I LOVE THIS PLACE Let me start off by saying if I could give this place 100 stars I would. The shop is amazing, the artists are amazing, and I genuinely love everything about this location. I've been coming here ever since I moved to California and I've been tattooed by Roger, Brent, Arty, and Paulie and ALL of their work is amazing. Their linework and care for quality is beyond impressive. If you're looking for a good tattoo shop, this is the one read more

If you're in the market for an excellent professional tattoo go see Derek Huffman at Funhouse Tattoo in PB. They are rebranding to Redemption Ink but the artists will remain the same. Derek is amazing to work with. I started with an idea for a sunflower merged with a mandala design that highlights his skills in Polynesian style tattoos. Derek nailed the design first time! It was perfect and me and my wife got back to back matching tattoos. Thank you for the outstanding work. I love the way it turned out. The shop itself fits right into the beach vibe and is a relaxed place to get your ink work done. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. read more

Went for a walk in appointment with my boyfriend and Derek was so great to take us on short notice. It was my boyfriend's first tattoo and Derek was so great making sure he was comfortable and helping him pick out a font. He did an amazing job with my fine line tattoo and I am obsessed! It's so crispy. Can't wait to go back! Thanks again! read more

I made a review about how amazing this place, and especially ARTY, was 4 years ago now and after being 10 tattoos deep (out of the 14 I have) with Arty, I felt it was time again to write another. Not only is the quality unmatched, everyone here is good people. I've sent probably almost 10+ friends and family, shoot probably even strangers, here because of how much I trust Arty and this place. I mean, "art" is literally in his name. He's done some cover ups and corrections for me, but almost every tattoo he's done for me has been drawn up on the spot or physically on me. He's amazing and the only person I will ever truly trust to do any of my tattoos. Arty, thank you for being my part time therapist and always down with my ever changing ideas. You're the best. Everyone, GO TO HIM. read more

Fun house tattoo international guest house has THE BEST TATTOO ARTIST AROUND: BRENT!!! He did again!! I told him what I wanted and he delivered perfectly! He was so intrigued by the meaning and the colors of autism, those who asked he quickly said. " This is for his autistic son." I've never seen an artist so dedicated to their work. It was also very touching that he said he will post this to his social media to show his support to the autistic community. read more

Roger was great. We walked in with some ideas and he turned it into a piece of art. Easy to work with and they were very accomodating. It had been 17 years since my wife's last tattoo and he had a great manner in helping her with the pain. I would totally recommend him if you are new. We'll be back to work on an old tat that needs some life breathed into it. Great place! read more

I have been to Fun House before last year and I was very happy with my first visit. I asked for my last artist but he was on vacation so he recommended Derek for this couples tattoo. After reviewing his portfolio I was interested and set the date and time. Derek had great communication and understood what I wanted. He made the process simple from start to finish. Everything was clean, sterilized, and comfortable. He was easy to talk with and we both had a fun conversation while getting our tats. I recommend Fun House and the artists because the whole experience was great! The work speaks for itself and you get what you pay for. I will be going back for the next design I have planned. Thank you Derek! Mario and Brandi read more

Can I give more than 5 stars?! Yes I can. So from go the team at Funhouse we're on point. I was visiting San Diego for work and decided I wanted a tattoo. I have words in my arm and have been wanting to add to it. Not 100% sure on what I wanted until I saw a mural in my hotel and it clicked. So then I thought wouldn't it be cool to get that while I'm in town. So I jumped on Yelp and found a bunch of parlors. Then I started reading the reviews and Funhouse kept rising to the top, so I pulled the trigger and sent an email. Within 24 hours Seth, the mgr, reached out and started the process of helping me get with the right person. He forwarded me on to Jason and he contacted me within 15 minutes via text. We texted for two days and by the time I walked in today. He had my tattoo all figured out. He was honest about what could be done and what shouldn't be done. Which I completely appreciated, because he could have done my request and it would have been what I wanted but it wouldn't have been good. Thank you, Jason for being honest and upfront about what could fit in this space. Right then and there I knew that I would get a stellar tattoo. The shop is super cool, loved the murder folklore music and the artistic vibe of the joint. It was relatively quiet. A couple other artists were working on big pieces and both were cool. Jason was great he explained the process and gave hai expert advice and opinion and I appreciate that, because that's what he supposed to do. From start to finish, beyond amazing. So I got an amazing butterfly to tell the stories of my travels and to remind me to be the change. Thanks for being the first to add to this sleeve, this work in progress. Jason is super cool and an amazing artist. Go see him, whether your a local or a traveler like me! Thanks to Jason for a great way to cap this trip. read more

