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.

07/02/2025Alex killed it. I was a walk in, last minute, knew exactly what I wanted. I also had several work calls before so I took one as he was drawing it up and another as he made the stencil. Great attitude, insane skill and work. Can’t talk him up enough. For a walk in, WITH FONT, He killed it. I can’t send out an email without a 25 hour notice. This man in 1 hour was able to draw exactly what I wanted and execute it perfectly.

06/11/2025Came here for my first tat and had a near-ideal experience. Everyone who works there is super helpful and friendly, especially Theresa. I'm quite frankly amazed she's only an apprentice with the remarkable quality and efficiency of her work. She's very sweet and made an intimidating experience quick and easy for me. I will definitely be coming back and recommending friends.

05/13/2025Forgot to write this when I initially got my work done here but I had an amazing and professional experience here. I’ve been to several different shops around Sacramento and the way the owners and employees conduct themselves here shows they are real artists and not just someone who fell into tattooing. I hate going into a shop and feeling like the artists are just someone off the street who picked up a tattoo gun and stuck with it, I was tattooed by the apprentice of the owner ‘Gabi’ and she did an amazing job and with no mistakes and using they’re healing guide sheet my tattoo (chest) healed better than any of them I’ve had before . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
