Arcane Ink

Arcane Ink is a custom tattoo and piercing studio serving Riverside, California, and the broader Inland Empire. The resident artists bring defined, individual styles to every appointment, covering realism, fine line, anime, traditional, neo-traditional, color, portraiture, Chicano work, black and gray, cover-ups, floral and detail-focused pieces, and custom lettering. Every artist holds California Body Art Practitioner certification, and all work is performed in a clean, sterile environment with single-use needles and implant-grade jewelry. Piercings are done with professional needles rather than piercing guns, prioritizing precision and hygienic results across ear, facial, lip, oral, navel, and nipple placements.

The studio emphasizes custom work built around each client's body, idea, and vision, with flash designs available but custom pieces treated as the specialty. Longevity is a core focus, with attention to line weight, ink saturation, and placement meant to hold up for decades. Arcane Ink offers free consultations to discuss design, placement, jewelry, and aftercare before booking, and walk-ins are welcome whenever artists are available. Open Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday, and closed Mondays, the studio provides a welcoming, professional setting for first-time clients and experienced collectors alike, from single small pieces to larger multi-session custom projects.
