My Ol lady had to remove her nose rings for a medical procedure and couldn't get one of them back in. Their piercer had it back in in about 5 seconds and only charged $10. Would absolutely reccomend this business.

Kelly is absolutely amazing. I went in to be hypnotized to quit smoking and he was very personable and talked to me and I haven't smoked since. I took my daughter in to do the same and he did miss the first appointment but he more than made up for it and she also hasn't smoked since. He is amazing and truly cares about his clients. I called to let him know we still haven't smoked and it made his day. He knew exactly who we were and he is a true blessing

We have been coming here for my Daughters piercings since she was 14 and will keep coming back!! The Customer service and the fact they care to say if A piercing will work with the earlobe or not. Love these peeps so much!!! We have spent over 600 in 4 years. Prices are affordable and totally worth it . The only place I will come to get piercing is done.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Tulsa Tattoo Shop

Do I need an appointment to get a tattoo at Big Bad Wolf Tattoo?

Appointments are a good idea, especially if you want a custom tattoo or need time to discuss a specific design. Walk-in availability can vary, so it is best to contact Big Bad Wolf Tattoo before visiting if you are hoping to get tattooed the same day.

Can you create a custom tattoo from my idea?

Yes. Big Bad Wolf Tattoo offers custom tattoos and can work with your ideas, inspiration, preferred style, placement, and overall direction. Bringing reference images or examples can help explain what you like, but the final design should be created to fit your body and the area being tattooed.

Do you offer tattoo cover-ups in Tulsa?

Yes. Big Bad Wolf Tattoo offers tattoo cover-ups. Because every existing tattoo is different, the artist will need to look at the size, darkness, colors, placement, and condition of the old tattoo before recommending the best approach for a new design.

What tattoo styles do you offer?

Big Bad Wolf Tattoo provides custom tattoo work that can include black-and-gray tattoos, color tattoos, fine-line tattoos, traditional styles, memorial tattoos, and tattoo cover-ups. If you have a specific style or design in mind, contact the shop to discuss your idea before scheduling.

Can I bring my own tattoo design or reference images?

Yes. Reference images, sketches, photos, and examples can help show the artist what you have in mind. The artist can use those ideas as a starting point and help develop a custom tattoo that works with your preferred size, placement, and style.

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Eat beforehand, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol before your appointment. Wear comfortable clothing that makes the tattoo area easy to reach. If you have questions about preparation, medications, skin conditions, or anything else that could affect the appointment, contact the shop before you arrive.

Can you tattoo over an old or faded tattoo?

Possibly. Some older or faded tattoos can be reworked, incorporated into a new design, or covered with a larger tattoo. The best option depends on the existing ink, so an artist should evaluate the tattoo before recommending a specific approach.

Yes. Big Bad Wolf Tattoo and Body Piercing provides both tattoo and body piercing services in Tulsa. Customers looking for tattoo work and professional piercing services can contact the shop to learn more about current availability and appointment options.
