    BEST TATTOO SHOP ON THE PENINSULA!!! I found out about this shop through a friend who highly recommended this place. I have been getting tattoos my whole life and am almost completely covered. I've had several artist display their art on my body. I have to give a special shout out to this youngster named Lorenzo at this shop who is insanely talented!! Pure raw talent and I have a feeling this kid will be world famous someday. Anyway, he's in the beginning of her journey yet better than most people who have been tattooing for years. If you want really quality pieces without having to pay a fortune, come holler at Lorenzo and he will be happy to book you. No waiting list either. Check out my pics of his work he's done on me so far

    If you were looking for a good Tattoo Artist in the bay area, I would highly recommend this tattoo shop. I've gotten multiple tattoos done by Mitsuko and she is one one the nicest people you can have as a tattoo artist. She makes you feel welcome and happy to meet new people and familiar faces as well. I have really bad anxiety and she understands that, and makes it easier to have a conversation with her while I am getting a tattoo done by her. She is more than then happy to talk to me as I'm getting the tattoo and checks in on me as well. The tattoo shop is very clean and the vibes are there. Positive energy and makes you feel like you never wanna leave.

    Ate Ching and I were finally able to bring this mermaid piece to its final touches!! My sentimental value with this tattoo was really brought to life and I couldn't have this done without Ate's support and talent .

    Artist; Ching did my girls name on my ribcage

    CHING and the artists here are incredibly talented and a joy to be around. I highly recommend this studio to anyone that is seeking to have their tattoo ideas realized. Ching did my roses at my shoulder, my kids name on my ribcage and the "I LOVE YOU"

    I recently started a memorial tattoo for my grandmother, and the portrait was the first piece--and it came out absolutely beautiful. The realistic detail is incredible and captures her perfectly. I originally just wanted her picture, but my artist made it even more meaningful by suggesting we incorporate birth flowers for my two kids and my grandmother. It's such a thoughtful touch that made the design truly special. She's an amazing artist--so thorough and detail-oriented. You can tell she's a perfectionist who really cares about her work. She actually did my upper arm piece about five years ago, so I was long overdue to come back. Not only is she professional and respectful, but she's also such a great person to talk to--an awesome human being all around. I still have more sessions to go to finish the full piece, but this portrait alone already means so much to me. The shop has a great vibe--clean, welcoming, and full of good energy. I love her work and everything about the experience. Highly recommend! Ching is absolutely everything and more that you can ask for in an artist.

    I met Ching 4 years ago, instantly fell in love with her personality and "i can do whatever you want" answer when i brought my friend (visiting from Germany) in to get a very personal (significant) artsy stylish tattoo. CHING NAILED IT; we all cried because it was exactly how my friend wanted it (honoring the memory of her recently passed mother)! Since that moment i knew i wanted a tattoo from her...and i have now had MANY tattoos done by Ching to which i am ALWAYS getting compliments on! Additionally, i am all about referring people who i 100% trust and believe in...and so now many of my friends and acquaintances now call Ching their artist! Thank you Ching for always seeing my vision and making it happen, and never ever with one regret, question, or doubt! You're the best!!!

    9/4/23 I was so pleased to hear that Lyfestyle Ink had opened another shop not to far away from their original spot. My last two tattoos were done at the original Lyfestyle Ink by Daniel and another by a female artist (sorry I don't remember her name). My experience there and at the new location have both been great. I had my moon phases tattoo done by Ching that day. It took about 30-40 minutes, the quickest tattoo I've ever had. She did a fantastic job and gave me detailed aftercare instructions also. Ching has a super friendly and sweet demeanor. Anyone who gets Ching as their artist will not regret having her. Honestly, everyone at Lyfestyle Ink is super welcoming and kind. I look forward to getting my next tattoo with Lyfestyle Ink!

    Check out Lorenzo! Besides being such a sweet person he is super talented! Everyone there is patient and kind and all around great artists. They accept both walk ins and appointments. 5

    My first ever tattoo in my life! My friend recommended me to Mitsuko Ching as my tattoo artist. Her artwork is so damn beautiful. Ching is a sweetest person I ever meet and made sure I felt very comfortable since it was my first time. It was pretty nerve wrecking at first but it went well and the pain wasn't too bad as I expected. The studio is very clean and this really changed my life! I will definitely go back to Ching for my 2nd tattoo in future!

    Mitsuko Ching is very experienced, talented and caring . All my tattoos since I have turned 18 have been very positive experiences and I'm always felt like I'm in the best care possible !

