Steinbeck put ink on the page. OK – technically he wrote in pencil, so graphite would be more accurate. But we’re trying to make a point here. Ink can turn into art, especially at this hidden Seaside spot. Part tattoo parlor, part collectible and comic shop, Sacred 8’s motto is “Whether it’s ink on the page or ink in your skin, we’ve got you covered.” Whimsy comes in many forms here. You might stumble upon anything from comics to vinyl in your travels. Maybe some collectibles to remind you of your trip. But a tattoo that says “I [heart] Dora Flood” would really cement the memories.
