Why Choose Old Crow Tattoo?
There’s no shortage of tattoo shops in the Bay Area, but Old Crow Tattoo continues to stand apart as a place where artistry, experience, and community come together. Located in the heart of Berkeley, we have proudly served the East Bay since 2008. Over the past 15 years, we’ve grown from a neighborhood favorite into an award-winning tattoo studio with a reputation for excellence, inclusivity, and unforgettable work.
A Legacy of Excellence in Berkeley
At Old Crow, we are proud to be part of Berkeley’s vibrant artistic landscape. Our studio has earned local and international recognition for the quality of our work and the integrity of our artists. Clients trust us not only because of the tattoos we create, but because of the environment we’ve built, one that is welcoming, professional, and rooted in creative passion.
Skilled Artists Across Styles
Every artist at Old Crow brings a unique point of view and a deep mastery of their craft. Whether you're drawn to clean fine line work, intricate geometric pieces, lifelike realism, or bold blackwork, we have someone on our team who can bring your idea to life. Our artists collaborate closely with clients to ensure each tattoo is thoughtful, personal, and precisely executed.
We also regularly host traveling and guest artists from around the world, giving our clients access to even more diverse styles and perspectives. Each guest spot brings new energy into the studio and allows you to book with artists who may not be available elsewhere in the region.
A Safe and Inclusive Space for Everyone
Old Crow is proud to be an inclusive, body-positive environment. We welcome all identities, body types, and backgrounds. From the moment you walk through the door, you’ll be treated with respect, kindness, and care. Our studio is designed to feel comfortable and supportive, whether you’re getting your first tattoo or your twentieth.
We believe the tattoo experience should be empowering and safe for every client. This commitment to inclusion has helped us build a strong, loyal community over the years, and we’re always growing.
Walk-Ins Welcome, Appointments Encouraged
We understand that inspiration doesn’t always come with a calendar. That’s why we happily accept walk-ins when availability allows. For larger, custom work, we encourage clients to book ahead so we can take the time to discuss design, placement, and aftercare in detail. Either way, we make it easy to get started.
