Came in here with a group of 6 on a bachelorette trip, they got us in right away and gave us all exactly what we wanted! The line work was fantastic for each of of us! I couldn’t be happier with the way mine turned out specifically. The artists were fun, professional, fast, personable, and so talented. If I’m ever back in the area I would absolutely love to get another piece done!
Stevie is AMAZING. He does many tattoo styles and is really good at making your ideas come to life. Just had a coverup done by him, and you can’t even tell.
I got this tattoo with Tristen and am beyond words for how well he did. I would recommend this shop and specifically him any day. It was such great experience, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I’ve been looking for the tattoo artist for me. When my friend suggested this place with how good her tattoos look I could not wait. Not only are the tattoos more than beautiful but also extremely good prices. Looking forward to coming back!
Accessibility: there are wheelchair accessible parking spots directly in front of the building with flat ground going into the building.Experience: my 70 year old mom got her ears pierced here by Ollie. She was nervous, but it went well. Regular ear piercings with titanium earrings cost $100. We will come back if we need any more.
Shout out to Doug for sharing his talent, time and amazing tattooing. He’ll ensure what you envision meets your expectations for sure. Professional, humble and likable person who will put you at ease while he’s performing his tattooing. Highly recommended. Aloha ke akua \m/
Went here about a month ago to get a fairly big tattoo. The tattoo came out great and the people who work here were all very nice. Thankfully lots to look at and a tv with movies playing so you dont get bored while you sit for 8 hours. Would highly recommend going here.
The piercer shannon is so quick and the sweetest ever 100/100 best piercer ive been to . she did my belly piercing and it was in and out super easy didnt hurt one bit either.
Stevie is the literal best. I’ve unfortunately been thru a few tattoo artists and not only has Stevie designed the most beautiful pieces I could have imagined, but he has fixed the ones I wasn’t happy with. I’m not great at envisioning what I want ahead of time and Stevie is the best to go to and just let his imagination do the work. He includes the elements important to me and then blows me away with the rest! The shop is always clean and everyone in there is professional and oozing with talent. I tell everyone I talk to to go to Grand Legacy. You won’t be disappointed.
Theyre all amazing but Lorenzos my guy! Super talented. Trust him a lot. He is done almost all of my tattoos and has always given them his personal touch. They come out amazing and is always a joy to work with. I will always trust him for future tattoos. 10/10 recommend grand legacy.
I’ve been to a few tattoo shops, and this one by far really made me comfortable! I really wanted to get a septum piercing after another piercer told me it wasn’t possible. Areal did my septum so easily. I thought the septum was going to hurt, but it didn’t. I also have a lot of anxiety when going to new places/artists but I wanted to get out of my bubble and try something new :) I left very happy with the piercing service, but as well as the environment provided there. I was treated with upmost respect, and that I was welcomed. I believe I also met Shannon, and she was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Thank you everyone!
Went in to get a piercing downsized. Friendly staff, amazing piercer! Everyone was very professional and helpful and answered all of my questions. Clean shop, very chill environment. I liked the piercer so much that I bought my daughter in that same day for her second ear piercing!
Thursday afternoon I did a walk in and was able to consult with an artist immediately and only had a two hour wait til I was in the chair. Doug was my artist and he was very professional and made the whole experience great. We enjoyed Grand Legacy so much the my husband returned this weekend to get his tattoo done as well. Again we were able to walk in and consult with an artist and he was in the chair immediately and Henry gave him this awesome Halloween piece. We were extremely pleased with the staff again this visit and we will be visiting again for all our tattoo needs.
Absolutely recommend! My boyfriend and I went to breakfast and saw this place next door and decided to stop in. We told them our ideas and they were super excited to do them and were very welcoming and kind the entire time! We both love the work and definitely will be back.
Always felt very welcome walking into this shop. Areal did my dimple piercing and she’s amazing and she did an amazing job!! She also made sure to follow up with me and ask any questions I needed answered about aftercare. Definitely will be getting all my piercings at Grand Legacy from here on out, so happy to put my piercings in the hands of Areal!
Henry did an amazing job with both tattoos. Absolutely love my rhino tattoo. He fixed the butterfly that was 19 yrs old and it looks incredible! Will def be back to see him again.
I haven’t gotten a tattoo in quite some time, and wanted something on my left arm, since my right arm has some work.I told Stevie I liked the symbolism of the Phoenix, and that I wanted something black and white but not too “masculine”. He drew up the perfect design!Stevie is super cool! He was super easy to talk to through this long session and did an amazing job!
Thank you Matt for outstanding artistry and a personality of gold! This tattoo is priceless we lost my Mom and my sisters and I wanted matching tattoos, he did an amazing job for my sister and I plus gave me his stencil to take home for our other sister. I highly recommend this place!
