OYABUN TATTOO SHOP 8199 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92111

"I got my very first big tattoo with JC. Best experience ever. He was super professional, super nice and incredibly fast! The shop itself had such a chill laidback vibe and had really good music choices. I’d only been tattooed once and it was super small on my arm, JC made sure to explain and reassure me about pain levels, the process and anything else to expect since I’ve never been tattooed on my lower leg before. Overall highly recommend this place and JC! You will not be disappointed!!"

"I had the privilege of being tattooed by JC, a talented artist working at Oyabun Tattoo, and I must say that the experience was truly exceptional. I was referred by a close friend to JC, and I saw that he had posted a flash sale of many different anime characters and artwork, which I believe is his specialty! He did the honors of putting Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira from the popular Anime, “Demon Slayer!” JC's passion for his craft is evident in every stroke of the needle. The level of skill and attention to detail displayed in his work is simply astonishing. It was evident that JC's focus was unwavering throughout the entire process, as he carefully brought my vision to life on my skin. Beyond his artistic prowess, JC's calm and friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. He was easy to talk to, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, which is so important when undergoing a tattoo session. As an apprentice artist, I was honored to be his last client before he embarks on his journey into the big leagues. I have no doubt that JC will soar to great heights in the tattoo industry, leaving an indelible mark with his incredible talent. Appreciate everything JC, will most definitely be booking again!"

"I got my first tattoo with James B and he really made my first experience at a tattoo shop an enjoyable one. I’ve been looking for an artist that did dark gothic tattoos and was glad I stumbled upon James. His talent really shows in his ability to connect and communicate with his clients as well as in his highly detailed work. He was more than willing to communicate with me and work on something I could be happy with. Overall, made the process as smooth as possible and is already my favorite artist. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars but I’m very excited to come back for my next piece!"

"Started my arm sleeve with yushi back in the middle of 2021 with a consultation and gave him my idea for a phoenix sleeve tattoo. Now finishing it in October this year. Throughout the process yushi was very friendly and helpful whenever I asked questions about the tattoo. Always making sure I get the best and highest quality of a tattoo he can provide. Phenomenal work with the way he blends all the colors together making it pop even more. Highly recommended if you are looking to get a professionally made tattoo with the highest quality service one can receive."

"I am pretty sure I was at the shop after their closing hours, but they were very nice about it. They were also very kind about the fact I was visiting to check if I’d like it only with curiosity. Honesty before my visit, I had not considered any permanent tattoos on my body seriously with many concerns, such as if the artist is not meeting my detailed requests, design/styles, etc. actually, I was surprised how much the artist, the shop owner, changed my mind on tattoos his work and designs he created. I highly consider getting the actual consultation when I travel down to Sandiego. Honestly, I don't think I cannot find any shops that could do the tattoo work authentic and creative in NYC. I cannot wait for my next trip!"
