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.

I had the honor of getting a tattoo done by Ms.Ting @ her original Shanghai studio in 2015. The reason behind me getting this tattoo was extremely significant and I wanted to make sure I found only the most awesome & talented artist. I told myself If I could not find the right fit, I would just accept not getting the work done. Upon entering the Shanghai Tattoo Studio there was an immediately welcoming vibe in the air. Very hip, creative and professional. I could feel every artist in the studio was extremely passionate about their work. After looking around at all the awesome in this studio, I sat down with Ms. Ting to discuss my idea. She was so chill and confident, telling me what would work and what wouldn't in part with using her own creative spark to bring everything to the next level. I knew immediately she was the perfect artist! I could go on and on with this story but I feel you get my point. Hands down Ting is best artist I have ever come across and I feel proud and honored to have a tattoo done by her. To this day it still looks so clean and has not faded in the slightest. I am confident that any artist that Ting brings aboard is also very talented. I am so happy for Ting & Joshua, it's beautiful what they have created. If you are looking to get a tattoo on the west coast, or even in the USA for that matter I would 100% recommend Ting. She is so LIT. Also if you find yourself in SH, definitely stop by her original studio and give it some love. This team totally deserves all the success they have had thus far! Much Love For Ms.Ting's Shanghai Tattoo!

10/28/2022I 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

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!

08/14/2024Did 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.

07/17/2019Ting is an amazing artist, and the only one I would recomend. over the passt years she did 6 of my 8 tattoos as well as several tattoos for my friends and i regret that I did not do all with her. The lastet tattoo was a portrait of my dad, which looks 100% like him. My family and friends are still shocked to see how real his smile is..and it make me happy to look at him every day. Thank you Ting ?

05/06/2019Highly 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!
