Mariana is awesome, this is the 3rd tattoo I received from her. She is very accommodating, flexible, and meticulous with her work. I went to her for my very first tattoo and she made my experience extremely pleasant. She is great at what she does and very friendly and personable. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. I can’t recommend her enough, you will not be disappointed with her work and professionalism.
Most amazing experience ever. Especially it being my first tattoo. Mariana and Ronaldo really put the Family in Family Business Tattoo. Ron hooked me up with the most amazing piece of art while I enjoyed the coolest session. Look forward to going back!
100% recommend Family Business Tattoo San Diego! I came in to get my back done, the entire back! I came with a list of things that were important to me in my life, then let Mariana come up with a back piece that incorporated all of my items. Of course, she knocked it out of the park! I am 5 sessions in with one to go. Each time I come in, I am more and more amazed at her attention to detail! She takes her time, doesn’t rush, and the tattoo reflects that patience!My advice to you is this: come in with a mindset that Mariana is a true professional artist, she knows what will look good things that will not. Give her your trust, and she can create a masterpiece!!
I had three tattoos completed here. Including my first ever tattoo which was a full arm sleeve. Ronaldo and Mariana have both been awesome each and every time. Ronaldo is a great artist and a true professional. I will be coming back for more work!
Carrie is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I flew in from TX just to get work done by her and she exceeded all expectations. Her personality is a 10 and the vibes in the shop are so down to earth. Will 100% recommend everyone to her. Check her out on IG as well tattoos_by_carrie
Mariana was very attentive from the start. She was very responsive from the first point of contact and really nailed what I was looking for. The vibe between everyone in the shop was very endearing. Everyone seems to mesh well together in the shop. It is a very laid back and friendly vibe. Even prior to choosing an artist I had trouble because while everyone has their own style, they all have incredible skill. However, I was looking for an ornamental tattoo and from what I saw. It seems that Mariana and Carrie are very skilled in that. No matter what you’re looking for, this is the place. Family Business Tattoo has very attentive, approachable, and professional artists that will ensure you are happy with the final results and that you are comfortable throughout the entire process. Pricing is fair. What you get is what you pay for and I would never dare cheap out on a tattoo. These guys are quality so in turn you pay for just that and it was worth every penny for me. Ive been to a few shops in SD already and these guys are definitely on the top of my list. I can’t wait to go back and finish up my sleeve ☺️
My experience at Family Business Tattoo was truly enjoyable. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, creating a relaxed environment where everyone felt at ease. Despite the chill vibe, professionalism was evident throughout, with staff members maintaining a friendly yet focused demeanor. It was refreshing to see artists engaging with clients, chatting and laughing while still delivering top-notch service. The positive energy in the studio added to the overall experience, making it a memorable visit. I appreciated the balance between a fun, social atmosphere and the serious, professional approach to tattooing.
When I say I will not be going anywhere else, I mean it. By far the best tattoo experience I’ve had (I don’t have many) but they have set the bar high. From the very first impression, they made me feel so at home and welcomed. Their space is so cozy and chill and everyone is so polite and sweet. They answered all my questions and concerns and made me comfortable. Carrie redeemed my previous bad tattoo experience. She’s extremely talented and exceeded my expectations. My tattoo turned out way better than I expected and before I left the shop, I scheduled my next appointment with her. I’m so excited to start and finish my sleeve. I can’t wait to come back!!!Keep it up guys!! All of you are amazing!!! Thank you for everything so far!
My tattoo came out amazing my artist was quick, helpful, friendly, and professional even though my fiance and her friend were a little tipsy lol. It was my first tattoo experience and it couldn’t have gone better. On top of all that the price was super reasonable for both me and my finances tattoo. On top of all of that they opened on a day they are not normally open just to fit us in. 10/10 experience.
Bobbi was absolutely incredible! I just lost my greyhound, Mila, she passed away a couple days ago and I’ve been in so much pain. I knew I needed to have her on me forever. When I walked into this tattoo shop I was pretty emotional and Bobbi was the perfect person for the job. Not just her but everyone in the shop felt like family. They were so supportive and kind. Bobbi started on my sketches right away and sent them to me that night. I cried…they were all so beautiful. The entire experience was exactly what my heart needed. I have a gorgeous tattoo to forever remember my Angel. I cannot thank you all enough!
Best tattoo shop i’ve been to, i love all the artists but i always go to mariana. she has done 4 of my tattoos & pierced my belly button & nose. i love her work and all the artists are friendly and open to your creative ideas. the whole atmosphere is comfortable, clean and professional. highly, highly recommend !! i love it here & will never get tattooed or pierced anywhere else
He did an amazing job on my tattoo. Drew it up himself and the pricing was very reasonable! If Im ever in Cali again Ill be coming back!!!
