A single-artist private studio at 3651 Midway Drive suite 19, Kevin Griffin Tattoos operates as an appointment-only custom tattoo practice inside the Salons by JC suite-rental complex in Point Loma. The appointment-only model rules out walk-in work by design, and the studio's overflow referral for same-day requests is Ace Tattooing Co on Newport Avenue, a higher-volume walk-in parlor at the other end of OB's tattoo-demand spectrum. Custom design is the only service offered, with each tattoo built from client concept through one-on-one design rather than pulled from stock flash. The appointment-only model means longer consultation time per client and slower throughput, pricing in the design labor as part of the session cost rather than as a separate line item. The solo-practitioner economics at Kevin Griffin Tattoos mirror the working model at The Artist Outpost, where individual makers run their own creative programs rather than operating inside a shop-brand volume framework. Large custom pieces requiring extended design development before any needlework are the studio's most committed project type, structured for clients willing to treat the design phase as its own paid, standalone stage of the project.
