Good Fortune Tattoo - Colorful cover up of an ugly seagull. - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

Quick bday tatt! They accommodated me on a walk in, mid afternoon on a weekday. I wanted a simple tattoo. Waited about 20 mins for the owner and he hooked me up. Giving 4 stars because I wasn't aware of the minimum. My fault for not asking, but I should've been told. Anyways $100minimum, at least what I was charged. Is that norm or overcharge? Idk but HBD to me lol Cool shop vibe right off Broadway. Music was dope. read more

Good Fortune Tattoo - Still healing but tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

One of my friends wanted to get a Tattoo. He happened to come across an Instagram Reel and that's how we found Good Fortune Tattoo! The one time that when your phone listens to your conversations actually turned out to be good! Making an appointment was easy. Call the number, and they will give you another number to text (to send a photo of tattoo, size of tattoo, and where on the body). They come back with a quote, and then ask for deposit money if moving forward with appointment. There was availability like a week later (in December 2024). Alex, the shop owner, was the artist for my friend's angel tattoo. The shop itself was really clean. The tattoo artist will do a mockup of the tattoo, size, etc for visual approval before proceeding. Tattoo itself took a few hours with a break in between. Vibe was chill. Loved it! read more

This shop is one of the best I have found. I had an idea for a realistic chrome style piece I'd been wanting to do for years. I found Alex on Instagram (@ls_tattoo_art) and messaged him the idea. He worked with me for hours to make it exactly what I envisioned. It turned out better than what I had in my head. The work speaks for itself. The shop is clean, comfortable and professional and the staff is great. Go here! read more

Zhu is incredibly talented and honored my design request. I wanted a hummingbird and ice cream in color. She adjusted the vision and brought about a design that I really love. She's incredibly professional and focused and as you can see she did a great job on the coloring. Dylann is great with intake and made sure I was prepared for your session. Alex and everyone else in the shop were very cordial. I will be back for my next tattoo. This shop is a gem and very nice inside and out. read more

Good Fortune Tattoo - Tattoo by Zhu - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

This shop is everything and more...they just check all the boxes from super friendly service, a clean and inviting shop, responsive communication, and of course, a talented roster of artists. I had my tattoo done for my birthday by the amazing Zhu and it was such an amazing experience I'm already itching for another- literally and figuratively. She gave me an expert consultation that immediately made me trust her as an artist. My tattoo was vastly different from her usual style but she took ownership of it and killed it. Some tattoo shops can be intimidating especially when some artists are oozing with talent with a side of ego that nobody asked for, but this shop is not like that at all. It would be shocking if I ever search for another shop because I will only be coming back here for tattoos now. I will recommend this spot to anyone who asks. read more

Good Fortune Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

I discovered Milan's work on Instagram and was immediately impressed by his artistic talent and expertise in realistic tattoos. When I met him, he was super cool and easy to talk to. After booking my appointment, we stayed in touch on Instagram, where he helped me refine my idea to create the perfect tattoo. This was my first tattoo, and Milan went out of his way to put my mind at ease. He explained everything clearly and reassured me with his "light touch," which he said makes his work less painful compared to a heavier hand. On the day of my session, I was excited but really anxious. Milan reassured me that it wouldn't be as bad as I expected, and once we started, he was amazing! It was a long session, but he kept checking in with me to make sure I was comfortable. He was extremely professional and mindful throughout the entire process. I also noticed that the other artists at Good Fortune create incredible work as well. I can't recommend Milan enough! I'm already planning to finish my sleeve with him. If you're looking for a great artist, go see Milan--you won't be disappointed! read more

My wife and I went in on Halloween this year for their pin up specials. They had some very bad ass tats to choose from but we ended up creating our own.

The artist were very attentive and interested in our art choices.

I had my first tattoo done here by a recommendation from a friend. I went big with two forearm tattoos so I was a little nervous and not knowing what to expect. Milan was my artist and what a pleasure it was to have him share his talents permanently on my body. From beginning to end he captured exactly what I wanted and was the nicest guy I've met in a very long time. The outline to shading was insanely good. All the positive reviews are 100% true and I have a new friend for life. See you soon for my sleeve's read more

Alex is a true master of tattoo art in the San Diego area. My girlfriend and I both got pieces done from him, and from the first consultation to the touch-up, he has been nothing but professional and couldn't have asked for a better-looking tattoo. Also, Alex makes you feel like part of the family when you become a client of his, and that is more than I could've ever asked for in a tattoo artist especially since this was my first one. Thanks, Alex, for the hospitality, the work, and being an amazing guy overall! read more

When I first arrived at the studio a Ukrainian gentleman helped me, I'm sorry i didn't catch his name he was very helpful and got me scheduled for the next day with Zhu. After arriving for my appointment Zhu had everything ready for me to pick the font for my name on my tattoo and she was very attentive to what I wanted and offered suggestions. Zhu took her time and made sure it matched to what I wanted. She payed attention to detail and didn't rush her work. She offered me breaks and drinks while I was getting tattooed. I am extremely happy with the results and I will be going back to her for my next tattoo. read more

Aleksander the ukraine artist was very rude and seemed very bothered by me & my smallest simple requests. tattoo did come out alright I guess but wasn't what I truly wanted not to mention he showed up 2 HOURS LATE to a SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT we had arranged!! Also was very fussy over nothing which left me confused... truly disappointed with his unprofessional attitude towards me especially since i was waiting forever for him. Will be taking my business else where for future projects. on top of that instead of addressing the unprofessional behavior from my review of my experience the owner says i'm lying smhhh shame on u!!!!!! i went to 7/11 across the street to get food bc ur artist made me wait over 2 hours for scheduled appointment two other tattoo artist there kept apologizing to me for the hold up so before u go and try discredit me get ur facts straight! goes to show how unprofessional u are when it comes down to ur costumers experience and my review will stay up because it's 1000% true read more
