Officer, we’re guilty… of being voted Best Tattoo Shop in the South Coast!😱🚔🚔🚔🚨🚨🚨

Thank you to everyone who voted for Whaling City Tattoo Co. in the South Coast Community’s Choice Awards! We seriously couldn’t have done this without all of your love and support. 🖤

Community's Choice Awards USA TODAY

08/19/2026

WE WON! 🏆 Whaling City Tattoo Co. was voted Best Tattoo Studio in the 2026 SouthCoast Community’s Choice Awards!!

We took over this little shop in January, and the fact that few months later we’re standing here with this award is honestly insane to us🖤

We’ve put so much into making Whaling City our own cozy shop and building something we’re genuinely proud of. To have the South Coast show up for us like this so early into our journey means more than we can say.

Thank you to every single person who voted, booked an appointment, recommended us, shared our work, came to an event, or simply rooted for us. And thank you to our little Whaling City crew for putting so much love into this place. 🖤

And of course, thank you USA TODAY and the SouthCoast Community’s Choice Awards!

Only 8 months in. We’re just getting started. 🏆🖤

We were organically nominated for the South Coast Community Choice Awards in our very first year under new ownership — and that honestly means the world to us!

Voting is open until May 29th, and supporters can vote once per day, every day, which makes a huge difference for small businesses like ours.

Vote under:
Services → Tattoo Studio → Whaling City Tattoo Company

Thank you for supporting our small, woman-owned shop and helping us continue to grow. We appreciate all of you more than you know. 🤍
