    I got my first tattoo at 60 today and I LOVE it. Joshua was super in coordinating with me on what I wanted and recommended the best artist for the job. When I arrived Ms Ting consulted with me and handed me off to Lao Wang. Lao was meticulous in the preparation ensuring it was placed in the best spot and then quickly delivered the most delicate and beautiful tattoo. The studio was very clean and the staff were very patient and professional. I HIGHLY recommend this tattoo studio, especially if it's your first tattoo. I am so grateful that Lao was able to deliver the exact tattoo and did it even better than I imagined.

    I've been going to Shanghai tattoo for a handful of years now and have had 3 different artists, last one being Theresa. The shop is always clean and full of fun energy. The artists are very well trained, thanks to excellent ownership. Theresa was very detailed with my tattoos of my daughter's drawings. She was pleasant to talk to and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this shop and their artists!

    Phoenix rising from Lotus Flower. I am over the moon with how this turned out. Such detail and attention to what I was invisioning. Very personable and immaculately kept business. I would have to say, if your looking for great artists practicing their artistic skills, this shop is for you and will not dissapoint. This is my first tattoo at 59 and a very enjoyable. experience. Going back tomorrow for my other tattoo. The atmosphere was perfect. Update : This is the finished tattoo from today, Scorpio Sun sign entwined with Aries Moon sign. Turned out amazing and will be going back for some more EPIC art. The artist I worked with is Alexander his artistic ability to meet me where my vision was, was spot on. This tattoo shop is a community of super talented humans. Loving what they do and making visions come true.

    Ting and her husband Josh took real good care of me. The team here at Shanghai Tattoo was patient and flexible insuring I got exactly what I asked for. I initially went in for a consultation and described what I was looking for bringing references to Ms. Ting. She wasted no time picking the perfect artist for the job @tattoobytala (ig) who studied the references briefly and custom designed my piece using his own style and expertise. Prior to the first session I had the opportunity to review the design and modify as needed. Tala is a master tattoo artist and his work is beautiful. He has a very soft touch, very precise. These guys are fun to hang out with and I enjoyed the whole experience. Spent about 20 hours on my back in 4 sessions with a 2 week break for healing after first session which was the lining. The time flew by. Will be returning for more tattoos.

    Came in for a Friday the 13th tattoo. We had awesome Nadine be our artist. My girlfriend and I found their Instagram page and saw they were doing flash tattoos. They had some cool designs but what caught my eye was the ditto faced Pokémon tattoos. My girlfriend asked Nadine if she can do a Gengar which is my favorite Pokémon and she did. When we got there the place had a nice zen vibe. Made us feel welcomed. We were greeted by Nadine and she was amazing and super friendly. Our tattoos came out amazing . I got the gengar and she got the bulbasaur

    I called in the day before their Friday the 13th flash sale, I saw that they were doing ditto Pokémons. I had asked if they could do a gengar because my bf absolutely loves him and they were able to accommodate. We were taken in early by sardine.inks she was absolutely wonderful and super friendly. She made the experience awesome, on top of that it was my bfs first real tattoo at a shop so that was amazing. The shop interior is exquisite lolol. I love the fun art. We actually went to another tattoo parlor after this one for other flash sale tattoos and our experience at that place was trash. I highly recommend this place and would go back. Biggest thank you to our tattoo artist!

    This is when we finished my first session.

    Shanghai Tattoo is the absolute BEST! From customer service to quality of work. Josh up front is the friendliest and always super helpful when booking appointments and answering questions. I saw Ting for a pretty good size tattoo and she drafted up the design really quickly with great understanding of exactly what I wanted. I had some ideas of placement that wouldn't work with how my leg bends, it would have distorted the image. She was able to create the look and placement I wanted with a few modifications that make it look perfect even when my leg is bent which is very hard to accomplish. She killed it. She works quickly and uses perfect heaviness with her tattooing machine. She is incredibly talented and made me feel really comfortable the whole time. The amount of respect and kindness I received from everyone in this shop is unmatched. I recommend Shanghai to anyone looking for a quality tattoo by amazing people. My favorite is Ting but I've followed the shop for years and they don't have any bad artists come through so I would trust anyone in the shop with my next piece. If I could give more than stars I would!

    Josh was helpful finding an artist to execute my idea. Clean shop and positive vibes, with a professional floor plan. They respond to email quickly when the shop is open. I guess this is their new building. The area surrounding the shop is prettier than most tattoo shops I've seen. You have a nice view while getting a tattoo. Alex did my tattoo, but is visiting so you might not get him. If you are able to book with Alex, I highly recommend it. He executed my idea well and people are super impressed with the final product. I have 6 tattoos and this one was the best overall experience. Thanks to everyone at Shanghai Tattoo for providing such a nice shop.

