Armondo is my artist. He was very sweet and professional. The shop atmosphere was nice with Elvis music playing. Very clean & friendly. Love my new tattoos and the touch up Armondo did on my tribute rose for my mom who lost her battle with cancer. Will definitely be coming back with family and friends. read more

Flew in from Washington state to hang out with my mom and sister. Called Mums ahead of time to set up a consult and needle time. Wanted something to represent my sister and father bother fighting and beating cancer. Dion did an amazing job with the boxing gloves and watch. Mom and sister got art done by Roger and Tyler. The shop was fun and helpful. Only thing i could say about an improvement, i wish dion would have drawn up a couple other pics. I have very little imagination or drawing skills. I rely on my artist to do their thing. The art turned out amazing and he was willing to make the changes i suggested. I will for sure go back to this shop when I am back in that area. read more

such a fun, welcoming environment. Olajuwon has done two of my tattoos and I have an appointment to get a third! he always does a great job, and I have a fun, positive experience every time. I highly highly recommend Olajuwon!! read more

Blue did a killer job on my tattoo! Such a pleasant experience. Very light hand with a clean result. Nice guy. I will be back for more!

The fact that they give back to the community is what initially struck my interest. Went in on Friday the 13th to drop off two backpacks full of school supplies for the less fortunate and made my appointment to get tattooed. Blue is amazing!! He's pleasant to be around, super hilarious, and absolutely generous. Without a doubt I will be back in the short coming weeks. Thanks again Blue! read more

Such a great experience from beginning to end. This tattoo turned out way better than expected. Thank you Blue, you're amazing!!!

Roger is seriously the BEST! The tattoo shop was so clean and the staff was so welcoming. He was very nice and made getting a tattoo a wonderful experience for me! I will definitely be returning with my friend and I plan to recommend Roger to any of my friends looking to get a tattoo. Thank you so much for all your hard work! read more

Mums custom tattoo - Roger Solis' amazing work on my thigh! - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

If I had the option to not give them any stars I WOULD! To start with, upon entering there was no one at the front desk. Second, once someone approached us I got some rude ass attitude when all I wanted, was to ask a question and to see some of their work , in which I was planning on getting done on my body .. oh well, I understand they do "appointments only" however I don't think the customer service I got was reasonable just for a question and setting up a date for some work . read more

I'm very pleased with the work Blue has done for me today. I've wanted this Roman numerals tattoo for quite some time and today I made the appointment and got it done! The atmosphere, customer service, and cleanliness is definitely a 10 star rating! Everyone I interacted with was stellar, Blue and his great team have an outstanding work ethic and strive for the best! Again thanks Blue! Yours truly a lifetime customer read more

This place is seriously the best - I've been here a few times now and will keep coming back for all my new tattoo ideas. I always see O; he is a really talented artist and I trust him to do freehand and to make all my ideas happen. Would highly recommend coming here for your next tattoo. read more

Just got a quick beauty done by Olajuwon! Perfect line work and enjoyable personality. I had a great experience and he did a great job! read more

Mums custom tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

Love Briana. Love her. I usually hate going to new shops because there's always an air of judgment and arrogance, but not here. They make you feel right at home and to top it off, the work is great. As soon as I met Briana, I was completely at ease and knew I could trust her work. I couldn't be happier with my tattoo!!! Hopefully I'll be seeing Briana again! read more

Just had my tattoo done here yesterday by Josh and I love it!!! He took the time to work around what I wanted even though I wasn't sure how I wanted it. And everyone is so friendly and nice here, makes you feel so welcomed. If you guys need a tattoo come and see Josh he will take care of you and I promise you wont be disappointed. read more

First off, Briana is awesome!!! A little about Mums': the shop is in a great and easy to find location, its clean, and I always feel welcome ... but I digress....seriously, check out Briana's work and you will be a believer like me!!! She can handle any idea you throw at her and always executes it beautifully, whether it be more traditional or something a little outside the box, her lines are always super clean and her choice of colors are on point. She is an amazing artist and I welcome her artistic point of view when it comes to my latest piece. Not to mention, she's awesome!! Getting tattooed by Briana always feels like I'm chillin with one of my bff's and the time always flies (and her calm demeanor always helps ease my pre-tattoo jitters. what?? don't act like you don't get them!!). Check her out!!! read more

I've gotten 2 tattoos here with Keagan. He's a cool guy! He did some good work! would def recommend it, nice lil shop next to a bfast place. and they always always say you should eat before a session. convenient. read more

Mums tattoo is the place to go. Olajuwon is the man to see, awesome on pricing and always makes you feel like an actual human being. You get awesome vibes off this guy he is the man to see for sure . Everyone get it done by big dawg ! read more

Just came in to get a tattoo for my daughter's 18th birthday and we saw Tyler and he made her feel really comfortable and at ease. She was really nervous driving to shop. Tyler is awesome. Definitely recommend this shop the drawings on the wall and in their profile books were really nice. read more

It's a nice spot with some cool decor and a nice atmosphere. I've gotten most of my tattoos from Zoe and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Everyone here is really nice and easy to get along with though and I recommend this shop to all my friends. read more

I went into mums maybe about 6 or so months ago was kinda hesitant I've had a few bad experiences in the past with tattoos some of which I wanted to get fixed and also add on a half sleeve met up with Erik the owner of mums not only did he make me feel welcome but he was very helpful with ideas all and all great experience at Mums. Friendly welcoming staff, amazing art. I will defiantly be back very soon thanks again Erik read more

Erik gave me the best half-sleeve. I came to him with the idea for a cherry blossom tattoo, but I didn't like the tattoos of cherry blossoms I saw on other people. I did some research and came to him with 5 different images I found on google of the artistic depiction of a cherry blossom that I liked/preferred and had in mind. He was able to sketch out a masterpiece! I was so happy with what he drew, and it was exactly what I wanted. 4 sessions later, and I walk around with beauty on my sleeve every day. I receive compliments no matter where I go asking me about it. His lines are sooo clean and it came out great. Go see him :) read more

Zoe is a fantastic artist! Wonderful line work, professional attitude and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend!