This shop is well rated for a reason, I showed up on the summer solstice around the time they opened with my wife, my 2 oldest children and my grandson, and they re-arranged there schedule (and shop) to accommodate. We all recieved tattoos (including a temporary tattoo for my grandson) from Bobbi and Mariana, who were both very wonderful, calming, assuring, and professional. The price was right on point and being the last day of our family vacation before heading back to Las Vegas they made it memorable and special. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know. Thank-you again for everything.
Mariana and Ronaldo were awesome! So accommodating and friendly and we love our matching tats! It was so special to have another married couple do our tattoos. Would highly recommend you choose them for all your tattoo and piercing needs
Hands down one of the best shops I’ve ever been too! Bobbi made the entire experience comfortable, and was professional, prepared, and extremely friendly! Her and the entire staff there at Family Business tattoo were super rad. I’ll definitely be back and sooner than later!
Highly recommend this studio! Very talented artists, pleasant environment, professional and caring. Mariana brought an artistic vision to life incorporating existing tattoos
Bobbi made my first tattoo experience easy and fun. She took time to go through different design iterations with me to make sure I loved it. I was nervous but she made me feel comfy and at home, and distracted me with funny conversations for the 30-minute session. Thank you Bobbi!
All artists here are friendly and welcoming. I have been working with Mariana on a full sleeve that is nearly completed. We worked together on a great design and the quality of her work is impeccable. I have seen quite a few tattoos completed by the other artists in the many hours I have spent here, and all were of impressive quality. Would recommend Family Business Tattoo for anything from small intricate pieces to big bold ones.
Bobbi is hands down the best tattoo artist I have ever experienced! She is so sweet and soooo very talented. I have gotten multiple tattoos from her, and I just keep coming back! Obsessed with her work. You will be, too!
I came here not knowing what to expect as it was my first tattoo but that quickly faded as Mariana is a great artist. I got exactly what i wanted, and felt right at home will definitely be coming again.
I genuinely look forward to my tattoo sessions with Mariana, she is very kind and so talented! Family business tattoo has a clean, friendly, fun and relaxing atmosphere.
Love it here, super friendly and very family oriented true to its name. Comfortable atmosphere so comfortable if any sensation of pain when getting Ink is minimal.!!! 😊😍😊 will be back here for sure and very happy with my tattoo.!!
Absolutely loved the vibe and how friendly everyone was. Mariana’s was very nice and professional. She did fantastic work! Definitely going again!
I have gotten two tattoos here and a few piercings. I love the family atmosphere! I highly suggest for people of all ages, fair pricing as well.
I will come back to Family Business Tattoo to get every tattoo done from now on, forever. Carrie designed my sleeve and Im so incredibly in love with it. She is so talented, efficient, patient, and attentive. I sat with her for a total of 10 and a half hours and Im so grateful for every second. Her expertise got me to exactly where I want with my sleeve and her consistent and absolutely crispy clean line work will keep me coming back and referring everyone I know to this shop! There are several artists who I saw complete tattoos while I was there, you cannot miss with any of the artists they are all so incredibly talented with different styles so you can almost guarantee you will find your artist match. WE LOVE FBT!
Fantastic group of people, very professional, and super Duper talented. Fixed my botched tattoo from Hawaii last year and added two beautiful butterflies.
Me and my girlfriend loved the ambience, they have such a great service! Charismatic people and we had so much fun besides getting our tattoos done! Thank you so much Family Business Tattoo SD.
Came on a whim to get Friday the 13 tattoos and was not disappointed! Not only were the designs (and prices) incredible but ALL of the staff was terrific. They were very friendly and helpful, had snacks, water and chairs out for people to wait.Best of all was Mariana, who put an amazing peony on my leg. She made sure I was comfortable, liked the placement, even got on the floor TO DO the placement. I couldnt be an happier with my experience
Want your first tattoo or just to add to your collection? This is definitely the place to go!! I am amazed how easy and painless this was for me to receive my FIRST tattoo. I am from Oregon and was only visiting briefly, but Mariana was able to get me in right away and was also very quick to respond to my initial inquiry. I most definitely recommend this place! All the artists seem amazing and passionate in what they do, you will not be disappointed no matter what.. however, Mariana will especially not let you down! She was attentive and made me feel extremely comfortable! I love this place and definitely plan to continue coming here for future ink.
