By Appointment
Walk-ins Welcome
Nothing here comes off a wall of stock designs. You talk to the tattoo artist who will do the work, the drawing gets made for you, and the same sterile setup goes on the table whether it's a two-inch piece or a back you'll finish over a year.
Bold line, solid black, a limited palette. Eagles, roses, daggers and script built to stay legible for decades.
Dragons, koi, finger waves and full-scale body work. Ben's own specialty, and the deepest Japanese work in Chico.
Single-needle and light-line work... botanical, lettering, small placement pieces drawn to hold their line as they settle.
Old tribal, names, stretch marks, scars. Bring in what you have and you'll get an honest answer about what a cover-up tattoo can bury and what has to be lazered first.
Traditional structure with richer color and heavier detail.
Large-scale projects planned across multiple sittings, plus portrait and realism work in black and grey or color.
