I had lasered my hand tattoos back in 2020 due to personal reasons, and decided to never go back to…read morefinish the lasering.. just because of the pain. 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!

Hands down the crew here knows their stuff and will get you where you want to be. My only caution is, they book out fast and far so call first and set your appointment.

Amazing studio. Came here to get a couple cartilage piercings. The environment was super clean, and…read morethe front lady was super nice and helpful. You have to make an appointment for a piercing during the weekday. I'm not sure on tattoos and what their policy is on weekends. Amanda was my piercer, and currently I believe she is the only person that does piercings here. She was extremely professional, educated, experienced, clean, and kind. She told me she has been doing what she's been doing for 20 years. She was very thorough, and made my piercing experience tolerable. I had my daith and conch pierced. I will not lie, it was painful, but it was fast and totally worth it. My youngest came with me, and really enjoyed Amanda's office. She had a ton of gaming figures, and he really enjoyed looking at all of them. He was so well-behaved Amanda gave him some treats as well. I'm mentioning this part in case you're a mother or father with young children, because well-behaved kids are able to stay in the piercing room with you. Overall, I can't really say anything negative except that it's more pricier than going to a store at the mall, obviously. This is a professional tattoo and piercing studio where they use a needle instead of a piercing gun. Way more cleaner and way more professional. If you need to get pierced, I definitely recommended this place and asking for Amanda.

I was a long-time goer of 23rd Body Piercing for years. I was suggested SB over 23rd by an old…read morefriend on the premises of better quality services and more affordable pricing. 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 followed SSC on IG and began looking at the work by the talented artists that created there. The studio itself looked so welcoming and full of plants, candy bowls, and beautiful art. I knew this is where i had to start so i reached out. It began with a vine on my wrist by Miranda, then another wrapping around my Ankle by Wesley, Chels adorned me with my Fifth Element and Ghibli pieces, and Anya began the first bit of my back tattoo. Because of the high vibrational space Wesley and her family created here in OKC, all of my tattoo dreams have become realized. They already know ill be back for more soon ;)

I don't have any tattoos…read more Well, except for the five on my face... Because I am sensitive to makeup, I have permanent makeup tattooed on my eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. Funny story (now): I had a lady come up to me after my late husband's funeral and ask me what eyeliner I wore because I cried up a storm, and it didn't run at all, and she wanted to know what brand it was. lol This week, while working on an article on The Compound, I met the nicest tattoo artist, Miranda Chisholm, at Sacred Soul Collective in OKC, OK. She does tattooing, but they also offer piercing, naturopath, and massage. Because purple is my passion, I immediately fell in love with the restful and beautiful décor, which is very relaxing. Every artist's and therapist's station offers a different bit of personality and color to the overall eclectic atmosphere. The shop space is HUGE, with 20 stations providing services. The lovely benefit of so many creative options is that there is bound to be an artistic "fit" for what each person is looking for. This is an inclusive, co-op working space, mostly made up of females. They take great care to make everyone feel warm and welcome. By appointment only.
