Tattoo shops are the heartbeat of any downtown art scene. They’re gathering places where people from all walks of life come together over a shared passion for self-expression and tradition. And in San Luis Obispo, there’s one chair you’ll want to pull up to – Lisa Bracero’s at True West Tattoo.

Lisa has been tattooing for 20 years, but her journey started long before that. Growing up around tattoo shops, she was drawn to the craft at an early age, learning the ropes through a traditional apprenticeship. Since then, she’s built a name for herself on the Central Coast, where her bold, timeless work has become part of the local culture. Walk through downtown SLO, and you’re bound to run into someone proudly wearing her art.

Meet Lisa Bracero – Our Newest 805 Authentico

Lisa embodies everything we love about the 805 spirit – dedication, loyalty, and a deep-rooted love for her craft and community. She’s carved out her place in San Luis Obispo, where True West Tattoo has become more than just a shop – it’s a second home for artists and friends alike, stocked with good people, good stories, and a fridge full of 805 Beer.

A Permanent Postcard from the Central Coast

For Lisa, tattooing is more than just ink on skin – it’s about connection. Every piece she creates is a nod to tradition and a tribute to the people who trust her with their stories. And if you’re cruising through the Central Coast, there’s no better souvenir than a tattoo from Lisa herself.

Stop by True West Tattoo, meet the crew, and maybe even walk out with a little piece of SLO’s art scene on your skin.

Welcome to the 805 Authentico family, Lisa.
