Fernando did amazing on the turtle and Brandon did a great job on the rest! The shop is super chill and layed back!

Had a great experience with Jason. He was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. I told him to come up with a design of his own and he did not disappoint. He took extra time and care to make sure we got the placement and sizing correct. Checked in on me multiple times asking how the pain level was. Highly recommend!

Got a tattoo a couple of years ago. Super clean friendly environment. My artist was awesome. He drove the bus but I was good with it. The tattoo is perfect! I tried a couple of months ago to return to get another one but they were booked solid. I don't live in San Diego so coordinating a sitting is difficult. They have two shops across the street from each other. I highly recommend checking this place out and making an appointment. Walk-in is hard because of their popularity.

I had such a great experience at FunHouse Tattoo! All the stuff were so professional. The facility was clean and the staff did an amazing job before and after to keep their area clean. I highly reccomend this place!

Thank you Hunter

*Okay people please hear me out* I came in to this shop with a messed up work from a previous artist... it looked really bad... this was back in January I walked in and was greeted by "Hunter" please remember this name.... He was really nice and very professional. He explained everything to me from the work he does, to his colleagues work, his ideas to bring my tattoo back to life because it definitely looked like a sticker on my arm. I booked with Hunter for February 21, and I cannot express how much of a great job he did. I used to always feel embarrassed walking around with unfinished work on my arm. But he definitely has skills and got great vision to be able to fix my tattoo and earn my trust. I ended booking a second session on March 28th and getting almost all my sleeve work done from him and I will continue to get work done by "Hunter" I can't get enough credit for Hunter, thank you for the great work !!!!

I've been wanting to get a tattoo to cover up some self harm scars for a while but the whole process was so daunting that I kept pushing it back. I was so scared that the tattoo would make my scars more pronounced, but Julian did an amazing job. The whole experience was amazing. He explained everything from start to finish and made sure to give me enough breaks in between. Since I've gotten my tattoo my scars have significantly reduced. Initially they seemed bigger, but that's to be expected considering I just got stabbed my multiple needles repeatedly for about 4 hours. After a few days once the swelling went down I could feel a major difference. Some lines are still visible however with the scar therapy, Julian was able to get rid of the lumpiness of my scars. Also the flowers he created are so beautiful and well done that it distracts everyone's attention from any lines that were left over. I have my next consultation with him tomorrow and can't wait for my next piece. I would 10/10 recommend Julian especially if you are looking for scar therapy.

I showed Laura exactly what I wanted and she provided. Couldn't have asked for more. A quick and simple tat. Her communication was spot on re: what to expect, how long it would take, and most importantly aftercare. I don't live in the area and she was kind enough to fit me into her schedule. Thank you Laura!

Derek has been my Tattoo artist for a few years now and I have to say that he took the concepts that I had in my head and made them even better than I could have imagined! Funhouse tattoo is the only place I go for my ink work!!! Special thanks out to Julian who is another one of my favorite artists there!!! Every artist here is not only professional but they're cool, straight to the point, and 100% honest with what their opinion is on each piece they work on! Thank you Derek, Julian, and all the Funhouse tattoo artist that helped out with every piece that I had done here! Funhouse is my shop!!!

Let me start by saying we had a great experience with Leo today! Last night on a whim my sister and I decided we wanted to get tattoos and we were searching for the best place to go, when we stumbled upon Funhouse. We tried calling and didn't get a response and we were hoping we could get in the next day. So I sent an email and when I woke up today we had an email back from Leo letting us know he could get both of us in at noon just an hour after the shop opens! WHAT?! For such a high rated place I figured we were SOL but Leo from the jump was super nice and asked us what we were looking for and drew something up for us. My sister and I can be a lot when we are together very sarcastic and loud..... it's a blessing and a curse. The atmosphere was super relaxed and everyone was so nice, tattooers and tattooees lol it was a super experience he had several sizes we could choose from plus he threw together a design for us and helped pick the best placement for both. My sister is super talkative and he showed no signs of being annoyed which is always so nice. I on the other hand don't like to talk much and he didn't force small talk which I LOVE he made sure we were comfortable and dealt with my fidgeting sister with ease. I will definitely be back to see Leo. Thank you again for such an awesome experience!

Me and my boyfriend got matching tattoos done by Julian
Jessica Y.

I feel like because this place is in PB they charge too much but also it's in PB so am I surprised? Me and my dude decided to get matching tattoos and we chose the soot sprite from Spirited Away (Studio Ghibli) and Kiiroitori from the San-X Rilakkuma cartoon. The work was decent though my boyfriend felt that for the price the work was a bit rushed. Pictured are the side by side of our tattoos. The place was very clean and sanitized. All in all it's a decent shop and the artist was nice enough...

See all

I love Dr. Fabi so much. I've been seeing her for 10 years, and I genuinely look better now than…read morewhen I started. That says everything. She listens to my concerns and I have complete confidence that when she recommends something to me, she has my best interest in mind and the results are always natural. I always look like myself -- just better. I've referred multiple friends to her and they've all had the same experience. Highly recommend without hesitation.

I'm writing this review after intentionally waiting two full weeks to give everything time to…read moresettle. I was a long-time patient at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology and exclusively saw Dr. Loyal, who has since left the practice. I then booked with Dr. Sabrina Fabi for the first time, influenced by her large social media presence and how the front desk emphasized how hard it is to get an appointment with her. For context, I'm very experienced with Botox and have had it done many times in the same areas without issue. At this visit, I received Botox in my masseters, crow's feet, under-eye bag line, 11s, and forehead. None of these areas were new for me. Dr. Fabi arrived about 40 minutes late, which I was told is "typical." That night, I developed large, visible lumps in my masseters and additional bumps near my temples when opening my mouth. I'd never experienced anything like this before. I returned to the office two days later and was told it was "normal" and that Botox takes two weeks to settle. By the time of my follow-up appointment nearly a week later, my appearance was extremely abnormal. The best way I can describe it is that I looked like a mix between Chiseled Squidward and Quasimodo. I pay a premium to go to a cosmetic dermatology practice because this is my face, and I expect expertise, precision, and accountability. At the follow-up, I felt dismissed and gaslit. While the masseter issue was acknowledged, my main concern was new bumps near my eyes that I never had before. Dr. Fabi insisted they were always there, which is simply not true. I have clear before photos. When I said I felt my before looked better, her response was, "Oh, with your hooded eyes?" That comment felt unnecessary and unprofessional. It has now been over a week since the follow-up and the bumps are still present. I paid $1,500 and feel worse about my appearance than when I walked in. Botox has risks, but the lack of ownership and dismissal of my concerns is why I won't be returning. I'll be sharing photos so others can make an informed decision.
