James Nelson Eden Tattoo Gallery…read more I had the privilege of James Nelson bringing my Lotus Flower Bomb tattoo into existence!! He was super patient working with me...considering all of my input and making suggestions when I wasn't sure. James showed me a few sketches and even combined the two I liked to make the perfect rendition. Mannnnnnnnn, when I tell you he created a masterpiece, I'm not exaggerating! The black and white sketch was amazing, but the finished product with color was absolutely breathtaking. It is honestly 100 times better than I had imagined it. Super customer service and he even squeezed me in last min so I could have it done by my birthday! Oh yeah...almost forgot to mention that this tat is also a cover up to go over a 31 year old tat. James did the job seamlessly!!! Beautiful work and very reasonably priced! What more could you ask for?!?!? The shop is a very nice spot with a good vibe from all the artists. Easy to find, cheap paid parking down the street if you can't find a spot. Highly recommend!!

I lost my sweet Maltese boy Charlie earlier this year in April. Although I said I would never get a…read moretattoo again, I knew I needed to have one with my boy on me everyday to have him close & I remember following Cindy about a year prior I believe when I found her through Instagram. Right away I reached out & was happy to get an appointment in July which gave me time to work through some grief & have something to look forward to. I actually get so nervous with tattoos, but Cindy's either got a light hand or she's just magic, I rarely felt any pain through the tattoo process. I loved the options she laid out for picking a size that allowed us to try several options before the session began. I was so happy with the outcome. I'll take a look when it's healed to see if we need to do any touchups but so far, my heart is in a good place today. Thank you Cindy for bringing extra comfort & peace to my heart by doin such a good job showcasing my sweet boy forever. Forever grateful.

I came across Cindy when I saw an ad on Instagram account for a promotion she was a holding for…read morefine line flash tattoos. I looked at her work + reached out to her because I saw a lovely rose I wanted to get since I'm a June baby + a rose is the flower for June. She responded to my message within about an hour + was not only very sweet, but answered all of my questions + was very open to helping me get exactly what I was looking for. I ended up booking with her for the following week + when I reached out before the appointment to ask a couple of follow-up questions, she was, again, very responsive + helpful. The day of the appointment was great as well! The studio she works out of in Bankers Hill was super cute, clean, + spacious. I had a couple of placement ideas when I came in but I ended up deciding on the first spot we tried. Cindy has a very light hand + the tattoo turned out so lovely! I'm planning to go in soon to get the line darkened just slightly, but I'm so happy with it + definitely plan to get another piece from her in the future!! Thank you so much Cindy!! Please check her out on Instagram: @beautyofriopmu

My wife and I were visiting San Diego and per usual decided on an impromptu tattoo. I had…read moreresearched a couple of shops knowing we'd walk-in to one at some point. Axiom was everything we could've hoped for! Alex greeted us and was super sweet and kind! From the moment we walked in we felt so welcomed. Xander was our tattoo artist and I am so happy we were able to get connected with him. He was so friendly from the get-go. We showed him our tattoo idea (sun and wave vibe), he took them and tweaked them to be our own individually. He was patient and had no problem tweaking the designs based on our input. Just a super cool dude!! We truly enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be back (future trips and when we move back ;) ). Thank you Xander for capping this trip off for us. We will be back to see you for more!!

10/10 would recommend this place. I have gotten 2 tattoos from here already with Xander. The shop…read moreit's self is nice and even though it's in PB I haven't really had a problem with parking. Everyone is nice and it seems they each have their own niche. While I have been there I notice they all seem to be very friendly, informative and honest. Xander is great. My first tattoo here was a silhouette of my kids and he recently just did a floral wrap on my arm and this wrap will eventually finish my sleeve. I appreciate that he takes his time. He had a couple of suggestions I didn't think about, that I honestly think makes the tattoo look better than what I initially envisioned. Xander is very friendly, feels like you're hanging out with a friend while getting a tattoo. Every time I go in, I walk out with my next idea LOL

Golden Days is a solid choice for your tattoo needs. I have recommended this place to co-workers,…read morefriends and family. Everyone who works at this shop is kind, approachable, and willing to listen to your ideas. If you live nearby, walking distance or are a little bit of a drive away, I'd suggest checking out all the artist's instagram pages and seeing if anyone's tattoos speak to you. This shop can do your simple line tattoos as well that you find from Pinterest, but do check out their work if you're are considering something bigger than a few words. This is a solid shop here in SD. This shop is around some good food options if you get hungry. I have been tattooed here by Francis and he is a gentle giant with a light tattooing hand. Francis can give you a clean, bold, and legible tattoo that will stand the test of time. He has tattooed me and I got a rose that is drawn-to-fit. See picture. Anyone who offers to draw a piece on without a stencil is worth the time. Francis has tattooed myself little brother as well and I don't send my family to just anyone off the street either.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience from beginning to end. Thanks so much Lexy!!

Lavish tattoo is a super clean and professional shop…read more Ames is the artist who created these two pieces in the photos below. A very special tribal leg piece that he freehand designed on the back of my thigh. Also the knuckle tattoos done in an old English font. Ames is an extremely talented and creative artist who exceeded my expectation of my tattoos. His ability to really listen to the idea and put that idea onto a paper and then into skin.... is incredible. His work is super clean and beautiful! I highly recommend Ames at Lavish Tattoo Company . He's very knowledgeable and offers great customer service. The shop has other artists who offer many styles of tattoos to choose from. All in all, a lot of talented and professional artists.
