Our Story

The Open Casket Tattoo & Art Gallery was founded in 2025 in Lancaster, California by Wade Titus, a tattoo artist with more than 15 years’ experience. Building the shop from the ground up, Wade owns, operates, and celebrates other artists from all over the world.

We’re a tattoo studio and gallery creating custom, meaningful tattoos that reflect each person’s story. Our artists work collaboratively with clients to design pieces that honor personal histories, milestones, and identities.

The gallery features rotating exhibitions and installations by local and international artists, where contemporary art and tattoo culture meet.

Whether you’re getting ink, buying art, or visiting a show, we celebrate creativity and connect artists with the community through exhibitions, events, and art classes.
