First time getting inked at lifestyle ink with chie. I got to admit, I have a lot of tattoos but chie by far hands down did best work out of empty tattoo, belmont tattoo and Godspeed tattoo. With out of doubt chie did the best work out of all of these other places. She's done the work they couldn't do. If you want a really good tattoo I recommend heading down to lifestyle ink and hitting up my girl Chie, she's the best. read more

I have to say, I am astonished of the cleanliness of this tattoo parlor. The workers too, probably the kindest and most attentive people I've come across in this industry. They're kid and food friendly. I came in here about a week ago to get a consultation with my boyfriend for the tattoos he wanted. He had quite a few ideas, so we were coming in to just get an estimate, see what it'd look like on him and discuss the different tattoos to see what would be first to mark his skin. I was truly skeptical and praying there would be no actual tattoo, day of. I was wrong, there was, and oddly enough, I am quite pleased. Daniel sketched on the initial idea my boyfriend had, FREE HAND and it was dope. I just wasn't down for such a big piece with future engagements coming along. He also sketched on the other ideas my boyfriend had in mind. My anxiety was growing as I didn't want to be the girlfriend to put her foot down and emasculate him in front of everyone in the store, tattoo artists included. However with a giant chest piece and some neck tattoos sketched on, the inner me started to freak out. I voiced my concerns to Daniel and the 3 of us threw ideas back and forth until we all found a spot that my boyfriend and myself could agree with. I really appreciate the attention to detail and care Daniel took, to make sure we were both happy with what he was about to do, along with the care he took while actually tattooing my boyfriend that same day. In fact, it came out much better than I thought it would. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND THE TWO OTHER ARTISTS IN HERE FOR ANY AND ALL FUTURE TATTOOS. read more

Ms Mitsuko Ching, This review is for you. On June 17th my mama "grandmother passed away peacefully at home. She was / is my everything. My angel in heaven. I was in the midst of planning my grandmothers funeral and I really felt the urge to get a meaningful absolutely PERFECT piece that would not only honor my mama but represent her elegance grace and beauty... I knew Ching was the perfect Artist the moment I met her. I feel it's extremely important to connect with your artist. There were many many connections. We cried we laughed and the process was truly amazing. Ching was able to squeeze me in a few days before my mama's celebration of life. I can't thank her enough. And I would like to mention Daniel super kind and caring to my kiddo! The shop is like family. "Ohana." My heart felt full and feels full every time I look at my tattoo... The roses signify her beautiful Red Rose bush. The three butterflies represent me my son and my mama... Lastly Ching was able to incorporate my grandmothers actual signature. Ching has some beautiful tattoos her self which all have beautiful significance... Ching you are truly amazing a beautiful person inside and out and It's shows in your work. So if you are ever looking for a DOPE ASS Artist Hola at your gurl Ching! "do what you love and love what you do and always do your best." Thanks Love, read more

I wanted to get a tattoo for my 50th birthday. I walked in to see Ching 7 hours before the year was up. I made it! I showed her some pictures and described what I wanted. She sketched something out and I have what I didn't know I wanted. It beautifully combined my elements. The whole shop is filled with awesome people who laughed and made me feel better. I'll be back. Thank you for being awesome read more

I give this place 5 stars Daniel and Ching are great artists, the place is well kept and clean. They open things up in front of you. Make you feel welcomed. The other day I brought my kid with me and Ching waited til my husband arrived to take our daughter, meanwhile Ching sat with her and gave her color pencils to color and Daniel gave her coloring pages. As for Tahlia the microblading lady, she is also great, Daniel sure does know how to pick the people he works with. Tahlia sweet lady , loved her customer service and bedside manner as she works on your brows she reassures you and shows you exactly what to expect. read more

If your in the market for a great tattoo, look no further! Lyfestyle Ink is the place to go. Daniel Hernandez has a very creative mind. I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he added his own touch as well. He knocked it out of the park! He did the tattoo in my profile pic. This was my second tattoo I received at Lyfestyle Ink in less then a year. Ramon did my first and I was equally impressed! The shop is clean and their all a great group of guys! I will be recommending them to all my friends that are in the market for a tattoo! Thanks again Dan! read more

Grateful i found LyfeStyle Ink...and more grateful to have Ching as my artist! She is a true artist and knows her craft!!! I have had two 1/4 sleeves done in less than 6 months and i couldn't be more amazed! Before that, i brought a friend (visiting from Germany) to LyfeStyle (it's when i first met Ching in 2019) , we told Ching what my friend was interested in but we weren't certain how to "words to ink" so to speak, and she NAILED IT! It was exactly what she wanted to honor her late mama. I will forever recommend Ching (and Daniel...I've seen him working on clients and he too is incredible)! read more

Yo, these guys are awesome. Got my first tattoo here a few days ago. When I came in to inquire about it though they really felt my idea, and I liked the vibes I got out of these guys more than any other shop I checked out for this tattoo. They're really not that intimidating, young, and definitely got mad artistic skills to figure something out about what you wanna get. I was able to get scheduled in on short notice, and I really appreciated that. Jose did my tattoo and was very professional and nice about it! He made it not so bad -- not even bad at all. Jose did a great job and I'm more than satisfied at his work. As for the other guys, Ramone was real cool and really dug my idea for my tattoo. The owner, Daniel was super cool too. They really got good vibes at this shop. I'd highly recommend Lyfestyle Tattoo to anyone who's looking for a sick rendition of their ideas and for anyone who really wants a work of art on their body. They know what they're doing and will definitely deliver more than you wanted. :) read more

