Custom-only tattooing from a collective of award-winning artists. No flash, no filler - every piece is drawn from scratch, for one person. Made to last.
Most people find us through a piece they couldn't stop looking at. Here's a sample - every one designed from scratch, inked here in OKC.
We don't do flash
off the wall.
You bring the idea.
We draw the rest.
Custom-only means no two pieces leave this shop the same. You sit down with the artist whose work pulled you in, you talk it through, and they draw it from scratch - for you, for keeps. It takes longer. That's the point.
Opened Ironwood in 2017 on one rule: custom only. Fifteen years deep in black & grey, known for large-scale single-session-planned sleeves and religious imagery. Books months out, and it's worth the wait.
Award-winning color work - florals, animals, anything that breathes. Sloane treats skin like canvas and color like light. If you want a piece that looks like it could blink, this is your chair.
A surgeon's hand for the small stuff - fine line, micro-detail, lettering that actually holds up a decade later. Desmond also runs the guest-artist program, so there's always something new on the books.
Bring a reference, a feeling, or just a blank arm. We talk it through with the right artist - placement, size, what'll actually age well. No pressure, no deposit to chat.
Your artist draws it from scratch and sends it over. We tweak until it's exactly yours. You never see your design on someone else - that's the whole deal.
Clean, licensed, single-use everything. We book the time the piece actually needs - no rushing a tattoo you'll wear forever.
