Frank is the man. Great conversation and atmosphere. Bonus, there is even an Xbox for the guests. Went in for a cover up and loved it. Price was right too. Even asked for a little extra on a different tattoo and there were no questions asked. He just kept going even though it was late and he had a looooong drive home. Definitely going back to see him and recommend any and everyone do the same. Thank God for this honest and talented artist! Read Less

Frank is amazing! I’m really glad that my friend recommend his shop to me. Just him placing the stencil on arm, I already fell in love. He knew exactly how I wanted my tattoo, like he was reading my mind! My boyfriend and I definitely will be coming back for more work, thank you so much Frank! Read Less

I just got work done with Frank last Saturday and I'm really happy that I had a friend recommend his shop to me. After seeing the work that he did on her husband and just getting a poorly tattoo done a month before, he did not disappoint!! (Honestly, I really wish I went to him in the first place). Frank and I communicated a week before the appointment and I showed him what I wanted. He then showed me some sketches and my original picture that I sent him just got thrown in the trash  (I was like, yeah his design is waaay better.) I came in on Saturday and I was early for my appointment, he greeted me and let me know that he's going to take a few minutes to set up (I usually like being early). I sat for a few minutes and he brought me back to see the sketch. I was already in love and I haven't even got tattoo yet! He was on point with my whole thought process on the piece I wanted to get and that's when you know he's a good artist, because he knows your vision but knows it better lol. He placed the flowers on my arm and freehand the tribals I wanted around, he did give me the option with would you like it like this or like that and I was like, "Whatever you think looks good." Honestly, this man is an amazing artist that I trusted on him on the tattoo that I was getting permanently on my body! He put the stencil on and it already looked good, the whole tattoo process wasn't even all that bad! I didn't feel a thing and he made sure that I was always comfortable. We finished with the outline and he put a cream on me before the shading, I was okay with or without it but him saying, "You went through a lot with the outline, it's just something to put so your arm won't feel that bad" shows that he wants to make his clients as comfortable as possible. The tattoo probably took a good 3 hours, but it didn't even feel that long because he engaged in conversation and we were laughing throughout the whole thing. I wish I knew about Frank a lot sooner and I'm seriously happy and in love with my new piece. After getting my tattoo, now my boyfriend wants to get one and go to Frank. Frank gained a new loyal client and I gained a new tattoo artist, I'll definitely be coming back to get more pieces done! Thank you so much Frank for my tattoo! You'll be seeing me more often!

AMAZING!!! Wonderful customer service, friendly, and professional. I showed him an idea he had and he put his input and made the idea better! He made sure I was okay with the changes & if I didn’t like it he would be very understanding, wouldn’t be like other shops and get upset. The price is amazing!!! Best tattoo shop! I’ll be coming here again for my next tattoo Read Less

All I can say is Frank is an Amazingly skilled and a passionate tattoo artist. I had seen Frank's work and knew he had to be the one to bring to life a tattoo that I had previously had done, it looks amazing, but when I watched his skilled hands him do a wolf tattoo on my friends neck and saw it come to life before my eyes, I was in awe! Would highly recommend Viper tattoo! Read Less

Took me awhile to finally get a tattoo. I saw all the great tattoos done by Frankie and knew he was the I wanted to do mine. He advised me of placement and care of my tattoo. I ready for my next one Frankie! Read Less

He is fair on pricing and he makes you feel comfortable. i will definitely go back to him for my next one. Good job! Read Less

Frankie is one talented tattoo artist. He has done many amazing and beautiful tattoos. When I decided to get a rose tattoo done for my birthday, I described to him what I wanted and it came out exactly how I imagined it. He also made me feel very comfortable and at ease.  I have several tattoos from other artist but after going to Frankie and seeing his wide range of skills I will only go to him from now on.

Took my 20yr old daughter to get her first tattoo it was the best experience. She felt no pain took it like a champ. Vipers Ink was the perfect place very professional. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants the best work in San Diego. Read Less

**AMAZING WORK** Frankie did a tattoo of my portrait on my husband and It looks exactly like the original picture. His work is super detailed. I would definitely say portraits are one of his specialties.  His shop is in a great central location & his prices were affordable and worth every penny! We have already referred several friends and they are always super happy with his tattoo work! Read Less
