Overground Tattoo

What can I say, Julianna was amazing! She was very funny and laid back but knew what she was doing. I’m kind of a wuss when it comes to tattoos but how she did it it was very painless! Best tattoo experience ever. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Julianna is an awesome person and that really comes out in her work. She really has a passion for tattooing and it shows. Great quality and detail over a variety of styles. Very professional setup and advice.
The time flys right by because I always have a blast just chatting with her. She has a light touch and great control.
I am so glad that my cousin recommended her. I will be back often!

I came here to get tattooed by Julianna. I’m actually friends with her and she is rad AF. She’s super funny and sweet. She doesn’t get offended or shocked easily so you can roll up and say the craziest shit or ask for the craziest tattoo and she won’t be judgmental or surprised. She does not tattoo penises though, I had to ask. Sorry boys. Although Julianna is down to earth and jokes around a lot, she is professional and takes tattooing seriously. She was incredibly patient with me when I was choosing a font and made so many suggestions in regards to my piece that I didn’t even think of.
This shop does not offer piercings and she goes by appointment only. I prefer this type of setting because you won’t see creepers and tweakers hanging out in here. The shop is clean compared to other shops in that area. She also does do cosmetic tattooing so bring on the uglies.

My artist Gabe is currently tattooing at this shop. I love him, and will follow him wherever! The shop is quiet, calm & easy to find.

Checking back in after now having had two pieces done here. Love it! Not at all intimidating like some shops can be, super laid back atmosphere and awesome work. This will be my ‘go to’ shop from now on!

Best customer service I have ever encountered and was totally kept updated and relaxed during the process of getting my tattoo done !!! Thank you Evan for the amazing art work

Juliana is amazing. From her personality, to her prices, to her attention to detail.
My wife & I both had work done by her. When ever we go back to SD, believe we will be getting another session in with her. I still have about 6 hours of time left, & am out of the state, & she is going to honor it once I get back in town. Juliana & the shop itself are both amazing.

Was really looking forward to getting a tattoo that meant a lot to me, but it didn’t exactly come out the way that I wanted to. Let me rewind to my pre appointment experience:
I bought a voucher from Living Social, and when I called, the lady was very nice on the phone, and got me into an appointment within two weeks, which is good, considering I had a ‘coupon’. When I went in, the guy at the front desk was very antisocial and didn’t really greet me, which was weird because the lady that I talked to was so nice. My tattoo artist Chris, however, was very nice which you don’t get a lot of from tattoo artists.
I bought the $ 45 dollars for a one hour session, but my tattoo was so simple that it only took about 10 minutes. I felt like it was a little rushed, and with 50 minutes left over, I felt like I wasted my money and he didn’t ask if I wanted something else done to use up the time. The voucher also came with tattoo wax and it was never offered to me. Chris told me that if I had any issues with my tattoo, I could call to get it fixed… I noted that in my head.
Even though it was a quick tattoo, it seemed like it looked perfect. As it healed, however, there were many imperfections as the lines on my cross weren’t straight and some areas were lighter than others. Remembering that he said I could call to get it fixed, I called and the same lady answers the phone, however, when I told her I had an issue with my tattoo, it seems she was pretty annoyed. When I talked to Chris, he sounded pretty annoyed as well, and seemed a little too busy to schedule another appointment, as our schedules wouldn’t match up, so I gave up. I’m just going to get it covered up because instead of being a tattoo that meant a lot to me, it’s imperfect so I’m not really feeling it anymore. I’d much rather go somewhere else that’ll actually take their time giving me a tattoo and use up the whole hour, or at least offer me something else to get my moneys worth, even if I bought it with a coupon. The only reason why I’m giving 3 stars is because everyone was nice (except for the receptionist when I walked it) and it was extremely clean.

I’ve had a few other tattoo artists, and Ms. Justo is hands down not only the most professional I’ve encountered, but innately the most talented as well… it’s crazy how fast she can whip some stuff up! Aside from that, I’ve been to other places that places that run you through a gauntlet for weeks or months before you ever even see the chair… here the focus is on your *tattoo*.
The shop is bright, clean, and definitely the most welcoming I’ve been to! What I love most about her is that she gets straight to the point and does EXCELLENT work in an amazingly short amount of time– She doesn’t take longer or try to modify your piece just to get more money out of you.
She truly enjoys what she does, and if you’d like to enjoy your tattoo for a long, long, time, you just GOTTA come here!

I had a tattoo done by Chris Sellars, he is the best… I went in with a sketch I had made of a sugar skull. I love my new Tattoo. He made some suggestions that I would have never thought of and made it look amazing! I appreciate the time he took to improve my sketch it came out a million times better: D. He is really into what he does and is very talented. Chris is very friendly and a lot of fun to talk too. I’ve been to a few places where I just walk out because the tattoo artist is a jerk. Not at Overground Tattoo, I recommend you ask for Chris next time you want a tattoo, trust me you won’t regret it.

I had an appt with Chris Sellars which he is the sh! t by the way! I had my kids names put on my arms, a tribal piece on my chest and a touch up on something I wanted cleaned up. Needless to say everything turned out perfect, even better than I had pictured it. The all day special is the way to go and they are the cheapest in San Diego period! I did a lot of research before I even booked my appt. Overground Tattoo is the best tattoo shop I’ve been to in the country and I will be going back to get everything else I want to done. Thanks Chris, you fuggin rock!

Ms Justo is BOMB!
I bought a deal a while ago from i want to say Groupon, but don’t quote me. It more of like an interview because i had some work i needed finished. Without hesitation she said, «No problem».
Her rates are awesome, and she super dooper friendly and can work with any schedule you have or need.

I have been out to Overground twice now and have an upcoming appointment for my third piece of Overground artwork. I have never felt uncomfortable or out of place like I have at other shops. I love the flexibility provided by the hours and will continue to bring my business here! Thanks guys!

Julianna is the best. I love her work and attitude. Everyone else is great too. Let’s just say I along with my wife are going to life long customers.

Julianna is an artist. She makes the vision of her customers come true. I now have three tattoos from her, and have loved every single one. Thanks for making this 40 plus woman newbie feel comfortable and making my dream tattoos come true. Thank you!

Julianna is one of the best artists I’ve been to… Real professional and got some of the best work I’ve ever had stuck on my body there… If you want a tattoo and want it done right … MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!!

As a tattoo newbie at age 64 I was a little apprehensive. Made an appointment with Thomas and he totally kicked-​ass. Answered all my questions without making me feel like a total dork, did the ink perfect, and made me feel relaxed in their very clean shop. He also gave me a pretty good break on the time charged for his work. I could not be more satisfied. I love my tattoo.
The only problem I can think of is that now I want more!

Julianna is an amazing artist love going to her and she definitely does great work and the pricing is decent won’t go to anyone else

As a memorial to a friend who recently passed away several of us decided to get the same tattoo. Joi very graciously agreed to accommodate our request! I have seen 4 so far and they are all GREAT! I had mine done a week ago and I am very pleased! Joi has done an awesome job :) The shop is clean and bright! I will certainly recommend Overground Tattoo and Joi to anyone who asks about my tatt! (RIP Crystal)

Overground Tattoo is a decent shop hidden in an industrial area of El Cajon. There have been a lot of staffing changes over the past few years it’s hard to keep track of where the artists go. But makes you wonder why so many have been in and out in such little time. Haven’t been back in a long time so I don’t know what it’s like now
