Best place hands down for professional, ethical, beautiful body artwork. Studio is small but super clean, the artists work hard to make sure your design is exactly what you want. Perfect, fast, friendly and fun studio. Ryan, Miguel and Tommy are just plain awesome!! Read Less

Miguel is an amazingly talented artist who takes tattooing to another lever. My wife and I both got work done with Miguel and words can't explain how appreciative we are. Comfortable and super clean shop. Highly recommend Read Less

By far the best tattoo parlor I have ever had work done at. Miguel is a truly skilled/gifted artist. I only go to him for all my works of art. I highly suggest inquiring at Escondido Tattoo first for any work you want to get done. Read Less

Came in for my first tattoo the other day, and went to Miguel. He has been tattooing sever people in my family for years. Our only tattoo shop that we go to. He did a awesome job. Everything is perfect, and no mistakes. Definitely coming back to get a big arm piece done soon! Read Less

I've come here several times and I really love the studio. The guys there are easy to communicate with and the work they do is incredible. Miguel has done two tattoos for me, both cover -ups which are beautiful and I get complimented for all the time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional and exemplary work!

Been coming here forever.. Great artists! Great price! Great attitudes!! I recommend to all! Very clean, professional and laid back place. I try to come in at least once a month. If you haven't been here, what are you waiting for?!?! Read Less

Miguel is amazing, I have now had him tattoo me twice. Once he fixed a tattoo on my foot, and he just recently did a couple tiaras for my best friend and me. Miguel is so professional. We came in to talk, and he was very informative and had a lot of great professional advice. The day we went in, he showed us what he drew and let us change what we wanted. He let us talk about colors when we went in and made sure that everything was exactly what we wanted. Conversational, and very efficient. Also it's a very clean tattoo shop, and a lot of cool s*^t to look at! thank you so much, Miguel!!! Read Less

So stoked on this place,unfortunatelyI have had some bad work done in the past but these guys (Ryan,and Miguel) are amazing. They will fix you up and do amazing at it. I took my mom for her first tattoo last week or so. Ryan made her feel totally comfortable and have her all the information she would need to prepare her for getting the tattoo and for after she has it. I am going to this place for life. As a matter of fact I am going in this week to get my newest piece drawn up! Read Less

I have been coming to this shop for about four years now. I have never had a negative visit here. Ryan is always professional and always has his clients best interests in mind. Ryan and Miguel always keep the shop clean and sterile.  I always recommend Ryan to all my family and friends. He has done my whole back plus countless tattoos here and there. Never goin anywhere else for tattoos. Read Less

Thank you all so much! Wonderful artists, great atmosphere, amazing work. The staff is chock-full of amazing conversationalists who know their tattoo history and love sharing that knowledge with you. Received a beautiful Buffy the Vampire Slayer quote on my ribs. Not only did they quadruple-check the quote for accuracy and my pleasure, but they even researched the font. When the font wouldn't download, they free-handed it over and over until it was perfect. I'll love it... forever. My work was guaranteed, so I can touch it up when I visit if need be. My best friend got an amazing piece to commemorate a yearly scavenger hunting event and it must be seen to be believed. There was no blood, no ink bleed, nothing. Just a perfect tattoo that started healing instantly. Their aftercare goodies were generous. I would trust any artist there. This is officially my parlor in SoCal. Thank you all so, so much. See more Read Less

These guys are the best. I went in yesterday to get a tattoo for a scavenger hunt. After trying to talk me out of it because he's a responsible artist, Ryan took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted to gave me an even better quality tattoo than I was hoping for. They were clean, professional, friendly, and worked with me on the price. I couldn't be happier and will definitely be going back for more planned work. Read Less

Got my first tattoo here with my sister. Miguel was awesome. Made me feel very comfortable and laugh throughout the experience. He was very accommodating. Definitely will recommend to everyone. Thank you! Read Less

Escondido tattoo is a great shop and the proprietor Ryan is an artist. Old school feel with a cool atmosphere and most importantly they work with your designs to get it right. Will be back! Thanks Ryan! Read Less

Ryan did work for my brother and he was so nice. It was my brother's first tattoo and he made it so easy and comfortable for him. It was a bit busy and waited a little bit but it was worth the wait. Great tattoo and the price was reasonable. I will come here and get my work done now! Read Less

I have been coming back to Ryan and Miguel for a while now.... Besides the fact that I feel welcomed every single time I see them, I LOVE their work. I think there extremely talented at there profession and absolutely love what they do. I wouldn't go or thought of going anywhere else. This guys are awesome. Highly recommended!!!!Karla L.

Decided on a whim to get a vaca souvenir tattoo while here from NH.  John was able to fit me in on very short notice. The artistry was superb and the execution was perfection. It was more than I envisioned.  I was there for a good part of the day from design to completion and greatly enjoyed both Ryan and John's company. They made me feel very comfortable.  The customer service was top notch.  I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a first rate tat at a reasonable price!! Read Less

Ryan was great! This was my first tattoo and I love it! It looks fantastic, and the detail is there... Clean shop and great atmosphere. Ryan you are one funny guy. We will definately be back for more work when back in town. Thanks so much!!!! Read Less

Got a tattoo in this shop a couple months ago... Miguel did my tat, a koi fish which I really really love!!! Great place and atmosphere, clean and everyone Is really chill. Loved it!!! Want a clean tat, visit this shop! Read Less