Awesome experience and got exactly what I asked for at a good price. Experience was super relaxing I ended up taking a nap 😄 *update*: just got another tat the other night and was worth it to go back again. They’re very welcoming and down to earth. Good prices and worth the booking. Highly recommend this place to everyone I meet considering getting a tattoo
This place is awesome and their work is too! If youre looking to get a tattoo I HIGHLY recommend going here!! Had a cover up done and Im so happy with how it came out!! Ill be going back for all my future tattoos for sure!!!
Great vibe and location. Staff was engaging, a good feel in the space overall. They sat me down as a walk in. Yassir was my artist. He is extremely talented, and has a good hand… hardly felt a thing. Actually a pretty freaking relaxing experience. I’m thinking I really don’t want to go anywhere else, which is something since I live 3,000 miles away.
I got my first tattoo on my back, at Family business Tattoo with the artist Mariana and she is amazing, and everyone there is wonderful, super welcoming and friendly and made you feel as comfortable as possible inside the studio and the studio is so clean, I highly recommend it and I would give much more than five stars!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mariana to have her add to an existing tattoo on my forearm. I wanted her to add some color and feminize it a little bit, to make it some thing that brought me joy and is a reminder of my journey in life. She also added a small tattoo of a lotus on my wrist. I absolutely love my lotus and the existing forearm tattoo is now so pretty and brings me a smile every time I look down at my forearm. Mariana took her time and explained everything to me, drew up some artwork for me to approve prior to beginning the tattoo and made sure I was satisfied with the placement. After the stencil was applied for the lotus we moved it around and she made sure I was going to be happy with the placement. Mariana communicated with me every step of the way, from the time I initially reached out, to the consultation, and then to confirm our appointment. She’s very friendly and engaging and relaxed, and the shop is organized and clean. Thank you, Mariana and Family Business Tattoo!
I was traveling to San Diego from New York for vacation.I researched Family Business Tattoo after seeing some of their work. I booked an appointment and am so happy with my Tattoo. Great atmosphere, talented artists, and amazing work. Highly recommend! Mariana is amazing and I will definitely be back.
Such an amazing place!! Everyone who works there does such amazing art and are all so incredibly talented! Carrie did my tattoo and did absolutely AMAZING 😍
Family Business Tattoo provided one of the best tattooing experiences I’ve had. Mariana was professional, crazy talented and had a light touch with the inking gun. My tattoo is beautiful and I could not be happier. I’ll definitely be going back for my next tattoo!
I got this done by yassertattoos the experience was great it came out really nice the detail on it is insane I would definitely recommend him if you need any portraits/work done.
PHIL IS THE BEST! I didnt think I would ever say this but, THANK GOD FOR TARGETED ADS! I had looked at a couple shops around town online. Then Phils reels came through my feed in ad and his work peeked my interest. I had an old ugly faded tribal from 1998. After checking out more of his work I sent a message. Didnt take long and he replied and asked me to come on in and have a consultation. I gave him a vague idea of what kind of coverup I was looking for. A week later he had a custom piece that blew my mind. He nailed what I didnt even know I wanted! The shop is clean and inviting. Along with the crew working away. 2 sessions later I have a Fn master piece (to me) on my back covering that old nasty 90s tribal. I am SO happy with the work. I will be returning for more! Muito obrigado!!!!
Luisa did an animal sleeve for me and absolutely crushed it! It looks amazing. 100% plan on getting plenty more tattoos from her. The professionalism from all of the artists in this shop is second to none. They are all very welcoming and I have seen work by all of them, and they all do an amazing job. I would highly recommend this shop to every single one of my friends! 🤘
Had the best experience at Family Business Tattoo San Diego! I scheduled a piercing with Mariana and am so happy with how it turned out. They have a clean shop and great environment - would definitely recommend and plan to return!!
Luisa is hands down one of the best artist I’ve ever had. She didn’t make fun of me very much, 😂, 5/5 this will be my normal shop since moving here
Mariana was so amazing! This was my first tattoo and she made sure I was super comfortable and relaxed. Truly amazing person and artist. The service was top tier. I will be coming back for future tattoos!
I got a tattoo with Mariana. She was able to fit my tattoo in really quickly. The place was clean, organized, and professional. All of the artists who work there have their own style but are all so incredible. My tattoo was exactly how I wanted it. Mariana checked in with me periodically through the session to make sure I was alright. It was a great experience overall and I plan to go back again for future tattoos.
Had so much fun getting my tattoo here! They are so much fun and do great work! I had a little one done but his attention to detail and what I wanted was amazing! Thank you so much!
Awesome service and really great artist, Bobbi is funny and easy going and help s make this an overall great experience!
