Eden Tattoo Gallery

My husband and I wanted to get our first tattoos done and Eden came highly recommended to us by a friend. The shop was very clean and friendly. James was absolutely wonderful and provided such a pleasant experience for a first tattoo! He was super friendly and took his time to create exactly what I wanted. He did a magnificent job. We hope to be back and get another one from him next time in SD!

Lani is amazing. I wanted a floral piece on my leg that reminded me of all the flowers in my grandmas garden and she DELIVERED.She is such a fun person to work with and can make your vision come to life. Lani is very professional and confident. I really enjoyed our all day appointment and cant wait to get another piece done by her

Lani Nicole is an absolutely amazing artist! 😍 She will take your idea and run with it and make 100 times more amazing. She always puts your comfort first and makes sure you have enough brakes and you are doing good. I have been going to Lani for a year now, Im going to continue going to her. I get so excited when I have an appointment because I know Im going to have a great time and have an amazing conversation and an amazing tattoo on top of it.

We came in for 3 walk-in tattoos on a Saturday. They were able to help us almost right away. We had a great time there, the shop we clean and we love our tattoos! Highly recommend. :)

Walked in today and had James do a piece on me. After putting some thought into what we wanted to do we decided on doing a some koi swimming around in a yin & yang pattern. It came out beyond wonderful and it’s now my favorite tattoo. Can’t recommend James enough.Thank you!

Lanie is the BEST!!!! She took my vision and made it come to LIFE yall!!!! What started as a scar/tattoo cover up is morphing into a full sleeve with endless possibilities! She is quick, has a light hand and all my my tattoos heal BEAUTIFULLY!!!! She is the ONLY one who Ill let tattoo me 💕 #inlaniewetrust

Mike Sirot, the owner of Eden Tattoos is really cool, and his main goals are that the customers are happy, and that his artists stay busy. I saw an ad in the reader for free tattoo and emailed back to ad. Apparently the Reader was a lil late on the uptake, but I sent a pic of a small watermelon 🍉 tattoo Ive had for @ 25 years. It was all skin color, faded and not very good looking. Anyways Mike emailed me back and took an interest in it, and he fixed it for me pro Bono after he heard my story about my husband passing away last year, and my service dog Id had 10 years was stolen at the same time, and my money is funny now....hes got a real ❤️, and he is all about the customers being happy... fantastic place, 5 stars, go check it out...theyre the best!

James was so accommodating when there were scheduling conflicts. He made the process so enjoyable and took care of our entire group we came in with. He did SUCH a good job and was efficient. Thank you, James! Highly recommend him!

Eden is always the best experience! I cant recommend James enough. His work is fantastic with such detail and unique beauty. He is a true artist and creates an inviting and comfortable atmosphere. Always excited to return!

Lani is wonderful! She makes your ideas a reality and is attentive, comfortable and fun to be tattooed by. Her work is amazing great details.

I got my tattoo from Lani. She really listened to what I wanted. She also gave me her perspective on where it would look better and what colors. Love my new tattoo. 💕💕

James Nelson was the one how gave me my first tattoo ever & I was so awesome especially if i just walked in there with no appointment. I love it. I will definitively come again.

Fantastic owner who really cares that the customers are happy and that his artists stay busy. He responded to an email I sent asking about a free tattoo, apparently the Reader was a little late on the story, but I sent pictures of my tattoo with it and after hearing about my husband dying last year, and my emotional support dog Mr Chewy who I had ten years being stolen... He went ahead and fixed my tattoo on his own time. I cant say enough good things about this place, everything is clean and by the book, and they have some great artists...5+++ stars !

Had an amazing experience with James on Friday. My friend and I were a walk in on a bit of a time crunch, but James was able to fit us in for some floral linework. He was great to chat with, made sure we were comfortable the whole time, and the floral pieces came out perfect. This is my third tattoo from Eden, and I will for sure be going back :)

Lani did an amazing job on my arms. The color pops and the vibe while getting tattooed was outstanding. Will be back soon!

