Hello dear friends and community, We’re reaching out because we need your help. Its now been 5 months since Diving Swallow Tattoo was forced to close due to the pandemic. While this is understandable because we want to keep our tattoo artists and clients safe, we’ve also had to continue to pay for our rent and bills. Diving Swallow Tattoo was established in downtown Oakland in 2005 and has built its reputation around being a safe space for POC, female and gender non-conformin...g tattooers, guests and clients. We’re proud of all of our artists and the high quality of work, as well as our commitment to upholding health standards. We believe in sharing information and teaching people of color how to tattoo. We’re reaching out to you now, our supporters of many years, for help. Please donate what you can so that we all have a place to return when it’s safe. Even a small amount is so appreciated. Thank you so much, Rocio and Cedre Diving Swallow Tattoo www.divingswallow.com @divingswallowtattoo https://gf.me/u/yjd6y7 PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE.

Hi friends, we hope you are all doing well! We miss you and we miss tattooing loads. We’re thankful for all the love and support! Please check out all our artists and see what they’re up to! All their links are in the highlights. We love you and hope you and yours are staying safe this quarantine season. . ....
