I found this shop through yelp. I wanted to get started on a gorgeous piece and I needed to find someone who fit my style and I came across a master of tattoos... So, I just got a tattoo yesterday by Alec and I must say that he was amazing. I started on a very painful tattoo: an octopus on my sternum and rib area. Alec had a plethora of information to make my next session go more smoothly including where to buy and how to apply numbing cream. He was patient with me. As I mentioned before, this was a really painful tattoo but definitely not my first. He put up with me and encouraged me to continue on, although, Im no quitter so I wouldnt have anyway! ;) Alec drew up the tattoo and we communicated via email beforehand. Initially, I wanted something more centered but Alecs instincts were far more superior. Its going to come out looking realistic and so detailed, I can already tell. Now, this isnt a cheap tattoo shop. Youre going to pay for any of the artists artwork and their time. I think the pricing is reasonable especially when you take into account how long theyve been tattooing and the quality of their work. I cant say thank you enough, Alec, for this gorgeous piece thats going to come out so much better than I would have ever anticipated. Next is black and gray shading then my final session will be color!

This is by far the best tattoo shop in the PB/San Diego area. I have had the honor to have Mr. Roger Solis as my tattoo artist. To date I have been going to him for almost a year now, and I have gotten two full size inside forearm tattoos by him and I have a few more to go and I get compliments on them daily. Ladies, if you want someone that is charismatic with a gentle touch (cute too), Roger is the man. Professional, courteous…there are not enough words to describe him. The shop itself is in a cool location. Parking is best on the side streets. Very clean with cool art and art pieces on the wall. I have not had the pleasure of getting any work done by any of the other artists but they seem really cool. I have seen some of their work they have done on their clients and it is pretty awesome. This is a hidden gem. If you havent checked them out, you will be missing out.

*re-post because google was bugging out* I have nothing bad to say about this tattoo shop. I had an appointment with Paulie for my first tattoo EVER. I was a bit indecisive about what I wanted and changed my mind a few times and he bared with me and communicated with me throughout everything. He knew exactly what I wanted and we went for it. Being a huge Star Wars fan, I decided to get Darth Vader tattoo and Paulie is a huge Vader fan as well so he was really passionate about every detail going into the tattoo. Ive received so many compliments thanks to him! I love everything about my new ink. The details are beautiful and the colors go so well together. P.S They definitely have a crowd, so its better to reach the artists by email through their site. You

Had a tatoo done by Leo 4 months ago. The name "Kristin" turned out reading like "Kretin." He also tatooed what I thought would be a beautiful June Bug (I gave him a real picture on my phone) and the poor bug only has 3 legs. I am complaining about it now because the imperfections are now much more noticable even though the coloring has quickly faded, and I am embarrassed to show my forearm. I was willing to actually go back to Funhouse to get a cover up from their original mistakes. I saw 5 stars on their reviews, so I thought I should give them another shot. Unfortunately, I talked to a woman who was less than polite. Killed my idea of going back again, for a cover up, from the same place.

I love this shop. Great atmosphere. Very clean. Everyone is is friendly and welcoming. I live out of state and make a point to travel in for my tattoos. I have 3 tattoos that were done by Alec Bauer and am in the process of completing a multi-stage piece, currently. Alec is a fantastic artist and has great vision, impressive talent and strong ability. Ive been beyond pleased, each time Alec has done a tattoo for me. I give him a general idea of what I want and he turns into into something much better than I could imagine. I will make every possible effort to see that Alec is my artist from now on. I cant say enough good things! Love this shop! Love this artist! Well worth the trip.

There are hundreds of tattoo shops in San Diego. Anyone can get a bad tattoo. Seth Reynolds at Funhouse Tattoo in PB does not let that happen. From the day I first walked in with ideas in my head to the minute I finished my final touch ups, Seth took care of me all the way. He is a perfectionist and will not put his name on a bad tattoo. He will also not let you walk away unsatisfied. I got a 6 hour back piece that hurt like a mother. Seth was really flexible with his schedule and accommodated me in every way I asked. He is as talented as they come. I will most definitely continue to come to Funhouse for future ink! Thanks Seth!

I had a previous Haida killer whale shoulder piece I got about a year ago, and I really felt like it was lacking and not complete. Seths work turned out great - he was able to work with what I already had, what I wanted, and tattoo regulations that I am under for the military! Couldnt be happier. He is an expert on Polynesian/Haida-type art and knew the best ways to make certain areas of the art pop, he even used the older ink as contrast which was amazing. All in all a great experience. All of the artists are super knowledgeable and friendly, so definitely give Funhouse a try!

I was referred to this shop by the guys at Hodads in Ocean Beach. Parking can be a challenge in the Pacific Beach area, so definitely be patient and prepared to walk a bit. I got my tattoo done by Rudi Redman who is new to the the shop (not to tattooing) and not on the website yet. She is/was so awesome to consult with on the piece and in the end I gave her complete autonomy to design it the way she wanted and ended up with an amazing tattoo that Im proud to wear. Youll want to make an appointment if possible since it is a busy shop and walk ins cant always be accommodated.

Alec Bauer was my artist today, having yesterday been my 18th birthday and not knowing much about tattoos, my family (sister, dad, and mother) all went in to get tattoos after being recommended by my brother in law. The shop was very clean and all of the artists were very hospitable especially Alec. Alec really got to work and executed all of our tattoos to our desires and then recommended us to An awesome burrito joint. Loved the experience and cant wait to have my next tattoo done when I come back to San Diego in a few months!
