Reviews of Ocean Blue Tattoo & Art Studio (Tattoo Shop)

Lorne Lovelace

I live out west, I was discussing with a buddy in Seattle what would be the best option and he said go see Daniel. I couldn’t be happier. What a great experience. Thanks to Ocean Blue!

Matt Thomlinson

Someone told me about ocean blue tattoo shop .So I went there to get a tattoo of a male and female lion tattoo.And the tattoo artist was so nice.I just might go there again to get another one.

Rachael Belt

Great work and the artist is great at making you feel comfortable. The shop is brightly lit and clean. Great place to go if you are looking for watercolor

Martin Villegas

I had a tattoo done by Daniel a few years ago before I moved to California. He did a sleeve with a stunning tribal piece. Daniel was able to design my tattoo based on my reference photos from the web. He did free hand drawing and show me before tattooing. The artwork is done so amazing that I have been approached by modeling agency recruiters while walking on the beach. I am so satisfied with his work that I have now flown back to Minnesota for the sole purpose of having another one done.

I’ve waited 27 years to honor the memory of my twin sons and Anthony created the most beautiful design to do just that. He not only shared his talent as an artist, but his kindness helped to make my experience especially meaningful. Thank you, Anthony, it is perfect. - Jodi

Ian Olson

Daniel is amazing he has an absolutely insane talent for realism tattoos (that’s all I can speak for since that’s what I got) his relaxed and up neat attitude is very calming to have as a person who got their very first tattoo done at the store, Daniel and his staff are all incredibly nice and talented, these workers know what there doing and know how to bring your idea to life just the way you want. Thank you so much for the tattoo Daniel it’s amazing

Theresa Blue

OMC, Daniel & Anthony we're so nice & personable. Anthony did an amazing job on my tattoo!! I will be back!!!

Brooke

I got a tattoo by Anthony and the man had amazing integrity. He went above and beyond to make my first tattoo experience perfect. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Bea S

This is absolutely one of the best tattoo shops ever. The artist Daniel is the greatest! He's very knowledgeable, artistic, organized, neat, sanitary, and he really cares about making it a pleasant experience. I drive all the way from Chicago just for his expertise passing many shops along the way and I will not let anyone else touch me or my family except him. He will sit with you and figure out the best tattoo for you to your satisfaction. He also uses a wonderful tattoo butter that heals it up very quickly. Please check him out! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

I went to Ocean Blue Tattoo to get a chest panel and half sleeve tattoo. I chose to get a Spinosaurus on the chest panel representing strength and survival and on the half sleeve portion I got 2 samurai masks, 1 with a samurai helmet with my family crest, and the other with a US army helmet. This tattoo represents my Japanese and American heritage as well as my military service. I have maple leaves and smoke in the background representing time passing.I knew it was a wild idea but Daniel made it work and it looks better than I dreamed it would be. Daniel was very nice and professional, he always made sure I was comfortable and his workspace is very clean and has the feel of a art studio. I will definitely be getting more ink at Ocean Blue soon.

Budman Studman

Few years back got work done there. First session went ok, ink looked fine. The second session was a complete disaster. Paid 300 bucks for what he called "smoke" around the dragon. He kept yammering on and on about how everyone loves his smoke. All it turned out to be was black blobs that added no esthetic value. But what really pisses me off to this day every time I look at it is how he enchroached on a previous dragon I had. Basically went out of his way to ruin another artists work. Never again will I go, and I suggest you pay close attention to what he does. When he sees this review he will try to pretend I was never there BTW. Thats his deal, deny any negative reaction.

Michaela Blakeslee

Got my tattoo 2 years ago. It still looks brand new. Walked in, told him what I want, he designed it for me on the computer, printed a sticker-type thing, put it on me, and asked if I liked the spot. Told him I wanted it a little bit lower and he reprinted it for me happily. Went with my friend and together we spent probably only 2 hours (both our tattoos were relatively small). Atmosphere was great; I didn’t feel like I was in a sketchy place. Price was significantly lower than the place my friend and I had planned to go but left because we thought it was too pricey. Our tattoos were in more...risqué places (mine under my breast, hers on her upper thigh) and neither of us felt at all uncomfortable. He told us everything he was doing step by step. Didn’t hurt me a bit. Left with some kind of clear bandage over the top that had some salve in it or something plus extra ones that we could put on when the current one started to peel. It was my first tattoo and I had an amazing experience. Both me and my friend have recommended it to others. Writing a review now 2 years later because I’m planning on going back in the next few days for a second tattoo! Usually don’t take the time to write reviews but I was very pleased with my experience.

