Noemi was the one who helped me from start to finish. The rest of the crew were fun to converse with and great to get along with. Wanted to get a tattoo of my dogs paw print since he passed away a week before Thanksgiving. Couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! Noemi made it a very easy process. The whole shop was very nice and clean as well.
So I woke one morning amidst my current midlife crisis and getting old as f-- thoughts and said, "Today is a good day to go get a tattoo." Noemi did a great job thank you! It's my son's Chinese name that = warrior. First tat I got 20 years ago. Who knows maybe I'll get one more before I'm dead.
So I have had a few tattoos done at Lyfestyle ever since it opened up it's been my go to for my ink but yesterday was the first time I got ink done by a woman and let me tell you there is a difference not to take away from any male tattoo artist but Luciana was gentle and very detailed not only with her work but with making sure I was comfortable we are working on a project for a cover up of a big scar and she did disappoint me not to mention as I was laying for a few hours the owner Daniel did a few tattoos he's always been very comforting to his clients and very helpful with questions the shop is clean and full of art work the other artists there seem very talented as well it's going be a while before my work is done but when it is I'll post a picture
I recently got a Virgen Maria portrait on my back by Jenaly it came out perfect. She was the sweetest person ever and everyone in the shop was as well the vibes was just amazing. The service everything was amazing. I will definitely be coming back to get more tattoos from her and everyone in the shop. Definitely recommend going to this shop if you have been looking for a tattoo artist there is a lot of talented people in that shop!!
Been going to Lyfestyle for years! been rocking with Daniel and even got tatted from a couple of his apprentices who are also immaculate artists! Never disappointed! Always happy with the outcome! If you are planning on going here for the first time here's a tip... Be open. Give the artist room to be artistic and apply their own style to what you want. You won't regret it.
I've been getting tattooed by Ching for years and I love her! She is an amazing person and tattoo artist! I love her work and always get complements, especially my darth vader tattoo. I will continue going here and excited to finish my sleeve and start a leg sleeve! Everyone at lifestyle ink is amazing! I highly recommend coming here!
I've been going to this shop for the past 7 months and everytime i go everyone greets me. I've been going to Jen for all my tattoo's since going to lyfestyle ink and she's literally done an amazing job every time. she's super nice and always wants to make sure you have the best experience and does a perfect job to get exactly what i want. she's done half my tattoo's (4/8). Literally my go to tattoo artist now a days
I got a tattoo from Jen, and she did an amazing job! The design is what I wanted, and it's my favorite tattoo at the moment and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it already. It's a pretty big piece on my ribcage and even though I needed a second session because I tapped out halfway through, she was very understanding. Throughout the process she would ask if I was okay and communicate what she was doing. It's healing well, the after care instructions were very clear and the instruction card had English and Spanish. All of the artists are friendly and the whole shop has a very comfortable atmosphere. I would go again!
Went to get a coverup on my arm and had a great experience! I got my coverup done by Jen and she did an amazing job. Her work while tattooing was smooth and very clean. As you can see from the pic, the results don't lie The other artists in the shop were also very nice and welcoming. I like how other artists approached me to make conversation even though I wasn't getting a tattoo from them. The owner was also super helpful and offers guidance to his artists whenever requested. I would definitely come again to get more tattoos by Jen :)

Just wanna thank Marissa and the Lyfestyle Ink team for being so chill and accommodating! My best friend and I wanted to get matching-not-so-matching tattoos and she made it happen for us! We had the greatest time hanging out and thought the shop was hella cool with the art and decorations. We will definitely be coming back again! read more

I have gotten my first tattoo here with Audrey, very professional and polite, did an amazing job on my first two especially my sons name it came out beyond what I had expected. Daniel did my left arm one of the main tattoos I've been wanting. When I say you can not get any better in the service and the skill he has on creating a master piece I mean it. I've been to a lot of shops and they don't give you the good vibes that lyfestyle ink has once you walk in. Definitely getting the rest of my sleeve with Daniel. Highly recommend looking at their IG's for more proof of their dope work! read more

On the hunt for an artist to cover up a rather hideous back tat. I searched for 5 years, many consults later, just didn't click w/anyone & trying to find someone who will entertain ideas? OMG! What a pain! Not to mention, many wont do large cover-ups. I followed LSI for a year, particularly interested in Ching's esthetics! Got up the nerve one day & went in! I was so nervous! the shop immediately felt comfortable, clean & inviting. Right away was greeted by the owner Daniel, ( really nice guy btw) which was nice, first impressions are everything, then a stunning tatted girl greets me, I told her my story & who I would like to see... it was her!!! Ching! We hit it off immediately! She listened to my wants, she gave her ideas. I gave her pic's of my ideas. She drew something up in-front of me... I was floored! 5 sessions later, I am so proud & in love w/our creation! Ching is an incredible artist & all around amazing person!! We are now on our 2nd large piece & thinking of my 3rd. Its addicting, especially when you have a special artist to do the work! read more

Clean, Quality Work.. 100% SATISFIED! For several months I've been contemplating on what tattoo to get and where to go. After seeing Ching's work on a friend and family member, I knew instantly I needed to pay her a visit. In June, when I arrived to Lyfestyle Ink I was instantly greeted my Ching. She was friendly, accommodating, provides suggestions and HONEST!. I gave her my vision and she worked her magic. I've never been so happy with my tattoo's till I met Ching. Her skills are exceptional! She's light handed and works in an amazingly timely manner. 4 weeks later, I paid Ching another visit hoping to get a small yet meaningful piece as a tribute to my Aunt who recently passed. Ching was so kind and understanding, she managed to squeeze me into her schedule. I couldn't be more appreciative of her accommodations and talents! Can't wait to get more sessions in! Everyone at the shop is friendly and more importantly CLEAN! I'm a stickler for hygiene, I have no complaints what so ever. Also, the shop is surrounded with beautiful artwork.. Definitely worth stopping by and getting quality work done!! read more

