Cleanliness, Professionalism & The Design Process

Clean, safe, and well-maintained equipment is key to making sure our tattoo shop is one of the best in San Diego. Our team uses the right tools techniques to ensure each job is done safely and correctly. After you select an artist and design, they will re-create your piece on a transferable paper. The transferable drawing is applied to the skin to check position and scale. Once you and the artist are happy with the design, it’s time to get inked. Depending upon the scale and complexity of your piece, you may need multiple sessions. Our artists take great care to plan out each piece, making sure you’ll know exactly what to expect throughout the process.

Our tattoo shop is located in between two of San Diego’s best neighborhoods: the historic University Heights, and the colorful Hillcrest area. Our shop is just a short walk from plenty of bars and restaurants, perfect for a post-session libation. Stop by to check out our San Diego tattoo shop location, or call us to book an appointment.
