The studio

We only fix things.

Three artists, one small room on Valencia Street, and a schedule built entirely around other people's mistakes. We don't do walk-in flash. We do repair.

01

Cover-up specialist

Mara Vance

Cover-up lead · Heavy black cover-ups, name removals

Turns regret into botanicals. Has covered 214 names and counting. She designs around the old ink instead of fighting it, using dense foliage and shadow so nothing bleeds through. Bring the name; leave with a garden.

Best for: Ex's names · heavy cover-ups

02

Restoration artist

Dez Okafor

Restoration · Faded work, colour rebuilds, linework repair

Brings 2009 back to life without making it look like 2009. Dez re-traces tired linework and rebuilds tone layer by layer, keeping the original piece's soul intact. Think restoration, not replacement.

Best for: Faded tattoos · colour & line rebuilds

03

Correction & fine line

Juno Reyes

Blast-over & fine line · Small scars, DIY fixes, awkward placements

Hands, necks, feet — the jobs nobody else wants to quote. Juno has a steady hand for tricky skin and a soft spot for kitchen-table stick-and-pokes. Shaky lines get straightened, softened, or folded into something deliberate.

Best for: DIY fixes · hands, necks, feet
