A new luxury tattoo and piercing experience rooted in intention, design, and emotional transformation unveils June 1.
If you’ve ever searched for a place where artistry meets personal empowerment—a studio that listens before it inks—then mark your calendar. On Saturday, June 1, 2025, Apollo Tattoo & Piercing Studio officially opens its doors on Santa Monica’s iconic Main Street, ushering in a new era of thoughtful, collaborative body art.
This grand opening isn’t just a celebration—it’s the realization of a vision by founder Blue Mason, who set out to create a studio where body art isn’t rushed or transactional, but rather “a space where people can trust the process, enjoy the experience, and leave with art they’re proud to wear.”
Grand Opening Event: Community, Celebration, and Complimentary Piercings
At 12:00 PM on June 1, Apollo’s debut will be officially commemorated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Santa Monica Mayor Lana Negrete, followed by an open house-style celebration for the community.
“I’m proud to have supported the zoning changes that made Apollo Tattoo’s opening possible. As the first luxury tattoo and piercing studio in Santa Monica, it reflects the kind of creative and elevated local business that adds real value to our Main Street community.”
