Hello, thanks for being here. ​I’m John Gabriel, a tattoo artist and designer based in San Diego, California. I’ve always been someone who needs to create. Tattooing became a place where all of the things I love could meet.

 

Art, design, music, movement, architecture, nature, travel, and simply experiencing life. All of it finds its way into my work in one form or another. My style is rooted in geometric tattooing, sacred geometry, ornamental patterns, and black and grey. I love working with structure, symmetry, negative space, and movement, while leaving room for a design to breathe and evolve naturally. More than anything,

 

I want the experience to feel good. Tattooing is personal, and I believe there should be room to feel comfortable, have a laugh, talk about life, or simply enjoy the process.

 

I’m grateful for every person who trusts me with their skin and gives me the opportunity to create alongside them. Whether you know exactly what you want or simply know you want something that feels different, you’re welcome here. Come as you are. Bring your ideas. Let’s make something together.
