Shauna did a great job explaining the piercing process! She went through step by step to alleviate any anxiety. It was a tear-free nearly painfree process! With 15 years of experience she did it quickly. She kept everything super friendly, would highly recommend! Read Less

BE CAREFULLLLLLL I just read this liver explanation and I'm in Choke, HOW MANY LIERS. Oh my god. BE CAREFUL PEOPLE.. I never spoke if the phone if this person, Oh my god, this is worse that I thought.. I send the picture exactly when He finished, and I never touch the tatoo, I was telling him that the design was wrong and he was crazy if something that he didn't make the good line. Just check the picture . Keep my money, I just told the true about you guys. TRERRIIBLEEEE PLACE went to this company because I wanted to cover a small tattoo, and Jeff picked it up and decided on the design. When he started to make the tattoo, I bet he had not made the same size lines, he was making a crown, I had to stand all the time showing that one side was bigger than the other, and with that he had to redo many times, greatly hurting my skin that caused a horrible inaction. It's already 3 weeks and I'm still feeling a little pain. The doctor told me that the infection also came from the fact that it hurt my skin and that's why the healing is taking so long and the owner of the company I was talking all the time that was crooked and went where I was doing the tattoo and Jeff said he was covering a tattoo.I got in touch with the Owner, he was rude and he offered me to redo, I said that I want my money back and that I'm going to do it elsewhere, I do not want this guy to touch my tattoo, they refused and they force you to have to redo and spend more money or you make the guy who made the worst tattoo. Careful, because the service is against the consumer, are not even there and Jeff still forced me to have to withdraw money and not use the card machine. A company with no respect, I'm going to lose my money because I do not want to go back to this place and I ask everyone to share and help me to show that this company does not respect their client.....

I have personally been going to this shop for the last five years now. I have had nothing but the best in service, honest pricing and loyalty. All of the staff members were great, they are all amazing artists. I would have given it more stars but the maximun is ten. Read Less

My experience with this shop was not good... I got recommended by a friend who personally knows the owner of this shop "Brandon" who was the person who worked on my left arm. It all started by having to wait 2hours. My appointment was set for 6pm and he didn't get to it until 8/8:30pm ... ok I was like whatever, this was my first time getting a tattoo there ...so I didn't make a big deal about it .. I let it go...  ok so he finishes tells me to keep an eye on it, you know the routine for the curing process ... he asked me to come back in few weeks to see it and if needed he would do the NECESSARY shading TO COMPLETE the tattoo. I came back a few weeks later, the tattoo had already cured and I will post pictures so u can see that it obviously needed shading... he looked at it and set an appointment to do the shading required... while I was showing him the tattoo he seemed bothered by the fact that I was wanting more detail on it, but there was no contrast! He said aight come back next week "I'll see when I have time" I said no! Book me an appointment that way we are set and I can take the day of if needed! Why!? Well because it's important to me it's visible. I'm permanently marking my skin for life so I want it to look right! We set the appointment for a Friday at 1pm. I took half of the day of with no pay to be there at the appointed time. When I show up at 1pm he was barely getting there to start the tattoo on another person who had already been waiting for him since 12pm!!! So.... by this time I was a little upset.... I waited until he finished by this time it was 3:30pm... we go over the details once again and now he seemed insulted with what we already had talked about before which was making it right! He said that the tattoo was perfect and that I was being picky! And that he only does 30minute complementary shading anything after that he charges extra. At no point did he mention that he would only do 30minutes! But wait!!! Wasn't I already there waiting on him for for two hours and half?!? Ok there's more.... he said I haven't ate I'm gonna get this grub and then I got you! What?!?!? this is unprofessional!! first of all respect people's time if u want to charge whatever you want to charge! Your time is important?! Well so is mine!! Having to wait for you because you were late and then cause your hungry?! That's BS! The spot is always clean the other artist seemed real cool... my experience with the owner "Brandon" who was also my artist was bad.. Ok so I left...  I went to look somewhere else I ended up at this spot in vista called Vista body Art! I talked to Bear, he looked at my art and made a face like if he was smelling urine ... he said "this looks murky it has no contrast." Long story short he fixed and made right what Brandon had done wrong and refused to make right.. 30min shading ?! Dude please! Have pride in your work in what you do! If something doesn't come out right make it right man! Even if it takes 1hour or two! You owe it to your customers!Here are the pictures judge for yourself! Read Less

