The Apollo Tattoo & Piercing Studio

Apollo is a tattoo and piercing studio on Main Street in Santa Monica, known for fine line, realism and custom tattoo work, along with needle-only ear piercing and a selection of body jewelry. The artists work in styles from neo-traditional and illustrative to blackwork and dotwork, and the studio also offers flash designs and a "Get What You Get" option.

Tattoos are booked by appointment through the website or by phone, and piercings can be booked or done as walk-ins seven days a week. The studio carries BVLA, Junipurr, Anatometal and Kiwi Diamond jewelry, and it offers a tandem piercing service where two piercers work together on paired placements. Children's ear piercing is also available.
