This is my first tattoo at this shop and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. Monika was my artist and from the beginning she was super helpful with my design. This piece was designed for my wife and Monika was really invested in making it perfect for us. Knowing nothing about astrology, Monika designed the background off my wife's chart with me before starting the piece. Atmosphere of the shop is great; Monika is super personable and is excellent at her craft. The piece turned out amazing and is all due to Monika's attention to detail and preparation. Pricing is more than fair for the quality of work. 10/10 definitely recommend for your next tattoo and I will be returning for another piece in the future with her!

I cannot recommend this tattoo shop more. I got tattooed my Monica (Mo). She was amazing with the way she guided the session, helped make it memorable as I was there for a memorial tattoo dedicated to my mom, and was fun to talk with. The vibe of her booth was also pretty rad and added to the great experience. My tattoo came out amazing and absolutely gorgeous. 10/10 and will be back for more! read more

Bird Tattoos - My sweet cat tattoo on my forearm - Tattoo Near Me

**ONLY RATED THE ONE STAR BECAUSE I HAD TO RATE IT SOMETHING** We first called to find out about their walk ins and shop minimum and was told it was $100 and they had a specific person to do walk in so we can come whenever. When we came in one woman in our group wanted to get this tattoo and was shown three sizes with no price details until after she picked the size she was told it would be $130. She was being tattooed by the shop's apprentice, which apparently when that does happen you get charged a lower rate (understandably so). We still went along with the price because it was important for us to get tattooed together, but rightfully so we were very taken back. When we reached out to the shops Instagram to DM about the tattoo idea we were again told that that tattoo could in fact be done for the shops minimum. I explained to them our experience and was told that what they did was right and okay. That technically their shop lets each artist decide what they want to tattoo for the shops minimum. Then when asked about the lower rate being tattooed by the apprentice we were told that "her application has already been submitted and they are waiting back for a slip of paper and they haven't changed her bio on the website or social media." Now I could be mistaken but that slip of paper would be her certificate saying she is an actual artist and without it yes that still makes her an apprentice. I was told to let them now if I had any other questions and have a great day, when I followed up with more questions I was told "I owe you no future explanations." We were so excited to come in when we first called and even expressed that to the person on the phone, which she said she was the owner and that made her so happy, just to be given this experience and response is very upsetting and just a let down as a shop with nothing but women. Hopefully they do better by the next people but from the sounds of it I highly doubt that. read more

Bird Tattoos - $130 (lower rate) done by the shop's apprentice. The shop has a hundred dollar minimum. - Tattoo Near Me

Absolutely thrilled with the incredible work done by Juan Jimenez at Bird Tattoos & Piercings SD! I came in with a 24+ year-old tattoo that I never thought could be fully covered, but Juan worked his magic and transformed it into a stunning, full-color turtle that completely exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail, color work, and ability to breathe new life into an old piece is nothing short of phenomenal. Not only is Juan a true artist, but he's also kind, professional, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. I've received so many compliments already, and I couldn't be happier. If you're looking for someone who can turn your tattoo dreams into reality -- especially challenging cover-ups -- Juan is the one to go to. 10/10 recommend! read more

I had such a great experience getting my tattoo from Savanna. She was amazing from start to finish. Super professional, incredibly clean, and made the whole process feel easy and fun. She took the time to place the design perfectly and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Her line work is beautiful and the tattoo came out exactly how I hoped. You can tell she really cares about her craft and her clients. I would absolutely go back to her and recommend her to anyone looking for a great tattoo artist. read more

Found our new shop for annual tattoo. Its in the walmart shopping lot. Waited a few minutes, and the artist was ready to go. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Artist knew what she was doing unlike other places that take an hour bs around before they get in there. Great work. Will be back every year going forward. Thanks Bird Tattoos. read more

Went in as a walk in and everyone was super nice. It was my first tattoo so I had questions. Monika was so incredibly patient with me and helped walk me through everything! I absolutely love how it turned out! Can't wait to go back! read more

Tattoo Review for Monika Light - Thai Tiger Back Piece I came home for holiday block leave knowing I wanted to get a Thai tiger tattoo on my back, and I couldn't have asked for a better artist than Monika Light. She absolutely killed it! From start to finish, the experience was amazing, and the final result completely blew me away. The amount of detail she put into this piece is insane. Every line is crisp, the shading is flawless, and the way she brought the tiger to life is unreal. She really took the time to make sure everything was perfect, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her craft. The design is bold, powerful, and exactly what I wanted--if not better. Aside from her insane talent, Monika is also super professional and easy to work with. She made sure I was comfortable the whole time, explained everything clearly, and kept such a good vibe throughout the session. It's obvious she puts her heart into what she does, and it really shows in her work. If you're looking for an artist who is not only insanely talented but also professional and passionate about what they do, I highly recommend Monika. I couldn't be happier with my tattoo, and I'll definitely be coming back for more in the future! 10/10 experience! read more

I got my third lobes and rook pierced by Miss V. She did an amazing job and took me step by step through the process, she very precise as well! The spacing was perfect and she allowed me to put my thoughts and opinions as well. She gave me amazing tips and offered advice, which is greatly appreciated. She is amazing! :) Everyone there was very friendly and you can tell they know what they are doing and are great at it. The shop is clean and has great decor all over (which is very fun to look at), there's tattoo books and other things to look at as well to keep you busy if you happen to be waiting. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing or tattoo! I'll definitely be back :D Also, s/o to Lily -- I can't wait to come back and get a tattoo, all your work looks amazing! read more

I absolutely LOVE this shop. I've received both piecing two weeks ago and Veronica was so gentle! I was so nervous for my belly ring and her being patient and reassuring made all the difference! 10/10 recommend her for all your piercings needs! read more

Piercer (V) is one of the worst "professional" piercers I have ever seen in my life. Insanely disrespectful and has no idea how to do her job correctly. I would go for a tattoo from an artist here but save yourself a crooked piercing and get pierced by somebody who knows what they're doing and isn't on an ego trip. read more

Great artist and fun experience! Just got a pretty blue and purple hummingbird tattoo on my forearm, and I am very pleased with it. It was a great experience having Monica Light do the tattoo, and the shop is clean, and very calm. No pain and excellent communication before and during the process. read more
