You rang? The Son of Lurch is creeping back into Scare Down in Downtown Torrance! Tall, dark, and delightfully dreadful, he’ll be lurking about for photos, frights, and a little Addams Family mischief. Come snap a picture if you dare. We promise he’s a real scream
At Black Raven Tattoo, spooky season never really ends.
Home to award-winning artists and voted Best of the South Bay year after year, Black Raven has built a reputation for high quality custom tattooing, killer artwork, and a crew that knows how to bring just about any idea to life.
Spooky tattoos are always lurking in the shadows here, but Black Raven does far more than ghosts, bats, monsters, and things that go bump in the night. From bold and colorful to delicate, sentimental, classic, strange, beautiful, and completely one of a kind, the artists take on all kinds of styles and subject matter year round.
During spooky season, you can even add a little extra glow to your graveyard with a UV reactive tattoo or UV accent that comes alive under blacklight.
With award-winning talent, decades of experience, and more creativity than you can shake a broomstick at, Black Raven Tattoo is a cut above the rest. Come for the spooky atmosphere, stay for the seriously good tattoos.
