Where do I start with Pair o Dice? Let me start by saying this: if you want a tattoo in Tulsa, this is the only place you should go. I've basically dedicated the rest of my non tattooed skin to this shop. Why you ask, what's different? They are people that love tattooing! I mean really love tattooing. The shop is run by Richard and Jen Stell and good ol Bubba Reaves. Both Richard and Bubba have learned from some of the best tattooers around. They have serious resumes. But don't take my word for it, just walk in and look at their work. This place is clean! It is (to my knowledge) the first and only shop to pass health inspections on the first walk through in Oklahoma. They have taken great care to keep it that way. The shop is also beautiful in terms of design. Original tattoo flash and painting decorate the walls. (Its probably the only place around with original Ed Hardy paintings) So, if you love tattooing and solid work from friendly folks this is your place. If you want terrible tattoos, go some where else. read more

Pair -O- Dice Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I was a walk-in one Sunday afternoon looking to cover-up a hideous tribal I got a few months back at some place on Brookside. Anyway, without expectations I consulted with one of the artists, Joe, about some ideas. I came back three days later to a badass lotus flower half-sleeve. Joe's attention to detail absolutely blew me away we got started immediately. After a few sittings I have this amazing half-sleeve completely covering that hideous past mistake. I joke with Joe and say he saved my arm because if I couldn't find an artist to cover up my last tattoo them I'd go through with amputation. Needless to say, I highly recommend Pair-O-Dice and Joe if you are looking for a great artist with any tears of experience. I have no regrets with this and, in fact, plan to go back for more in the future. read more

Pair -O- Dice Tattoo - Upper half of my tattoo. - Tattoo Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I required a fairly complicated tattoo of the 50 state flowers as well Guam and Puerto Rico as a full sleeve. I was required to come in and put down a $100 deposit in order to have a design worked up to counteract flakiness in their customers, which I completely understood. The $100 deposit is applied towards my last session. We did need to reschedule once, but I didn't mind at all as Jen kept me in the loop, as well as sent me a rough draft of the design Joe was working up. Everyone at the shop was very professional and nice. Honestly, when I left Oklahoma 20 years ago tattoos weren't even legal. So it was very nice to find such a nice shop here in Tulsa. Between Texas and California I've been to some very nice and vety crappy tattoo shops. We completed the outline the first day and I'll be back in a couple of weeks to work on the color. I'm very impressed with Joe's line work and very excited for the color to be added. I have complete confidence I'm going to love the finished product. Will add to this post when finished. Edit: sorry the small pics, I cropped them to not include anything to revealing. read more

Pair -O- Dice Tattoo - 'Free tattoo tomorrow' - Tattoo Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Just had my first tattoo done today at Pair-o-Dice and it was a fantastic experience. Dan was super friendly and encouraging, not to mention a very skilled artist. I came in with a design in mind, he sketched it out in about 5 minutes perfectly. I love the atmosphere, like an old school barber shop. I will probably have another design done here in the future. read more

You are not getting a real tattoo unless you are getting it here. Richard and Jen are the best, and I'm not just being cliche, do your homework on who they are. Richard Stell is a legend. He tattoos tattooers. He is well respected in the industry. He has done about 20 hours worth of work on me and I have enjoyed every trip I have made from Dallas TX. I drive 5 hours to get a tattoo from him, if you are local, I'm jealous. If you are going to get a tattoo, get it here. read more

Had Jay give me a tattoo today. Called first just to see if they were busy. Gave him an idea of what I wanted. Went in about an hour later and he already had some sketches drawn up. I loved them. Made my selection and back to the chair I went. It was great. We chatted about a bit of everything which kept my mind off the worst parts of the tattooing process when it became intense. I would absolutely go back if in the Tulsa area. Clean place, awesome atmosphere, and the artist was spectacular. He literally brought my dreams to light read more