PATTY. DO

Samantha Barry

Daniel is a true artist and great with his overall care. Couldnt recommend anyone more highly.

Holly Garlie

So glad I came across Daniel, the owner of Ocean Blue Tattoo. I went in to get a memorial tattoo for my 5 year old son - I provided Daniel a photo I found on pinterest for a 3D tattoo - he was able to take that idea and transform it into exactly what I was looking for - incorporating the dragonfly and my son's name along with his favorite colors. Daniel is an amazing artist and I'm already planning to return with my next idea for another tattoo. The atmosphere is comfortable, they take their time making the tattoo perfect and my tattoo was fully healed in very little time. Anthony from Ocean Blue tattoo also did an amazing job designing a memorial tattoo for my husband full of very intricate detail. I would highly recommend either artist for any work you are considering.

Suraj Silwal

I brought a simple design for my tattoo but it turned out to be so realistic. This guy is a real deal!!!!!

Yari Cortez

Very amazing place very organized and super clean! Daniel is very creative, out going and makes you feel comfortable. I got my first tattoo and I love it!

Stunna Goham

This man took my idea and turned it into a masterpiece, truly is a gifted man. He did a small piece on my forearm dedicated to my fiancé and I will always come back here when I need to get tatted! Awesome work brother keep it up!

Candy Crooks

Professional, clean, affordable and genuinely cares that you are happy with his work and cares about your health

Bill Mertz

Great job and a good price

lori gabrielson

Daniel..you captured everything I dreamed of...you are a true artist!!!

Tara McCleary

Daniel did an amazing job with my tattoo. He pays very close attention to detail and works with any idea you can come up with. He makes ypu feel comfortable and he gets to know you because hewants to know you and he is a very talented artist and is one of my favorite. I recommend his to everyone

Kirsti Lilja

I have been coming here for over two years and have gotten several pieces done and have LOVED all of them! I recently went there to get a very detailed, black ink tattoo done and met a new artist who recently started working there, Tenzin. Danny, who is my normal tattoo artist, passed me off to Tenzin explaining that he did really clean line work and he was not kidding! I was absolutely blown away by Tenzin's work and it has become one of my favorite tattoo's! Tenzin was very easy to work with and Danny has found himself an extremely talented new tattoo artist. If you are looking for a clean, detailed, and beautiful tattoo, Tenzin is one of the artists you should ask for!

christopher bair

Ocean Blue Tattoo, Shouldn't need to say anything more! The Shop atmosphere, artists and price are all amazing. Daniel was my artist and I gave him a simple concept image and told him to roll with it and add his own personal touch to it. I could not be happier with the work he did and will be back again when I decide on my next piece. If you are looking for a new Tattoo defiantly stop in and see Daniel or Anthony! While I haven't worked with Anthony personally his work also looks amazing!

Michael Bolin-Resch

I went yesterday to get a tattoo that i had been putting off for awhile, this was a special tattoo for me so the timing and the place had to be right. I brought in a design that i had in mind and they took the design and improved it to make it look better and it was absolutely perfect. After looking at my other tattoos my artist made a comment that he could tell all my tattoos came from different artists and we chuckled, well i can say for sure that will no longer be the case.....i have found my tattoo artist for all future works. The attention to detail and care that was taken did not go unnoticed, if you are looking to get a tattoo i would highly recommend Daniel at Ocean Blue Tattoo.Thanks for my best looking tattoo =)!

Janelle Peterson

Bathroom was dirty, artist was late and we weren't properly greeted. We walked out

Gigi

Great watercolor work done by Daniel. I was very nervous getting my first tattoo, but after seeing how smooth the entire process was, I'm glad I came here to get my first tattoo. Will definitely be coming back.

