OLDEST TATTOO SHOP ON HAIGHT
Originally started in downtown Santa Cruz in the early 90s as “Anubis Warpus” quickly found that it belonged on San Francisco’s historic Haight Ashbury. It was the first tattoo shop to offer body piercing. Before then the body piercing and tattoo world were not intrinsically linked. In 2003 it changed into its modern form of Haight Ashbury Tattoo & Piercing to pay homage to the rich and unique history of the neighborhood. We focus on clean, bold American style tattooing and affordable, quality body piercing and jewelry. We have something for everyone and every budget. Hundreds of thousands of locals and tourists have passed through our doors and have left with a lasting impression.

Testimonials
“Wonderful First Time Tattoo Experience! Machy did a wonderful job ensuring the California Poppy was exactly what I wanted in terms of color, size, and orientation. He was very kind and encouraging throughout the whole process. I left with a smile on face and a beautiful first tattoo!”
“Great experience with my first tattoo! Tyler was super friendly and really eased my nerves getting my first tattoo! he was great about starting with the smaller lines and making sure I was doing fine. He also explained to me thoroughly what was going to happen during the healing process and how to take of it. Would love to come back here for future tattoos”
“I had a great experience with my cartilage piercing done by Phil. He was super nice and knowledgeable, he examined my ear to make sure that there are no blood vessels at the spot where I wanted my piercing. We had a great conversation, I felt very comfortable, so the whole experience was almost painless.”
“Sapo was excellent! He made us feel comfortable and took his time with the positioning of the piercing! We’ll definitely be back!!! The ladies in the front were also super helpful in telling us about the jewelry and making us feel welcomed!!”
