Hello there, I live in South San Diego but was really interested in getting a tattoo from Ben. I see from the other replies he’s usually there from Sunday through Tuesday. Is this still his schedule? I wanted to make sure he was there when I drop by and set up an appointment. Also, how long is the current wait looking like? Let me know, otherwise I’ll just hope he’s there Tuesday. Thanks.
his new schedule is mon-wed and booked two months out. you are always welcome to stop by the shop but he probably not scheduling anything for about a month
I would like to make an appt. with Ben Grillo for 2 small finger tattoos; both of my hands, 1 tattoo on each middle finger. Don’t exactly want to divulge to much in an open post, but each tattoo is geared toward the lowrider scene.
he is not taking any appointments right now maybe in about a month he will. you are welcome to come into the shop and talk to him in person if possible for you.he is here mon tues wed
Is Ben still not taking any appts? I am not able to come into the shop, I live in Oakland but I wanted to come down to get a piece on my middle finger.
Do you have a way I can send a picture? I have tattoo of a woman on my left arm I would like a estimate ball park of about how much to turn her into Santa Murete Merry Christmas Grant. I would like Mr. Grillo to do the work
I WAS WONDERING ABOUT GETTING SOME TIME WITH TURK… I AM LOOKING TO GET SOME WORK DONE AND WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME INPUT FROM HIM ON AN IDEA AND HIS AVAILABILITY.
I saw the tatto Ben did of the bull terrier and I thought he would be the perfect artist for my wifes cat memorial tattoo. I have a few pictures and various ideas. I would like to know rates and schedule availability. Also contact info to see if this would be a design he would do. Let me know, thanks
Ben is currently booked about 4 months out. Your best bet would be to come to the shop and talk to him in person, he’s at Power Tattoo on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Wednesday’s.
Hi ,
When Ben is for the KK in germany does he have time for any tattoos at saturday or sunday? That would be great.
And please send us the Emailadress from Ben, then we contact him,
Thank you
I messaged your facebook page but email would probably be better.
Stumbled upon Ben Grillo’s work, thought it was cool his name was Grillo like mine. Looked into his work. I see he does AMAZING tattoos and lives in CA.
I live in Nor Cal. About 9 hours away. I have a very busy schedule since I’m usually in DC for college.
If you could please email me about a tattoo for me I think it would be awesome to be tattooed by another Grillo.
Main idea is a huge chest piece that includes my shoulders. Polar bear, Octopus, Lamp, and sun rays.
Like I said dates are an issue so we’d have to really plan it out. I’m rarely home in CA, usually just around holidays.
I’m really pumped and hope it will work out. Thanks for your time!
I was looking into a mico tat of a honeybee. Looks like Ben’s the best around and was wondering the possibility of getting an appointment. I was looking to get a honeybee on the back of my right triceps as realistic as possible. I live in Ventura but you give me an appointment and I’ll be there! Thanks for your time.
Hi Brandon, Ben is currently booked up until December and isn’t taking any new appointments at the moment. I would recommend emailing him to try to get a hold of him bgtattoo74@hotmail.com

I have been trying to book with Ben since September for an appointment in February…I have sent him a picture of what I want, we’ve emailed directly and he has yet to respond back to me regarding scheduling. I understand and appreciate how busy he is, but I would really like to book for February PLEASEEEEE! I have been waiting 3 years now to get some work done by him and this tattoo in Feb. is for my big scarry 40th birthday. Could someone please find just a bit of time to reply to my multitude of emails so I can just get on the books…..please?!
I’d like to get on Ben’s waiting list. I’m in no hurry … I’m in Northern California but I can come down for an appointment when he has time … I have friends fairly close by. I have a small hummingbird tattoo on my wrist. I still want a hummingbird tattoo on my wrist but a much, much better one …
Sorry we didn’t get back to you in time, we weren’t planning on doing it but had a change of plans last minute. We will be doing them for the next Friday the 13th which is in MARCH!
Hey Ben, great work. I would love to get some work done by you but unfortunately I am in Florida. Are you gonna be around here any time soon by any chance?
Im currently looking around for the best place to get my first tattoo. I want a medium sized one on my forearm in color, it’s an island setting in memory of a family member. About how much would you charge for something like that? I have sketches of it that I can email as well…also, would I have to be put on a waitlist or no?
Hi Nancy we do accept walk-ins and take appointments as well. As for an estimate it’s best to come in and talk to an artist directly so they can see the area you want it and see any sketches you may have to discuss the amount of detail and style you’d like. Feel free to stop by anytime, we’re open 7 days a week from 11am – 8 pm. Thanks!
