For nearly a century, sailors and landlubbers alike have had their skin permanently decorated by artists at Outer Limits. The tattoo studio is the oldest continuously operated tattoo shop in the United States and second oldest in the world. Aside from offering top-tier work from world-class artists, Outer Limits is home to a collection of historical artifacts from the era of The Pike amusement zone, which included the tattoo shop and was open in Long Beach from 1902 to 1979. Owner Kari Barba, a living tattoo legend, took over the Long Beach shop on April Fools Day 1983 under the name Twilight Fantasy Tattoo. She changed the name to Outer Limits in the early ’90s.
