Tattoo Service in Lake Elsinore
Lake Elsinore is a straight run south on the 15 — past Wildomar, exit at Murrieta Hot Springs Road, roughly twenty minutes from the lakefront and a little less from Canyon Hills or Summerly. It is one road the whole way, which is why the drive tends to feel shorter than the map suggests.

ViewGetting to us from Lake Elsinore
Around twenty minutes south on the 15, through Wildomar to Murrieta Hot Springs Road. We are at 40165 Murrieta Hot Springs Rd Ste G, Murrieta, CA 92563, with parking on site.
We see clients from right across Lake Elsinore — Lakeland Village, Tuscany Hills, Rosetta Canyon, Alberhill, Summerly, Canyon Hills and Horsethief Canyon — as well as from Wildomar, Murrieta, Menifee, Temescal Valley and Corona.
If you are navigating by landmark, we are near the lake itself. Walk-ins are welcome for smaller tattoos during all opening hours; portraits, cover-ups and larger pieces are booked ahead because they need a drawing before they need a chair.

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.
Kyle Shook at Grand Architect was the best tattoo Artist! Amazing detail in his work. Highly recommend and the shop was very clean and everyone was very friendly.
Visiting from Lake Elsinore
How do I get there from Lake Elsinore?
South on the 15 through Wildomar, exit Murrieta Hot Springs Road. Roughly twenty minutes, and it is one road the whole way.
Is it worth driving from Lake Elsinore for a tattoo?
For small work there will be somewhere closer. For cover-ups, portraits and realism the difference between a specialist and a generalist stays visible for the rest of your life, and that is what the twenty minutes buys.
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes for small tattoos and flash, all opening hours. Larger work, portraits and cover-ups are booked ahead because they need a drawing before they need a chair — but the consultation for those can usually happen as a walk-in.
What are your hours?
Monday 9am to 8pm, Tue – Fri 10am to 8pm, Saturday 11am to 8pm, Sunday 11am to 7pm. We are open every day of the week, which a lot of shops in the valley are not — so a Saturday or Sunday appointment is a normal booking here rather than a favour.
How much is a tattoo?
Small work is quoted per piece; larger work runs as half or full-day sessions rather than by the hour, which keeps the pace honest and stops the clock driving the tattoo. We quote after seeing the design and the placement, not over the phone.
Do I need a deposit?
Yes for booked sessions. It holds your date, comes off the final price, and it is what lets us spend real time on drawing before you sit down.
