Creative Visions Tattooing & Body Piercing Studio
856 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey | (831) 649-1882 | creativevisionstattoo.net
People love their dogs. People get tattoos of things they love. It’s no surprise this shop has inked its fair share of bodies with realistic portraits of pet poodles and border collies. Entering the calming store, adorned with Buddhist art and plants, it’s clear that this spot isn’t like most tattoo parlors: There’s no flash art on the walls or loud heavy metal music playing in the background. But don’t let the chill vibes fool you, the shop’s five artists are as focused and diligent as any when it comes to placing permanent art on your skin.
