Amazing service and an even more amazing artist! Leo did an amazing job on my large side tattoo of the solar system. My sister and I came as a walk-ins and were extremely lucky that he was available! Would definitely recommend!!

I love this shop. Great atmosphere. Very clean. Everyone is is friendly and welcoming. I live out of state and make a point to travel in for my tattoos. I have 3 tattoos that were done by Alec Bauer and am in the process of completing a multi-stage piece, currently. Alec is a fantastic artist and has great vision, impressive talent and strong ability. I've been beyond pleased, each time Alec has done a tattoo for me. I give him a general idea of what I want and he turns into into something much better than I could imagine. I will make every possible effort to see that Alec is my artist from now on. I can't say enough good things! Love this shop! Love this artist! Well worth the trip.

I worked with Julian on a couple of tattoos and had a good experience. He clearly is an expert tattoo artist and a professional. Absolutely will seek out Julian for future work. 5/5.

Just got my nose pierced at Fun House Tattoos; it was amazing!! I had such a wonderful experience with Paulie Oliver! He was so helpful and made the process so easy. The nose piercing didn’t hurt at all and he took the time to explaine everything to me. I would highly recommend getting any piercing or tattoo by him. The experience will be amazing and you won’t regret it. :)

Paulie Oliver was awesome! I had my ears repierced after they closed and the experience was quick, professional and practically painless! Paulie took the time to explain the process, offered earring options and discussed post piercing care. I will definitely be back and absolutely recommend his work to everyone looking for the best of the best in San Diego.

I have a tattoo that was done on the east coast about 5 years ago. The feather on it was dull, washed-out, and needed help. Paulie did an outstanding job of bringing my tattoo back to life. With amazing use of color, transitions, and technique he made my tattoo look better than I ever thought it would. Not only that, his professionalism, attentiveness, passion for perfection, and welcoming nature made me feel comfortable and confident with his work. Next time I visit Cali, I'm definitely returning for another tattoo.

Alec Bauer was my artist today, having yesterday been my 18th birthday and not knowing much about tattoos, my family (sister, dad, and mother) all went in to get tattoos after being recommended by my brother in law. The shop was very clean and all of the artists were very hospitable especially Alec. Alec really got to work and executed all of our tattoos to our desires and then recommended us to An awesome burrito joint. Loved the experience and can't wait to have my next tattoo done when I come back to San Diego in a few months!

I found this shop through yelp. I wanted to get started on a gorgeous piece and I needed to find someone who fit my style and I came across a master of tattoos...
So, I just got a tattoo yesterday by Alec and I must say that he was amazing. I started on a very painful tattoo: an octopus on my sternum and rib area. Alec had a plethora of information to make my next session go more smoothly including where to buy and how to apply numbing cream. He was patient with me. As I mentioned before, this was a really painful tattoo but definitely not my first. He put up with me and encouraged me to continue on, although, I'm no quitter so I wouldn't have anyway! ;)
Alec drew up the tattoo and we communicated via email beforehand. Initially, I wanted something more centered but Alec's instincts were far more superior. It's going to come out looking realistic and so detailed, I can already tell.
Now, this isn't a cheap tattoo shop. You're going to pay for any of the artists' artwork and their time. I think the pricing is reasonable especially when you take into account how long they've been tattooing and the quality of their work.
I can't say thank you enough, Alec, for this gorgeous piece that's going to come out so much better than I would have ever anticipated.
Next is black and gray shading then my final session will be color!
