Chance was the one who did my tattoo he did an amazing job. I will definitely go back there again. The prices are good as well.

I was tattooed by chance and he was a super chill guy. Worked out the design real quick and the tattoo was quick as well. Great quality and great price. I will definitely be going back for more.

Chance was great, he listened to everything I wanted and was super kind and respectful. If you think prices are high, look into what people charge for cover ups lol, very reasonable especially considering the shops location and the quality of their work

Chance hooked me up. I walked in with an idea and pic and he ran with it. Awesome job, I love the tat. Chance thanks a lot brother!

These guys are the best! I hit up the shop every tine I’m in town and leave with the best memory! They are professional but cool and extremely talented. Mike is amazing and I trust him 100% with any of my ideas... I look forward to every tattoo!

We visited this establishment earlier in our vacation. We wanted small tattoos on the last day of our vacation so we could enjoy the water while vacationing. We asked if we needed an appointment and were told no that they opened Monday at noon and he could get us all in. We showed up Monday 10 minutes early we waited about 1 hr, 45+ later than their open time. Finally someone came to the shop asked if we were waiting for tattoos we said yes he said well Im off today and hes obviously running late. I said ok what did that mean, he said, youre still waiting We couldnt believe the ignorance and unprofessional. We set aside our last vacation day for this to be let down. We called 3 Daggers tattoo and they were so amazing. I wouldnt wake waste my time with this unprofessional establishment.

I’ve gone to this shop 3 different times, every time I leave satisfied with my new ink. Two of my pieces were done by josh lamb who no longer works here but yesturday I got inked by Kyle who was very helpful, and kind and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He was fast and detailed and the high energy of the guys in there keeps you distracted and entertained

Chance was great! Super nice and great tattoo

I felt very welcomed! i walked in very indecisive about what i wanted tattooed. kyle was very patient and helped me with a very cool design. i overall had a very good experience.

So my daughter turned 18 on Sunday and the first thing she wanted to do was get a tattoo. So we were already down in MB so we decided to go to MB Tattoo. All three gentlemen greeted us and took my daughter right away. My daughter got a rose for her first tattoo and Chance did it for her. She absolutely love his work and him as a person. She felt comfortable and so did I. I also got a tattoo by Chance right after My daughter. In fact the quality of work and how nice they were, we went back the next day and brought a friend and my daughter and her got matching tattoos. Chance wasn’t working BUT ALL of them are AWESOME at what they do! Highly recommend this place!! We will ALWAYS go there for tattoos, and are comfortable with any of them doing our tattoos!!

Can’t say enough how good Kyle is. He was given a difficult piece of art to render and he did an amazing job. The actual tattoo turned out far better than I had imagined it. Kyle made some recommendations and I was hesitant but he was dead on right about it. Consummate artist, has a great eye, and his technique is outstanding. I will return to have some Polynesian work done and I can’t wait to make it happen. I’d recommend Kyle to anyone wanting a difficult piece that requires forethought and consideration. Five stars ain’t enough.

Got a fun tattoo while on vacation. Overall, it was a good tattoo and I knew what I was getting into when I decided to get a walk in tattoo at a tourist trap.

Thank you Kyle for this great tatto.Definetly coming back for more .very profishinal at his work Thanks again.

The artists here are absolutely incredible. If you want a fantastic tattoo at a good price, this place is definitely for you

Clean place, friendly people, I go to Mike Santa fe for my tattoos, he does amazing tattoos/artwork!

The tattoo artist, Chance, said he couldn’t do my tattoo because there was not enough space on my arm and there was too many details. Mind you, the picture I showed him was the tattoo already done on a smaller part of someone else’s body, their forearm. He took a picture of the picture I showed him and said he would draw something up. When I came back in, what he drew up was nothing like what I showed him. It looked so rushed and he was already in the middle of a tattoo so I couldn’t really talk to him about the details. He said come back in 30 minutes. At that point, I had realized how unprofessional it was that he said he couldn’t do the tattoo when seeing other work the tattoo shop does that’s way more complicated. I appreciate that they were so accepting of doing walk ins, but it seems like all they want is money and to give you a quick tattoo instead of giving the customer time to decide on details on something so permanent they’re getting on their own body. I was nice enough to call and tell them I changed my mind. Not to mention, I just walked passed their shop to go to the tobacco store, and that same tattoo artist was outside the shop telling someone how “weird” one of their female customers “lips” were who came to get a piercing and talking unprofessionally about other customers. I feel so bad for the girl who he was talking about in public, in front of their own shop. Definitely not professional by any means. So as a warning, I definitely wouldn’t trust them with private details about yourself. They are not as nice or professional as they lead on to be. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO GET A TATTOO. That’s all I can say.

My son got his first tattoo here. It looks awesome and my tatto looks great!

