Shanghai Tattoo was founded in 2007 in Shanghai, China, by the world-renowned tattoo artist Zhuo Dan Ting, also known as Ms. Ting. Over the years, Shanghai Tattoo has earned international acclaim, with features in prestigious publications like CNN, Inked Magazine, and Skin Art Magazine to name just a few. It has also been recognized in numerous articles as one of the top 20 iconic tattoo shops worldwide.
In 2018, Ms. Ting expanded her artistic vision by opening Ms. Ting's Shanghai Tattoo in Historic Folsom, CA, USA. This high-end tattoo and piercing studio quickly became a cherished part of the Folsom community, known for its exceptional artistry and commitment to quality. In 2024, Shanghai Tattoo reached a significant milestone by purchasing their own building at 305 Wool Street, Folsom, CA, further establishing their presence in the area.
Our studio is home to a talented team of resident tattoo artists, each specializing in distinct styles that offer clients a wide range of tattoo options. Our artists excel in various styles, from large-scale to smaller-scale tattoos, including Japanese and Chinese traditional, black and grey photorealism, color realism, custom Chinese calligraphy, American traditional, neo-traditional, geometric, blackwork, bio-mech, watercolor, fine-line, and more.
While we primarily operate by appointment, we strive to accommodate walk-ins whenever possible. To ensure availability, we recommend calling ahead. At Shanghai Tattoo, we are dedicated to serving our community and clients with the highest standards of tattooing and piercing, and we look forward to many more years of excellence in Folsom, CA.

As a person who loves black and grey ink. I found Ms. Ting and was fortunate enough to book some time. I wanted my artist to take my clues and build an interpretation. She NAILED IT. I cannot speak any higher to the standard of the shop, the cleanliness, the vibe, the music, they always made sure I was comfortable. Ms. Ting is creative, passionate and a diligent worker. A true professional at her craft. 5 out of 5 stars

10/28/2022Highly recommend going to ms. Ting,my wife has gotten multiple tattoos from her and we get stopped almost everywhere we go so people can admire and complement her tattoos. There professional and very caring on how they treat there clients. If you want real art and not just another tattoo stop by! She gets booked for up to a year in advance but it's 100% worth the wait and every penny you spend!

11/14/2024After seeing Ms. Ting's dog portrait portfolio, I knew she was the right artist for a tattoo of my beloved pup. And after getting the first one done, I couldn't stop there. I plan to get all my pets done by her. She recently finished my second and I already have an appointment in the books. I can't say enough amazing things about her work. They are immaculate and she is so dang quick. Zero complaints from me. I think she really is the bright green hidden gem of Folsom. I've also looked at the portfolios of the other artists in her shop. They all seem really solid, which I wouldn't expect any less based on the standard Ting sets. 4/29 update - I've now got 4 lovely pet portraits. They've all healed so nicely. Just look how precious!! π»

She is the best artist. The detail is unbelievably awesome. Every time someone sees my tattoo itβs the same reaction (omg wow who did this?) not only is the work 2nd to none sheβs an awesome person too. Awesome vibe in the shop. Josh is awesome too. I highly recommend anyone to get their piece done here. Iβm from Santa Rosa and drove 164 miles to get mine done. Itβs so worth it. Canβt wait to get started on my full back piece

10/28/2020Ting and all the artists at Shanghaitattoo in Folsom are amazing artist! I remember when I was looking to get my leg sleeve done I knew I found perfect artist, but was sadden to see Ting only had a shop in Shanghai. A few months later she opens a new shop 20 minutes from me in California and knew I had to go. She did an amazing job doing my familyβs Chinese zodiacs and I couldnβt be happier. The whole experience was great from the shop, the people, and the art work itself. Itβs been about 6 months since she finished my leg sleeve and itβs healed great. Iβve been trying to come by the shop to give them some healed photos, but have been super busy. Hopefully, when I do come by we can get those photos taken and discuss about getting more work done, if sheβs not bookedπ€

Ting is an absolutely amazing artist, true professional, and just fun to work with. I was lucky enough to be referred to her by my brother who also had a remarkable experience & tattoo design that I was super impressed by. I was very concerned about doing a full sleeve & how it would all turn out. She was very patient with all of the ideas I had & helped me make the right decisions that aligned with my total vision. Iβm so grateful & happy with the finished product, I get so many compliments! Iβll never work with anyone else & couldnβt be happier I chose her. Thank you again Ting!

10/28/2022This 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!!

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!
