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, 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. 😃

  • I 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

    Shanghai Tattoo is just straight awesome! Joshua and Ting have a great studio and it shows by the quality of work, artistic creativity, and great atmosphere. They definitely take care of their clients and are extremely professional and super friendly. Ting is so efficient and detailed when working and the end results are outstanding. I looked around, read reviews, visited multiple other artists but I just kept going back to Shanghai Tattoo and ultimately booked with them and I am really glad I did. I had an older upper arm piece that I wanted to continue into a full sleeve. Ting did a great job extending down my forearm and the finished piece looks absolutely great. Don’t overlook this studio. Remember, you get what you pay for and Shanghai Tattoo delivers! Thank you Ting and Joshua! Looking forward to working with you again!

  • 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.

    Ting is an absolutely amazing artist, true professional, and just fun to work with. I was lucky enough to be referred to her by my brother who also had a remarkable experience & tattoo design that I was super impressed by. I was very concerned about doing a full sleeve & how it would all turn out. She was very patient with all of the ideas I had & helped me make the right decisions that aligned with my total vision. I’m so grateful & happy with the finished product, I get so many compliments! I’ll never work with anyone else & couldn’t be happier I chose her. Thank you again Ting!

    I 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.

  • 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.

    Highly recommend going to ms. Ting,my wife has gotten multiple tattoos from her and we get stopped almost everywhere we go so people can admire and complement her tattoos. There professional and very caring on how they treat there clients. If you want real art and not just another tattoo stop by! She gets booked for up to a year in advance but it's 100% worth the wait and every penny you spend!

    After 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!! 😻
