My sister and I came here on a whim to get tattoos and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Claire, our artist, quickly sketched a designs and was ready to take us both in a time. It was my sister’s first time and she was very patient with her, answering any questions and prepping her for the tattoo. We both finished rather quickly and the fine line was beautiful. The shop wasn’t full so we were able to get straight to our sessions. We would definitely come back the next time we’re in SD. Thank you again Claire!!

I got my first tattoo on vacation and Clair was the SWEETEST!! I was so scared about the pain, and she not only reassured me, but explained and comforted me every step of the way. I will definitely be flying back to Sacred Tiger for my next tattoo. I'm obsessed with the designs, the atmosphere, and most of all, the staff. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone debating on getting a tattoo for the first time, or returning for another. So much love to this shop!

I went to Brooke for my first tattoo and I had an amazing experience! She did such a nice job and communicated the process the whole time. I absolutely love my tattoo! 10/10 recommend

The last time I got a tattoo Obama was president and it was a meh experience. This time I told Shane my vision and he brought it to life. Shane is a true professional who loves what he does and it shows. If you're looking to add ink I highly recommend Sacred Tiger Tattoo.

After getting a couple mediocre tattoos in my 20s I leveled up and started getting tattoos from Chris and I'll never go back! Chris has done some incredible pieces on me over the years and he's constantly pushing himself to evolve as an artist and putting out some very impressive quality work. I've had many strangers come up to me on the streets asking where I get my ink and I'm always happy to plug them into these pros. Not only does Chris have an incredible sense of what will look good based on experience he works with you to make your vision come alive so you can be proud to rock the finished product. This is not your typical trendy hipster iPad design tattoo shop that we have a dime a dozen of here in San Diego. These guys are ALL doing incredible work and have the years of experience and understanding to truly design anything your mind can envision and make it come alive on your body. Every one of the artists here are dedicated to the craft and treat clients like family. The shop itself is clean and the walls honor the evolution of the tattoo industry. They all pay close attention to detail when it comes comfort and cleanliness of their clients as well and play rad music during the process to get yourself in the zone for some immaculate ink therapy!