I got a finger tattoo about 2-3 weeks ago. it was beautiful with fresh ink but when it finished healing, it was very clear that the artist went a little light. There are lines that are barely there, making it look blotchy and faded. Now I was warned about finger tattoo’s fading, however it is way too light and too early to be “faded” like this. The tattoo was pretty expensive for something its size, and the artist said he was going to charge for a touch up because it’s a finger tattoo, but otherwise he doesn’t usually charge. Probably will not return to shop for touch up because $300 for a finger tattoo is just too steep for me.Tattoo date was Feb 26 and the more faded picture is today, March 16.

Was looking for a shop that would do walk-ins for me and my friends and went to Eden and James was available and he took what I was looking for added his own little touch and it turned out AMAZING! Definitely will be coming back here and they now have a regular! Also make sure to check them out on Instagram to see their work!

You cannot find a better tattoo parlor than Eden Tattoo Gallery!I have been searching for a tattoo shop for years without success until I came here. Everyone is amazing and exceptionally talented with various specialties.Mike, the owner, is very accommodating with over 30 years of experience and makes you feel as though you are part of the tattoo family, easing any reservations you may have whether it may be a fear of needles or executing that tattoo you have been longing for. He is considerate in your vision, especially with memorial pieces. His strengths are with realism, color, black and white, and anything under the sun. He uses the tattoo machine like a paintbrush on canvas.I have also had personal experience with Zol. She is a new artist that is a loving, bubbly, character with a passion in color works. She’s bold and creative in her own style, especially in details and faces. You can’t go wrong with her works and wide rage of style. She going to be a powerhouse 30 years from now!Each artist here maintains a high respect and regard for the art of tattooing rather than tattooing for the sake of tattooing. Each piece of art is as important to them as it is to you, so if what you’re asking isn’t in their wheelhouse of style, they will recommend another artist in the shop that you may potentially be best suited for.From traditional, realism, romanticism, modern, anime, and much more, you will be blow away from the skills this shop provides at great prices for the quality!The shop itself is unique with an eclectic atmosphere that is clean with the emphasis of everyone’s safety. Overall whether for a first time tattoo or veteran, I most strongly encourage you to stop by Eden Tattoo Gallery.Side note, they are also one of the few tattoo shops that still participate in Friday the 13th deals! Free, pizza, baked goods, and water while waiting in line is a rare find in great customer service!Life long customer here… well until I run out of space lol.

This was an incredible experience. I got my piece done by Zol and she’s crazy talented. She listened to what I wanted during our consult and created an amazing piece. During the 4 hour tattoo she was so friendly and kind. I cannot wait to get another piece find by her. I highly recommend this spot!

James is an amazing artist! He did my first tattoo! My grandfathers handwriting. I was pretty nervous going in but I felt so comfortable and at ease with James. He did an incredible job! That was a month ago and I just got my second tattoo with James yesterday. This one was color realism of two flowers. The vibrancy and detail is amazing! Makes me smile every time I look at them! Cant wait to book another session! You will LOVE Eden Tattoo Gallery!

Bill Kieffer did my second tattoo for me this week. It was perfect again! Bill has the knowledge to make your design better than what you have suggested. Stencil and size and off you go with a beautiful tattoo that means the world to you. Its an everlasting gift from Bill. Thank you again Bill..:)

My sister and I received paired tiny tats from James Nelson. He was so friendly and accommodating to our ideas. The shop is small, but very cute and clean. Would definitely recommend!!

A friend and I went to Eden as walk-ins. We were greeted by James, who was totally game to do a Saturn and moon tattoo for us. Needless to say, we’re obsessed. We gave James pretty minimal details about the design we wanted and he seriously killed this. Absolutely in love with the fine lines and shading. Will for sure be back and deeply appreciate the experience! Thanks! 💕

I am 1000000% blown away by the work James did. I requested a half face portrait of my soul puppy I lost a year ago. I gave him 2 different photos to work with and he absolutely nailed it. I’m in absolute love with my tattoo. James was also incredible to work with - a very positive vibe and aura. I came in with a bachelorette party and all the artists were very accommodating.I highly recommend getting your tattoo done at this shop.

