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.

I have to say that Dean is a Artist! I went to him with some ideas and asked him to give me a sleeve that would be Jaw dropping and He did that and more. All (free hand) and with a imagination that's out of this world. He took the time to draw out his ideas and after seeing his drawings I gave the green light only to be Blown away time after time on the end result! If 5 stars is all I can give then they should GLOW!! GREAT ARTIST HAN DOWN! Anyone that's not quite sure of what exactly they want. Talk to dean hell he has over 25 years of Tattooing and may be able to help you get the tat you Really want. I'm Sorry to say That we LOST a GREAT TATTOO ARTIST... read full review

My step mom and I are on vacation here in SD and scheduled an appointment for both of us to get tatted at SoCal Tattoo. We were welcomed with open arms by the owner and one of the tattoo artists. Super friendly and professional the whole time. I told them I wanted the Lotus flower and both were incredibly patient while I figured out where I wanted it to be. T did the tattoo and we laughed the whole time… it was practically painless! I told him I needed it to be perfect and perfection is exactly what he delivered. Beyond happy with the result. Very much recommend SoCal Tattoo to anyone local or visiting the area!!