Joey Collins

Daniel tattooed my daughters footprints and added watercolor flair to them as well. Dude is legit and knows his stuff when designing and applying ink. The thing that stands out the most though, is how he respects you through the entire process. He makes sure you are in as little pain as possible and will make every effort to make this adventure as smooth as possible. He also strikes up conversations with you through the tattoo and makes it a personal experience. It made the time fly as he did his thing. There is a reason why this shop is so highly ranked, go here with confidence!

Grace Boese

There are two parts to this review, the tattoo and the service.Because this is a little lengthy, I’ll include this summary: Tattoo product and quality = great. Service and scheduling = poor. If this is your first tattoo and want to feel at ease with scheduling and being in the shop getting a tattoo, I would recommend going somewhere else. If you have gotten tattoos before and likely not prone to nerves, then the bumps in the road with the service and scheduling provided here might not bother you. I would say if this shop can get it’s scheduling and processes in order so that they are organized and ready for clients, it would go a long way with the overall tattoo experience. My sister and I were both looking to get a tattoo (different from each other.) My artist, Tenzin, did a great job on the hot air balloon, picture included. I love the tattoo and how it looks. It’s exactly what I wanted it to look like. My sister got a lilac branch connecting to one of her previous tattoos. Her artist, Daniel, did a great job with the colors and artistry. It was a main reason we picked Ocean Blue, as the photos on the website showed some awesome colored tattoos. The issues we ran into were scheduling, service, and price of the tattoos. I scheduled right when the shop opens. I walked in, was told they’d be with me in a minute, waited about 10 minutes and then had a consultation with Tenzin. He was very helpful, but I could tell he was looking to the owner, Daniel, for assurance on some things. Daniel was consulting on another tattoo right next to us. So I sat with another person, and their friend, both of us consulting on our tattoos at the same time without much privacy. When we finished up, I asked to schedule for a specific date in August, so that my sister could travel to get the tattoo. We found a date and confirmed verbally that we could schedule for 1pm, when they first open. Daniel told Tenzin not to write it on the calendar. I figured it may have been a different way he wanted to schedule it. I was told my tattoo would be $150 and my sister’s would be $250. The week before the scheduled date, I called to confirm the appt, based on my uneasiness of the appt not being written down when I was there. I spoke with Daniel on the phone, he seemed a little confused at first when I told him I was calling to confirm the date and time of our appointment, but eventually confirmed the appointment. He called me back about an hour later and asked about what the tattoos were. Understandably, there may have been confusion, as our tattoos were put together on one consultation paper. Once he realized they were two different tattoos, he said he had them both. We arrived at the shop at 1 pm for the tattoos. They seated us and gave us paperwork to complete. While we were doing this, before Daniel had arrived, the others asked what the tattoos were of. We gave them the descriptions of our tattoos. They found my tattoo, but couldn’t find the lilac branch. They even asked us, “Are you getting a ‘serotonin’ tattoo?” Somehow they finally found the pictures/consultation paperwork and started the tattoos. My sister said that she was hoping to have the tattoo be a little bit larger in size when applying the outline. Daniel responded, “I’ll have to clear my whole schedule if we go any bigger.” So she felt a little uncomfortable during the tattoo because of this comment. She was also a little surprised to see some additions to the final product of her tattoo that were not included in the original outline that was applied. You can see the “ribbons” around the lilac branch in the photo included. I will note that the tattoo looks great and she likes the effect of the ribbons now, but after immediately getting the tattoo, she was surprised and shocked. All the while that we were receiving our tattoos, there were interruptions with other clients or shop workers that Daniel would have to stop to talk to people or even walk away from the chair. Finally, when we paid, they charged us both about $50 more per tattoo than originally agreed upon in the consultation.

Anthony was great has a light hand and a great sense of humor

Brandon Dols

Excellent shop with relaxed and professional atmosphere. If you are looking for talent and custom work this is the only place to go! This will be my only ink shop from now on

Maem Harringer

Sehr professionell. Daniel hat uns mega gut beraten. Anthony hat ein super detailliertes tattoo hingebracht. Bin sehr zufrieden, danke!