Carrie is the sweetest! Everyone is super friendly, hospitable and super talented. Carrie gave me one of the sickest tattoos I have (a calf sleeve) and it was rad chatting it up. Will def come back. If you want to see my sleeve check out her insta @tattoos_by_carrie
Yasser did a great job of designing my tattoo and applying it to my skin. It wasn’t until the tattoo was done that he charged me $100 more than he quoted me. He leaned in and lowered his voice and I should’ve made him write the total down. My mistake cost me $100 and him a tip
I highly recommend this shop! Mariana is so talented and kind. I wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate the 1 year anniversary of something in my life. I took in a drawing that was something like what I wanted and Mariana took it and made it PERFECT - even better than what I expected. Im so happy with the tattoo. She gave good instructions for aftercare and the tattoo has healed perfectly. The atmosphere in the shop is calming and kind and friendly. You go in as a customer and leave as a friend. Great people, great work!
Such a good place to go for a tattoo! They’re very friendly, professional, and the work they do is incredible. I’ve gone to Mariana for all my tattoos. She’s very patient when you need a break, they always have snacks and drinks on hand for you too! Would highly recommend :)
If your looking to get some ink done. Look no further. This place is clean and up to standards. I got multiple work done by Mariana! She is friendly and professional. She is responsive to my questions.-Channly
Mariana is literally amazing and wonderful, she has started my sleeve and I’m already so in love. She brought ever idea to life and I bawled when she finished the first half. Hands down this place is exactly what their title entails- family. There passion and work is amazing.😻
I was lucky to come across these guys while visiting San Diego. First of all, extremely professional and welcoming! The owner has 20+ years of experience and remains humble, eliminating any room for complacency.I reached out to Family Business Tattoo via website and email, I was surprised on how quickly they got back to me. I was able to submit my art and get an appointment in about 4 days. I have experienced nightmares from other tattoo parlors on appointment setting alone! Their process is efficient and effective.The owner welcomed me into his shop like it was his home, offered me coffee, food, water, etc. Aside from his art, he prioritized the comfort of his customers which is a big plus. If I wasn’t getting a tattoo I would think I was in a spa. He shared many stories about Brazil and gave me some great food recommendations! Not only did I leave with a tattoo that I was 100% happy with, I left with some history and knowledge of Brazil to include their legendary food! I went straight to Brazil by the Bay after my appointment.I would 100% recommend Family Business Tattoo San Diego, I wouldn’t go to any other tattoo parlor, and any time I’m in town I will gladly stop by even if it’s to just say hello.
Mariana’s fine lines and color are stunning. I worked with her on a custom piece for my side body. I had an idea but not a full picture of what I wanted and she worked with me in person and over email on the art until I was fully satisfied with the drawing. She created a safe and friendly environment during our first 6.5 hours of tattooing. The tattoo came out amazing, I’ve already gotten many compliments, can’t wait to finish the final touches!
Absolute best tattoo parlor Ive been to. Kindest, most talented crew you could imagine. HIGHLY recommend. Stunning fine line pieces. Family Business Tattoo is my forever home for tattoos!
High quality tattoo and an even better experience, highly recommend. Ronaldo did it for me it was amazing.
Love walking into a business and immediately feeling welcomed. Working on my 3rd tattoo from Mariana who always does outstanding work. All the artists there have incredible talent and make sure their customers get quality work at a fair price. Mariana is thorough, detail oriented and such a pleasure to work with. I just love the vibe of the whole shop, the artists and its cleanliness. They even provide water, coffee & snacks since were all usually there for hours at a time! I have referred other people and will continue to do so as Family Business Tattoo deserves all the love and praise a business should get. Cant wait for more work done!!!
Mariana is incredibly talented! She was kind enough to fit me into her busy schedule last minute, as I was traveling through town, and I’m so glad it worked out. My new shoulder piece is SO beautiful and healing nicely. Definitely plan to go to her again if I’m ever back in the area. Can’t recommend her enough!
Outstanding. Got my first few tattoos with Mariana last week and I am blown away. I had several bad experiences trying to find a good shop/artist and Family Business was the absolute right answer. Fast and friendly communication, very nice vibes and in a cool part of OB. Just took the tape off and I am more pleased than I could have imagined. I will be back. So grateful, Mariana. Obrigada.
Was recommended this spot by a friend and Im glad I listened to her... I had a vision of what I wanted to get done and a sample design and the guy understood it and executed it to perfection and more... honestly it turned out so much better that I had thought... would recommend this place to anyone whos planning on getting a tattoo... Infact I might go back for some minor updates to my other tattoo...
Great shop! Everyone was so nice and friendly. Mariana did our matching best friend tattoos and did and amazing job! I love my blue butterfly so much ❤️ Highly recommend checking this place out!
The whole shop is very family oriented and warm, not like the normal, stereotypical tattoo shops. Every artist there does great work! Carrie did a phenomenal job on the first part of my sleeve, can’t wait to go back to see what else she comes up with!
