4worldlovers: Oakland Ink is all about creating beautiful and custom works of art for anyone that comes through our doors. We know that a tattoo is about a lot more than just the image or the words that appear in it. It is about making a statement or creating emotion within the tattooed person. As a tattoo shop in Oakland, CA, we take this work very seriously.

We started the work that we do now in 2013 when we set up our tattoo shop and piercing shop in a 1900s historical building in Oakland. The building just had the charming feeling that we wanted from it, and we felt that this was the ideal place to start to work on what we hoped would become a thriving enterprise for our customers. Fortunately for us, we have some of the best customers globally, and they have helped keep us in business for nearly a decade now. We also work to maintain those relationships by becoming known as the friendliest shop in all of Oakland. That is important to us because we know that the personal relationships we develop with our customers are what help make our business continue to grow.

Started out tattooing himself, before getting into a shop to learn from a handful of dedicated artists. Over time, Darryl developed a style of tattooing known as ‘hustle’. Once his style had been solidified, he opened up Oakland Ink as a way to create his version of tattoo culture in his storefront shop. Aside from tattooing, he is an accomplished airbrush painter, body painter, and graphic designer.

When not at the shop, you can find Darryl with his family, or playing one of his many instruments.

The artists who work for us are talented individuals who care about the finished product they create for the customer. They see the work they do as their way of giving back to the community in the form of art and expression, and those are exactly the kind of individuals that we want to have on our staff. Thus, we are always looking for the cream of the crop for those who can do tattoos and piercings. We need them to handle even the most complex requests from our customers when possible, and we know that the people we hire will be able to come through for the clients like this. Come in today to see artists such as:

Kat | Alan Murray | Thomas “Tea” Montano | Davin “NoKoi” Yant | And others

4worldlovers: "I have been going to 2012 Tattoo for years for piercings. Last year I was contemplating getting a Tattoo. This was the first place that I considered being that the staff is friendly, the shop is ALWAYS clean and they follow universal precautions of being sanitary. They did not disappoint. I was so happy with the tattoo that I went back a couple of weeks ago for another tattoo and I LOVE IT! Shouts out to all staff members and Daniel for my latest tattoo!"

Came here for a double nose piercing and at first didn’t know what to expect with it being in the area it was in but was pleasantly surprised by how amazing not only the piercings came out but the customer service was amazing! One of them fell out unfortunately but I came back and he put the stud back in for me. I was too scared to do it myself lol. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a piercing. We paid $40 each which was such a great deal!

Super affordable service and professional! The artist was very nice and thoroughly explained how to take care of the piercing afterwards, I am impressed. I definitely recommend this place!
