Specializes in watercolor and mini-realism.
“Created to create.” This line keeps me motivated throughout my career. I am not just an artist, but also a creator. Tattoos are more than what they appear to be. The significance of tattoo often lies behind its meaning. By hearing the stories behind each tattoo, it made me feel like I had participated and connected with people in unimaginable ways.
Specializes in black and white realism with “a hint of color”.
I found my place in the art as a figurative, mixed-media painter, exploring the representation of sensuality and fleshiness of bodies and their raw relationship with physical material. This intention is carried over onto my tattoo work, too.I’m especially interested in bodies in historical paintings and in pop culture.
Specializes in line work graphics and florals.
My dream as a kid was to become an artist, I knew it was my passion. So I followed that dream and started my art career as a fashion designer and makeup artist. I eventually redirected my artistic talent into tattoos. This is what I enjoy the most. It drives me. It’s just perfect for me.
Specializes in traditional brush ink tattoos.
I am a tattoo artist who believes the tattoo is not only a decoration of the body but also enhances the soul. I prefer old Chinese art and calligraphy as my biggest inspirations. So the effect of the gentle touch of a brush seen in ancient techniques is made with needles instead.

I've loved watching cartoons since I was a kid. Now, I turn them into tattoos, so we can remember the pure happiness of childhood.

I like the beauty in the details. The style requires perfect presentation and expression, giving each tattoo a unique story and life.
Specializes in watercolor.
My tattoo works are using utilizing soft colors, make them being abstract, and jumping out of the outlines of the tattoo. I am using multiple colors to release the signal, light up every skin. Using multiple colors to present the outlining is the spot light of my work.
Specializes in minimalist tattoo.
Children's cartoons are also very addictive. It’s fun for me to reduce designs to its simplest essence. Seemingly simple, but profound. Cartooning and tattoos are ways for us to express our inner most thoughts and to remember our purest primitive intentions as we mature into adults.
Specializes in dark style, fine lines, and retro realism.
I have been painting professionally and working in arts and design for many years. This unique style was developed through my tattoo career.
Specializes in surrealism, blackwork.
I truly believe that there’s beauty in all things in life. I draw inspiration from my daily life to incorporate into my work. I appreciate the creative freedom that comes with being a tattoo artist and it’s always heart warming to learn about the backstory behind each of the pieces.
Specializes in Black and white realism with geometric and fine line.
I’m obsessed with tattoos. It’s more than just an art form. It also provides people with different ways and styles to tell their stories and dreams, to memorize their loves and unforgettable moments in life. I feel very honored and grateful to demonstrate the pictures in my clients’ minds into this amazing art.

Being able to bring the client’s vision of art into a beautiful tattoo gives me so much joy. Art will always be my passion and it is something I will strive for in life.

A tattoo is a silent declaration, a tangible attitude, and a belief with a touch of pain. We bond through the art of tattoo, and I will do my best to satisfy every client's ideas and requirements.

I love the way color combines with each other, it is like a musical melody to me. Tattooing makes me feel like dancing in the snow.

I often use the single needle technique on my tattoos. I am especially fond of animal and portrait pieces. With this technique I’m able to showcases the precision, intricate details, and subtle realism with my organic floral designs.
Specializes in creating animal and human characters.
I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life. It's like my art.
Specializes in dark tattoos.
“You don’t choose a career, the career chooses you”. I completely live by this phrase. With the help of my mentor and my passion for art, I was able to become a tattooist. Throughout years of training, my knowledge of tattoo art expanded to many different styles, from minimalistic to colorful. However, I specialize in dark tattoos. What can be seen as creepy and a gothic-theme style interests me the most. I love my clients and what they bring forth. I would love to make your tattoo unique and create it for you, just for you.
Specialize in black and realism, color tattoos.
Becoming a tattoo artist is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My endless passion drives me to create the best tattoos I can do for my clients. I just wanna keep going, doing more narrative, creative, artistic tattoos for the rest of my life.

Who you are can be expressed through art. Tattoo acceptance is important to me because it encourages people to proudly express a part of themselves. I specialize in fineline tattoo and love to explore different styles of art. What's your favorite?
Specializes in illustrative Neo-Traditional, Japanese, and anime.
What makes me tick doesn't just clock in at 9 and leave at 5. The body of my work includes traditional media, mixed media, illustration, and design. By creating works in different mediums, it has helped me expand my creativity, knowledge, and skill set to provide better solutions for your tattoos!

