Official Tattoos

Jannel is my go to piercer I have been working in tattoo shops for over 11 years and she is the first piercer I have had that makes it quick, painless and of course always a good time with her (I’ve had many piercings) hers always comes out perfect and somehow the ones she has done on me heal super fast. Prices are more than affordable, quality service and quality jewelry. No nickle!!!! Shop is always sanitary the vibe is inviting and a positive atmosphere. Also love the no wait time. If you’re looking for a piercer that will do it right she’s the one.

I went here for a septum piercing today. I went with Janelle Rivera and let me tell you she is an amazing piercer and also a very kind person, I always feel welcomed when I’m in the shop. I’ve gotten my nostril pierced here and my ears stretched all by Janelle. I have never had any complications her placement is perfect and my piercings have healed so well, I definitely recommend that you come here it’s a great place, great environment, great service and really clean.

Found Official Tattoos on Instagram and decided to stop by for Friday the 13th today for a quick tattoo and let me just say, THE BEST! The vibe was amazing, the staff was outstanding and my experience was like no other! I will definitely be returning! Highly recommend! My man and I were taken care by Brandon and a huge shoutout for doing such an incredible job on our tattoos! If you’re looking for some ink work y’all need to stop by Official Tattoos!

I don’t like to write bad reviews & in all honesty I should have spoken up but I was in shock of the difference. The first photo is what I asked for & the second is what I got. I was hoping to trust the process. Ethan did my tattoo and it is clear he can only do copy and paste tattoos.I write this in hopes no one else wastes their money or ruins their skin (or lives with heavy regret).I got it done w/ him yesterday & his home because it is a 2 min drive from my house. First mistake. We planned for 10am but I had a feeling at 9 to check my Instagram and he rescheduled it to 2 because he was at a concert the night before stuck in traffic. We agreed on 3pm then only for me to be waiting for 40+ min before I decide to wait at home. I asked for my deposit back but then he insisted on giving me 2 tattoos instead of 1. Getting done with the first one as I’m waiting for payment he is on the phone making plans to go out. 2nd red flag. Great but then he tells me he can do the cherub I want so I go back later for the cherub. At this point I’ve been waiting on the lobby for 30 min and I just want to get it done so I can move on from being jerked around all day.I was hoping to trust the process but it was my bad for not speaking up but he already broke skin when I saw the direction it was going. The shading in all honestly & white ink (??) made it even worse. I still paid and tipped because I didn’t know what else to do. I was also under the impression it would be compensated because that is what he made it seem like but whatever. Now I have to do a tattoo coverup & live with this ugly thing until I do.Don’t use him & Save yourself the hassle and money.

I came in with 2 of my girls and memo did an incredible job with all 3 of our tattoos, he was very patient and you can see he loves what he does!! my first tattoo after 2 years and im so glad it was done right! he has alot of talent and passion!

Orlando is the best person i’ve EVER had the pleasure to get a tattoo by! he was patient, gentile, and extremely kind. my tattoo had INCREDIBLE detail and was beyond what i had expected! i recommend everyone and anyone to come by and ask for Orlando! thank you so much for your skill and i hope you get the recognition you deserve :) you deserve to be on ink masters LOL!

Got a tattoo with memo, super talented kid and was super kind. Will definitely be going back for more. Cool shop too

I just got my second piercing (septum) from Jannel. She is an absolute master of her craft and a top notch professional. I give my strongest recommendation that anyone looking for a piercing book an appointment with her immediately!

Awesome place! Orlando has a light hand. Lines are on point, and is easy on the grip when you want him to be. His cover ups are top notch and the rest of the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Came here for my second tattoo and I just wanted a name and a heart. The tattoo artist “Snake” turned my plain Jane idea into an incredible tattoo, he added his own little details in there and it looks amazing. Most definitely coming back for my third tattoo . 10/10

I was able to walk in and within 30 minutes I was in the chair. Bugz did a great job when it came to making my simple idea happen. 100% will return as soon as I can. Thank you again @Bugzillatattoo !

@Bugzillatattoo.. Bro was absolutely the best artist i’ve been too. Awesome vibes here, great work, great pricing. Came as a walk in and was instantly greeted and fast service. Awesome place.

Bugz was my artist and did a phenomenal job. It was one of the best experiences Ive had getting a tattoo! Will be going back for any future tattoos and piercings. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Brandon was my artist for my tattoo, he did a good job everyone in the shop was so nice and welcoming !

Loved my tattoo will definitely be back. Shoutout memo, super talented.

I went here for a simple ear piercing because of the high ratings. Myra did not disappoint. She is super friendly and experienced. I’m turning 66 in January and asked if I could get my eyebrows tattooed by any of the artists here. She informed me that Bugs actually does cosmetic tattooing. The next week I spoke with him and I plan to have this procedure done in a few weeks. I’m very excited. I love that they’re right down the street from me and come highly recommended. Thanks, Myra. Maybe I’ll get another piercing done some day. Happy New Year!

FEMME IS AN AMAZING ARTIST AND PERSON. SHE IS SO CUSTOMER FRIENDLY, AND PROFESSIONAL. SHE HAS DONE ALL MY TATTOOS.

Just got a tattoo was the best experience vibes are good people are nice. If you’re looking for a place to get tatted Official Tattoo is the place to go.

Had a great experience with @femmefatale_ink she’s super talented and her vibe 10/10 definitely will come back (:

Solid tattoo from Brandon. Simple black and white with shading. Clean lines. Happy with the work!