Pair -O- Dice Tattoo - Easy to spot! - Tattoo Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I was visiting Tulsa, from Houston, and called ahead a few days. I spoke with Jen, one of the owners. She was super nice and accommodating. I wanted to come in on a Tuesday, and she said they normally do by appointment only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and accommodated my schedule for an afternoon appointment. When I arrived, I did end up having to wait for some time for her to prepare and sketch up my design, but that is the only "negative" part of my experience. I had a custom piece, drawn by a friend. Jen was very good about getting it down as I wanted, asking me lots of questions, listening to my feedback and doing what I asked for. The actual work itself was relatively very quick; Jen is deft and professional at what she does. She stopped many times throughout to ask me questions about how I wanted things done. She gave me her suggestions but ultimately listened to what I wanted. They also own Scorpion Studio here in Houston! What a cool coincidence. She told me if I needed any touch up work, to just call her and let her know and she would let them know I was coming by. Very awesome and professional! All in all, I am super happy with my experience and my piece and would definitely recommend these guys. The shop itself is cute (it used to be a brothel, lols) and I liked how they had it set up/decorated. I gave a "moderate" price rating because I feel that it was on the level with what most any other shop would have charged me. read more

Very disorganized. Their posted phone number is out of service and they don't actually follow their posted open hours. The small building and its surroundings are in complete disarray. They don't want you to go there, they instead expect you to magically know to text their number instead of calling and describe the tattoo you want. The artists here might be capable of great work but I'll never know because they can't run a business properly. read more

Dan did a tattoo for my husband which turned out better than we even hoped. He was very easy going, made us feel comfortable and his art work is beautiful. He's a great guy in a great shop and we will definitely go back. read more

I feel bad giving this place a bad review because everybody seems to love it but... The younger guy that was suppose to do my tattoo was the biggest asshole I've ever met. He talked to me like I was incompetent. I wanted a simple tattoo, literally just some dots and lines, even though I couldn't find an exact picture; I was trying to talk to him and work with him. He wanted it to be his work, not mine though, every time I tried to talk to him he interrupted me and made all my ideas sound stupid. To me, a tattoo artist is someone that is suppose to help you and work with you to figure out what you want. Guess I was wrong. To make it worse, he started playing on his phone while I was talking to him. I do want to say, the older man with the eye patch was really nice and his work looked good! And that over all the tattoo store seemed awesome, just not a good experience for me. read more

I went in to get a simple tattoo, the person giving me the tattoo was visibly drunk. Literally had open bottle of brandy where he was drawing the tattoo. We waited for over 4 hours even with a scheduled appointment and no one else in the store. Of the 3 people who were going to get tattoos only one ended up getting one. The tattooer was touching the needles without gloves on. The place was dirty, and smelled like smoke and incense. There was apparently a blind man named Richard who was liable to stumble in at any moment and tear shit up. That being said the tattoo did turn out fine. But I cannot stress this to you enough, do not go to this tattoo shop. read more

This was my very first tattoo experience, so take my review with a grain of salt in that respect, but David did a great job and keeps up lively conversation the whole way. I brought in a loosely sketched out idea, and he was able to turn my chicken scratching into a very meaningful tattoo to honor a group of kids I coached. He had no problem touching it up a few days later and remembered me, jumping in right where we left off in conversation and having me in and out of the chair in ten minutes. read more

Great shop. Richard and his wife are genuinely nice people. Richard's artwork speaks for itself. If you want an amazing, classic american traditional tattoo... Richard is the man. read more

I went in with a vague idea of what kind of tattoo I wanted and David went above and beyond to create something even more beautiful than I had imagined! He was so personable and kind, and made me feel very comfortable while I got my tattoo done by getting to know me and consistently ensuring I was happy with the work he was doing. He stayed past closing to finish my tattoo, and showed that he really cared about doing great work rather than just getting paid. If I decide to get another tattoo there is no doubt I will return here, and have already recommended to friends. Thank you so much David and Pair O Dice! read more
