This place is quite a vibe. Love for the fact that they're open late and most of the time they take walk-ins. I love how they support our troops and love the USMC patches up their walls. I got assigned to Dalton. Dalton made this painful session a breeze (it was a foot and ankle piece lol) and put his little twist into the design I gave him which I'm glad I went with because I ended up loving it A WHOLE LOT MORE He used a coil machine but somehow made this painful session a breeze and worked pretty fast and my foot and ankle piece a beautiful one. Thanks Dalton, you're the best read more

Man I'm so glad I called in and the sweet little lady at the front desk dealt with my insanity. I was able to come in and see the artist who did my first tattoo. I have seen several artist from Sherman Oaks down to SD. I've gotten some good work and I have some appertiancr tattoos I will get reworked or covered up. I have got to say the atmosphere is top tier aiiiint no roaches and not a single unpleasant person in the entire place. Years ago I had an artist almost put my foot in his mouth locally because he was a depraved freak and you know what I can say with certainty not one of these guys would be caught dead doing some predatory shit while getting tattooed. Allllso Anton isn't the most heavy handed so while tattoos hurt you aren't fighting for your life the entire time. read more

Frontline Tattoo Oceanside - Lettering by Anton/ Virgin Mary done elsewhere - Tattoo Near Me - Oceanside, California

I wanted to be a little spontaneous and get a "spur of the moment" tattoo while visiting friends in Oceanside, CA over the Labor Day holiday weekend. Being pressed for time, I wanted to make sure I found the best tattoo shop I could find on short notice, and one that had good reviews. I found Frontline Tattoo and felt comfortable. I walked in, told them I wanted a tattoo that day, something simple but also cute that could be done quickly. They accommodated me and squeezed me in with an artist a few hours later. This was the quickest tattoo ever, which took less than 5 minutes to get. The preparation time took longer than the actual tattoo. This shop was great, welcoming, and nice. The artists are social, kind, respectful, and helpful. The ambiance was nice too. I would go back for another tattoo again, and I just might in the future being that I have a big tattoo that I would like to get. You never know. Thank you Frontline Tattoo, including my short-term tattoo artist. read more

Robert is very talented and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of the final product! Cover up tattoos are not always ideal, but he made this experience worth while and was very patient with giving ideal options of what would provide the best outcome. read more

About last night...Mady and went together to get tattooed! Thank you Carlos Murillo at Frontline Tattoo for your creativity, talent, and an authentic personality. Look how beautiful! I chose a Lotus flower for "beauty that holds itself above the mud". And a poppy which represents peace for my Daddy. Mady also got 2 new tattoos from Carlos! That man is a saint for putting up with us all day! Lol There's a flower on her wrist. And 3 butterflies on her ankle. Carlos really listened to what we wanted. And created beautiful pieces for both of us. Couldn't be happier! read more

Bud is the best! My fiancé and I went into the shop very spur of the moment to get tattooed as a birthday surprise. We knew what we wanted and Bud overdelivered. The tattoos were even better than we could have hoped for. He was also extremely friendly and engaging and immediately made us comfortable. Neither of us have ever felt more taken care of at a shop. Definitely the best experience I've ever had in the chair and I can't say enough good about him. Not only does he do stellar work, but he is a great dude! We will absolutely be back to see him. Thank you, Bud!! read more

My mom, sister, and I got tattoos here. Great service! Friendly people and excellent work. Very clean atmosphere

I did some research and I thought it about I do something about some work I had done years ago. After carefully reading reviews and scoping out parlors, I finally decided to come to Frontline Tattoo. The shop is located in oceanside and in a small shipping center near the 5. The staff here are friendly and knowledgable and my 1st consultation was a breeze. In order to get an idea of what I wanted as a design, they showed me some tattoo concepts in collection folders. Although they had many folders, this didn't really help much because I wanted something that was original and not generic. But this has always been my opinion about using this brainstorming method anyhow. I was then offered the ability to use their computer in the lounge to research some design concepts and ideas for what I wanted done. Nice! After talking to my artist, I made my appointment for that same week, came in and got it done. Yngve Opaker has some angelic hands and completed my tattoo to satisfaction, with minimal scarring. He was reasonable with his price and even shaved some off for me (to which I gave back as his tip). I'd also like to mention that this tattoo healed faster than any of my other ones. Amazing! I recommend Frontline as one of the reliable tattoo parlors in the area. I'm a happy camper :) read more

Frontline Tattoo Oceanside - Cover-up. Learn from your past, but don't Live in it. - Tattoo Near Me - Oceanside, California

I have been in a few Tattoo shops in Oceanside and had had good service and good quality body art done. That said, Frontline Tattoo blows the others away. Rob Guzman was fantastic from the start. I showed him what I wanted and he dispensed great advice and produced a great design that I am very happy with. I highly recommend him as your artist. The shop is clean and inviting. Staff is friendly and helpful. Hit me up with any questions you may have. Oh! Also, prices are reasonable. read more

Although swamped with Marine booters trying to get motivated tattoos, is a great parlor. The service was warm and friendly, the shop immaculately clean, and the staff very knowledgeable. Yngve was very steady handed, honest about everything and priced the tattoo(s) at a more than fair rate. One of the best experiences I've had getting tattoos. I couldn't recommend him more. Will be returning again. read more

I've gone to multiple different tattoo shops all over California. I've met with different artist and had different experiences. It's hard to find a tattoo shop and call it your home for tattoos. However, moving down to Oceanside I found my home for tattoos. This is the best tattoo shop, everyone is super friendly and down to earth. The artist that does my tattoos is Bud, he is the most respectful, kind tattoo artist that I have ever worked with. He took a crazy idea of mine and turned it in to something beautiful. To cover up my scars. This is a very meaningful tattoo that is part of my healing process. You can only imagine how hard it was for me to pick out an artist to make this idea blossom. Since he is such an incredible artist he took this idea and made my self harm marks disappear and turn in to beautiful artwork. He is an amazing artist and takes time into adding the little details. I personally never used saniderm and he explained everything to me. Bud is such an incredible artist and person in general. I wouldn't listen to other peoples reviews about this shop or any artist on here that's negative. I guess some people weren't raised to be treated with respect. Calling someone sweetheart is a sign of respect. Taking it out of context and being disrespectful is just not cool. read more

I went in today for a consultation for a cover up. I waited for 20 mins for the man to come out, Bud, to be so rude and insensitive to the situation. Don't recommend this place. This man was rude, incredibly dismissive and disrespectful. Not cool read more

i had an absolutely amazing experience, called first thing in the morning to see if there was any available walk ins was able to get an appointment for later in the day ( my advice if you are looking for same day walk in is call early). The receptionist was super nice and welcoming, the place was clean and had a lot of great work displayed. . I met Anton showed him a photo of what I was looking to get, he made a few suggestions which exceeded my expectations and turned my dream into a reality. He is very professional, my tattoo came out better than I imagined it would! I would highly recommend frontline. Thank-you Anton for making my memorial tattoo experience so special. To sum it up great customer service, ,fun/welcoming environment with reasonable prices. read more
