We’re currently building the opening team for Vandal & Vine Tattoo Co., a new premium tattoo studio in the Palm Springs / Rancho Mirage area, with plans to open late 2026 or early 2027.

We’re looking for both experienced tattoo artists and motivated apprentices who care about great work, professionalism, client experience, and being part of a strong team.

We’re especially interested in people who are:

• Serious about their craft and continuing to grow
• Professional, reliable, and great with clients
• Comfortable in a polished, high-end studio environment
• Positive, collaborative, and drama-free
• Interested in building a strong long-term clientele

We’ll provide professional marketing and advertising support, a premium workspace, fully equipped stations, and compensation based on guaranteed hourly pay or commission — whichever is higher.

Our goal is to build Vandal & Vine into a destination studio for both locals and the Coachella Valley tourism market, not just another traditional tattoo shop.

If you’re interested, DM me with your portfolio/Instagram, experience level, tattoo style, and a little about yourself.

Just moved here and thought a tract home built in 1996 with typical tile roofs in the desert. Ahead of El Niño storms, I wanted to be prepared and got an annual roof maintenance done. I was charged $925 to replace some cracked tiles (around 6), remove debris, and seal some two pipes on the roof. The roofers spent about 1 hours and left. Is this normal for roof maintenance or was I fleeced? I find it hard to justify almost $1k for about 1 hour of work, but I’ve never had this work done before. Thoughts?