I absolutely LOVE this shop! First of all of the people there are extremely nice and the shop itself has such an awesome feel about it. We were in San Diego for a vacation from Arizona and just stopped in and I met Fellipe who touched up my tattoo I had and added something that was very special to me that I wanted for years. In my eyes it was perfection! We will definitely make this an annual visit when we come back next summer!
This shop holds themselves to the highest standard iv seen in the tattoo industry. The shop is clean the artists are always working away on art or actually tattooing. Ronaldo was great from design to final touch up. I would recommend this shop to anyone and will be returning for more work in the future.
Clean studio, friendly staff. This first tattoo was a gift for my son’s 18th birthday. Carrie was exceptionally impressive - she worked with my son to arrive at a design he liked and she knew would look good in the location he wanted. Overall, we were both pleased with the experience, and will be back!
Well, I had a design in mind and Mariana executed and engraved on my arm fabulously.They are a bunch of professional working together and know their jobs with precision and also gives Right advice when asked for.I will definitely recommend and will go to them for my next tattoo.The place is at a good spot and so is the ambiance.A shout out to themHurrah. 😊😊😊
I wanted a spur of the moment tattoo one morning so I went to Family Business Tattoo San Diego because I loved their work that I saw on Yelp. I went in and the environment inside was so great. The artist Daniel was able to take my ideas and draw a wonderful sketch. I was so excited when I saw it because it was EXACTLY what I didn’t know I needed! It was my first time getting a tattoo and he explained and walked me through all of the process. Super talented and nice guy. The fun atmosphere made it a great experience and I love my tattoo! Will definitely go back.
Prices are great: very reasonable. For the price that you pay you get a very detailed piece. The atmosphere at the tattoo shop is absolutely wonderful: both Mariana and her husband are very welcoming people. They offer heart to heart hospitality to ensure comfort. Mariana asked me several times if I wanted anything to drink and gave me a pillow regardless if I was too shy to ask. Mariana and her husband are very passionate about perfecting the piece that you want and take their time placing it in a picture-perfect area. I wasn’t sure exactly how I wanted to place my quarter sleeve, however Mariana knew just exactly what and where each piece of my tattoo should go to let it flow. I can’t wait to come back for another one!
Mariana was lovely. Very responsive from the initial outreach. She was open to feedback and very kind. The shop is friendly and inviting. Great experience and would definitely go back!
Absolutely loved this tattoo parlor! Family oriented and a very homey feel to it. Artists are willing to hear what you have to say and want you to be satisfied with your tattoo! I loved mine and definitely will be coming back.
I did my tattoo with Mariana and shes amazing! Shes the artist that I was looking for to make my tattoo. The place is very cozy and clean. The staff is super friendly. Id definitely come back for more tattoos and recommend it to my friends for sure!
I had such a wonderful tattoo experience here! Ronaldo and Marina are so friendly and kind and really take the time to make you feel comfortable and ensure that the art going onto your body is something you love. You can tell that they’re really passionate about the creative process and about creating community and trust - they value the art and their clients over just looking for profit. They’re incredibly talented artists and have such an eye for detail and precision. The space is also incredibly clean and organized. I will definitely be coming back here! Much love!! - Kat
I definitely recommend this shop in San Diegos Ocean Beach! Outstanding in all aspects. Clean, friendly, reassuring, professional, safe, all with very talented tattoo artists/piercers. Mariana and Ronaldo elevate the shop and genuinely take interest in us customers. I had been referred to this place from a friend and now have multiple piercings and tattoos that I absolutely am in love with. Please do not hesitate in checking this shop out, you will not regret it.
I went into Family Business Tattoo having only seen their Instagram, I was really impressed by the variety of tattoos they were doing, all the styles and the general quality of them. Let me say, I don’t think the photos do the artwork justice. I got a stunning fern done on my forearm, about 8 inches long. It’s flawless, the shading, the lines, everything about it. It’s my favorite tattoo I’ve ever gotten. Not to mention it only took 45 minutes.I wholeheartedly trust the owners and their abilities. They’re so sweet and so talented. The shop is really clean, their personalities really shine through in the decor.Overall, very professional, wonderful work, fair prices. Phenomenal owners, fantastic shop
You are starting to look handsome with all these tattoos. These words are always said when i come by and visit the shop. Ronnie is my first and still to this day the only tattoo artist that i will go to for anything. Mariana always welcoming in and trying to persuade me on getting my whole back done cracks me up every time. These two souls have made my journey of getting tattoos exciting, fun and they are family. Family vibes and warm atmosphere is essential to create that strong relationship between artist and person. This shop has that and more to make sure you are receiving the best experience! Highly recommend everyone to stop by and get your ideas brought to life with this dynamic duo family business!