It's been about 3 or so months since I came into This tattoo parlor for my finger tattoo, which also happens to be my first time getting a tattoo as a walk in. I can say the overall experience was a positive one and I had a good time not only getting the tattoo but talking with Ramon and Jose ! I would recommend this place to people ! The only reason why I deducted a star was because I feel like I was a bit overcharged. I got an outline of a crescent moon on my finger and it was $100 but then again what do I know ? lol I can't exactly remember the name of the woman who tattooed me but she had amazing hair and painting skills ! She was also a sweetheart, I'm mad that I don't remember her name.. UPDATE : her name was Ana :) read more

I've been coming to lifestyle ink since I got my first tattoo at 18 now I'm 24 and I definitely recommend it. Recently got a chest piece, hurt like a mf but Daniel was really patient throughout the sessions! read more

So in love with my new tattoo!!! Oh and I love the decor of this place. Love love love! read more

Lyfestyle Ink - Getting tatted... Looking good - Tattoo Near Me - San Mateo, California

I highly recommend Lyfestyleink and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I discovered them late last year through Instagram and have been visiting the shop almost every 2 weeks ever since to get some new ink done because of the incredible artists and warm environment. From the moment you walk in you can tell that all four artists care about their clients and want them to be comfortable. The majority of my work has been done by Daniel and Ching (and I had a small piece done by Hyphy). They listen to your needs but also help you to trust in the process. Personally, I just told them my ideas and let them run wild and I loved what they did! They are brilliant and talented, I would never go anywhere else. read more

I came in here for my first tattoo - a small script that has tremendous sentimental value. I saw that Mitsuko does fine line and decided to see if she had time. I got in right away and she was fantastic. My tattoo is healing nicely now and she calmed my first time jitters. She took the time to make sure the placement was perfect and that I knew how to take care of it after properly. The whole shop is really comfortable and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering for a piercing or tattoo. Thanks!! read more

I did my first tattoo, for my last 10 years' work on losing weight, and I finally think I am getting there, so this is an souvenir and celebration to myself. I walked into the shop, and luckily Ching met me, I only showed Ching a picture of what kind of tattoo I am expecting, and she understood what I wanted, she draw me a picture that caught my eyes right away, and I decided that it would be my first tattoo, and voila here is it. Beautiful and feminine, pinky flowers on my body! Loving it, highly recommend lifestyle ink and Ching to you! read more

Very clean facility with a great ambience. The artists are great and do great work overall. The environment is safe and kid friendly as well. From the art pieces throughout the shop, to the cleanliness from the floor to the chairs. If I could double up on the star rating I would. My suggestion is you go in directly to the shop to give your ideas and where you would like your piece for a firm quote. Hope you enjoyed reading my review! read more

Ching is an amazing artist. She really took her time working out what I wanted and really walked me through the process in a very patient and creative way while still working with what I wanted done. The parlor itself is an amazing testament to her overall creative abilities as an artist with many of her contemporary art pieces hanging on the walls of a very sharp and clean parlor. I have had nothing but compliments as to how ornate and detailed my tattoo is and have already without hesitation referred people to her. i am planning on getting one more in the next year and will absolutely seek her talents again.

Daniel is the MAN! Omg!!! I was very nervous about covering some scars I have on my leg and after 3 session you can't see them anymore. That alone deserves a round of applause but the beautiful work he did from just ideas I had in mind has left me speechless. He did everything FREESTYLE right on my leg. I trust this man to the fullest. I'm never going to anyone else! Anyone looking to get work done I recommend going to Lyfestyle. The whole shop is great, they make you feel welcome and answer any question you may have. read more

Lyfestyle Ink - Loving my scar cover up. Daniel is the best artist hands down. Thank you !! - Tattoo Near Me - San Mateo, California

All I have to say is Daniel is one of the best Tattoo freehand artists in the Bay Area and the shop is absolutely clean and professional. All 5 of my tattoos are one of a kind! = ) He listens and gives suggestions to where to place your tattoo. Ask if you are not sure where to place your tattoo he will give excellent suggestions. I did not know what designs I wanted myself but had ideas of what I liked lace w/roses a vintage and classic look not to colorful I sent him many pics of what I loved. As I wished he did all my tattoos freehand and to the proportion of my body which was key instead of copying a design that is from a different body size. I am picky!! Shop is clean and professional as well as amazing artists. I am gearing up for my 6th tattoo by Daniel. I am hooked in love with his suggestions and freehand work all amazing tattoos an eye to detail! Originally I came to him to cover an ugly surgery scar and old tattoo he in turn made be beautiful again.... Thank you Daniel for giving me the confidence and making me beautiful again! Highly recommended! Very detailed art work! read more

When I got my first tattoo here I was extremely nervous, but Ching helped me through it. I told Ching I wanted to design my next tattoo and once I drew the design Ching helped made my drawing even better by making a few edits. It was great collaborating on a design with such a great artist! Not only was the tattoo very personal to me, Ching also put her own twist to help make the drawing come alive. I recommend everyone who is interested in getting tattoos to come here! The staff is friendly and will do everything possible to make you feel comfortable. I will definitely keep coming back for more! read more