As your artist, my goal will forever be to embody your favorite song/album, quote, book, movie, show, painting/drawing, TikTok, or Tumblr post (yes I still use it) and bring to life whatever ineffable feelings that may come along with it. Through my love of traditional tattoos and my passion for realism, we’ll author a unique and special design that fits who and what you are.
Specialize in fine line and color tattoos.
Art has always been my passion. I started my art career as a fine artist and illustrator, but I’ve always been captivated by tattoos. I believe tattoos are a powerful tool for reframing a memory, an event, or a story into something beautiful on your body, and no one has to know except for you.
Specializes in Ornamental and Delft Blue tattoos.
Every piece of tattoo is a form of creativity and visual expression. With years’ experience in fashion design and textile design that created patterns and prints in fabrics, I am essentially fond in collaboration of proportion and balance, and with hint of oriental influence in my tattoo style.
Specializes in small floral, fine-line, and minimalistic work.
We are in a generation where self-love and self-expression are becoming increasingly valued. I believe that tattoos are a form of self-love and self-expression. Not only do tattoos show character, but they also show strength and courage. Tattoos are a way of expressing personality, and people feel confident. I believe that tattoos help people conquer fears, gain confidence, and share stories.
Specialize in black and realism, color tattoos.
I like to make art with darker themes such as anything occult and more. I like to draw skulls or incorporate skulls into anything that may not normally have skulls.
As working years in the field of graphic design, achieving experienced skill level of drawing and lettering design, well growing my sense of beauty, I decided to step into the body creation art industry. “Commemorating this moment of yourself.”, knowing the story behind each meaningful tattoo idea keeps my inspiration coming.
My art style is highly grounded in nature, as I believe Mother Earth brings healing. I wish to translate that power onto the skin, and I am excited to share my art with those looking to express themselves through the tradition of ink.
Coming from the animation industry, I am passionate about art that tells a story or conveys a feeling. I enjoy designing characters with backstories, as well as cute random oddities, with a bold illustrative style.
A female subject combined with illustrative elements and intricate linework, my work includes whimsy and dark subject matter. Inspired by the cute and macabre, look no further for the ethereal ink you seek.
After being a K-pop fan for over a decade, I've noticed that finding a tattoo artist who's also a fan isn't very easy. So I want to be that tattoo artist for the fans. Someone they can talk about their favorite groups, biases, and any concerts they attended. I want to be that safe space for K-pop fans to express themselves. Oh also I like drawing cute animals and spooky witchy hands and stylized portraits :P
Just a sexy artist doing sexy art work!
The lines of flowers and plants are like the miracle of nature. I use tattoos as a way to make flowers bloom on your body. On journey of tattoos, I found my style and made color dark as night and flourish as flowers. The purest way and form to show the most real beauty of the world.
I like to explore the surreal and dynamic female form with a fusion of abstraction and illustration. My art style is a mixture of pop art and fantasy.
Body modification has been an interest of mine since I can remember. I feel so fortunate that I can be a person that helps others feel like their true selves, provide catharsis, boost self-esteem, and heal with something beautiful.
Sometimes I wonder why I like piercings, probably because the beauty that comes after this pain is fascinating. Something like a tattoo or piercing can bloom and shine beautifully after the pain and that is probably the meaning of pain.
Specializes in body piercing.
Body piercings are a form of self expression, and for others, are a therapeutic outlet that gets adorned with jewelry. Which ever it is, I'm proud to be a piercer during this time, where there's a wide range of jewelry styles, piercings, and advanced techniques.

