Distinctive Body Art Studio

I've been going to DBA for nearly a decade... first in Lake Forest and now, in San Clemente for one reason: they're awesome! Originally, it was just Shaun inking me, but now, Sid has become one if the premier artists around! Both have accumulated a large number of wins at very popular conventions as evidence of their top skills! Getting a tattoo is a big decision that should not be rushed into. Once a person is 100% positive they want one, the next biggest choice is the artist who you need to trust. Examining Shaun and Sid's portfolio will give you confidence that DBA is the place for you!

Easily the best shop I’ve ever been to. Shopped around for a while and either the work wasn’t all there, the people weren’t inviting or the prices simply didn’t match the work. Once I got my first piece here I knew I wasn’t going anywhere else. The people are great and understanding of all your needs. The price doesn’t match but that’s because the quality is much better than you’d expect! I know for all my future work, tattoos or piercings I will follow Sid and Shaun.

I’ve gotten not only tattoos, but also piercings here and I have NEVER left disappointed! Shaun and Sid are the most knowledgeable artists I have had the pleasure of meeting! Their work is amazing, their cleanliness is phenomenal, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Looking forward to getting more work done by them two!

I highly recommend DBA and Sid. I went in for the daith piercing to try and get my headaches under control and I am thrilled with the results! Sid is super chill and really professional, she knows what she's talking about and has a very customer-oriented approach. She let me get comfortable before doing the piercing, and let me take time to decide whether or not to get the second ear done as well, after she had already done the first and marked the second. She's super patient and didn't pressure me at all. The piercing is doing great two weeks later. She made sure I knew how to take care of it before I left.