Tara Cardenas

This is my second time going to Daniel. I first did a cross on my back and he now is doing my half-sleeve. I could not be happier with his work. He is so detailed in his work from the drawing before and in the actually tattoo. He is a true preffesional who is passionate about he does and it really shows. I will always go to Daniel for future tattoos and I would recommend him to anyone.

Priscila Eid

Originally I went to a very trusted tattoo parlor, once I showed them what I wanted, they recommended me to come to Ocean Blue Tattoo. They told me to speak to Daniel. I came in for consultation, which we discussed and I saw his passion for his work. Daniel is very professional. He was wonderful, he did a coverup from a 10 yrs old tattoo that I didn't like, he drew it up and worked on it. We had great talks but the work is exquisite. I could have not asked for anything more. I would recommend him to anyone that wants perfection. Thank you Daniel! I will be coming back.

Alex Motallebi

Spectacular tattoo shop, and artist. I came to Daniel with a strict idea of what I wanted for my tattoo and he explained adding uniqueness to your tattoo, with his help we came up with a beautiful tattoo I could only dream about. Not only does he want the customer to be satisfied. He went into every detail to make my tattoo perfect. I will be back for sure, and I recommend Daniel to anybody seeking a quality tattoo.

Funke Oluwole

Really a good and professional place. Good guide and good service. Always possible to have time when it suits you. Great recommendations from here

Katie Casey

The artist was very experienced. He gave some good advice for our decision. Did a good job.

Erica Lovestrand

I can’t say enough about Ocean Blue Tattoo, the owner, Daniel, and my artist, Anthony. Daniel is a lifelong artist and Anthony is extremely talented. And they’re both very personable and accommodating. Anthony’s work on my design is beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with my tattoo. Only 1 day after my tattoo it was already healing so well and looked so beautiful. Anthony and Daniel were very professional, clearly described each step of their process, and were great conversationalists both during the consult and application, and gave good aftercare instructions and service. I will definitely be going back to them for my next tattoo and can enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who wants a great experience and an amazing tattoo.

Kevin Lupkes

Excellent work every time! Utmost care for your complete satisfaction ... an absolute professional and extremely talented artist. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend!

cheap cologne

I have gone back twice now. Thank you Daniel.

Melissa Kramer-Waite

Great experience!

Michael Hullenbaugh

We are extremely happy with our tattoos! Will definitely be repeat customers and highly recommend this shop!

David Hunter-Patrick

I came in asking for him to fix my tattoo, i have before during and after photos on my googleplus account and if you had seen the disaster that I had had on my chest ....lets just say the outline that I had "disaster" is a bit of an understatement. Daniel asked me what I wanted to do I said "I have no idea you as the artist I was certain that you would think of something amazing to fix this lol im pretty open" he told me that was fine he asked me a few key things that he wanted to know about my interests and personality and a little later contacted me and told me he had the idea "Medusa!" I was in shock by the design and that he could come up with something so creative and so detailed so quickly. He is an amazing artist and works amazingly with making sure his clients are happy with not only the tattoo itself but that they are happy and comfortable during the process as well. I refer all my friends to Daniel my girlfriend is about to get a tattoo from him soon as well im excited to see her get a new piece even though she does have more tattoos then me :( lol

kurt kiffmeyer

Excellent tattoo artist, takes his art to the next level. Daniel talks to and listens to his clients. He's done two tattoos (both cover ups) on me and I'm very pleased. Thank You Daniel.

Kyle Scislow

Was pretty nervous to get my first tattoo. I was sweating a little bit while I waited for my turn. However, Daniel was super chill and nice. He was able to make my design even though it was a bit harder since it was smaller than the reference image I had. Still, it turned out great! Highly recommend this place to anyone getting their first (or whatever number) tattoo!

John Jameson

I have been going to Ocean Blue now for some time. Daniel is an amazing artist and has done several tattoos for me. He has been able to effectively integrate new art and designs with my existing tattoos. He has incredible vision and is very creative in his design. One of my favorites is the original skull design he recently added for me. I would highly recommend him for first timers as well as tattoo veterans. Great shop! Great artist!

Reina Hernandez

I just got my second tattoo and I’m in love!! Daniel really knows what he’s doing and always makes sure I leave the shop happy!