Awesome tat, awesome guys, took me as a walk-in and I got exactly what I wanted!

Great little Tattoo shop+ And its an OG Shop in Mission Beach ⛱Have had several Tattoos done here ! Representing some very talented Artist ready to bring your ideas to life !! 100%(Artist; Josh Lamb did both these)

Great service; clean and professional.

He did a great job and really showed his passion and expertise on mine will totally recommend to others

Got exactly what I asked for and it turned out beautiful!!

Me and my mom got some piercings here. The piercer Mikah was really cool. He made nice conversation and was very clean about everything. Would totally recommend.

My kid got a henna? tattoo nice work

Had a wonderful experience at Mission Beach Tattoo and Piercing. Jade was Awesome! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my tattoo. definitely will be back for more. If you are thinking of getting a tattoo, you need to check out Artist Encounter.D

The facility is immaculate, the staff is professional, patient, helpful and highly skilled. I got what I paid for and I am beyond pleased with their work. Ill never go anywhere else!

My sister and I received our first tattoo from Mission Beach Tattoo and Piercing on yesterday. The experience was great from the customer service to the full explanation of tattoo aftercare! Our tattoo was exactly what we wanted and we are grateful for the care and patience that we received from Mission Beach Tattoo and Piercing! Thank you for a great first experience!

Favorite tattoo shop

Jadd was my artist an he was awesome. He drew out exactly what I envisioned and when he tattooed it on it was even more than what I expected. He was professional and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely get tattooed here again! Thanks Jadd

Hes the best!!! He was super nice & made me feel really comfortable!! The staff was very sweet & also eased my anxiety lol! I will be recommending them to others and hopefully be back very soon!!!

I have two pieces of art from MB Tattoo that I got in 2005. They both are still bright and colorful. I am soon to get my next ink job!

Great service. Even better tattoo. Josh Lamb did mine and I gotta say...love it! He made it to match my 20yr old tattoo next to it. Looks great.

Josh Lamb is one of the most underrated tattooers in San Diego. Friendly and professional. Go get sick tats bro.

Brandon pierced my Monroe and Tragus when I was there on vacation. It was quick, painless and I love it. He was very professional explained everything before and after. When I got back to Texas he still answered all my questions and concerns. So happy I got my piercing there. All of the guys were cool and it seems like they enjoy their job. Prices were reasonable. I would definitely return and recommend anyone that is considering going.

Chance is an excellent artist. He did an amazing tattoo for my wife. Very professional!

I came in for my first tattoo, they were really cool and nice. Worked with me, it was quick and easy. Couldnt have asked it any better.

Great experience. Solid price. I was in and out sooner than I thought Id be. Definitely recommend.

I got my first tattoo here for my 21st birthday over the weekend and could not have had a better experience. All the guys were so friendly and excited to help me pick the right design and spot. Plan on coming back again next year for another piece! If you want quality work done by quality people then you should come here!

1st Tattoo! Attention to detail is awesome. Very gentle. Going back for more! Medium size butterfly.

Super cool shop. Good vibes. Jadd was very nice! Great script work. I didnt get the piercers name but it might be brandon? He was also very chill! Cool people and good at what they do. :)

I walked in a hour to closing I wanted just a simple cross on my wrist! They were happy to do it right then! Chance was awesome and down to earth I really enjoyed him!! If you want good work and a nice environment I suggest you make your way to MB tattoo!!

From the moment I walked in they were very friendly. Nice clean shop. Got my first tattoo and it came out great! Jadd did an awesome job! Definitely going to make the 2 1/2hr trip from where I live to get another tattoo.

Amazing work from great people. Good vibes and lots of laughs. Just a great time in general.

Walked in to get a small tattoo that I knew would have to be simple due to its size. The artists were very courteous and concerned with making sure I understood the risks of small tattoos and colors bleeding. We were able to incorporate our ideas to come up with a piece just like I wanted. Pricing was on point, shop was very clean and comfortable. Atmosphere was chill. Mike was my artist. I can honestly say that he was probably the most professional artist Ive encountered and Ive dealt with a few. If Im ever back in the area looking for more ink this is where I will go. Thanks Mike!

Super fast and easy piercing didn’t even feel it

The piercer was awesome!! First nose piercing & he was super easy to talk to, he was sanitary & made it painless.

You guys kill it. Thanks for the piece Jadd. I love it here. Talent, good service, and friendly. I’ll definitely always come back here for tattoos

Great guys, great work!

I had an idea and they brought it to life here. Mike and Chance, thank you so much for brain storming with me and getting this sick tattoo! Coming back for sure.

My wife & I both got tattoos and these guys were amazing! They really cared about making sure we liked the design before they started! Great vibe, great people, Id recommend these guys to anybody!

Clean, Professional, and the artists seem to have a passion for their craft. Relaxed and friendly staff/artists. Great experience each visit.

