Best tattoo parlor ever. The vibe and artists are fantastic. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted and treated. Their artwork speaks for itself. I won't be going anywhere else for a tattoo since I found this gem. ❤️
Shoutout to Dom for an amazing job on my arm band tattoo. It isn't easy, but she did well. 100/10 will definitely be back again.

Dom literally gave me my current favorite tattoo. I came all the way from texas to get tattooed by her and she did not disappoint! She was so sweet and so fun to talk to which is what you really need when getting a tattoo for 6+ hours 😂
So unbelievably stoked to have this amazing shop open up in Santa Cruz. The owners/artists are super dope people with amazing skill sets and range. The shop feels like walking into a homie's place--immediately welcoming and at home. It's super clean (I would almost eat off the floor), and has the nicest bathroom I've seen in ages (yeah, weird to mention maybe, but it's clean, nice, smells good, and as a lady it's super extra special to see that there are tampons if you so happen to need--just those extra little touches that show the owners go above and beyond in caring for their clients). I felt super confident and barely nervous at all coming to my first appointment here. The owners carry themselves in such a professional manner, yet also super chill and friendly. Appreciate you Dom and Drew! Can't wait for our next appointment!

I had an absolutely stellar experience at Lights Out. Upon entering I was immediately warmly welcomed by both Drew and Dom who are so amazingly friendly, funny, and caring--my experience with them made me feel like we were all old friends who had known each other for years. The shop itself is SO comfortable, like, I could see myself going to just hang out there because they did such an A1 job giving the place a super inviting vibe (especially with that lil fire place during the winter ). The conversation was upbeat, funny, and real--which helped me stay distract from the tattooing. Drew hit the nail so hard on the head with the design he did for me, and the irony: I wrote less than a paragraph in my "idea email" to him... dude has a great way of making art that fits the space and flows with the body placement, and is STUNNING. There's no doubt I'll be back to see them again. Thanks you guys for an amazing experience!!

Beyond stoked and grateful to have worked with Drew on this idea- I am in love with my new tattoo. He is a master at what he does! I always find myself anxious walking into a tattoo appointment but Drew and Dom greeted me so kindly, their space was extra cozy, and as soon as I saw Drew's design, I felt really comfortable and excited! So laid back and insanely talented. It's been two weeks since my appointment, all healed up and beautiful! Thank you Lights Out!!

Lights Out Tattoo is an experience, not only do you get quality artwork, but an easy, supportive atmosphere. With patient, skilled artists like Dom and Drew you not only get what you paid for and more you also get IMMACULATE VIBES. I have been getting tattooed by Drew for 3 years now and feel I can speak on lights out’s timeliness, cleanliness, professionalism and dedication to their craft.
Not only is it THE shop to book at in Santa Cruz, you also walk out feeling heard, with the vision of your tattoo executed to the DOPEST extent and the satisfaction of a new piece of art that exceeds all expectation.
If you want those clean lines, fly babes and comfort look no further than Lights Out Tattoo.

I have several tattoos and the ones I get ALL the compliments on are the pieces that Drew did for me! He’s professional, incredibly talented and great to work with. I have moved from Cali but will be booking another appointment and flying there to have him finish out my baby lion Cubs one day soon! Highly recommend.

Dom is the biggest Chad I know. I would give up my left nut to finish my other sleeve from her (not pictured) but I am a broke college graduate. The vibes are immaculate, plus she bought me a sandwich one time. I love sandwiches.

I met Dom when she was just getting out of her apprenticeship and I’ve always admired her work and passion for art. She’s a great artist and makes her clients feel like long time friends. The most comfortable tattoo experience I’ve ever had. Definitely worth the wait, and I can’t wait to get more work done by her.
