"I was absolutely blown away by Apollo Tattoo. The studio is stunning and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. When I saw Blue's sketch of my tattoo, I fell in love. His work is truly stunning. I will be going here from now on."

Our Origin Story

Why “Apollo”?

Apollo, the Greek god of light, truth, and art, perfectly symbolizes the studio’s mission: to illuminate your truth through world-class body art. The name evokes beauty, complexity, and cultural legacy. Like its namesake, the Apollo Tattoo & Piercing Studio stands for inspiration, empowerment, and mastery: a beacon for those ready to embrace their true selves.

How It All Began

Founder and master artist Blue Mason didn’t take the traditional route into tattooing. Formerly a marketing consultant and financial advisor, Blue bought his first tattoo studio in 2007 after the housing crisis upended his career. That pivot wasn’t just professional: it was spiritual.

After witnessing both the beauty and the pitfalls of the industry, Blue committed himself to mastering the craft. He studied under artists across the globe, refined his technique, and envisioned a new kind of studio: one that blended elite artistry with an elevated, client-centered experience. Apollo is the result: a studio built from the ground up to feel more like a sacred creative space than a typical tattoo shop.
