This is the best shop around! I’ve done several session with Jadd and all my tattoos are 10/10 highly recommend his work…attention to detail, talent, and just an overall great experience. Nick Rank did my wife’s tattoos last week and he was great too…super attentive and gave excellent recommendations on how to create the best possible tattoos. Thanks Jadd and Nick for always crushing it for us!

Did a walk-in at Sailors Grave Tattoo Gallery and got tattooed by Nick Rank. Awesome experience from start to finish. Nick is super focused, thorough, and clearly takes a lot of pride in his work. I got an American Traditional roller skate and it came out killer—bold lines, clean work, and exactly the style I was hoping for. If you’re looking for solid American Traditional work, I’d definitely recommend Nick. I’ll for sure be back.

My adult children and I visited the tattoo shop for memorial tattoos after losing my son. We shared pictures of his tattoos and they handled each of us with respect, care and expertise. We are very happy with the outcome.

Awesome experience at this shop. Nick Rank personally tatted me but all the artists were super friendly and helpful. Defintely a collaborative environment which I think is super helpful when you're getting a tattoo. Not my first time getting tatted by Nick, but the first time since he has been at this shop. He worked with me to create exactly what I wanted and put down a beautiful piece. Stoked about this one!

Was visiting San Diego for the first time in a MINUTE and had some free time while everyone was working and found this shop through social media (TikTok/Instagram) and decided to try my luck as a walk in. The vibes were immaculate all across the board and time flew by while I was getting my piece done! Mikey was my artist (awesome handiwork and super chill), and the same could be said for everyone that was working at the time! I will definitely do my best to come back and bother them some more next time I’m in town or get my friends to get some ink for me. 20/10 !!!