Rachel Paige

Beautiful work at a fair price point!!! I always have a great experience! Anthony is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, personable, and great to work with. He is always professional and definitely passionate about tattooing and his artwork. I got my first tattoo with him and I don't want to work with anybody else!

Alexis Johnson

very pleased with final product of tattoo, but both artists there at time reeked of smoke, place was cluttered,food all over desk. They have tattooderm which helps tattoo heal nicely without any work on your own part!

Pam PLPM

Amazing work !!! Will never go to anyone elsenow. He corrected a previous tattoo that I had gotten someplace else. Daniel added watercolor and a great amount of detail, it's STUNNING !

Jen Turk

I finally got my first tattoo and I was really nervous. Daniel was so nice and made the process a lot less scary. I'm obsessed with the beautiful watercolor turtle on my upper back!

Todd Harper

When I first saw Daniel Natural’s work, I knew I’d trust him with my first tattoo. And he didn’t disappoint! Throughout the application, he continually asked me about my pain level and wanted to ensure I was comfortable. And now I have some awesome artwork to show off! Highly recommend Daniel at Ocean Blue for your watercolor tattoo!

Alexie Apple

Daniel and Anthony are very talented and friendly. The experience was worth coming back for. They did a mandala hand piece for me with great detail for a well worth it price

Sukanya Narayanan

I had a sparrow silhouette done by Daniel. I must say he did a fantastic job. Since it wad my first time he made me feel comfortable and made me to enjoy the whole procedure. Great joint for tattoo lovers.

Nora Wey

Anthony was such an amazing artist. Brought my idea to him and he made it ten times better on paper, atleast 50 times better on my arm and for a great price. I will definitely be coming back and sending anyone I know here. This place is truly incredible.

Peach Sukari

I was nervous about my first tattoo but Anthony did an amazing job I can't wait to get another tattoo thank you so much guys

Penni Olson

I asked for a realism Dragon Fly 3D, on my upper arm. Daniel delivered excellence above and beyond my expectations. Daniel was professional, takes his time on every bit of ink going into a project to make it as detailed as in real life. Best tattoo artist I have ever worked with. I will be having all my ink work done by Daniel. His shop is nice too, he sells the aftercare lotion at his shop for a reasonable rate. This is by far my best tattoo, looking forward to more. Incredible artist!!!! I Love my Dragon Fly it looks like it landed on my arm. My husband will be going to Daniel, I will refer all my friends, family and my hair clients to Daniel @ Ocean Blue Tattoo & Art Studio!!!! Thanks Daniel!!!

Alicia Oleary

I came into town to visit and really wanted a tattoo since there are not many places to get a tattoo where I'm from. Daniel was really patient and very nice to talk to. He helped me figure out a really good design and the size with a concept I brought in. Turned out amazing! I absolutely love it!

Beniyam Amenu

Price kinda high...went to Aloha monkey.

Stephanie Cline

Daniel is the most amazing watercolor tattoo artist! He listened fully to what I wanted and then put his brilliance to work. I could not be more in love with my tattoo! The shop was clean and everyone was very professional.

Anna Adelmann

VERY professional!! Great work! Very nice guy! Totally recommend this shop to anyone thinking about getting a tattoo! Priced well too!

Benjamen Hamann

Daniel did an amazing job! I have never had such an amazing experience with a tattoo. I came in with a tattoo I had done when I was 18 years old and was never properly finished. Daniel fixed every inch and detail of it and made it the dream tattoo I've always wanted. Thank you so much for the amazing work you do!! Will definitely come back again for all future tattoos. :)

Tammy Hinz

Amazing! My 1st ink & could not be happier with my experience at Ocean Blue Tattoo- Daniel Natural is an an amazing artist that has a sense of humor & is extremely client focused. His staff was welcoming from day one & turned my tatto concept into real art.