I’ve gone to Family Buisness Tattoo more than once (for a nose piercing and tattoos), 10/10 the best place to go for tattoos, piercing, and everything surrounding!! I got two tattoos done on the same day (my first tattoos ever shall I add) and it was honestly amazing!! Ms.Mariana did my tattoo work and it came out terrific, I experienced little to no pain and the aura of the place was just hands down awesome. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get my tattoos as well as piercings. I had the same experience with the piercing- little to no pain and the place is just beautiful. All around all the artists are professional and very talented as well as very kind.
Mariana tattooed me at Family Businesss Tattoo and I was not disappointed! She exceeded all of my expectations. She is so lovely, calming, and amazing at what she does. the whole time she was checking in on me, asking if I needed water, coffee or chocolate!!😂 the whole vibe of the shop is wholesome and her husband is great too. I love the piece she did for me on my forearm. I told her what I had in mind and she designed the piece perfectly and is a fast worker!! I have a hard time sitting still but she had no problem with that and did a beautiful piece. My bf has been tattooed by her too and loves it. We will always go back. A laid back environment that you can trust!
Best experience and most talented tattoo artist! Would fly from Michigan just to have more done here! Artist were so kind and would recommend to everyone!!
Carrie did a floral/geometric piece for me and it is AMAZING!!! I laid out what I was thinking beforehand and when I came in the design she had made was amazing, I loved it, and she was super receptive to tweaks to size/add ons. In total it took maybe 3hrs and we took some breaks so her hand didn’t cramp but she did a ton of detail and shading in that time. It’s healing beautifully and I will definitely be going back for some more with Carrie!!!
This is definitely the best tattoo shop in San Diego. It’s a young mom and pop shop so the the quality of service and professionalism you will receive is top notch. I’ve personally received tattoos from both artists and can proudly say I am extremely happy with the work I had done. If you’re looking to get work done that you can proudly wear forever. This is the place to go. You’re in great hands and will be taken care of. Thank you so much guys!
Carrie is amazing! Her work is so intricate and detailed and she’s crazy fast too! Everyone there is so friendly and inviting. Super cool shop for sure. I don’t plan on going to anyone else for my tattoos!
The best piercing experience Ive had. Mariana made me feel so comfortable and was very honest with me about the piercing I wanted and what would work best for my anatomy. Perfect jewelry selection as well.
Mariana was great. Worked amazingly with what I gave her for an idea and place/made it perfectly. Definitely going again for my next tattoo
I just finished my chest piece with Deanna, who is talented, creative, and equipped with the hands of an angel! My first session with her took 6 hours and it was like a spa day 😌 The energy amongst the shop is very wholesome, emphasizing the essence of its name Family Business. All artists were very professional, and the waiting area as well as the tattoo stations were well kept. AND the secondskin bandage they apply after is a game changer for the healing process 🙌 I would highly recommend this business for your tattoo and piercing services if youre in San Diego 🙂
Carrie did an absolutely amazing job my my tattoos! She was so friendly and professional, and really allowed me to feel comfortable throughout the process. 10/10 will be going back for my next ones!
Everyone was so kind and gentle. It was my first tattoo and I really enjoyed the atmosphere! Every employee was talkative and cool! With my 18 years I felt just right in the best place. But also older people would feel comfortable there. So they do a really good Job. If I would not be from Germany, I would come more often to you guys!
Very clean and nice worked with me and my design. I will definitely be back for more work and a very comfortable environment. People very nice my artist Philly was amazing artist good work and great lines I have found my new tattoo artist
We were in San Diego for vacation and randomly decided to get tattoos. We called and they accepted walk ins. They are amazing and very friendly. If your in the San Diego area I highly recommend them for a tattoo. When ever we are back in town we will definitely go back to see them. We absolutely love our new tattoos. Thank you!
Best tattoo shop in SD!! Come here if you want a tattoo. Every time I come to this shop I have a good time and I leave with amazing art on my body!
I met Ronnie through SD Tattoo and he did some great work. Found out later than he ended up opening his own shop. I went back for another two tattoos and also to see the new shop. He’s an amazing artist with fair prices for how good his work is. The shop is very clean and everyone there is friendly. I will definitely be going back again to start my sleeve!
My experience was amazing! Mari did an amazing job and I’ll be returning to get a new piecing and more tattoos with her soon! I get a lot of compliments for my tattoos. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first contacted her and now I’m sure she’ll be my tattoo artist forever 😍
The artists were incredibly nice. My tattoo artist was amazing, she delivered exactly what we asked for in a matching tattoo & helped design it to make it more unique. Very satisfied with the service provided to us.
