More than a
tattoo shop.
An institution.

Tahiti Felix's isn't just a place to get tattooed — it's a living archive of the craft. The museum walls tell the story of tattooing's journey from Polynesian ritual to American art form, and the artists carry that tradition forward with every piece they create.

Located at 924 Fifth Ave in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, the shop has earned a 4.7-star reputation by treating every client like they're part of the story.

From the Museum
"The history of tattooing is the history of human expression. Every mark tells a story that outlives its maker."
