I've only been to.. 3 tattoo shops and this one is by far the best. But they were over a decade ago so sanitary standards have changed. The whole place is inside a cozy little home, converted into a designer place of business. I love it. Adorable. Jimi was there with his girlfriend, also adorable couple and very well mannered. Mine only had 3 colors, black, red and dots of white all in texts. Came out exactly like what I provided. Jimi has a very cool style, Japanese mixed with Chinese, but also versatile. Love his work on the wall. The response time on yelp is really fast. Either Jimi or Jude. And you'll get an appointment and seen as scheduled. If I had social media they'd be tagged. And so far my arm feels very normal and the colors are vibrant.

I gave it a shot then and now I'm a full convert to the SB name! They are many things that a lot of shops are not. They aren't pushy, they are honest, and respectful in every sense of the word. They will respect what you want as long as it is safe and will save you money when they can. Their jewelry is just as great as 23rd's, but far more reasonably priced, and you can trust what you buy is what they say it is! They are quick while still being efficient in their work, when it gets busier. I'd say my overall favorite thing about this place is the honesty. They won't push you to buy something else just because they will make more money. If you bring your own jewelry, they will happily pierce you with it as long as it's quality and the right style for what you want. Every trip I've made here has been a positive one! Overall great vibes, customer service, and attitudes.

I wanted a tattoo on my left inner-forearm that was all written in a foreign language (Hebrew). While the design I requested was not intricate in terms of detail or color, it was incredibly intricate in that all of the text is so unlike our English letters. His work was fantastic. Knowing that I'd found the right place, I came back this week for a tat I wanted on my other inner-forearm. This design was very, very complex. I had a mock-up of the design I wanted and gave it to Chad. Understand this, Chad is old-school, and designs his tats by sketching them out free-hand. He made many suggestions during the process, and was receptive of the several requests I made. Because this particular design was so complex, Chad invested additional time in developing his sketch because, as he said, "This is forever." I've been inked in Dallas, Miami, and Los Angeles, and was a tad reluctant about OKC talent; no more. Honestly, Chad's work is better than any of my other tattoos. I have already referred a family member to go to Hard Luck Tattoos, so I hope you believe me when I say that you won't find a better group of artists to work with, anywhere. I'll be back with pics when everything heals up and the colors pop.

But it got infected and kept getting infected overtime even after cleaning it several times throughout the day. Turns out that the person who did my piercing did it super uneven and made it diagonal instead of straight, and because of that, it's a lot more difficult to clean it properly. Me and my boyfriend politely asked if we could have a refund and they denied our request and said that they could pierce it again once it's healed (not for free). I've been in excruciating pain because of this bs And they can't even refund 90$ back to me Bs. :/ I don't recommend whatsoever.

Anyway, I was supposed to get a tattoo else where, and they told me they could no longer fit me in. So I did some research, and decided to come here! It was actually closer to where I live, so it was more convenient. (Also, it's near the gyro place and sandalwood store! Scoreee) Anyway- I called ahead. And Sean was able to fit me in! I came with my mom and a girlfriend, haha, a little support team since it was on my foot and only my 2nd tattoo. The shop was BUSY!!! I was pretty glad I called ahead- my girlfriend had been planning to get a tattoo, but they couldn't fit in walk ins. (Something about the day before Valentine's made everyone want to go get tattoos I suppose?) Anyway. I waited, he was pretty busy so I did wait a bit after my scheduled time. The shop was really clean, and had cool hand painted artwork on the wall! When he was ready for me, we talked about what I wanted and we did some research for about 10 minutes to get exactly what I wanted. When we where ready he brought me to his small back room! I had actually freaked myself out by googling foot tattoo pain, but Sean was VERY light handed, and while obviously it was still painful, I appreciated the fact that he was good at his job enough to make sure I wasn't too uncomfortable! I've gotten a back tattoo, that is pretty small. That hurt worse then the foot. He was very nice and professional, talking to us and helping distract me. When he was done he cleaned me up and wrapped it up! When we got to the counter, he actually charged me less then he quoted me. Which was pretty cool! it's been a few days since I've gotten it, and it doesn't hurt and is healing very nicely. (note I hadn't cleaned my foot off before I took the picture, the line work is wonderful!) I am probally not going to get another tattoo, but if I where, I would totally come back and specifically request Sean! I would also recommend him to anyone else getting a tattoo. Side note, there are several artists that work their, Jessie being another artist I've hear wonderful things about! Five stars. The experience was great!

