Welcome to Diving Swallow Tattoo!

Diving Swallow Tattoo is a collective of women tattoo artists who have created a beautiful and welcoming environment to be tattooed in. We are committed to providing clients with uniquely artistic and technically superb body art.

Our studio is located at 264 14th Street in downtown Oakland near the Malonga Casquelourd Center for the Arts and is open by appointment only. It is the tattooing home of artists Cedre Csillagi, Marie Wadman, Melissa Taylor and Rocio Arteaga. Check out our online portfolios and find out how best to contact individual artists at the following sites:

Please also visit our Resource pages where you will find links to a variety of botanical and other images to inspire you as you refine your tattoo idea.

We hope that you'll also find inspiration on our Community page in links to the work that some of our clients are doing in the community, stage, kitchen and beyond!