Tamara Pichler

I am very happy with my experience and my tattoo. My husband is also happy and excited too as he will soon be getting his tattoo from Ocean Blue as well. Thanks guys!! :)

alberto arriaga

Great work & low stress. Got my first tattoo done from Dan and he worked with me on size, placement, and added a little bit of his masterful talent to my already detailed tattoo: bear in the woods with birds flying over-on my shoulder/chest

Isabelle Petry

The guys at Ocean Blue are amazing! They helped me design the perfect tattoo! Anthony was great at making sure I was ready for everything! Super clean and sterile. I will be going back for sure!!

cass rubert

Everything about the shop was great! Super clean, good music, all the guys were very nice and welcoming. Tenzin did my tattoo in a stippling style, and it looks gorgeous. Highly highly recommend!

Dan S

The guys at Ocean Blue Tattoo are the best... Tenzin has done two pieces for me so far and they've both been spectacular! He specializes in an amazing dot effect, and is happy to work with you to get custom ideas looking just right. On top of that, he has a nice light touch that doesn't make me fear getting more ink, haha. Thanks again!

Evan C

Daniel did an amazing job on my Abe Lincoln portrait and other tattoos. His specialty is portraits and realism. He did amazing works for a great price, and is a perfectionist at his work. Really friendly and quiet environment. He gets my design just right and how I want it. I can't even count how many compliments I get on the tattoo he did. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get tattoo works.

Mary Kridner

I walked in for a consultation for a very easy tattoo. Waited 15 min or so (which us both big deal) The guy that help me (I think his name was Daniel) was rude and rushed me. I was going to charge me $50 for a down payment because they couldn't get me in for a couple weeks (which is fine, even though that was half of the amount of the total tattoo cost) then I spoke with my friend & we decided to get a second quote first. He then told me right after I asked my friend that he's too busy for me right now so I left. The shop is super messy & the customer service was awful. I will never get a tattoo here. I appreciate your reply but the fact that you said I smelled like marijuana is extremely offensive and judgmental. I smoke cigarettes and a tobacco vape pen and that alone. I do not smoke marijuana this goes to show how unprofessional you are. I chose a different shop, which was much better. Don't make assumption on people you know nothing about. If I could give you zero star I would now.

Hubert Hausoul

Daniel and Anthony are both great artists and very friendly

Briana Wallin

Awesome people, awesome place and amazing work thanks Daniel. Love the tattoo!

Katie Pears

Daniel is amazing! Super talented artist, really paid attention to detail.

Amy Thorson

The Ocean Blue team is awesome! They were able to fit my brother and I this weekend for brother sister tattoos, and they turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were so fun to work with, the environment was awesome, and they are reasonably priced. I will be back for sure, and I highly recommend them!

Jim Johnson

The attention to detail of Daniel and the team at Ocean Blue is unlike anything I've ever experienced.

Justin Sedlacek

I've been to four shops in the cities and Ocean Blue by far has the best artist. Hands down the best place I've been for custom work.

Jim Miller

I've known Anthony for 10 years. It's exciting to see how he's matured as an artist and how his vision and work have evolved!

Mimi Ly

Good times to get tatted. Tenzin is really crafted when drawing out the tattoo. Thank-you! I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking to get tatted.

Brian Ofstad

I have had 5 tattoos at this shop. Anthony has done 4 of them, and Daniel has done 1. They are awesome. They take time to listen, and make your ideas come to life. If something wont work, they are not afraid to tell you. IMO that is a rare quality to find I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone I can. As far as prices go, I think they are very fair, for the amount of time they spend with with you designing and doing the work, I will never go to another shop other than here. If I could give 6 stars I would.

marisa leblanc

I've gotten two somewhat larger tattoos here over the last few years (my boyfriend has gotten four smaller ones) and both of us are highly satisfied with the quality of tattoos we received as well as the friendliness of the staff! Daniel has always been very accommodating with our busy schedule to get us in for consultations and the tattoos themselves. It is very evident that each tattoo artist here cares deeply about each design they make and genuinely want to create a cool/beautiful tattoo that will look great and last. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Anthony who did both my tattoos and I'm amazed at how clean and perfect his line work is! I would definitely recommend this shop and will continue to go here in the future.

Olivia Bastyr

Anthony was amazing. He takes time to get to know you and wants to hear the story behind your tattoo. I have a needle phobia and he made it very easy for me to get my first tattoo comfortably. Would recommend 100/100 and will go back!

