Not sure if Rocky still tattoos here, but her line work was exactly what I was looking for when I got this memorial piece done. Highly recommend the shop!

I can't say enough good things about my experience here. The tattoo I got was high quality and required a few hours of work. Cari was super awesome throughout the entire process and was super helpful when making suggestions and recommendations. I loved the whole studio and everything was super clean. Scheduling and payment was fast and easy as well. I can't wait to get my next tattoo from here!

Make sure you have your own design (or a simple design in mind) when you approach Justin. He made my consultation appointment in the middle of someone else's tattoo appointment. When she was ready for a break, he set down his gun and came over for a quick chat. It lasted less than ten minutes - we never even sat down. He didn't ask for any references photos, though I sent some anyway, and he didn't take any notes on what I wanted. Just a quick chat, a $40 nonrefundable deposit, and adios. I had a bad feeling from the jump, and I was right. Three weeks later came my appointment and the designs weren't at all what I asked for. I asked for a skull, he drew a fully-fleshed head. I asked for something to go on the inner arm, he drew big thigh pieces. I love Justin's style and am sad I wasn't able to be tattooed by him, but I lost confidence in him at this point. I felt like all my requests had gone completely unheard, and it made me uncomfortable to be tattooed by someone who was so clearly on a different page than me.

Great studio in San Diego. Wide variety of artists. I had Kris N, she did great work on my tattoo.