Frequently Asked Questions for TATTOO
Once you’ve selected your preferred artist(s) or if you do not have a preference, you can either stop by the shop or send a detailed email with a description of the design, reference photos, what colors you like, and your preferred dates to schedule (the more flexible you are, the quicker we can schedule you in). This will enable us to process your request quickly and efficiently. We schedule appointments a maximum of three months in advance. Give us 1-3 days to reply your email, please do not send us multiple requests.
Note: Our artists are located in three locations, some do not travel between the three studios.
You must be at least 18 years of age. It is against California Law to tattoo a minor, even with parental consent. In accordance with this law we have a strict NO MINORS POLICY. Not only must you be 18, you have to prove it with a valid State or Federal Photo ID. No exceptions.
It depends on the artist, our minimum charge is $80 per person. Final price is dependent on size, detail of the design, colors and which artist you’ve chosen.
The best way to get an accurate price range is by booking a (free!) consultation with the artist — if not in person, then through a brief detailed email which we prefer the most. In order for us to quote your idea, we need to consider the subject, size, placement on the body, detail, colors, etc.
You are also welcome to come into the shop and talk to one of our managers or artists, if they’re available. We’re always more than happy to help get you the information you need.
Your artist would be showing you the sketch on the day of appointment date and will work with you on the design at your appointment time before tattooing. If necessary, the artist will edit the design for you, until you are satisfied. We always plan enough time, so please make sure what do you want to get instead of changing the whole concept of the tattoo when you come in the studio.
Yes, if you do not have a prefer artist, you are very welcome to do a walk-in section. Some of our artist are not accepting walk-ins and they are usually booked a few weeks in advance. We will always do our best to accommodate all your request.
To be honest, yes, but it is totally bearable! Each person has a different pain tolerance, and different body placement feels differently. Speaking from experience, most of our clients scare themselves too much before coming in, and they always go “Oh, this is not that bad” afterwards. Just stay calm and relax!
It usually takes two weeks to “heal,” although it takes longer for the skin to fully regenerate. It is not advisable to do sports, sunbath or swim after tattooing. Natural tattooed skin healing process usually takes 7-28 days. Even in the case where the visual look of the tattoo looks healed, the natural protective skin barrier recovery period continues for another three to four weeks.
Every shop has its own recommended care methods. You will be given an instruction note after. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any question. One who follows tattooed skin aftercare instructions poorly, sooner or later will not be happy about it. During the healing progress, it happened that the color of the tattoo partially faded away to the extent that some areas of the skin may even get damaged. Very subtle lines thereby could become wider than before. For others, the entire tattoo could fade away prematurely. The skincare really plays a very, very important role in the final result. Also, you should never forget that you and your artist have invested a lot of effort and time in order to provide you the best possible result, so please follow the instructions! In addition, we do offer one time FREE touch-up for our clients within three months if necessary.
We accept cash or credit cards with 3% additional transaction fee (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express). No checks.
Yes. A $50-$300 deposit is required to make an appointment. Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable and will be applied to the final price of your tattoo. Please contact us at least 3 days prior if you wish to reschedule. Our artists reserve their slot just for you so please be here on time.
We recommend that you eat and rest well before you come in, and remember to stay hydrated. If you start to feel woozy, have something sweet. Sugar is the key in this situation. It’s best not to party the night before because alcohol can increase bleeding for up to 24 hours. Blood also dilutes our pigments, affecting both the appearance of your tattoo as well as the healing process.
Frequently Asked Questions for PIERCING
We do require a full vaccination proof or a negative COVID-19 test(within 72 hours) before we can proceed any under the mask piercings.
We only use needle to pierce our clients. We use single-use, disposable piercing needles and aseptic technique—the same as your dentist. Jewelry is sterilized prior to insertion, and any other implements used (forceps, etc.) are sterilized as well.
The initial jewelry should be left in for the duration of the healing period, but you can change your jewelry as soon as it is healed. For earlobes, this means six to eight weeks; for cartilage, six to twelve months, minimum.
Having a full meal and stay hydrated before getting pierced is a good idea because it will help keep your blood sugar steady, according to Secret Ink. Low blood sugar could lead you to feel dizzy or even faint during the piercing, which is not ideal.
Piercing guns cannot be effectively sterilized, and there are documented cases of disease transmission from piercing guns. Getting your ear cartilage pierced with a gun can be especially dangerous and carry a risk of permanent damage.
We offer earlobe piercings ONLY for children age 9-14 years old. 14 years and up offers most of the piercing services. For any piercing of a minor, a parent or legal guardian must be present to sign a consent form. Proof positive, state issued photo identification is required from the legal guardian, and a bonafide form of identification from the minor (government ID; Birth Certificate; Passport. A school-issued ID card is not acceptable. In the event the parent has a different last name and/or address from the child, court documentation is needed to prove the relationship.
Yes, walk-ins are welcome everyday. Please call the studio for availability to avoid wait time.