Would definitely come back. read more

Nice, clean, and professional shop with some great artists! Thanks for the upgrade to my 20-year old tattoo, R2 (Ryan)! (see attached before and after pics) I have spent several hours in the shop and have enjoyed every minute of it (--will update my review once my larger tattoo is finished; looking fantastic so far). The place was pretty busy with walk-ins on a Saturday. The artists graciously accepted as many as they could in a short amount of time and did some really nice work on them. My artist, R2, is honest, attentive, extremely professional and accommodating. He texted back and forth with me with pics to make sure we were seeing eye-to-eye prior to starting any work. It has made the process very smooth. It can be stressful to find a tattoo artist who "gets you," but I was fortunate to find R2 and to be able to trust that he understood what I wanted. read more

Long overdue on a review for here. Been in a few times for a couple different pieces and all I can say is that Funhouse International is by far the best tattoo shop I've ever been to. Every artist is friendly and helpful with what their client wants to get done. Been going to Jason for my last couple tattoos, and he's put immense care into the entire process from start to finish, and does a great job of putting my ideas into artwork. Not to mention the pieces I've gotten in the past have healed really well. Always a great experience walking into the shop and leaving happily with a great piece of artwork on me. read more

I was nervous about getting any more tattoos, given the stigmas of tattoos and worrying about the pain-- it had been over 10 years since I had any tattooing done! In my former profession, tattoos were frowned upon. Where I work now, tattoos are embraced. Given the timeframe it had been since I had a tattoo, I knew that my tattoos were badly in need of revamp. I called funhouse and talked to Julian. Within minutes, and Julian was in contact and asked what I would like done and to see what I currently had (since I wanted to look at my butterfly that I had done about 18 years ago). He gave me an estimate and had an idea within the next night. I absolutely loved it! I have been so happy with Funhouse Tattoo and especially with Julian's work that I have since gotten two new tattoos, an add-on, a redo, and a cover-up. The work is amazing! And the vibe is awesome! Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Funhouse Tattoo for roughly 5yrs now. Every artist in the shop is very personable and approachable. This shop also doesn't do crappy flash work off the wall. It will always be originally designed artwork for you. My artist of choice has always been Daniel Thompson. Daniel does crazy single needle detail work. My tats tend to be my passport in life representing my many travels both domestic and abroad. Daniel is very accommodating and his skill is unequaled in my opinion. The guy simply doesn't take enough credit for himself. I'll stop here in my review because I believe the photos speak for themselves. read more

Madison did my daughter's first tattoo and also her second! All in the same day. My girl got a bumblebee on each of her knees. "The Bees Knees" Turned out exactly like she was hoping. Madison was great. Patient with us as we figured out placement and made sure she was happy before she started. Great experience all the way around. Strongly recommend and this is coming from a mom who doesn't have any tatts and didn't want her kid to get any! This was much more pleasant than I ever expected read more

My friend and I were looking for last minute tattoos and after searching on Yelp I stumbled across Funhouse Tattoo. After sending a request for the appointment I was told someone would reach out to me and the next morning Madison messaged me. She was able to squeeze us in within a 24 hr notice and was extremely accommodating throughout the whole experience. She was was kind, inviting, non judgmental, and helpful with placements, colors, sizing, etc. All things you want your artist to be! I would definitely go back to her again. She took my friend's initial idea from Pinterest and helped her make it her own. Here are some pictures. HIGHLY RECOMMEND funhouse tattoo and Madison specifically!! read more

I had one of the easiest and most positive experiences with Jason. I walked in right before closing and he fit me in for the next day. What I wanted was simple linework from a video game I like, which is admittedly pretty goofy. He tackled it with enthusiasm and everyone in the shop was very welcoming. I'm planning on adding more and I'm definitely coming back to Jason. The lines are super straight and clean and overall it came out sharp and exactly like what I was picturing. read more

Daniel Thompson is an amazing artist here. I sat roughly 90-100 hours with Daniel working on my full sleeve and thigh. He did a better job than I could have ever imagined and I couldn't be happier with every piece of work we did together. Daniel was able to take my ideas and truly run with it and make it a work of art. I focused heavily on Greek statues and a hyper realism style, with the use of the darkest inks to the whitest whites.. I get compliments everywhere I go and gladly hand out his contact info and Instagram and encourage people all over the country to fly out and have the pleasure to work with this man. Thank you Daniel, I hope you get to read this and truly understand how much I love the Art you created. read more

Redemption Ink - My pooch... - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