    I JUST got a butterfly tramp stamp done by Mitsuko. I highly recommend booking with her, she's a perfectionist and she always keeps your input in mind. She is also the sweetest omg I love her

    Ching and the team at Lyfestyle II are the best!!! I've gotten all my work done by Ching and have recommended her to my friends and family. If you need some work done and you're in the San Mateo area, this is the place to go, you won't be disappointed. Can't wait for my next therapy session!!!

    Finally had time to check out Lyfestyle Ink 2 Once I entered, Ching remembered me after not seeing her in a long time(maybe 3 years). I knew she probably wasn't available with not having an appointment but luckily Marissa was able to assist my walk-in. Thank you Marissa for taking time to add a small piece to my arm. I always wanted a yin yang to represent the balance I need to practice for myself and confront on a daily basis. The dragon represents my Chinese zodiac and appreciate the white you suggested. Already planning another day for a piece on my leg fyi, artwork on the walls are amazing. Check Lyfestyle Ink 2 when you can

    Ching is THE BEST!

This amazingly talented artist, Airu (@honeybeetattoo_airu) doesn't usually do touch-ups or add color (after so many years later). But considering we went to her to mark the year my healing began, it was extremely important to go back to her to commemorate what I was celebrating that day - the official end to my breast cancer journey.

She sent over a quote, I put down a $200 deposit to lock in the appointment, and that was that. It was my first tattoo, so I went in not really knowing what to expect. Tina immediately made it easy - super warm, easy to talk to, and genuinely attentive. She gave honest input, suggested tweaks where it made sense, and really took the time to understand what I wanted. We narrowed it down to a few designs, and she printed them in different sizes so we could play with placement. That part was actually really helpful! I didn't feel rushed at all. Once everything felt right, we got started. Tina walked me through what she was doing as she set up, and even told me when she was about to begin, which I appreciated. The tattoo itself was way less painful than I'd built it up to be. She's incredibly precise and has a really light touch. She also made sure I left with clear aftercare instructions and answered every question I had. Overall, such a great first experience. I'll definitely be back for another!

However, after my daughter suddenly passed away at…read moreage 30 in 2022, I wanted to have something that keeps her spirit with me and will always be with me wherever I go and whatever I do. After about a year of introspection, I decided that a memorial tattoo for my daughter would be highly appropriate for me. After much research on local Tattoo shops, I decided to work with Morningstar Tattoo Parlor. When I first visited Morningstar, I was amazed that this parlor was not like tattoo parlors as portrayed in the media. Morningstar occupies a spacious, clean, comfortable, and professional series of suites on the second and third floors of their building. They are by appointment only, original artwork only, and they have several policies that strike me as highly professional. When I reached out to Morningstar, Jordi Simmons returned my call, and after a brief conversation, I felt comfortable proceeding with Jordi as my tattooist. My whole experience with Jordi, given her professionalism, creativity, artistry, and skill was outstanding! Jordi and I initially met for about 2 hours, and she really took the time to understand why I wanted this tattoo, what my what my daughter was like in life (the good and the bad), my spiritual beliefs regarding life, sentience and death, and other topics personally relevant and meaningful to me. Jordi also clearly described what she could and could not do with tattoo designs, such as font sizes, resolution, and other things to consider with the design. I gave Jordi some initial concepts of what might work for a design concept as a starting point. Over the next 4 months Jordi and I periodically corresponded via email about design concepts to be considered. When I arrived on the day we had scheduled for the tattoo to be applied, we hadn't yet settled on a final design, and Jordi presented the latest design she developed for me. I was absolutely blown away at the design she created! The design is way beyond anything I had thought possible. The image Jordi created for me captures an amazing amount symbolism about what my daughter was like in life, my spiritual beliefs regarding life and death, and other aspects of my daughter's short life. The images, and even the relative placement of numbers, text, and images carries deep symbolism and meaning for me. Jordi quickly incorporated some very small changes to the design based on my feedback, and then it was time to apply the tattoo. The initial application was a 3-hour sitting at Jordi's station, toward the end of which, my skin was getting irritated enough that Jordi advised that we should stop, because continuing the application that day could compromise the quality of the final tattoo. Because of this, we ended our session for the day and scheduled a second sitting 3 weeks later. During the interim time between the first and second application, I researched Tattoo best practices for design and application. This helped me really understand in detail that Jordi had carefully planned of the tattoo's overall size, orientation, and placement that otherwise I would not have noticed. Everything Jordi did was according to the best practices I researched; Jordi planned for a tattoo that will displays and ages well. We finished the tattoo during our second sitting of about an hour and a half and I am beyond happy with the final product. The final tattoo is much more than I ever thought possible in so many ways. Jordi is an amazingly talented and insightful artist who happens to also be a pro at applying tattoos as well. Everything about my experience with Morningstar Tattoo Parlor far exceeded my expectations.