I had the best experience at Eden with my tattoo artist, Kristen! I booked her a few months in advance and sent her a couple of ideas I had for the tattoo. She took the inspiration and ran with it and made an absolutely perfect unique design. I was blown away. My actual tattoo experience was very comfortable, the people were friendly, and I had a blast. HIGHLY recommend this shop and Kristen!!

So my friend and I popped in before 3 to get a fun Friday the 13th tattoo. We had no idea what to expect but the line didn’t seems as long as I expected. We Got in to do paperwork fairly quickly. The rest of the night turned into a block party. The shop actually treated us to pizza in line, which came just in time. I know my friend and me made new friends, and to sustained we visited some local small businesses. If only someone had brought their grill and cooler… we may get in, we may not, but it was nice to get out of the house. Next year I’ll bring a cards table…

I cannot begin to express my love and appreciation for these delightful souls. I was fortunate enough to attend their Friday the 13th tattoo party, and let me tell you, kind reader, they are Angels. Through my wait in line, they distributed pizza, gluten-free baked goods, and beverages. They kept our spirits and enthusiasm high with their generosity and cordial conversation. The tattoo offerings were varied and well priced. What a wonderful experience, and I cannot wait to come back for more!!Edit: I finally got my tattoos a month later after having to leave the event early. They honored the price and I could not be happier with them. Zol is an insanely talented artist and I cant wait to get my next piece!!!

Best experience ever i am SO glad we decided to stop here for friday the 13th!! First time at this shop and never have I been to a tattoo shop that is so caring and kind to their customers. We showed up at 8 in the morning and stuck around in line waiting till 9 at night and the whole eden shop made sure we were taken care of!! The owner personally handed out free pizza, gluten free pastries, water, and came and checked on us in line, even the next door store brought free smoothies over for the whole line! I visited multiple neighboring stores and everyone had nothing but great things to say about the shop and all its employees!! Once our name was called, we got brought in, assigned an artist and got started! I had rebecca and she did an absolutely AMAZING job on my arm tattoos! My boyfriend got Tom and he was phenomenal!! Both rebecca and tom took the time to add some personality to my boyfriend and I’s flash tattoos!! I got to sit with Tom and a few other artists while he finished my boyfriends tattoos and everyone here is so friendly! They make you feel so welcomed and they are such good company, you can tell they love what they do!! I had so many laughs and such great conversations with all of the artists and workers here! such a HUGE shoutout to everyone who helped make the friday the 13th event possible, this event was AMAZING and we truly appreciate you guys so much for all you did today, cannot say thank you enough!! (and of course the tattoos are absolutely AMAZING!!) If you’re looking for a friendly, fun, and comfortable environment definitely stop by here!! amazing staff and amazing tattoos!! you’ll be taken care of for sure! huge shoutout to the owner, you are awesome an awesome little amish leprechaun, thank you for an amazing experience!! THANK YOU EDEN TATTOO🤍🤘🏼

Been here twice now and each time not at all disappointed! The wonderful artist Zol is not only amazing at what she does, she truly cares for her passion and it shows in her work. The place is always welcoming and all staff is friendly. They have so much artwork from their artists all over the shop. No matter who you choose to make your tattoo vision a reality they all will make sure you’re happy with what you get.

I love this place so much me my cousin and my friends were here from 9 AM to 8:30PM waiting in-line for the Friday the 13th sale and not only did the owner walk through the line with water and snacks but he also bought pizza for the entire line. Today was my first tattoo and they made me so incredibly comfortable and excited to get it. I would 100% recommend coming to this tattoo shop thank you so much Mr. Mike

Dalton was the artist for me and a friend. He was very friendly and accommodating. We each wanted a finger tattoo done in white. He made sure we knew that a finger tat doesnt stand the test of time and made sure we had a great clean fun experience. I am from Louisiana and have several tats and this experience was in top 5 by far. Highly recommend this shop and Dalton especially.

