Your San Diego Tattoo Artist
Custom designed art serving point loma and surrounding areas
Hi, I’m Chris Cockrill, a professional tattoo artist with nearly 25 years of experience creating custom tattoos for clients in San Diego and the surrounding areas. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft to design unique, personalized pieces that not only meet but exceed client expectations. Body Art is more than just a job for me – it’s a passion and an art form that allows me to bring my clients’ visions to life in a way that’s visually stunning, meaningful, and built to stand the test of time.
I specialize in crafting large, intricate pieces, whether it’s a bold eagle, a Japanese koi fish, or a delicate black-and-gray flower. Every tattoo I create is infused with my experiance , creativity, and unwavering attention to detail, ensuring that it’s as unique as the person wearing it. My goal is to make every piece of ink special – a reflection of your individuality and personal story – while leaving a lasting impression for years to come.
Our Cozy North Park Studio – A Creative shop enviroment
I’m located at Remington Tattoo, located in the heart of North Park, just a short distance from downtown San Diego. Nestled in a quaint, semi-private house just one door east of 30th Street, our studio provides a warm and inviting atmosphere where creativity thrives. After many years of tattooing across the country, internationally in Australia, and a long tenure at Avalon Tattoo 2, I’m proud to now call this inspiring North Park neighborhood my home base.
Our location is perfect for fostering artistic collaboration and motivation, with a positive and welcoming environment that makes every session enjoyable. Whether you’re visiting for your first tattoo or adding to a growing collection, I’m here to create a piece that not only looks incredible but also makes you feel great about yourself.
When I’m not tattooing at the shop, you might find me showcasing my art at conventions, selling prints, or crafting custom machines. Whether it’s behind the chair or outside of it, I’m always immersed in the world of art, eager to grow and refine my skills. I welcome realistic designs and enjoy pushing my artistic boundaries to create tattoos that are both meaningful and visually striking.

First and foremost, I am a tattoo artist with a deep love for drawing and designing bold, readable pieces. I specialize in several styles, incorporating elements from traditional American tattooing, Japanese artistry, and black-and-grey fine line techniques to create tattoos that are both striking and built to last a lifetime.
My flash and paintings draw inspiration from a variety of passions, blending techniques rooted in American traditional tattooing, the beauty of nature, pop culture influences, and the timeless artistry of Japanese tattooing. Each piece reflects my love for these styles and the creativity they inspire.
In my San Diego-based workshop, I hand-build and tune custom tattoo machines to ensure the highest quality and performance for professional artists. My online shop also features prints of my original artwork, as well as limited-edition t-shirts inspired by my designs. Explore the shop to find unique tools, wearable art, and collectible pieces made with care and passion.
