Since tattooing is cropping up more and more around here, has anyone got any tattoos done here locally? If so, where do you recommend?
I want to get a tattoo of the earth.
Then, if I am lost in space, I can point to it and say "I'm from here."

That's funny! Thanks for the laugh!
I got a W tattooed on each butt cheek and when I bend over it spells WoW.....
I want to get a Tattoo of Herve' Villechaize.
Da Plane! Da Plane!
I want to go into the business of tattoo removal. There is going to be big bucks in that in about 10-20 years, erasing all the mistakes people made on a whim in their youth.
Electric Eye, very professional, really cool people. I think they were one of the first to get licensed.

True and there will also be those in their let's just say "over 35" club who like theirs still such as myself. [8D]

I don't like my forum username THAT much..
Jose "The Inkfather" Sanchez at Outsiders Ink is an incredible artist with a very creative mind. His shop on Harvard is clean and neat. He's quickly embraced going legal and has all his permits and licenses. My wife has spent about 4 hours under his needles doing a colorful coverup. She'll be going back for the final sitting the day after Valentine's.

I got my tattoo here in Tulsa about 3 years ago. It was over on 11th between Lewis and Utica. I don't remember the name of the joint, but I can look it up next time I'm over there.
The guy was really nice and helped keep me calm (this was my first tattoo). My camera is MIA, but my tattoo is simple. It is just my fraternity letters on my back-right shoulderblade. They are colored in green-fading to-red, which are the the colors of my fraternity.
Kappa Sigma?

That was Electric Eye, they have since moved to Admiral & Yale.
Yes, it was Kappa Sigma. But it wasn't Electric Eye.
The place has the name spray-painted on the building. I think it is next to Obscurities, but I'm not 100% sure.
You're right, I read that wrong, oops.
For those of you in the know (or more so than I), has the legalization of Tattooing change the rate of tattoos in the Tulsa area? Either being done here, or people who would just go to Joplin and have them done... As I understood it, getting a Tattoo wasnt really an problem even when they were illegal.
Also, has or is the quality of artists in the area improving or going down as more shops are opened?
Just curious.
I think they have improved. Many established artists moved here (Like Psycho from Shreveport and another group from Miami) to take advantage of the new market.
Personally, there's never been anything I was passionate enough about that I'm confident I'd look back in 30 years and be glad that I got one. It's just not for me.
I'm glad to see it is finally legal. There's obviously a demand for it, and archaic, prudish laws to protect people from themselves is rediculous.
The tattoo law is one of those things that gives people what they want and sets some sanitary standards by regulation. I don't see though how it really polices whether every tattoo session is done according to code. Just another business tax as I see it.
