Salem
Salem was born in beautiful San Francisco, California. Most of his childhood was spent growing up and down the west coast surrounded by an eclectic world of art, music, and creativity. The tattoo world seemed to always intrigue him, until he took the steps needed to begin the trade on his own. After taking the last 30 years to travel while learning and experiencing what tattooing had to share, he decided to settle back down in his birth place in the bay, in 2003.
Another fun skull and roses Bertha I tattooed.

Fun Alien bolt for Brent. Tattooed on my last trip to Denver. Thanks again my friend.♥️⚡️💙
He had the shark tattoo first, which created the rest of the theme we tattooed above it. A ship traveling through its storm, and a Siren`s beckon call.
Thanks Cole.♥️

My friend Josh just finished up this Uncle Sam riding a terrapin. He gave me the simple idea and I ran with the rest. Thanks again.♥️⚡️💙

Dizzy is the first Apprentice I have had in 16 years. She just completed her four-year contract with the studio and I`m so grateful that she`ll be sticking around a while. 🐯♥️🐯
She fits in like no other, and is the most friendliest artists and coworker I have ever had the chance to work with. She fully encompasses the authentic vibe, and spirit that belongs in my shop. She`ll meet you with enthusiasm, creativity, nspiration and Chuckles to boot. 🤪
Congratulations Dizzy. You have more than earned what I have been able to share and help teach you. You truly are being a service too this community. Zap zap💥.🏆 @imalwaysdizzy

Here`s a photo dump of our last trip to Denver. Denver`s been my second tattoo home since the early 2000s. This last trip was specifically planned around surprising and celebrating our friend @billycrandalltattoos 50th birthday!
I got to complete and get some amazing new tattoos started in the 10 days I was there. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate with us and everyone who showed up for their appointments. Can`t wait see everyone again in May.♥️⚡️💙

Come for the Art, Stay for the Laughs
We’re a crew of talented artists who roll deep like a tight-knit family. Our studio atmosphere is serious about the ink—but we also keep things fun and a little offbeat. Honestly, you’ll probably spend your session laughing along to our shop humor. Our goal is a truly one-of-a-kind tattoo experience where you leave with stunning new art and some new compelling ideas for life.
