I went in earlier in the year to get my lobes pierced and the piercer could not have pierced it worse. It has been 4 months, I cleaned it everyday, and it still wouldn't heal (I had a huge irritation bump on both my ears). I went to another known piercer in the area I actually live in, and they told me the piercer pierced my ears so bad that it goes through 3x more tissue than it should've (the piercing was completely crooked). I had to take them out, and even though its been over a month since I took mine out, I still have bumps on the back of my ear, and they still hurt when I touch them. DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE! Waste of my $70. read more

I knew that I wanted a seventh piercing and after much research, I found Deep Blue and Deane and couldn't be happier post-piercing of my rook yesterday. Deane is kind, knowledgeable and a pro at his job. I live on the East Coast but will be back for my next piercing soon with Deane on my next trip. If you are anywhere near the Central Coast, make sure you schedule Deane for your piercings. read more

I've gotten multiple piercings and tattoos here I love the staff they're professional, friendly and the place is super clean and organized...if u want a great piercing see Deane and I personally have Clifton for my tattoo artist but they all do great work! read more

Deane did double ear piercing and it was painless! He was so nice and made it perfect. And I'm picky! Definitely coming back

This review is mostly for my experience with the piercer: Deane did a great job with my 2nd lobe piercings when I went in mid-April. He then, a few days later, was running a deal for $20 piercing if you do 3 or more and it was worth it. He's clean, fast, calm and communicative. I ended up with 5 new piercings in 2 days. They have all healed well and I've had no problems at all. As far as the shop vibe; it's among the better groups I've seen in the SLO area. I liked my experiences at Tiger Rose (in Pismo, now closed) and Keith Duggan's Ink Dynasty but I'd rather go to Deep Blue. Everyone was nice and the shop was ~busy~ both times I went in. read more

Got my lip, second lobes, nostril and septum done here by Deane! He's incredible at what he does and the only person I'll go to for any sort of piercing. He knows what he's talking about, knows proper placement and anatomy, and he does a damn good job. I felt hardly any pain with any of these piercings, I was incredibly impressed. If you're thinking of getting a new piercing or maybe an old one re-pierced, or fixing one that wasn't done right, he's your guy to go to 100%. read more

Deep Blue Tattoo - Perfect tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Grover Beach, California

I have been working on a full back piece in memory of my Grammies since mid 2008 with Grey, and couldn't be happier. I spent a lot of time researching artists work and meeting them from all around the area, I was prepared to travel a little if I had to. After all of my research I decided Deep Blue was definitely the best selection for a clean tattoo shop filled with amazingly talented artists with unique styles and friendly personalities, and even better it was a 5 minute drive from my house. I then decided Grey would be best suited to do the style of tattoo I wanted with his amazing eye for detail and unique style. I had also been referred here by countless friends and seen their awesome tattoos. All the other shops I went to were extremely rude, and their work was all stuff I'd seen a thousand times before, not to mention how dirty the shops and artists themselves seemed.. Deep Blue was the obvious choice. I've seen people crying over their tattoos from other places locally and I'm glad I was smart enough not to end up like that! When going about putting permanent art work on your body, do your research and you'll end up with Deep Blue coming out on top... trust me. I'd give them 10 stars if I could! read more

Got my Industrial bar and nose pierced. Very nice and clean place. Ryan was very professional and easygoing. He made sure I was comfortable with everything. Overall experience was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place. read more

5 star service and quality. My fiancée and I came in pretty late as walk ins. The guys were super chill and accommodating. They took the time to consult with us, drew up custom tatts and went to town immediately. I had Ryan. Both guys were great. The work speaks for itself. Great lines, good shading, the mrs. color turned out incredible! Definitely will be going back for more. read more

Now mind you, I don't have a lot of experience with tattoos, but since this place was recommended to me by a few people I thought I'd give it a go. I phoned to make an appointment, and I know I sounded like a dope, but the guy that answered the phone was SUPER patient, not patronizing or rude - he made my day. The day arrived, a friend went with me for moral support, and to have an additional tattoo for herself as well, (her's was BEAUTIFUL). My appointment was with Joey. I truly lucked out. What an awesome person. I couldn't ask for a sweeter guy! The entire shop was really cool, and all the guys were VERY nice. I showed Joey what I wanted, he made a few suggestions and options and we got to work. I work in the dental field so we got to talking about, and comparing sterilizing regulations between the two fields. It's amazing the care, and obvious infallible standards this shop adheres to. I felt very comfortable with the sterilization and cleanliness of the shop. I'm so happy with my tattoo, and Joey gave me awesome aftercare instructions. I have perfect confidence in this shop and with Joey. I couldn't ask for better. I'm so glad this was my first experience...it won't be my last. I'm already contemplating my second tattoo.... read more

These guys are the best! Super clean and professional. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere as well. I had my nose pierced there a month ago and Ryan took plenty of time to make sure it was done perfectly to my liking. He then ordered the specific ring I wanted to put in once the swelling went down and did an awesome job with that as well. Also, I have another nose ring and Ryan made this piercing and recovery much less painful than my previous one! 100% recommend Deep Blue! read more

Recently had a tattoo done by Grey & it came out perfect. He also showed me some "new old school" rap music that I ended up liking. Great experience & can't wait to go back to get some more ink done! Definitely not my last time. read more

I have had several tattoos from different locations throughout my life. From Washington state to Virginia. Once I moved to California I was getting the craving for more ink. I went to many different shops(Lompoc, SM, 5 cities area) before finally deciding on this one. As soon as I walked in I was welcomed with friendliness and professionalism. Everyone has been extremely personable and awesome to deal with. I've had extensive work since my first time walking in here over 3 years ago. I would highly recommend you stop by. read more

They deserve all their good reviews. I got my first industrial and nose piercing and I was kind of nervous about it . But he made me feel very comfortable and gave me time to relax and get ready . Also he asked me if I was comfortable if I needed to wait for the next piercing . He was so caring and made conversation and was very personable and made it very easy to keep my mind off the pain especially the industrial . He made the experience super easy and I definitely will be going there for more piercings and maybe even some ink read more

We really liked this place when we were first coming here. Or more so, we loved our tattoo artist Joey McDaniel. However when they had a parting of the ways, they wouldn't even bother telling me where he was now working. The first five times I called they just said he wasn't in at the moment. They must have got sick of me calling because they finally told me his new shop. Very unprofessional and childish to say the least. The lost a great artist and friend. Their bad. read more

I absolutely love this place. They've always been good to me. Joey did the tattoo on the top of my right foot and out of the tattoos I have, it's my favorite. He did a great job and was really professional. I'm actually going to try to get in tomorrow and price out another tattoo. Hopefully I'm able to get it done! :) read more

Clean, attentive and functional little place. Ryan did an industrial bar piercing and I barely felt it! We talked about what I wanted, he gave me options and recommendations.
