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.

10/28/2021As 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

10/28/2022Decided 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.

Ting and her husband Josh took real good care of me. The team here at Shanghai Tattoo was patient and flexible insuring I got exactly what I asked for. I initially went in for a consultation and described what I was looking for bringing references to Ms. Ting. She wasted no time picking the perfect artist for the job @tattoobytala (ig) who studied the references briefly and custom designed my piece using his own style and expertise. Prior to the first session I had the opportunity to review the design and modify as needed. Tala is a master tattoo artist and his work is beautiful. He has a very soft touch, very precise. These guys are fun to hang out with and I enjoyed the whole experience. Spent about 20 hours on my back in 4 sessions with a 2 week break for healing after first session which was the lining. The time flew by. Will be returning for more tattoos.

10/14/2024The 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. 😃

10/28/2021Amazing Experience! My wife and I were recently tattooed by Tala at Shanghai Tattoo and I can’t recommend the experience enough! When I called to discuss my design, I was scheduled for consultation quickly. This part of the process was really good for me as Tala and Ms Ting discussed details of putting my ideas on my body. The actual experience getting tattooed was even better. Tala, does quick, clean very professional work while bringing your idea to life. I’m very happy with my new tattoo and my wife’s! In addition, the shop is in a very nice two story building in historic Folsom. Every thing about this place makes me want to go back. And I will Requested style: Chinese dragon Money cat Cleanliness: The whole place is very clean.

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!!

08/28/2023After 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!! 😻

05/28/2023Ting 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!!

09/02/2019I 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

12/28/2022Amazing 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.
