About Zulu Tattoo

Welcome to the Tribe...

Zulu Tattoo is a place where tolerance and creativity thrive. I am very proud of my clientele which widely ranges in ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender and many more sects of society.

I am fortunate to have been exposed to, and learned from, such a vast array of people from all regions of our planet. My concern is to provide you with a custom design fitted for you alone.

I encourage clients to get involved in the creation of their sacred markings as we work together to bring that which is within you to the surface.

This Manifesto resonates in the heart of every artist at Zulu Tattoo. We look forward to having the pleasure and the honor of being chosen to give you your sacred mark.

    Welcome to our blog…..

    March 14th, 2012 by

    We would like to welcome you to our new blog!  We will be posting all kinds of fun and interesting topics here about tattoos, our clients, our artists, our events and more!  Our goal is to create a community and tribe built around Zulu Tattoo and all that we do here. Zulu started Zulu Tattoo 20 years ago with the hopes of filling a niche in the tattoo world.  His philosophy of “not just putting a tattoo on you, but bringing that which is within to the surface” has been his motto from the very start.  We are so fortunate to attract an amazingly compassionate, artistic, eclectic, professional, and interesting clientele.  The Zulu Tattoo Tribe has grown into an amazing community.

    This community is what spawned the idea of creating the Zulu Lounge.  It is our quarterly event where we raise money for different charities.  We strongly believe in giving back to our community!  If you want to learn more about our event, you can go to www.zululoungela.com.

    We have a Zulu Lounge coming up on Thursday, March 29, 2012!  Please join us!  For tickets and more info go to www.zululoungela.com.


    We look forward to seeing more of you here!

    Zulu and Khani
