I walked in 4th of July weekend with a very simple design that I wanted tattooed with my girlfriend. It was a single line wave tattoo. I wanted it above my knee, and she wanted it above her elbow. It was on tattoo artist OB's flash sheet. This is where things immediately started going south. 1st OB initially told me $100 & $120 for this simple design which I already knew was way over priced, bering that it would take him a total of ten minutes for both tattoos. The receptionist then wrote the price down on the paper and handed it to us. He then proceeded to change the price after it was already on paper to $120 for hers and $140 for mine. I should have left then... but I continued because I thought there was no way a "tattoo artist" in a shop on the PB strip could mess up such a simple design... I was wrong about that too. On my girlfriends tattoo the tip of the wave doesn't even connect, and it is slightly crooked. When he placed the stencil, I asked him to replace it and he denied that it was crooked and proceeded to try to convince me why the stencil was in the right position. On my tattoo I thought it was weird he kept hitting a single line, there is multiple areas that go from thick to thin, and there is scratch lines of ink. the end of the line isn't even a sharp edge it fades out... pretty disappointing that a professional "tattoo artist" could not execute such a simple tattoo. Not only did he not execute these tattoo's he had a pretty bad attitude while doing it. Very unimpressed and will never refer anybody to this shop. Good job OB.

I' m normally not a person that reviews.. but when I come across such amazing talent and great customer service I must shout out!
I went into Tattoo Inkspot to get a large scar cover up tattoo on my stomach. I didn't know exactly what I wanted so I gave a general idea to my artist, Kellen, and he created a big, beautiful masterpiece that fit me to perfection. It took 4 sessions to complete so I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the shop. All of the people that work there are great, but Kellen stands out, not just for his amazing artistic talent, but for his cool personality. I feel like I not only got a great tattoo but a friend also! I am truly proud, and honored, to wear his art.. and I cant wait for bathing suit season so I can show it off!
If you are considering getting a tattoo I strongly urge you to go to Tattoo Inkspot and see Kellen... and definitely allow him to draw something for you! You will be blown away by his skill and talent in both design and application.

My friends and I took a trip up here to San Diego for a friends birthday, and on a brunch outing decided we all wanted some small tattoos, and found this place on yelp with glowing reviews, and I’m adding to those because Keith and the rest of the crew are amazing, he made me feel so comfortable and welcome while he worked on me, and everyone is so personable and funny. I’d definitely travel out here to get more work done by Keith ASAP, book your tattoos here!!!

Been all over OB and PB. None of the places or people gave me a comfortable feeling. Found tattoo ink spot accidentally. The place was very clean and very comfortable. Talked to Jesse and immediately liked him and his portfolio. We talked about the complex tat that I wanted and he had great input to it. Not only am I thrilled with it but everywhere I go I am asked "who did your tattoo" by friends AND strangers alike. Going back to get the companion tattoo to the one I got. I LOVE IT!!!
