Tattoo Shops near Santee

“Only place I go to . Love the young lady who works there . Always pleasant and very helpful“

“So I had been itching for some new tattoos (who doesn’t right?), and I really wanted to get all anime ones for my upper sleeve and while on instagram, I came across the artist James. Love his work and how clean it looked so I immediately sent a message over to him and we got my first tattoo scheduled. Very easy and streamlined process and the shop itself is so dope. So much artwork on the walls and just overall chill environment. I was greeted right away by the receptionist and they let James know I was there and the consultation began. Didn’t take much longer before I was in the chair getting ready to get my anime half sleeve started. It’s been close to a year probably since that first anime tattoo and the work looks incredible! My half sleeve of all anime is done and James could not have been more professional. He is so quick when he works but does not leave any detail out! I can’t speak for all the other artists and their work inside that shop but, if they are anything like James, then I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Full Circle Tattoo is the place to go!“

“Fast and convenient. Ryan was my piercer, amazing work and very friendly 10/10, affordable prices would highly recommend“

“Clister helped bring my simple sketch into an incredible masterpiece over a decade ago and out of all the misinformed decisions I made when I was young, I have NO regrets about my choice of artist.

Ten years later, no fading, still getting compliments. Although it was a 14 hour project split into two sessions - painful, yes - but I got a lifetime of beautiful ink walking around with me.

Thanks Clister!“

“Julie was friendly and did a good job on my tattoo. I liked how I had the whole place to myself during my session as she's the only tattoo artist. She made sure the size and placement was to my liking, and she also had snacks which was considerate. My appointment lasted an hour for a 2-inch tattoo and was $150 before tip, which I feel like was a normal price. Overall would recommend!“

“10/10 amazing people here and their work is fucking amazing recommend going to this place you'll love the vibes and the people“

“I had an incredible experience at Good Fortune tattoo shop! Alex did an amazing job on my first Halloween flash tattoo of Jason Vorhees, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The shop itself is spotless, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is not only friendly but also incredibly talented with their own unique designs. If you're considering a tattoo, I highly recommend Alex and his team--they truly know how to bring your vision to life! Whether you're a first-timer or looking for your next piece, this place is a must-visit.“

“I recently moved to San Diego, and came across Concrete Jungle Tattoo in my neighborhood. The entire staff is professional and very friendly. I initially stopped in and got a spur of the moment tattoo from Edgar. I was so impressed with his skill and professional / friendly demeanor, that I have been back multiple times for more work. This place is a gem!“

“I called and had some questions about tipping etiquette because I was gonna get a touch up from a different artist and Kyle was super great and friendly, talked with me about some various tattoo related stuff. If the shop is anything close as great as my interaction was I would recommend checking them out!“

“Great experience! Good customer service! Great work! Thank you slik Rik and all the fellas at grosero tattoo!“

“I am over the moon with my experience and my new tattoo from Chris Cockerell at Remington Tattoo!! Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I've had a lot of crappy things happen to me this year but my new tattoos are a highlight. The experience was very therapeutic and I'm so happy. I highly recommend getting your tattoo here!

I also want to add that the energy is so comfortable there, so if you're nervous about getting your first or next tat, this shop will help you feel at ease. I have 2 other pieces prior to this and, while they were both done a long time ago, I just remember how intimidating each of my artists were. Not here! The artists are very knowledgeable and non judgemental. It's a breathe of fresh air in there, really. Kinda can't want to go and get another one.“

“I took my 5 year old daughter here and Dutch was extremely patient and friendly. He was upfront about the cost and made us all comfortable. My daughter, myself and her friends were all pierced by Dutch. I highly recommend this shop! Dutch is professional and great to work with. Thanks Dutch!“

“I got my first tattoo with Ricky here. Love these guys. Feels like family. Great artists. Kind, intuitive. Overall good experience. Will surely return for more ink.“

“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 that Aiden does free touch ups in the event of needing one. My friend received a back of the hand tattoo and he was so awesome with helping pick a font/spacing/& size choices. Shop is cool in itself, SO much funky stuff to look at. Take a look and you’ll keep seeing more stuff when you thought you had seen all of it lol. Overall great artist, great experience and great studio. Super happy! Thank you Aiden!“

“Karin, you made our memorial tattoo exactly how my Grandpa would have wanted it! Thank you so much! I highly recommend your shop for anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing! I will definitely be back! Herbie, thank you from the bottom of my heart for introducing me to Karin!“

“Well worth the long drive to SD. The booking process was smooth and quick, Rosette provided all the information I needed and helped coordinate a date that worked best for my schedule. Walking in I didn't know what to expect, but the vibe was comforting for my first tattoo. My artist was Kendall, and I highly recommend him to anyone getting a tattoo. After showing a few reference photos and giving him a general idea of what I was going for, he freehanded the whole design and made sure to incorporate all the aspects I wished. The actual tattoo process was smooth as well; he didn't mind if I needed to take any breaks throughout and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole time. He made sure I was aware if he was about to work on a more sensitive area, and the process felt quick without the work looking rushed. I recommend bringing some headphones and a phone charger as well as some snacks, water &/or Gatorade to keep your blood sugar high. Thank you to the people of Island Tat for the experience and I'll definitely be coming back soon to finish my sleeve.“

“Went in as a walk in for a birthday tattoo and Ali was awesome. She was very friendly and made sure the tattoo I wanted looked right. The shop is very friendly and has a great vibe. Ali did an amazing job with my tattoo and made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Would highly recommend Avalon Tattoo II and Ali!“

“This is the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. The owner, Ben, does tattoos in the back but if you ever meet him he’s the coolest guy ever. Paul is super chill, gave me the best haircut. They were also playing the old school Jumanji with Robin Williams on the TV because they appreciate fine art and culture, which is always nice to see. Go check ‘em out!“

“Pierre was so nice! Me and my cousin did a walk in for a stud nose piercing and a back tattoo with two back piercings. He was great at communicating as well, even stayed an extra few hours to finish up my cousin's tattoo and back piercings. He was very kind and patient, and very relaxed as well. He made sure I was okay after I got my nose piercing, and even helped replace one of my spikes after it fell out from my septum.“

“Chrome Lady Tattoo exceeded expectations! Talented artists, clean environment, and welcoming vibe. My artist listened and delivered a custom piece I love. Professional, punctual, and passionate about their craft. Highly recommend!“

“I loved my experience here! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. The artists are totally chill and completely understand if you throw up (totally not speaking from experience ??) Alyssa was my artist and she was amazing! The tattoo turned out awesome and she went above and beyond to make sure I was doing okay ?“

“With Michael, as I’m sure you’ll get with anyone else here, you’ll get great conversation, good music, and a great tattoo
Great shop!“

“10/10 would recommend. This tattoo shop is welcoming and warm. I have gotten a couple large tattoos from Chris at Firma, and I am always amazed at the outcome of my tattoos as well as the process. I can always provide Chris with my vision and I know he will go above and beyond my expectations. The artists there are respectful and caring of your needs. As a woman, I feel safe and comfortable at this shop. While tattooing my chest and glute Chris made sure that I felt comfortable and checked in frequently to make sure that I was okay. Also, this tattoo shop is also extremely cleanly and organized.“

“Hazel is the best! Very talented artist and a nice person too, she'll do a great job for you.“

“Definitely will always come back to this shop. Brianne is so dope makes sure her project is perfect , very attentive and her vibes are always perf! Thank you again, I'll be back soon.“

“Love this tattoo studio. Very talented artists and interesting one of a kind designs. Highly recommend.“
