Mom's Body Shop - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Barnaby and Dave opened Mom's Body Shop in May of 1998. The idea was to bring a quality tattoo shop into the historic Haight Ashbury neighborhood that could focus on both custom tattoo and walk-in appointments. The shop consists of artists Barnaby, Eric Jones, Madeline, Danny Boy Smith, and Taler. We have 2 piercers, Gary and Mod Dave. The rest of the crew is our manager Dave along with Aimee and Devin.
