Sacramento's Oldest Tattoo Parlor

When you're ready for a tattoo or piercing, you trust your friends right?  Word of mouth is one of the best ways to get a recommendation and we pride ourselves on just that: word of mouth from satisfied customers have kept us in business since 1991. In fact, we are the oldest shop in Sacramento, so why would you trust your permanent body art to anyone else?   Our artists are dedicated to the field of body art: we have over 120 years of combined experience, ensuring you will get a great tattoo or piercing for a reasonable price.

We pride ourselves on high-quality work done in a clean, sterile environment. We use the highest quality inks and surgically approved piercing gear. We also have a wide array of jewelry on hand so that you can find just the right item for you. Book a consultation today!
