Sacred Tiger Tattoo occupies a University Avenue storefront dedicated to custom illustrative and neo-traditional tattooing, with each artist booking directly rather than working a walk-in rotation. The consultation flow — reference gathering, stencil refinement, placement mockups — is built for multi-session sleeve and back-piece commissions, a project scale that overlaps with the custom work coming out of Buju Tattoo. Single-use cartridge machines, hospital-grade autoclave sterilization, and Tegaderm aftercare wraps follow California Safe Body Art Act (AB 300) requirements. Clients tend to arrive with fully formed concepts — family pieces, memorials, cover-ups — rather than shopping flash sheets off the wall. Cover-up and rework commissions are scoped against the dense black-and-grey depth Spirit Tattoo builds on older fading lines. The most demanding projects are multi-session back pieces that stitch across shoulder blades and ribs, where grid alignment across six or more sittings determines whether the final composition reads as a single image.
