I have an entire sleeve in the works by Jess. Her color, creativity and conversation is top notch! I have followed her to this shop and it's a great one! Everyone is laid back and great artists. Highly recommend!

Jess has worked on a couple of my tattoos! She is truly such an amazing artist and can definitely help you make your design unique and amazing! She is such a great vibe and super friendly. She makes your experience all about you and makes it so easy to talk to her! I have been following her for sometime now since I've moved to San Diego 7 years ago! I can't wait to work on another project together!

Had the best time getting tattooed by Jess. Absolutely loved the vibe of the store. Really makes it easy to pick out pieces I liked when there's tattoo options everywhere. It was a clean, quick session. I'll definitely be back for more. They have a great "Get What You Get" random tattoo design game for $100 too.

THE coolest fish tattoo ever

First off, let me tell you Jess is possibly maybe arguably, THE greatest artist to grace this planet. This is my very first tattoo ever and it was even in a location that was very tender, yet she made it as comfortable as possible and even laughed at my corny jokes! She and the whole team there grouped together and came up with this masterpiece that even DaVinci himself couldn't recreate. She came up with the whole idea and design even after saying she's never quite done a tattoo that abnormal, despite that, she made this a piece that would be forever cherished and shown off to everyone who will listen. Thank you Jess for this amazing experience! I wish I had more time in San Diego to let you do more works of art! This whole establishment is just an amazing vibe with nice folks from all over and I highly recommend this to anyone in the Navy or Marines or just anyone who is even curious about it, please go and see Jess and anyone else there!

Beau knows his craft with precision and speed! This was my first tattoo, but my wife has had quite a few, and we both were super impressed . Great attitude and atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, clean space and again skill and speed. Anyone looking to get a great tattoo and a great price needs to come on in and get a consult, you won't be disappointed!

Get What You Get Tattoo

My husband and I went in and did a Get What You Get tattoo. Ariel did an amazing job, these tattoos are way bigger than you would expect. Such an incredible deal for $100!! It was about 5"x3" which is so much larger than most shops. I highly recommend coming here. Such a chill shop and so much fun!!! Also the Get What You Get is available everyday, we just walked right in and got it!

A Badass Hello Kitty

When I gave Beau my ideas for these memorial tattoos, he promised he could give me a much better image of my vision. And he delivered. Beau took his time and worked up the best representation to capture it all. My parents were fun-loving and had a crazy sense of humor so the best way to represent them was to show them in cartoon form. My stepfather and his weird affinity for squirrels and my mom's love of vodka made for a humorous piece. He also literally did the best representation of my best friend that anyone could have. She was cute and a badass. The Hello Kitty is BOSS!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Artists are great at what they do, professional, hilarious and it's all around good vibes at this shop. I've been tattooed by Beau many times and have had the pleasure of watching the other artists in their element. I have referred several friends to Beau who are always equally as impressed as I am. Beau always seems to know exactly what I want and how to do it. Great guy, super talented artist. Thanks, Beau!

I wasn't going to post this and let it slide but I was thinking about it and I should just give an honest review like i always do with the rest of my other tattoos. Well theirs a few things I didn't like about my Friday the 13th tattoo I got recently. The line work is kind of bad and looks crooked also my tattoo doesn't look like the mushroom on the spread sheet. I understand if you guys were trying to get to everyone that day but that doesn't excuse lazy work. Also the shading is pretty bad and very blotchy . I still think it's a cute tattoo overall but it could've been done more better you know? . The tattoo artist that did this tattoo was very nice and they had very good customer service, I'll give them that .

This place is great Jake is amazing at what he does . My husband ,brother in law and nephew got work done by Jake and they were beyond pleased.They received tons of compliments on their tattoos. The place is laid back,clean the prices are well worth it for the great job they do .Two thumbs up .

Shortly after Shaun finished my moth.

If I could rate higher I would. The old saying is "you get what you pay for" well Shaun at Lifetime tattoo gives you more than what you pay for without sacrificing quality. Shaun is my husband and I go to artist. We followed him from his old shop to this one, he's just that cool and good. His prices are so generous that I always felt the need to tip him generously and he deserves it. He kicks ass. I got my first piece yesterday to kick off my leg sleeve. I have to say... He is a downright pleasure to work with. He's open to changing things you don't like, great at interpreting pictures of what you want to get done, and patient with you, and takes his time when doing things. His coloring choices are on point too. Its a big thing to trust someone with your body, and I felt confident and safe with Shaun. I plan on going back to see him and get other work done too.

I drew it out, my artist cleaned up my drawing to make sure it was crisp. He placed everything in the perfect place.

Bruce Becerra is as absolutely amazing. I explained what I wanted and gave him free rein to design…read moreit based on what I've told him. It's an amazing tattoo, it's even better than what I imagined. Little details I never would have thought of. Also, the vibe in the shop was so chilled and comfortable. I've been to some shops that feel somewhat intimidating. Cynthia at the front was so friendly, even introduced me to the neighbourhood cat, Turbo, who is an absolute chonk. I highly recommend the place, the people are top notch, and the work is even better.

I'm disappointed more and more every day with my tattoo by Mike from bearcat tattoo. I showed up to…read morethis shop with an exact idea in mind and my artist was difficult to work with. He shot down my design and placement idea and kept suggesting different things that were not aligned with my vision. I was unfortunately persuaded by Mike and I'm so disappointed with the end result. Should have stuck to my gut. Now I'm stuck with this piece forever because this guy essentially pushed me into a direction I didn't want want to go. 0/10 would not recommend to anyone. Also, this guy charges you from the second you walk in the shop - I provided the entire tattoo inspo and design and he went with what he thought was cool and pushed me. Unfortunately I trusted him. Last time walk into this shop
