Ocean Blue Tattoo & Art Studio

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.

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.

Truly a one-of-a-kind studio. Daniel and his staff are some of the most talented and most collaborative artists I have come across.

At ocean blue come in with a design idea and work with one of the artists to both flesh out a full concept while also getting valuable feedback on how to best translate the design to a tattoo. They will sit down with you in front of their computer and work in Photoshop so you can see exactly how something is going to look on you and make changes well before any ink starts going on.

Their sanitary practices are top-notch and they are the first studio I have been to in the twin cities that uses a modern and state-of-the-art healing technique that involves a medical grade second skin product. The net result is a rapidly healed tattoo, little to no chance of infection, and far less pain while healing. Heck you can even shower with their wrap on!

I definitely recommend this place and at the time of this review I have had roughly 15 hours of work done between Daniel and Anthony at ocean blue.

Love my tattoo I got from them Daniel is so cool and Jared did a great job making my first tattoo experience easy with great advice for how to care for it. Would and have recommended it to many friends

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

This place is awesome, Daniel (the owner) is always welcoming and tries to squeeze me into the schedule as soon as he can. I will not get tatted anywhere else.

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.

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 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.

Had an amazing experience here! Anthony was super kind and a true artist! id recommend anyone here. The vibe is super chill and welcoming. Pricing is fair for the serious talent. Had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back for my next tattoo! Thank you Ocean Blue Tattoo!
