“I’m proud to have supported the zoning changes that made Apollo Tattoo’s opening possible," said Mayor Negrete. "As the first luxury tattoo and piercing studio in Santa Monica, it reflects the kind of creative and elevated local business that adds real value to our Main Street community.”

Inside the Apollo Tattoo & Piercing Studio:

Apollo’s bright, gallery-style lighting, clean architectural lines and marble flooring create a space that feels equal parts studio, art exhibit and spa. Artists and piercers schedule extra time for style and anatomy reviews. Tattoo clients receive full tattoo designs before tattooing begins. The studio offers personalized style consultations for every piercing, a practice uncommon in many Los Angeles studios. Apollo offers one of Los Angeles’ broader curated selections of high-end body jewelry, including pieces from:

- BVLA (Body Vision Los Angeles), an LA-based designer known for hand-finished, high-grade pieces; Apollo is among the few LA studios authorized to stock the collection.
- Kiwi Diamond, a Boutique manufacturer specializing in artistic gemstone ends and wide-ranging style combinations, from minimal studs to statement clusters.

“Apollo isn’t just a studio—it’s a space where people can trust the process, enjoy the experience, and leave with art they’re proud to wear,” said Blue Mason, founder and lead artist. “We believe body art deserves the same level of curation as any other fine design.”

Media Note:

Media are encouraged to attend. Photography and behind-the-scenes visual assets will be available during and after the event. To request exclusive images or interviews, please contact Blue Mason directly.