    HIGHLY recommend to see Ting if you want something in Chinese. She is a native speaker and does brushwork with lovely detail. Typically she only sees 1 client a day for large pieces, and is scheduling for 2025. But because my tattoo was just one, palm-sized character, she saw me the same day as my consult. Took her only 20 min. Plus Shanghai Tattoo is a legit business in Old Folsom, with everyone's permit on the wall. Cleanliness/infection control is a priority.

    This is the finished cover up with the original. Hailey took her time to make it perfect.

    I haven't had a tattoo since 2013. I happened to see Hailey's work on instagram and made an appt. Shanghai tattoo is in a cool location, has a great vibe, and is very clean. Hailey is an amazing artist! I am so glad I found her! All the artists are very professional, and the entire place is welcoming. Anyway Hailey did a large piece on my thigh. I have zero artistic vision and she worked with me to bring it to life. After she did that piece I wanted a touch up of a very old tattoo, and she gave me a couple of options. Honestly, I trusted her enough to do it her way and holy cow she did not not disappoint! The piece in my thigh was supposed to come off this old tattoo, but after the thigh was done it didn't look right. She paid so much attention to the detail and improved it by 1000%! I will never see another artist as long as she is doing tattoos, she's amazing. Very professional and easy to work with, with a light touch.

    On Friday the 26th of July, I had an appointment with Tala for a Phoenix session and I was amazed with the design, color, how much detailing and how awesome he was. He doesn't even disappoint and I keep coming back. He does use clean products and does use new needles which makes it amazing and how dedicated he is to getting the job done professionally. Tala is incredible with his work and will get what your asking for. I haven't been disappointed and does respond to messages real quick. Everybody at this shop are incredible and make you feel welcomed. I have few more ideas that I have in mind saved for Tala. The owner is professional and takes care of the payments. Also, tipping is must for me. P.S. Buy the aftercare because it helps tremendously.

    Idk if enough people know about this shop but I definitely plan on coming here for another future tattoo. I scheduled an appointment that was honestly short notice (like 3 days prior) and Maci fit me into her schedule. She was really nice and professional, and kept conversation with me during the process. She was also really gentle and I loved the placement that she came up with for my tattoo, and I've gotten so many compliments. The shop is gorgeous and clean and everyone that I spoke to was very polite and professional.

    I worked with Ms. Ting and I promise you won't be disappointed. I have a few tattoos but this one meant so much to me and I was so nervous. Josh and Ms. Ting made me feel so welcome and I couldn't be more grateful. The memorial to my baby girl couldn't have come out better!

Now, I have been up and down all over Fairway Drive back in the day.. so this shop was new to me. When I first walked in... I had to pick my jaw up of their floor. This has got to be the most beautiful tattoo/body piercing shop I have ever been to. If you are a plant lover, your going to be in heaven! Find something to pierce or tattoo just so you can enjoy the feng shui space they have created. I felt peaceful and with harmony.. I first spoke to Jay. Rad dude! He was tattooing an octopus when I walked in. Then I met Tessa. She helped me find my jewelery and even installed it for me to help me get on my way faster. While here, I got to meet Athena, who's tattoos I have seen in Instagram before coming here, so it was very cool to meet someone I have only seen online. I will be back to pierce something or to get a tattoo by Jay, lol. See you guys soon!

I also noticed them taking special care to consult with and guide folks who were new to tattoos without coming across as condescending, which was really awesome. A huge shout out to Travis. He was super friendly and communicative and really collaborated with me to nail down a design I loved. He executed the tattoo to perfection as well and added a bunch of details that made my memorial tattoo really sing. He even took the time after I left to message me with some aftercare tips. I can't recommend Travis enough.

Fast forward to Christmas Eve, I text her and said, "Let's go the day after Christmas. No excuses." I searched for a tattoo shop with good reviews and found Lucky Buddha Tattoo. Since it was Christmas Eve night, I couldn't get ahold of anyone (understandably), so we decided to just try our luck the next day. The shop is located off San Juan and Madison, which can be a busy area, but there's parking right out front... huge win. When we walked in, we were greeted by their apprentice, Sophia, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming. We explained what we wanted and hoped we could get it done that day. Our original idea was to place the tattoo on the palm area, but Sophia was very transparent about how ink usually doesn't hold well there. She suggested an alternative placement that still worked perfectly with our vision. After discussing the price, we decided to go for it. Luckily, she had availability right then and there. She was so patient, making every tweak and edit we asked for without hesitation or attitude Absolute gem. While she was designing, we hung out up front and got some unexpected puppy therapy! their sweet pit bull wandered over and decided my friend was her chosen human. She jumped right into her lap and chilled, which was especially adorable since my friend is normally scared of big dogs. Instant icebreaker. The entire vibe of the shop was warm, friendly, and chill. The owner even came out and chatted with us for a bit, which just added to the good energy. Once we finalized the design, Sophia got to work. She had a gentle hand, and each tattoo only took about 20 minutes. We walked out beyond happy. the tattoos came out perfect, and the experience was even better. Thank you Sophia, for your awesome work! I'll definitely be coming back for my next one.
