SUPERFLY TATTOO & BODYPIERCING, San Diego CA

Guy with the face tattoos that worked the night of 1/6/23 was rude and short with me on the phone and not much better in person. Seemed like he was bothered to help me or answer any questions in contrast to the taller guy the night before that was very helpful and gave me cards. Guess I’m not going back.

Leilah was a fantastic, friendly, and informative piercer. Loved getting my earlobes pierced! Great overall experience.

Got my tragus done by leilani she was soo nice and talked me though the whole thing, as someone who doesn’t do needles and blood well i’d definitely recommend! Will be back soon!

Zeke did a re-work of my tattoo that I hated on my arm and did some freaking magic! It is so beautiful. He was nice and listened to what I wanted. The girls up front were really cool too and very helpful. My sister also got one of her piercings changed out and her new one is so cute! The minimum shop charge for tattoos is $100 and zeke just charged me $50 more dollars so it all worked out so great! Would recommend to anyone visiting or if you live around here too.

I honestly cannot praise Superfly enough!

Dominic’s skills are insane! Communication, collaboration, vision, technique, all ON POINT! I’ve had my tattoo for 3 months and cannot go one day without being complimented on it. Absolute work of art. I will never tire of looking at my forearm koi/Japanese masterpiece.

And as for piercing, you will not find someone who is better than Jannel. I took my young daughter in to get her ears pierced for the first time. She has wanted this for over a year, but was terrified. Jannel was patient, caring, understanding and absolutely LISTENED to everything my daughter was saying. Quick shoutout to the receptionist, Ciara, who even got another piercing to show my daughter how easy it was. After over an hour (Jannel is a saint!), my daughter finally agreed to do it. My daughter barely felt a thing and couldn’t believe she had been so scared. She even kept hugging Jannel for being so good to her. She is sooooo happy and doesn’t even feel it today, the very next day!

Everyone in this place is incredible… extremely personable and unbelievably talented. I suggest you stop reading the reviews and give these guys a call. My personal star rating for them is off the charts.

Really friendly and nice tattoo place. Adam helped me out and gave me my first tattoo. He was extremely helpful and offered his professional input and guidance. The price was extremely reasonable given the quality of work and the time involved to apply the tattoo.
I'd definitely make an appointment if you're considering going here.

I'd like to say that it's the only tattoo I'll ever be getting, but if I change my mind later on I'll definitely be in touch with Adam again.

They offer free touchups as well which I thought was a great level of care.

Editing my review- she definitely pierced through my cartilage. This was also my first piercing so I did not know it was standard to check positioning with the client before piercing, or to not use the same needle twice, which I'm pretty sure she did do. Had she checked I liked the location everything could have been avoided.

Went mostly well. Leilani did have to repierce me, and the second time the clamp was not straight, but I understand that it was a complete accident and won't effect the piercing so I'm not too upset, just caused a little more discomfort. She handled it super professionally and offered not to charge me for the piercing, which I did decline because as stated before it was 100% an accident. Overall nice looking place, very clean, nice people and practically zero wait time. In the future checking the tools might be a good idea for the piercers, but had it not been for this little hiccup it would have been 5 stars. Would recommend this place for sure.

Very rarely write reviews, especially bad ones. Apparently they dont want to tattoo people. Walked in to get a tattoo and previously they said that walk ins were welcome however when we were directed to an artist he stayed lounging on the couch and then trying to talk to him about what we wanted he almost refused to draw something. We were definitely getting tattoos and he just lost two tattoos tosay. If you dont want to feel like a burdan on these artists maybe skip here and head to a different shop.

Too pricey, I called before going in and It didn’t seem like any of the tattoo artist was interested in doing the smallest tattoo

This place is awesome it was clean the staff was kind and helpful and funny and I had a great experience there.

I got my piercing done on Easter. 3 days later I have a hole in my tongue from putting a bar too small in. I called back to get it fixed and they are closed. Super unsatisfied.

Great tattoo shop. Super professional staff. Shop is clean and always busy. Great work comes out of this place daily.

What a great little shop! Very clean, and the artists were all super chill and accommodating. I had an appointment with Sara, who gave me an absolutely gorgeous tattoo. She was very professional and she worked with me to get the tattoo design and placement just right. Robert also banged out a last minute walk-in for my boyfriend that he loves. I had a great overall experience, 10/10 would recommend!

Stopped in to see about piercings but the person they say handles that was on vacation. So. I'm gonna try again another time. 5 stars anyway. Not there fault I came when they were on vacation.

We love Jannel! I highly recommend going to her. She is extremely professional and makes your experience very easy and pleasant.

We walked in and didn’t even stay 5 minutes. We were greeted and then given an artist. Adam who from the beginning was extremely short. We were showing him our tattoo pictures which were very simple. He immediately made very obnoxious comments. I’m assuming he didn’t like them. When he drew them for us he was non stop pressuring all of us to get them the way he drew them. We were politely saying sorry we just kind of wanted what the picture was and he just kept complaining and telling us we don’t know what we are talking about. We politely said I’m sorry but I think we are just going to go somewhere else and he said fine I’m leaving.

My friend got a piercing there. Walked in greeted us warmly. Piercer came in very knowledgeable and professional

Thanks, Jannel! I got my septum pierced- didn’t feel it at all, no bleeding! My friend who needed to lay down afterwards was also taken care of well- they have water available too. Thank you, Superfly!

Liz is the BEST! Courteous, so sweet & does great piercings! So gentle & well informed. I've had 2 piercings in as many weeks (Marilyn & eyebrow) Can't wait for my next!
