My sister has been wanting another tattoo the last few times shes been in town visiting from Texas, and up until now, weve had nothing but bad luck in actually making it happen. This was our second time here at SD Tattoo looking into getting what she wanted and we were so incredibly lucky to be set up with Clint. Our initial two experiences with SD Tattoo deserved 3 stars at best. The lack of communication between the staff, owner and us was disappointing. However, the whole process suddenly became so easy and smooth once Clint was involved. It was all just pretty much effortlessly aligned with exactly what she wanted. From the moment we were introduced to him he was polite, respectful, engaged and totally excited about being a part of this super meaningful and special piece my little sister was wanting to do. He went above and beyond to make sure that not only this tattoo actually happened tonight before she went back home to San Antonio, but that it was done with the absolute best customer experience possible. Totally down to earth, funny, engaged and pumped on getting to be the artist that did this beautiful piece for her. TOTAL 5 STARS FOR CLINT here at SD Tattoo. I plan on coming back and having one of my pieces redone that wasnt done right the first time in Vegas, and also for future new work. Thanks guys for the great experience and incredible work done on my little Sis!

STOP LOOKING AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT! Ivan at SD Tattoo recently spent an intense 8 hour marathon session completing a piece I was having done for the recent birth of my son Solomon (a rendition of Raphaels Judgment of Solomon). I have spent several hours in a tattoo chair and have gotten work done both across the US and internationally -- Ivan was the most enthusiastic and talented artist I have ever had the opportunity to work with. There is nothing more reassuring than a professional sharing your passion and vision -- the fact that Ivan is insanely skilled only adds a deeper appreciation for the finished product. I was fortunate enough to see the awesome work done by Don, Dustin, and Ryno {a very cool Dori and Nemo, a wolf ripping through a guys rib cage, and a very intimate memorial for a sibling were 3 that stand out in my memory} -- I am confident in recommending any of these very talented artists (even if Ivan remains my guy for black and white work.) When you can get up after an 8 hour session and laugh because you enjoy your commissioned piece so much, you know they did something right. After you have taken the time to find the perfect tattoo for you, do yourself a favor and set up an appointment at SD Tattoo!

Artists who Tattoo! That is the best way to describe the guys in this shop. I have known what I wanted for 14 years but could not find an "artist" worth doing my work. I was in town on business and started looking for somewhere to start my Roman history sleeve. I came across SD Tattoo and fell in love with Danny and Kimmys work. I ended up working with Danny and I am glad that I did. I could not be any happier with the work Danny did. He is a true ARTIST! His design was EXACTLY what I had pictured in my mind. Management was great as they followed up after I flew back home. All in all, I would recommend this shop to anyone, anywhere! I cant wait to schedule another trip to San Diego to allow Danny to continue working on my sleeve! Thank you guys so much for making my dream a reality.

I love this shop, hands down no one compares and I have been all over the country. When it comes to my tattoos I do my homework so believe me when I say i had an artist picked and ready when i went the first time but unfortunately who I wanted wasnt available due to a planned vacation and that when I met Ivan. Not only did Ivan exceed my expectations but his ideas and talents helped to create a true master piece that will last me a lifetime. And thats how awesome this shop and its artists are. No matter what your needs or wants they wont only match them but they will exceed expectations. I recommend this shop to any and all. Ivan is my superstar artist for all my future work, but everyone here is absolutely amazing and professional! You wont find better.

I have to agree with the other reviews that indicated this is the shop to go to if you want custom work done. I understand and have to accept the fact I am currently classified as heavily tattooed. I did the research and stopped by the shop and discussed my current ink and my plans forward with Scottie, Scottie was able to pick up where my old artist left off. My old artist was great, but the work Scottie just did for me is some of the best (Black and gray) work Ive ever seen, he freehanded the layout and there is so much detail, depth and life to the work I will only let Scottie do my work from now on. I highly recommended the SD Tattoo and their artists, why else would I fly from out of town to get my work done?

Got my daughters ears pierced here. She just turned 3 months. Kevan is awesome with the piercing. Very patient and gentle. It was expensive, but we got the titanium earrings, shes very small but active, has tiny ear lobes, and he used a needle, not the traumatic gun. Lots of paperwork, but its all done on a tablet, and Im very pleased that he verified everything before piercing her ears. From the before and after pictures you can see that she was not phased by the event. Back to chilling within seconds of the piercing. Thank you Kevan!

I have had a few pieces done there from Scottie... He does a lot of free hand and the work is always amazing when he is done. I also brought a friend who had a piece done on her forearm from Bean, which also turned out amazing. She is hooked now and will be back to get more. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting and the quality of work is fantastic. This shop has some really amazing artists working for them. I recommend them to all my friends. If you are looking for a place dont hesitate to come down and check them out.

Love this place, doesnt look like much from the outside but when you walk through the door its a totally different place, Just got my tattoo done after 2 sessions and Ivan did an amazing job, his attention to detail are very impressive, I got a color portrait of my daughter on my rib cage, I know this is a pretty bad spot for an artist to work, but he nailed it, very skilled. I will definitely be going back to get more tattoos by Ivan, thanks a lot bro, keep doing an amazing job!

Artist did a great job on bringing my tattoo to life. So no disrespect towards him. I just feel as though $800 for what I got was over priced. Especially after he said I wasnt going to be charged the hourly rate like originally discussed after having been in the chair for 5 1/2 hours. I was planning on returning to get the rest of my tattoo completed like I wanted but with that price Id rather take my business and my hard earned money elsewhere.
