Inside the studio
Four things we do properly
We offer far more than four — the full list runs to about fifty. These are the ones people drive from Temecula and Menifee for.
Cover-Up Tattoos
The one you regret, redrawn.
ViewPortrait & Realism Tattoos
A face that still looks like them in twenty years.
ViewBlack & Grey Realism
Built out of value, not outline. Reads at arm's length and across a room.
ViewFine Line Tattoos
Delicate, but built to survive being skin.
ViewThe Grand Architect is the intelligence that drew the plan before anything was built. That is the job.
Danny Hurtado named the shop after the idea that everything worth having is designed before it is made. He has been tattooing for over twenty years, paints and puts up murals around the valley, and is raising three kids here.
Recent work
Fresh photos flatter every tattoo. Where we can, we show pieces after they have settled — that is the only fair way to judge anyone’s work, ours included.
The art studio
Tattooing is one output. Danny also paints, draws and puts murals on walls around the valley. Originals and prints are sometimes available.

Got tattooed a few weeks ago by Lisa. Her work is amazing, clean, and detailed! The shop itself is such a fun vibe. All the artists are nice and make you feel super welcomed.
