I love black filigree tattoo’s flash sheet specials! I got one from their October flash sheet and I love it. I also got a geometric tattoo on my thigh that I am completely in love with. The tattoo shop is aesthetic goals! Super friendly staff was super welcoming as well as having attention to detail so you walk out super happy with your tattoo! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo! Read Less

When you first walk in the decor is the first thing one notices. I couldn’t even focus when I was trying to check in for my appointment because it was all so breathtaking! AMAZING!! BEAUTIFUL!! I came in to see Elle for a watercolor flower tattoo. Everything was clean and fast. She did an amazing job and she was so nice. Her and her husband were both nice! I will definitely be returning for my future ink! Read Less

I got my first tattoo here in October and everyone is really nice and patient. I was super nervous and they were very cool about it and reassuring that it’s nothing. I had a great experience and even shared some laughs with the artist while he was tattooing. Love it! Read Less

Yes yes yes. This place is beyond amazing and so neat, clean and aesthetically pleasing. It was pretty quiet when I went in to get a quote for the initial tattoo that I wanted. Ultimately, I ended up getting my first tattoo here and although my hands were shaking like nobodies business, it was absolutely nothing to be afraid of. I siked myself out for nothing essentially and although it was a tiny bit of an irritating scratching feeling, it was completely bearable. Micah was the one who took me on short notice and did my open delta symbol for me. It's small but means a lot to me and I absolutely love it. I thank this shop for being so cool, clean and kind to me as my first time was such a great experience. Thanks to Micah and the store for being my first. Read Less

I had cybil do some work about 4 years ago. So when. I was looking to get something new, l knew I wanted cybil. I found her at this cool shop in San Marcos Black filigree. Thank you Cyril!!! Can't wait to and finish it. Read Less

My best friend and I got matching tattoos. The woman we had was very nice and cool. She made sure that both of us were okay and comfortable so that's always a plus when getting a tattoo. My girl friend and I absolutely love our tattoos, they came out so dope! Read Less

Cybil was super sweet throughout my whole experience. I came in for a small touch up and instead of telling me it would be $60 (minimum charge), she offered to include another small tattoo to offset the cost. Although I was anxious, she was completely understanding and constantly reassured me that I was doing great. I was extremely happy with the work she did and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an artist in the area. Thank you, Cybil!!! Read Less

Got my first tattoo here overall a great experience. Cybil  was super nice and welcoming to my friend and I. We were both pretty nervous but she made us feel really comfortable. Also the price was very reasonable. Over all an amazing shop Read Less

The only tattoo shop I go to in 760 . When I'm in town I always book this girl there. The best spot , Cybil is like the most talented tattoo artist in the whole city hands down with overall style shape and shading skills , she puts dudes to shame . And her coloring , whoaaa . Ask for her. She's good, and won't mess u up like those esco spots ughhh m had many bad experiences but the fifteen times I've been here . Love it . And the benches are chill outside.Read Less

I set up an appointment to go in and get my first tattoo. I had talked to Cybil before hand and told her a rough idea of what I wanted. I went in and we planned it out together to get all the small details just right. She worked her magic and then she got started on the actual tattoo and it was a very comfortable and laid back environment. She asked multiple times how I was doing and if I needed a break! The whole process went so smooth, she is the best artist you could have. Nice, professional, and an amazing artist. The end result was outstanding and she made last minute finishing touches to make sure it was perfect! They have a great care package for after care. I was even lucky enough to get my tattoo half off for their holiday promotion of bringing in a toy over $20 for the women and children's shelter. Worth $375 got it for $193 including the after care package. I saw the end result of work done by dale Crawford and he did an amazing job as well! Black filigree is a 10 star tattoo shop! Read Less

Just finished my 3 sessions with Cybil on my feather stroke (micro blading) eyebrows!  I found her work on Instagram and started following her.  After a few months of seeing her work, I asked about her service and if she will do a consul 1st! I've been to several tattoo artist for my brows and all claimed to be the best of the best, work with celebrities, worked at NY Red Door etc etc!  Yes my brows came our Fked up!  Literally two diff brows and I look like a rat!I would spend 20-45mins ea morning covering up the eyebrow tattoo!  I was nervous on my consul with Cybil!  But she was super friendly and patience!  I felt at ease and made my 1st appt for my feather stroked brows!  After severalMonths and final visit, I do have to admit she does great work.  I need to give compliments where it belongs and she's one of them! She has an eye and talent for what she's doing!Not only is she beautiful on the outside she's beautiful on the inside!I am super happy to have found her and I am super happy with my brows!Thank You Cybil!  I wish only the best for her and her business.

Eric did my tattoo and he was absolutely amazing!! He listened to what I wanted and made sure that I was pleased! I highly recommend going here. Everyone there is awesome and tries their best to get you into an appointment to get your tattoo done sooner rather than later. Read Less

This review is very belated, but I have to leave a review for the place where I got my first tattoo!! Okay okay, well it's a small tattoo on the inside of my lip, but I'm grateful for the patient and helpful staff who explained the tattooing and healing process, especially for the sensitive and difficult areas like the inside of mouths. I would come back here for more tattoos, but I'm a huge commitment phobe!! Read Less

Hands down Cybil! She's amazing energy... She's amazing talent. Her fine line work is truly magical. I am so lucky to have come across her and trusted her with my eyebrows and tattoos... Now I need to find time and budget for more!!! She has a way of making it such a fun time and the resulting artwork is a masterpiece!!! Thank you Cybil for being amazing! Read Less

