Veteran-owned and founded by a U.S. Army alumnus, Broken Heart Tattoo runs a custom multi-artist shop at 3704 Sixth Ave on the Hillcrest and Bankers Hill border in 92103. The American traditional and neo-traditional bookings — bold outlines, saturated color, classic flash iconography — overlap stylistically with flash-heavy rooms like Sailor's Grave Tattoo Gallery two blocks west on Fourth Ave. The artist roster covers blackwork, single-needle fine line, and black-and-grey photorealism alongside color realism, letting the shop take a full sleeve project without outsourcing any style to another studio. Large-format custom work — full backpieces, chest panels, and multi-session sleeves — is planned through consult-first booking similar to the custom-only intake model at Buju Tattoo up on Fifth Ave. The most ambitious project the shop regularly takes is a mixed-style full backpiece combining black-and-grey realism central imagery with neo-traditional color framing, built across eight to twelve sittings and priced by the session.