Stevie has been our tattoo artist since 2008 or so and he is Amazing!!! The entire Fat Kid tattoo family is great! Stevie does an amazing job time after time! My husband 1st tattoo come out 🙌!
We wanted to acknowledge Arielle at this establishment. She worked with us making jewelry for a short period of time to further her understanding as a jewelry expert. She is a very passionate piercer who loves her craft and has extensive jewelry knowledge. You will be in good hands if you receive piercing services from Arielle.Definitely recommend
My brother and I walked in to get tattoos. Lorenzo was able to work on us. Mine was simple, but his lines were super clean and perfect. My brother’s idea needed a little artist work. But he did a great job in making it spectacular.
I haven’t received any services here personally but the piercer, Arielle I’m very familiar with.I have been an instructor at piercing conferences, apprenticed 5 successful piercing specialists and have trained numerous piercers and shops owners globally. In my (almost) 20 years experience piercing and building studios Arielle stands out to me specifically for her customer service. While she claims Daith piercings are her thing, I firmly believe she shows remarkable talent for septum piercings.She’s a talented piercer and I would recommend her for anybody with a deviated or otherwise complicated septum piercing without question.
Update make sure you call before you show up. Google says theyre open their hours of operation on their door says they should be open and they are closed today.Ariel and Shannon were amazing, super friendly girls. Talk to me through everything and made sure I was comfortable. I will be back to get a new stud for my nose ring.
Staff is friendly, atmosphere is great. Been many times for piercings and tattoos.
Steve is an amazing artist and always gives me a great tattoo. The team here is always so welcoming and makes the experience an easy one. I recommend them to anyone looking to get new ink
Absolutely my best piercing experience. The prices are incredibly reasonable! Ollie was absolutely amazing. Very efficient, informative and kind. He talked to me through every step and made it a really quick and easy process. I will now always recommend him.
I called here for information about a piercing price and the person i spoke to was Very helpful and nice. But lip piercing price was pretty high
Very nice easy process making an appointment and was in and out in 10 minutes tops. Workers are very nice and attentive
Ive had 2 tattoos done by Stevie. 1 done by Lorenzo. And my lip pieced by Ollie.All 3 times here have been great. Friendly and funny tattoo artist. I loved the atmosphere each time visiting. Definitely would recommend this place to anybody.
Great first piercing! got my belly pierced and it was so fast and easy. very professional and many options for jewelry! I felt so comfortable and the pain was very minimal, very happy with the final result 💕
I can say for my first time it was great experience Henry was very friendly professional and so much talented Ill be there again for my other tattoo. Thanks guys
I go to this place for all my piercings and while both piercers are kind and considerate people, Ollie is an especially sweet guy. He really went the extra mile to make sure I was safe and satisfied whenever I had any complications with the piercings I received from him. I had such a pleasant experience with him every time I went to see him. Totally recommend him!
Great place! Ive taken my daughter here twice for piercings and we are super happy with how they both turned out. The staff is always nice and even when they are busy there is someone there to answer questions or help set-up and appointment. A few things we look at when checking a place out for piercings and/or tattoos, cleanliness, overall reviews, and whether or not the staff is friendly. Some places have brushed us off and when I am looking for something permanent on my body that is not the type of place I want. That is not the case with Grand Legacy though. Every time weve interacted with the entire staff they have always been great. The piercer is a super nice guy as well. One if the best local places to check out if you are in the market for something new.
Matt did the most incredible job on my snow leopard! I got this piece to represent my first research project for wildlife conservation that I have been working on this summer, here in San Diego. I’ve been working towards this career goal for years now, and the tattoo means a lot to me. Matt brought my vision to life and did a more beautiful job than I could have imagined. He also provided an all-around wonderful experience while I got the tattoo. I would recommend this shop, and this artist specifically, to anyone and everyone!!! I hope to come back for another one some day!
Got a septum piercing about a week and a half ago from Ollie! He definitely knows his way with piercings and was very helpful in his instruction on how to properly take care of my new piercing. Since then, my piercing is healing up well and I’ve gotten many compliments. Thank you so much!
Got my septum pierced and the ladies were so nice and made me feel comfortable, I expected the worst pain and surprisingly it didn’t hurt at all. Love them!
Excellent.Clean, great vibe, love my tattoo, great pricing. PROFESSIONAL!Stevie Odell, Tattoo Artist is the best.
Mike did an amazing job on my tattoo! Definitely will go back for more.. hopefully sooner than later!