Jennifer Soika

My 1st tattoo. Anthony did awesome!

Chelsea Jensen

On our way from Indiana to the Mall of America, my friend decided she wanted a tattoo so we stopped at Ocean Blue. She liked the work so much she went back the next day for another one, and we all ended up getting tattoos! The work was very professional and at a much lower price than we would find in our area. It was a great experience and a highlight of our trip.

Brian Hanson

This man is a true artist. I came in with a did from home tattoo that was embarassing, and he totally took his skills to work and saved me...i recomend going here, as futher this is where i will go for all my future work..thanks dan i truely appreciate your work you did

Janice King

I had Daniel do a tribal tattoo on me and his work was that of a artist. His rates were excellent and his work was superb. His shop was clean well lighted and easy to find. I would recommend that you go to him and have your tattoo done. Janice King

Benjamin McCracken

Anthony has given me 2 amazing tattoos his focus on both are something you want to see from your artist. Dan and Anthony both sat down and really made sure it was what I wanted both times. 10/10 I recommend. And they're fair with pricing compared to the other artist I've seen

marc hortsch

These guys are legit. I’ve had work done 4 separate times on 2 pieces. Anthony and Daniel really compliment each other in their styles, both of my pieces contain work from both artists. If you really want to see them shine, have them do their own custom work. I won’t hesitate to go back, in fact I have a few more pieces planned and they’ll all be done by Daniel’s shop.

kris maxwell

Very great place to get a tattoo they will take care of you. Very open too all kinds of people and tat's and Will recommend to others.

Kayla winter

My brother and I went in to get tattoos. His first and my seventh. Daniel was so great!! He took the time to listen and really helped to bring our ideas to life. I was so happy with how our tattoos turned out and so happy that Daniel really made my brothers first tattoo experience so great! I plan to be a repeat customers and can't wait to tell all of my friends about Ocean Blue Tattoo and Daniel!! Thank you so much for the great tattoo!!

V P

I MEAN COMMON! I only trust this place for my tattoos and i absolutely love Daniel Anthony and tenzin

Cameron Stearns

I got a watercolor tattoo with Daniel for my first tattoo. His passion for his work was apparent and contagious. Great experience, I will be returning.

Jeremy Evans

Artists that do tattoos without the arrogance

Rusty Blette

This shop is one of the best in the area. Daniel takes care of business and treats his clients with respect, going out of his way on a daily basic. check Ocean Blue out !!!!!

Paint Colors

My 1st tattoo at Ocean Blue was amazing from start to finish. I met Daniel my first day in the shop and he sat down with me to discuss my idea. We found the design for the cross that I wanted and then found a different design for the Celtic Knot circle that I wanted behind the cross. Within minutes Daniel had photo shopped the circle behind the cross, blended the two images, and cleaned up some of the rough detail. I was sold...but it didn't stop there. Daniel took a photo of my arm, emailed it to himself, made the white parts of the tattoo transparent, and photo shopped the tattoo ONTO THE PICTURE OF MY ARM. I saw exactly what I wanted right there on day 1. Daniel wasn't the right artist for my tattoo though. He recognized that Anthony would do a better job at the detail I wanted and set me up with him. I didn't think things could get any better, and Anthony proved me dead wrong. He walked me through the whole process as he prepped, worked on, and finished the tattoo. I was comfortable the whole time and I felt like I really got to know Anthony while I was there. The day of my tattoo wasn't an appointment, it was an experience. The best part? Ocean Blue uses medical grade bandaging to help the healing process. Within 6 days my tattoo was 90% healed. I, without a doubt, want Anthony to do my next tattoo!!!

Cathy Arbuckle

Daniel is an amazing artist! He perfectly executed the vision I had for my watercolor tattoo. I highly recommend him if you are considering watercolor.

Nell Baegen

My husband and I wanted a tattoo. For my husband, it was in two sessions. we have to say that Anthony worked on it for about 14 to 15 hours. My tattoo also lasted a few hours. I have to say that for the price we paid, we got value for our money. We are from Belgium and are very happy that we met these people and that they could put our tattoos. There is a pleasant atmosphere and you always get something to eat or drink. The tattoo from my husband, who's a firefighter is so special, with a lot of details. My tattoo is also special with a lots of fine work.

