Black & Blue Tattoo

The Mission, Dogpatch & Potrero Hill


This women-owned tattoo parlor gets it in ink with designs ranging from honeycomb-pattern bicep graphics to shoulder-to-shoulder Golden Gate Bridge spans. Check out artists' work at the shop or online, then book a consultation. Once you've talked over the design, you can book your tattoo – you'll need to show up sober, well fed, fragrance free and clear headed for your transformation.