My best friend and I were planning on getting tattoos this last weekend and walked by and were greeted immediately by Bennett. He asked us what we wanted and let us know all the artists were busy for a few hours (it was a Saturday). We left and came back and they got started on our drawings. Josh was super friendly, and all the guys in there were hilarious. Constantly cracking jokes and laughing even though their AC was out. Bennett drew up my tattoo and finished in less than 30 mins. The shading and coloring is beautiful. Cant wait to go back next summer and get another one done. Plus, Gage, the piercer was so nice my friend decided to get her rook pierced and it was quick and easy. It doesnt hurt that they are all nice to look at too :)

I went here on the 9th to switch out my belly button piercing after having it for some time. I wish I got his name but the man who switched it out for me was super nice, he even explained the difference between the jewelry I originally had and the one I was getting from their shop and why it was better, it reassured me a lot.Definitely coming back here for piercings or tattoos when I get the chance !

Eddie, the piercing expert, is all good vibes, super knowledgeable, clean and explained aftercare in details with my daughters. What a fun vacation stop :)

Great atmosphere; you can tell the artists really want to make sure your vision is brought to life. 100% recommend.

I got a tattoo here last year and absolutely love it, but this year they wouldnt even give me the time off day. I couldnt even get a real price for what I wanted. Too bad they lost all their customer service.

I triggered something in one of the tattoo artists and I dont know how. I showed Josh a picture of a 3D realistic butterfly and he said he could do it. When I told him that I wasnt sure on the placement due to the pain, he got annoyed. He said its a tattoo and they all hurt and to make sure I know where I want it cause its permanent. I told him Im sure on the design, just not the placement or color. Again, I got a mini lecture on how tattoos are permanent then walked away.When he came back I was looking at pictures of 3D butterflies and he told me that whatever pictures I was looking at on the internet were photoshopped and showed me a drawing of cartoony flat winged butterfly with shading in the back (kind of like the dead butterflies on display in museums). When I told him I wanted what was in the picture and that I wanted the wing in a way where it looked like it was going to fly up, thats when it was over. He said, Ive been doing this a long time and I can already tell...Im going to pass you to Jadd.......Ive shown him everything he knows and Ive been doing this a long time........I dont mean to be rude or anything but for the amount of work and for that amount of money. Im going to send you to Jadd, youre in good hands.I said, Im just looking for something more realistic.He told me there are no realistic tattoos and he does more artistic. Then he just kept repeating that hes been doing this for a long time and taught Jadd everything he knows. I felt very uncomfortable and didnt even want to be in the same room with this dude so we left and I got an awesome realistic tattoo for cheaper with Ed at SD tattoo.Also, my friend that went with me had gotten a tattoo from Jadd the day before and she said hes awesome and nice. Her tattoo looks great! I just couldnt be in there with Josh repeating himself and giving me the side eye for being sure on what I wanted when hes the one that gave me the TATTOOS ARE PERMANENT!! lecture in the first place. Also, the care instructions were different at SD tattoo where they suggest putting on saniderm bandages for 3-5 days and MB tattoo had my friend keep it on for two hours. I dont know whats better, all I know is that realistic tattoos do exist and this picture is not photoshopped.

My girlfriend and I have been planning a tattoo for a while. We thought what better place than our week long trip to Mission Bay, as we come every summer. We walked in and approached the counter. The guy didnt even look up and said any questions? We get it, they are on Mission Beach, probably alot of annoying tourists..... We explained we were wanting a small tattoo (the same on both of us) and that we were here from AZ. Before he even asked what we wanted he said youre not going to get Arizona prices here! I have several tattoos and Ive NEVER walked into a parlor with this rude of a welcoming. Terrible, terrible, terrible customer service. I need good vibes when I get a tattoo, this is not the place.

I love MBT it’s my Favorite shop ❤️❤️

This was the best place Ive gotten a tattoo Very nice and caring succeeded my expectations if I ever come back to California I will definitely come back to MB TATTOOThank you for the ink lots of loveFROM ALASKA

Mission Beach Tattoo was awesome. The guys were very friendly and willing to work with me even though I was indecisive on how I wanted my idea. Bennet was a real sweetheart, taking time to come up with several drawing/ideas to help. In the end, I couldnt have asked for a better job..I also let my daughter get her belly button pierced.. The guys are all very friendly and they do a great job.. We travel from Arizona to get them to do our work..

Walked in on a whim and Chase finished a beautiful job within 15 mins. Awesome friendly place!

Amazing experience for my 3rd tattoo, definitely going back!

I felt very at ease with Mike. He was professional and calm and did an amazing job! (1St tattoo)

Yeah Josh is awesome, simple as that... finally found an artist that I will keep going back to ☺️☺️

Great Service!

Excellent experience, excellent tattoo. Very happy customer!!
