High Class Tattoo SD

I made an appointment with Mia at High Class Tattoos. However, when I arrived, I was handed off to a different tattoo artist without any prior notice. I started with a small single-star tattoo, and unfortunately, the quality was very poor. I decided to stop the session before proceeding any further. Later, I learned that the artist was the owner’s daughter, and she asked her father to fix the tattoo. At that point, I asked where Mia was. I was told that Mia was in the shop working on another client. They then explained that all of the tattoo artists share the same social media accounts and that one person manages their Instagram and Facebook pages. They also admitted that the artwork posted online is shared among all the artists. This was extremely misleading. The work displayed on their social media may not be the work of the artist you are booking with. As a customer, I expected the portfolio I saw online to represent the specific artist I scheduled with. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop. The marketing and social media presence create an impression that does not accurately reflect who will be performing your tattoo or whose artwork is being showcased. Customers should be aware that the artist they book may not be the artist whose work attracted them in the first place.

I was honestly so excited to get my tattoo done here with Aaron until I noticed a few things prior arriving to the shop and WHILE in the shop. For one we had been following each other for ( ONE) day as in 1 since we agreed on an appointment. He then proceeded to swipe up on my story with a “so pretty 😍” then unsent it….. at first I did not mind and pretended to not see even though I know it is unprofessional and continued to show up for my appointment days later. I arrived there ON TIME, he was smoking outside and eating a burrito later on which he NEVER washed his hands he just SLID ON THE GLOVE right on top the lady in the front was super welcoming and nice love her, we were even having a conversation. They told me he was “finishing up” someone else. I was like ok maybe he’s wiping down a tattoo or putting on the fake skin. WRONG he had a whole half upper sleeve tattoo to do on a guy that was there. I waited for about 30 minutes when I was like yea I have to leave too many red flags to stay and I just felt like i wasted my time, energy and 50 bucks that I could’ve used for something else. I then contacted my friend who follows him as well to see if she at least had a good experience but she’s also had weird experiences with him since she’s a girl and felt weirded out. Weird af 🤷🏽‍♀️

BEWARE! I guess like the tattoo says, I will have to get comfortable with how uncomforFable this tattoo looks I went here last year for finger tattoos done by Isaac, they do hit stick whatsoever. I went back to have them redone, and they still didn't hold. Fast forward to last week, I came back (not realizing it was the same shop at first) and decided to give them another chance. They recommended an artist named Dominic for a script tattoo. That turned out to be a huge mistake. Before the tattoo even started, there were red flags I should've listened to. He asked me if I wanted to place the stencil because he couldn't get it centered. On top of that, he went out to the car to grab his iPad from a little boy running around, and then came back and didn't change his gloves. Completely unsanitary and unprofessional. Not only was the work poorly done, but the script literally looks like a 5-year-old wrote it... shaky, uneven, and completely unprofessional. On top of that, he actually misspelled one of the words through the stencil. He tried to "correct" it with what he called skin-colored ink (which is basically white ink), and now it looks even worse. And told me to "pick the black ink out when it is healing" Even after I made it clear I was unhappy, they still charged me $250 for two short sentences... one of which is spelled incorrectly. I reached out to the part owner to resolve this, and it turns out it's Isaac , the same person who did my tattoos last year. He told me I'd get a half refund and that he'd let me know when to come pick it up. Since then, I've called and messaged multiple times with zero response. Unprofessional, careless work, and terrible customer service. If I could give negative stars, I would.. Photos for reference

Freddy hooked it up. I came to San Diego for a quick trio and a full schedule. He was able to accommodate my flight window by coming in earlier. Great tattoo for a great price. Would recommend and if I'm ever back in San Diego I would absolutely come back again.

These guys are awesome. I’ve been meaning to write a review but finally managed to. Santiago was able to take me in and work with me to get a tattoo I saw on the shops Instagram. We spent all day on my tattoo and it came out amazing! Had a chill time at the shop enjoying the environment, since I was only in San Diego traveling on orders I only got to get one tattoo but I will definitely stop by again next time I’m in San Diego!