From start to finish, my experience with this tattoo shop was great. I did my research beforehand and decided Mitsuko Ching would be the right artist for what I wanted done. They only make appointments in person, so I stopped by after work to make one. I expected to have to make an appointment months out because Mitsuko is so popular, but she was able to find a small gap in her schedule and fit me in that same week! She is so kind and talkative in the best way. She really made me feel comfortable. I'm absolutely in love with my tattoo and will definitely be going back to get more work done by her! Plus, the shop was so clean and everyone else working there was super friendly, too! read more

I paid 100$ for a tattoo that looked like a child did it. No call back, no money back. unprofessional. The c isn't even connected it looks like bug antennae instead of cursive swirl, zoom in doesn't look like the picture. Now I'll be getting it laser removed for the awful job she did. Getting it removed instead of covering it up so close to my breast thanks lifestyle ink; the most professional out there. read more

What a great place. You walk in and you feel welcome. I went in for my first tattoo (at 62) to pay tribute to my father who died last year on Veterans Day. I checked out websites to see work and had some ideas of what I wanted. Loved the reviews on this parlor and Mitsuko Ching. I went in a few weeks ago to speak with Ms. Ching. She is a very "Kind Human" and she understood the importance of my first tattoo. She knew that I wanted to get it done today 11-11. Mitsuko was able to bring my design to life on my arm. She wanted me to be happy and went out of her way today to do just that. Daniel the owner is amazing and funny. You can tell that everyone that works in this tattoo parlor sees this more than a job....its their passion and its art. I appreciate so much how wonderful they were to me, my husband and my son. Thank you Ching for your patience with me....I do believe in the end, only kindness matters. read more

Spent weeks researching artists in Bay Area to design a tattoo. And after a few weeks, I'm so glad I found a post on Instagram tagged at this tattoo shop's location. My artist's name is Daniel (@tatt2overdose on IG) and he did such an amazing job. The tattoo exceeded my expectations. Aside from his service, other tattoo artists and workers were very welcoming at the shop. From consultation to tattoo, D was professional, calm, and friendly. Definitely coming back to him to finish my tattoo sleeve. Would definitely recommend this tattoo shop to anyone looking for a tattoo in the Bay Area! read more

I really have very bad trust issues. I was looking for a really great place to get a good tattoo I was looking everywhere. I asked my coworker and told me about lifestyle ink I did my homework and I seen this one artist name Ching very great art work. I met with her in person I explain myself to her and how my life was and what this tattoo really means to me . She told me I got you I said okay. Few months go by then the day came to get my tattoo we sat down again we talked I explain I have very bad trust issues she explain to me that's okay your in great hands you can trust me I said okay and it was the best decision I ever made . Ching put her own design for my tattoo and my mind is blow away by the results of my tattoo . People are asking we're did I get it done at I tell them. Ching is so down to earth and such an amazing person and artist the level of skills that she has is mind blowing by far she left me speechless and she sighed my tattoo. She is the artist I'm just the canvas and folks Ching made a Masterpiece. read more

I got my first 2 micro tattoos by Cali (Alan)on my birthday today. He was awesome and I absolutely love my tattoos!! He was super patient and printed the heart I wanted in 3 sizes - the first size he printed was the one I went with. :) Thank you so much, Cali, for your patience and attention to detail. I'm so excited that you were the one to do my first (and second) tattoo! I also brought my son, and Cali was super accommodating, letting him sit close to me. It was an excellent experience and I couldn't be happier! read more

Do NOT go here for text tattoos! I came here because I wanted to cover up a scar that I have on my arm. First off, the owner, Daniel, will make you feel rushed. I wanted to check out different placements, but each time I asked to check out a different area, he made a joke like, "*Sigh* I should've charged you my hourly rate." When I made a comment about checking out a different font, he said, "What! You're committed already to this font." Ugh, as soon as he made these comments, I should've just walked straight out. I don't care if I had to pay $500 or more for the tattoo, I wanted it to turn out perfect, considering I had a scar there and wanted to cover it up perfectly. And guess what? It was far from perfect. The tattoo is COMPLETELY crooked that everyone made comments afterwards like, "Omg, what was the tattoo artist thinking? Why did you go to that tattoo parlor?" Sure, I got a complete refund from Daniel, but what good use is a refund if I need to spend that money to go to a different parlor to try to fix it? Even if I try to get it fixed, it'll never be perfect because everything is crooked. Daniel told me that it's due to my scar, but honestly, it's not, because the tattoo slants up, and I have zero scars at the end. He just didn't pay attention to any of the details. The tattoo SLANTS UP, what the heck? He was NOT focused on trying to get me the perfect tattoo, he just wanted to finish his job and end his night. This was the worst mistake of my life that I really regret -_- read more

If your looking for a clean tattoo that stands out above the rest this is the place to go. Last night I had my appointment with "D" who is the owner of the shop. He was easy to talk to and he knew exactly what I wanted and at the point I made my appointment. The whole time D was working on my arm the talk about his shop was vibe. Being there getting to listen to everyone talk not to mention the throw back jams in the background he was right. It was a great experience. In the mean time it only took little less than two hours. D work fast but works clean. I'm ready for my next one see you at LyfeStyle Ink read more
