Tiger Monkey Tattoo

Brian Wilkinson has always been passionate about art. He says the 1990s graffiti scene and moving to a new school helped him develop his signature style. In 2004, Wilkinson realized there was a place for his brightly colored ink artwork in the multi-milliondollar tattoo industry.

After four years of living and working in what he calls “the Central Valley desert,” Wilkinson decided “…sand without the sea is just dirty.” So he and wife Amie Wilkinson moved their family of three children to the Central Coast in 2008.

For 14 years he developed a following while affiliated with tattoo parlors in San Luis Obispo and Oceano. Meanwhile the couple patiently waited to invest in Morro Bay. The desired space opened for them on April 1, 2022. The day their landlord closed escrow on 468 Morro Bay Blvd. was the day their family’s dream came true.