I got an eyebrow piercing there and was not a fan. I had called the store early in the day and asked about the cost of an eyebrow piercing, they told me it was $40 and that was the whole conversation. I then went to the store and they told me an appointment was needed but unfortunately had not mentioned that over the phone. I wasn’t to excited about having to go back but I didn’t mind. I go back for my appointment and the employees and the customer inside weren’t wearing a mask (the piercer told me they were pretty much over the masks and it was optional). I should’ve left then but I’m vaccinated and went with it. The one part that I liked was the private room in the back. The piercer grabbed the jewelry without gloves on and only put some on as the piercing was done. He grabbed the jewelry out of a large tray, not wrapped in plastic which I should have taken a a red flag. Was nice and gave me the choice of the size of the metal balls of the piercing. When he drew the marking on it looked great but once I was in the car I notice the piercing is too low on my eyebrow and the top is pretty much on the hair. Concerning because he told me he had been piercing since 2003. He also recommended cleaning with antibacterial soap, when you should be using a saline rinse. All in all I will most likely be removing my piercing at one point :/
Grand legacy is a great shop all the employees are very friendly, it is very clean and Doug was amazing he made me feel comfortable the entire time and his art work was amazing I’m so happy with my tattoo and can’t wait to see it all healed up! Thank you!!
I got my piercings with Ollie. I was afraid of the whole process but he reassured me and made me feel comfortable. He guided me with breathing techniques, which helped ease the pain of the needle. Now the after care has been great! No sign of infection. No redness. No soreness. No pain. I am really happy with the results. Thank you Ollie!
I got my tongue and second nose piercing done by a piercer named Ricky. He did such an amazing job at making me feel comfortable and walked me through the whole process. I will definitely be coming back to this shop, it made me feel confident and secure that the people working there were experienced professionals ❤🙂
Stevie is amazing. Love the designs, clean work and fair pricing. Definitely recommend !
Great overall experience from consultation to final appt. with Mike. They have great line up of artist you can choose from. Highly suggest checking out their website for their artwork. They are very professional and the place is clean. Prices are reasonable. Recommending highly to friends and family. We will be back. Thank you Mike.
Ive gotten 3 tattoos here so far. Henry is my go to artist. I love his work, I love his attitude and nerdiness. Ill probably be getting my next tattoos from him as well. Definitely suggest this place and any of the other artists are great too!
My daughter got her ears pierced for her 8th birthday. Ollie was great with her, they look awesome, and she’s super happy with her new earrings :)
I can’t say enough good things about this tattoo shop! I wanted a last minute matching foot tattoo with my niece and not only did they make time for us, Stevie was incredibly kind and patient while we picked out our font. He made us feel welcome and comfortable, and OF COURSE the tattoo looks flawless. Great placement and perfect lettering. Thank you Stevie and Grand Legacy for a wonderful vacation tatt experience.
This place is awesome! Great experience getting tattoos with the new wife on our honeymoon. Henry and Tristen both do amazing work! I would definitely drive back all the way from Orange County to get more work done here.
I 100% Ollie for piercings he was so gentle and so clean! I got three piercing and they didn’t hurt at all. They made it so easy and it was on time. I will totally be going back for more!
I got a septum piercing here and I cannot express how much I love this place. Everyone seemed so relaxed and happy. Ricky (one of the piercers) was extremely kind and professional. I don’t write reviews, ever...but I wish I could just stay in this shop all day. Thank you so much!!
Ive been here three times once with a friend and twice to get tattoos of my own. and every time it has been absolutely fantastic experience. I have quite a few tattoos from quite a few different shops and most of the time you can expect the normal level of rudeness and drama, but I have never had that experience at fatkid. Every one of those tattoo artists is not only talented but also friendly and helpful. The whole shop is always laughing and theyre really attentive to everything that you need as well as things that you want, but also knowledgeable enough to help you create a tattoo thats going to look fantastic in that youre going to be happy with.They price incredibly fairly, I was happy to actually pay more for what I got considering how fantastic it actually is. So make sure to always tip your artist. So piercings or tattoos honestly theres not many tattoo shops in the San Diego area that are as good as fatkid. I plan on going there much more consistently for any work that I want done.
I was very impressed when I went inside he stop, I had 3 things done. 2 tattoos & a Piercing, I loved the way each thing came out both people ( Marty & rocky ) are super helpful and sweet. I will be coming back and I will be requesting them. Much love.
Went in for some jewelry was greeted by multiple artists all the guys were so sweet and helpful. Will definitely be back and refer people to them. Thank you for making me feel so welcome!
