Book Your Tattoo Appointment in Santa Barbara, CA

Tattoo appointments are available now to have unique quality tattoos done by Santa Barbara ink veteran of four decades Pat Fish. Making a deposit to secure an appointment is the next step. Using the online shopping cart to tender an appointment deposit is safe and easy, so when you are ready: 

PLEASE NOTE: If you are under a physician's care, have a chronic skin condition, or have other health issues that could interfere with getting or healing a tattoo, please get in touch with us before making a deposit - patfish@luckyfish.com

Once you've made your appointment deposit, you can arrange for a consultation appointment to come to the studio before your installation appointment to browse the extensive archives, discuss design ideas, and compose your custom tattoo. Learn more about designing your custom tattoo and how I work.

Suppose you're interested in a large and/or highly custom piece. In that case, it's best that you consult in person before your appointment date. That can be done weeks in advance, or as late as the day before your installation if you are traveling a significant distance. That gives me overnight to draw up the pattern needed for installation the next day.  

Please don't anticipate that it will be a long wait to get a tattoo appointment. I can often fit you in within a few weeks. Of course, if you can come on a weekday, that will likely make it sooner, but you can always hope for a weekend day if you need one.   

If you know you want to BE ART, then make it happen

Tattoo Appointment Location and Hours of Operation 

The Studio is open by appointment only. Work days start at noon and often run until late in the evening. Please read our FAQ page and understand that if you're thinking about just dropping by without an appointment the studio may look closed but I am inside working and don’t want to break my concentration to answer the door. You’ll be glad for that focus when it is you in the chair getting work done. 

You'll find maps, directions, links to hotels, and tourist options to enhance your stay in Santa Barbara on the Tattoo Tourism page

If You Can’t Travel to Santa Barbara for Your Tattoo Appointment 

There are many competent tattoo shops around the world, but few have more experience with the Celtic and Pictish style than The Queen of Knots. So if you can’t make it to my Santa Barbara studio for a tattoo appointment, you can purchase original tattoo flash in the LuckyFish Tattoo Flash store and get inked by your local artist. The images come in a PDF that is immediately downloadable.  

If you want to commission a custom tattoo design based on one in the store, we can work together remotely. But if the pattern needs measurements to fit your body, or wraps around a body part, it can only be done with us working together in person.   

You can also find LuckyFish souvenirs featuring Pat Fish's original art at these print-on-demand sources, offering imprinted shirts, mugs, and other items. Another way to wear art. 

More Information About Custom Tattoos and Your Tattoo Appointment 

If you have questions, please visit our FAQ, email me at patfish@luckyfish.com, or call the studio at 805-962-7552.   

Please understand that I do not answer the phone while inking tattoos, something you'll be happy about when YOU are in the chair. Also, because the studio is not open every day, "phone tag" is a much slower method of communication than email.   

I appreciate your interest, and  thank you in advance for your patronage.
