The Arcade Oceanside Tattoo — Local services in Oceanside

I recently went to Frontline Tattoo for a cover-up and was highly impressed with the work done there and due to unavailability they referred me to their sister-shop Oceanside Tattoo, which is closer to where I now live in Oceanside.

Oceanside Tattoo has just recently opened and located right in the mix of the city. Parking is easily available within the blocks perimeter and there are plenty of things to do if you have a wait. To avoid waiting unnecessarily, always try to schedule an appointment ahead of time.

The inside is clean and they're still in the process of decorating, so it's going to look even better. The staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. There's also a computer to do tattoo design research on and the walls are filled with artwork to inspire your creativity. I also personally liked how their bathroom was immaculate and that speaks volumes to me about what's important to a business.

So far I've had work done from Myles and Clark and they are both excellent at their craft and I trust them completely to do my work. Very professional and experienced artists in here!

Need a piercing or some artwork on you? I highly recommend Oceanside Tattoo and they do...

I’m very disappointed checking this place out for the very first time since it was going to be my very first tattoo ever. I had called to get some information about the store & the nice gentlemen told me to come-in to schedule an appointment & whatsoever so I was like “ Ok , Perfect ! “. I walk in, a the lady with short curly hair told me what I wanted so I told her…..she said for something very small they can easily take me in that day & Squeeze me before 4 o ‘clock since I had work & told her that. I was given orders to wait for a text message 20 min prior to show-time. I waited 1 1/2 hours close to 3 p.m. I walked-in asking her if I’m very close to being next & told me “ Yeah man , I still got 10 people ahead of you , I won’t get you in till 4 p.m. Sorry, You’re just gonna have to come in another day “ AS IF SHE WASN’T COOPERATING WITH ME BEFORE, TO SQUEEZE ME IN. Once she was working with the military folks as I came in , she totally switched up her attitude not wanting to schedule or anything. I had very high hopes for this place as being very Beautiful inside but I come to realize they’re more focused on the folks who get stationed down here since there the most...

Both my boyfriend and I went in here for Friday the 13th tattoos and even though we knew it was going to be a long wait they went ahead and took our names down and told us that they would call us when it was our turn. We continued to have dinner around the area and wait and we NEVER received a phone call to either one of our phones. Not to mention that we drove almost 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back for this. SUPER DISAPPOINTED. Honestly we would not have drove all the way there and waited and then drove all the way back home for nothing. Obviously this place does not know how to treat their customers or even have the consideration to give us a heads up of what was going on. This review doesn't even deserve one star because we never were even seen by an artist after waiting more than six hours to hear from them! That was SUPER UNPROFESSIONAL!!! We will not ever be going to the shop again because of how inconsiderate they treated us. There is thousands of tattoo places out there and I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend going to this place especially on...
