Sacred Tattoo

Sacred Tattoo is Downtown Oakland's oldest running tattoo shop, situated in the historic Old Oakland neighborhood near the 12th Street BART station. The studio prides itself on having an artist for every style of tattoo a client could need, making it a go-to destination for custom work across a wide range of approaches. Whether you're after fine linework, bold color pieces, or something entirely one-of-a-kind, the shop's roster is built to cover the full spectrum of tattooing styles under one roof in the heart of Oakland, California.

Custom tattoos are available by appointment, and walk-ins are welcome as well, with the shop open seven days a week to accommodate spontaneous visits alongside planned sessions. Walk-in tattoos can still be fully custom designs, though larger or more complex pieces are best booked ahead to allow proper planning and time. This flexible approach reflects a shop culture that values both careful, considered custom design work and the accessibility of dropping in for a fresh piece, all while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding downtown Oakland community.