I have been coming here for years and Ryan does all my work, What I love is how easy it is to work with them on what you want and they always make sure you get a great experience. Really wonderful artists in this studio and the quality is amazing, and it has a non pretentious atmosphere which I like a lot.  They make you feel at home and totally comfortable throughout your session and I would highly recommend anyone to come here and get some work done. I get compliments all the time when I am out about my ink, a tiny old lady stopped me the other day and told me how beautiful it all was and how she wished she had been more brave when she was younger and grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight.  There is no other place I go, and I have a lot of ink now.  What are you waiting for? Call them now, get some wonderful art and create memories. Read Less

I went in with a crappy tattoo and Ryan took it and made it so cool... I'm amazed. I sat there for 45 minutes with another guy who was getting some ink. I could tell he was cool with his stuff and man, I can't tell you how great my work it... I got this tattoo by some other tattoo studio in Esco and was never happy with it. Escondido Tattoo took that and made it what I wanted. Word! Read Less

Wow; these guys are great artists. I took in my favorite album cover and they helped me create the tattoo I've always wanted. I can't draw or color worth nothing. These guys listened to me, showed me what works on skin and how it's done and helped me turn my ideas into an eye-catching piece of skin-art. Thanks and Thanks for the all the Compliments I now get!!!! Read Less

I've been a customer of Escondido Tattoo's since 2008. I find them professional, knowledgeable and a very clean operation. The owner, Ryan Rankin is an accomplished artist and has worked with me on my artistic desires helping me to achieve my goals. I couldn't be happier with the results. Terrific!! Read Less

My girlfriend recommended me to this shop. It was very clean and the artists were professional. Miguel did an awesome Red Sox logo that I have waited forever to get. The detail is spot-on. I will definitely return and refer my friends here as well. Read Less

I have been going to this shop for many years and have had nothing but professional care and quality work by everyone. Rev Ryan has done more than 20 hours on my leg in multiple sessions in addition to the many quirky and unique little pieces I have requested. Miguel did an awesome portrait of my Dad from the 50s that brought my aunt to tears. I recommend them to everyone who wants a real tattoo experience. Read Less

I normally don't write reviews but when I saw the review below, I felt compelled to share my experiences at ETS. I have been going to this shop for many years and have had nothing but professional care and quality work by everyone.

Miguel did an awesome portrait of my Dad from the 50s that brought my aunt to tears. I recommend them to everyone who wants a real tattoo experience. And if I learned anything in the 20+ years of getting tattooed...Good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good. Read Less

Got my first substantial tattoo here. They have fantastic customer service. I threw a couple of curve ball ideas at Ryan and he still delivered an amazing tattoo. Pricing was very reasonable and they were very flexible with my budget. Read Less

I highly recommend the quality of the artwork, the customer service and the cleanliness of ETS. Collecting a few pieces over the years I have met a myriad of tattoo artists. Most I've met have had an arrogance about them - an immediate turnoff as a potential client. It's usually the same attitude you find when you patronize one of those indie music stores where the staff makes you feel like you're not hip enough to be there. This was not the case with Rev. Ryan. And, that is partially why I chose him. I've had three sessions with him to add to a shoulder cap and create a half-sleeve and every time I get compliments on his work.If you've never been tattooed or met with a tattoo artist or you have and you think you know more than the professionals Rev. Ryan will accommodate you. And plus, they're always playing great music. PS, The Rev. loves pastries. Just saying. Read Less

This guy "Rev Ryan" he likes to call himself is very arrogant! I went in there knowing what I wanted and he basically told me that it was impossible. Yeah the letters I chose were a little thin and very cursive but from experience I know that it can be done, so anyway when I asked him how his cursive was he said "O ive been doing this for years give me 5 min, and he comes back with french script computer generated writing...REALLY! as im telling him what I wanted he kinda through an attitude and didnt understand, so here I am lost again because hes telling me its impossible so im trying to figuyre out what I wnat and how to go around it, and im not sure if I wanted color or not at this point so i asked if during the process can we add color and he throws his hands up and was like" You gotta tell me now!" whatever I said nevermind I shouldve walked out but i stayed and the tattoo turned out perty nice, wish the writing was better thou!

Rev Ryan is amazing. I was in need for a new artist.. bad andI heard about him through one of my fellow roller derby girls who was going to him for her work.I decided to check it out and I have been going to him for about a year and a half now and couldn't be happier. Not only does he listen to what I want out of/in a tattoo but he is also an extremely talented tattoo artist. I have some of his free hand(just drawn straight out on my arm!) work also and it's just as good as the stuff we have spent hours on drawing up. I have never once gotten a duplicate picture drawn out.. I give him and idea and he just draws it.  I have been to other artists in the past but none as talented or patient as Ryan. Don't let his size fool you, he is light handed with the tattoo machine, it's great. Not to mention just a cool guy.He recently purchased the shop and has totally turned it around. I am a proud "Rev Ryan Follower" and know I won't be going to anyone else for my work.  I added picture to this album a of some of my work on my sleeve. Please take a look cause he is wicked awesome and everyone should check him out. Tell him Gia sent you. Read Less

Professional artists, especially Don Bishop!watched him do about five tats now, including my second one, and hes the best, very light hand so bare min. pain, but very accurate and skilled at perfect tats, from design to placement and actual tattooing.must check in at least before considering the other riff raff around north county Read Less