Tommy is SUPERB!!! He’s done a few of my tattoos already and I’m in love with them all. He’s super personable, super kind, and just all around great to be tattooed by. The most genuine person I’ve met, and very accommodating and knowledgeable about his craft. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Not even inside and the service they have been providing is astonishing! I mean I don’t even provide myself this great service while I rub it out! They have offered us food, drinks and even cleaned up after us. Again these are things I have to do myself but having strangers do it for me! One can only imagine how they will take care of me once inside 😏. No doubt with the highest level of respect and with great talent.You want to be taken care of? Eden Tattoo is for you. Ooh and what she said ⬇️⬇️

John Blaze is a fantastic artist! I came to him with an idea of a memorial tattoo in a style I was really hoping would work. John created an image I am stoked to have as part of my life. The creativity and execution have made this tattoo occupy a really special place in my heart and it would have never been such a meaningful tattoo without Johns touch. We all love our tattoos, and this one makes me happy every time I see it!

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been coming back every month to get a tattoo from James :) He’s an incredibly talented artist and never fails to provide such a comfortable environment for a great experience.I’ll definitely be coming back for more !!

Went in for my first tattoo, and as imagined, I was pretty nervous. As soon I greeted by Marisol, I instantly felt at home. Had my appointment with Tommy and he walked me though everything. He made sure I was comfortable and kept checking on me throughout inking me. Tommy has a great customer service and a wonderful sense of humor. This is the shop to check out, and make sure to ask for Tommy!

I’ve been gatekeeping this place but I have to stop. Tommy is legit the best. I’ve never gone back to an artist except for him. He’s always down for what ideas you have. And none of the guys in this shop make you feel uncomfortable (girls IYKYK)

1st time there and Trevor was An Amazing Artist. He was very polite and kind and will talk to you just like your old friends. I will be returning for my future tatoo needs and everyone who worked at the shop were also nice.

Got a custom design by Tommy today. Not only was the design perfect but he also has a great touch with the gun that it was very painless. Had a friend come in and get inked by Mike today also and it was great to hang out and watch his beautiful work. Cant wait to go back!

Hands down the best Tattoo Shop in San Diego. I personally get my tattoos done by Matty and recommend all my friends to him. He is funny and easy going and such a calming presence for newbies which I really appreciate since even though I have more than one tattoo at this point I still get nervous right before. He is honest and a true artist who cares about the work he is doing and the person he is doing it on and from the short interactions I have had with others in the shop this attitude is a company trait. The shop itself is quaint with good music and so sterile and clean someone could probably eat off the floor. This place is a real gem and if you are looking for quality work and intelligent, knowledgeable and just downright good tattoo artists in San Diego, look no further than Eden. :)

Best tattoo shop around! Mike Sirot Tattoo is so talented, I will not go anywhere else. Everyone in the shop is so nice and the talent of all the artists is amazing. Go check them out!!

The tattoo shop was sooooooo welcoming towards my dad and I. I love my tattoo, it came out clean af all thanks to Dalton. He really made me feel safe and relaxed. I have social anxiety, but once I got on the tattooing chair he really made my anxiousness and fear melted away by walking me through the process. He also got my mind off of things by having a conversation with me. I definitely recommend the shop. The shop greets you with a big smile and has a comforting atmosphere.

Ever gotten a tattoo from an Amish leprechaun? No? Well come on down to Eden Tattoo Gallery! Froze my d*ck off in line and papa Smurf himself reattached it free of charge! 9/10 tattoos, 10/10 happy endings. Definitely will cum again!!

The artist here are amazing and very talented! Go experience for yourself. They have the most welcoming sign out front for those who are walk-ins without an appointment. Great job Tommy and team! JLuv

Dalton is an awesome dude. Super down to earth. He is an upcoming tat artist at the shop. Had a tattoo I started years ago and he did me the huge favor of getting it almost completed. Really sanitary and follow covid-19 guidelines. They have different artists there with different specialists. Check it out for yourselves! I highly recommend coming here!