So my best friend and her mom went to get their eyebrows tattooed. At first I was a bit hesitant for them, just because I've seen SO many pictures online of people that get their eyebrows tattooed and it looks super fake and terrible (even when they get the "feathered technique" or whatever they call it, it just looks fake).My friend even showed me before and after photos of Cybil's (the girl that did the eyebrows) work. So then I was like, okay, it looks like she does a good job.SHE DOES AMAZING WORK.If there's anyone that needs or wants to get their eyebrows tattooed, I definitely recommend Cybil. And she is such a sweetheart! Amazing personality and it was such a fun day at the shop.I never realized how meticulous it was to get them done, just because she wants to make them perfect. She uses this app on her phone to make sure that they're both the same and both even. It's a bit of a process (about 2 hours), but definitely worth it.My friends mom barely had any eyebrow hairs when she walked in, and when she walked out - she had perfect natural looking eyebrows! It doesn't even look like she got them tattooed. Read Less

I got my eyebrows microbladed by Cybil and she is AMAZING! She's super sweet and a ton of fun and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She's good at it too! First the stencil, she doesn't start microblading until you're 100% happy with the stencil and she's not offended if you wanna make changes. She has an app that lines up the stencils too so that you don't have lopsided eyebrows. She uses a topical numbing cream so you don't feel a thing. She also picked the perfect color to use to tattoo my brows. They matched my natural hairs perfectly. She does feather strokes so that they look like actual hairs. It's mind blowing how gorgeous and natural the results are! I highly recommend her!! Read Less

awesome place, went with my mom, we love this place now! the décor is so unbelievably unique and the staff is friendly and nice. I felt very comfortably and relaxed. You do not get that "tattoo shop" vibe here at all and Edward scissor hands was playing on tv, which was a plus. will be back soon! Read Less

The shop has an awesome look to it. The painting, the decorations... amazing. Family friendly, they even have a little play area for kids. Having just had a baby ourselves, we thought that was very cool and progressive. My husband got his tattoo from Johnny, who did an awesome job. He's very happy with it. The people who work there all seemed really nice. I would hands down recommend this shop/artist to someone. (My husband doesn't leave reviews so I'm leaving this on behalf of him, I accompanied him.)

I went in to get my eyebrows done. Can't believe I waited so long to do. Thank you Cybil for the fantastic Job you did on my brows! I definitely recommend this place. I've been getting compliments and the best part is I can wake up and Go.....lol. Thank You!! Read Less

I went in for a foot piece about two months ago and am very pleased by the work Micah did! Because it's on my foot it is more vulnerable to fading but has held up pretty impressively so far. I love the turn out of the tattoo and the shop was adorable and everyone there was very kind and welcoming. Definitely recommend it. Read Less

Got some art done on my forearm by Micah Souza today he did a "Geometric Butterfly" piece for my grandmother that passed away, I've been to a few shops over here in San Diego County but I've definitely found a home with "Black Filigree." Micah is an awesome dude that makes you feel welcomed, and knows his job very well, he's very skillful, so I was very honored to have him do my tattoo for me definitely recommend him and the staff at "Black Filigree" in San Marcos!!

Awesome place!  I actually live in Vegas and learned about this shop through following the owner, Elle, on her social media.  She posted an original Alice in Wonderland drawing that she'd created months ago and they had an Alice themed event earlier this year so I knew this was the place to go for the Alice related pieces on my back I was thinking about getting.  Luckily, her original piece was still available when I finally got around to scheduling a road trip down there.  Despite being constantly busy with her many creative ventures, Elle was able to set aside a slot of time for me on a weekend when I could make the 4-5 hour drive down there and it was totally worth the trip!  They even provided me with an aftercare bag with soap and ointment for the healing process which was very helpful.  I've been getting tattoos for the last 8 years but typically only get one about every six months so I'm always stressing before getting a new piece trying to remember what product to use and figuring out if what I have in my bathroom cupboard is even good anymore after sitting there unused for so long.  The shop also has a lot of great decorations and personality and everyone working here seemed to have a pretty tight-knit family vibe with each other.  Always nice to get ink somewhere with such a positive and down-to-earth atmosphere and I will definitely make the trip there again in the future!Be sure to follow them on social media to stay up-to-date with all the events and tattoo specials they're always having.  Right now they're doing a deal on watercolor/ origami pieces and a Harry Potter Deathly Hallows symbol tattoo.  Sweet!!  :) Read Less

Love love love this place! Came here with my 2 sisters to get matching tattoos and they all came out so good and clean. Mikes line work was crazy good too, he makes you feel so comfortable and at ease of you aren't fimiliar with tattoos (it was me and my sisters 2nd and my other sisters 1st) and we are so happy with the outcome! Sibil (I hope I'm spelling that right) did my sisters and she was such a perfectionist!! I would definitely recommend this place! Read Less

I went here to have a tattoo covered. I was very nervous because I have never had a tattoo covered before. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and they decided that Danny was the best artist to tattoo me. I have never seen that before. It's usually just whoever is available will do it even if they aren't the best artist to tattoo the specific design. I was already very impressed. Next, I let Danny know that I wanted color but I am allergic to nickel and I am nervous that I might have a reaction. He checked every single dye he was about to use to make sure there was no nickel in it or anything that could possibly cause a reaction. I was so impressed at this point and to top it all off the price was very reasonable at $160. This shop is very professional and very clean and I love the way my cover up turned out!! Thanks Danny!! I will definitely return. Read Less
