Lavish Tattoo was an awesome experience. A couple of friends and I wanted to get walk-in compass tattoos while we were on vacation down here. Ryan took care of us and was kind and patient from start to finish. The tattoos are great quality and very fast. The line work is very clean, and I love the color on mine. If I'm ever back in town (which I hope to be again soon) I will definitely be returning to Ryan! I will definitely post a better picture of mine after it heals up. I bleed a lot so the color is a little obscured right now. read more

June is amazing! This place is so clean and has such a great vibe! He listened to what I wanted and drew it for me. He is an artist and gentle soul. I was very nervous and for some reason I instantly felt I could trust him to permantly place exact what I was imagining. Thanks for being so awesome. I will definitely recommend my friends to you and I will be back! read more

Out of my 7 tattoos, I've been tattooed by Danny 5 times and all I can say is he's absolutely awesome. He made sure I was comfortable, cracked jokes, and initiated conversation when tattooing in sensitive areas to distract from the pain. Dan is so professional but is very personable! Planning on going back soon for another appointment!! Absolutely love the atmosphere of this shop and all of the artists! read more

One of my go to spots fasho. This spot is a smaller building but they have the OGs there. If you need a tattoo artist Swift will get you right! (he's done like 9 or so tattoos of mine) If you need a piercing Romo is super professional and accommodating (pierced my nipples). I'd suggest go in ready to know what you want and when you're ready to get tatted. Put your deposit and get it done. They're not about the run around. read more

Amazing. Super friendly, clean, great art and artists. Felt super comfortable here. I cannot wait to go back for another one.

Went here for a small cover up and a small wrist tattoo. My sister and her husband go here all the time and I love the work, so I booked my appointment. Ames was the artist, super great guy! He is super chill, very patient, no hiccups and gave us exactly what we wanted! Probably my favorite tattoo I have!! read more

Super helpful in getting the layout and Tattoo correct so that you will be happy to show it off for a long time to come. Keep up the great work Dezz, Ames, Ryan and the others as well. I have yet to hear anything negative about this place when I talk to others about their tattoos. Give them a call, you will be glad you did. read more

I had been referred to lavish by two folks so I went in wanting to get some initials covered up. I didn't really have any ideas because of the placing of the original tattoo but dustin hooked it up. He knew what would look good, was fast, and pricing was real fair. He's real talented. I'll be back to lavish for sure. They're not ur typical *#*@ head tattoo artists and the music they played was so perfect. With how much pain clients are going through its nice to have a relaxed and vibin' atmosphere. Thanks Dustin!:) read more

Can't wait to come back soon to start my next piece :) I started going to Lavish for one artist who did my last 3 tattoos, but stayed for their trusted reputation after he moved to Vegas. Today I came in hoping to find a new artist to work with and was instantly greeted by Ryan. I'm overjoyed with the work he did, how chill he was, and his attention to detail in such short time. Thank you for the amazing tattoo and great experience. I'll definitely be back for future work. read more

Came for the Friday the 13th deals, definitely worth the wait. Everyone was super sweet and welcoming, definitely coming back for more tattoos in the future!! read more

Great shop! Extremely friendly, clean, and professional. Everyone In the shop was very nice to my girlfriend and I. I just got a rose and dagger done by Cobra, and I couldn't be happier. She is very professional and has a lot of good insight and really made my tattoo pop the way I wanted it to. read more

Got my rook pierced here and loved how it turned out. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide twice if not more every day but it got badly infected a week later. I'm talking the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life! My ear was the size of a tomato and red as a strawberry. I called the shop several times and no one was answering and when they did they said a piercer wasn't in and wouldn't be in for a while. Finally I had my friend rip the piercing out which was not easy or a quick process whatsoever. Hopefully better luck next time I guess:( read more

Lavish Tattoo - Shortly after the piercing (day 1) - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

On Saturday, after weeks of frustrating personal issues, I was at the end of my rope. As the air traffic controller in the original Airplane movie exclaimed, "I picked the wrong day to stop drinking." So because I am extremely mature, I grew a wild hair and decided to get another tattoo, well two actually. My daughter knows one of the artists at this studio, Dez. I brought in a picture of a Koala which is my favorite animal, despite my brother having lived in Austraila trying to convince me they smell like crap and are mean. I already have a tribal symbol, indicating power, on my shoulder, so I wanted my astrological sign (Gemini) in the middle indicating Gemini Power. Dez took both of my examples and found the exact size and coloring I had wanted. I remember thinking that, five years ago when i got my first tattoo, the process felt like small razors cutting me. However, much like childbirth, the memory of the actual feeling fades over time. I must have a lower tolerance for pain than I had thought. I was cringing and tearing up, while another guy across from me was falling asleep having a large tattoo finished on the back of his leg. Both tattoos took less than an hour. Dez was very professional and nice. I am extremely happy with the work. I have plans for at least one more tattoo that will likely be done following another mature moment. I will go back to Dez if he is willing to endure my contorted facial expressions and attempts at controlling my breathing. www.myspace.com search for Lavish Tattoo Company read more

I got my first tattoo here and Nyck Fuller did a AMAZING JOB! I LOVE IT! Super Great rates! Thank you Nyck Fuller and Lavish Tattoo! I'll tell all my great friends about you guys :) read more

This place does great work and makes you feel comfortable. The artists there are very professional and curious

So my friends and I wanted to get tattoos spur of the moment, which usually isn't a good sign but we found Lavish. They're open til a reasonably late hour which was great. The artists there are amazing at what they do with great starting prices. I've gotten at least two done from Dusten, who's creative input has made me love my tattoos even more. And not only do they do tattoos but they also do piercings! I got both my eyebrow and nose pierced by Romo. He's amazing. Love my piercings. Really clean shop. And has a great atmosphere. read more

Place sucks. Once I walked in nobody was trying to help me. They always have people hanging out in the front of the shop and around the entrance, like that's suppose to be a good impression. And the piercer was way to rough on my piercing and on top of that he didnt give me any care med for my piercing, and it also came out cricked. read more

Alex@lavish was AWESOME!!! My fiance was not comfortable with the new artist he found prior to her and he asked for a walk in and Alex hooked him up. I do not have any tattoos and not sure if I would ever get one. Alex made me feel like I wanted to change my mind with her friendly, welcoming demeanor. David, my fiance will be a return customer. Great Job ALEX!!!!! read more

Got a tat a while ago by Dezz.. Got high and drank beer during tat... Very unprofessional. Messed up both tats had to come in for a cover up... Free touch ups for life is a SCAM.. Don't beleive it... Tried to charge for my first touch up that he insisted would be free anyway because of his mess up! Not going back... And an annoying trip to court to come.... Geez read more

Best local tattoo shop in town I've been coming here since 2009 the day that it opened very clean and chill environment ! I highly recommend this tattoo shop to anyone who is interested in quality work . My artist Ames is the owner and he is great at what he does .. I have my whole body basically covered in tattoos done by him . He's the best in town hands down! :) read more

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. These "artists" are completely unprofessional, rude, and their work is mediocre at best. The shop is dirty and made me feel completely unsafe getting a tattoo. They're cheap, but you get what you pay for. read more
