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.

  • The 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. 😃

    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.

    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!!

  • Tough to put into words the experience we had at Ms. Ting’s Shanghai Tattoo. It was a very emotional and sensitive time for my wife and I as she got a memorial tattoo for our son who recently passed away. Christian Urias was particularly responsive to her ideas and created and absolute beautiful piece of artwork on her arm. We are extremely grateful that this shop is in our town and their care and professionalism was so appreciated. We will return for more work very soon.

  • 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!

    Amazing 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.

    I followed her work on Instagram since she was in Shanghai. I admired the beauty, detail, and realism in her art. When I happened to be in Folsom, I stopped by and visited the shop. We talked about the design I was thinking, it was sketched out and I was quoted the price. The price was higher than I had expected but well worth the cost once it was finished. The shop is clean, welcoming, and knowledgeable with lots of art for ink-spiration. I was covering an old tattoo on my upper arm with a half sleeve. The original tattoo did not have a great deal of personal meaning and the tattoo was not highest quality. I had not had any ink done in ten plus years. Over three sessions, May 17th, June 7th and June 28th, I watched the old tattoo disappear. I would come the shop in the afternoon, usually having better luck finding parking just before noon. I spent about three to four hours in the chair for each session. The tattoo is AMAZING! I love the artwork she inked onto my arm. I now have a beautiful, meaningful piece of art to show off and carry with me.

  • 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.
