What we do

Bold line and solid color, made to stay readable as it ages.

02

Black and gray

Smooth shading and stipple, from portraits to larger pieces.

03

Color realism

Soft blends where the color has to carry the whole piece.

04

Fine line

Small and precise, the kind that has to be right first time.

05

Geometric and dotwork

Mandalas, honeycomb and sacred-geometry sleeves.

06

New school

Cartoon shapes and loud color, for the ones that should be fun.

The shop

Bright, clean and not remotely intimidating

One open room on Main Street: proper chairs, ring lights, a wall of framed flash and a mural you can see from the sidewalk. Reviewers keep using the same two words about it, clean and fun, and one of them called it “the environment and the vibe in the shop” before she mentioned her tattoo.

  • Free parking lot and free street parking
  • Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking
  • 694 Google reviews and still a straight 5.0
Inside the shop: a tattoo chair and ring lights under exposed ductwork, with a turquoise and pink mural along the back wall and an Okie Dokie Tattoo banner.

My best friend and I walked in to ask about matching tattoos. We were just going to get an appointment if we liked what we heard. He drew exactly what we were thinking. We are so happy with his work. Thank you so much for making this experience so fun.

The artist was professional, welcoming, and made the whole process comfortable from start to finish. The tattoo turned out exactly how I envisioned it, with clean lines and excellent attention to detail. Even though the appointment was quick, it never felt rushed.
