going conversation made the tattoo process much more enjoyable. Good sterile technique single use everything“

“My wife and I stopped in for tattoos and couldn't be happier with the results. We wouldn't hesitate to stop in again sometime in the future.“

“I used Kris for my areola and nipple tattooing. She was so sweet and did an amazing job! I didn’t realize how much this would help me to put breast cancer behind me. Thank you to Penn for recommending The Sauler Institute and to Kris for making this such a great experienced!“

“It's a very nice place, clean and professional. Exhalent work. I love my new piece..“

“Carly is a fantastic artist and consummate professional. She goes over the procedure carefully and ensures you're happy with design and placement multiple times, and makes sure you're comfortable during the procedure. She's done my combo brows (I'm a victim of the 90s plucking trend) and my winged liner and I love them both.“