Decided to get my naval pierced during one of their June specials that Manny was promoting. Saw the Ad through Instagram and came in that same day to get it done. I have gotten my nose pierced here before by josh and he was very attentive and explained the procedure thoroughly, the cleanliness of this place and atmosphere is awesome compared to any other place I have been. Anyways when I came in Manny was so nice and acknowledged me right away and told me he would take me to the back to get pierced, he was so personable and so so so friendly. Also he explained the procedure to me and did not lie about how bad it was actually going to hurt. He checked in a few times and always made sure I was happy with the jewelry, placement and the picture he put on his Instagram. I'm so glad I got to meet manny that day and also make a new friend! Later that night I was more than surprised and so happy that he had texted me to ask how my piercing was doing and also thanked me for coming in and he also wanted to make sure to answer any questions I had about anything. Such nice people! I couldn't believe the amazing experience I have had here not once but twice with both Manny & josh! Thank you guys so much. Read Less

Got my back piece here after Manny the piercer recommended me Danny that works there and I recommend him to everyone who is a first timer or is thinking about getting a large piece because he is amazing. Aside from his work being awesome, he's a real patient guy and does not rush the process. If you're in pain, he doesn't give you an attitude when asking for breaks ( like other tattoo artists) Danny also is very detailing and has a light hand. He is very precise with his line work and I am so happy I choose him to do my back piece. Zoom into my picture if you'll like and you'll see for yourself! & money wise, his prices are reasonable and is a really honest guy when it comes to it, you'll know you're not getting overpriced! I recommend him 10/10 Read Less

So no problem parking. Its in a normal business mall lot next to a cool country diner n fast food. Inside, everyone is cool. In the waiting area, the artist leave their portfolios which has sum down tattoo work em. Haven't gottn a tattoo yet, but the couple times we've walked in has been for a Medusa(philtrum)my lady got and turned out nice. No infection or over swelling. The piecer was cool, professional and his spot in bak was clean like a dr or dentist wud have it. 2nd time bak, got jewelry changed. Different piercer but she was jus as professional and personable. $40 for the piercing and jewelry. Cant beat that Read Less

I came here to get a nose stud and an industrial piercing and I had an AMAZING experience. Shauna did both piercings for me, she was professional, gave me all the info I needed, and the piercings themselves went by quick and smooth. I will definitely come here again when I decide to get more piercings. Read Less

I went in for my first tattoo and I had an amazing experience thanks to Slo! He made me feel comfortable and did an amazing job I love my tattoo and so does everyone else. I’m definitely coming back to him for my next one and I’m telling everyone I know who wants to get a tattoo to go to him. Also this place is really clean and sanitary Read Less

Came here with my sister and a few friends the day after friday the 13th. They had a deal going on for piercings, I think face/ear piercings were all $20 each! I believe the guy that helped us out was named Josh. He was super attentive and explained the process thoroughly which is so important to me at tattoo/piercing shops. I was getting my nose re pierced and my friends/sister either got a regular nose piercing or septum. All of our piercings came out great! Josh was patient and is good with deciding placement for your piercing. We waited a pretty long time, but I'm guessing it's because of the deal and Josh being the only piercer that night. The pain was a level 3-nothing. People always say it was nothing, but the process was quick and after that little pinch your nose just goes warm and thats about it. If you have any questions about anything, the workers would be more than happy to help. Def would come back here again for any future piercings, thanks guys! Read Less

I specifically wanted something done not even close when it was finished. Horrible!!!! I forgot the guys name who tattooed me his set up was by the back door. He was more interested in what’s going on in the store vs tattooing me and kept asking if I like it almost like if he was new. The clouds I wanted look more realistic and real the ones he tattooed look like the ones from Super Mario Bros. I have to go else where to get them re done. And top of all this I overpaid. Read Less

