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.

Shanghai Tattoo is just straight awesome! Joshua and Ting have a great studio and it shows by the quality of work, artistic creativity, and great atmosphere. They definitely take care of their clients and are extremely professional and super friendly. Ting is so efficient and detailed when working and the end results are outstanding. I looked around, read reviews, visited multiple other artists but I just kept going back to Shanghai Tattoo and ultimately booked with them and I am really glad I did. I had an older upper arm piece that I wanted to continue into a full sleeve. Ting did a great job extending down my forearm and the finished piece looks absolutely great. Don’t overlook this studio. Remember, you get what you pay for and Shanghai Tattoo delivers! Thank you Ting and Joshua! Looking forward to working with you again!

10/28/2022Highly 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!

08/04/2023AMAZING PLACE! Had a full leg sleeve done by Tala. Been wanting it for years and finally took the plunge. So glad I did! The design Tala came up with was simply beautiful, the color scheme he chose was eye-catching, and the finished product is stunning. Exactly what I wanted. Tala is ridiculously talented and such a wonderful, kind soul. The shop itself is great too - love their new location, and everyone is super friendly and talented. Truly one of the best tattoo experiences I have had. I've already booked my next one 🙂

10/14/2024Found this spot and they were super accommodating to me and my buddy as a last minute walk in to get some quick work done. Very nice folks, clean shop, great work, couldn't have asked for more. Definitely would recommend.

This was my first tattoo and I searched for years to find an artist who truly understood the concepts of Asian traditional art. Ms. Ting is so skilled and such a cool person to talk with too. The tat was designed after talking with me about the concept I had in mind and was far better than I had even imagined it. Since it was a full sleeve, a lot of the work was free-hand and you would never know it! I will return for future ink!!

08/28/2023both Ting and her staff are awesome people. her work is absolutely amazing. she is one of the best that ive ever seen. i highly recommend her. she a little more expensive, and has a long waiting list, but it is worth it.

10/28/2022I went to get my belly piercing swapped out and the piercer was extremely unprofessional. She kept talking badly about other shops and said that her stuff was better quality and that she was a better piercer. Her jewelry is the only jewelry I’ve ever had a reaction to, which is crazy after she said that she “only uses the best quality jewelry.” Furthermore, I spent $60 just to get the jewelry SWAPPED OUT for a piece that has chips in the hoop she put in. I would not recommended coming here unless you want a condescending piercer overcharging you for bad quality jewelry.
