Owner, PJ English, has been an artist since he was old enough to hold a pencil. PJ has been putting his art on skin since the early 70's. With PJ's talent and wealth of experience you can be sure you will get what you need to make your mark in the world. Whether it's your first tattoo or your twenty first, Backdoor has the ability to bring your dermographic ideas to life. Availability is a premium so appointments are a great idea. We will do our best to accommodate walk-ins, however quality tattoo work usually requires preliminary pattern make-up work that may take a considerable amount of time.

PJ began his career as an apprentice under "Little" Dave Spellman at the Long Beach Pike. He helped open Santa Ana Tattoo, in Southern California circa 1975, eventually becoming the owner. It was here that he honed his skills to become one of the best in SoCal at the time. After several years, he sought a change of scenery. So he packed up his machines, inks and imagination, and moved North to Sacramento. In 1985 he opened BackDoor Studio and began a tradition of quality and commitment to the art or tattoo. Since that time he has had the pleasure of working with and training some of the best tattoo artists in the business.
