Professional Tattoo Artists in Laurel Park, C

Tattoos don't come with do-overs. Laurel Park knows this - you guys research everything before pulling the trigger. The same careful approach that leads you to the right mechanic or contractor needs to apply to choosing your artist.

 

We're a trusted local tattoo artist crew that's been earning respect since 2008, one solid piece at a time. No shortcuts, no overselling, just consistent work that still looks sharp years down the road.

Skilled Tattooers Serving the Laurel Park Area

Old Crow Tattoo Shop built our name on one simple idea - specialize or suck. We don't hire artists who "do everything" because nobody's actually great at everything. Lisa spent five years mastering botanical work - her leaves look real enough to blow in the wind.

 

Danny's portraits nail facial expressions that make you do a double-take. Each artist owns their style instead of chasing whatever's trending on Instagram this month. That's why Laurel Park clients make the drive to Berkeley.

Comprehensive Tattoo Services for Discerning Clients

Your schedule doesn't always match your inspiration. Sometimes you plan custom work for months, sketching and revising until it's perfect. Other times you walk past our shop, see a flash that hits you right, and know today's the day. We handle both situations professionally.

 

Custom consultations get serious time - no rushing through decisions that'll live on your body forever. Walk-ins get the same quality work, just a faster turnaround. Guest artists come through monthly from Japan, Europe, or wherever great tattooing happens.

Safety Standards That Actually Matter

Fifteen years means we've perfected the boring stuff that keeps you safe. Fresh needles every session - not "cleaned," fresh. Ink bottles that get opened for you and tossed afterward. Surfaces that get sanitized between every client. We follow protocols that work, not just ones that look good.

 

Your piece heals clean because we handle contamination prevention correctly from minute one. Premium inks that age beautifully instead of turning into muddy disasters five years later.​

Community-Focused Approach to Body Art

We run monthly meetups where you can hang out, ask questions, and flip through portfolios without any sales pressure. Flash events feel like neighborhood parties for people who love tattoos. Pop-up showcases bring guest artists and limited designs that disappear fast.

 

Laurel Park residents appreciate this approach because it matches how your community actually works - relationships first, business second. Nobody's rushing you into anything.

About Laurel Park

Laurel Park sits in Oakland's eastern neighborhoods, where people moved because they wanted stability without suburbs. Tree-covered streets, houses that families actually live in long-term, and neighbors who know each other's names. 

​

It's not trendy or flashy - it's solid. Residents chose the area for good schools, reasonable commutes, and that rare combination of urban access with neighborhood feel. Same values that make great tattoo clients.
