Testimonials:

"I got a tattoo here from Marty. He was extremely nice and funny. He was so patient and didn't mind having to redraw my design  like 3 times. This was my least painful tattoo. I barely felt it, he has such a soft hand and he entertained me the entire time so I didn't pay much attention to it. He gave me a decent quote. Sort of pricey but, you pay for the quality. It's been about 2 months and my tattoo has healed beautifully and it's honestly my favorite piece so far. The shop was clean and everything he used on me was brand new. They also have private rooms if you're not comfortable with getting tattooed in front of people."

"So grateful I found this shop and had my very first tattoo by Ronan. I had walked in to another shop nearby, and was ignored, so I left. Ronan greeted me kindly and treated me with great respect and understanding. Being a woman if 56, this is rare. He took the time to listen to my concerns and put them all to rest. I did not get a large piece, yet he was careful and took his time. I could not have been happier. I have recommended him to several friends and clients, and look forward to getting another piece done! Ronan is truly a gem!"

"Marty over there at Kings Tattoo is the man to see. He has done some traditional/old school work on my husband that turned out amazing!  I really like the open feel and vibe of the shop. This place is definitely a comfortable place to sit for a few hours."
"I've been a patron of Marty Conklin's since my first tattoo six years ago. Since then he has done all but one of my 14 tattoos. 
He's beyond talented, fun to spend time with and a great collaborator! I love being able to take a partial idea to him and watch it become reality. 
I've followed Marty from his previous home at another shop in PB to his new home at The Kings Head. Couldn't be happier with his new spot or the vibe in the place. Ronan & John are good people and their work is stunning. 
I will continue to sit in Marty's chair and refer my friends and family!! 
.... maybe I need a punch card..."


"This is the shop, the energy, attitude, team work and artists are amazing! Second to none, if your gonna put a tattoo on your body for life, check this place out for something that will last forever! Thanks Ronan Harvey"  

"Tattoos are forever and you definitely want to spend time thinking about it before you get one.  Coming from San Francisco their are a dime a dozen hipsters who do work, yet I chose to make the trip to San Diego just to see Ronan for my work when he was at Avalon Tattoo and now the King's Head Tattoo.  Ronan is intuitive and perceptive and I really felt that he listened to what I wanted and hit the nail on the head with the art work he came up with for my cover up.  More than that he is a likeable guy, easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable, unlike many of the makers out there that have something to prove and think you should too.  I am proud of the work Ronan gave me and when I have the chance to finish up my massive back piece I will head down there again."  


"I have had the fortunate chance of knowing Ronan for over ten years, and being one of his many repeat customers during that time. As always, his artwork blows me away, as does his true talent to turn any object into a remarkable tattoo. His true compassion for his clients makes one feel at ease, and his witty humor made my latest 3 hour sitting pass by in no time. I am honored to have his artwork on my body, and couldn't be happier with my latest ink."