Mariana did an amazing dragonfly tattoo for me. It was perfect. I gave her an idea and she put it down on paper at first and it was exactly what I had wanted. I have also used her for a smaller tattoo and that was amazing as well. I definitely recommend this establishment. They are kind, helpful and accommodating and they make you very comfortable.
Mariana was so kind and accommodating, I got a piercing from her and a tattoo. Both of my experiences at Family Business Tattoo were amazing and she made me feel very comfortable. 10/10, I would definitely recommend Mariana and her shop to anyone looking for a tattoo or a piercing.
Got my very first tattoo by Mariana and it was on my ribs. She was very patient and let me take breaks whenever I needed. She was also patient in the drawing process and made changes for me. If I get another tattoo in the future I will definitely be going back. The shop was very welcoming and made it fun.
Mariana is a great tattoo artist. She makes great recommendations to the design and placements where they make sense. My wife and I will now only have Mariana work on our tattoos. She is awesome to work with.
My daughter and I had matching tatoos done at Family Business Tatoo for her 18th Birthday! It was the first time for both of us and Marianna made sure we were comfortable and informed of the process before proceeding. Its been over a week now after our session and we are more than pleased with the outcome!
Went as a walk-in and they took me in right away, they were very friendly and made the overall experience comfortable and amazing. I was able to get two tattoos done. Great quality tattoos with reasonable prices. They were very professional and I couldn’t have asked for a better first tattoo experience!
I got my first tattoo with Mariana, she did an amazing job!! Family Business Tattoo is going to be my family’s go-to place for tattoos! Clean studio, talented artists, and kind people! :)
I came back to get a second Tatoo and like again it was the best experience ever. Mariana did an excellent job again, the tattoo shop is was clean, professional, and all the above. Will be definitely be coming again for more tattoos, thank you family business tattoo.
I got by far my best tattoo here:) Deanna did mine and it is next level. The shop was so clean and the vibe was lovely. It was the best experience I’ve had getting a tattoo because of the professional attitude, they work with you, make sure it’s perfect before you start. Not your typical shop
Mariana and her husband Ronaldo run an amazing shop! They are so warm and welcoming, but most importantly extremely talented artists. They have years of experience under their belts and it shows, both in customer service and especially the work they do. I’m so glad that I found them, this is my go to shop for all my tattoo/piercing needs- and I’ll be sending all my friends here too!
Mariana is an amazing artist and brought my idea to life! I won’t go anywhere else! All of the artists are amazing and the family vibe is fun and awesome.
I could not have asked for a better experience for my first tattoo! I provided an example of what I wanted and my artist executed it perfectly. The artists were all welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be going back for my next tattoo. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the San Diego area!
Marianna is the BEST!! I fly to her from the east coast for all of my fine line tattoos and wouldn’t go anywhere else! The shop is super chill, very clean, and the owners are extremely nice
I found Mariana’s work on IG and loved it. She was able to book my appt within 2 weeks & did an amazing job. The shop is very clean & welcoming, Mariana is very professional, kind & quick. I will definitely refer her & this shop.
Very professional, sterile environment, friendly people and Im so pleasantly surprised by how good my tattoos came. Especially one thats in script--I expected it to come fine but its like perfect like my arm was printed out by a computer. They care a lot for their customers and very reasonably priced.
I went here to get a Friday 13th tattoo & I was so impressed with the welcoming vibe they have in here! They communicate really well & super sweet plus they do amazing work!
Called the shop a few weeks before my visit to SD.Based on Connals work I decide to book with him for a coverup on my wrist. The place was very clean and organized, all of the artists were extremely nice and welcoming. Connal did not disappoint- he listened to what I wanted, made suggestions, made sure I knew what the finished tattoo would look like and what to expect during the process. He worked tirelessly to make this a great experience- he’s a perfectionist. I’m incredibly please with my cover up. Great experience- highly recommend.
The shop was really friendly, everyone there had smiles on there faces making me feel really welcome. My artist did an amazing job, cant wait for it to heal completely and schedule my next one.Side note,, Theres this older gentleman that comes every Friday and gets something tattooed. He is just the happiest guy living his life.
Spent about 10 hours here one day last week. Super friendly vibe, extremely clean, relaxing, inviting environment. Quality and professional tattoos. Not to mention they got them free snacks! Going back without hesitation in August to finish up my sleeve. Would definitely recommend 100%.
