🌀 Coming to 5026 Telegraph Ave Oakland this Autumn…Serpent Song Tattoo

Tattooing is a time-honored human practice shared across the world. Just as in the days of Old, today the choice to be tattooed evokes personal experience, self determination, and participation in ancestral linage.

Established in 2020, our mission at Serpent Song Tattoo is to foster a future centered around human creativity and interconnectedness and honor the history and integrity of our practice. Our artists craft each tattoo with intention and skill; created to make each bearer feel more authentic in their skin. We believe that tattooing is not merely a transactional act of service, but a transformative process of radical self expression.

Opening in the Autumn of 2026 at 5026 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, we will be offering cultural tattooing, body piercing, esoteric goods, and folk arts. See ya’ll there 🤘

Originally this piece by @toad_puppy was intended to be a sunset over an oasis to commemorate @theoasissf closing its doors. After the miraculous announcement of its reopening, it gets to be a sunrise instead.

We had so much fun celebrating the Autumn Equinox – thank you to everyone who spent the day with us yesterday. (The equinox also happened to line up with a solar eclipse, a synchronicity that only happens about once every 20 years.)

All that to say: yesterday was an exceptional day. Thank you for getting tattooed, sharing tea and food, taking home new trinkets and tomes, and making magic with us.

An emphatic round of thanks to our co-creators and vendors who made yesterday extra special:

@bluewillowteaspot

@slowchargecoffee

Much love always from the @serpent_song team. 🖤🐍