Josh was awesome! He not only did my piercing but he also did my roommates the same day. He made it quick, easy, and almost painless. He made the aftercare very straightforward and easy to understand and gave us his number just in case we had any questions.When my friend accidentally pulled her piercing half out, and I immediately texted him. He told us to come in and he fixed right away! Very happy with the experience. Read Less

If you want a piercing done , I highly recommend Manny. He has done my traigus , conch , daith, septum , and nose . I couldn't be happier with the results . He is quick and clean. I've had a piercing done at another parlour and comparing it to Manny, it was slow and not as good. Manny is honest and experienced . He'll give you his best opinion before you get the piercing . Awesome shop! Check it out ! Read Less

My brother got his first tattoo today and it turned out so nice and very clean. The work was done by Brandon "Danger". He was very professional the whole process and made sure my brother was comfortable and that he wasn't in much pain. the shop has a feel good vibe to it...and all the guys looked very focused on their work.

Beyond happy with my experience here! The shop itself is super clean and all the employees are friendly and helpful. I got my tattoo done by Johnny and he was amazing, seriously can't recommend a better artist! His art work is beautiful and he made sure the stencil was placed correctly and even freehanded some flowers to make sure they perfectly fit my body. He made sure I was comfortable the whole time and offered plenty of breaks when I needed them. All around amazing experience and the six hours I spent there were full of great music, great conversation, and even greater art! Definitely recommend this shop! Read Less

Love the environment at Ink Spot! Johnny Montejo is the best!!! His art is super amazing and he is super nice. He also really makes you feel comfortable. I've had three tattoos by him and will definitely be going back for more! Thank you Johnny and Ink Spot! Read Less

Just got my first tattoo ever and I'm so glad my first time was here. I'm from AZ but was in CA at the time and decided to get a tattoo... this place definitely set the bar for the next place I go to to add to my tat. They are very clean, friendly, welcoming and definitely made me feel comfortable for it being my first time! My fiancé ended up getting a tat as well, along with two other family member. Read Less

Could not have picked a better shop to waltz into...I had found The Inkspot by combing for tattoo shops in Escondido. My girlfriend and I wanted very simple tattoos, but we weren't about to go just anywhere.From the moment we walked in the door, we could not have felt more comfortable. All of the guys were so friendly and professional. I was fortunate to have Sergio do my tattoo...not only did he take my simple little text and make it look 100% better- but the execution and the whole experience was top notch. Sergio is a talented artist and a very warm guy. If I was going to have any amount of time under the needle- he'd be my guy.My girl Bex had Rayz do her tattoo. Rayz listened to what she wanted and offered a few suggestions- which ended up with exactly what she had hoped for.I felt so comfortable at Inkspot, I figured that there was no better time to poke a couple holes in my body while I was at it.  I was introduced to the shop piercer-Josh.Josh did a double helix piercing for me just minutes after Sergio had wrapped my tattoo. He was the most gentle and nice guy to deal with. Even though it was two pretty simple piercings, he explained everything and put me at ease. We made sure to share suggestions of best Mexican food and Phò in the area too!I would highly suggest Inkspot to anyone looking to get a tattoo and build on to their existing work. These guys are top notch and they run a very tight and clean ship...the classic rock soundtrack is the icing on the cake.Thanks for a great experience guys...one we will have permanent reminders of.

Great Experience !! Manny is an amazing body piercer, he did my tounge & belly. Sloe the apprentice just recently did my wrists, im satisfied! Would recommend anyone to go for whatever reason . All the dudes there are chill! Read Less

I was so nervous to get my first tattoo but my tattoo artist, Rayz was so professional and made my entire experience the best. He has done my second tattoo and the details and line work he did was the best. The entire family of artist at The Ink Spot Tattoo are so welcoming and has the cleanest shop I have ever seen. I have to also give a shout out to Manny who did all of my daughter's piercings. He is the best for piercings. I highly recommend The Ink Spot Tattoo shop and especially Rayz as your talented tattoo artist!!! Already looking forward to my next tattoo. Read Less

Shop is clean. Artist are very friendly. They all do amazing work. My only complaint is that one artist has a hard time keeping appointments. But I highly recommend this place to others for tattoos or piercings. Read Less
