Frank is seriously the best, not only in his tattooing but also in his costumer service. He takes the time to ensure you're getting exactly want you want when you come in. My husband and I both get our tattoo work done by him and will continue to come back! Can't say enough good things about vipers ink tattoo & Frank Gomez! read more

Best artist around SD highly recommend this place ...thank you Frank!prices are very fair..

I really wish I could give more than 5 stars for my awesome tattoo experience with Francisco. He is very easy to work with and super smart with helping you choose the best details and placement of the tattoo. I also loved his passion, excitement and attention to detail with hearing my ideas and making my tattoo dream a reality. I wanted this particular portrait of my kids altered into a nursing/healthcare theme and he knocked it out of the park!! It is even more perfect than I imagined. So many tattoo artists I interviewed with prior almost acted annoyed with my ideas or like it was a bother to even attempt my tattoo, until I met Francisco. His shop is really clean and his technique is also very professional and sterile which was important to me as an RN. He also tries very hard to make your tattoo experience as comfortable as possible. And, on top of that, he is a total blast to chat with. But, best of all was my amazing tattoo! I get compliments from everyone and they are blown away with the amazing detail and clarity. My one friend just had to touch it and say "It just looks so freaking real. Like a photo!" If you are looking for a tattoo artist with tons of talent, experience, diversity of style, professionalism, cleanliness and passion, Francisco is your guy. My friends and I will definitely only book Francisco for future tattoos from now on. Thank you, Francisco for making my tattoo dream a reality! You're the best!! : ) read more

Love my new tattoo. I made an appointment with Frankie about a week ago and went in to get my tattoo yesterday. The shop was super clean and he was super understanding with what I wanted. I had brought in a picture and told him I wanted to make some adjustments and he did it right then and there. The size, detail, and even the process of getting the tattoo done was perfect. I was afraid of pain because I had a bad experience once before, but he had such a light hand and made it an easy process. Took about an hour and a half total to make the stencil, corrections, and do the tattoo. Very reasonable with pricing as well. If you are trying to decide where to get your tattoo from in San Diego, Frankie is the best in town! read more

All I can say is Frank is an Amazingly skilled and a passionate tattoo artist. I had seen Frank's work and knew he had to be the one to bring to life a tattoo that I had previously had done, it looks amazing, but when I watched his skilled hands him do a wolf tattoo on my friends neck and saw it come to life before my eyes, I was in awe! Would highly recommend Viper tattoo! read more

My daughter and I decided to get matching tattoos while celebrating her 30th birthday in SD. It was my first. I was very impressed with Frank's professionalism and skill. The shop was clean and he was very patient, making sure both of us were completely satisfied with placement. His touch was nice and light, and his lines were very smooth and clean. I'd definitely recommend him. read more

I just got work done with Frank last Saturday and I'm really happy that I had a friend recommend his shop to me. After seeing the work that he did on her husband and just getting a poorly tattoo done a month before, he did not disappoint!! (Honestly, I really wish I went to him in the first place). Frank and I communicated a week before the appointment and I showed him what I wanted. He then showed me some sketches and my original picture that I sent him just got thrown in the trash (I was like, yeah his design is waaay better.) I came in on Saturday and I was early for my appointment, he greeted me and let me know that he's going to take a few minutes to set up (I usually like being early). I sat for a few minutes and he brought me back to see the sketch. I was already in love and I haven't even got tattoo yet! He was on point with my whole thought process on the piece I wanted to get and that's when you know he's a good artist, because he knows your vision but knows it better lol. He placed the flowers on my arm and freehand the tribals I wanted around, he did give me the option with would you like it like this or like that and I was like, "Whatever you think looks good." Honestly, this man is an amazing artist that I trusted on him on the tattoo that I was getting permanently on my body! He put the stencil on and it already looked good, the whole tattoo process wasn't even all that bad! I didn't feel a thing and he made sure that I was always comfortable. We finished with the outline and he put a cream on me before the shading, I was okay with or without it but him saying, "You went through a lot with the outline, it's just something to put so your arm won't feel that bad" shows that he wants to make his clients as comfortable as possible. The tattoo probably took a good 3 hours, but it didn't even feel that long because he engaged in conversation and we were laughing throughout the whole thing. I wish I knew about Frank a lot sooner and I'm seriously happy and in love with my new piece. After getting my tattoo, now my boyfriend wants to get one and go to Frank. Frank gained a new loyal client and I gained a new tattoo artist, I'll definitely be coming back to get more pieces done! Thank you so much Frank for my tattoo! You'll be seeing me more often! read more
