Reviews and reputation
Quick reading: The only aggregate rating used here is Google’s 4.8 from 179 reviews, checked 9 November 2026.[1] A Reader “Best of San Diego 2024” mention on the official homepage is reported as the shop’s announcement.[2]
Google Business Profile
As of 9 November 2026, the Google Business Profile for Remington Tattoo Parlor showed a 4.8 rating from 179 reviews.[1] That is a large enough sample to be more stable than a handful of scores, but it is still a platform average: reviews can be added, edited or removed, and a 4.8 is not a government grade or a magazine panel.
This wiki reports the aggregate figure and the date it was checked. It does not quote individual Google reviews, because a fair summary would need the full set, not a handful chosen for color, and because review text can change after this snapshot.
The Reader announcement
The official homepage announces that Remington Tattoo Parlor was voted Best of San Diego 2024 by the San Diego Reader.[2] An independent copy of the Reader’s 2024 winners list was not retrieved for this build (a previously checked URL returned an error). Until that list is on file, this wiki treats the honor as the shop’s own announcement, not as a independently verified placing, and it does not invent a category name beyond what the homepage states.
Yelp
A Yelp listing whose name, address and phone match the shop exists, but the official pages reviewed for confirmation did not link it. It is therefore recorded as likely on the profiles article and is not used here as a star rating or as a sameAs profile.
How to read shop slogans
The official about page has called Remington “one of the Best Tattoo Shops in San Diego for a decade.”[3] That is marketing language on the shop’s own site. It is not the same kind of evidence as a dated third-party list or a large review sample. This wiki reports the phrase as the shop’s, and it points readers to the dated Google average and to the Reader announcement, each with its limits, instead of repeating “best” in the voice of the encyclopedia.
What a review count can and cannot tell you
A shop with seven resident artists and two guests is, in effect, several practices under one roof.[4] A single average across all of them says something about the shop’s overall service, cleanliness and front desk, but little about a particular artist. For that reason this wiki points readers to each artist’s official portfolio rather than to an aggregate when the question is which artist to choose.
The County’s inspections of body art facilities are a different kind of record from consumer reviews. They check sterilization, training and paperwork against the Safe Body Art Act. No inspection result for this shop was located for this build, so none is reported.[5][6]
Common questions
What is the Google rating?
4.8 from 179 reviews, checked 9 November 2026.
Did the San Diego Reader name the shop in 2024?
The official homepage says so. This wiki has not independently retrieved the winners list.
Why aren’t individual reviews quoted?
Because a dated average is a stable fact; a handful of pulled quotes would not be.
