San Pedro Tattoo

Amazing service
Me and my friend went tonight to get our ears pierced
They were clean
They made sure we left happy
Gave us a great deal
And explained how to properly care for our piercings
And it was fast and hardly painful
:)

Great job on my mini Honu tattoo… walked in to get a mini tat to complete my lower sleeve. Shop clean, artist friendly, and was not rushed.

I absolutely looveeee San Pedro Tattoos! David does his thing, very detailed and takes his time. He did my sleeve on my whole right side and I’m so in love it still looks brand new! I’ve never had any work done by the others but their work is good too! Highly recommend that people go to every artist that works in San Pedro Tattoo, (in other words they’re all great and whoever you choose to your work from there, you won’t regret it).

Joshua has worked almost exclusively on my heavy metal sleeve and I could not be happier with the results. The linework, shading, and texturing is perfect and he has been flexible yet independently creative throughout the entire process. He has worked towards a vision for my sleeve that can only be brought forth when a client and artist collaborate rather than clash. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Im proud to have his work as well as support this local shop!

The shop is clean. Everything is really professional. I love my tattoo done by David Arriaga. I’ve been to some shady looking places for some of my tats and San Pedro Tattoo has the best look inside of it I’ve ever seen because of its urbanized structure and rich background story. I encourage everyone to go get tatted here and love your tattoo because they don’t have any flaws.

My husband and I have been going to San Pedro Tattoo for 12 yrs. We have gotten many tattoos by David. He does awesome awsome work! I have gotten many compliments on my art work and always recommend San Pedro Tattoo. We are happy and lucky to have found David! Thank you for all of your beautiful art work you have done for me and Pep!

I love LOVE all the beautiful body artistry I have been blessed with from my artist from San Pedro Tattoo! The whole shop is clean from front to back. That says a lot when you’re trying to get under the needle for your permanent body ink master piece. If you are expecting a body masterpiece, this is the artists you should checkout.

David’s awesome! We started at two stars, we are now at a back piece and going on the arms. Great artist, really helps to piece your ideas together and give you more than a simple tattoo. Highly recommend. .and highly recommend an appointment.

I’ve been going to San Pedro tattoo scene I was 18 I’m 26 now and I wouldn’t switch. Davids really cool and takes his art seriously and gets down to the point for a good price. I would recommend them to everyone I know for sure.

In the recent past my husband and I have had tatoo’s at San Pedro Tatoo. My niece and her two children recommended San Pedro Tatoo. They have had several Tatoo’s done there. There are several artists there, however we met David and we love his work. David is an exceptionally talented artist and he has created beautiful, realistic tatoo’s of our granddaughter that we lost to cancer. David even put a twinkle in her eyes and she is beautiful. People comment on the realistic beauty of the tatoo’s and ask where we had the work done.
San Pedro Tatoo practices clean, sanitary, sterile techniques. As a career hospital employee, sterile techniques are of the utmost importance to prevent the spread of infection and disease.
San Pedro Tatoo is our family Tatoo stop and we recommend San Pedro Tatoo to all of our friends and family. We’ve been to other places for tatoo’s locally and out of state and we give San Pedro Tatoo two thumbs up for all your Tatoo needs.

Amazing quality art. The artists take their time to conversate and bond with the clients. David has been my artist for 3 years now, mainly because the quality of the tattoos are so great. Josh is a very friendly person as well. Great atmosphere, great art, great people.

I have been going there for years now! David has always helped me find what I am looking for. I have been working on my upper torso and he has created some unique tattoos for me David has always helped me put my tattoo ideas into perspective. There has been times where I am not sure on size or color and he has given me the best advice and recommendations. I have visited other locations near San Pedro but this Tattoo Shop in particular is the one I was convinced would be the best quality work around town. David has some awesome realistic portrait work skills!!!

I’ve been going to San Pedro tattoo for over 4 years now on a regular basis David Arriaga is the best artist I’ve ever had every piece he’s done has turned out perfect which is why I’ve never even considered going anywhere else. Go check them greats vibes and unbelievable artwork!

I’ve been going to San Pedro Tattoo now for over 10 years originally they had different tattoo artists then they have now the staff is still as awesome as when they first opened their doors on 8^th and pacific the new location is great! David is my first and still my tattoo artist he is always available to answer any questions is fast to email/​text you back about appointment questions and is flexible he always makes sure to get what you envision on a piece of paper Josh has a different style but has a very light hand and has awesome artwork! My family, my husband and my self have all been tattooed by both of them! As a parent myself I think the person who stated they tattoo «children» should state facts or go by the present artists now also children can get a fake Id anywhere and they shouldn’t discredit the artists for the things «children» do. This is my family and My only shop I refer everyone here!

This place is awesome. David the guy that is doing my tattoo is talented and is not expensive. The whole process was easier then I thought. I love my tattoo can’t wait for my next one.

David is an amazing custom tattoo artist, very experienced in any style, from black and grey to color work. When going to San Pedro Tattoo you do not have to worry about getting bad work.

Came to san pedro tattoo for my first tattoo in 06 and havent been anywhere since! Now my family and friends come here too… I have over 20 tattoos from small to larger pieces and always get complimented on my work either about the detail or color. I have gotten tattooed by David my number1(arms, thighs, legs and pretty much most of my body) and Josh (sternum tattoo) both do a great job and always makes me feel welcomed when I come in! Great service and great prices!

My first time coming here I was highly recommend to see Joshua. I had emailed him prior to my appointment. He was 100% professional and made me feel comfortable because the tattoo I was getting was by far the biggest piece I have. It was two sitting long but I feel as if it is the best tattoo I have. He has such a light hand, and even while he is tattooing you can tell he is so focused. I have and I will definitely come back and book an appointment with Joshua!

I didn’t realize that getting my first tatt would be such an ordeal. Who knew you have to make appointments and look at portfolios in order to choose your artist?
My friend and I originally went to another local popular spot (who shall remain nameless), but they weren’t very helpful, were completely booked (although the shop appeared empty) and they seemed to have cared less about my money (which is still green last I checked and spends like everyone Else’s).
So she suggested San Pedro Tattoo. She knew where it was and even though I had never heard of it, I was insistent on getting my tatt done ON THE SPOT in time for my birthday (which is tomorrow btw). Anyhoo… we parked, walked in to a clean (but empty) shop and we were greeted by Albert.
I had been carrying my design around for the past two years, so I already knew what I wanted. We walked in at 6:00pm and we were both walking out at 8:50pm both having been inked by Albert. He NAILED my design! I won’t lie, it hurt like hell because it’s in the middle of my back — but I couldn’t be happier! I also had him add a design element not originally part of my idea, and he NAILED that too!
I honestly don’t think I’ll be getting another tattoo (because I’m a punk when it comes to pain), but if and when I EVER do, I’ll be going back to see Albert. HE’S THE BOMB! Mine was finished in 45 minutes and so was my friend’s tattoo. They both came out GREAT!
The shop is clean, the needles are sterile (he showed them to us still in the package before opening them for the first time). We asked tons of questions and he was happy to answer all of them without making us feel stupid for asking!
Albert is passionate about his art and has been doing this for over 10 years… and it shows. San Pedro Tattoo ROCKS!
