Ms. Ting was incredible! During my consultation she hand drew the Chinese calligraphy that would go on my back along my spine and around my shoulder blades and was able to accurately capture the beauty of the piece by using her own traditional style of Chinese brushstroke calligraphy. Highly recommend going to Shanghai Tattoo 916! They really listen to what you want your tattoo to look like and they create it so beautifully.

Did not schedule to have any work done yet, but I did go in for a consultation. The artist seem to know the business and have excellent customer service. It's a clean shop, lots of wall fodder to look at. Ms.Ting has really put together a nice shop. Will be scheduling my half sleeve soon.

The shop is really clean. Parking is easy. Great location in Old Folsom. The work is incredible! What’s not to love about this place? Ms. Ting was very friendly and very professional and threw down this portrait of my dog Dixie in 2 hours. Ms. Ting and Josh run an amazing shop. I can’t wait to go back for more. 😃

I can’t not thank Ms.Ting and Josh enough for the professionalism, comfortability and perfection during my sleeve process! Ms. Ting exceeded my expectations and made me feel comfortable the whole time while tattooing which is so important to me. I got my family crest with a Japanese temple with various other work Ting came up with! Whenever I get my next piece I know exactly where I’m going and know what to expect 🙂 considering the item will be on my body for the reminder of my life I hold so much pride knowing I have a true artist work on my body. ありがとうございます! With love, Natasha

Ting is a fantastic artist! I have had two half sleeves done by her and they are fantastic! Looking forward to getting more work done by her in the future! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get work done. The studio is a very chill place and she is easy to talk to about tattoo ideas. Check it out!!

Shanghai Tattoo is just straight awesome! Joshua and Ting have a great studio and it shows by the quality of work, artistic creativity, and great atmosphere. They definitely take care of their clients and are extremely professional and super friendly. Ting is so efficient and detailed when working and the end results are outstanding. I looked around, read reviews, visited multiple other artists but I just kept going back to Shanghai Tattoo and ultimately booked with them and I am really glad I did. I had an older upper arm piece that I wanted to continue into a full sleeve. Ting did a great job extending down my forearm and the finished piece looks absolutely great. Don’t overlook this studio. Remember, you get what you pay for and Shanghai Tattoo delivers! Thank you Ting and Joshua! Looking forward to working with you again!

Amazing artists and great space. Friendly and professional. From concept to creation, the experience has been above any I’ve had. My tattoo is exactly what was in my heart, now on my sleeve. I highly recommend going here for your one of a kind piece of art for your skin.

Decided to get my lower sleeve done here after looking at the work that Ting does. It was the best decision. I initially got things moving with Josh Thompson who is awesome to work with for scheduling and dialing things in for the staff. Ting is extraordinarily professional and her artwork is amazing. She is worth every penny I paid to get it done. I even flew out from Portland, OR twice in order to have it completed in two sittings. The entire experience was very comfortable and I couldn’t be happier without the end result. I would rate them even higher if I could.

Taylor did another amazing job, even if it was just a touch-up!

Tough to put into words the experience we had at Ms. Ting’s Shanghai Tattoo. It was a very emotional and sensitive time for my wife and I as she got a memorial tattoo for our son who recently passed away. Christian Urias was particularly responsive to her ideas and created and absolute beautiful piece of artwork on her arm. We are extremely grateful that this shop is in our town and their care and professionalism was so appreciated. We will return for more work very soon.

Go to this shop for world-class tattooing! Ms Ting is a great designer and tattoo artist and you'll be very happy with the finished tattoo. I've had a number of large pieces done by Ms Ting and throughout the process she was helpful, professional, and the artwork is amazing. Thank you Shanghai Tattoo!

This was my first tattoo and I searched for years to find an artist who truly understood the concepts of Asian traditional art. Ms. Ting is so skilled and such a cool person to talk with too. The tat was designed after talking with me about the concept I had in mind and was far better than I had even imagined it. Since it was a full sleeve, a lot of the work was free-hand and you would never know it! I will return for future ink!!