So, you want a tattoo and are on Yelp looking for just the right place to go. If you want a talented, seasoned, nice, professional and helpful person doing your tattoo then you need to go to Mum's Tattoo. The shop isn't a dark, dirty, uninspired place. Mum's is a very clean, inviting and creative tattoo shop. Everyone I met that worked there asked if I needed help and made me feel welcome. The portfolios show the kind of talented artists that work at Mum's. Go see for yourself if you don't believe me. Jim has been doing tattoos for over 15 years and is extremely good at what he does. When you are done you can reward yourself with a cold beer next door at the Fox. read more

Good tattoo shop. Good customer service, easy going atmosphere with no unnecessary pressure or aditude from the artists. Blake Aiken was nice and does great traditional work. I will recommend this establishment. read more

My girlfriend was ready to get her next meaningful tattoo, so we sought out a highly reviewed shop and saw Mums. Excited as we were, we walked in and the guy immediately shot down her idea and said it made no sense. Her idea is something she's always dreamt about and he didn't hesitate to break her vibe. This is something permanent. I say go elsewhere for an experience. read more

My wife and I have come to this shop many times to be tattooed by Erik. He does top notch work and is an extremely gifted artist, not to mention a very chill guy. I just completed my second session (last night) on a full sleeve that Erik designed for me from scratch, combining several elements that are important to me into an organic design that flows together beautifully. I love the progress and can't wait to see it finished! Worth every penny. The shop is nice and cozy, and the staff is all very friendly. Go see Erik! You won't be disappointed! read more

Im so happy I found this spot, everyone is so welcoming and talented! I took on a big piece with Blue and I am very happy with his work

Wanted the human rights symbol tattooed on my finger super small and I didn't think anyone would be able to do it because tattoo artists always bitch about small tattoo's but Blue was so chill and did such a great job. The tattoo is super clean and nice. He doesn't have any minimum fees and is super nice. Will 100% be coming back read more

Blue was so amazing! He listened to and drew out exactly what I wanted. I'm more than happy with my tattoo!!!!!!! Definitely recommend!

I got a tattoo done by Shawn and it was so beautiful that I am ready to get another one by him. He did such a great job and I hardly scabbed over and the swelling in my leg and foot was minimal. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is thinking about getting something. The charge for this tattoo was minimal also. Thank you Shawn. read more

Much thanks to Erik!!! Just got some ink yesterday and couldn't be happier!! He was very friendly, clean, professional, fast and came up with the perfect design for me.. I'll be seeing him soon. Thanks again Erik.. read more

Not impressed with the quality of the art, and weak customer service. Trainees are terrible. Also the price is stupid high for the quality of the product. read more

I love Dion. He's given me multiple tattoos over the years and I'm always so happy with his work. He is able to adapt to the different art styles that I'm asking for and he really cares about the quality of his work. He's incredibly talented and it shows through in his tattooing. I can't wait back to get more from him. read more

My best friend wanted her first tattoo and I wanted my fourth, we were about to go funhouse after a recommendation but popped into this cute little tattoo shop instead and got a cute side boob rose and my best friend loved her African outline both done by mark! read more

My ink was done by the fabulous Shannon Lee!! Came in there with a drawing (idea) to represent my 2 sons. Gave her the freedom to interpret the drawing and she made it more alive. She took her time with me and I didn't feel rushed through the process. The care she gave me was invaluable. No soreness or throbbing. I really lucked in knowing Shannon and this shop. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Shannon!! read more

I was having a real hard time looking for the right artist to tattoo a rose on my hand, literally have been looking county wide with little to no results. I happened to stumble across this shop walking out of the restaurant next door. Long story short, I was flipping through the photo albums of the artists and their work and I fell in love with the roses that Jim did. I ended speaking to Jim and was explaining to him what type of tattoo I wanted and where. He was real straight forward with me, giving me the pro's & con's about getting a tattoo on my hand. After speaking to him, I felt comfortable enough to get inked up by him. I set an appointment up with Jim and sent him the pic of the tattoo I wanted. Yesterday, I went in and Jim showed me an outline of the rose he drew up and he added much more detail and it look ten times better than the original picture. All in all, Jim is GREAT at what he does, knows his shit and the final product was AMAZING. I am absolutely in LOVE with my tattoo. He can definitely expect me back for some more ink, I'm already looking for some new ideas. SIDE NOTE: I'm extremely picky when it comes to just about EVERYTHING, so for Jim to nail this tattoo speaks volumes! Go check him out and see for yourself. read more

Mums custom tattoo - Rose done by Jim. 3/27/2017 - Tattoo Near Me - San Diego, California

I got tattooed at mum's and was totally amazed at how the artists drew my design right in front of me. I told Jim what i was wanting and he drew it and boom it was on me and im can't say how happy i am with the art work. read more

I wanted a small outline tattoo on my foot so I called to make sure I could walk in and was told to come in. My tattoo artist was Dion. I showed him the simple design I had sketched out and where on my foot I wanted it. He let me know that where I wanted it was a spot that might lead to the ink bleeding and suggested a slightly different placement. He cleaned up my design and warned me the outside of the foot is very sensitive. After the tattoo was finished he told me to watch the healing on the bottom of the design and to come in for a free touch up if needed after it had healed. I am happy with the placement and look and will happily recommend Mums and Dion to friends. read more
