About Us

We take the time to learn who you are, what you’re drawn to, and how you want your tattoo to live on your body. From there, each piece is designed from scratch, guided by Japanese traditional fundamentals: flow, balance, symbolism, and longevity.

Meet the Artists

Rooted in Japanese traditional tattooing, the work here is driven by years of study, respect for the craft, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Every piece is drawn with intention, applied with care, and designed to age gracefully.

The Shining Skull

7661 Girard Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037

Note: The entrance is not on Girard Ave.

If you see PRFCT, Art + Design, Gambucci, or Phoenix Salon, you’re in the right building — just walk around to the rear alley entrance.

When you arrive, contact your artist to be buzzed in. If you have trouble finding it, reach out and they’ll guide you.
