Diego Tattoo Gallery

First of all this shop is immaculately clean and adorable. Easy parking and in a central area of SD. BONNIE rocks! She is an amazing artist and very experienced at her craft. She is very gentle and has a very calming personality. Very reassuring. I would trust her with my ink any day and refer her to anyone!

Bonnie has been my tattooist for several years.  I am always so happy with what she does.  I have too many tattoos to count, but my favorite is a big thigh piece Bonnie put on me this last year.  I also have a horrible old tattoo, that I hate, it is on my forearm with lots of thick black lines.  I was very worried about covering it up.  Bonnie started on it a few weeks ago and I have been so excited by the results.  We are working on turning it into a full sleeve.  Instead of coming to Bonnie with a sketch, I just tell her an idea and she always draws the exact thing that fits my personality and body. She has now done six of my tattoos.  It also helps she is an incredibly hot bald lady.  Have I mentioned EVERYONE THAT WORKS HERE IS HOT???

Now the shop- Can you think of a better environment to get tattooed?  The décor is AMAZING and you can tell Diana, the owner, put a lot of herself into the studio.  It is so CLEAN and inviting and everyone is so friendly.  If you need some air, check out the back patio area.  It is like a little oasis!

The other artists are amazing as well.  Cari has done one piece on me that I absolutely love, and we are working on another.  Her color always really pops and she makes quick work out of big pieces.  She is also fun to banter with and has a great laugh.

Diana and Beth will also tattoo me in the future.  They are both such talented artists.  I have seen work from both of them that catches my breathe.  Beautiful ladies that do exquisite art!

I will only be happy when they have all four tattooed me.  Now quit reading this and get in there!!

Just snagged my first tattoo here and it's been four weeks and my skin hasn't fallen off or anything, so that's a good start.

My former boss and two of my siblings had some nice work down by Diana, so I decided that Diego Tattoo was the place to get it done. As soon as I arrived in the store I knew that they were the pros (and that's saying a lot in a Navy town). I brought Diana a few pictures to brainstorm with, she said "great", I left my deposit, and I came back two days later to find a sketch better than what I imagined. So now, I have this great looking tattoo and I can't wait to get my next one!

Diana made getting a five star rating look easy.