I came here one night back in early July while I was on vacation in SD. I spoke with Kelly who was running the front desk. I knew I wanted a lotus flower in Mehndi style. Actually, I thought I wanted mandala style but after showing Kelly what I was going for she and J Trip let me know that what I was wanting is called Mehndi. Kelly helped me search through a ton of online examples until I found a few to show an artist. She set me up with J Trip since he had availability the next day. I was on a time crunch because I was leaving back to AZ in two days and these guys get pretty booked out. J also talked me into a more expensive piece due to the amount of detail I wanted. So I gave my deposit and scheduled to see him the next day. Holy hell... You know when you put down a non-refundable deposit and then it hits you that there's no going back? Yeah that feeling sunk in pretty effing fast after I left. I showed up the next day for my appointment and was really nervous. lol This was only my 3rd tattoo (and my largest) so, of course, I was anxious. However, J and Kelly made me really comfortable and helped calm my nerves before we got started. I think I sat pretty well. J was singing and seemed to be enjoying himself. I figure if he's having fun then the tattoo will be awesome because he's in his zone. I wasn't let down!! I love my tattoo, its beautiful. I followed all of J's healing instructions and it came out great. I didn't peel much, just a little and I really didn't have much pain. Like everyone says, the first couple days it burns a little, like a sunburn. For a week after that I felt tenderness or tingling every now and then. After it healed there weren't any blank spots and my skin feels smooth. Once I figure out what to add, I'll go back and have J Trip continue what he started. read more

My cousin and I randomly decided to get tattoos when we got down to San Diego for our vacation. I got Madison as my artist who did a great job with my little Panda tattoo! She finished quickly and had enough time to add on another tattoo to the empty spots of my sleeve. Her lines are nice clean, I was really impressed! To top that off, her and Brent fed us chocolates for days LOL. 10/10 would recommend this shop and their artists. read more

I have a lot of tattoos. I've been to my fare share of tattoo shops but this one is one of the best in San Diego. I've gotten tattooed twice now by Janel Parra and let me tell you.. she's fucking amazing! The first one she did was a fun rainbow paint splatter on the back of my arm. She took her time and made it look exactly how I wanted. I've been thinking about starting a leg sleeve, so while I was there I showed Janel some of my ideas- basically a lot of mandala type designs with some other geometric work with it. She was stoked on the ideas and started working on some sketches for me. We finished our first two sessions and I am beyond thrilled with how it looks. The design and placement is perfect. I can't wait to see where this leg piece evolves over the next year. If you are looking for an amazing young artist you have to go see Janel! read more

This is a great place to get a tattoo! Loved the vibe. :) I recommend Madison especially

I heard about Funhouse: Guest House from a coworker of mine who suggested this place for my first ever tattoo. She showed me some work she had gotten done by an artist named Daniel T at the shop that left me impressed. I showed up on a random Saturday and talked to Daniel. He gave me a consult, listened to what I was looking for, and set and an appointment for me the next weekend. He sketched out my vision, which for me was hard to articulate as I'm definitely not an artist, and it came out nearly perfect. I am grateful that Daniel was very open to my suggestions/edits, minor as they were. During the tattoo process Daniel was calm and cool, which helped me with my nerves. Since this tattoo was my first I was a bundle of anxiety but Daniel kept me at ease; at one point even he grabbed me a Coca-Cola because I was feeling faint. He and the rest of the artists at the shop were fun and engaging. The work he did was amazing and I will forever be grateful. read more

This tattoo shop is different than a lot of shops I've walked into over the last thirteen years. I walked in hoping to get a chest peice, and I walked out last night happily satisfied with my experience. First off the shop itself--it's very open, with a laid back vibe and a tiki style theme. You can see all the different artists portfolios on a computer to find the exact style of tattoo you want, from black and grey to traditional to Polynesian, and more. The guys in the shop are very friendly and they will definitely make you laugh. I remember one joke had me in tears from laughing so hard. Now, they are exceptionally professional too. Getting a chest piece as a girl can be a little intimidating, since you are pulling your shirt down and letting someone blast ink right above your boobs. The whole time I was in Jeremiah's chair I did not feel uncomfortable at all, and anytime another one of the guys came by to check it out, I knew they weren't trying to look down my shirt, but simply giving props to my artist and telling me how sick it looked. One of the guys even gave me a stress ball to squeeze when some of the piece got painful, and it helped a lot. I couldn't wait to see it in the mirror by the time it was done. Jeremiah was my tattoo artist. I went in hoping for a trash polka chest piece tattoo, and he was extremely patient and looked at what I had in mind (a Pinterest picture), and customizing it exactly the way I wanted. I used to travel to South Dakota from San Diego to get tattooed by him, so when I found out he moved to my neighborhood, I immediately made an appointment. He did my entire chest in just less than 5 hours, and he was very quick over the painful spots, and still made sure all the details I wanted were in there. I will definitely be back in soon to have my left sleeve fixed and finished. Good vibes, chill people, great artists. Thank you Jeremiah, and thank you Funhouse! read more
