A tattoo shop in the Gaslamp Quarter.
We're a tattoo & piercing studio right in the heart of downtown San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter. It's a walkable, buzzing part of town — restaurants, ballgames, the bay — and we like being part of it. Locals on a lunch break, visitors making a trip memorable, first-timers who just worked up the nerve: everyone's welcome, and every tattoo starts with a free design consultation.
Where we are
We're on 6th Avenue in the middle of the Gaslamp — 1043 6th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101. Easy to find on foot, and walkable from just about every downtown hotel.
Open late, every day
11am–9pm, seven days a week. Come by after dinner, after a game, or whenever the idea hits — we're open when downtown is.
Parking
Metered street parking on 6th and the surrounding blocks, plus several public garages within a couple of blocks. Evenings and weekends, a garage is usually the easy call.
Getting here
Right by the Gaslamp Quarter Trolley stop and walkable from the Convention Center, Petco Park, and the marina. If you're staying downtown, you can probably leave the car.
Walk-ins welcome — especially downtown
Being in the Gaslamp means a lot of our day is people who weren't planning on it — in town for a convention, down for a Padres game, out to dinner and walking past. If that's you, come in. We take walk-ins when an artist is free, and for simple pieces and most piercings we can often get you in same-day.
Want to be sure you're seen? Book a free design consultation ahead — even for later the same day. You'll sketch your idea with our designer, get an honest quote with no pressure, and lock in a time that works.
What we do here
Custom tattoos in every style, plus clean, single-use-needle piercings. A few starting points:
