454 TATTOO

454 TATTOO... built on the strong foundation of artistic excellence and hard work first established while working at Beachin' Tattoo, Brad and Stephanie Schneider opened 454 TATTOO at the former site of Beachin' Tattoo in Encinitas California in May of 2004. Brad was fortunate enough to have the same great crew of artists stay with him through the transition, and along with some new faces, was able to create an incredible atmosphere for the artists as well as the clients. The artists at 454 take pride in creating a comfortable, friendly setting for people to come and get some of the best custom artwork in California, and they strive to bring each clients vision of the perfect tattoo from a basic idea to reality on skin. 454 is more then just a tattoo shop, it also has some quality piercers, a gigantic selection of jewelry, from gold to custom orders and everything inbetween. Brad has also dedicated part of the shop to be a permanent art gallery where some of the artists can display, and sell, some of the other amazing artwork that they have created. And 2 or 3 times a year the staff puts on gallery shows where they invite friends and other artists to participate and always donate a great deal of the proceeds to local charitable organizations. so come on in and see us!
