"At Opal Tattoo, Solava's Hollywood studio, making a tattoo is a far more personal process than simply flipping through a book of popular designs"
Zara/ Opal: Owner and Artist (10 years experience)
Instagram: @opal_tatoo
My name is Opal, also known as Zara, born and raised in Los Angeles. I’ve studied art for years in all kinds of mediums and received my Bachelors of Arts degree from Columbia College Chicago in 2014. I picked up a tattoo machine shortly after I graduated and haven’t looked back.
I fell in love with tattooing and creating artwork for people that they can wear forever. I am inspired by everyone’s stories and passions. I opened my own studio so people would have a safe place to get tattooed, tell their stories and enjoy the experience. My shop is open to all and we can’t wait to meet you.
A little bit about my personal life; I met my husband while in Chicago in 2013 and we were married here in California in May 2017. We had our beautiful daughter, Presley June 2020 and our son Jaxon May 2023. I hope one day my children become interested in the arts like me or make music like my husband.
I specialize in fine line tattoos with intricate detail, and I’m very interested in getting to know each and every one of my clients. I tattoo people the way I want to be tattooed; quick and good. Believe it or not but I hate the idea that I’m “hurting people”. A personal relationship is important in building trust before, during and after I’ve permanently illustrated your body. I want to make sure everyone is comfortable and ready for the “Opal Tattoo” experience and I encourage clients to ask questions and express themselves. Clients can apply by filling out the inquire form on my website or through Instagram using the link in my bio.
TESTIMONIALS
Reviews from clients!
"Zara is hands down THE BEST! She is quick and has a delicate touch. I went in for a thigh piece and thought I would be there for three hours. After an hour, she asked me if I wanted to look. I thought she just wanted me to see how things were looking so far. She was done!! The healing was the best- no itching, no peeling. I have since gotten two more tattoos from her and my husband has one. At this point, Zara is the family tattoo artist and it would take a lot
To get me to go anywhere else.”

"Absolutely love my tattoo and the environment in the studio is so welcoming. Opal does everything to make sure you’re comfortable, especially being so nervous for my first tattoo. Her attention to detail while also being super fast is insane! Couldn’t have come out any better, super understanding and patient, can’t wait to come back for another!"

“Opal Tattoo Studio will now and forever be the only place I go for new ink. I have been tattooed by Zara (shop owner) three times now, and her work is always impeccable. Her attention to detail and talent in her craft is unmatched, and I am proud to display her work on my body. The other artists at Opal are also impeccably gifted and each have their own “signature” styles - I’d definitely recommend looking at all artists’ work!
Not to mention, the environment of Opal Tattoo Studio is welcome, open, and loving. I have never felt out of place or uncomfortable. It has all the positive vibes you could want during your tattoo experience! Plus, they support local artisans and often have pop up shops at their flash events.
I would recommend this studio to anyone I know in a heartbeat!”

“I have been coming to see Zara (Opal tattoo) since March 2018. She has done 5 tattoos on me already! From the minute you walk in she is so welcoming you automatically feel comfortable. I knew she was a keeper. I love her work & I have already referred all my clients to her.”
-Pam, 2018
“I have never worked with an artist who shows as much care and attention to detail as Opal does. She is passionately dedicated to the artwork and to the entire creative process. I always feel comfortable and well taken care of when she tattoos me, and I am always blown away by the final product. It is an honor to be a client of Opal's and I will always come back for more of her work.”