Got my first tattoo here and I absolutely love it, couldnt be happier. Mike gave me a great first experience and I wouldnt change a thing about it. From the atmosphere to the staff everything was fun and interesting, couldnt ask for a better experience. Would 100% recommend to anybody looking for a good tattoo artist and a good experience.

Came for a Friday the 13th tattoo and my first tattoo. The staff was very personable. My artist, Mike, made me feel very comfortable and was extremely meticulous with the tattoos design and color. Would recommend this place to a first timer or a vet.

Eden Tattoo is by far the best shop in San Diego. Matty did my tattoo, and helped me have the best first tattoo experience I couldve had. He was incredibly comforting despite my nerves, and the tattoo turned out beautiful! He was patient and so incredibly helpful. I HIGHLY recommend this shop, and ask for Matty!

The artist Maddy is not only extremely friendly but a fantastic artist. He took the extra time to fill out every detail of both of my tattoos to make them look perfect! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a great tattoo!

The shop is clean. The people are very friendly. My artist Becci was fantastic. She has great line and shading technique. She is detailed oriented and asks questions to ensure the client gets what they are wanting. She also listens to the client’s ideas and is able to put them down on her artwork. The shop answers email requests in a timely manner. Great prices. I love my new artwork. Can’t wait to get another tattoo from Becci.

“sometimes its the journey that teaches you about the destination”- drakedearest reader,i hope this letter finds you well. in the most trying of times (friday the 13th), one wonders if they shant stumble upon a chamber to get yatted up. finding yourself at eden tattoo, being served a creme friache flatbread paired with a buttery, sweetened choux, compliments to artists noah and mike. you embark on what praytell could be a fourscore hour line. while patience surely tested, in these desperate minutes, service and community is championed. ink pioneers pride off of professionalism and artistry. my bosom grieves for the ache of another needle. and it wasnt until then we truly knew what drake meant.deepest regards and good luck,evelyn and kate

This place is great. James Nelson did mine and it looks awesome

Dalton was such a great guy, he gave me my first tattoo and couldnt have been more professional. Everyone here was very personable and fun to talk to. I will be back!

Was able to get a quick piece done here by Dalton on short notice. Was in town for a couple of days and he fit me into his schedule without any drama. He did good work, was friendly, and it was at a fair price

Matty and Becci were stellar! My mother and I came in for tattoos and the atmosphere they created was incredibly relaxed and welcoming. The tattoos themselves were beautifully done and easy to get through

Long over due, but I had a sleeve done about a year ago, Mike Sirot did a fantastic job, truly an amazing artist and he was definitely able to capture what it was that I wanted for my sleeve.

I feel like I’m being tattooed at Olive Garden, because when you’re at Eden your family. Come for the breadsticks stay for the tattoos.Better people, better tattoos.. papa John’s

Incredible service. Professional and friendly. They all definitely enjoy working there. Made me feel comfortable.

I drove down from Los Angeles to get my work done at Eden. Because of the attention to detail that is a result of all the time spent refining the skill. All of the artists at Eden are actual artists with a studied skill in design and composition.

Mike Sirot is the best. He has done all my work and Im so incredibly lucky to have been tattooed by him for the past 20 years.

The owner very accommodating .he set me up with the most easy guy to work with .it was my first tat and he had everything ready took charge gracefully and off he went it took couple hrs and I was done .already lots off compliments .the tat artist Trevor Tipper

Excellent experience! Got my first tattoo, here, today!

The owner Mike did and amazing tattoo on me and my dad and it turned out great.

The experience was amazing the artist and people that work in the ship was super nice 💚💜A perfect place to get some ink in your skin

Nice and welcoming tattoo shop. I got 2 pieces done there so far from Trevor. Will be returning

Chelsea made our experience so perfect...super sweet and patient. Thank you so much!! Love our tattoos!!

Chelsea was amazing. Her work is extraordinary and inpecable. Will definitely recommend her!

I don’t work 8 hr shifts, but I’ll wait 12 hrs for a tattoo.

Rebecca is awesome. Great, great artist. Couldnt be happier.

Ask for Matty so far so happy with my tatts done my him. Place looks professional and chill too.
