Keith Duggan’s Ink Dynasty

Very very impressed went to get a spur of the moment tattoo yesterday with my sister and a guy named Jared helped us he did exactly what we wanted and did a really really good job we couldn’t be more happy with our tattoos… Jared does great work and it was a reasonable price!!! I was really nervous to go to a different tattoo shop because mine was booked up for the day, and they made us feel really comfortable and the environment was really clean.

These guys were all so nice. We made an appointment the day before on a Friday to have 5 of us get some spur-​of-​the-​moment smaller work done. Scotty, Martyn, & either Jake or Jared busted all of 5 of us out in less than 2 hours on a Saturday afternoon. The receptionist was super friendly too and nobody seemed to mind that my hyper 2 year old was in the waiting area. Their prices were extremely reasonable too. I’m so going back for my next work. GREAT people there.

Ink Dynasty is a professional, clean Tattoo shop. I would give 10 stars if I could. Keith Duggan is a great person and an amazing artist. I was in Wednesday and can’t quit looking at my gorgeous Mermaid he did for me. If you want quality… visit this shop. You won’t be disappointed.

As soon as you walk into the shop you know your In Awesome hands! I love nothing more than walking into a tattoo shop and smelling cleansers! The receptionist was super friendly and introduced me to Dev the piercer, she was truly amazing and answered all of my questions. Her personality alone makes me want more piercings! She was super gentle and very professional, I had dermal a’s done and she walked me thru the whole process. I can’t say enough positive things about her! Also her room was beyond clean, it was such an amazing experience. You can feel that she loves and believes in what she does and she even answered questions for me weeks after my piercings. For anyone in Southern California and beyond, please please choose this shop!

I found this shop while visiting Pismo with the boyfriend for the weekend. We stopped in to check out their work and hopefully get some work done. They had some really nice portfolio’s. So, I showed them what I wanted, they gave me a quote and said they could do it that day. I agreed, and gave them my phone number. They said they would give me a call when their artist was ready. I waited all night for the call. THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME! Not even to apologize, and try and set up a time for the next day. RUDE! Have some professionalism and stick to your word.

My daughter and I got piercings by Dev. She’s the best… so knowledgeable and patient with all of my questions. I won’t go anywhere else! Thanks Dev!

My daughter and I had our piercings done here by Dev. The shop was great. very clean and everyone is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable right away. Dev is the best. Not only is she very gentle and knowledgeable, she has been awesome during my healing process as well. I highly recommend going and seeing Dev for any piercings. I will never go to anyone else!

Got my right nipple pierced today by Devra she was awesome the shop was nice clean. And she also explained how to care it during the healing process thumbs-​up for Devra:)

I can not give a 5 star review to a business which I have not tried. The one star down grade was for the service. The young lady who was checking folks in made me feel as if I was not special. But the line out the door also said it did not matter.

Without a doubt one of the finest shops on the Central Coast. There are some talented artists working there but my philosophy is that if you’re going to a top shop you may as well get your ink from the top artist. Long before Keith comes anywhere near you with a tattoo gun he’ll spend as much time as you want talking to you about your upcoming tattoo. Keith wants you to be happy with your design before a single line touches your skin. Keith is always in demand and it can be a bit of a wait to get an appointment, but you’ve only got one skin so who cares if you have to wait a couple of extra weeks if you’re getting one of the most conscientious and talented artists on the coast? Again, he’s got some talented people working in the shop, but you deserve the best of the best, right?

This was my first experience with a tattoo or tattoo shop. I’ll admit, I was a little nervous, but in just a matter of minutes after walking through the door, I knew this was the right spot.
Very friendly staff and spotless clean.
Had to come back the next day to talk to artist Scotty Osburn. When I did I told him the four things I wanted in my tattoo and left the rest to him. He came back with a sketch, took a bit for it to sink in, when it did, I said lets do it.
It was everything I wanted and so much more. I would highly recommend Scotty and Ink Dynasty. If I ever get another one, Scotty will be the one that does it.

