Holy Cobra Tattoo Parlour is built on a simple idea: exceptional tattooing should come with an exceptional experience.

Located in the heart of San Diego, Holy Cobra brings together experienced tattooers who care deeply about their craft and the people who walk through the door. Our roots are in traditional tattooing, with a respect for its history and an approach that is distinctly our own. From bold, timeless work to completely custom pieces, every tattoo is made with intention and built to last.

Founded by Marine Corps Veteran Ben Rounds, Holy Cobra was created to be the kind of tattoo shop we believe people deserve—welcoming, professional, efficient, and genuinely fun to be in. No egos, no unnecessary waiting around, and no intimidating tattoo-shop attitude. Whether you’re heavily tattooed or walking into a tattoo shop for the first time, you’ll be treated with the same attention and respect.

We pride ourselves on giving people more than a great tattoo. From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, our goal is simple: give you a tattoo you’ll love and the best tattoo shop experience you’ve ever had.

Great tattoos. Good people. No bullshit.
