Art gallery and tattoo studio located in historic downtown Santa Paula, CA. NOW OPEN! Steph Sparrow, proprietor.
A tiny detailed sand dollar on a sweet first timer from last week - done with the finest of liners and #singleneedle details to create depth. Love working on nature motifs in this style! #singleneedletattoo #finelinetattoo #blacktattoo #dotwork #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
A few from my geometric flash sheet! Reminder that I'll have a bunch of these designs and many more for the upcoming @seasidetattooshow and on file here at the shop. Always $100! #geometrictattoo #rosetattoo #moontattoo #mothtattoo #deathmothtattoo #blacktattoo #girlswithtattoos #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula @ Roses and Rivets
Finished this digital illustration yesterday - I posted an in progress physical sketch the other day, and it got booked as a tattoo just based on that! (Wow, thank you! ❤) So, even though the design isn't up for grabs, it was too pretty not to share. Plus, I have prints always available of any of these illustrations for $10 only, matted to 8 by 10 and ready for framing. Interested? Send me a DM and I'll get one ready for you! Can ship within the US. #poppytattoo #illustration #art #tattooartist #tattooart #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
The tiniest of red roses, done with both a fine liner and #singleneedle, for my lovely first time client, Cambria. So flattered by clients who travel from afar to get tattooed by me! Thank you! 🌹❤ #rosetattoo #colortattoo #singleneedletattoo #finelinetattoo #girlytattoos #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
Congrats to @jadesaputra who was the tattoo raffle winner for our last charity flash event! Had a blast tattooing this colorful moon mandala on her back last night. I'm always down for the challenge of geometric tattoos! #mandala #mandalatattoo #colortattoo #moontattoo #geometrictattoo #girlytattoos #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
Had a BLAST working on this engraving style design of a dead tree for the lovely Ashley. Details and #dotwork added with a #singleneedle.

I promised - I'm delivering! I'm in the process of compiling a bunch of $100 designs (extra for color) to keep on hand at the shop and for @seasidetattooshow. I'll be available each night of the convention for walk ups!
Here's a sheet of traditional designs - many of you who answered my poll here on Instagram asked for some. Here you go!
These are available now; always a $50 deposit to book a specific time (I can easily send you an invoice you can pay online with credit card).... I'm happy to take walk ins as well at the shop; however, I rarely have availability but you're always welcome to ask if I've had any cancellations for the day. If I can squeeze you in, you know I will! ❤
Happy Saturday, everyone!

See MoreJust so you all know, cover ups are hard at times. They're always a varying range of difficulty, depending on size, darkness, and the presence of scar tissue. I'm finding the ones that are the toughest are the ones to cover lines of dark script. I've done a few like this in the past - yesterday's was definitely challenging! Thanks to the incredibly tough Sam who sat for about 4.5 hours on this one. I hope we created some good memories for you! #coveruptattoo #birdtattoo #oldschooltattoo #traditionaltattoo #colortattoo #girlytattoos #girlswithtattoos #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula @ Roses and Rivets
Some beautiful #venturacounty wildflowers for my beautiful client @jeenniicaa_ - this piece was one of the email newsletter designs of the month a while back! Always fun to do these types of floral #linework pieces. A bonus when the client is as sweet as Jennica. ❤ #lineworktattoo #singleneedle #singleneedletattoo #woodcuttattoo #wildflowertattoo #floraltattoo #flowertattoo #thightattoo #blacktattoo #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
Thanks, Cecilia, for coming back for the third time this year for this pretty crescent moon and floral piece with #singleneedle detail. I always enjoy your enthusiasm!
This #tattoo was one of my "designs of the month" for my email list subscribers. On the list? This month's went out yesterday - check your inbox for the deal of the month!

In celebration of the 4th, here is a sheet of #tattooflash of traditional Americana-style flowers! Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday today! The shop is closed, but we will open again tomorrow for regular hours.
These designs - part of a giant project I'm doing to get a huge collection of small, affordable designs on file - are all available for $100, blackwork only (color available for a slightly higher cost). I have these on file at the shop, and will also have them... available for walk ups (after 5 pm each day) at the @seasidetattooshow in September!
Booking an appointment for these at #rosesandrivets805 requires a $50 deposit to reserve your time and is applied to the cost of your tattoo. I only have a few times available left for July; booking appointments now into August and September. Keep an eye out on my stories for last minute walk in openings.

See MoreFirst one off of my new geometric flash sheet! Thanks to Ash for snagging this one earlier today! Keep an eye out for a whole bunch of new flash designs, all starting at $100 for blackwork. These designs can be done with traditional shading, or with #singleneedle #dotwork as seen here. #blackworktattoo #blacktattoo #geometrictattoo #abstracttattoo #dotworktattoo #singleneedletattoo #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
I asked, you gave input! I've got about 6-7 flash sheets coming, absolutely full of YOUR suggestions. Was surprised so many of you asked for traditional stuff - here's a sheet of traditional skulls to keep you occupied until I get a few more cranked out for your viewing (and tattooing) pleasure. Well, these are traditional with my own twist, of course!
Thanks to all of you who answered my Instagram poll yesterday!
All of these new sheets are at low prices ($100 each for black...work). I'll have them on hand here at the shop and also for walk ups at @seasidetattooshow in September. Come see me!

New #tattooflash designs! Because it's a holiday week, I'm happy to announce that these are all priced at shop minimum ($80) IF you prepay and book your appointment this week. Designs are as is - no color, #blackwork only. Can be placed anywhere on the body (within reason, lol!) except for hands and neck (ribs OK). Book by Wednesday for the shop minimum deal...errr...steal. If you can't make it in to #rosesandrivets805 by then, send me a DM and you can pay online with an invoice via credit card. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! I'm trying to create more sheets of small flash designs to keep on hand at the shop. ❤ #tattooshop #tattooart #tattooartist #santapaula
Cute little moon for one of my inspiring clients, the lovely Julia - always fun to spend time with you! ❤ Tattooed with a fine liner and with #singleneedle details. #moontattoo #singleneedletattoo #blackworktattoo #blacktattoo #finelinetattoo #girlytattoos #girlswithtattoos #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
Fixer-upper! A new client came to me with a flower on her wrist - seen in the third pic. Wasn't quite what she wanted, so I drew on another flower, some details (tattooed with #singleneedle) and added some stippled shading. My client left after we were done, one happy lady!

As a tattoo tourist myself (meaning I almost always get a tattoo when I travel somewhere), I highly appreciate others with the same aspirations! Thanks to @willwrite4coffee for making the trek up here last night for this little souvenir of your stay in sunny southern California. #birdtattoo #blacktattoo #blackworktattoo #stippledtattoo #cutetattoo #tinytattoo #rosesandrivets805 #santapaula