Im speechless, Im happy how my tattoo came out. I like the shop vibes. They are really good and professional artists here in a Official tattoo company. Come vheck this guys out. Thank you Bugzillatattoo

I came to Brandon for a memorial tattoo of my mother, he was very professional and exceeded my expectations. This shop is such a family friendly place with great vibes! I will definitely be coming back for more work and highly recommend this place. He has a light hand and it wasn’t half as painful as i thought. If you’re looking for a professional friendly tattoo shop with reasonable prices and amazing work, this is the spot!

George is the absolute best! I am extremely happy with the work he’s done for me. He’s completed a full sleeve on my right arm and half sleeves on both my legs, all Aztec art work and statues. Next will be my full sleeve on my left arm. I 100% recommend George and Official Tattoos!

I’ve gotten pierced here before by Chan and had a great experience. I came back to get more piercings and I got to met two amazing ladies that did my newest piercings. They were both so sweet and helpful. They answer all my questions and have such gentle hands. I honestly didn’t even feel the needle go in, it was quick and painless. 5 out 5 I would totally recommend to come here and get your piercings done. Thanks again to Ana and Melanie for helping me out. I’ll see you guys in 2 weeks for some more .

Very nice people and it was quick for the nose piercing come here if u live near and what a tattoo or a nose piercing come here💙!!

I recently arrived to SD from Vegas on vacation. I was told great things about this tattoo shop and I was not disappointed. I got two large pieces from Brandon and I couldn’t be more happier that I got work done by him. I appreciate Brandon, Everest and everyone in the shop for making me feel so comfortable. I love the vibe all around. Thank you so much!! I still have one more session before I go back to Vegas but I will be back again. All love

Went to official tattoo company for one tattoo and kept coming back. brandon has been my tattoo artist for a couple years now. always is 10/10. great pricing and amazing work. the customer service is always above and beyond. love this shop and everyone who works there. would definitely recommend!!

Me and my girls wanted to spontaneously get matching tattoos…we called up Bugz at Official Tattoos and him and Snakes hooked us up on the spot. Very professional, clean and hella funny! Definitely 5/5 stars!!! We will definitely be coming back soon!!

I’ve been going to manny’s tattoo shop for many years now and have loved his work since day one of going. Growing up I’ve struggled with self harm and manny has helped me with getting some scars covered up for free. I love his work and I’ll continue going to his shop for some art work.

All I can say, is this place is AMAZING!!!!priced just right but more importantly, the artist @snakes really takes his time to ensure that this permanent decision is what you really want….

Melanie was super sweet and helpful. She pierced my nose and did a great job, she’s super friendly and definitely makes you feel comfortable when getting it done. I will definitely be coming back to get the other side on my nose done with her🩷🩷

Great artist had my first tatt by bugzilla recommend him to any one who wants so work beautiful shop and always has an artist on hand

Super talented people, clean and VERY Personable. Usually when you enter a tattoo shop its very intimidating and nerve racking. NOT THIS PLACE very comfortable environment very friendly and socialized . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Everyone is very professional. It was my first time coming here. I got helped by two awesome ladies Chan and Melanie that both answered my questions and both super sweet!! Melanie did my piercing she definitely knows what she is doing!I was very nervous and didn’t know exactly where I wanted my piercing placed she was super calm she helped and gave me her most honest opinion, as well as Chan . awesome place. definitely going back! 😬

Everz was very welcoming and bugz was suoer awsome to talk to such a cool guy he dod a beautiful 1/4 sleeve on me and bought me linch after i highly recommend to come here

I got my nose pierced by Melanie, and it was a 10/10 experience. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. She made me feel super comfortable. It was the second time I was getting it pierced so I was afraid of the pain. She has a really light hand so all I felt was a tiny pinch. Definitely recommend!!

Great service, great quality tattoo and the staff was real easy to work with. They were able to accommodate five of us as walk ins and the whole process went smooth. Thank you Bugzilla and Snakes!

I recently had an amazing tattoo experience at Officials Tattoo in San Diego, thanks to Orlando and everyone there. The place was super clean and well-maintained, especially Orlandos section. Orlando was not only talented but also incredibly friendly and enthusiastic. He made the whole process enjoyable and even gave me helpful information about aftercare and healing. I highly recommend getting a tattoo at Officials Tattoo. It was one of my first tattoos, and Ill definitely be going back.Go to Officials Tattoo and ask for Orlando. Hes amazing! Five stars all the way!

I went on Thursday 9/14/23 to get my tongue pierced by Melanie and she was absolutely amazing and sweet.. she talked me through the whole time and made sure I was doing alright… I highly recommended her and will be coming back for more piercings

Definitely recommend Bugzilla . Came in as a walk-in & was able to take me right away . The placement was perfect & very detailed.

This tattoo shop is amazing. The artist named bugzilla helped me with two wrist tattoos. He showed me different fonts and sizes. Told me what would look good and what wouldn’t . Eva at the front counter was so cool as well when signing me In. Will definitely be back!!

I came in with my friend for matching friend tatts and Bugz did an incredible job! We are very happy his work and the colors used were beautiful. The staff are so friendly, I would definitely come back

Literally got my first tattoo and they were so kind and honestly the tattoo process barely even hurt. My artist was George Ruply (snakes tattoos). He was so gentle while tattooing. Will go back again!!!

I went in to get my lobes pierced and Melanie was great !! It took me a while to get pierced again because of my previous experience and Melanie surpassed my expectations, she has such a gentle hand and is very quick ..will definitely come back again !!

I have had my cheeks pierced all the way through then replaced with dermals ripped out three times scar tissue and all and the piercer here was right on perfect. Out of all of the times Im mutilated my face and been pierced she has done the best job on all the pictures Ive ever had. And shes cute LOL if I desire to be pierced again Im definitely going to her.
