Shanghai Tattoo

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 and a skilled piercer, 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.

  • Quick, easy, and very understanding. Listened to exactly what I wanted and just ran with it. Facility was really nice and clean, I will definitely be coming here a lot and recommend it to anyone who is looking. Yes their wait times are long but you have it for life so just be patient; it's worth the wait.

    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

    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!

  • 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.

    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!

    I started a sleeve with Ting at her Shanghai shop and have been slowly finishing it in the new Sacramento spot. She is one of the most talented tattoo artists on the planet and holds the same super high standard for this location too. Put your trust in this shop with true artists - you will be glad you did.

    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

  • 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!!

    Ting is one of the most amazing world-talents to come to Northern California. She is not simply a tattoo artist but an artist who does tattoos. The range of styles is limitless, whether you want old school or traditional Japanese or ultra-realism portraiture. The shop is immaculate, the artists are professional and friendly, the prices are fair, and the tattoos are world-class and will hold up for years. You'd be a fool to go anywhere else.
