Press and awards
Quick reading: The shop’s homepage announces a San Diego Reader Best of San Diego 2024 vote, attributed here as the shop’s announcement.[1] The main independent profile is a December 2017 SDVoyager interview with owner Terry Ribera.[2]
San Diego Reader, Best of San Diego 2024
The official homepage carries an announcement headed “Voted Best of San Diego Reader 2024!” saying that Remington Tattoo Parlor was voted Best of San Diego 2024 by the San Diego Reader, thanking clients and friends, and linking to “the article.”[1] An independent copy of the 2024 winners list was not retrieved for this reference, so the result is attributed to the shop’s announcement rather than stated as a verified fact. The category in which the shop was voted is not specified in the announcement text reviewed.
SDVoyager interview, December 2017
SDVoyager published an interview with Terry Ribera on 20 December 2017 under the title “Meet Terry Ribera of Remington Tattoo Parlor + Gallery in North Park.”[2] It is the main independent source for the shop’s early history: the July 2011 opening, the first room of just under 600 square feet, the building purchase across the street, the typewriter name, and Ribera’s earlier work at Master Tattoo and Avalon Tattoo. SDVoyager interviews are based on what the subject says, so this wiki treats them as an on-the-record account rather than as investigative reporting.
Art shows
The shop’s own archive includes posts about Terry Ribera as a featured artist at “Fiction: 2nd Annual Portrait Invitational” and about the Wonderlust Art Show at Modern Eden gallery in San Francisco.[3][4] Jasmine Worth’s official page says her oil paintings have been shown in galleries around the world.[5] These are self-reported on the shop’s site; no exhibition catalogues were retrieved.
Self-descriptions
The shop calls itself “one of the Best Tattoo Shops in San Diego for a decade” on its about page and “among the most original in the city” on its shop page.[6][7] Those are marketing statements. They are reported as the shop’s words and are not counted as awards.
Ratings
The one numeric reputation measure used on this site is the Google Business Profile average: 4.8 from 179 reviews when checked on 9 November 2026.[8] See reviews and reputation for how that figure is handled.
What was looked for and not found
This reference looked for, and did not find in the material reviewed, a Wikipedia article about the shop, newspaper coverage beyond the Reader announcement, or television features. Their absence is not evidence that no other coverage exists. If an independent article is found, it will be added with a citation and logged on the change log.
