Think Ink Tattoos

Randomly came called to see if they had some time available to tattoo me and my friend, Chris (tattoo artist) pushed back his appointment to get us in real quick. He did an excellent job and it was an overall great experience. He showed that he cared and also gave the «don’t bitch out, you got this pep talk.» Just as an FYI, Chris stated the shop will be moving to Main Street soon. I don’t live in OK but if I ever go back looking for tattoo, I would definitely go back to Think Ink.

Don’t get tattooed by David «Hek» Rogers if you want to have any real say on the vision you have for your own tattoo. This guy does not take input or critiquing well and will talk down to you as though he’s the only person who knows anything about art. And if you’re a woman, he’s doubly disrespectful. One of those hypersensitive, condescending, pouty artists who needs to respect the fact that his canvas is YOUR body, and you should have what you want, not the other way around. Avoid him like the plague.

LEVI from Think Ink is a PHENOMENAL artist. He worked with me to create exactly what I wanted, and when it was all said and done, words couldn’t even do justice the level of thankfulness I was experiencing. Seriously, a wonderful place to go for a tattoo. Friendly, easy to work with, really cares about his work… I am SO happy with my piece. Whatever the price, it is beyond worth it. Here is a pic:

If you’re considering a tattoo and want it to be amazing (more than just an OU symbol or a peace sign), make an appointment with Dave Bruehl at Think Ink. If you have to wait a few weeks for an appointment, he’s worth it. Seriously, any time I see someone with a gorgeous vibrant tattoo in the Norman/​OKC area, they say that got it from Dave Bruehl (visit his Myspace page or website for examples of his work).
Dave took my rough idea and turned it into something remarkable, beyond all my expectations. In my opinion, he’s at his best when you don’t turn him into a human Xerox machine– he’s a great artist so let him come up with a unique design for you.
The shop itself is very clean, surprisingly bright, and pleasantly decorated– it doesn’t look like a place to have afternoon tea but it doesn’t look like Rob Zombie walked in and exploded either (which is a refreshing change). The other artists seem very friendly and the work I saw them doing was very well done also.
If I could give this place ten stars, I totally would.