Stevie did my Tattoo. Im 63, this was my first ever Tattoo, this was on my bucket list. Yes it hurt alittle but was just an awesome experience. I have a very unique ladybug design on mywrist and the peace sign behind one ear and another ladybug behind my other ear. Stevie was so awesome and made me feel so comfortable. Um...maybe I will get another one...Thank you so much Stevie! I love all 3 of them!!
Stevie was very efficient and professional. I am very pleased with his level of service and quality of work.
Awesome place! Mike does a great job!!!! Love my tats!
The guy that pierced my septum was super professional and informed me on what he was doing every step of the way super cool guy and it came out super good definitely going back there for all my future piercings
Walked in for a small tattoo the size of a quarter and then charged me the shop minimum($80) which only took 15mins. Had the guy mentioned the amount before he started i would have got something else. Just a heads up for anyone going. Good work but i wont be returning.
Was referred to Stevie by a friend about two years ago. Since then he has almost completed a sleeve, and has retouched some of my other work. His ability to listen to what you want, and freehand your dream is a rare talent. I strongly recommend contacting Stevie and having him do your work. He is a natural talent, and well worth the money you spend. His work is so good he could charge double or triple. If you want cheap crap stencil work, go see your friends friend with a tattoo kit in his kitchen. If you want an impeccable original art piece, set up an appointment with Stevie.
I got my first tattoo from Jason Corona, and he was AMAZING! Everyone else seemed really chill and cool as well! He did a really good job I have no regrets, definitely going back for more tats!
Got my nose pierced today by Rocky and she was really great! She was really comforting, cool, professional, super knowledgeable, and really fast. Ill recommend her to anyone who asks :)
I have received 2 tattoos here 3 years apart. Both were really well done and at a fair price. I am very happy with this place and highly recommend them. I will be getting my future tattoos here.
Fantastic tattoo shop omgoodness! ... all the artists are wicked talented and friendly... Henry worked on our wedding tattoos... we love our tattoos so much were already planning future work fo sho!... forget looking into other locations just go in and talk with them...

She got her nose peirced and was service was kind and curteous. Created a real moment. Thank you.
Lorenzo just hooked me up with a clean, simple Mom in a heart tattoo and I love it! He drew out exactly what I wanted. The whole process was very fast and clean. Ill be coming back for more. Thanks, Lorenzo
Ricky did my septum and he was amazing! Love the way it turned out and he made the process easy to go through! Definitely recommend
Milky does an amazing job! Nice clean professional location... best of all we got squeezed in quick! Thank you so much FKT for helping with our wedding process👍🏼👍🏼
Everyone there are friendly and helpful! I got my tattoo done by Henry and he did amazing! Im so obsessed with it. Im definitely coming back to him for my next one!
Ollie (the piercing guy) was very friendly and knowledgeable about his work. He also fixed my septum piercing after one of the piece fell off
They were great funny made you feel comfortable and welcome ...the owner was great told me the funniest story while he was piercing my belly button.. they were great 10 out of 10
The personality of all of the employees put me at ease! Everyone was so nice, funny and down to earth! They answered all of my questions and never me feel silly for asking! Will 100% be returning!
Recently got pierced by Rocky, and she was very clean, friendly, and experienced!! It was my best experience getting a piercing, and the price was unbelievably good.
Ive gotten both of my tattoos here, and soon to make it three. The guys joke around a lot, but they are really nice and super chill. Also, really clean shop.
All I needed was some replacement jewelry. The guy that helped me was really nice and even did me a few favors. He helped me put the jewelry in and I was on my way in under 5 minutes. Thanks for the help!
Came here to get a nose piercing for my birthday really professional quick easy Will definitely be coming again
Got my septim pierced by a very nice lady. Her name was Rocky I think. She walked me through it and was super kind. Worth it.
Super rude went to check out some prices for piercings and the workers/ owners standing outside completly gave us attitude for no reason. Apparently they thought they were too good to talk to us. Whatever ill take my money somewhere else
Went there to have my forearm done...got hooked up by stevie. Loved the knowledge everyone has in the place...cool shop...and the tattoo is freakin amazing. Nothing bad to say...will recommend fat kid to anyone and everyone.
Man ALL LOVE for FKT Ive gotten most my work from FKT. Every artist there is someone you want behind the gun. Best in San Diego County.
Henry did a fantastic job on my tattoo, I can tell all the guys there really enjoy what they do.
Love this place. Best Tattoo Shop in town. Absolutely love Stevie. And Ricky is an Excellent Piercer. Wouldnt reccommend anywhere else in Esco !
Great experience getting my nose pierced by Ollie last week. Even tho I was running late they really worked with me on still seeing me
Awesome first experience. I came in with one drawing and I told them to make it better he made it ten times better awesome job.... Id recommend anyone to this place
