Tattoo Shops near Imperial Beach

“4.19.24 came back again to add more piercings but this time I had it done by someone else. couldn't get my schedule to align otherwise I would've came in to see Johnny but the girl I saw I believe her name was Sierra. She was quick to set me up and get me out the door. She was friendly and welcoming. Piercings went off without any issues or concerns. Typical routine, sterilizes the tools, sat in her chair and had me choose the location I wanted for my piercings. Came in early on a Friday morning so not having to wait was nice. Cleaned me up and out the door I went. Will be back for more. r/sm.“

“Let me start off by saying this tattoo shop is amazing. I talked to Luis over the phone about a portrait of my dog that passed away 2 years. I went to 2 different tattoo shops, and they did not want to do it due to my disability and body movements. So I called SoCal tattoo, and they got me in. Johnny is an amazing artist. Not only did he have to work with my body movements, but he did an amazing job. He was very patient and understanding. I can not thank him so much for what he did for me. Now I have my beloved dog Tedd on me for the rest of my life. The atmosphere is so down to earth and chill, with good music. If Johnny can do a tattoo on me, he can do anything. If I could, I would give this place 10 stars. I highly recommend SoCal tattoo.“

“I've been coming to Wylie Sydes for almost 30 years, way back when it was still off of 9th and Palm. This is the place I go to for my piercing needs. Customer service is always great from this family owned business. They only take cash though which can be a little inconvenient. Recently brought my daughter in to get her nose pierced, and they were very knowledgeable and professional. I think their prices are still reasonable. It's a small shop but they have always taken care of their customers and I will always recommend it them to people.“

“Highly recommend this place .. Cris is amazing , did amazing work and was very friendly. Will definitely be coming back for another one“

“This place is honestly the only place I ever think of getting my tattoos. The people are amazing and so artistic, they definitely know how to guide you to your perfect tattoos.. I guarantee you will go one day and never stop coming back.. you all are rocking it!!..“

“Great work done here! Franks a great artist, I’ve been coming here for almost 10 years now, 2 half sleeves later (lower leg and forearm… see below), needless to say I’m happy with the work. I get stopped frequently and asked where I get my work done. His realism pops and has great contrast.<br><br>I would highly recommend Vipers Ink to anyone, for any type of tattoo. Frank is an honest and fair priced tattoo artist. Charges by the piece, not time. So there’s no rush or pressure during breaks. Check him out!“

“Thursday afternoon walk in, got right in no problem. Had a young lady as my artist. I'm bad with names but she was very personable. Got a small piece on the back of my arm. I love the work she did for me. Great experience all around. Thank you!“

“My wife and I walked in and had a matching design tattooed on our forearms. Very clean lines and we get a lot of compliments. I would highly recommend Hq tattoo!“

“Susie pierced my flat...I was a little nervous but it was quick and easy! Highly recommend!!“

“Feer does great tattoos and he welcomed all my ideas with enthusiasm. He finished my sleeve (Japanese) with his black work style. He also did a small cover up and he's tattooing my legs. Any style of tattoo he does comes out amazing. He's great and I'll definitely continue getting tattooed by him!“

“Always enjoyed everything we purchased. Good people .We have known owners for years, good atmosphere. You all have a great day. See you when we come down to San Diego.“

“My family and I have been coming to Deville tattoo shop for years, and it is always an amazing experience! Nemo has been the main artist that we have went to, and he has became like family! He is kind and such an amazing artist and person! He has great technique and even after years of healing tattoos, they still look amazing!“

“Rodrigo is an amazing tattoo artist, not to mention just a great guy all around! He's become my tattoo artist and don't see myself going to anyone else. He's gentle, light handed and makes an 8 hour session go by quickly! He's made my dream sleeve into a reality and I cannot wait until we finish and move on to my right arm! Thank you Rodrigo I can't even begin to explain how happy I am with my arm and how excited I am for future tattoo ideas that you make a beautiful reality for me“

