RISING TIDE TATTOO
&
OLLIE THE IMPALER
BODY PIERCING

We chose the name Rising Tide Tattoo because of our belief in the axiom "A rising tide lifts all boats," a phrase that speaks to the power of community, and the importance of empathy and compassion in navigating the collective fate that binds us all together on the stormy seas of life.

 

Our team of tattoo artists and piercers are not only talented professionals, they also embody the philosophy that our industry needs to ride the wave of positive change, to embrace inclusivity and a culture that welcomes everyone pursuing self-expression through body art.

 

Rising Tide Tattoo and Ollie the Impaler Body Piercing offer an elevated body art experience in North County, San Diego. Our shop provides an upscale, safe, comfortable setting for anyone seeking tattoo or piercing services.

 

Our experienced artists offer a full range of tattoo styles, including black and grey, delicate fineline, portrait, photo realism, American and Japanese traditional, and full color illustrative.

 

Ear piercings are available for ages 7 and up, nose and cartilage piercings for ages 12 and up, a wide selection of piercings for ages 14 and up, and more advanced and intimate piercings for those 18+.

 

Rising Tide Tattoo and Ollie the Impaler Body Piercing strive to create a modern, client focused approach to body art expression, that leaves the toxic and unwelcoming aspects of the industry in the past, where they belong.
