The artists

Who to ask for what

  • A black and grey realism portrait of Jesus with tears and a crown of thorns covers a forearm.

    Black and grey realism

    Leo, Diego and Stellie. Portraits, animals, soft shading built to hold its contrast.

  • Black and grey illustrative skull in an ornate knight's helmet covers the inner upper arm.

    Color traditional

    Slaine, Madison and Arty. Bold lines, saturated color, characters and creatures.

  • A pink illustrative peony with yellow stamens sits among floral tattoos on the lower back.

    Floral and color work

    Roger. Bright florals, saturated color pieces, deep black and grey, careful shading.

  • A color biomechanical spring and metal rods beneath a torn-skin effect cover a calf.

    Biomechanical work

    Hunter. Bio-organic forms, sacred geometry and dot work that follow the muscle.

  • A black and grey illustrative flowering cactus, skull and desert plants run down an inner forearm.

    Fine line

    Stellie. Small, precise, quiet pieces in black and grey, placed where they age well.

The best fit, not just who is free

A walk-in gets whoever is free and right for the piece. A booked consultation gets the artist whose work fits your idea, even if that means waiting for a date. If you are visiting San Diego for a few days, write ahead and we hold time with the right person.

Each artist page has a form that goes straight to them, with room for reference photos and your mobile number. The general form goes to the front desk, and we route it to the artist whose work fits, usually the same day, and always by text, with the artist's name.
