                 • More about the shop •

My shop, Lucky Cat Tattoo, is located in the neighborhood of North Park, San Diego. I co-own Lucky Cat with two other talented artists, and together we opened our doors in May 2024. We opened our shop with a goal of providing a safe haven for clients from all walks of life, and we are committed to creating beautiful tattoos in a space where everyone feels welcome.

At Lucky Cat Tattoo, we specialize in a wide range of tattoo styles - whether you’re interested in black and grey realism, fineline, manga and anime, kawaii cute, bold traditional, or geometric ornamental tattoos, we’ve got you covered. No matter what you’re looking for, we promise to create something that speaks to you personally.

As a women-owned, POC-owned, and Queer-owned business, we’re proud to represent and support these marginalized communities. We're all about empowering others - whenever we can, we participate in fundraisers and local initiatives to give back and keep the positive energy flowing.

Opening my own shop has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s been a privilege to contribute to the city I grew up in while creating a space that’s truly my own. Opening Lucky Cat has been a dream come true, I’m incredibly proud of this space and the community we’ve built around it.

Hope we see you soon :)
