Neptune Tattoo Studio is a minority women owned, environmentally conscious tattoo shop located in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
Neptune Tattoo is created with the intension to provide a safe tattoo space for all. At NeptuneTattoo, we value professionalism, compassion and kindness. As the Chinese saying goes:“海納百川”, the ocean gains its vastness by opening itself to rivers from all directions. We would like to open our door to host creatives and aspiring artists with similar mindsets.
As tattoo artists, we noticed that there are many single use items in the industry that are harmful to the environment. At Neptune, we choose biodegradable and compostable products. Most of the single use products we use could breakdown and return to the earth within 1 to 60 months without leaving behind harmful residue.
As body art creators, we recognize the unique bond and trust between artists and clients. We are not only creating an art piece, but also assisting our clients with having the experience they dream of, or need when entering our shop. Sometimes we help them process grief, loss, fear and other times we celebrate growth, achievements and hope. In our practice, we are creating a safe space to value our clients’ bodies, visions, voices and needs.