This is the 4th tattoo parlor I have been to in my life, and the service and quality of work I received at Family Business is by far the best! Daniel took plenty of time with me to work on adding / fixing an existing tattoo and he was patient and explained how we could approach fixing someone else’s poor work. He crushed it! EXACTLY what I was hoping for originally when I got the tattoo done years ago. Literally could not have had a better tattoo experience. The owner and the other staff members were just as friendly and social. Check out Daniel and Family Business Tattoo... you will not be disappointed.And they took me as a walk in!
Visited from out of town with a girlfriend. We were able to get two small tattoos as a walk in with Daniel. He drew up exactly what we wanted and was very patient with our indecisiveness :) we had such an amazing experience with Daniel that I came back the next day for a bigger piece on my thigh. Great work, very professional and warm vibe. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
I loved my experience here! Ronnie was my tattoo artist and he was great! He is flexible with timing, patient with me while we collaborated on sizing and positioning for my tattoo, and hits it out of the park every single time! No matter what, I walk out liking my tattoo more than what I asked for walking in:)
Awesome clean little shop. All the artists are personable do great work. Can’t recommend or speak highly enough about Mariana. Would absolutely go back again.
This place is amazing they do great work and are so sweet and clean and professional but welcoming at the same time. Do yourself the favor and get your next tattoo here! Thank you guys you were amazing!
Mariana did my tattoo and it was just what I wanted at a reasonable price. The space is casual and very clean. The atmosphere is very welcoming and Mariana as well as the the other artists there are very attentive to what the clients are looking for. This place is a gem.
Awesome experience! im from seattle but was visiting san diego and decided i wanted some new last minute tattoos. i called to get a tattoo and they took me in immediately. both tattoos turned out amazing! line work was great :)
Artist accomplished what I wanted in under a few hrs. I am very satisfied
Tattoo is pristine. Really clean work and the artist was super nice and clearly skilled
The artists are very nice and gentle 10/10 also they’re very opened minded
Family Business Tattoo is the best! Daniel was so nice, funny, gentle, and explained everything while tattooing. Didn’t mind answering any of my questions and was very accommodating to my comfort. I wouldn’t go any place else for any more tattoos. I found my favorite!
Went in for a walk in for my very first tattoo and was helped right away with the business’s instagram/portfolio and was given a price and time. Once i arrived i sat and was introduced to snacks and beverages while i waited. The tattooist, daniel, was with me asap, drew my design and once he changed it to match my preferences he printed out the stencil and got started. The tattoo itself took about 2 hours and came out looking AMAZING even with how difficult it was. I got a bow and arrow with a sun and moon incorporated into it. Nothing but straight lines! And he was funny and talkative throughout the process. Me and my sisters loved it. 100% would recommend Daniel to everyone!
Nice, clean studio with a variety of artists. Yasser did a great job.
Mariana was absolutely amazing! The nicest tattoo artist you will ever meet! She did not disappoint me and met all my expectations on my tat!!
Carrie was AMAZING. She did such a beautiful piece on my thigh, very detailed, abs executed perfectly. And she did it in a timely manner. I have lots of her tattoos highly recommend!! 😍
BY FAR BEST ARTISTS AND PREOFESSIONAL TATTOO ARTISTS I’VE EVER MET! They are true to the industry and won’t rip you off at all, they manage your budget and your schedule!!! Most importantly they take care of you while you’re getting your tattoo and check up on you days after! Don’t sleep on them this by far the best shop in California!
I had my tattoo done by Carrie and my experience there was really nice and accommodating. She even made a really nice suggestion to bring my tattoo more to life and was very quick and light handed which fit perfectly with the dainty style of tattoos I like.
Nothing but good things about this place. Came in with an idea and they made it a reality. And planned my entire sleeve l. So I absolutely recommend to anyone with Japanese themed tattoo ideas or any ideas for that matter. Definitely planning on coming back soon
I went to the Friday the 13th event they had. Iiked a few of the options of the tattoo flash they had. It came out great. Would definitely go to the shop again.
My friend and I called and walked in to have my first tattoo done on a spur of the moment. Ronnie and staff were friendly, very good vibes, knowledgeable and artistic with designing our tattoo. Thanks for your great work.
Carrie started to finish a full sleeve on my arm. She is so talented and gentle! And everyone are the shop is so nice and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone!
I have had tattoos done by three different artists and a piercing by one. They do excellent work. The art is wonderful, prices are reasonable, the place is clean!
Family Business was great! The artists were all super kind and helpful, cracking jokes and making sure we were comfortable when the appointment before us was running late. Awesome experience, will be back!
Daniel made the experience fun and comfortable. It was my sister’s first tattoo and she felt it was a 3/10 for pain. Would recommend to others and would come back for more.
We are all very happy with our Tattoos! Staff was friendly and welcoming. Great attention to detail Would recommend to anyone!