“Dominic did my first tattoo as well as my most recent one. His work is always so amazing and consistent. The atmosphere he created in the shop was calming and the vibe was great as well, he was patient and made me feel comfortable as well.“

“Sofia pierced my thirds on my lobes and she was great! So knowledgeable, thorough, and honest. She was super sterile with everything which I really appreciated as well. She gave me contact info for a follow up even though I'm from out of town to make sure everything is healing well. Go see Sofia!!!“

“I just got my 3rd session on my back piece.. Judy is awesome and does one hell of a job. Strongly recommend getting your tattoo here!“

“Sofia is an incredible artist she has the lightest touch my tattoo barely bled at all and healed extremely well. Very high quality materials and exceptional customer service she made me feel comfortable right away I give my highest recommendation for her work/this shop!!“

“Excellent experience. Visiting from Atlanta to see our son. Very pleased with my dancing skeleton and my son got a tiger to further his a sleeve work. The crew was super friendly and the atmosphere was clean and cool with some groovy music. Highly recommend Seven Seas. Oh,……and the price was very reasonable.“

“100% recommend this place, Puck was very helpful and the process was quick and basically painless.“

“Caitlyn has done a handful of tattoos for me. I am incredibly happy with all of them as far as how they look as well as how they happened. I get compliments daily on them. The shop has always been very respectful and engaged and involved. I believe that Caitlyn is my go to tattooist and unless I’m looking to do a specialty tattoo she is who I trust. I have 8 or 9 tattoos for reference and I have them on back, side , arms , leg, finger. If that helps“

“Great tattoo shop with great vibes. All the guys inside are pretty cool nice and friendly. Everyone is very caring and respectful. I've been going there for over five years and I will continue to go. my favorite artist there that I get all my ink from is Panch. He has done everything that I have asked for very professionally and also he can do all types of art which I was very impressed.. another cool thing there is there is a lot of food places around you can always grab a bite. Before getting tattooed or after.“

“Had a forehead tattooed there at Luckys , I am glad that so many people lived in my mind and body because by having my forehead tattooed it caused schizophrenic hallucinations, the milagrosos of inking while controllled . Gracias A Dios“

“Phil is so talented and always does such an amazing job. This is my second cover up done by Phil, he is friendly and responds to messages within minutes. Everyone in the shop is nice and welcoming. I will be going to Phil for all my future tattoos, thank you Phil for your amazing art work!“

“Miguel, Julian and Jake were fabulous! My family and I came in late on a Friday evening and Miguel greeted us right away. He showed us qr codes that link to each of the tattoo artists’ work. This was super helpful and allowed us to see whose style matched with the designs we were considering. There was no pressure, they gave us all the time we needed, answered our questions and offered us snacks and drinks.<br><br>We made appointments for two days later as they were very accommodating to our scheduled activities.<br><br>The day of our appointments, we had a blast! They made us all feel so comfortable with just the right amount of talking (while working the whole time). There was so much laughter and chill convo! Not to mention, our tattoos came out just the way we envisioned and they were completed much faster than we had anticipated. It was also Miguel’s birthday (the artist that did my tattoo) and since we had such an amazing time, we asked them all to take a picture with us. We were thrilled when they agreed!<br><br>Cleanliness: Cleanest tattoo shop Ive ever been in!<br><br>Stylist: Miguel did such a great job and was so efficient, my sister asked him to do her tattoo as well! Julian was very thorough and gave my daughter great suggestions about how to enhance the design she chose. When he finished her tattoo, she loved it!“

“This has been my go-to spot for the past 23 years for all my piercings and tattoos. Always professional, clean and friendly.“

“Johnny Hex is the best tattoo artist I've been to!!! He did my cover up on my throat and I was super happy with how he fixed everything now I'll be going to 24 hour tattoo for the rest of my tattoos. While I was waiting to leave the owner pierced my nose for free!! Just an all round awesome place with really cool people and very chill vibe. They even feed me pizza?“