Alisa D

Made my tattoo come to life even more then I could have imagined!!

Did a walk in at this shop and had a pleasant experience! Wanted simple moon outline tattoos. The shop was clean and professional. We were told we had to wait for a draw up of the moon but weren’t given much communication from there (timeframe, etc). After 15 minutes we were seated for tattoos and out of the shop within 20 minutes for tattooing and aftercare instructions. Staff was very professional and educational.

I have been coming to Daniel and Anthony at Ocean Blue Tattoo for years. They are exceptionally clean, talented and accommodating. Prices are reasonable and the ones I have gotten from both artists have remained amazingly bright in color and the artistry is awesome...even my son wants to get the same ones i have because they are so great.. my mom is coming from north Carolina to visit and is getting ones from Daniel ..she loves his amazing water colors talent and If I was to move out of area I would still make the trip back no matter the distance to come back to have work done by both Daniel and Anthony ...they really care about their customers!!!! very much worth the visit to check them at and then get some work done!

I recently decided that my first tattoo that I had done back in 1997 was in bad shape and I wanted to do something with it but I just wasn't sure of my options. I had heard about Ocean Blue tattoo from a fellow co-worker and decided to stop in and check the shop out. From the first time I walked in the door I was extremely impressed by how Daniel was paying attention to my many ideas. I asked him what he could do with my old tattoo. He gave me two options, the first was to make my original tattoo brand new or the second option was to have it covered and begin all over. The first option was going to be less expensive then option two. I told Daniel that this tattoo meant a lot to me because I got it done when I was hired for my first real job as a Police Officer. What really impressed me was that Daniel wasn't trying to sell me the more expensive option actually the opposite since he knew the history behind it. Daniel made my decision easy and instantly had ideas of how he was going to make the original tattoo that much better. When I had the tattoo done in 1997, I wasn't let's just say picky on who I had do it for me. The Eagle's head was much larger than it should have been and the American Flag did not have all the color that it should have. Within a hour of Daniel starting to fix the tattoo I could instantly see how talented he was as the Eagle's head and the color in the American Flag made the entire tat look brand new. When he was done with my tattoo I was so impressed how it looked. I was worried that my original tattoo would be lost and those memory's erased as this tattoo has been with me since I became a cop. I have told many of my co-workers about Daniel and Ocean Blue and needless to say they were all very impressed with how my tattoo turned out. As Police Officer's, tattoo's are very much a part of our identity so having talent like Daniel is extremely important to all of us. I have no doubt that my second and third tattoo will be just as awesome as the first one. Customer for life, Chad C.

Anthony tattooed me in May. It was AMAZING!! My over the shoulder butterfly trail is beautiful. Anthony was great to talk to throughout the process and there is absolutely no way that I could be happier. I'm headed back for a wrist cover up and I can't wait to see what he comes up with!! I'm ready to let Anthony take the reigns of my next tattoo:) Thanks so much to both Anthony and Daniel!!! See you soon!!

Daniel did this watercolor phoenix for me today and it came out absolutely amazing! I couldn't be happier with this tattoo. Daniel worked with me on the concept and came up with this design that blew me away. Great work, Daniel! Will definitely be back for my next tattoo.

I'm very happy with my experience at this place. Daniel was very fun to work with on getting my tattoo. This was my first and love it!!! Thanks Daniel

Daniel is awesome. I got my tattoo back in November. My friend actually came in to set up the tattoo for me and Daniel was able to create exactly what I was looking for just from my friend's description. I wanted watercolor (of which Daniel specializes in) and he was able to do exactly that. The watercolor turned out beautiful! And even after a half year the tattoo still looks amazing. If you want watercolor, Daniel is your guy! He is also super fun to talk to and makes you feel comfortable.

I have never had a better experience than with Daniel at Ocean blue. He is so incredibly passionate about his art. He also is determined to get a perfect tat -- huge perfectionist which is something you want in an artist. He's done three of my tattoos and I don't think that I will ever go anywhere else. His work is impeccable.
