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.

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.

08/29/2019I had the honor of getting a tattoo done by Ms.Ting @ her original Shanghai studio in 2015. The reason behind me getting this tattoo was extremely significant and I wanted to make sure I found only the most awesome & talented artist. I told myself If I could not find the right fit, I would just accept not getting the work done. Upon entering the Shanghai Tattoo Studio there was an immediately welcoming vibe in the air. Very hip, creative and professional. I could feel every artist in the studio was extremely passionate about their work. After looking around at all the awesome in this studio, I sat down with Ms. Ting to discuss my idea. She was so chill and confident, telling me what would work and what wouldn't in part with using her own creative spark to bring everything to the next level. I knew immediately she was the perfect artist! I could go on and on with this story but I feel you get my point. Hands down Ting is best artist I have ever come across and I feel proud and honored to have a tattoo done by her. To this day it still looks so clean and has not faded in the slightest. I am confident that any artist that Ting brings aboard is also very talented. I am so happy for Ting & Joshua, it's beautiful what they have created. If you are looking to get a tattoo on the west coast, or even in the USA for that matter I would 100% recommend Ting. She is so LIT. Also if you find yourself in SH, definitely stop by her original studio and give it some love. This team totally deserves all the success they have had thus far! Much Love For Ms.Ting's Shanghai Tattoo!

Ting 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 family’s Chinese zodiacs and I couldn’t be happier. The whole experience was great from the shop, the people, and the art work itself. It’s been about 6 months since she finished my leg sleeve and it’s healed great. I’ve 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 she’s not booked🤞

10/28/2021Ting 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.

10/28/2021As 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
