With years of experience as both a tattoo and piercing artist, Blue specializes in creating piercings that are not only precise but also deeply personal.

Avalon van der Mast
I had an emergency situation with one of my back dermals and Blue was wonderful! Was ready to help and got me in and out with no stress. Even with the removal process I hardly felt it🙏😩
Isabella Whatts

Got a very small and simple tribute tattoo done by Bri. She was amazing: very kind, welcoming and very flexible and patient with my indecisiveness about the design, as well as my need to change the appointment at the last minute. As I only got a small piece, I cannot vouch for full pricing range, however, I believe that while the prices are on higher side, I don't think that for their location and their staff skill/facilities that it is unreasonable. Would recommend!
Jack Williams
I had a great experience with David when I came in to get a flash tattoo on Halloween. Impressed with the professionalism and quality of the work. Would highly recommend!
Jens Drustrup Thomsen

Madee Sabatier
Blue is the absolute best! He is the only person I will ever go to for my tattoos now. After he did an incredible cover up for me, another tattoo, and touch ups, it’s safe to say I trust him with anything I bring him! Could not recommend more.
Chelsea Cordonnier
Raa was my artist and let me tell you he was overall amazing! From his artwork to his personality! He has a way of making you feel comfortable!
Julien Calderbank
Super professional and friendly people. Very clean space. Loved the work they did for me, and the reasonable price that it cost. Conveniently located in a cool neighborhood just a few blocks from the beach. Really couldn’t be happier with my experience at the Apollo!
Hannah Irving
I had an amazing experience at Apollo Tattoo today! The staff were all super friendly, helpful, and kind. My artist, Bri, was incredible—she did such an amazing job on my tattoo and made the whole experience so comfortable. I’m so thankful for the awesome service and would highly recommend Apollo Tattoo to anyone looking to get a tattoo!
Kent Kirkendall
Blue did a great job creating a Polynesian design and the tattoo work came out flawless. The shop is clean and everyone is very friendly
Eric Calbert
This was my first time here at the shop , my tattoo artist was Raa , he was very professional and knowledgeable and knows exactly what he's doing. He is very experience at what he does best... My tattoo came out really good , but I had to go back to get a touch up because for my situation I had a little complication with the healing process, it was my fault for not taking proper care of my tattoo, but I went back to Raa and it actually came out better then the original, so I guess everything happens for a reason... lol no complaints only gratitude for his services 🙏
Mahna Ghafori
Super happy with my first tattoo, it was a great experience. Thank you!
Amanda Stansbury
Highly recommend. You get what you pay for- is on higher end but quality of the work is worth it. Blue did amazing work bringing my watercolor piece to life. All the staff are great and personable/knowledgeable. Working on the piece, Blue is very detail oriented and I really underestimated time, but in this case to get a stunning piece definitely is worth taking the extra time
