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.

  • 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.

    Beautiful shop love the aesthetic. The owners were awesome and made you feel welcome, it did not feel like a cool guy contest in this tattoo shop. They also have some very talented artists working here definitely go check the shop out. I was tattooed be Levi Miller, I wanted something pretty weird and he drew it up exactly as I wanted it and tattooed it perfectly had a great experience.

    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.

    She is the best artist. The detail is unbelievably awesome. Every time someone sees my tattoo it’s the same reaction (omg wow who did this?) not only is the work 2nd to none she’s an awesome person too. Awesome vibe in the shop. Josh is awesome too. I highly recommend anyone to get their piece done here. I’m from Santa Rosa and drove 164 miles to get mine done. It’s so worth it. Can’t wait to get started on my full back piece

    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.

  • 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🤞

    Ting 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!!

    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.

  • This is the ONLY place I’ll go the get my tattoos done! It’s very clean, the staff is great, and very inviting! Ms Ting did a stellar job on my tattoos! She has freehanded a couple of pieces on my and I couldn’t be happier. Her artistic eye is out of this world 👽! Be sure to check out there Instagram page to see the work that comes out of there from the other artists as well. You will not be disappointed!

    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.

    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.
