Future Ink Tattoo & Supply

Future Ink Tattoo & Supply is a tattoo studio known for heavy blackwork, Japanese geometry and blackout pieces, with seven resident artists who each work in a distinct style. Styles range from dotwork and sacred geometry to fine line, illustrative, anime, botanical and full color work. The shop also sells tattoo supplies.

Most work is by appointment, though walk-ins are taken when artists have openings, so calling ahead or stopping by 5251 Broadway is worth doing for same-day availability. Large pieces and blackout work usually need several sessions and a consultation first. Tattoo prices depend on size, complexity and placement, and cash and Zelle are the accepted payment methods, with no credit cards. The studio sits on the Temescal and Rockridge border and serves clients from across the East Bay and San Francisco.
