Our Long Beach Tattoo Parlor
Shortly after making a name for themselves as one of the best Long Beach Tattoo Parlors in Southern California, Port City Tattoo expanded their love for tattooing and opened another tattoo parlor in Costa Mesa in August of 2014. Pairing modern techniques with traditional tattooing values, Port City’s Long Beach Tattoo Parlor remains an influential fixture in So-Cal’s tattooing community.

Long Beach, CA Tattoo History | Port City Tattoo California
Tattoos in the area were first made popular by sailors enlisted in the Navy that were stationed in Long Beach, CA. After being away from home for several months, sailors turned to collecting tattoos as a source of entertainment and also for bragging rights. Tattoo artists were generally in demand in the area and several became a part of the most elite and talented artists in the industry.
Price Versus Quality
While the amount of money that you spend on a tattoo is not going to automatically determine the quality, it is pretty safe to say that if you get an inexpensive tattoo, more than likely it is going to look cheap. Remember that your tattoo is permanent. You will have it for a long time. You don’t have to spend a fortune but a little extra expense and a quality tattoo artist will ensure that your new ink will be something you can display with pride.
