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.

10/28/2021I got my chest tattooed by Ms. Ting last year. I had to book my appointment months in advance, but she is well worth the wait. She’s an absolute master at her craft, and very professional too.

10/14/2024This 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!!

AMAZING PLACE! Had a full leg sleeve done by Tala. Been wanting it for years and finally took the plunge. So glad I did! The design Tala came up with was simply beautiful, the color scheme he chose was eye-catching, and the finished product is stunning. Exactly what I wanted. Tala is ridiculously talented and such a wonderful, kind soul. The shop itself is great too - love their new location, and everyone is super friendly and talented. Truly one of the best tattoo experiences I have had. I've already booked my next one 🙂

09/02/2019I 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.

10/28/2021Ting 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🤞

10/28/2020I 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
