Carrie at Family Business Tattoo adorned me with the most beautiful new half sleeve! Then she out did herself by adding some swirly, fun, and funky color to an existing but unfinished floral half sleeve on my other arm. Everyone at Family Business is friendly and fun, professional and poised. I can't wait to return!!

Jed absolutely nailed my tattoo. This was done as a coverup, I had a name written large in dark thick black letters, and now there is no visible trace. My experience was very positive and Jed is a true professional. Pricing was very fair. I couldn't be happier with the result.

Just finished a session with Carrie at Family Business Tattoo. She completed my full back piece after five sessions, and it’s unbelievable. From the very first consultation to the final touches, she was professional, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. The amount of care and precision she puts into her work really shows — every session built perfectly on the last, and the finished piece is insane.
Carrie also did my chest piece a few years ago, and it’s still one of my favorite tattoos. Her work heals well and I continue to get compliments all the time. She has an incredible eye for design and placement, and she really takes the time to make sure everything flows with your body.
The shop itself is awesome — clean, welcoming, and run by great people. The whole process, from booking to the final session, was smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for high-quality work and an artist who genuinely cares about her craft and her clients, Carrie is it. If you’re in San Diego and you need work done look no further family business is top 2 not 2.

Mariana has done the reconstructive tattooing of my aerola post surgery to make them match in size and color. Beautiful work! She’s so careful about privacy, preparation to minimize pain, and puts such care into such a sensitive/delicate area.