Awesome place. Very very good work. Glad we chose them over all the other places around.read more

I was out here form Arizona working. I've got some horrible home done tats and was looking to get some cover up work done. I searched the web looking for a place to go to, and big daddys looked to be the place. I've never been happier with my choice and luck. Upon entering, I was met by OB. I explained what I wanted and he really seemed interested(turns out he likes doing traditional japanese tats). I've found that if your artist is interested, that makes a world of difference. He was super friendly, understood what I wanted. My biggest disappointment was that I couldn't start right then. But big daddy and OB explained that they do quality tats, not trash, which made my respect for them go up immediately. I told OB I wanted a traditional style japanese dragon or fudog (or both) to cover up the bs on my arm. He took pics of my arm and set an appt with me for 2 days later. When I came back, he showed me a siiiiick fudog to put on me. I agreed to his design and we got started. His line work was excellent, very sanitary, and he had a great personality to boot. Nothing worse than sitting for hours getting work done and the artist is boring. After a couple hours of line work, he asked the other artists opinion about the work. He isn't so proud that he won't ask for opinions to make sure its the best tat he can give. The other guys liked what they saw and I left afrer setting another appt to get shading and coloring for the following sunday. I arrived at my appt only to be told it wasn't healed enough to work on. I was dissapointed but respected that he would rather wait to make sure he's not risking blowing the lines out or screwing it up due to it not being healed enough. So we made an appt for the following friday. I got there, he declared it good and we got started. Wow, the finished product is outstanding. I can proudly say this is the best peice I have on me. His shade work and colorwork was beyond expectations. Like I said, this place is great and I will recommend it to everyone I see. Ive already got plans to add to the piece, and I won't let anyone but the guys at big daddys do the work. This is a place that can be counted on to do the best work possible. Thanks OB and Big Daddys. Youve got a happy customer in me..... read more

Very new to the whole tattoo scene, and I got my very first tattoo here. I made that very known, and that I didn't know how much it was going to cost, but they didn't take advantage of that at all. They were very considerate and professional with their pricing. For $300 (with tip) I got a very good deal. They use top of the line colors, that pop out very well on your skin, and you're paying for a full life time warranty, where you can go back any time and get it touched up if needed (which it most likely won't but still good to have). I had "big daddy" do my tattoo, not under my knowledge, but man is this guy an amazing character. He kept me very entertained the whole time, sharing amazing experiences he had in his life, making me laugh and smile all the time. I was very nervous about the whole tattoo process, and made it noticeable. He didn't try and sugar code it, but told me straight up how it was going to be. I didn't want it any other way. He took his time and was very patient with me (I was a bit jumpy in some areas on my back) and didn't mind stopping mid way for a "smoke break". I will never forget my first tattoo, as anyone should, but mine was as pleasant as it could be. Big daddy was someone I will never forget. The $300 I payed for the tattoo will never amount to the wisdom and input he gave me on some areas of life! I'm so glad I went here instead of anywhere else in the okc area. I would recommend this place for anyone! Very clean, happy, energizing experience. read more

My husband recently lost his mother, and we decided that getting a memorial tattoo would help with his grieving. We search online for artists that would be able to capture my husbands vision into art. We looked up Ob on the website and he had a sample of praying hands on his profile. My husband was in awe by the artwork so we selected Ob as the artist who would have the honor of putting a man at ease of losing his mother. Ob was a laid back guy and a pleasure to be with during the process, he was perfectly fine with me sitting in the room and able to document the occasion. The conversation was pleasant, even the music we listened to while he was tattooing was nice! Great place, I will be getting my next tattoo there as well!!! read more

I wouldn't even give them one star!!! The asshole that owns the place put a fucked up campfire on my back with shit I told him not to do! I've never seen an "artist" who refused to do ink on a person the way the person wanted it, not the artist. I specifically told him not to put the leaves but he did it anyway! I paid "Big Daddy" over $300.00 dollars to fuck my back up for the rest of my life. I've had to try to get someone to fix it, but no one with a reputation will touch it because they are all afraid that they'll make it worse. I can't believe this asshole is still in business. Maybe the employees are actual artists instead of no talents who can't do anything but trace a pattern. My advise, don't risk it read more

One of thier apprentices is probably the rudest girl I have come across she was on her phone half the time talking crap about some drama in her life about her boyfriend and his baby's mother.

Only gave one star because that's the lowest choice. Went to get a tattoo and spoke with "Big Daddy" aka Moe. Asked for our deposit $ back after he started talking about "gays" not being good enough to serve him food at a restaurant . Said he wasn't judgemental, but would ask for another server in a restaurant if the original server was "gay". After a brief debate and him stating that he didn't like the smell of their breath, we asked for our deposit $ back and left. Won't be getting anything from them, EVER! read more

I ultimately had regrets because I was left with scar tissue and faded tattoos on my hands, but I knew one day I would find the right artist to cover them up. After a lot of research, I eventually found that artist, who was Brayden Beardsley. I had no idea what to expect, since this was going to be a cover up. After seeing his work I had full confidence that he was going to do something beautiful. I made the appointment, and immediately he started working on the drawings. He kept my original hand tattoo concepts but tweaked them to make them better. You know you have a great tattoo when you keep looking at them even weeks after getting them done. They are so beautiful and they really restored my confidence, especially since hands are the most visible part of the body. A side note, Brayden's bedside manner was great and he made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He was super friendly and we talked about a bunch of things. He has only been tattooing for a year and he is already better than most of the artists I've seen. Thank you for such a great experience, and I highly recommend you go see Brayden or anyone at the shop, they are the best in OKC!

