Made an appointment with Jordae. I cannot recommend him enough. This was my first tattoo and he was very patient and welcoming. I will be returning for more especially with an artist like Jordae. The establishment itself is really lovely with a nice waiting area. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the environment is clean. Very happy with my tattoo experience. Loved the artist's work for the outlines and great color application. After care tips were also provided along with follow up if need be. Can't wait to get my next tattoo done with Jordae. read more

Jordan, aka Jordae is my tattoo artist since 2019!! He's an amazing artist, on my humble opinion; I travelled around the world, got tattoos done but some great artists but, Jordae is the absolute best. What does make Jordae so special? the passion the unconditional love towards is legendary ink on skin work, the calmness, and the total deep understanding what drawing really is. Thank you, J to make every ,and each tattoo of mine, a spectacular long life, and after experience. read more

Full Circle Tattoo - Amazing Experience with Aria! I'm currently getting a tattoo from Aria, an apprentice here, and she is so good! She has a great light touch, incredible attention to detail, and is also just genuinely sweet and easy to talk to. The shop itself is welcoming, spotless, and well lit, with big windows in the tattoo area that somehow give both natural light and privacy--such a great setup. Her mentor, Bill, is super cool and supportive, which really adds to the relaxed and positive vibe. The sound system is on point, making the whole experience even better. Parking in the area seemed like it might be tricky, but surprise--it's actually easy to find! If you want a friendly, professional, and comfortable tattoo experience (whether with Aria or anyone else here), Full Circle Tattoo is absolutely worth visiting. read more

Man I can't even begin to explain how easy and how cool it was to get a anime piece done here with James. From listening to my idea and designing it, to altering the little design changes I wanted to the final piece was done. By far exceeded my expectations to how clean it came out. This is the artist you want for anime tattoos and I will be returning for more. read more

I had the lovely experience of working with Itzel yesterday.

As a queer woman I felt very comfortable with her and how inclusive she is! read more

Such a great tattoo shop in a lively neighborhood. Parking was easy on a Saturday. The shop itself is spacious, clean, and modern. All of the employees were pleasant and easy to talk to - such good vibes. I'd like to thank Yusuke for such an awesome piece on my cat Toby. He was responsive, considerate, and detail-oriented. He took his time with the drawing, placement, and sizing. I couldn't be happier with my piece, especially since he captured the likeness perfectly. Thank you, Yusuke! See you soon. A+ Highly Recommended read more

Drove from LA just to visit this shop and get tattooed by Thomas. The shop was so cute and clean, everyone there was really nice and welcoming. Thomas talked to me in detail about my design and the different ink colors that would work well for my more tan skin tone and even checked my other tattoos with similar colors to see how they would hold up. After the tat was done he gave me really thorough instructions for aftercare and what to expect and answered every question I had. I'm so happy with the outcome, my arm looks awesome, I still get giddy looking at it. The hourly rate was also extremely reasonable for the caliber of skill the artists have !! I'm already thinking about going back for another tattoo. I can't recommend this shop enough :) read more

Such a beautiful and clean tattoo shop! I used to go to Lion's Den in Spring Valley before coming here due to my artist moving. I spent A LOT of time doing research on my next artist & I thought Sarah was the perfect choice for me! She's so kind and extremely talented!! Also got booked in pretty quick too, how lucky! Got these 3 done a few months ago, they healed beautifully & I love them a lot! Definitely will be coming back here soon & recommending her to everyone I know! read more

I've been going to full circle since 2017 (South Park) and then switched to the new location when it opened(Adams Ave). The artists have always been super friendly, responsive, and professional. I have been working with Jordae for the past 2 years and have been extremely pleased. His line work is always super clean and the tattoos always come out perfect! I frequently get compliments on his work from strangers. I always recommend full circle to any of my friends or people who are new to the area! read more

I got a star tattoo on my wrist (same day appointment) and it was a pretty cool experience! The shop is super cute, clean and tattoo artists are nice! They have a $100 minimum (expected and fair price imo) my only complaint is that my tattoo (i got it around 5 weeks ago) is super faded and looks like tattoos that I've had for 5+ years. Also my friend got tattoos by a different artist in the shop who was super nice and he gave her options on what color ink to get, my artist did not give me an option and just went straight into tattooing which i thought was a little strange/rude and brushed off my questions about the different ink colors/shades of black. But other than that my tattoo artist was pretty nice! read more

The shop in general is very clean, accommodating, but still comes off as a very chill environment. Everyone I had interactions with was very friendly as well! I had the great pleasure of having multiple sessions with James for a half sleeve of some of my favorite anime characters. Nothing but positive things to say about the overall process with James! He's very professional, friendly, and helpful. After communicating what I was thinking of the general idea for my tattoos, not only was he able to provide more than what I had already anticipated but also adjust my reference images as needed in order to make the overall piece seamless and awesome! Despite how great his art is, his sessions were actually very fast and the overall process actually took a lot less time than I had initially thought it would. Will definitely be reaching out if I come up with another concept for a piece and definitely recommend checking out the shop in general! read more

I had an appointment with Bill for a freehand dragon and I love the way it turned out! The process from start to finish was really easy and I appreciate the reminder texts and emails about your appointment. I would definitely visit this location again for another tattoo! read more

I'm very picky about my design but Thomas Pineiro just nailed it right on and made my first tattoo experience a great one! He was very responsive and really listened to the millions of pictures that I sent him and put it all in one lol. Thomas is very knowledgeable in his craft. Also, Shop is very clean and the vibe in there is comfortable and neat. The Front desk ladies always do a good job on keeping shop spotless, welcoming you in, and makes sure you're comfortable by asking how you're during your session. read more
