Tattoo Shops near Solana Beach

“I cannot recommend this place enough! I’ve had several tattoos done by Damiani (@damiani_tattoo on Instagram) and every single one has been flawless. I trusted his recommendations of the size and placement of each piece and couldn’t be happier with the results. All of my pieces are bold and traditional to match the pieces I already have but he’s an extremely versatile artist that can do any style of tattoo. All equipment was sterilized and set up in full view so you know exactly what’s being used, and the overall cleanliness reflects the same level of precision that goes into the artwork.

Every surface and workstation is immaculately maintained, and it’s clear that hygiene is a top priority as the whole shop is spotless. The staff are extremely welcoming and everyone working there creates an enjoyable experience from start to finish.

I also bought some new jewelry at Big Fish Piercing right next door for some existing ear piercings and had it put in by Devyn and Nat and had the same wonderful experience there too. High quality jewelry with top notch service and again very clean.

All photos were taken immediately after each session.“

“Literally the absolute best tattoo shop I have ever been too. Flew here from South Africa to visit and made sure I came back again to get another piece. My art was done by Douglas and he is phenomenal. I have watched Ivan and the others tattoo and they are incredible as well. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

“Terrific permanent eyeliner procedure. I have had eyeliner applied before, and Sherry is the best!“

“I’ve had all my work done there and it has always been great quality and the artists are all super friendly and talented. The inside also has a great vibe and is super cool with really awesome artwork on the walls that’s all done by local artists. I would definitely recommend.“

“Excellent shop - extremely friendly, CLEAN and professionally run. I just got my ears pierced by Jordyn; quick, easy and wonderful care and instruction. I'm looking forward to going back for more work, both piercing and tattoos.

UPDATE: After getting pierced here, I went back to get some work done. I met Sergio Santiago and his traditional work is phenomenal! He helped me with some Buffy the Vampire Slayer tattoos (Jenny Calendar's rose and the actress who plays her - Robia LaMorte - signature I got from Hellmouth Con the prior weekend). Sergio is nothing but fuckin' awesome, extremely kind and will work with your ideas. The shop is so clean and all the artists are so friendly. Definitely my new shop.“