He recently started accepting clients and I am eager to get tattooed by him in the near future! Really nice guy! Kevin, another artist in the shop, has done several tattoos for myself & my boyfriend too! He specializes in traditional tattoos, but is also skilled in many other areas.

I've held off on writing this because I genuinely want to support small businesses. I get how hard…read moreit is--I'm a mom, a nurse, and an entrepreneur too. But after more than two years of trying to get my tattoo finished and five months of active follow-ups, I need to speak up. In April, I booked an appointment with [artist name] for my birthday. She canceled two hours before because she was sick, which I totally understood. Life happens. She even promised extra time and said she'd "make it right." That felt fair. But then... silence. For weeks. When I tried to reschedule, she offered me a date after I'd already told her I wouldn't have childcare. I had to rearrange my whole life to secure a sitter for May 23--and then she canceled again. This happened three times, all cancellations on her side. After months of being ignored--texts, Facebook, even TikTok DMs--I reached out to another artist at the same shop just to be heard. Suddenly, I got a response. We finally got a new appointment for September 6. Then came more red flags: * She asked for a deposit I had already paid--twice. * I sent screenshots to prove it. She still didn't update it until the week before. * I asked multiple times how much to bring. She didn't answer until less than 24 hours before the appointment, and now said $200 without counting the deposit or the promised extra time. The night before, while I was hosting my daughter's first birthday, she messaged to move my appointment. I didn't see it. The next morning at 9:51 AM, she said she couldn't be there at 11, my confirmed time. I was already on the road and had childcare secured. When I arrived in town and realized she wasn't even there, I told her how frustrated I was. She said I was canceling. No ma'am--I was on time. She wasn't. I ended up turning around and going home, out hundreds in childcare, gas, and cash I had pulled just in case. And when I asked for my deposit back? She sent me $25--less than half of the $55 I originally paid. Why I'm Sharing This This is not just about a tattoo. This is about boundaries, professionalism, and respect for people's time, money, and mental energy. Small business or not, if you can't handle your books, honor your word, or communicate with clients, it's not the client's fault. To anyone thinking of booking here--please be aware. I genuinely hope she grows and improves her process, but this ain't it. (I originally posted this as a review on FB but it was deleted and then I was blocked. Multiple people reached out to me within the hour though with the same conversation. They ended it with "I thought it was just me.)

If you're considering a tattoo and want it to be amazing (more than just an OU symbol or a peace…read moresign), make an appointment with Dave Bruehl at Think Ink. If you have to wait a few weeks for an appointment, he's worth it. Seriously, any time I see someone with a gorgeous vibrant tattoo in the Norman/OKC area, they say that got it from Dave Bruehl (visit his Myspace page or website for examples of his work). Dave took my rough idea and turned it into something remarkable, beyond all my expectations. In my opinion, he's at his best when you don't turn him into a human Xerox machine- he's a great artist so let him come up with a unique design for you. The shop itself is very clean, surprisingly bright, and pleasantly decorated- it doesn't look like a place to have afternoon tea but it doesn't look like Rob Zombie walked in and exploded either (which is a refreshing change). The other artists seem very friendly and the work I saw them doing was very well done also. If I could give this place ten stars, I totally would.

I had a tattoo appointment today with Briar Thompson and, in over 40 years of getting tattooed,…read morethis was by far the most unprofessional experience I have encountered. Before the appointment, I sent him the design and paid the deposit but received no pre appointment instructions. I even reached out to ask basic questions such as whether I should shave my stomach for the placement. My DM went unanswered. When I commented publicly asking the question, he replied there saying that commenting was not a good way to communicate, despite the fact that my DM had already gone unanswered. On the day of the appointment I informed him I was running about 15 minutes behind while waiting for an Uber, since I had received no preparation instructions. He responded that the appointment was at 1 PM and that he expected to start on time. I apologized twice and even told him I would leave a tip for the inconvenience, which I did. During the tattoo itself, the work was fine, but I became physically uncomfortable because he repeatedly rested his entire arm across my pelvis area while tattooing. I was wearing gym shorts and no underwear and felt my personal space was being invaded. I froze in the moment because it was also the most painful part of the tattoo. Later, I privately messaged him in what I intended to be a light way of addressing it, mentioning his arm resting on my pelvis during the session. Instead of acknowledging the concern, he interpreted the message as if I were coming on to him, which was completely untrue. The reality was that I was trying to express that I felt physically uncomfortable during the session. Rather than taking accountability or addressing the concern professionally, he blocked me and left the tattoo unfinished after already requiring full payment. He can keep the money. I will gladly find a tattoo artist who communicates professionally, provides clear appointment instructions, respects personal space during sessions, and takes accountability when a client expresses discomfort