Got my septum pierced by Chavez. He is very professional and personable. Any questions or concerns I have, he always has an answer and is willing to help. As a nurse I appreciate how clean and organized he is too. Thanks!

Got some ink at Ink Dynasty today. The first thing I noticed was how clean the shop like and yes, even smelled! This is important to me as I know the hazards of using equipment that is not clean. The artists were friendly and professional. They were all busy at the time but still took the time to say how good my piece looked. Scotty did an amazing job of retouching my 20 year old tat adding to it. He is relatively light handed and fast. He free-​handed my pattern and IMO it turned out great!
I highly recommend this shop and the artists too!

My husband, daughter and myself got tattoos here. My husband had jerrod do my LAPD badge in black and grey. It came out beautiful! I had Steven and he did a vintage style little girl on a swing. Gorgeous! Love the colors we choose together. My daughter had a flowers with the rebel alliance in the middle, Steven did her tattoo. It came out awesome! Great place, reasonable priced, clean. Definitely going back

I got a coverup tattoo by Scotty. I Had an overall wonderful experience, and I love my tattoo. I will most definitely be coming back!

** Update post appointment! ** When you love showing off your tattoo and you get too many compliments on it to count, you know that you had a solid artist do your work. The ink has healed fast with no complications. Jared has quality materials. He tattooed me for SEVEN HOURS; he’s amazing. Keith was hilarious and kept us laughing. Jared is very easy to talk to, and I never once felt uncomfortable. I feel like getting a tattoo is such a personal experience, and Ink Dynasty really makes you feel taken care of start to finish!

Great tattoo shop! Jared Thinger did my tattoo and he was amazing! He took his time sketching out what I wanted and the finished piece looked great! He’s truly an amazing artist!
I do recommend coming in early if you are a walk in and are going to get a tattoo. If you’re looking for a great tattoo this place is the place to do it, no matter the wait!

My girlfriend and I both got Japanese style tattoos done here by John Spring. Both are still works in progress, however John made the sessions very comfortable and easy. Overall the shop is very clean with a group of amazing people. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a tattoo.

If you’re looking for a good clean shop. Filled with the best artists in the hole state off California. This is the spot. Located in beautiful pismo beach. Jared Thinger is the freaking man supper light hand fast working. His ink heals up and a year later looks like you just walked out. Jared is definitely my preferred guy to go too. My wife has had steven do some work. He did in my opinion the best cover up I’ve ever seen. All around great shop Filled with great guys.

Well, my first thought walking into Ink Dynasty was, «wow, this place smells clean.» I don’t know about you, but I like that in a tattoo shop. The second thing I noticed was that there was no mass produced tattoo flash covering every open piece of wall. So far, they were batting a thousand.
It was a rainy night in Pismo (what?) so there was only one patron in, but I was told an artist would be right with me. About two minutes later, there appeared Lil Steven. This guy is probably one of the most laid back people I’ve ever met, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. I checked out his portfolio, and was very impressed by his previous work. I had an idea for my tattoo that took symbols from two images. Even though I felt like I wasn’t conveying exactly how I wanted it to look, lil Steven took it and ran. After he got through drawing, I knew it was exactly what I wanted. It’s a very simple tat, but sometimes those are the easiest to mess up.
Now to the tattoo. We placed and erased a couple of times, held my arm up in different positions, and all that jazz. Steven never once rushed me, or got frustrated with my repositioning (which I have experienced before). After we had it perfect, I laid down on the medical grade clean table, and Steven got to work. The intensity and passion that this guy tattoos with is very refreshing. He tried to keep my mind off the pain, but remained so focused on the job at hand.
Now the tattoo is done, looks absolutely amazing, and it’s exactly what I wanted. I didn’t know that something so simple could come out looking so detailed and perfect. I’m already planning to go back in to work on a draft for my half sleeve.
If you’re looking for a respectable, clean tattoo parlor, with professional artists (emphasis on the word «artists»), then Ink Dynasty is where you should be going. Kudos, guys. I know I’ll be back within a week.
